" WOmI AND THEI UfSBm."
SX A MYSTIFIED QUAEER.
Reepeeted Wife : From these few lines my
whereabouts thee'l leoarn-
Moreover, I impart to thee my serious con
Thl lan ge of this people is a riddle unto
Andm words, with them, are figments of a
reckless mockery!
For instanoe: As I left theoears, an imp with
smutty face, ~
Said "hine" "lay, I'll not shine," I said,
".exept with tnward gram I' ..
Isnwar grace' a liquid or a paste?" asked
H D ~d4 l hat ' 'inward grace?' How
does ph old thing work"
"Friend," said I to a Jehu, whose breath sug
gested gin,
"Can thee convey me straightway to a repu
table inn?"
Sie answer's gross irrelevance I shall:not soon
Insteador simply yea or nay, he gruffly said
"You bet '
I"Nay, nay I shall not bet," said I, "for that
would be a sin
Why don't thee answer plainly: Can thee take
me to an inn?
The vehicle is doubtless meant to carry folks
about in
Then why Drevaricate?" Said he, perversely,
"Now yer shoutin' !"
"Nay, verily, I shouted not!" quoth I, "my
speech is mild;
But thine-I grieve to say it-with falselyHxl
is defiled.
Thee ought to be adm6nished to rid thy heart
of guile."
"Bee here! my lively moke," said he, "you
sling on too much style I"
"I've had these plain drab garments twenty
years and more," said I
"And when thee says I 'sling on style,' thee
tells a willful lie!"
At that he pranced around as if "a bee were
in his bonnet,"
And with hostile demonstrations, 4nquired if
I was "on It1"
"On what? Till thee explains thyself, I can
not tell," I said.
He swore that something was "too thin;"
moreover it was "played I"
But all his jargon was surpassed, In wild ab
surdity,
By threats, profanely emphasized, "to put a
head on" me!
"No son of Bellal," I said, "that miracle can
do!"
Whereat he fell upon me with blows and
curses, too,
But failed to work that miracle-if such was
his design
Instead of putting on a head, he strove to
smite off mine!
Thee knows I cultivate the peaceful habit of
our sect,
But this man's conduct wrought on me a sin
gular effect;
For when he slapped ny broad-brim of, and
asked, "How's that for high?"
It roused the Adam In me, and I smote him
hip and thigh !
The throng then gave a specimen of calumny
broke loose
And said I'd "snatched him bald-headed,"
and likewise "cooked his goose;"
Although, I solemnly affirm, I did not pull
his hair,
Nor did I cook his poultry-for he had no
poultry there!
They called me "Bully boy I" although I've
seen nigh three-score year;
They said that I was "lightning" when i got
up on my ear l"
And when I asked if lightning climbed its
ear or dressed in drab,
"You know how 'tis yourself !" said one in
consequential blab I!
Thee can conceive that, by this time, I was
somewhat perplexed;
'Yea, the placid spirit in me has seldombeen
so vexed;
I tarried there no longer, for plain-spoken
men-like me
With such perverters of our tongue, can have
no unityy.

ITHE RETfURWIl BOARD, INDICTMENTS
The Wonderful Stories Afloat ';i Wash
InlCton Circles.
[(inoinnsti Bnquirer.]
Hayes still endeavors to impress the
oorrespondents of the hurdy-gurdles
with the idea that he is not at all con
cerned about the indictments of the
Louisiana Rdturping Board, and that
he has spoken to no one on the subject
of their escape from prosecution. To
offset this alleged fact, it is positively
known that Pitkin had not been in
Washington over two hours on Sunday
morning last before he received a mes
sage from the White House inviting him
to call and see the President. Pitkin
declined the invitation, and has not
gone near the President, nor will he.
He left here to-night for New Orleans,
and proposes to take a hand in vigor
ously pressing the prosecutions. The
latest advices received from New
Orleans are to the effect that the
prosecutions are to go on to the end,
and it may be safely assumed that the
secret history of the manipulations of
the electoral vote of Louisiana will be
brought to light. Although the two
colored members of the board have
been included in the suit, it is well un
derstood that there is no desirb to
punish them for wrongs in which they
were no more than passive accomplices,
and it is thought an opportunity may
be offered them to turn State's evidence.
When the evidence that the Electoral
Commission would not receive is given
to the world, it will- inevitably produce
a sensation. It is very likel. that, as
has been stated, proof that Tilden car
ried Louisiana will not invalidate the
title of President Hayes. This is the
legal aspect of the case; but it is the
moral features that cause apprehension
just now to close friends of the Presi
dent.
