Rowell Rowell Louis, tMo ALEXANDRIA. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1878. FOR SHERIFF. ALLxANDRIA. June 15, 1878.f EDITOR DEMOCRATPlease announce that I am a candidate for re-election for SHERIFF of the Pariash of Rapides, subject to the vote of the people at the ensuing election.

H. M. ROBINSON. You MUST REGISTER! For the special information and benefit of the voters of the Parish of Rapides, who desire to vote in November next, we beg them to bear in mind that under the new law, now in full operation, and under which Major Watts is now registering, that they must register. Let them also bear In mind that under the new law no certificate of registration is given to the voter.

His name is simply registered in the Supervisor's book, and its appearance there is prima facie evidence of his right to vote. It should be further remembered, more. over, that the registration of this year is intended to supplant all others, and old certificates will not be recognized hereafter, being dull and void and of no use. Those who desire to vote in November must register anew.

FERGUSON SCHNACK, WATCHMAKERS and JEWELERS. -Tza Examinations of the Public Schools of Alexandria and Pinevile were duly advertised In our columns last week, and we are pleased to note that these Scholastic exercises commenced on Monday and Tuesday of this week, in Pineville, and closed there with great credit to the girls and boys, reflecting highly in favor of the competent teachers, Mrs. Armstrong, Prof. W. J.

Calvit and H. J. Wright. To day, in the Town Hall, commence the exercises and examinations of our Town Publio Schools, which will be continued on to-morrow and the next day. On Friday, the last day of these exercises, the Annual Address will be delivered by Robert P.

Hunter, Esq. -LOCAL political items are few and far between, for the past week, In our Town and Parish. With the exception of a croaking grunt from a few played out gentry, not a ripple has appeared on the surface to mar the harmony of ye pap-seekers, and not one has ventured the announcement of his name and claims to the love and distinguished consideration of his fellow-citizens at large. Ba passant a dilapidated wag at our elbow suggests, that if we will an Bounce "on tick," that he knows more than a baker's dozen of pure patriots and unsullied im'ragans who will patronize us, and through our columns ring loud their own claims. No.

werroa. --Tsz annual examination of the Select School of Professor Pardee, will take place at his School House, corner of Murray and Fourth streets, ou Monday and Tuesday, July 1st and 2d, 1878. The examinations will commence at 10 o'clock A. M. and close at 1 o'elock P.

of each day. The public generally are invited to attend. --THs pretty Bonnie Lee, the night owl of the Pool Line, glided by our Town late in the night of Friday, and as usual her clerks did not remember the paper wants of this office, and even failed to put out our package of papers sent us by the President of their Line. No beavers was tipped on this occasion. -TsAT popular House, from which I hangs the big white plow, and Win.

I Hosuatmyre is the name of the boss, is a too well known to need any mention at our hands, is still holding out 'great inducements to purchasers, and there you can yet get the best and cheapest bargalons. --FaoN what we can glesa by a side glance at some of our true and consistent Republican friends, we in-l for that they intend to withdraw alllt endorsements, and make straight out nominations. How is this for high? -Paor. A. Albert is buildlng a very neat Photographic Gallery, opposite the Court House, which he tc will occuly next week.

1 SMITH AND LEONARD. Albert Leonard has been confirmOR ed as District Attorney for the Uni ted States, notwithstanding the adverse report of the Senate Judiciary Committee against him, and so we have the precious couple, above named, as the fruit of Hayes' Civil Service Reform promises. George Smith, the Collector of the Port of New Orleans, is one of the most disreputable of the Radical thieves that infested our State during the reconstruction days. He did not pretend as to be anything more than an advenrk turer, who saw in this State a good chance to make money by professing lo republicanism, and he accordingly never failed to profit by the opportunity circumstances afforded him.S. It is notorious that he has embezzled school funds to a large amount, and that he never missed a chance to swell his purse at the expense of his honesty.

That such a creature should have been nominated for so responsible an office is a marvel, but ate happily for the good people of Loun. Islana, it is no longer a marvel how be was confirmed. be It is now known that Smith could of not have been confirmed unless Mr. Eustis had consented to it. Hayes er had sent in the name of George Wilad liamson for the Collectorship, and ill the Democratic Senators were eager or to confirm him, and thus give to ey New Orleans a gentleman for the ar most important office there.

