For Congress, Third Congressional District : EDWARD J. GAY, Of Iberville. .1/7,'. GAT ACCEPTS. In another column of this issue will be found Mr. Gay's acceptance of the flattering nomination tendered him by the Democracy of the Third Congres sional District at the recent New Iberia convention. It is worth the perusal of every voter of the district. It is a simple and unpretentious document, but thoroughly Democratic and in stinct with a spirit of true patriotism —just such a letter as those who know and understand the Democratic sim plicity of the author and his devotion to the cause of his people, expected to ■ee. When Mr. Gay first expressed a wish to retire from public life, the Sentinel, feeling that the Democracy could not. at this time dispense with his valuable services, did, in conjunc tion with other influential journals of this district, counsel and urge his unanimous renomiimtion in the face of his declination. It felt that Mr. Gay's patriotism and devotion would not fail the people, but induce him, however unwilling, once more to as sume, for the public welfare, the oner ous burden of a standard bearer. The Sentinel was not mistaken in its estimate of our worthy Representa tive. He has once more yielded grace fully to the wishes of his constituents at the sacrifice of his own inclination and personal comforts. ''My personal preferences and the condition of my health,'' says lie. "led me to desire to be allowed to retire : but these are troublous times when no lover of his country can well hold back his mite of influence. I accept your nomination because there is mnej to be done, and 1 am willing to try to do my part." These words have a patriotic ring about them which ought to and no doubt will, strike a sympathetic chord in the hearts of the author's many constitu ents, and spur them on to action. Everybody must be "willing to try to do his part.*' In that lies the true se cret of success. Our head devil has whispered into ©ur ear the suggestion that there ought to be plenty of fun for the boys with a *'Gay and Jolly" campaign on hand. The Republican Executive Commit tee of the Third Congressional Dis trict met in New Orleans during the week and nominated Mr. J. R. Jolly, editor of the Morgan City Review, as their candidate for Congress. Mr. Jolly is an agreeable gentlemen, who is Jolly by nature as well as by name. He has an exquisite sense of humor and will no doubt relish the barren compliment paid him by his party as a "Jolly good joke."' Mr. Joseph 1\ Poehe, son -of Justice F. P. Pochc, has been appointed by Mr. George W. Dupre, Clerk of the Supreme Court at New Orleans, as his deputy, and duly sworn in by Chief Justice Bermudez. The young gentle man has recently graduated w ith high honors in the law department of Tu lane University. The many friends of Judge Pochc living in this parish will be glad to learn of the success of his worthy son. At the meeting of the Republican Executive Committee of the Third Congressional District, Chairman Cage, in explaining why the committee met in New Orleans, said: "The committee was called to meet in New Orleans, which is out of the district, because of transportation fa cilities, it being easier for all the mem bers to assemble in this city than at any point in the district. "The meeting," continued the chair man, "could have beeu held in 'the district without any trouble, and the report which has been circulated that election tickets cannot be distributed or meetings held in the district is untrue." Messrs. Sullivan of Ascension, Ro chan of St. Martin and Smith of St. Mary agreed with Mr. Cage in his dis claimer of the report that had been circulated. In our horticultural supplement this week we give the variet : es of fruit trees grown by T. Jay Lacy at bis Mount Hope nursery at Washington, La. Mr. Lacy has had thirty years' experi ence w ith fruits and fruit trees in Lou isiana, and he not only grows fruit trees, but grows fruits largely for mar ket, which is conclusive evidence that his trees suit this climate. He has also written a book on "Fruit Culture" for the Gulf States south of latitude 32 degrees, which gives plain direc tions for planting and cultivating trees. He sends catalogues of orna ineutal shrubs aud roses free to all ap plicants. Kepnblieanlzing Louisiana. For a long time there has been a sort of undercurrent in certain quar ters, which tended to an indefinite idea that Louisiana's interests could he subserved ny allegiance to the principles of the Republican party. It has beeu argued that the division in political thought here was not on ac count of the real principles of the two parties, but that no true Louisianian could espouse the Republican cause on account of the follow ing of that party in the State, and the inevitable re sults of its supremacy in Africanizing the State. The credulity of tlie sugar planter lias been, to a great extent, played tip on by the idea that the Republicans, from principle, would protect them, and that the doctrine of their party would improve tlie Mississippi river and defend them from overflow. A considerable number, blinded by these thoughts and led on by the usual army always ready to revolutionize for the benefit of eventual spoils, have at least permitted the thought to enter their minds that it would be wise to Republicanize tlie State. Recent de velopments, however, have diselosi d tlie fact, that our Northern Republican brethren despise the negro, except in so far as he is capable of assisting them with his vote, and that their pol icy is to protect Northern interests and favor Northern internal improve ments. The late tariff bill, w liich re presents tlie erystalized thought of the Republican party, reduces the surplus by .'f7.">.000,0(H) and calls upon one item, sugar, to share more than one-third of that reduction. The shadow- "bounty" is too empty and ridiculous to be i followed by the merest child and can not catch the enlightened planter. The present House of Reprcsenta j tives, largely Democratic, appropriated ! the greatest amount for tlie improve i incut of tlie Mississippi river ever be j tore appropriated for this or any other I purpose, and a Democratic President I permitted this bill to become a law. The principles of Democracy have | long been espoused by every Southern State, and we are not willing even to | tear that a time will come when our ! people w ill he so blinded as to follow the Republican colors. Whatever I may be the action of other States, we trust and believe that Louisiana will j be the last to forsake the banner of l true Democracy.—Baton Rouge Jhiihi Ailroeatc.

Call for samples of Anti Asthmatic at t> ur druggist The mother of John Quincy Adams said in a letter to him written when he was only ten years old: "I would rather see you laid iu your grave than to grow up a profane and graceless boy." Not long before the death of Mr. Adams a gentleman said to him: "I have found out who made you." "What do you mean?" asked Mr. Adams. The gentleman replied, "I have been reading the published letters of your mother " "If," this gentleman remaiks, "I had spoken that dear name to some little hoy who had been for weeks away from bis mother, his eyes could not have flashed more brightly <>v his face glowed more quickly tlimi did the eyes of that venerable old man when I pronounced the name of his mother. He stood up in his peculiar manner aud said : "Yes, sir; all tiiat is good in me I owe to my mother."— Kw. Reducing the Surplus. The disposition of the Surplus in the U. 8. Treasury engages the attention of our Statesmen, but a more vital question lias our attention, and that is tlie reduction of the Surplus Consump tives. Since the discovery aud intro duction of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, there has been a marked decrease in tlie mortality from this dreaded disease, and it is possible to still further reduce the number of Consumptives. How ? By keeping constantly at band a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery aud using ac cording to directions, upon the appear ance of tlie tirst symptoms, such as a Cough, a Cold, a Sore Throat, a Chest, or Side Pain. Taken thus early a cure is guaranteed. Trial bottles free at Thibodaux Ding Store. New Oki.kans, La , March 6th, 1888. Mr. F. Gouanx, Houma, La.