There have been various rumors cir
culating of late in regard to the man
ner in which the Presidential Electors
of Louisiana cast theif vote. Judge
Levissee, it has been charged, did not
sign the certificate. He denies this re
port. It was, however, asserted to-day
most positively, by one who claims to
*be familiar with the whole proceedings,
that two of the Electors voted blank on
that occasion, and that their names
were forged. He says that Packard
was acquainted with this fact, and
that H. Conquest Clarke, Private
Secretary of Kellogg, will have
to testify to it under oath. He declines
to gve the two names, but predicts that
the fact will be developed in the present
rosecution. In reference to the al
ged proceedings against Sherman and
others of the visiting statesmen, it is
asserted that when the Supervisor of
Registration for the parish ot East Fell
ciana was asked about the amount of
bulldozing done by the Democrats he
replied that he did not believe over ffty
or seventy-five negroes had been intimi
dated in the whole parish. To be on
the safe side, the Republican authori
ties fixed the number at eighty, and
this the supervisor signed. When he
next saw the paper he observed that the
number had bean raised to 1800, and it
is claimed there are parties ready to
testify that Sherman was a knowing
witness of this forgery.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.
Iberville certainly has a model police
jury. The South publishes the proceed
Ings of the June meeting, by which t
appears that the offices of constable
and parish treasurer were abolished,
the sheriff doing duty for the former at
a salary, and the clerk being also the
treasurer receiving a small salary (no
fees) for performing the duties of
both offices. The criminal fund
puzzle was unraveled and one blow
out the gordian knot in which
the receipts of all parishes are tied up
and nothing left for school, road or any
other purposes of improvement. In
Iberville no officer receives fees. The
sheriff, clerk of the court, all the jus
tices and constables receive small sal
aries, and no matter how many cases
are tried the compensation is not in
creased. The sheriff receives six hun
dred and the clerk four hundred dollars,
the justices average forty dollars and
the constables about sixty-five dollars
per annum. The sheriff receives also
three bits per diem for boarding each
prisoner.-[Baton Rouge Advocate.
It has been the special desire of the
largest part of the intelligent and prop
erty holding classes of this State for a
Constitutional Convention. This desire
was a silent factor in the ladt campaign
and a great incentive to the energy and
activity which conducted it to a success
ful issue. The defects of the present
constitution, framed under the auspices
of carpet-bagism and the most illiterate
element of the State, may be satisfac
tory to some of our people, but it can
never satisfy the bulk of them. It is,
in fact, not the constitution of the
peoole of the State, because at
the time more than fifteen thousand
of the best citizens of the State
were disfranchized by virtue of
what the Federal government termed
a rebellion. Whatever may be the vir
tues of the constitution of.1868, if they
are of the most brilliant qualities this
fact alone in the minds of all fair
minded men should of itself alone de
mand that the entire voice of the people
of the State should be consulted in the
formation of a constitution or funda
mental law. If we desire the memories
of the revolution to be obliterated from
our future history, we should remove all
sneering indidental allusion to the fact
from the fundamental law of the land.
It is a stain upon the memory of our
dead as well as upon our honored living,
who will in time be numbered with the
dead to allow the sniveling and satiri
cal blot to remain engrafted in the con
stitution of the State.-[Mansfield Re
porter.
The effect of white labor is seen to ex
cellent advantage in the size of the
cotton crops of late years. Some ne
grophilists have argued that the negro
works better in a state of freedom than
in a state of slavery, and, in confirma
tion of this theory, point to the fact that
there is not only no diminution, but an
actual increase in the amount of cotton
produced now over that produced
when slavery flourished. Even the
least observant who should
go through the large plan
tations in the far Southern States,
and observe the efficient labor of the
men and the almost total abstinence
from labor of the women who are fond
of playing "the white lady," would
soon discover that there is something
wrong in the induction of those who
reason in this manner. Let any ordi
nary planter take the statistics of his
plantation now and compare them with
slavery times, when the same number
of hands were at work, and he will soon
see how much less cotton is produced
by free negroes than by the same peo
pie when they were in a state of slavery.
