The New Orleans Times, in commenting upon the lack
of enterprise among the mereh,int of that city which
has permitted one trade c haOnnl after anootler n toe
diverted elsewhere Fgos on to say
A struggle is now going on between St. Loe:i and
New Orleans for the trade of Red River-a trade which
the latter would never have had a competitor, except
through the grossest mismanagement. It is therefore
the bounden duty of the merchants of New Orleans,
and all institutions interested in its commercial pros
perity, to repair a fault but a year ago so threatening
with serious conseqluences.
A. feasible project has just been .tarted ,I Jefferson,
Texas, which furnish,-e one such opportunity. The
Council of that city has just appropriated $50,r00
toward a fired designed to be uneed for the prchase of
dredge tboats and the subsequent dredging of ilake
Caddo and Cypress Bayou, thus securing uninterrupted
and safe navigation between Shreveport and Jefferson
the entire year round. To carry out this project suc
cessfully, the sum needs to be doubled, and with that
an appeal has been made to our merchants and insu
rance companies, which should be promptly and liber
ally responded to. It is useless for us to enlarge upon
the benefits likely to a':crue to our city by keeping this
channel of navigation open permanently instead of at
fitful seasons, since they must be apparent to every
man In business. We are glat n P that so far the
proposition has met with fal " nragement,
and have no doubt the entire fuidh requtled will be
duly talsed.
We some stme since noticed that fifty- members o
the California Legislature erfdersed the action of thb
clerk of the county court of Sacramento county in re
fusing to register colored voters. We have sicge seer
the letter they addressed to him, in which th~f sa :
As the right to prescribe the qualifications of voten
has been exercised by the States, each inits s6.ereigt
capaoity, since the formation of the Goverpment, It It
clear that the power is not one that hasyet been "del
egated," and since the State has refuvd, in the most
emphatic manner, to assent to the Fift~-(so called

all men can satisfy themselves by reading the tenth
amendment thereto. For your fidelity to your sworn
duty, and for your manliness In this time, marked by
the degeneracy of so great a portion of the Agnerican

Il.NT von A Lost CmLton.-The Trinity (Texas)
Advocate tell- the following touching story of a lost
child :
One day la. t week a little boy, only two years of
age, 'on of Mr. John H. Barrett, lising on Luke Creek,
in this county, straved from his father's house and be
came iost in the woods. As soon as missed, the family
and -i-rvatis turned out and made diligtent search iii
,ie hitt for the little wandierer, but i ito!ti t

