CRAwLED OUT OF Ir.-As we expected and
predicted, the editor Of the organ Of the mongrel
party, published in this town, has been COMPEL
ed if not to eat his own Words at least to deny
the meaning which he evidently intended to give
them, and which everybody understood. In
speaking some. time ago in fappant and imper-
tinent manner of Mrs. L*** and Mrs. Las q
pleasant chatter-box &C., &c." whe he meant
to coyertly insult, was well understood by every
one, but when called upon by gentleman nearly
related to one of the ladies at whom his imperti
nence was plainly levelled, he showed the white
feather and in fear and trembling protested he
had allusion to colored ladies only, admitting by
so doing, what is very probably the fact, that
there are in st. Landry, colored ladies even who
hold him far beneath the honor of their ac-
quaintance H@

EY' Although not the least symptom of yellow
fever has shown itselfin our town since the death
of our amented friend, Theo. Littell, OH the 20th
of October last, it is nevertheless evident that
mt Washington, Vile Plate and other localities,
the germ of the disease yet exists. We have
three deaths more of persons who succombed to
the yellow fever, since last Saturday, within or
miles Of our town. They are: On the 9Th Mrs.
Martha j. West, aged 81 years. On the 18th.
William Ford West, her son, aged 6 years, and
on the 18th, John G..Coleman, aged So years.
All the care and attention that could have been
bestowed was so done to the patients by the
members of the Opelousas Relief Association
and Masonic Fraternity, for which they have the
sincere thanks and acknowledgment of the fam
lies .rl-

Richmond, Nov. 9,-An excited Repub-
lican meeting was held at the Headquar-
ters OF the blacks last night. A COM
mittee was appointed to wait on General
Schofeld, and request him TO order city
elections. Lewis Lindsay, colored dele
gate elected to the Convention, made a
speech. Abiding to the discharge of ne
groes for voting the Radical ticket, he
said: Before any of his children should
suffer for food, the streets of Richmond
should run knee deep in blood. He
thanked God that the negroes had learn
ed to use swords and guns" All efforts
of the more. peaceful negroes to stop
these demonstrations were hooted down.
The citizens here are apprehensive of
trouble. Wardwell and other white
Radicals left the meeting.
