—Nothing can intimidate me from doing what
I believe to be honest and right— ! W infiéli » S.
H ancock.
The health of Opelousas and surround
ing country was never knowu to be
better than it is at this season of the
year. With good crops, and good busi
ness, everything will brighten up cousi
erably.
Postponed .—The tournament which
was to take place last Thursday, July
29th, has been postponed on account of
unfavorable weather until next Tuesday,
August 3d. Invitations for ball good
for that day.
—The great, principles of American liberty
fitill are the lawful inheritance of this people and
ever should be.—[ W infield Scott H ancock.
Cotton-picking has commenced in
real earnest on several plantations on
the Ouachita aud lied ltivers. There is
no sign of anything of the kind in this
section, though this is measurably ac
counted for by the abominable spell of
wet weather we have experienced for
the last six weeks or more.
—Power may destroy the forms but not the
principles of justice. These will live in spite
even of thesword.—[ Wjnfield Scott Hancock.
We have had some decided improve
ment in the weather since our last issue.
It used to be one shower per day, but
bow we have as many as three or four
drenching ones each day. Either the
ilood gates of heaven are badly swung,
or the clerk of the weather is on a reg
ular "boom."
Judging from the tone of rampant
Republican organs throughout the coun
try—North, East and West—one would
suppose that the soldier element was
composed mainly of Republicans. It
turns out, however, that the Hancock
soldier clubs have at least one-third
more members than the Garlield clubs.
But this is not all. New and influential
converts from the Republican party are
constantly Hocking over to the support
of the Democratic presidential ticket,
and if this thing goes on up to the time
of the election, at anything approxima
ting the same rate it has been going on
since the nominations have been made,
but lew, if any, States at all will go for
Garfield and Arthur.
Immigrants from Central Mssis
SlPPi.— A party of seven gentlemen
all practical farmers—arrived here a few
days ago from Kosciusco, Attala county,
Miss., for the purpose of examining our
country, with a view of purchasing
lauds and locating among us. They
represent to us that several more of
their friends contemplate doing the
sam^thing shortly. We hope our peo
ple will extend to them every courtesy
and aid they may require, and inform
them where they can find the best lands
aud healthiest localities. Their names
aie: R. B. Webb; R. G. McAffee and
sou; Emmit Kelly ; W. F. Suddeth ; Van
Shelley; Sam. Miller.
—The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus,
the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech,
the natural rights of persons and the right.**, of
property must be preserved.—[ W infield S cott
llàNCOCK.
The Williamsport (Penn.) Banner ob
serves that it is peculiarly unfortunate
that leading Republican papers so far
forget their fealty to the party as to
express the truth concerning the crimi
nal acts of Gen. Garfield, acts that all
the whitewashing of partisan workers
on the press, rostrum or iu private con
versation cannot expunge. A promi
nent fact worthy of especial considera
tion is this, that all the charges against
Garfield emanate from Republican
sources, and they remain as yet, and
■will likely remain to the end, undenied
and uncontradicted. This accounts for
the vast number of desertions from the
Republican side. Honest Republicans
are wheeling out of their old party ranks,
aud are coming over to Hancock, not
because they have lost faith in the
rectitude of their political convictions,
but because they cannot and will not
support a man whom they know to be
tainted with criminality.
—The true and proj>er use of the military
power, besides defending the national honor
against foreign nations, is to uphold the laws
and civil government and to secure to every
person residing among us the enjoyment of life,

VOL. III.
OPELOUSAS, LA., SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1880.
NUMBER m
The Railroad.
In another column we print a very
interesting article from the New Or
leans Picayune touching the progress
and extension of the Morgan road from
Vermiliouville onward to Opelousas
and Alexandria. The main facts em
bodied in the Picayune's statement come
directly from Mr. Pandely, the manag
ing magnet of this branch of the road,
and may be relied upon as correct in
every particular.
