The scandalous report that Bains
county preferred Farmer to Kilgore
turns out to be true.—Democrat
and Reporter.
Your informant was mistaken
Bro. Hamilton, the people of Hains
county did not prefer Farmer to
Kilgore. If you don't apologize to
the people of Rains county for the
mistake it will never be safe for
you to travel through that country
without an escort.
It is said that "hope springs
eternal in the human breast," and
we have never met with a better
verification of that truth than the
alacrity with which Bill Farmer
toes the scratch as a candidate at
each general election. For the
last ten years lie has been a candi-
date for some oflice and suffered
overwhelming defeat every time.
If there is such a thing as a limit
to the o(lice-seeker's hope it seems
to us that it is about time that Hill
had reached that point in life.
Tariff reduction will come even
if the party pledged to carry it out
is defeated. Reforms never go
backward. They may be checked
for a time, but can not be strangled.
—Gilmer Mirror.
Correct, but why didn't you
leave out. that "reforms never go
backward," that is one of the frag-
menUi of the exploded prohibition
campaign of last year and has
aboat it the strange and hollow
pound of an echo.
A Louisiana exchange says:
The ri<*e crop of Calcasieu Parish
will thin year average twelve barrels
})or acre, and is now being marketed
or a cash price of per barrel.
Compute this if you wish to know
whether rice pays.—Democrat and
Reporter.
There are thousands of acres of
land in Wood county on which rice
....••tilth be profitably grown. The crop
is easily cultivated and harvested
and the machinery necessary to
clean it is cheap and simple. An
idea prevails among people wlm
have never seen rice grown that the
rice field must be situated so that it
can be flooded with water; this is a
great mistake, it requires but little
more water than corn and grows to
the greatest perfection on any rich
bottom land, though it will also
grow in water. In extra good
seasons will yield a full crop on any
level upland in Wood county.
In a special from Boston to the
St. Louis Republic of November
7th, an interview with B. F. But-
ler is reported, from which we take
the following characteristic expres-
sion. He is grateful for the repub-
lican victory for several reasons,
chiefly because "that by the Four-
teenth Amendment, whenever Con-
gress finds that the freedman made
voters are deprived of their politi-
cal rights, then the States in which
that is done can be deprived of
their political powers, and the
North will no longer tamely and j
foolishly allow, as they have, the
political power of the negro vote
and not let him vote."
That is to say, Butler would ad-
vise the republicans to utilize their
advantage by placing the Southern
States, or as many of them as their
purpose requires, under reconstruc-
tion rule again. This is what we
understand him to mean by "can
be deprived of their political pow-
ers." It is not to be expected that
such spirits as Butler, Ingalls,
Hoar and Spooner will control tho
policy of the now administration,
but in view of the fact that Harri-
son bears the reputation of share-
ing with those violent leaders their
well known inordinate hatred of
the South, and recalling the fierce
attacks of the three Senators men-
tioned in their recent discussion of
the Washington county, Texas, in-
vestigations in the United States
Senate, wo are forced to admit that
there is a bare possibility that such
extreme measures may be resorted
to and that Texas and Louisiana
will be the victims in case it be-
comes necessary to adopt that des-
perate policy to retain power. Tho
history of the Republican party
offers no encouragement to the ex-
pectation that the Constitution will
limit and control them in the ad-
ministration of the government.
When the Southern States were
handed over to Warmouth, Davis,
Moses, Brownlow, Kellogg, et al.,
and shamelessly plundered with
the full knowledge and consent of
their party's leaders, and later
when it became necessary to usurp
the presidency in 187H, the for-
bearance of the American people
was the only limit that they dared
not overstep.

Respectfully,
BRUCE & CO,
Tiik result of the election as to
representative in this the IMtli dis-
trict in gratifying to the Democratic
party for several reasons, chief
among which is that our represen-
tative elect, 1 Ion. .1. W . 11 uinphrey,
of Rains county, is a man of ster-
ling worth, of incoiruptable honor
and good •ound judgment. Mr.
Humphrey no doubt reurets that
hit owa county gave u small ma-[
jority. a^iast him, but tho Demo-
crats of Wood county understand
that it was not because of his per-
sonal unpopularity, but because
the Union I*bor party was in the
