r,Ew ORLEANS, Oct. 7.-Lieutenant Lee of the
Freedmen,s Bureau, who was sent by Major
Hutchins in charge of the Bureau here, to invest-
gate the troubles at Opelousas reported this morn
ing that the immediate cause of the outbreak was
a personal difficulty between the editor of the st.
Landry Progress, a Republican paper, and three
citizens, growing out of offensive articles. The
editor, named Benty who was also school teacher,
was caned. , $50,
A report got abroad that Bently had been killed,
causing much excitement, and bringing together
number of the freedmen These were ordered by
citizens to disperse, which most of them did. One
BODY however, of twenty-five or thirty refused to
disperse when ordered, and fight ensued, in which
two negroes were killed and four or five wounded
and five or six whites wounded two very severely,
and number of horses belonging to the whites
killed. Eight of the colored men were captured and
lodged in JAIL the balance escaping.
During the excitement the material OF the st
Landry Progress scattered and portion de-
stroyed. The troubles existed only in the parish of
st. Landry. In a radius of twenty miles from Ope-
lousas and the adjoining parishes quiet exists
Lieutenant Lee reports that he could learn of but
two whites killed and eight or ten wounded; i've
negroes killed and fifteen or twenty wounded, but
expressed an opinion that the number of casualties
viii exceed these, the negroes in some instances
resisted the disarming and had to be overpowered.
None of the white Radicals suffered except Bently,
and he only in the loss of printing material and the
Gaming he received. Lieutenant Lee reports that
quiet is restored, and everybody pursuing ordinary
ayocations, and no further trouble is apprehended
The white inhabitants of the parish outnumbered
the blacks. Armed mounted patrols are still
kent ug.

Judge Hnre.

The following card, signed by members of both
political parties commends itself 10 the earnest at
tention of thoughtful citizens The loss of such a
man as Judge Hare would not only be sincerely felt
10y the profession which thus bears testimony to his
merit, but would be grave public misfortune. His
profound learning, his vigorous intellect spotess
character, and his long experience eminently
qualify him for the post he has filed with such dis
unctiOn to himself and such advantage TO the COM
munity, and we do not permit ourselves to doubt
that he will be triumphanty reelected
To the Electors of the City of Philadclphia-It
will be your duty, on the 18th instant, TO elect
President Judge of the District Court for the city
and county of Philadelphia. The Honorable j. 4.
Clark Hare, who has been on that Bench for nearly
twenty years, is "A candidate for reelection.
The principle seems now 20 be established in
Philadelphia that the judiciary must be lifted
above mere party politics, and that when pure and
capable Judges have acquired respect and expert
ence by long services they shall not be subject to
the ordinary chances OF an election. In 1861,
Judge SharswOod was nominated by both parties,
and the District Court remained unchanged. The
best men of both parties united in 1867 TO re-eect
Judge Ludlow, who had been ten years in office.
Judge Hare, whose judicial services have continued
for nearly twenty years, Will receive, we are
satisfied a similar support.
A frequent change of Judges is public mis-
fortune. When those who have by years of dis
cipline and labor reached habit Of judicial inter
course which tends to harmonize views and facili-
tate administration are lost TO us, and and un-
trained men take their places, evils and embarrass-
ments arise which only those in our position can
fully understand. We trust that such a result may
not be reached in the District Court
The undersigned, members Of the Philadelphia
Bar, unite in testifying TO the eminent purity and
ability of Judge Hare, and TO his long and tried
services on the Bench and in asking earnestly that
the principle so fully established in the just
referred to shall not be forgotten at the coming
election. Party conventions may insist upon pre-
senting rival candidates, but conservative citizens
of both sides will support tried and faithful
