The Chase and Pope Murders.

The New Orleans Advocate of Oct.
24th, gives the following particulars of
the brutal murder of Judge Valentine
Chase, and Sheriff Pope, in St. Mary's
Parish, Louisiana. Judge Chase was
formerly citizen of Hamilton, Ohio,
and had recently been elected
Parish Judge. The murders were de-
IiberateIy planned.
The Sheriff occupied rooms in the
Planters Hotel. opposite the Court
House, in the rear range of apartments
and on the corner. One side of the
square occupied by the hotel opened
upon the alleyway. Our friend was
sitting on the gallery overlooking the
court yard; at his side was Judge Chase
quietly conversing. The assassins en-
tered stealthily from the alley, coming
in under the gallery, rushed up stairs
and opened fire upon both gentlemen.
Several shots entered the side of Col.
Pope's face, who at once fell and crawl
ed upon his hands and knees into the
room. The Judge, not being hit fatally
struggled to get away from his murder
ers, rushed down the steps, and in the
ward had another struggle with the
fiends. who shot and stabbed him re-
peatedly. He got away again, out OF
the yard, and around to the rear of the
hotel, facing upon the bayou; here the
fatal shot was fred the ball entering the
back of his head, where he fell and was
left till morning. No "guard placed
over the body as stated by the papers
and every one knew where it was. He
did not die Immediately, but was heard
groaning most of the night, though no
one dared go to his assistance. When
the firing took place, Mrs. Pope was at
the bedside of the landlords wife, Mrs.
O'Neil. She at once ran across the
yard and up the steps, gaining the gal
lery, while the assassins were strug-
Cling there with Judge Chase. Her
husband was then dying and could give
her no sign of of recognition. Most of

the night she paced the gallery IN view
of his mangIed body. Friends, Tor
whom she sent, feared TO respond, or
else were not permitted to receive her
message. With difficulty could the
landlord, otherwise a kind hearted
man, be persuaded to enter her room
and stretch out the body before it stiff
fened in death. Being refused coffin
and heaFse she bravely kept vigil be-
side the beside of the beloved remains
until Monday Morning-the deed hav-
ing been committed on Saturday eve
ming about dark. What a Sabbath to
that crushed widow, alone with her
dead husband and her living infant

her word that they would gladly do so
were it not for the opprobrium 1t would
provoke on account Of her husband s
politics. One precious woman called,
and fearless of the danger incurred, did
all IN her power for the bereaved-lt
was Mrs. Parks, teacher of the eolored
school in our church. All honor to her
and the womanlv nature she adorDs.
At the COrOnor's inquest Mrs. Pope
charged the death Of her husband upon
editor bennett. 1t is said that on FRI
dav bennett, Hafieigh, and Tucker, left
town, returning on Sunday; that the
roads and bayou were picketed ITO
catch the Carpet-Baggers; and that the
editors of the Republican paper, the
Register, had escaped; also Judge Fisk,
the Registrars, and others, who had
been marked as victims.
As in the case of Mr.. Bentley, at Ope-
lousas, and in every other case on re-
cord, the outraged parties used all their
influence to prevent retaliation, hoping
for justice and future protection from
the law, and dreading an appeal to vio-
Ience. Mrs. Pope, and the friends of
the deceased, were besought by the citi-
zens to quiet the people whose leaders
had been so brutally murdered, and it
was done,

TAXATIoN on RoNns.

