What o. II. Brewster Hns Said.
MONROE, La, Sept. 90, IS7:

MONROE, La, Sept. 90, 1872.
Editor Ouachita Telegraph:
1t is seldom that one finds, against
any politician, among the absurd and
often groundless charges preferred, one
so palpably enormous as that which
forms the subject of this communica-
ton. 1t is q matter of fact that O. II.
Brewster did, at public meeting, use
language to the following effect:
The only salvation for the colored people
owners to sell their land to colored men!
AS this is evidently making desperate
efforts to secure another Office, and as
my communications are invariably
sighted by the Republican press Of
this parish, which is manipulated by a
select ring Of office-holders for the per-
petuation of their emoluments, and
which ought to be called ssThe Ouachita
Cooperative Society for the Attainment
and Maintenance of Office" l submit
this fact for the consideration of all who
may see in this strong argument to
make this campaign resolve itself into
an effort to shake off his shack1es. Well
might a popular political cry in some
quarters, be altered to meet the local
exigency, into "Any man to beat
Brewster" If reform is not wanted
here, it is not wanted anywhere.
do not propose to insult your read
ers by the supposition that they do not
at once see the importance Of the charge
under which this man is arraigned.
The Brewsters of Louisiana and the
Hunnicutts of Virginia are those who
serve to fatten upon the cry against
carpet-baggers, and to f;,sten on a party,
which ], at least, deem reasonable, the
stigma Of agrarianism and communism.
1t is not that am less Republican
than before, but because our own press
is controlled by interested hands, and
because under the circumstances, the
declaration OF this demagoguc, who is
willing to deserve the worst charges of
all political parties, ought to be bIazon-
ed through every corner of N rth LOU
isiana, that respectable men, Republi-
! cans and Democrats, who are neither
! thieves nor anarchists, may understand
| the magnitude of the vi]}ainy they
! have to contend against, that I COM
mend this plain appeal to the inclina-
ton of a political opponent who at
| least respects the right of property.

The Assassination of Louis Sliolars.

In penning the paragraph, week be-
fore last, announcing the assassination
of Louis Sholars, Esq, of Bastrop, while
passing along the street after dark, we
were guided by such information as
reached us through a gentleman living
in that town. We knew the deceased
almost from his infancy. He was con-
spicuously modest, artless and reserv-
ed, both as boy and as man. Hence,
we were incredu1ous as to the cause of
his death, which we stated, AS the ru-
NOR gave it to us, was an improper in
the same town. We also stated that it
was supposed this gentleman {Mr.Pink
Wcaks) was the murderer. We We're
on the point of preparing, for this issue,
something additional touching the de-
plorable tradegy, when the following
statement from "NIany Friends of Mr..
Sholars, published in the Trenton
Farmer, came under our notice.
In addition to what is said below,
we should state that, so far as We have
been able to learn, there is no proof to
show that Mr.. Wcaks assassinatcd Mr..
Sholars, nor does it seem to be known
who the guilty party is. The extract
referred to reads
1t is not yet known who committed
tho atrocious decd, but suspicious rests
upon a man by the name of Pink
Weaks, who lives in the same neigh
bOrhood, and the only known enemy
that Mr.. Sholars had in the world.
His enmity arose principally from the
suspicious conduct of his wife. Itap-
pears that his wife formed quite an at
tachment for Mr.. Sholars, and sought
his society on many occasions. 1t is
said that the woman is young, extreme
ly handsome, and highly accomplish
ed. She persisted in her seductive
course, till finally to a limited degree
Mr.. Sholars fell a victim to her powers,
though he avoided her person as much
as possible in private rs well as in pub
lie places. She at last finding her
plans about to fail, wrote him a letter
an intimacy which he could not
consent to-and it was not until the
second letter from her was received,
that he consented to pen a reply. At
this time he inadvertently yielded to
her sedulous seductions, SO far as to re-
ply to her letters. In the third and as
we believe the last reply he insisted on
her not writing to him any more, and
told her of the evil consequences liable
to grow out of such undue intimacy;
that she was the wife or another man,
and that she should be true to her
marriage VOWS. About this time Weaks
discovered the letters written to his
wife by Mr.. Shoiars in Il drawer where
Il L
lately accused her of unchastity, drove
her from home, and on several occa-
sion afterwards threatened to take the
life of Mr.. Sholars
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1872-09-21

of any gentleman in the District? And
if this be true, is it not feature in his
record which may at least be over
looked, if not favorably regarded by
his Liberal friends?