In this connection we will impart to
our readers the additional information
that a construction train reached Darby's
Wednesday evening—a point directly
abreast of Grand Coteau— and that one
of our prominent citizens has been in
formed by the contractor that the
lîayou Bourbeux (8 miles from Opelou
sas) will be reached by Saturday (to
day.) Notwithstanding the continuous
and incessant rains we have experienced
for the past fortnight, the work has
been steadily progressing at the rate of
three-quarters of a mile per day. This
fact removes all doubt of its completion
to this place in a shorter time than that
specified in the contract. Let us all
rejoice.
A Press Convention.
Several of our country exchanges in
this State are urging the propriety of
holding a press convention at some
early day not yet definitely fixed upon,
but do not specify their reason for such
a convention. For our part we would
gladly join in the movement, if we
thought that any good would result
therefrom. What is expected to be
accomplished Is it for the purposo of
coming to a mutual understanding in
regard to the price of subscription, ad
vertising, job work, etc ? If so, we are
heartily with them ; if not, we are op
posed to anything of the kind.
Many years ago we attended what is
called " a press convention," under the
assurance that the same would result
beneficially to publishers and proprie
tors of newspapers throughout the State.
We were terribly disappointed. Not the
first thiug was done in that direction.
There was a large attendance of mem
bers of the press, but all their delibera
tions aud pow-wows ended in smoke.
Ifauything, the printing business lias
been in a state of decadence ever since,
and growing from bad to worse. Out
of about MX) country printing offices in
the State, no .two of them charge the
same price for the same kind of labor,
whilst their expenses are nearly about
the same. One office will charge §1.50
a square for advertisements, another
one-half that price, and some other
even so low as one-third or fifty cents a
square! The same may be said of job
work. Now, if the object is to estab
lish a uniform scale of prices, and a
resolution adopted to shoot the first
publisher who departs therefrom, we
promise to go into the thiug cheerfully
aud cordially ; otherwise, couut us out.
The Forty Day Fast .—Dr. Tanner
has entered upon the thirtieth day of
his unnatural fast. Up to this time be
has lost 27* pounds in weight and six
inches in height. Should he be success
ful in holding out the full forty days, it
is said he will come out an entirely differ
ent looking man and will have to get his
name changed, as not one of his old
friends will b' 1 able to recognize in him
the Dr. Tanner of old.
Col. Forney, of Pennsylvania, a very
high authority, states that his informa.
tion assures him that thousands and
tens of thousands of Union-loving sol'
diers that heretofore supported Repub
licans for office, will cast a vote for Gen.
Hancock next November.
When will the Census enumerators
be paid is now a question that puzzles
the brain of those lately engaged in that
work. Secretary Schurz lias decided
that no pay can be expected until an
official report of the Census has been
made. The question is what is a report 1
Is it not the closing of the work and the
forwarding of the returns t^ Washing
ton City ? Or is it to mean that the enu
merators are to wait for their pay until
the report has been made to Congress
and adopted ? Evidently Mr. Sliurz is
trifling with the men who have labored
assidiously in that work and he is in
terpreting the law to suit himself and
to conform to the fact that " men in
high office seldom exercise common
justice."—[Marksville Bulletin.
Census enumerators need not expect
any pay for their services for some time
to come. Every dollar that can be kept
back by the Hayes administration will
be used in furtherance of the Republi
can success. Perhaps after the election
something may be done toward liqui
dating these claims, but before that
time the chances are against the poor
enumerators.
Hydrophobia —A special from Wood
ville, Miss., to the N> 0. Times, dated
Jply 37th, says t
Yesterday evening a eolored boy, ten
years old, was bitten by a mad dog. A
liorso and several other dogs were also
bitten before the dog was killed. Hy
drophobia seems to be epidemic among
the dogs throughout the county. Many
valuable packs of hounds and five point
ers have been destroyed.
