The Grant Parish Affair.


There seems to be much excitement in
recorder and the burning of the residence
Of the parish judge, which we noticed last
week. The matter is shrouded in mystery
from present accounts. No one entertains
doubt bat that the Judge and recorder
were both shot at and the house of the for.
mer burnt, but some affect to think and
argue that White, the recorder, was not
killed, but that the whole affair was precon-
certed ON his part to effect some collateral
purpose. At any rate, human bones and
teeth were found in the ashes of the burnt
house in which it was said he was killed
and then consumed by the flames.
1t does seem to us that any sensible
man would pronounce against the perpetra-
not only upon the guilty wretches that COM
init them, but also upon the good and vir-
tuOus Of all classes. No matter how base
and vicious and abandoned man may be-,
there is NO excuse for his summary execu-
ton, for either supposed or actual crimes,
80 long as we have laws, and courts and
.iuries to punish the violatOr of the law.
We have all these. But there is still a
higher moral force than all the codes and
tribunals Of the country, which ought and
must lie engratted upon the body polite
before these horrible tragedies will disap-
pear from the land. Public sentiment must
display itself in antagonisn to these deeds.
Back up your law anG your judges with the
moral countenance of stern and intrepid
public sentiment, and those disgracetul
outcheries will cease. As we'll undertake
to dam up the Mississippi as to expect pro-
gress, Immigration, wealth and prosperity
III the country while such acts continue to
go unpunished. 49, 80

In the Fifth District Court o suit was
brought for representation on lot of furni-
ture sold, and claim set mp for the money,
which is unpaid. There were other suits,
based on promissory notes.

Suicide.

We make the following extract from the
jackson Wing and Tribune of October Ii, in
relation to one of the most horrid and shock.
ing suicides that ever was known in that
place. Felix Lodeaux, Frenchman, who
attempted to cut his throat some six weeks
ago, while passing through on the New Or.
leans train, committed suicide on Mon.
day night last. He was left here after this a +
tempt to kill himself on the train, to have
his wound dressed. and has been staying at
the residence Of William Lyons, on Main
street, ever since. On Sunday night, about
eight o'clock, being alone in an up stairs
room, he stabbed himself with butcher
knife three times in the, left side, twice in
the thigh, and then cut his abdomen open.
and with his hands tore out his bowels.
sHis falling upon the floor and his groans
attracted the attention Of his wife aud the
family OF Mr.. Lyons, and rushing upstairs
thew found the desperate man weltering in
his own blood, stretched upon the floor, his
bowels out, and in the agonies of death.
The alarm was given and quite o crowd
gathered in. DR.. John Fenner did all he
could to relieve the poor mans suffering,
but still In about an hour he died terrible
death. Temporary insanity 10 the presuma-
bic cause Of the tragedy, as the dying man,

CACGHr AT LAsT.-Yesterday morning
citizen Gray when about starting from the
Sixth District for the First, noticed o man
carrying . bundle, which excited his sus'
p;cions. Mr.. Gray followed the fellow and
tracked him into the Second District, and
saw him enter store on Royal street. He
then warned Captain Mccain and Detec'
tive Dumas, when they captured the fellow.
he still having his bundle. An inspection
showed that the articles were not unlike
some stolen from dwellings, in the Sixth
District recently. He could not or would
not give satisfactory answers, when they
arrested and searched him. He gave his
name - Henry Cunningham. and his hands
are as soft - . lady's. He had seventy.
four dollars in currency, . gold ring with q
double 1eart on it, and "a, handkerchief
marked *. P.," . pair Of scissors With
blunted points, two fancy rugs and crumb
carpet Being closely Intercepted by Act

man who has perpetrated so many rob

here before the war, and has been
back here only three or four weeks. His

A~Reply to MadAssbrain.
EDITOR REPrBLICAS:
In the Times yesterday evening appears
a communication that tries to present three
points, as follows:
Now the facts are: l. That these lands do
not appear as part of the national domain
in such books, maps. records, etc., but are
therein absolutely placed as the property of
the particular persons to whom these United
States officers address their notification to
come forward and prove their rights.
2. Under the laws Of the United States
no application for homesteads can be re-
ceived or entertained BY these officers with.
out the lands sought for such homestead
are in the undisputed ownership of the
United States.
g. OF the very lands, attempts have been
made to divert from the present de facto
owners in the case Of heirs Of Wade Hamp-
ton wide notice in the REPUBLICAN, Of June
IL, 1871 J, it was shown that the lands were
confirmed; in the case Of Cazelard & Soule
wide notice in the REPUBLICAN, of July Z.
1871 titles were produced extending back
to July, 1864; and in the case of the city Or
Chalnette property. apart from the fact
that the portion fronting the Mississippi
river (thirteen acres) is held by the United
States under title from the city. and. being
used as national graveyard. is by law not
subject to homestead entry. the rest of the
tract is held by the city under title from
the United States itself.
"Now the facts are, first. that these lands
are not placed on the books, etc, referred
to a. 1.-THE property Of the particular per-
sons to whom these United States officers
address the notifications" as any one can
readily ascertain by mere inspection.
The second point about ''undisputed own
ership' is too bold for more than notice.
The third paragraph above is simply un-
ineligible. LAND GRABBER.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In this mornings paper in the local items
a quotation from Burns is given. Look over
Lockhart's edition of Burns works, and
you will find in his address Ito mouse
there is NO such word as "aglee:" and vet
it is always quoted as you give it. Had it
appeared in that old garrulous sheet, the
Picayune, should not have noticed it, as
it continually misquotes quotations; but
from you expected something better. Some
thirty years ago, when was "devil' in
an office, our communications used to he
signed "Looker On in Venice" until Mr.
Thomas, author Of Clinton Brad shaw" and
other works. in short scorching paragraph
in o morning paper, exposed the blunder.
Then we devils revealed in 'vienna" in
stead Of "venice." Correct this misquota-
ton, please. READER.
