EDITOR REPUBLcAN-The unterrified
composed of ex-tLuggs and rebels, met al
our Courthouse yesterday. aud had rough
time of it. The leaders of the Democratic
party, in this parish, A. W. Walker, A.
Manns and others of the party from New
Orleans, brought into this quiet country
place, per steamer A. G. Brown, about one
thousand of the very worst men it has
ever been our lot to meet.
They had meeting of about 1900. of
which 1850 came from New Orleans, about
ten colored men of this parish, and the
balance our white population, the respect
able portion Of which did not attend the
| meeting.
The New Orleans roughs became drunk
early in the day--in fact they come here
drunk.
They destroyed tie fences around the
courthouse. stole every orange there was
on the trees on the small places adjacent to
the courthouse, and not content with this,
they destroyed the trees in some instances.
Some of the influential Democrats started
the report that at about two miles below
the place of their meeting there was a
gang of negroes on the road; preventing
their colored friends from attending the
Democratic humbug and that Mr.. Ong was
the instigator of this. The object Of this
report was to have this mob of rufians
start down the road to Mr.. Ongs house,
and take him out and hang him. as, they
threatened. How did those professional
murderers Of New Orleans know
that Mr., Ong held political views different
from their OWL, They went down the road
as far as the Mllaudon plantation, and after
INDUCING in several fights among them
selves, and making raid on the cane crop
on that place, they about-faced and return
ed to the courthouse. e ~ q Sa'|o isys

HATCH ON THE RAMPAGE,

In the language of Mr.. X. N. Pepper
"the event that was to have arriven has
arroven."
Tie St. Louis delegation of Democrat.
came yesterday. and was welcomed las
evening By those singular specimens o
chiValry called the 'Blair Knights
We had felt in anticipation rather pro.
found pity for this ST. Louis delegation
considering the speeches they would be
obliged to listen TO. But We feel it nc
longer. With Confederate Colonel Hatch
| at their head, they can take care
of themselves, and for every volley
of verbs and adjectives which may be fired
at them they can return fusilade u
rhetoric, compared with which Chinese
battle is silence profound.
General Bragg presented to the audience
| Col. W. II. Hatch, of st. Louis. the gentle
man selected by the delegation from that
city to speak for them the feelings which
had prompted them to come two thousand
miles to extend to US the right hand of fell
lowship. Col, Hatch then delivered the
subioined address, frequently interrupted
by bursts of pplause-applause, how
ever. quickly quieted, lest by it some por-
tons of the honied eloquence might be
lost
And then " Colonel" Hatch sailed in,
and Elijah Pogram in his palmiest days
was outdone. Here is a specimen of what
we presume to be" honied eloquence:"
blair knights in this struggle you
have chosen a name of which any people
nav well be proud. NJ man living to-day
combines q greater number of the noble
and heroic qualities of true knight than
Frank Z. Blair, of Missouri. Brave as
lion and gentle as a woman, steadtast to
his plighted faith and true to his troth, ter
rible in battle and magnauimous in victory;
generous in power, naughty and defiant in
defeat. the pride Of proud profession, the
strength of a strong political party, and one
of his country's highest hopes.
/ have known him long and well. Ispeak
from an intimate knowledge of his chsrac
ter and close study Of his life. l have
crossed swords with him at the hustings
and on the battlefield, and speak from ex-
perience of his power, and bear testimony
to his valor He has been subjected to all
the tests which try mems souls, yet stands
before the American people to-day with
out blot upon his fair escutcheon, or the
stain of single ignoble act upon his
honor, his hands unclotted with cruelty or
oppression. H4- ..t r-
OH
Will any one who knows the Blair family
in general, and Frank in particular. lay
his hand on his heart, whether that heart be
"chivalric" or merely manly, and assert
that he can read that paragraph without
grin?
But the "great reception" is not without |
its uses. As, for instance: Is it not one of
the finest revenges of history that Mr.. |
Bragg, and Mr.. Hatch, and Mr.. Hays |
should be taking the leading parts in the |
enterprise of bringing an
American flag from St. Louis to New Or
leans?
So the chariot of the national progress
oils on, and these flies buzzing on its axles
Try out, what a dust we raise"