DaSoto Democrat: We are informed
by Mr. Jas. Bradford that he bas some
cotton openiug on bis farm.
Opposed to Holding' Country
Terms.
One of our Supreme Jiuiges, on his
return to New Orleans, was interviewed
by a newspaper reporter, upon the sub
ject of the recent terms of the court
held at Monroe and Opelousas. The
Judge said, in substance, that not only
himself, but the other Judges also, were
very much displeased with these couutry
terms, and assigned, among other ob
jections, the want of proper law books
to enable them to arrive at intelligible
decisions, bad hotel accommodations,
expensive traveling, etc., etc. He inti
mated, in the course of his conversation
with the reporter, that the Legislature
should abolish the country terms, and
make all the appealable cases from the
country returnable to New Orleans.
Every Supreme Court that Louisiana
ever had has kicked against the country
terms. And it should be in order, here
after, for the Governor of the State,
before he makes any appointment of
Judges, to ascertain from them person
ally if they are opposed to holding
country terms. If they are, he should
Jet them severe!;/ alone, and select none
other than those who are willing to
serve the people of the country parishes
as well as those of the city. We are
aware that the country towns at which
the court is held do not otter so much
attractions aud facilities as does the
city of New Orleans, but, then, that is
no valid reason why the whole business
of the couutry parishes should be merged
into New Orleans.
Wheu they accepted the appointments
at the hands of the Governor, the Judges
knew just exactly the amount of labor
they had to perform, and for which they
were to be paid, aud all about the in
conveniences and privations—either im
aginary or real—they would have to
encounter in the course of their terms
of service. If these labors were too
much for them, or too repugnant to
them, they should have decliued the
appointments tendered them. Others
could easily have been found of equal
legal abilities to fill the bill.
For the Judges, personally and indi
vidually, we entertain the highest
regard, for we believe each and every
one of them honors the position he holds.
No Supreme Bench ever made a more
favorable impression upon the people
of this section than did the present one.
But we are free to confess that know
ing, as we do, that everything was done
here that human engeuuity could devise
to promote their personal comfort, and
make their short stay among us agree
able and pleasant, and that they had
free access to the finest law libraries to
be found in the State, not excepting
New Orleans, we feel astonished and
even mortifield to hear of their com
plaints. We are not prepared to speak
of the accommodations aud treatment
they may have received at Monroe, but
here at Opelousas, we are certain, they
have not one particle of reason upon
which to base the slightest complaint.
They urge that they had not sufficient
room facilities for the proper delibera
tions of cases submitted to them. This
may be so. But we are puzzled to know
how much more room they required
when the best half of an entire hotel
building was placed at their disposal,
and every attention lavished upon them
that mortal man could imagine or de
vise. Further comment is unnecessary
to show tip the real cause that underlies
these gratuitous complaints—for it con
sists in nothing more nor Jess than an
absolute aversion to holding terms of
court outside of New Orleans. This is
the secret in a nut-shell.
Frank and Jesse James .—Hon. J. A.
Dacus of St. Louis, the well kuown ed
itor and ex-Member of the Missouri
Legislature, has written a careftrlly
prepared "Life and Adventures of
Frank and Jesse James," which has
been issued by the well known publish
ing house of N. D. Thompson & Co., of
that city. Mr. Dacus we are informed,
spent two years iu the preparation of
this work, much of which time was with
the family and friends of the James
Boys, whose friendship and confidence
he gained, and who gave him all the
facts concerning the almost numberless
robberies, dashing raids and vengeful
murders committed by them during the
80 years of their career in nearly as many
Statesand Territories. The book is the
most startling record made in history.
The careers have no parrallel in the
history of highwaymen. Hold and
dashing to a degree that seemed reckless
to personal danger, yet they have never
been apprehended during this long
period though rewards to the amount
of #75,000 have been ofi'ered for their
arrest, dead or alive. The book is sold
by subsription, and we are informed by
the publishers that 31,000 have been
sold in four months. Agents are reap
ing a rich harvest with it. We adver
tize it in another column.