t, the lost darling may be easily imagined. The alarm
L givell to the neighbors. and in a shoat time sonicm
,orly icr fifty sere assembled to assist in the search.
They formed themselves in companles of twos and
Ihr-er, at il t thlic nst:nner beat the wood= il 'every
Duriing tle whole niight the search was continued:
every thicket, hill and hollow, for miles around, was
vi-ited and examined, and when the sun rose next morn
:ig the lost babe was not yet found.
But the search was still kept up. No flagging of
real or loss of interest and sympathy in the breasts ol
!:te kinld neighbors. The little one must be found, lie
isn found. It was about 8 o'clock that morning when
a gentleman discovered the child sitting between
the forks of a fallen tree, scarcely half a mile from
home, sound asleep! Wishing to give notice of hi:
siccess in finding the cmild, the gentleman raised the
horn, which he carried at his side, and gave a long,
loud blast, whichrang far and wide through the woods.
At the noise, the little sleeper slowly raised his head,
and looking up at the huntsman, lisped :
"I ihe'rd a ole turkey dobble down son'er dls
mornin."
He showed no signs of fright, and made no com.
plaint at the inconveniences of the night's onjourn in
the forest without food or shelter.
Ho:.tciz.-Last Monday Mr. Wnm. Sebnatiao, a
planter living about fifteen miles below this place, on
Bayou Patrice, killed Mr. George Brown, an English
man and a peddlar well known in this pr.riih. Mr. S,'
bastian voluntarily surrendered himself to the authori.
ties on Tuesday and on Wednesday he was tried be
fore the Parish Court and acquitted. From the evi
dence adduced before the court we get the following
particulars: Brown last year sold goods to negroes
in Sebastian's employ, for which he demanded that Se
bastian should be responsible. This Sebastian refused
to do, saying, however, that he would settle with the
negroes for their labor and they could settle with Brown.
Not satisfied with this proposition of Sebastian, on the
day he was killed, the deceased went to Sebastian's
house and again demanded payment of the debts.
Sebastian again refusing to comply with his visitor's
demand, sharp words ensued, after which Brown took
his shot-gun from his wagon and fired on Sebastian,
who was sitting on the steps of his residence, but
missed him. Sebastian then ran into the house, seized
his gun--a doubled-barreled shot-gun-and fired both
barrels at his assailant, wounding him in the left artm
Being disabled, Brown could not discharge the other
b hrrel, though he endeavored to do so. In the mean
time Sebastian procured his rifle and fired again on
Brown, this time striking him near the heart killing
him instantly. We may add that Brown had made re
peated threats on Sebastian's life.
[Mansfield Reporter, 1Lth
MOR~ Pao ecrtos.-We copy as follows fron tiHe
St Louis Republican:
Wasuitsros, May 7.--In the forthsoming Republi.
can Congressional caucus, a Southern Senator intends
to propose a policy to be incorporated into a law for
the better protection of the colored people of the South
and to secure the enforcement of the fifteenth amend
meat in the North. This will take something of the
shape of a bill proposed by Pool, of North Carolina,
and which will declare that all citizens of the United
States shall have in the several States all the privileges
and immunities of life, liberty and property. It will
declare it to be unlawful for persons to combine or
conspire to violate or hinder or impede any of the
rights to be secured by this act, one of which is to
prevent the discharge from employment of any person
with the intent to restrain his focre and complete exer
cise of the elective franchise. Another feature of this
paoposed legislation is to authorize the President to
employ the land and naval forces of the militia to pre.
serve the peace in any State.
THt: DEtMocarTIc PARTY.-To those small minded
men who would permit narrow prejudice, at such an
epoch as this-an epoch pregnant with the fate of the
South-to prompt a refusal to coiperate with the
Democratic party, we would commend the following,
from the Courier-Journal, the controllers of which
were old-line Whigs of the deepest dye :
The Democratic party of to-day, as compared with
the past, is a perfectly distinct organization. It em
braces no element of the old-line Democracy that may
not be acquiesced in by the sturdiest old-line Whig.
The measures that produced the conflicts of the past
were either decided long ago, or else they have disap
peared from the minds of men. A wholly different
series of issues have come upon the country, and re
cognizing certain exigences of the present, it is the
mission of the Democratic party to address to them.
But for this it could not combine, as it does, many of
the best materials of all parties. But for this It could
not represent, as it seeks to do, the conservatism of
the whole country, which is simply a consolidation of
all peaceful elements against the warlike spirit of a
still'f5iogressing, revolutionary and licentious :raving
for agitation and change.
I How HAVE WE FALLEN !-That we of the South
d have been subjugated, whipped, crushed, beat down
• ! into the dirt, is matter of history. That our magnani
mous conquerors have spared no pains to injure and
humiliate us, is equally a truth. But how have we
fallen, when our conduct gives occasion for the follow

We have the best authority forstating that the Cuban

1. Annual dividends. In 1870, all policies issued pre
viously tbereto will be entitled to a dividend on renew
al. This admirable feature will relieve the insured from
the payment of the annually increasing interest on the
loan notes.
2. Dividends can be used to keep policies in force or
to reduce future premiums.
3. Endowment policies are payable in five, ten, fif
teen, twenty, twenty-five thirty and thirty-five years
from date of insurance, and are non-forfeitable for
amounts proportionate to the number of years they
have run.
4. All mutual policies, including ordinary life endow
ment, are non-forfeiting by the terms thereof.
This sound and stable company has a permanently
established agency in our city, under the management
of Ro. T. Buckner, who has issued policies upon the
lives of a large number of our citizens.