We can 3o never forgive Williamson for his to treason to his party and his State g- when be threw himself in the arms id of Grant, but he would have made de by all odds the best Collector that It Hayes could appoint. He would e. have had every inducement to do is right and justice, and the commerb. cial community of New Orleans be would have been glad to have had id him in the office, with which they le. have so much to do.

g. Mr. Jas. B. Eustis, using his influoence as Senator, prevented the confirmation of Mr.

Williamson, it is believed, because he feared that the gR latter as Collector would prejudice IE his chances of re-election to the Sena ate. If he could prevent the confirod mation of Williamson he could also prevent the confirmation of Smith, b- and we have therefore the strange spectacle of the first Democratic Dl- Senator we have had since the war, ed foisting upon us the meanest representative of carpet-baggery that ad could be found. A fit companion is the scalawag to Leonard, who has been "everything ly in turn, and nothing long," and as it is well known that Mr. Wheeler felt rit himself morally bound to get Leo. he nard a place, because he had ruined him by entrapping him into his cele brated compromise, so it is also ed known that Mr.

Eustis, who was SLeonard's coadjutor in that affair, had reason on that account to think him a marvellous proper person for reward. What does the Democratic party say, what will they say, to this strange result, brought about by he mesas so little to be expected? And how is it that the appointment of le Leonard, whose unfitness for the ar place he has got is well known, and Id whose treachery to his party during a- the last winter was observed by eve Ie ry one, is passed over in silence by the New Orleans Democrat, that claims to speak for a great party on ii- political matters. Even when Judge a Spo8ford had secured the caucus nomination for Senator, and therere fore his election was sure, when the 1o balloting came on in the Legisla or tore, Leonard did not vote for him. 5. Can any one say that a pair of political shysters such as Smith and Leonard are the proper persons to fill the two most important Fede eral offices in this State.

The respousibility of their nomination is on st the electoral Fraudulency of the aWhite House, but who is responsible for their confirmation? YOU WANT A GOOD, DURABLE and EASY-RUNNING SEWING MACHINE, BOUY THE "WILON" FROM MOORE BIOSSAT, THE ONLY SAUTHORIZED AGENT IN RAPIDES PARISHII. OFFICE: CORNER SECd OND and DESOTO STREETS, ALEXANDRIA, LA. S-HAMLErr, Prince of Denmark, had a level head when be soliloquized: "To be or not to be, that's the quesr tion," and most have had in his mind's eye, the real benefits flowing from a cold temperance drink, and Sthe free use of such cold soda water, nectarines, and other froI zen beverages as are kept at Lzrm's, Iunder the charge of Charlie GoldenSberg and John Gibson. I -KZao Anderson has gone to Washington, being summoned there i by the Investigating Committee. We will wager three watermelons that by the time Marshal McMahon, the Ohio Democrat, is through with him he will wish he never had left the Custom House.

-Tae Democrats of Rapides have too big a fight on hand to indulge in Ib grumbling. tl POLITICAL GOSSIP. 1- The registration of last week proves i that we have been correct all along in i- warning our friends not to rely with any confidence, upon any supposed re division among, or inactivity on the part of our polical adversaries. A ii colored republican politician returned from New Orleans, and found that the negroes were not registering as s. fast as he wanted them to do, and he it started out in a double buggy-and I.

we have his word for it, that he stirred out three hundred and twelve colored voters in two days, and that he has got things fixed to make it lively for the Registrar, when he opens his office in Alexandria again. r. This. only proves what we have al- ways said, that a large majority of the negroes will, as they have always done, rally at the command of their political masters. It any one on our side, imagines for a moment, that we -e can win in Rapides without a vigor ons and united struggle, let him it abandon the idea.

"Eternal vigi. lance is the price of liberty," and the price also of success for us in the coming campaign. It depends in a great measure upon the start we r. make. Our only fears have been that too much zeal for the political 1- advancement of friends might mar the harmony of our party, asit did in the last election to some little tent.

Everything is far from lovely in their ranks from the same cause, and the filling of the offices of Sheriff is and Legislators, to the satisfaction of their rank and file, is going to be a no easy matter. If we are wise we le will profit by their difficulties, and it endeavor to use their perplexities against them. To endorse, or go straight out, is the question upon r- which hangs their -choice of a candia date for Sheriff. A little bird whisd pered to us that a straight out and out, is preparing to vacate his office on the eve of its abolition, and that h. he is after the "endorsee" with a sharp stick for the office of Sheriff.

is That would put the President of the Returning Board in a very delicate' position, and we will await with some i- anxiety, to see how he will fix r- things. He no longer holds the power he was wont to hold over their heads, and although we are neither a "prophet, nor the son of a prophet," we predict that the "endorsee" and Returning Board, will both go by the e. board in the contest. verrons. it As to legislators, they are in no better position.