The trth is that the increase in the
production of cotton is caused by white
labor. The war left the white peopl of
the South in a state of almost abject
poverty. They had to betake them
selves to labor or starve. Those who
had land worked it with their own
hands. Thousands of little farms
throughout the uplands, which had
never before received a cotton seed, were
planted in cotton, their owners being
stimulated thereto by the high price of
cotton which they obtained immediately
after the war. Each small farmer raised
his one, five or ten bales, as the case
may be. Hence it is that while the
amount of cotton raised on the large
plantations was diminished, the general
crop was augmented by the increase of
acreage in the hands of small proprie
tors.-[Shreveport Times.
The bayous and bays in the rear of
Pointe-a-la-Hache, until quite recently,
teemed with the finest red and other
salt-water fish in the most profuse
abundance; but since the advent of
gangs of Spanish fishermen from St.
Bernard, who use immense seines and
capture vast quantities of fish therein,
our fishing grounds offer no attraction
to citizens who are permanent residents
here, and who fish in.the ordinary man
ner with hook and line for their own
consumption. Most of our fellow-citi
zens love to fish and find it both
pleasant and profitable, and some of
them fish exclusively for a living, and
think it very hard and unjust that
strangers should be allowed to come here
and by a somewhat unfair, murderous
and exhaustive process strip and rob
our bayous and bays of their scaly
wealth, which rightfully belongs to the
citizens who live in its immediate
vicinity, and who only, capture it in a
manner that leaves it always abundant
andvirtually intact, whilst the strangers
referred to, with seines of immense ca
pacity, throw away, waste and kill half
they capture to enhance the 'ylue of
the remainder, which they sell at exor
bitant prices along the coast, for money
which they spend in another pariash;
thus not only robbing us of our prop
erty, but depleting the country of the
cash it so sorely needs. We trust our
police jury will attend to this matter,
avohg fulljurisdiction in the premises,
and make these Spaniards, who are
depredating on our property and privi
leges, pay a license which will be tanta
mount to a prohibition.--[Plaquemines
Observer.
Farmers throughout this parish are
awakening to the fact thatsheep raising
is one of the most profitable branches
of their business. But many are de
terred from embarking in it, because of
the swarms of worthless curs that roam
at will over the parish and frequently
destroy sheep. Within this week some
of our most enlightened and en
ergetic farmers have 'told us that
they would turn their attention to
sheep raising on a more extensive
scale were it not for this pest. As it is,
they say, it is impossible to protect the
sheep from dogs. Searcely a week passes
but we have complaints of sheep being
killed by dogs. Will not our farmers
take this matter into their own hands,
and, if th law will not protect them,
find s~o to rotect themselves?
I Till th fourths of the ours are exter
munated, and the other fourth taught.
that they must not molest sheep, the
farmer cannot safely invest his capital
in this most profitable and pleasant of
all the branches of his business.
Instead of our Legislature enacting
laws for the protection of dogs, it should
impose a heavy tax on them afl, except
sheep and stock dogs, and make it the
duty, under penalty of all officers of
the law to destroy those on which the
tax is not paid.
It is full time that some action be
taken in this matter.
The hill parishes of North Louisiana
are well adapted to sheep, which could
be made the source of immense wealth
were their owners secure against the
depredations of dogs. But so long as
this destroying canine army is left un
molested to prey upon the sheep, so
long will this mine of wealth remain
undeveloped.-[Columbia Herald.
SGeorgia Is to have a constitutional convention
and a constitution framed in the interests and
for the protection of her people. That is what
Louisiana very much needs.-[New Orleans
DxmocarrT.
The idea of such a convention for this
State is one which is rapidly taking po8
session of the public mind. The great
marvel is, that the question of holding
such a convention has not before this
assumed greater significance than it has,
and particularly in the public utter
ances of the press. Even the New
Orleans DEMOCRAT, which is always
able and outspoken, and leads rather
than falls in with the current of opin
ing, while advocating the measure,
touches the subject apparently in a
gingerly way. But it need indulge in
no misgivings; the ground it breaks is
patriotic ground. A constitutional con
vention in this State has become a para
mount necessity, and the public are
awakening to the fact.
On all sides complaints are heard
which, without raising it, go to the very
marrow of this question. It is said, for
example, that while the Legislature has
cut down the salaries and perquisites of
the ininor offices, the greater ones have
been left untouched. People inquire as
to the origin of this discrimination, and
ask is this the idea iniplied by reform ?
And when they are told that this is a
matter beyond the power or competence
of the Legislature, but is one of those
things that can only be reached by the
people in convention, they ask why such
convention is not called. And these
people, representing the tar-pa)ing
class, mean just what they say.
