LEON JASTREMSKI,
ditor aOnd EBusiness 1FaY rager
EATON ROUGE, LA., FEB'Y 8, 1879.
SALUTATORY.
We present to-day to the public the
first rumber of the LOUISIANA CAPI
TOLIAN, in response to the verdict of
the people of the State, re-establish
ing the Capital at Baton Rouge. We
have adopted the title after mature
deliberation, as one eminently suited
to the present situation of affairs, and
one that, appertains to residents or
things that are of the political me
tropolis.
We deem it opportune to offer our
heartfelt congratulations to the voters
of our commonwealth for their great
great achievement. They have for the
third time selected our beautiful city
as the seat of the State government.
They have shown clearly by this de
cision, and by voting down with great
odds the other twenty proposed
amendments, that they view the Cap
ital question as paramount to every
measure tending towards a return to
the economical and judicious adinin
istration of public affairs of the ante
bellum (days.
To their efforts to abolish all unne
cessary offices, and the reduction of
exorbitant salaries to an equitable
basis, as well as to an adjustment of
the public indebtedness, in order that
internal improvements may be inaug
urated and developed throughout the
State, the people will find. the CArI
TOLIAN always in the front rank to
sustain such demands.
By the will of the manjority Baton
Rouge is once more the Capital of
Louisiana. This decision is the
strongest indication that our truest
citizens are re-establishing our fialen
glory, and that a better day is at
hand.
We believe that the :approaching
Convention will be composed of hon
est and patriotic representatives, lIe
lieving this. we know that they will
ratify the popular verdict and inti~ert
in the clause fixing the seat of go-
ernment, the words BIATON ROt(;E!
The democratic delegates particu
larly, who will beyond doubt con
stitute the majority in that body;
cannot, unless they be recreant to
their duty, do otherwise than main
tain the expressed will of the people.
No citizen can forget the agony felt
during those four years of bitter con
test for the installation of the Mc
Enery government, rightfully elected
at the ballot box-a fact that war
ranted the sending of the Committee
of Seventy to WVashington and nerved
the arms of the patriots who fought
and fell on the ever inemnoraldl, four
teenth of September! Considering as
we do, that the principle that obedi
ence to the will of the inajori- is one
that should always he maintained, we
have in advance of the ratification of
Baton Rouge's victory, taken up the
title of CAPITOLIAs with the luinwaver
ing intention of striking forever, with
such force as may be ours, at the
opponents, whoever and wherever
they may be, of that principle upon
which rests the grand structure erdct
ed by American freemenl!!
As to our political faith, we have
to say that we are of that grind ammy
upon whose banners "DEMOCRACY"
is indellibly stamped. That army
oftimes beaten, oftimes victorious,
though never vanquished or disrupted.
WVe are a democrat because we believe
in that principle, that even monarchial
Europe is being forced to conlcede on
all sides, i. e., UNIVERSAL SUFFR1AGE
fromn which we of the South fear no
evil effects, so long as the Federal
government respects the right of home
rule, which is essential to the pre
se-rvation of that liberty, that the
fathers of the constitution have guar
anteed through that_instrument, and
for the lrnpetuation of the American
Republic.
To abandon the Democratic ranks
is to wander without a conllpass on
the boundless Ocean of tile ever
changing theories of Demnagogism. In
late years we have witnessed and
have paid dearly for the strides that
have been made towards centraliza
tion. We have seell State govern
ments overturned by the Federal
po\wer, at the will and caprice of the
most unscrupulous lartisans. We
hIve seen American freemlen dragged
from their homes to trial before cor
rupt judges ;-this thr9ugh orders
issued at the National CapIital, which
had become -ta- 1filitary headqualrters.
- f,fiave seen a horde of political
taeckals swoop don\ 1 upon ever-y city
and hamluet of our Southhmnd, and
there feed on the very vitals of our
Sunfortunate peopile, compelled to re
main passive under the most galling
and hmiuiliating rule. It was high
tre8 then to resent degradation
-aid .insulTjd resist robbery! Sufli
cient to call int-e bjont of the
sof e U;nited States.
±--wtja ith the experi
not allege tiat all that
• &t ; p ocratic phalanxes
to undying p that in
~tan s rests guide
-onumon country. 1Meli our
are easily changed and swept away;
principles never!
While we point to what we deem to
be the interests of country and State,
we will not forget that our first duty
is to develop the resources of our
vicinity. We will sound the call re
peatedly and untiringly whenevet in
