We have for sale several bushels of

bushel is amply sufficient to seed an
entire acre, owing to its great tendency
to stool out. AS soon as this wonderful

it will replace all other winter wheat as

THE LEGISLATURE.

The General Assembly OF Louis
lana. fresh from the people, Will
convene in Baton Rouge on Monday
next, May f3, in session OF sixty
days.
on Monday, May 90. Judge Hall
will be inauguratcd, and as GOV
ernor of Louisiana he vii outline III
his message the needs of the State
in substantial reforms and take ms
stand as progressive, broad guagc
Democratic representative OF the
people.
In his policies, which we feel sure
will be in full consOnance with the
reasonable expectations of the PEG
pie, he must have the cordial sup
port Of the Legislature, and to that
end every effort, il there be such,
to embarrass his administration,
must be checked summarily.
II is believed that the Governor
will be accorded the fullest and the
most generous support of the Gen
eral Assembly.
OF the legislators who will begin
their first experience, there may be
those who may have their pockets
filled with bills completed and some
with bills in embryo which they
would have enacted into laws, but
a moments reflection will convince
any thoughtful man that there are
now more laws in existence than
are necessary, and that instead OF
their increase, it would be wise tc
revise many of these enaCtments,
they me not repealed altogether.
What is needed in Louisiana are
sensible, practical enactments thai
will operate in the relief of the peo.
pie from the unnecessary burdens
of taxation for special privileges
but vii crease revenue sufficient
to maintain comfortably the char.
lily hospitals, the insane asylums
the reformatory and other public
Institutions which are deserving Of
recognition and material assistance
not emitting the Confederate sol
diers who are in need of relief.
In brief, what is essential is sane
and substantial legislation that will
operate to The good Of all the PEG
pie.

Negroes at Plano. Tex, are badly
frightened. A strange member OF
their race, seen at various points in

ton with warning notices, bearing
skulls and cross bones on the doors
OF several negro houses, and conster'
nation followed.
White residents are not paying
much attention to the matter, although
1t is believed by some that the posting
of the signs is the work Of boys. Some
time ago Hugh Harvey, white boy,
was struck on the head with an iron
bar by q negro, dying in several days.
Thirty days after another white boy
was badly cut by negro.
On the door of the house where the

larly grewsome skull, with strong
threat Of violence. A majority Of the