They are determined the burdens
of government shall be lightened.
Another class, and by far the more
thoughtful, casting aside the economic,
take a broader and more catholic view
of the question. They see in the un
bridled power and license of the Legis
lature the parent source of all-our past
troubles. As long as the present Legis
lature continues to exist they feel safe
because of their confidence in the integ
rity and conservatism of a majority of
this body. But they are sensible this
is a reliance it will not always do to de
pend on. Another election might place
| them under the iron heel of such a Leg
I slature as that from which they have
just escaped, which they feel would be
far worse to them than moral death.
These people feel that it will never do
to entrust their liberties to the law
making power any further than may be
absolutely ! necessary for purposes of
public order and the common good.
They saw with their own eyes Legisla
ture after Legislature crushihg out the
most vital rights of the citizen, and they
saw subservient courts carryihg out the
behests of these corrupt and irrespon
sible bodies. They are heartily tired of
license, and demand that the law-mak
ing power be placed under increased
subjection and control. And this re
straining authority they know can only
be had through a convention by a mod
iflcation of the organic law more clear
ly defining and narrowing legislative
power.
Tim press may remain silent, but these
ideaa are quietly germinating in the
popular mind, and will soon find utter
ance. Certainly there is a feeling of
strong anxiety among thinking men
with regard to the future. They see
possibilities and embatraisments ahead,
much like the troubles from which we
have only so recently been delivered,
and they feel it a duty to provide against
their possible repetition as far as human
foresight can do so. In this patriotic
work we are willing to join hands with
them. We believe that the remedy, if
it exists anywhere, is to be found in a
convention of the people. We say, then,
let "us imitate the example of Georgia,
the most conservative and progressive
of Southern States, and .frame a consti
tution "in the interests and for the pro
tection of the people." By all means
let us have the convention.-[Nlansfield
Bulletin.
Our prediction, often made, months
and years ago, that as soon as our polit
ical troubles were settled, Louisiana
would receive her full share of immigra
tion, and thus be permanently redeemed
from political and financial ruin, is
about being verified. Almost every
mail brings us letters of inqury from
persons in distant countries who desire
to come to Louisiana to locate, and we
shall hereafter always answer such epis
tles, either privately or through the
columns of our paper for the informa
tion of all. As samples, before us lie
two letters of this class, to which we
now reply.
Just such men as our first correspond
ent are in demand on almost every sugar
plantation in the State. A mechanic
who can thus make himself generally
useful would always be given the prefer
ence. He could make a small crop,
also, under the advice of the planter, on
shares, and, by industry and economy,
soon acquire means enough to purchase
a small place of his own. Take our ad
vice-come to Louisiana without delay,
apply to any large and intelligent
planter, and you will secure just what
you want.
Price of cane in the field varies ac
cording to proximity to the sugar-mill.
Small cultivators, having no sugar
houses, can always readily sell their
crops to the nearest sugar planter at
from $40 to $75 an acre, according to
"stand" of the crop. However, a new
and more just system of purchasing
cane is being introduced by the ton. As
some large planters, having idle en
closed lands, are giving the use of the
same and furnishing houses to tenants,
who raise cane for them at $3 per ton.
we presume it should be worth $4 per
ton when grown elsewhere. Here is a
great field for agriculturists, for the
tendency now is to make sugar manu
facture and cane culture distinct.
Wages usually paid in the sugar mak
ing season is $1 per day and fifty cents
a watch-or one-half of the night. All
hands are expected to work eighteen
hours a day during the "rolling" or
sugar making season. When the immi
grant arrives, however, we would advise
that he seek to work on shares or on
the tenant system instead of by the
month. Few planters are properly sit
uated to hire by the month, and the
other tnode of working is more profit
able and suits the whites better.
As to our correspondent's query, can
a man without capital make any clear
money working on sugar plantations?
we again say, yes-more money than
with any other crop or in any other
country. A knowledge of cane Culture
is easily gained;. the crop is worked
much like corn, and is usually "laid
by" or cultivation finished before
the hottest weather, when
those with mechanical knowledge,
like these two gentlemen, can get
work making repairs about the sugar
house and the others in the woods cut
ting fuel. Come on, then-come by
thouaands-for we have millions of acres
of the richest land in the world that
awaits you, and a climate most health
ful and pleasant will render your homes
here all that you could wish. Colonies
should organize and those who have a
little means could unite and purchase
large places and divide in tracts to suit.