The exemption from taxation was
a part of the original obligation, hav-
ing of course, a positive value which
entered into the price of the bond at
the time of subscription. This additi-
onal price was taken from the pocket
of the subscriber and transferred to
the national treasury, where it has
been used for the public advantage. 1t
Is so much property to the credit of
the bonholder, which it is gravely
proposed to contiscate, Rebel proper
ty you will not confscate; but you are
considering how to confscate that of
the loyal citizen. Taxation Of the
bonds is confscation.
The whole case can be stated with
perfect simplicity. To tax the bonds
is to break the contract because you
have the power. 1t is an imitation of
the Roman governor, a lieutenant Of
Caesar, who, after an agreement by the
people of Gaul to pay a certain subsidy
monthly, arbitrarily changed the num-
Der of months to fourteen. The sub
traction from the interest by taxation
is kindred in dishonesty to theincrease
of the Gaulish subsidy by adding to
the months. OF course, in private
contracts between merchant and mer-
chant, no such thing can be done. But
there can be no rule Of good faith not
binding on the nation, while there are
exceptional reasons for extraordinary
scrupulousness on the part of the ma
ton. As the transaction is vast, and
especially as the nation is conspicuous.
what is done becomes an example to
the world which history can not for
get. A nation can not afford to do
mean thing. There is another reason
founded on the helpless condition of
the creditor, who has no power to en-
force his claim, whether of principal
or interest. 1t was Charles James Fox
who once exclaimed against a PROPOSE
ton kindred to that now made: "Ohl
no, no! his claims are doubly binding
who trusts to the Tectitude of another.
This is only according to an admitted
principle in the laws of war, constrain-
ing the stronger Power to the best of
faith in dealing with a weaker Power,
because the latter is without the cap
aeity to redress a wrong. This benign
principle, taken from the laws of war,
cannot be out of place in the laws of
peace; and l invoke it now as a sufd-
protection against taxation of bonds,
even if common sense in its plainest
lessons, and the rule of right in its
most imperious precepts, did not far
bid the thing

Why Run Up Stairs-We do not
run in the street, nor in the yard or
garden; why then run up stairs and
then complain that the stairs are so
high? Now, there is really butlittle
more difficulty in ascending several
flights ofstairs than there is in walk
ing straight line, provided we take
sufficient time to do it, which should
be about twice as long as we should be
in walking the same distance in the
street. Walk up stairs slowly; rest at
each landing; again walk steadily; and
you will reach the top fight without
exhaust ion or fatigue.

motive can be imputed. IC is desirable
that the people OF Ohio should conider
it dispassionately and no time is more
favorable than the present, when the
crisis is past and the voice of partisans
silent. We appeal to their good sense,
their Judgment, their sense of equity:
ought not this absurdity to 90 the way
of the Black Laws and other relies of
barbarism that were Wrenched cut of
American soil by the violence Of the
great civil conflicts
We shall never rid ourselves of this
troublesome question till we have the
courage and manhood 70 take hold of
and deal with it as the people Of Iowa
and Minnesota have dealt with If. Bel1ev-
ing, ourselves, in impartial suffrage,
and regarding all Determinations based
upon race and color as denominations,
creating inequalities that are not justi-
fed by reason and should not be allow
ed to exist in a State, that processes to
deal fairly and justly with its citizens,
we insist upon reconsideration of the
question by the good people of Ohio. If
it be not now, yet 1t will come The
agitation of questions springing from
inequalities of rights and privileges
will never and ought never to cease, till
the citizens of the State, native or adopt
ed white or black, are recognized as
equally entitled to all civil and politi-
cal immunities, the fullhllment of the
conditions thereof being left to their
own energy and enterprise. Make the
conditions what you please, but let
them bear impartially upon all. To
prescribe men born into the world IN
der ban which no effort of their own
can possibly remove, IS an injustice
that must be done away if we hope to
remain harmonious and happy peO-
pie, secure under a government that, as
it tolerates no unjust inequalities, finds
its strength and the assurance of its
prosperity in the affections and inter-
ests of all alike.-CI13. Commercial.
To our mind the obvious way to set
tie this question speedily, finally and
universally is by amendment to the
constitution of the United States, rati-
fed by the several Legislatures. Let
it be submitted.

