Murder in Natchitoches.

The Red Rirer NetoS reports the follow
ing:
Last Tuesday evening, seventeenth in
slant, our community was startled by the
information that A. Jones, well known
citizen of this place, was murdered at his
place Of residence, at Mrs. Clark's house,
where deceased resided, about fourteen
miles west of Natchitoches. 1t seems that
Jones went to the stable on the place where
he resided to procure eggs for some travel
ers who stopped at the place. While en-
gagged in procuring the eggs, a double barrel
shotgun was thrust through the opening in
the stable and fired off. Twenty-three buck
shots took effect on the person of the de-
ceased from his neck to his hip, twelve
proving mortal wounds.
The accused murderer is one Frank Gar
ner. colored resident of this place and
parish. letter was found, showing evil
IDENTIFY that he was implicated in the matter
in consequence of some misunderstanding
between the deceased and accused.
Mr.. Jones was ahard working, industrious
man, always good natured, when sober, al
ways forbearing when otherwise, yet hot
tempered and overbearing when excited by
personal feelings.
The murder recorded was committed in
cold blood, without any extenuating circum-
stances that we can at present learn. 1t is
to be hoped as will undoubtedly be the
case, that our authorities will act promptly
and energetically in this matter. Murder
has been committed this last week in this
parish; murder, deliberate and premeditated,
and it is to be hoped that if the authorities
of the State may be required to become cog
infant of the fact that they will not be hest
tant as TO their duties. Jones, though a tur-
bulent, was an industrious citizen. Frank
Garner is accused of his murder.

CoIored Ku.KIux Outrage.

We copy the following from the st. Louis
Republican. 1t evidently emanated from a
Democratic source, and allowance should be
made accordingly:
MEMPHIS, May pa serious shooting
ARRAY occurred yesterday, at Hopefield, Ar
kansas, between band of twenty or thirty
negro Ku-Klux and three or four gentlemen
from this city, under the following circum-
stances: The gentlemen referred to had gone
over the river from this city to spend the
day and were amusing themselves by prac-
ticing at target with their pistols in the
rear of hotel, and while thus engaged
were suddenly confronted by two negroes,
one magistrate and the other constable
who in an insulting manner commanded
them TO stop firing and surrender themselves
as prisoners. This they readily acqniesced
in without a word of remoDstrance, and
were about to return to the house when the
black constable began abusing one of the
party and cursing the entire white race, ap-
plying epithets to the gentlemen unfit for
publication.
After a moments hesitation one of the
white men started toward the black rascal,
when he turned and taking to his heels
made tracks for some negro quarters near
by; the ether turning drew his pistol and
fired at the pursuer, without effect, how
ever. The party then returned to the
house. and in the course of thirty minutes
a band of negroes, numbering thirty, armed
with shotguns, muskets, etc, appeared in
front of the house and demanded the sur
render of its owner, who appeared with
shotgun, upon which the negro magistrate
ordered his men to fire, which they did, rid
ding the house with buckshot and bullets,
but fortunately injuring nobody. The fire
was returned by the party of white men
with effect One negro fell dead and four
were seriously wounded whereupon the
blacks fed in confusion, leaving their dead
and wounded on the field.
The affair creates the greatest excitement
and a serious outbreak is expected to night.
The negroes threaten to burn every house
in the village and butcher those who took
part in the ARRAY.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-06-02

The San Francisco Bulletin says that
when Mrs. Fair was first put in her cell
persons who visited her observed that the
ceiling was completely covered over with
largeand small wood cuts taken out of the
Police Gazette, etc, and pasted to the solid
masonry. Immediately over the head of
her bed, where she could not look up with
out seeing it, was picture representing
the hanging of woman. Some prisoner
had relieved the monotony of his days and
gratitied his morbid taste by covering the
ceiling with these atrocious cuts. The
TAILOR has caused every one of them to be
removed. Mrs. Fairs little child, the BuL
Iehm adds, visits her mother every morning,
and never fails to carry her some new or
fresh fruit, or something which she fancies
will please her. On recent occasion. when
the door was opened to admit her, she ex-
claimed: Mamma, here comes your little

