DAsrARDLY OUTRAGE IN MERIDEN.-A cor
respondent of the Mendoza Bulletin, under date
of Nov. 9th, writes from the village of Meridian,
in this county:
The two villains came to the house of Mrs. II.
who lives with her mother, and inquired if they
could get washing done, aAd were told they
could. They then attempted to take improper
liberties with Mrs. Hartman. The mother, an
old lady, near seventy years of age, in sndeavsr.
ing to assist her daughter, was knocked down by
one of the rutiians, dragged out of the house and
treated in the most brutal manner. They then
sprang upon the daughter, intending to accom-
plish their hellish designs, but the resistance
and screams of the two women alarmed them and
thoy decamped, but not before they had shame
fully beaten and bruised tho two ladies'

SHERIFF MAXWELL

We are informed by morning cotem-
porary that Sheriff Maxwell has deter
mined to ignore and disobey statute Of
tie State entitled ian act to regulate the
appointment of deputy sheriffs in the par
ishes of Orleans, Jefferson and St. Ber-
nard, and to restrict the powers of She
riffs in the Metropolitan Police District to
the discharge of the duties imposed upon
them by law" II Sheriff Maxwell per-
sists in his violation of law, if indeed he
so intends; and if the Legislature does its
duty when it assemblies, then Sheriff Max
we'll will be impeached and removed.
1t makes nothing to the defense of an
officer of the law that he believes the sta
tute unconstitutional. He is sworn to ad-
minister it as he finds it upon the statute
books. The power to decide it unconsti-
tutional and void is not with him. 1t ia
very easy to imagine the nulity OF law
when ones sympathies are involved.

as usual; took breakfast, and then wrote
for some time; feeling very tired went on
the gallery; and I saw large number Of
the people assembled in front of the house;
l asked them what was the matter; they
stated that they had been called upon by
Mr.. Ong to go mp to his place; that there
was trouble up there; that Mr.. Ong's life
was in danger, and they wished to go.
told them that they must not do it; that the
laws were made to protect every one;
that the parochial authorities would
take the matter in hand-referriug
to what had already occurred. This
seemed to pacify them, and l thought
l had satisfied them, and went in. In
little time went out again and found
them assembled in large numbers and de-
termined to go up saying Mr.. Ong had sent
for them again and that they we're bound to
CO." / tried to pacify them egaiR, but
found it Impossible, until proposed to go
myself up to the crossing and see what was
going on. That seemed to satisfy them
and | started on horseback. When
reached the crossing found about fifty
negroes, more or less, and soon after some
others continued coming up, when sudden
ly we found ourselves attacked and the ne
groes, some of whom were killed and seYe-
raj wounded, retreating.

and retained up to this evening by the gen

GRANTS FAREWELL ADDRESS
TO HIS ARMY

The general order of General Grant, ad-
dressed to the soldiers of the United States
when the war was over, will now be read
with interest. Here 1t is:
SOLDIERS OF THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED
6TATRs--By your patriotic devotion to your
country in the hour of danger and alarm,
your magnificent fighting, bravery and en-
durance, you have maintained the suprema-
cy Of the Union and the Constitution,
Overthrown all armed opposition to the
enforcement of the laws and the proclama
ton forever abolishing slavery-the cause
and pretext Of the rebellion-and opened
the way to the rightful authorities to restore
order and inangurate peace on permanent
and enduring basis on every foot of Ameri-
can soil. Your marches, sieges and battles
in distance, duration, resolution and bril-.
Aancy Of results, dim the luster of the
worlds past military achievements, and
will be the patriots precedent in defense of
liberty and right In all time to come. In
obedience to your country's call you left
your homes and families, and volunteered
In her defense. Victory has cn bned your
Salor, and secured the purpose of your
patriotic hearts; and with the gratitude of
your countrymen, and the highest honors a
great and free nation can accord, you will
soon be permitted to return to your homes
and families, conscious Of having discharg-
ed the highest duty of American citizens
TO achleve these glorious triumphs, and
secure to yourself fellow-countrymen and
posterity, the blessings Of free Institutions,
tens Of thousands Of your gallant comrades
have fallen, and sealed the priceless legacy
with their blood. The graves of these
grateful nation bedews with tears honors
their memories, and will ever cherish and
support their stricken families.r

DEMOCRATIC EXCUSES,

The attempt to justify intolerance anG
violence toward white Republicans be
cause they have maintained the rights o.
the black man to have and express bis own
political opinions, is the most infamous
feature in this history of Reconstruction
That the loyal men here, whether from the
North or native born, have sustained the
negroes in their equal political rights, is
true; that they have assisted them in or
ganizing themselves as they spontaneously
focked to the Republican camp, is true;
that they have advised the colored men
to assert in a lawful and becom-
ing manner those liberties and rights
of citizenship which they won in assisting
to maintain the government, is also true;
but that the loyal men of the South have
urged or even suggested to the blacks the
preparation of any illegal act, or resort to
force in any case except in pure self-de-
tense, is base talsehood. The Republi-
can party in this State numbers in its ranks
many Of the most talented and respectable
of probity and social stand
ing. To accuse these of melting others to
use " the kuife, the pistol and the torch" is
as foolish as it is false.