The Question of Universal Suffrage

The people of the States of Iowa and
Minnesota have taken hold of the ques-
ton of negro suffrage, and disposed of
it finally, by abolishing all absurd dis
examinations. We say finally, for their
is no retrOgression where preiudices un-
supported by reason and common sense
go down in the march of enlightened
progress.
It is not probable that in either of
these States there is any particular af-
fiction or admiration for the negro, nor
is it likely that there will be greater
danger of the social equality of
the races in Ohio or Michi-
gan, where il has been thought necessa-
ry for the viDdicatiOn of the superiority
of the white race, to continue the politi-
cal disqualification of men of color.
One has but to attend the polls on an
election day to witness the pitiful
and powerful farce enacted under the
visible admixture system of Ohio
When man of mixed blood presents
himself to vote, the judges of election
are constituted committee of investi-
CATION of his lineage. This is necessary
TO determine the exact amount of negro
blood that courses through his veins
and hushes into his face as the custo-
mary questions are put TO him under
oath. If, in the opinion of the judges,
the white blood perpOnderates, if he is
more than aquadroon and less than
mulatto, his vote is received; if the
black blood is in excess, he is denied a
privilege that, on the sound Democrat
ic principle of no taxation without re-
presentation, he is clearly entitled to.
If unreasoning prejudice ever drew a
more absurd and imbecile line of dis
tinotion between man and man, we
have yet to hear of it. 1t is a reproach
to the intelligence of the people of Ohio,
and an Offense to all idea of equality
Were the distinction founded upon
property or education, and made with
out reference to race or color, it would
be tolerable but there is absolutely no
defense, whatever, to be made for sys-
tenn that determines political qualifca-
tion by the presence or absence of an
ounce more or less of African or Ceu-
casian blood.
We speak of this now, when the cleo
tions are over, and when no political

In 1863, the county had in meadow
p, OBJ acres, which produced 4O,O64
tons of hay. IN clover, 1914 acres
which gave 4.233 tons of hay; and
1924 bushels of seed. These returns
furnish no correct idea of the amount of
clover grown In the county, as the
tables furnished the assessors con-
tain no column for "elover and timothy
meadows - for In these there is vastly
more clover grown IN the aggregate
than where the crop IS grown by it
self.
The eastern townships have much
the largest acreage in meadow. Thus
Berkshire has / .643 acres, while Rad
nor has but 1866 Kingston has 3
163 acres, (being the largest acreage in
meadow in the county, while Troy
has but ,463; but the yield per acre
in Troy is better than IN Kingston, be-
ing 2,633 tons, while Kingston has
but 3,077 tons.
Leaving out the fractional township
of Marlborough, the township having
the least land in meadow Is Thompson,
which has only 734 acres. Kingston
reports but one acre, and Trenton but
62 acres of clover.
Pastures to the returns
made by the land appraisers in 1859
Delaware county had at that time A.
658 acres in meadow and pasture. The
average acreage in meadow and clover
for the period of six years, from 1858
to 1864, was about p 900 acres, which
deducted from the amount reported by
the land appraisers as above, would
give US over thirty-three thousand
az r,F 10, \ ho. raaO n
pastures. How much grass these scres
produce, We have no returns to show,
but it Is extremely probable that it
win require, on the average, about two
acres of these pastures to craze a full
grown COW or OK, which is but little
more than half the grass our lands
ought to produce
Properly managed pasture lands
should yield larger profit than any
others; but producing no more than
the estimate above stated, the land at
$50 to $50 Is not a good investment. A
large portion of our pasture lands are
clay soils. which in eight or ten years
after they are seeded down, become so
compact that full crop cannot be pro-
duced for the reasons already stated.
They must be broken up to the depth
of eight OF ten inches in the fall or
winter, if possible. After being thus
exposed to the action of the frost in
winter, let it be exposed to the ameli-
Grating influence of the sun in sum
mer, by the constant stirring required
in the cultivation of the corn crop.
When again put in grass, though in
tended only for pasture, liberal sup
ply of red clover should be sown with
the other grasses, not so much on ac-
count of the pasture it will produce.
(though for one or two years this will
be a very important item, as the effect
it will have with its extensive roots in
enriehing the soil and rendering it fri.
able and mellow, thus promoting the
growth of the other grasses. When the
clover has made good start, about the
latter part of the month of May, good
dressing with plaster must not on any
account be omitted, say a bushel and a
half to the acre, to be soWn in the
morning when the dew is on.