NEW YORK

The New York Democratic Conven-
sion is over. The audacious corruption Of
Tammany that essays to control the ma
tional organization of that party, united
its councils. Boss Tweed was triumphant
over all opposition, that democratic mag
nate Of New York City invincible in the
power and influence of stolen millions
The Reform Democracy we're beaten in
~gloriously. They went down, bob. line
and sinker. The official thieves have il
all their own way.
We in this remote locality, are in nc
wise affected by this victory of seoundrel'
ism, except in the fact that New York
Democracy is attempting to rule the po-
Iitical destinies of the country, and possess
itself of the National Treasury, that it
may enlarge its already fabulous steal
ings. Tammany is the life and soul Of
che national organization, by virtue ofits
gigantic rascalities, and hence its fortunes
are o fimmense moment to every citizen.

u Etiquette.

We copy the following well written ar
ticle from the SOmerUiRe Falcon. Its ap-
plication demands a much wider latitude
than the place from which it emanates.
Some of the young people of Jonesboro
might read it with great profit, if they ap-
p~reciate satire and sarcasm. g
Young gentlemen should make it a rule
to enter church about the time the sermon
is half over, and make as much noise as
possible, in order that all may see them.
While there they should chew at least half
a plug of mean tobacco and make a circu-
lar pool at least three feet in diameter,
and then take a genteel nap of ten min
utes. On waking up they should turn
around and stare at every body in the
house, wink and blink at their sweethearts,
make wry faces at the minister, pin comic
placards to the backs of those in front,
write notes, and in various other ways pass
off the time. If customary they should
kneel during prayers in order to be better
screened from the members and others
whose old fogy ideas are not in harmony
with the new church etiquette departure.
After service they should form a solid
column, two ranks deep. in front of the
church, and take a good look at the ladies
as they pass down the steps. They should
stare a Ia Indian warrior when he looks
for the first time upon the steam engine.
Finally he should whistle Yankee Doodle
and take a smile at the first Saloon"
he comes to- Afterwards he takes dinner
and then sleeps until evening service. and
is again ready to act the part of modern
devotion. The ladies act an, equally i'm
portant part. Being more deyout than
the sterner sex they invariably kneel-
when it suits-during prayers-aud turn
ing their faces from the alter they assume
a tragic position, a la Grecian bend, and
then they squirm and w%riggle, litter. talk
clear across the church by the motion of
the lips-it would be irreverent to talk
out-stick pins in their nearest neighbors
and in a thousand other angelic ways en-
gage in worship.(O This is modern
church etiquette having its origin in the
fashionable circ les Of Somerville and
should be understood by all. Other fast
cities may initiate our progressives and
young Am e%ricas, though for the present
they are far in the van and viii doubtless
remain there. The long faced devotion
observed by our honest but misguided pa
re Its has played out. They did many
other foolish things-thcy used water to
quench thirst-that has also played out
it is only used for washing purposes now.

TILE LATE


In the times of Whiggery snd d emOc-
racy, "as Ohio and Pennsylvania 60, 50
goes the Union" was a pretty safe %conjec-
Iture IN the calculation of the Presidential
chances. AS these States have rolled up
% magnificent majority for thesRepublican
ssieket, in their recent elections held, dur
ing the fall, in several States have result
Sed in great disaster to the Democraey, it
is more than safe to conclude that the
coming Presidential election will main
s.ain,, by lagely increased majorities, the
supremacy Of Republicanism. In every
canvass, the administration of President
Grant was the distinctive, paramount Is
sue, upon which the contestants joined in
battle, the democrats d~enouncing it as
reckless, extravagant and dishonest and
Ahs republicans upholding it as pure, pa
sriotic, wise, and beneficial TO the whole
country. This result will certainly have
the effect of teaching the Democracy that
the people cannot be inveigled and de-
eoyed into the meshes or the "New De-
parture, sham and fraud. If the De-
mocrscy was honestly earnest and sincere
y jealous in accepting and supporting the
Yallandigham movement, INSTRUMENTATION
would ct once disband and join the Re-
publican party. from which the "New
Departure" platform was stolen.
These State endorsements are sure pre-
eursors ofthe popular verdict in the Pres
idential canvass of ~. These indica-
lions. also. strongly point to President
Grant for the succession; but who ever
may bear the ensign of the Republican
party, will enter the highest trust of the
Nation, honored by an overwhelming ma.
jority of its people. -