If they nominate negroes, they disgust their white alg lies--and if they don't, they displease it their voters, far they look upon that It office as belonging to them. They may get out of the scrape by making id it half and half, as they probably a will, but tLcy will want to find our 0o new man we imagine, for "facts ap is parent upan the face of the record," as the lawyers wouldi say, and it would not surprise us if they nomi nated two negroes in default of an available white man. We mention these things to show that they will have difficulties in this way that we will not have, as our course is plain and open before us. If we nominate the most available men for the positions to be filled, I and then enter upon the canvass de termined to elect them, and to sink Severy other consideration but that i one, we will assuredly succeed. The i election will probably be close, and one hundred voters either way, will, in all probability determine the re- I a sult.

Let the Mass Meeting on the I -20th July be largely attended, and let the resolutions to be adopted, ad- vise the necessity for harmony and and we will have such aI start off as will assure our success in I i November. --Taz Sheriff of Natchitoches was 1 i- a passenger on the last down trip of i the Bart. Able, and had with him as oompagnons de voyage nine laborers for the New Orleans Pacific Railway. They will tarry a few days at Baton Rouge to bathe, shave aud be fitted to new suits, and then will return to Alexandria as guests of the James Hotel in the First Ward. We are Sashamed to have to acknowledge that the juries of Natchitoches are more sensitive to the wants and true interests of our Railroad, than those I of our Parish have shown themselves Sto be.

I -A REcoRD may be a good thing for a racehorse, but it is an awkward I thing for a second-handed politiolan. I Here we have several just about now i Itrying hard to prove that they were ialways Democrats, neve blinked the Stenets of the old party, and yet they are coaxing our Republican leaders not to be so foolish as to make nom- It inations, but turn to them sad give them endorsement. -ANOTHER wedding has taken 1 place at the White House-a Gene, ral Russell Hastings, on the evening ti of the 19th, was joined in wedlock to Miss Emily Platt, a niece of Mrs. Hayes. The nuptials were celebrated in the famous blue parlor of i the Executive Mansion.

TILE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. AMENDMENT NUMBER FIVE. The Governor shall receive a salary, of seven thousand dollars per annum, payable quarterly, on his own warrant. (Strike out article fifty-six.) AMtENDMENT NUMBER SIX. The Lieutenant Governor shall receive a salary which shall be double that of a member of the General Assembly.

(Strike out article fifty-seven.) These two Amendments propose to reduce the 'annual expenses of the State government about three thous and dollars and, taken by themselves, are of no particular. importance, but as forming one of a series of reductions, they indicate the general desire for reform. It was a part of the policy of the Radicals, while they were in possession of our State, to make as many offices as possible and pay as large salaries as they could. The office of Lieutenant Governor, while held by the little bullet-headed negro, Antoine, with its salary and perquisites, was worth about ten thousand dollars per annum. The salary of the Governor, as proposed in amendment number five, is one of the most liberal paid by any of the States and is largely in I excess of that paid by a majority of the States.

We are, however, in favor of paying fair salaries to all o81 cers, so as to place them within reach of all. The effect of low salaries for high offices is to give the ofSices to rich men, because men without money cannot support themselves on the salaries with increased expenses. AMENDMENT NUMBER SEVEN. Every bill which shall have passed both houses shall be presented to the Governor; if lie approve it. he shall sign it; if he does not, he shall return it, with his objections, to the house in which it originated, which shall enter the objections at large upon its joor i nal, and proceed to reconsider it.

If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of all the members present in that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds of the members present in that House, it shall f-i a law. But in such cases the vote of both Hlouses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of members voting for or against the bill shall be entered upon the journal of each House respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the Governor within five days after it shall have been presented to him. it shall be a law, in like mani ner as it he had signed it, unless the General Assembly, by' adjournient, prevent its return; in which case, within thirty days, the Governor shall file the same, with his objections thereto, in the office of the of State, and give public notice thereof; otherwise it shall become a law, as if he had signed it. The Secretary of State shall coummunicto said objretions and hill so deposited to the llouse, in wbic-h it originated on thle filrst day of iti meetiug of the next General Assembly, who shall act upon the same as auove provided.

