Killed 9 coloTed man. The ruffians were
pursued the next day till the roads became
impassable, the heavy rains having swollen
the streams and carried away the bridges.
IL Is hoped that they will be captured
sooner or later.
It Is next to impossible In this parish to
punish any one for such an Offense as that
committed on this. aged colored man.
Men accused of mdrdeI are released
on bail, and iuries fail to convict
them. We hope for better things after
the election. If there is no change many of
the country parishes will be depopuated,
for no decent person can live among such
lawless and vicious people as now intimi-
date by threats and violence orderly and
well.disposed citizens who happen to assert
political opinions at variance with the SEN
timents of those who fought to destroy the
government of the United States.
The colored man who was so grossly out
ragged is known to be quiet, peaceable, and
respectable man --one who never gave cause
for offense,
On Saturday last the Democrats or rebels
held meeting in Covington, and when they
dispersed they shouted "Hurrah for Talia-
ferroi y "Kill the d-d niggers y This is
their last chance. If we beat them at the
polls their epitaph is written.

We clip the following from representa-
tive paper Of the Democratic party, and
print it that our readers may know
the true feeling Of the Democracy
toward Andrew johnson, The traitor.
The paper VIC refer to is too vile to
name in our columns, but our devG has
clipped this:
johnson will be impeaohed without a
doubt, or a shadow Of justice. he Is guilty
of no offense. He has committed no crime
as they charge. He is simply rock i'm the
way Of wicked revolutionists and must be
removed. He deserves impeachment for
ever consenting to be caught In Republican
company, and for not long since arresting
and hanging. Stanton, Wade,.. Butler.
Stevens, and all others Of Che smaller fry OF
traitors who seek 20 strangle the remaining
life from American liberty.
johnson is weak. He relies on She azW.
He simply protests. He is no man for the
times has no executive aoility-Zno admin-
istratiye capacity-no idea Of the danger
surrounding him. He is trusting to the
lueBc which has deserted him aa Il will de-
sert any man who has not nerve.