should be elected, they would want
white man to get their bills through.
Now came struggle over the vote
by ballot. BY rising vote, it was de-
cided nearly unanimously in opposi-
ton to vote by ballot, Mr.. Whited's
ward alone favoring it. The count
gave the caucus leaders confidence,
and they magnanimously consented,
by reconsideration, for the vote to be
taken by ballot.
The juggling over, the struggle re-
opened by Mr.. Whited's asking the
Chair if he could say something. The
Chair replied, no. Mr.. Whited, contin-
uing, said, he had discovered that the
thing had all been fixed up. He found
tickets already printed. the gentle
men k,,e,0 it was trick. They had a
few men put up for burlesque, but now
printed. He would withdraw from
the Convention, and repndiate this
stalking machine: e
The Chair, complacently: 1t is no
use to debate the matter. If the dele
gate is displeased, it is his own fault.
Mr.. Whited arose to reply, but the
Chair said, peremptorily, "Your re-
marks are out of order! Proceed with
the vote"
The delegates came up to vote, de-
posting their ballots in q Greeley hat,
into which Judge Caltlwell's specialized
orbs peered with eagle scrutiny. Mr..
Whited and three or four others refused
to vote. Twenty-eight votes were cast,
with the following result.

vention and its course, reached our
ears, showing that the colored people

Capt. G. w. McCranie, the nominee
of the Fusion ticket for this Congress
sional District, is man energetic, ear
nest, capable and of the strictest integ-
rity. We think he has been too ultra
in his views, but now that he and his
party, by a fusion with the Reformers
first and then the Liberals, have shown
a tendency to better things, we, as iden-
titled with the fusion, will give him
our earnest support in common with
the other members Of the Fusion tick
let.-Ctaibo'7,e Adrocate.
We thank the Advocate for its favor
able opinion of It's, and for it's support.
But the Advocate ought to exempli-
fy better its own precepts condemning
ultraism; it should refrain from the use
of such phrases, rs we find in juxtapo-
| sition to what we have quoted, as "the
leeches who have drained It's so long''-
"the extinction of the Northern locust
plague which for seven years has raw
| aged the Statc''-"the corrupt and
thieving politicians who have been
! leading her (the State) into ruin and
bankruptcy for the last four or five
years. &c. The file ofthe TEIEGRAPn
will not show any expressions more ul-
ira than these.
The trouble with those Liberals who
criticisc Mr.. McCranie's so-called ultra
views is that they I'LL have felt rs he
| has, and some of them have been de-
for example the New Orleans Times,
the leading organ of Liberaliem; in
! 1870, it said to Gov Warmoth in CT
ceronian style-Haster, fly from the
State. And certainly the editor Of the
Advocate has not forgotten the Timcs's
phillipics last January against the
same official and his friends. Consult
any of Our Liberal contemporaries Of the
same date, and it will be found that
nearly all OF them surpassed us in in
vcctivc and ultraism respecting that
wing of the Republican party now in
part become the Liberal wing.
AS to the fusion of the Democrats
and Liberals, the editor of the Advo-
cate can easily ascertain that while he
wns In attendance on the August Liber-
al Convention, Mr.. AIcCranio was in
Claiborne parish aud was urging upon
the leaders Of the two parties, and his
friends particularly, the Importance of
combining the two elements. His ul-
traism, therefore, has not been of n
very dangerous or obstinate character,
however firmly he may have main
tanned the principles of the Democratic
party.
And, aftef ali, inlay IT hot be possible
that Mr.. McCranie's so-called ultraism
will help to secure rs many votes tor
the fusion ticket, as wilt tho liberalism

We have not heard any speech Of
Capt. McCranie's within the past two
years, but that it rang in our ears for
two or three weeks afterwards, about
Police Jury, Public Administrator,
printer, etc.
Now, couldn't you give us :, change :?
--Iate1iigencei.
We are not "clasping hands" with
our cotemporary, and must decline to
make the change desired. We cannot
give up such strong points, rs the Jail
Job, the conspiracy to sell the Intelli-
gencer lot to the parish for $500, by
Messrs Mercy and Ennemoser, and the
official voracity Of our neighbor. The
dereliction of the Police Jury in falling
to assess and collect the taxes due by
the Railroad company-thus increas-
ing the burthens Of the poor is another
one of our arguments we cannot sur
render.

Judge Ray and the Jail job.

One OF the characters in our cartoon
of last week have resemblance to
Judge Ray, and was represented as
seated upon box, marked "Jail job"
There was no intention to connect the
Judge with the swindle mentioned,
further than culpability in approving
the bill, without previous investigation
would connect him. TO the Judges
honesty, as an official, we have fire.
quently borne testimony and if any i'm
preston to the contrary was made by
our picture, we hasten to correct it.
Nevertheless, we would inquire if the
principal parties in the Jail job We're
not Judge Rays supporters in the Con-
vcntion that nominated him for re.
election: And if this he true, is not
the conjunction most unfortunate for
the Judge?

but to be drilled into voting for Ntorey,