our opinion the prospect is favorable
to the achievement of some public
good.
We will not wait until others have
opened the way to speak out boldly
our ideas. The CAPITOLIAN will ring
its own chimes. We will also labor
to unite our people and endeavor to
prevent strife. To fuitlher this latter
olbject we will avoid personalities, so
detrimental to the concord of a com
munity.
We will strive to render the CArl
TOLIAN attractive and useful to the
housekeeper, the farmer, the merchant,
the n:echanic and the professional
man. By these nleans we hope to
receive the material alpport and en
dorsement of the public of this city
and section; a public that we have
always found to be brave, liberal and
kind.
In entering the open field of honora
ble competition, we extend to our
brethrell of the press the right hand
of fellowship. We can assure them
that the remarks, that we may from
time to time have occasion to address
to themn, will be marked with that
courtesy that shou0111(1 chaacterize
journalists, whose aim it is to elevate
the profisession, as well as to merit the
esteem of their patrons and readers.
THE DELEGArES TO THE CON
- VENTIOs.
It will soon become neccessary for
the people to select three delegates to
represent the parish ill the Constitu
tiouil Convention. Thllese delegates
will Ie expected to advocate the pop
ular denmands for a thorough reformu
of our governlment. These consist:
First-in the establishment of all
unnecessary offices, and a reduction
of salaries of public officials to a prop
er basis.
Secondly-in an ad.justment of the
public indebtedness in a manner that
will be equitable alike to t1"_ State
and its creditors.
Thirdly--in a material red.ction of
taxation.
Besides these dlenluads the delegates
of East Baton Rouge, will be entrust
ed with the all important duty of ob
taining the ratification of the nmajority
vote given at the late election in favor
of Baton touge for State Capital.
It is absolitely nI(ce.sary that the
voter4, white andul colored, eallocrats,
RIepubllic:tas and Independents, cast
aside for this occasion, all differences
either political or personal, in order
that three capable, energetic and pub
lie spirited men be chosen to pelrform
these dutties. It must be apparent to
all that tlt( lmaj(iority ill that conveln
tion will be coporsed of l)emocrats.
Therefore, in order to exercise the in
fluence that our delegation must hare,
the delegates must be in good stanLd
ing with that majority.
Tilhe convention has not been called
for the political advancement of the
Democrat i I party, as is erroneously he
lieved by some of the colored voters.
The fact that the Democratic lparty
has now an almost entire control
of the State govertnment, aught to
dispel such fears if any there are.
The convention will he held for the
purpose only of ameliorating the con
dition of affairs in our State, an end
that will be of benefit to all our citi
zens without distinction. We do not
hesitate t.l4ssert, that the delegates
of this lparsll, will maintain and de
fend the true )Denocr' tic doctrine,
now irrevocablly accepted by the
parlty-un i'Ceral suf1ral (e-and the
protection of the equal rights of all
citizens without distinction of race or
previolus condition.
Let all private ambitions hIe held in
abe-ance·, in tihe fcce of this alsoluite
public necessity. Let tilhe "d'og in the
lulalngel'" feeling-that if one can't
anoth,,er iuLstI'nt-lbe firowed down
this time. ThIe pay will barely meet
ex)ens.s5, andl as to tile honor confer
red, those only who will have dlone
tlheir whole dluty to this lpeople, will
olhtaini it.
For the sake of our conmuton wel
tra, alll thell fhitture( lr)oslpierity of our
city and paiLrishl, we appeal to all our
citizens, to join hands together ind
make tihe best possible selection. Let
the scraIlbIle for oftice cont somen
Sother time.
Steveral ;nami1es have already ,beenl
suggested b3y our local papers. We
pledge beforehand the hearty support
of tilhe C_.\rl.l.\x, to any atnd all
those who may be sclectedl.
lIox. BI. F. JosAs.--We desire to
give exltr'ssion to the satistheation
that we fiel at this selection of so
talented and worthy amnong Lou
isiana's sons, as her representative
to the National Senate. There were
in the field several competitors, well
known, and occupyling high positions
in the esteem of the people. None of
them, however, would have done
their State more credit than we are
sure he will do. Mr. Jonas is a young
lman. a rising one in the political
arena. T\e know of him that he car
tried his musket, as a private, in the
service of his State, and right gal
lantly, too. We know besides that
he is upright, fearless, eloquent and
.talentedl. He has ever been true to
hids party and to his friends. Whilst
every citizen has his preferences, still
all those who know him, will feel
assured that the honor of Louisiana
is in good and safe hands.

