the last publication In the Echo Of Lafayette, pub
ll.hed ID vsrmilionvls that these deplorabe occur
reucss wsrs about 70 ceAse and forever.
But II seems, orr hopes were not well founded. The
following paragraph, which we extract from the Ba-
ton Rouge Advocate Of the 18TH indicates that mat
ters are becoming even more serious than BEFORE and
that very grave apprehensions are entertained. It
must be so when the Governor Of great State feels
constrained to repair to the scene Of disorder Here
ID the paragraph from the Advocate:
Gov. Wicklite left this morning for Vermillicnvile
to lend his presence and authority to the suppression
Of the anarchy that regns in the parishes Of
and vermillion. Urgent official letters from Judge
ered il imperative that the Governors presence was
necessary to the preservation o. the laws ana spes
to the legally constituted authorities Report says
that the Vgants are 500 strong and tnat tne'r Pro
ceedinRs are OF the most sangninsry nature. IL IS
Thought the militia will have to be called out 70 sup
| press the outbreak against law and order.
Concerning these difficulties there Is something
very mysterious. II has been generally known, for
l.. considerable length Of time, that there has been
trouble il that quarter Of the State and We have had
srions accoun,s Of the results of the trouble, but
nothing in regard 10 the cause or origin Of Il. The
nevspspers there are few and far between, and the
arreat mart of even them Is printed in the French
language. and they have not been Is communicative
In either language o was desirable. Their scanty
reports and privats narratives were altogether insult
cient to enable distant outsider to arrive at cor.
rect solution Of the endorsements on hand. We
should really be obliged to any Of our friends in
that region for an authentic account Of the matters in
controversy. ~
We are gratifed that Governor Wicklife has re-
paired to the scene Of disorder His presence will be
productive Of infinite good and will end, We believe,
in the prompt suppression Of iegaty and the resto-
ration Of the rule Of law and order. Cool quick in
conception and rapid in execution armed with all the
executive authority OF the commonwealth personally
popular with al, and possessed Of much tact and
judgment in cases like this with disposition to &C
commodAte where accommodation Is possible, and
with courage and nerve to confront any alterna
tive, In any manner circumstances may force upor
him, there ii hardly 1 shadow Of doubtful that be
will, in very brief period succeed in restoring 10
undiminished yigor tho partially interrupted soye
regnty Of law, without being obliged to resort t.
force.
Al al events We hope 20. We trust matters may
terminate peacsably, quietly, and as satisfactorily ii
possible, without any efdsion Of blood. But, while
do not know enough Of the history Of this unfor
tunate affair to enable us to make up sure jadg
ment on either side for above stated we vii
tell because We feel 1t our bounden duty to tell eacl
and all the leaders Of the parties having any hant
in these disturbances, that if they fail to obey th
Governors orders and force him to call out the mil
itary and place himself at their head, to execute th
sworn functions Of his high office, they will have
stern man to deal with-a man who will not fincl
from responsibility or danger. Individually, Rober
G. Wicklins is knd.hearted, generous man bu
officially, and in case like the one under considers
ton especially if the laws and the State are insulte
and outraged, through him, by disobedience to hi
lawful commands, issued In pursuance Of his swor
duty, he will prove as hard and rigid as iron. Sucl
At all events, is our estimate Of the man; and "
trust our advice will not be passed by unheededly
