patch was received here to day from
Franklin, La, as follows: This OF,
flee has been attacked. Tho Regis
ter, published in Franklin, st.
Mary's Parish, was sacked last night,
press destroyed, type scattered.
The editor left for New Orleans
this morning. The dispatch says
the citizens of Franklin and sur
rounding country are doing all in
their power TO preserve order. Ne
giocs arc making very bold threats
but have not yet madeany attempt to
carry them into execution. Tho
town and parish are quiet at pres
cnt.
The City Of Jefferson, adjoining
New Orleans has been considerably
excited for several days been con
sidcrably excited for several days,
over public imbroglio, that parish
having been included in a lately
created metropolitan police district.
An officer was appointed and sent
to Lake Charles. The existing au-
thorities refused to surrender the
city property, intending to have the
matter tested in the courts.
The mctropolitans made several
unsuccessful attempts to take pos
session by force, making no appeal
to the courts, and finally established
a station oftheir own, placing police
men on beats. A number Of these,
together with the metropolitan cap
tain, were arrested and released on
bond. Last night at midnight a
notorious negro named Sandy Pack
er, said he would shed blood if any
of the loyal league were arrested,
having sword and cutlass in pos
session. While an officer of the
force was guarding II :.
church during the night, several
negroes were arrested for parading !;
the streets, armed with enfield rifles
and U S. cartridge boxes and am =.
A rumor is afioat that the metro
politans intend to attempt forcible =
possession, which the existing au- .
thortics will resist. The Jefferson =
elected at the recent
election are willing to submit to y
judicial decision, but refuse to sur :,
render otherwise. :.
Negroes are congregating to-day :.
