Taoday two weeks is the time for the

all things let us lay aside sectiohal

Our Ward Convention.
Last Saturday, August 19th, r,ur
W1ard convention as.(embled at the
). C(,urthouse about 11 o'clock. They
ol(Pned the roll of membership of the
itur. liemocratic Conservative Club, and
Sher in a few minutes there were some 5;
or 80 names registered, among \% h1oml
"A, t"ere several colored men. Evervthing
. movted on smoothly, P. II. 'l'uler
acting as temporary Chairman. After
ET. the signing of the club, is. :. M1cle
nmore was chosen President of the
Convention, after taking his seat, a
move was made to proceed to elect
dehlgates by ballot, the first ten re
reiving the highest number e f votes
to be declared the delegates of the
convention. Carried.
After the vote was counted and the
= delegaites declared elected the conven
tion adjourned.
We never witnessed a more harmno
nlOls meeting and the delegates lrer
selected with a view of getting the
expression of the entire ward, being:
taken from different parts of the ward,
and one who mieaus to act upon the
square will not object to the selection.
, fact eWard No. 8 acted out the let
ter of the instructions of theExecutive
C'omattit'ee.
Levees.
I, The fullowing questions have been '
hantded us for publication and we
would be pleased if some one nlore
conversant with the can:;e would give
s anu an nswer :
"1. The people of our overflowed
lands would like to be informed
through tile h:,'o. why so much
more water comies over our lands of
late years than formerly ?
2 Through what brake in the levee
does it cole ?
3. Is there any hope that something
will be done to keep it out in the
future?
IVe have been itnformed that the
ends of the Opossom Fork Levee
have been washed away and that there
is a large body of water that runs
around the ends during the overflow,
that the levee proper is still up.
Another solution why this country
T. overflows worse than before the levees
were put up is that the levees below
on the lissississippi remained up and
thus confining the water there, the*
effect of which is to run it over the
country which is unprotected.
We regret very much to see so
much feeling of discontent among our
people. Not the people generally, for
the majority seem to have taken sonic
interest in the Ward conventions and
wherever the delegates were elected
they will undoubtedly reflect the sen-,
timent of the neighborhood where
they came from.
At Alto the meeting was very,
Farge. The question came up as to
whether they should express a preffer-
ence for candidates. It was put to a
vote. The negatives getting about 29
votes and the affirmative over GO. In
thus participatiug they all committed
tlhemselves to the result.. All but a
few submitted and we learn that eight
out the ten delegates voted with the
minority. We would not mention
this only for the reason that the matter
i will be discussed and perihap an ero
of neous inmpression get out as to the
lace true state of the case.
A Misunderstanding.
e It is reported that a statement was
to, made at Alto on Sattwurdey the 19th
the upon our authority that Capt. 11 P.
Wich ells was not a candidate for Ilepre.j
6, sentative of this pariah. We have no
recollection of ever saying whetler
he was or was not a candidate. We
sBy,regret that, so much is beaing said
Me- in a matter so easy understood. Let
Lou. them announce themselves in the
the BlAcoN, if they are ean.:idates. It
teis stated that Ward No. 1 endorsed I
ee Capt. Wells for Representative and he
ie is well known to the people of Rich I
,lad. In fact all the men we hear of I
a that will likely go before the conven- I
ay- tion for that office are nmeu who stsand
and high in the estimnation of our people.

was cal3ed to order athoo:t I p. ft., J.
Floyd King, Esq , of ('oncordia, in

squablc over the report of the Coin
littee on Credentials; but this through
iMutnal concessions, was finally set

ized with Mr. King retained in the
Chair. There followed considerable
: disenusion on the basis of repr'sen

that it should le basled upnl the vote
of Spenceltir for C4',ngress: others, upon
the vote in the Stuite ticket of 1874.

Capt. W. W. VFarmer, of Ouachita,
was next nomina:ed by Mr. Taylor ofi

Farrar, of Madison, amidst great
applause.
The rare was close, but the first
ballot deric ed the contest. The vote
stood, -2ult fir Farnmer and 18t for
Brigtharm, the total being 39.
Capt. Farmer was sent for and
soon appeared, amid grt at shouting,
sandrtairessed ithe ('onventi ot. The
hest arid most telling speech made,
however, was the addrtess of Capt.
Brirlham to the Convention after his
def,.iat It was rguaniois, full of
charity, andeld dlivred in a spirit of
e arnestness that was utagnetie.
Capt. Farmer is an ale man-one

a mian of rare ability, withl a mrind

capacity to grajiple with any suiject.
He is a splendid talker, of fini addres,
and unsurpassed s a speaker, Hlis
greatest forte is the wonderful clear.

r The meeting held here on last Sat
urday for election of delegates
'I to the Parish Nominating Convention, i
, wa., the largest that has been assem
c bled in thile illcesince 1 2. Every
, portion of the ward was replresented. i
t. Four-fifths of those in attendance were I
5 from the country. llarmony and
f:unity of purpose prev'ailed through- .
if out. 'l'he delegates selected are men ,
of intelligence, and representative men,
e with whom the interests of the Parish
! will be safe. \While our meeting cx
o presseld by a vote their preference for (;
s dif.rent candidates, yet, they by rcso- :
i lution, refused to positively instruct ,
e their delegates for whom to vote, li
t. leavi:ng the matter to their discretion
anti honest v.
S Tie choice of this \Ward for Ilepre-.
sentative was Capt. II. P', \\'ells, a I
, gentle:man well known for his high i
I legal attainments, and his great moral ,i
Sworth. Since his name has been "
: placed in nomination, Mr. Editor, it ,
s has been suggested that our sister ,
. War(lds will not accord to us the lItep:- ,
resentative, no uatter how suitable "
may be our candidate, for fear his ,
ability may be used to divide the.,
Parish, and to create a new Parish ,
with DI)elhi as the site. I assure you
and the good people of Ilichland that "
such fears are grounrdless. The mat- I
ter of a new Parish has been thor- c
oughly discussed and discarded from g.{
sour own minids. To-day, if without C
an effort, a new Parish, with D)elhi as
site, was tendered us, it would be
I, rejected by the masses of our own
citizens, and particularly by the busi
Sness men of the Ward. We could
s not, with the sparse population em
Sbraced in the territory proposed for "
.a Parish, bear the taxation required
to erect public buildings. If neces
sary, I know that Capt. Wells will
give his assurance to my assertions.
I write this, Mr. Editor, not to detract
from any gefatleman now before the
apeople for this position, but to have t,
Sjustice done to our Ward-a Ward ki
a that according to its voting population, ii
s is, and has always been, the banner II
f Democratic WVard of the Parish; and i
I'that our choice for Represenutative
a may go before the Conventien with
I out any false prejudices against hintm.
S I hope, Mr. Editor, that harmony
a will prevail in our Convention, that h
I oar delegates from every Ward willi .i
i be governed by a zeal for the public , i,
- good, and not for favorites for office. ·i
Let them give us good, honest, and it
competent candidates for every office,
and it will add hundreds of votes to
the tate ticket in this Parish. To
place in nomwiation an opposite cluas,.i
will slurcl detract from our strength.
ie fur many will judge of the State.
