New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-11-27
THE GOVERNOR STILL FIRM.

Contrary to the predictions of the astute
phophets of the boilers and new tangled
Christian Republicans and others of the
soreheaded tribe, Governor WarmOth has
not ''sold out to the Democrats" He is
still a Republican, and is giving commits
sions to colOred men elected to Office, as
readily now as he did two years ago. His
manly proclamation just prior to the cleo
ton, certainly contributed no little part to-
ward the maintenance Of peace and order in
this city. His welltimed speeches during
his tour through the parishes seem to have
convinced tho bloody fraternity Of the
bowie knife and revolver, that peace
is preferable to riot and bloodshed. He has
brought the peace and law breaking element
of the population of this State to reason
ing standpoint; and it is fair to presume
that having accomplished this much in the
right direction, he will continue till our fair
State is entirely rescued from the rule of
outlaws.
The Republican party is stronger to-day
in this State and city than ever; and for
this happy result great deal is due to the
wise management and shrewd action of
Governor Warmoth. If the Governor then
has secured, to great extent, the success
of our party, it is but just to expect that he
shall continue to receive the support OF
every Republican in his administration

to that Recommendation OF General Hal

sisting the civil authorities in maintaining
peace, collecting the revenue, etc, which has
become SO common Of late. The duties OF
the soldiery in this connection are not pre-
scribed so clearly by statute that the officers
can understand their rights and duties, and
the civil agents and authorities often eX-
pect more than can be rightly or lawfully
done.
think the soldiers ought not to be ex-
pected to make individual arrests, or to do
any act OF violence, except in their organ
lied capacity as a posse cOmitatus, duly sum-
moned by the United States Marshal, and
acting in his personal presence. Yet If it
is deemed lawful and proper that the SOL
diers should do more than this, concur
with General Halleck that Congress should
so enact in clear and distinct terms.

J.C. Matthew, swOrn.-Is Justice Of the
Peace; knows that there was some excite
ment existing about the ballot boxes being
taken away; the witness Went with Sch0n-

was obtained, and the witness, with SchOn-
berg and Lawes, proceeded to divers

saw them again, but heard of their murder
Frederick E. Burge-Was commissioner
Of election; was there when Schonberg and
Lawes were killed; they came to the point
where Fisher had stationed himself, who
told them they could not pass; Lawes in
sisted on passing, and drew pistol; Fisher
peIsisting, struggle ensued, and Lawes
fired, killing SchOnberg accidentally:
Lawes then seized Fisher by the throat and
threw him to the ground; they struggled,
and Fisher turned him and got on top, and
then ten or twelve shots were fired at Lawes;
Fisher then interfered, and said they must
not shoot Lawes; the interference of Fisher
Lawes was not killed then, but when wit
ness left, was standing by the fence, bleed
ing; the two divers did not arrive until
some time after Lawes was shot;
Witness had been with Fisher all the
time, and had not seen the divers before.
The reason that witness did not assist
Lawes was, being the only other white man
there, and he was afraid of the same fate.
He afterwards offered to assist I4awes and
to have his wound dressed. Fisher took
Lawes to quarters and afterwards they
both came back. Lawes wanted to 90 to a
certain plantation, and witness left him sit
ting there with several people with him, as
if to attend on him, and next morning saw
his corpse lying by the fence

sooner or later to satisfy the folks at home.
Respecting the time and manner OF effect

Question: But you have the satisfaction
of having accomplished the unification Of

Answer: Oh, attribute the halting and
partial failure OF German unity to the delay
resulting from these opposing schemes; had
my advice been followed, Bavaria and
Wurtemburg would have been carried on

the grand scheme Of united Fatherland anu

EYRiCH's CIRCULATING LIBRARY.-It will
doubtless be glad news to the reading people
Of New Orleans to read the announcement
made hy Mr.. A. Eyrich, bookseller, No. l30
Canal street. A first class circulating
library is really a boon in any community
particularly in this, where our people have
SO much spare time on their hands during
the duh summer months. The amount Of
valuable information difused by them can
not be over-estinated, while they at the
same time afford the best source OF amuse-
ment. Mr.. Eyrich is particularly
qualified to direct such an enterprise
by his well known culture, public spirit
and thorough knowledge of the book trade.
The terms of subscription for the library
are very liberal indeed-tvelve dollars per
annull., six dollars for six months, four dol
lars per quarter, and five cents per day.
Yearly subscribers will be allowed FIVE
volumes at time; half-yearly, three vol
umes, and quarterly one volume, TO be
retained twenty days, if desired. The Ii
brary viii be opened at eight A. M, and
closed at eight P. NJ. On Sundays it will be
open from ten o'clock A. NJ, and closed ut
twelve NJ. We sincerely hope that Mr..
Eyrich will be properly supported in this
enterprise, and that his Circulating Library
will have full opportunity to work the good
it is capable.

Mr.. Cars course during the last session