The Governor s1rall have power" to veto orn or monre iteies in any bill aippropriatiug money, embracing distinct' itmns, while approving lportions of the bill, and the part or parts of the bill approvced shall.be law, andl the item or items disapproved shall be unuless repassedi according to the rules and limitations prescribed the passage of other bills over the Goveroor's veto(Strike out article sixty-six.) This Amendment proposes to correct one of the most flagrant abusp of power ever claimed and exercised by the Radicals, even in the heigft of their corrupt Louisiana, The Constitution of 1868 fixed no time at which the Governor slhould approve the bills passed bI the ILegsislature, and it was the cusatom of both Warmoth and Kellogg to hold up bills with money in them until they were paid for their approval.Parties desirihg to establish a monopoly, such as the Lottery, the Sugar Sheds, the Slaughter House, Ship Island Canal and other jobs ol that nature, first bribed the nuembers of the two Houses and bought its passage through them, and then bribed the Governor and bought his approval. The omission tolimit the time in which the Governor a0ould approve or veto a bill, gave to Warmoth and Kellogg an unusual power, which they did not fail to use to their pecuniary advantage. Nor was this the only-evil to be corrected by this Amendment. It gave the Governor anlImmense po liticat power, and he could, and the two named above frequently did, pocket bills of a political nature, and would promulgate them at inconvenient times or else hide them from sight forever. Without some such limitation as that proposed the Governor is practically the master of the Legislature, and but little short in his power of that ofa dictator.

The last clause, authorizing the veto of particular items of a bill appropriating money, without jIaving to veto the whole bill, is also amuch needed measure of reform the power of the Legislature in a safe direction. It will also promote correct legislation as, in malny instances, the Governor would be forced to approve objectionable items in the reveone bills, which Ce frequently passed in the last hours of the session, because to the w-hole act would stop ttihe iwhole of the State government. -AT sharp 10 o'clock this morn. ing the Packet leaves for "ew Orleans. OUR RAILROAD.

We verily believe that the New Orleans Pacific Railway, whdfch we take some pride in acknowledging and calling our own, and whose fast friend and honest advocate we have been from the beginning, has had more captious and spiteful opposition to contend against than any enterprise of the kind in this State, nay we may add in the United States.Started on plain, fair and legitimate ideas and plans, without State aid or subsidy of any kind, merely as a stock company incorporated by Ndtarial. Act, under the laws the State, with an excellent business bargain, cheaply and effectively under a good working contract from its incipiency, it has this opposition alluded to above, marvellously and to the great benefit of its stockholders. En passant the aid its Directors at one time asked of the people of New Orleans in the way of a small tax to make them become shareholders, and which was fooli'hly declined andirefused, wedo not strictly consider as a rebuttal to our statement. Of all people, and especially property holders, on earth, those of New Orleans, or a majority of them at least, are the greatest criminals for being so blind to self-interest, to protecting and paying interests, that would surely follow in the track of the early completion of this Road. We want no better proof to dash in their weak optics, than the patent fact that three diminutive stern-wheel steamboats now suffice foF the once great and remunerative trade between Shreveport and their City, and day by day it is falling off, going to St.

Louis and the great West at the other end of the river and by rail, and for the present we ask them to chew this bitter and suicidal quid. We are forced ibto these roughhewn but truthful pencilings by the recent fact, as will be seen by our readers from an article we take from the New Orleans Democrat, that our Railroad is again called to face and combat more opposition our enigma of a State Government, and that this opposition is broached anew by the persistent and foolish enemies of the and of all true progress in Louisiana. Our readers will have to take this new opposition as mapped out from the 'State House, with due indulgence, and be cheered by the fact that the able ind energetic Directory of the Road are not in the least discouraged by this fresh outbreak of rebellion tiheir rights, but that they will trust it like all the rest with the law's dieeision in their favor. Thie goor work will not-slacken in the least, but on the contrary is being p)ushed forward as if they had no opposition and had $2,000,000 in their Inside of three weeks 300 laliorers will be hlere, anod will commence at the cros sing of the Bayou Rapides and com plete the Road' to Leceomtc, thence continue it to the Fordoehe, where' the hands are just nowabout inak ing a finish. -MAJOR WAie, Assessor and Registrar, closed his official dtluties, on last Saturday evening, at Le comte poll, making seven polls out of thetwenty in Rapides that have been completed.
