THE OPELOUSASJ JOURNAL
~OPELOUSAS, LA:


We publish an article from the Secular
Department of the New Orleans Advocate,
in regard to this parish. We give it a
place on account of its unusually moderate
tone. The Secular Department of the Ad-
vocate is edited by Hon. Hugh J. Campbell
of the State Senate.
We believe the persons mentioned in the
Advocates article, or some others, were
killed. bnt not on account of political opin-
ion. We are informed that part of them
were white and part colorcd, and that they
belonged to a band Of horse thieves and
plundererS infesting the western part of this
parish and Calrasieu. The suppoSition is
that they were killed by those who suffered
from their deprcdations-it being impossi-
bic to obtain relief by the slow process and
uncertainty of law.
This band of thieves have driven of hor-
ses and cattle from this parish BY fftics
and hundreds at a TIM; and fears have
been entertained that stock raising, to
which a large portion of the parish is main
ly adapted, will be in a great measure aban-
doned for want of security against the
thieves. They have been so numerous and
multiplied SO fast as to make it impossible
to arrest them all, at one time or in detail;
and generally, when any of them are arres-
ted, they furnish bond and security for
their appearance before court, and, on trial,
prove an ah1i, or their innocence, by a
score of witnesses if necessary. Under
such circumstances, we do not wonder that
those who have had their property stolen,
are tempted to take the law into their own
hands. .
Only a few days since a peddler was
robbed of his goods and money, in this
same western part of the parish, by a body
of men in disguise. An affidavit was made
and the accused parties arrested they were
released on bond for their appearance before
court. Now, owing to the disguise, the
prosecutor may fail to establish their guilt
as required by law; but the good citizens
ofthe neighborhood know the guilty par
ties without having witnessed the crime,
1or they are thoroughly acquainted with
the history and practices of each of their
n%eighbors. Therefore, when they heard
that the peddler had been robbed. thew
knew the names of the parties, for only
certain persons would be guilty of the
crime. In relation to this peddler affair,
we have heard it reported that if the law
does not relieve the honest citizens of the
thieves, they intend to relieve themselves.
We are not arguing the question whether
individuals are ever justifable in exercising
the functions of law, but simply wish to
make it appear, that killing criminals that
the law cannot reach is a different thing
from killing men on account of their politi.
cal opinions. We venture to say that no
peaceable Republican is in any danger at
present Of being molested IN this parish,
unless by that very class whose deaths are
mentioned in the article of the Advocate.
AS soon as we gain the necessary iHfor-
nation, We will reply more at length

The NAN WHO ATTEMPTED TO SELL MoRRrs'
1sLAND.-A brief mention of an attempt to sell
Morris Island, made by q swindler in the
North, has already appeared. From the Pro.
vidsnce, Rhode Island, Herald, we learn that
about the first Of this year . person claiming
Charleston, g. O., as his home, and calling
himself Colonel Andrew =. Rodgers, went to
Providence and put mp at the Aldrich House.
He patronized the livery stables, smoked the
best cigars and drank the choicest liquors-aI
on tick. Being possessed of overpowering
cheek, and showing no appearance Of anything
like shire ewdness or ability to carry out swim
die, no one suspected him, and he continued
mis- course without interruption, borrowing
fives and tens Of his many acquaintancesu
and always forgetting to pay. He said
he Was the owners Of Morris island, and
selected Mr.. Frank G., ALLEN as broker to
assist him in the disposal Of it. At the same
tune he deposited in the hand, Of Mr.. Allen
draft. drawn by himself, and accepted by an
ostensible party, J. p. Klingle, of Washington,
D. G. He informed Mr. Kilborn that he had
deposited that amount sS5OO-in money with
Mr.. Allen, but that 1t would be detrimental to
his interests in the sale. Of his property to
draw IL. 3ri5 So 40 VI aiEa .da .r&
He gave drafts on responsible parties, which
were dishonosed and his viIlany was exposed.

recruiting tor the Cuban army, and made seve-
raj Intellectual attemptS in New York to raise
money from the Junta. lis a- M
Rodgers ID . 'preciods rascal. In 1851 he on.
elisted 90 Andrew J. livingston, in Company @,
8d Georgia Regiment. He attempted to desert,
but was caught and sentenced to be shot. The
papcrs OF the court-martial were lost, and he
escaped the shooting, but in 1859 was drummed
out or service: Shortly after. by some rascality,
ne obtained captains commission, and raised
company Of cavalry. which soon became a
terror to all good people on account Of their
robberies and other lawless acts committed on
the people. Rodgers kept his headquarters and
and an Office in Richmond, where he also car
ried on the substitute business.
Ia 1885 Rodgers went to New York from sa-
vannah, taking with hum forged railroad re-
eeipts for alsrge quantity OF cotton on the line
OF the Gulf Railroad. On these bogus receipts
he obtained large sua0uut Of money. and 10.
turned to Savannah with the agents Of the par
ties to whom he had sold the cotton, and to
whom be waste make The deliveries. "a steam.
er was chartered and everything made ready
for the trip. when he said he had forgotten
some important papers, and went for them.