We have considered it a propos at I
this tiine to throw some light upon
the Capital question, although it has
been settled in favor of Baton Rouge.
The Constitution of 1845, in Art.
112, states that the seat of Govermnen d
shall be fixed at someplace not lees than
Sixty miles from the Cityj of Near Or

duce the reasons that actuated the il
lustrious men,-many of whose names
will ever be a precious heirloom in our
State,-to adopt such a measure. A

in itself bear the guarantee that tlwir
action was wise and patriotic. We

I H /": CON P Itn. a S P.
The fifth of August, 1862, finds the
Ca(pital of Louisiana bristling with
Federal bayonets !* There are "can
non to the right. and cannon to the
left." Lilies of Ime clad in blue are
formed in the suburbs of the city. A
fleet of war ships is aligned in the Mlis
sissippi ; the guns are trained and the
cannoineers are at their posts. The
vessels are there to cover and aid the
movements of the land foirces. Sud
denly, at the dawn of day, the still
ness of the scene is broken-volley
after volley of musketry is heard, soon
followed by heavy discharges of ord
nance. It is the attack-the attempt
l to recalpture the State Capital. The
heroic Breckenridge is there with his
stalwart and unfaltering Kentt'ckians,
closely followed by the patriotic Allen,
who leads his gallant Louisianians in
the onslaught. The rest is known.
The attack has faliled, and the devoted
banud sullenly retires from the field.
The earth is tinged with the life blotd
of the contlending hosts.
Monthls have elapsed. Tie capitol
I building is now a prison house. Sen
tries are visible at every entrance,
watching over captive citizens and
:,oldiers of Louisiana. The miagtifi
cent editice is hin morning attire; its
beauty is noG# diimmed. Soon the
torch of the incendiary will do its
work. On a Decenmber day, one tlhat
i Baton lougeanls will always remem
Ier with the depest anguish, the ah~rmn
of fire is sounded, and from one of
the towers of Lnuisiana's Capitol,
r the hIurid flalnes are seen to emerge
high above it. The fire fiend will
t have done with his prey. Tluhank
God for it, the wall and towers are
left standing. There they are as
fI irtly rooted as ever. The demnon of
destruction lhas. spared them. Tihe
t pleolde of Baton lRouge are consoled.
SThey look to an euarly daly, when the
war will lhave ceased, to see tlhe Capi
tol restored in all its" splendor. Alas,
Sthey have reckoned without their
hosts!
On Vednesdlay April thile Gtll 1864,
so the records show-"A communica

closed the general order of Major
SGeneral Nathaniel P. Banks, under
Swhich the election for delegates was

THE HIJ OWpFAL IS D PAGflIO
We have learned from reliable sour- 1
ces that this road is being rapidly and "'
earnestly pushed to its completion.1
There can be no doubt now, of the en
tire success of this great enterprise.,
When completed this line will be one
the best paying routes in the South,
and one of vital importance to the
Crescent city and to the rich and fer
tile country it will traverse. To
Baton Rouge, it means regular and
rapid communication with. the coast
parishes and New Orleais, a point
that will be wvithin five hours travel
of our city. We will also have access,
by this line to the Red River Valley
and the entire road system of Eastern
Texas. A branch of five miles in
length or a ferry boat will easily con
nect us with the main trunck passing
about a mile west of the river at
Bruly Landing, in West Baton Rouge
Our city becomes naturally the ob
jective point for our Clinton neighbors
to reach, if they too,-as we have no
doubt they do-desire to obtain rapid
transit for their merchandise and pas
sengers to the principal highways of
commerce. It is evident therefore,
that the trade of that productive
section of country lying between the
Mississippi and the Jackson road,
must now seek its river terminus
here, in order to effect its connection
with the Pacific route. Steamers ply
ing from Bayou Sara and points
North of us will also necessarily have
a terminus at this place.
It requires but ordinary perception
to see that the location that nature
has provided for our city, is about to
turn the scale of prosperity to our
doors. With the restoration of the
Capital, and the road and steamer
connections above mentioned, it can
not be doubted tuhat Baton Rouge is
soon to become a central and imupor
tant commercial point.
It behooves our citizens however
to be alive and doing, in order that
such steps as are necessary to aid in
achlieving these culad may be taken.
We will refer to these mattcrs again.

