It seems that the bene- affor ficent effects of that supper came and I within one vote of causing the removal Capi of the capital to Baton Rouge, at the W subsequent session of the tepublican appr Legislature. No doubt that if brother whic Annis could have gotten up another tend lunch on the samne basis, the last but- theft' ton on "G abo's coat" would have given to eN way. coi ''The enterprising little man goes on from to show how he was the pioneer in turn conciliating the colored man and T' brother, to that extent that in 1876, whit barbecues were given at which all the 4 hands ate of thie same roast hc. The itg, redemption of the city and State was tend due to his self-sacrificing efforts as aot grand sachem of the Rinq 'T'ail Sque- o'lil lers, who tlurned Radical votes into otlh( I)emocratic ntmjorities. He was only the three years "ahead of tile holtnds," who that's all; and but a few only, behind tat Longstreet. )oe Just to thlink that the Itadical (Con gress set up a howl against the bull- Ieu doozers of the Floridai parishes, accu- spin sing themn of carrying elections by as c intimidation, whereas the true in ward- For ness of the revolution which took sesA place in the mind of the colored peo- met ple, causing them to vote thle l)emo- not cratic ticket, was but the effcts of ofa brother Annis' convivial policy in treating three or four colored Repub- thet lican politicians to "that social equali- "a ty suppler," on independence day, in trat the year of our Lord 1873. or r Yet brother Annis, allowed the V howl to proceed, and congressiltal voi commnittees to make sundry costly ver investigations, without divulging the nii real facts in the case. 'ris only at I this late day, that hlie discloses a se- whi cret, the knowledge of which, would pas have caused Northern public opinion gui to runt in an entirely diflerent channel, wr than the one which carried Ruther- tei ford B. h1ayes, right smack into the hei Presidelltial chair. It was a cow, that upset the coal siC oil lainp, which set fire to the stable of 1 from wht'nce started the terrible con- tlt flagrationt which well nigh destroyed the city of Chicago. And now the country will be star- for tied by learning that "Bill Annis," sh( the little editor of the Baton Rouge tlu Adrocate, organized the supper that ceu converted the colored people of the at bulldoozing parishes of Louisiana, which gave the vote of the State to fin Tilden. What will "the boys" say all ovei tic this broad land, when they find out in that Uncle Sam Tilden would have ' gotten his seat and they the nice Fed- be eral appointments, if that "ass-tnte" tur Bill Annis, as he spells the word, had ma only "peached" and told the congres- me sional committees, how it was, that da his Ring Tail quealters were thie ones terel who did the real work, by filling the of pl panutch of the colored ,politiioans at than "that eeInattequality supper." ' After this overwhelming disclosure, "the all we can say is: "lili Anuni," Grand the Sachem of the illustriodts order of the quei Ring Til Squealers, thou art entitled iota to the everlasting gratitude of the Con people of thy beloved State, be thrice 11 blessed for thy valiant services, toni In haillng tihe hLok, of 1 With which were caught, p 4 'Ihe Itndical jhh ; Wno voted for Tilden and Nluholla, 00 n Eighteen Seovonty.Six. THEVOIOE OF THE PEOPLE.IB OUR ONLY MA L'ER; In presenting the first number of ton the Trl-Weekly CAIl'rouAN, we have been compelled to alter the form in which, since the birth of the paper in athe February, 1879, it has steadily gained b favor and patronage at the hands of a ul generous public. The complitnents tile which have been addressed us by its bal patrons and the press generally, con- pet cerning its typographical appearance, vat have excited our pride to such a doe gree that we part almost sorrowfully int from the handsome seven column four page form and the plain letter of its the heading. Co We fuel compensated for the altera- tor tion, however, by the thought and ine the knowledge that in reducing the sce size of the pages, we will have doubled their number, enabling us to present a to our readers Ian eight page Weekly 3 containing forty-eight columlns, in Sk, which the amount of ruading matter l will be correspondingly increased. " As CAPITOI.IANS we take a just T pride in the community in which we live and receive a generous support InI and encouragement. We know that Jet a handsome, interesting and vigorous Ii journal tends in giving the outside ir world a good opinion of the city or ino . parish where such a journal l pub- To .lished. 'The benefits accruing are . therefore mutual: In proportion to I the patronage we receive, will we he b 1 f enabled to increase the popularity of bI 3 Baton RoIuge and attract notice to the try c exceptional advantages it offers to tl the enterprising, Ias well as to those it afforded by the picturesque, lovely to e and fertile lands which surround the i1 Capital City. Ilt e While of course, we will gratefully til u appreciate the liberal patronage, A r which the public may see lit to ex- G . tend Ius, we can, in all sincerity tell at them that in aiding us ill our elorlts A to establish a journal worthy of our community, they will but sow seeds I1 from which to reapl a harvest ill re- K Sturnl. S'The title of this article is the motto tl w, which appears under the heading of of Sing, indicating as it. doeIs, that we in- A s tend to publish an outspoken paper, a o1e controlled hy no co'lric, whethller p- IoliticJal, riligious or otherwise. In :o other words we exlect to llrepresct b · the spirit of tlhe lIrc .I Alleicall citizen,b Swho glories ill thei greatness of his 1:,(tate 1and country, with its truly n D)emocratic iinst ilut iols. . We arc for the nlaintcnance of the e I- ceiublic, inl accordanlce with the (f 1- spirit and letter of the Constitution, y as crceated by its inimortal franmers. 1- For a Union of co-equal States, pos k sessing the righit oflocal self-govern-. u- ment, one whllich ought not and can o- not he obliterated I the mailed hand of of a centralizing power. in We are opposed to those cowardly r b- theories, whlich call for what is termed Ii- "a strong govoIrnomnt" with a concen in tration of power in the hands of one or more men. he We recognize but one master: tilhe a voice of the people, which is, we hy verily believe, the voice of the Al he nmighlty" at It is true that there are moments e- when the masses are moved by evil lld passions, and in tllheir madness are on guilty of comnmitting the most cruel el, wrongs, the very excess of which, 1. never fail, in time, to bring about a hie healthlful reaction. We have just traversed a period al suclh as would cause men to despair ble of the government of the people by I the people thoemselves. ed But the reflutation of the idea tha. the masses must be governed by the ar- force of bayonets hIas been strikingly shown, in our own Louisiana, since ie the day when Federal interference nat ceased to be applied in our internal the affairs. Turn towards California, and we to find there that tile daugers which had been brought about by tile communis ve r tic ideas which had been inculcated out in the minds of the people by the v·e Kallochs and other demagogues, have ed- been completely averted, by the re te" turning sober sense of these very lad masses, who but yesterday were :es- moved by their worst passions. To hat day law is being inffexibly adminia tered, backed by. the irrealtible power of public opuiion, a power greater t than the bayonet or the gatling gun. That's the reason why we are for "the government of the people, by I the people themselves," and in conse Q quence opposed to the death, to any i innovations in the government of the e Constitution. We are down on Grantism, third terinism and everything that savors I of personal rule and centralization of power. " OONTEST BETWEEN THE NEW OR LEANS AND 4ATOREZ G1T3 OLUBS.

It will be seen that the crack New Orleans l Gun Club found foemen worthy of I their steel, having scored but two balls more thatn their Missisaippi com petitors; a result as creditable to the vanquished as it is to the victors, to whom we had the pleasure of being introduced on Sunday, on their down trip on board the steamer Lee, through the courtesy of that gallant gentleman Col.'