The next election is iu Alabama on
the 2d of August. Arkansas follows on
tlie 7th ; Vermont on September 7th ;
Maine, September 18th ; Georgia on
Octoberthe 6th, and Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia, October 14th. There
will lie a good deal of interest; about
tiio Maine election.
Leading Republicans at the North,
East, and West are nearly all coming
over to the support of Hancock and
English. From a Pennsylvania paper
which chauccd to find its way here, we
noticed nearly a whole column of closely
printed matter announcing political
changes iu that State alone from the
Republican to the Democratic side.
Noticing these changes, the Baton
Rouge Sugar Planter pertinently re
marks:
Were we to publish all the changes
from Garfield to Hancock or say from
the Republican to the Democratic party,
with the published reasons for the
change, the twenty columns of the
Sugar Planter would be weekly filled
with no other reading matter. Our
political experience of some forty years
chronicles no similar movement on pait
of the people. It is an uprising of the
masses from center to circumference—
from one point of the compass to the
other—it includes all ranks, all profes
sions, all creeds, and we might say all
colors—all anxious to change our rul
ers, to redeem the government from the
disgrace into which it has fallen and to
bring back the purer days of the Re
public under the lead of the gallant
llaiicock, who to-day is the idol of the
American people. And they intend to
put him into the White House and keep
him there until the great work of re
generation is accomplished.
Gen. A. L. Pearson, of Pittsburg,
Penu., has sent in his resignatiou as
member of the Union Veterans' Na
tional Committee. After elaborately
setting lot tli his reasons for withdraw
ing his membership, he concludes by
saying :
"The entire issues that divide the two op
posing parties is the issue of hate and usurpa
tion en the part of the Republican party, with
military dictation at the polls. Against this
bad policy tlie Democratic party lias arraigned
itself, and has chosen the gallant Gen. \V. a.
Hancock, w ho had placed himself squarely on
that issue by proclaiming the right of trial by
jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press,
the freedom of speech, and that the natural
rights of persons and the rights ot property
must be preserved.
" In choosing between these two parties I
cannot see how a patriot can blunder.
" Nearly every soldier who fought with Han
cock to obtain peace will vote with him and
for liini to make that peace effective and perma
nent.
" Entertaining the highest respect for my
fellow committeemen, and earnestly hoping
that they will view this important matter iu
the light that I do, and come to the same con
clusion. viz : to vote for Gen. Hancock,
"I am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant. A, L. P earson.

Veterans' National Committee.
Col E. W. Robertson . — The name of
Col. E. W. Robertson will again be pre
sented to the Convention of the Sixth
Congressional District as a candidate for
re-election to Congress—a position
which he has ably filled for the past
four years. He is decidedly our first
choice aud he is the unanimous choice
of the people of this parish for re-elec
tion, and iu saying this we know where
of we speak. There are several other
candidates for the same position who
will present their claims on the 9th of
next mouth, whose merits we are un
prepared to speak as they are com
paratively strangers to the general
voters of the District, although unques
tionably good men. Our chief reason
for again supporting Col. Robertson is
that he has performed his duties faith
fully and well in the past, which are
the best auguries of what he will do in
the future. Congressional learning is
not acquired iu a mouth or a year, nor
does it come intuitively. It takes long
practice to familiarise one with the
duties of such a station in public life,
and that is the reason why the North
has always had such great advantage
over the South—their Congressmen are
not often changed, unless for good and
sufficient cause. Col. Robertson had
much to contend with the past four
years, as much from his own party as
from Iiis political opponents, and bravely
has he surmounted all difficulties. If
re-elected to the House—and we believe
he will be—he will have the advantage
of long experience, over many other
members ot that body, as it is self-evi
dent that great changes will take place
in the personnelle ot the next Nation
al House of Representatives.—[Baton
Rouge Sugar Planter.