to his broother, who was a ifarii.
ing on his route in Arkansas. It i3
not necessary for us to follow- h m.U
his road, or tell what discoveries bi t
made in the interest of silence;
sufficient it is that one day, toward
dusk, he reached the house of the
gentleman for whom he hadthe let er,
and dismounting, knocked at the door
and presented his letter to the Judge
(even in those days every one was a
Judge in Arkansas,) who would not
have needed it to accord him an
open-handed welcome; for travelers
were a god-send, and news was as
mhuch sought after then as now. After
a short visit he proposed:to go on to
the next town, about four miles, where
he intended to put up for the night..
The Judge would not listen to his f
leaving, and was so cordial in his
desire for him to stay that he would
have been rude not to have done so.
The Judge, after directing one of the
servants to attend to his horse, in
vited him into the dining-room,;where
he was introduced to the wife and
daughter of Gis host, and also to a
substantial Western supper, to which
lie did ample justice.
After supper they adjouinme to the
parlor, and he entertained hids new
made friends with the latest news
from the outside world. The Judge
brewed some stiff whisky punch,
which Graham, socially inclined im
bibed quite freely. The old couple
retired, and left their daughter to en
tertain him; and whether it was the
punch, or what, at all events he made
hot love to her, and finally asked her
to be his wife and go to Texas with
ht im, to which she consented. She
being unsophiscated and innocent
took everything he said in downright
earnest, antd with her it was a case of
love at first sight.
But I am anticipating. During the
night our friend the doctor woke up,
L and remembered what he had said
and it worried him, but he said to
Y himself, after emptying his water
epitcher. Never mind, I'1 make it all
right in the morning. I must have
made a fool of mnyself. She's lovely,
but what must she not think of me !"
and rolled over and went to sleep
again. Morning came, and upon his
c going down to the parlor he found the
young lady alone, for which he bless
ed his lucky stars, and was just about:
to make an apology, when she said :
It "I told mama, and she said it was
" all right,' at the same time giving him
a kiss which nearly took his breath
away. "Papa is going to town this
morning, dear! and you ride in with
Shim and talk it over, but he won't ob
ject, I know.'
"But, my dear miss, I was very
foolish and
"'o, indeed, you were all right.!'
"t Well, I will go to my post and re
Sturn for yoe, for I must go on at
once."
'NO, I can go with you.'
"You won't have time."
' "Oh yes, I will. Papa will fix that.
* It would be such an expense for you
to come back all the way here."
' "But I have no way of taking you.'
"I have thought of that; that does
not make any difference. Father
wrill give a team.
With nearly tears in his eyes he
- went in to breakfast, to which at tlhat
c moment they were both summoned,
but, alas! appetite he had none. It
e was not that she was pretty and nice,
a but hie thought wht a confounded
d fool she must be no~T to see that he
w wanted to get out of it. But it was
g no use. When the Judge started for
e town Dr. Graham was sitting beside
e him. The Judge saved hiin the trou
e ble of broaching the subject by start
- ing it himself:
st "I always, young man, ~e Nell
id herown way, so it is all rifht; you
at need not say a word."
a. "But I've got to go on to-day."
is The old Judge turned his eyes to
ward him. He hat. an Arkansas
it bowie in each, and one of those dou
ble-barrel shot-gun looks as he said,
e "You ain't a trying to get out of it,
an are you!"
- The Doctor, taking in the situation,
said, promptly, all bope being gone,
e "No, sir."
"That's right. I will fix every
d thing for you; give you that black