The above has our cordial indorse
ment. No man deserves better of his
constituency thau Col. Kobertson.
From Natchitoches Register: The
Iberville South is opposed to an extra
session of our Legislature, and from the
extract below, it don't seem to have
much confidence in the capacity of our
law-makers :
" We are opposed to an Extra Session
just as we are, and always have been,
to any other useless expenditure of the
people's money. We sympathize with
New Orleaus iu her distress and would
like to help the old noble city along,
but we have no faith iu the remedy.
We believe it to be worse than the
disease complained of. The last legisla
ture worked fruitlessly on a City Charter
ninety days, and we believe that had
the session been protracted 90 days
more the result would have been about
the same."
This is an iudorseuient of what we
said in a former issue of the Democrat.
Rapides Parish .—We clip the sub
joined article from the Alexandria Dem
ocrat of the '38th. inst :
Judge Barbiu presided on Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week, at the
preliminary tiial of William F. Jackson,
charged with the killing of Horace
Marshall. The investigation was a
thorough and impartial one, the State
represented by E. G. Hunter, District
Attorney, and the Defendant by W. F.
Blackmail, Esq., resulting in the De
fendant being required to give bail for
his appearance before the District Court
in the sum of four thousand dollars.
The required bond was readily given
and the prisoner discharged.
C. C. Dnson, in obedience to the
recent decision in his favor of the Su
preme Court, has been commissioned
sheriff of the Parish of Saint Landry.
Hurrah ! Hurrah ! !—[Alexandria Demo
crat,
The Republicans virtually confess
that they are unable to carry the presi
dential election in a legal way, when
they afford every day unmistakable
evidences that tliey intend to resort to
their favorite mode of carrying it by
fraud. One would think that common
prudence would dictate to them the
necessity of keeping their plans secret.
Hut madness is an incident, of approach
ing destruction, according to the adage.
Hence they are continually prating of
their ability to carry the Democratic
State of New Vorlc by taking from the
people their right to choose presidential
electors and vesting the power in the
state Legislature. There can be little
doubt that they will resort to such an ex
pedient, unless they come to the conclu
sion that they would lose more than they
would gain by such a high-handed
outrage.
The intimation that such a plan is
contemplated has awakened the Dem
ocracy to the necessity of devising the
means of circumventing it. Mr. Html,
of Ohio, an able constitutional lawyer,
takes the ground that such action would
violate the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Constitution, and that if the whole
body of the people of New York should
thus be deprived of the right to vote,
the whole electoral vote should bo
counted out. If the election should be
close, it would not avail the Democracy
anything to have this vote rejected. It
must be counted for the Democratic
candidate. A correspondent of the Ht.
Louis Republican, in a very ingenious
article, takes the ground that there is
no warrant in the constitution for an
election of electors by the Legislat ure ;
that the words "in such manner as the
Legislature shall determine," do not
give the Legislature the right to assume
this duty itself. Perhaps other plausi
ble arguments may be found to satisfy
the scruples of those m ho would rectify
such a great wrong, but who would like
to keep both within the letter and spirit
of the law, while they are doing it.
Hut the Radicals will perhaps find that
a Democratic Congress will not be so
mealy-mouthed as to the method they
shall adopt to secure the inauguration
of the man whom a majority of the
people shall elect to the Presidency. If
a majority of the people of New York
vote for Hancock we will gaurautee
that the electoral vote of the State will
be cast for him. The Republicans can
not learu too early that the days of
eight to seven commissions, and, there
fore, the days of fraudulent elections
are about over. No Democrat, there
fore, need be discouraged by the fear
that his work in this campaign will not
bring forth its legitimate fruit because
of the fraudulent acts of our opponents.
He should the rather be encouraged by
the knowledge that the Republicans
would throw up the campaign at once
if it were not for the hope of a fraudu
lent election, the ways and means of
which they are openly devising.—
