We copy the following from the Times


We copy the following from the Times
of last evening:
Saturday last, at webber's store, in
the parish of West Feliciana, highly
respectable planter, Mr.. Richard Hal :,
son of Colonel Richard Hale. was shot
and killed by mob Of excited negroes,
while in the hands Of he law.
The circumstances, as we gather
them, are as follows:
Mi. Hale visited Webber's store last
Saturday morning. during the excite
ment attending the Radical parish
convention. Mr.. Hale was somewhat
under tie int1ence of liquor, ana Whit
hOurishing his revolver. it Was dis
charged accid. ally, &oithding a
negro standing by. Immediately he
handed | is revo, or 70 the p6SStmaster,
a cOlOred man, IN d placed himself in
the hands Of the constable, who tock
him in charge and went with him 10 a
back room Of The sfor.. At this time
the excitement, which had been gradu.
ally increasing, became Intense, and
the negroes swOre they would have his
life. Some of them entered the back
room and commenced shooting, the
constable narrowly escaping the bul
let's.
Finally the constable told Mr.. Hale
he could protect MIN no longer when
be jumped out the window and ran for
his life. The mob Oh tn; outside were
too quick tor Eiii. h0& yer, and he
was instantly killed
The negroes at once scattered. bnt
We understand the most vigorous
efforts will Tx. made to bring the guilty
parties to punishment.

End of Volume Second.

This issue of the REPUBLICAN brings
us to the end of Volume 2. One year
ago with many misgiyings, we took
control Of the paper, feeling that the
risk was great. Without any knowledge
of the practical part Of the business,
and no experience as journalist, We
felt that the responsibility was grave.
Relying, however, upon the maxim that
i" Pluck will Win," We made the effort
The result has been more satisfactory
than our most sanguine expectations
could possibly have anticipated. The
list of subscribers has gradually in
creased, as the standing of the paper
has bscome better known, until now
it has become one Of the best advertis-
ing mediums in the country, and is SO
considered. The prospects for the fn-
ture are brighter than ever, and we
start into the third volume with feel
ing of certainty, in lieu Of the doubts
and fears which oyerhung US a year
ago.
Politically, the REPUBLICAN will, as
heretofore, advocate the claims and
principles of the Republican party, that
party which stood true to itself and the
Gountry through those long and san
Culinary struggles, which were to decide
whether the Republic of the United
States vas to be indeed nation of free
people, or Q nation Of slaves to horde
Of ambitious demagogues, who we're de.
termined to rule the country TO their
own aggrandizement, or ruin it in pref
trence to letting it pass into the hands
of its true friends We shall in the fu-
ture. as in the past, deal with fairness
on all questions which may come up
for discussion. With feeling of friend
ship TOWARD our brethren Of tho press,
We shall, if necessary, meet them square
ly on all points where, in our judg-
ment, they may ADVOCATE doctrines not
in accordance with the best interests of
the country. We shall do this, however,
not merely with view to controversy,
but with desire to have the people
understand the different questions sub
mitted to them, in all their bearings, 50
that they may decide intelligently. We

The editor of the Benton Democrat

expressions that would carry with them

Clerk and Sheriff Burch, referred to
by the correspondent, We have respect
for them as gentlemen, but when it
comes to a political fight, We claim the
privilege of opposing any measure ad-
vocated by their party, not as personal
matter, but as something which interests

Worse Muddled.

Our neighbor Of the Mercury, wish>
ing to still farther establish his reputa-
tion as man of erudition, attempted in
his last issue to explain the condition Of
affairs between the United States and
Great Britain, by lengthy editorial
under the caption of 1.-The British
Muddle." He goes back ia this to the
administration of Andrew johnson, and
tells US, in his own peculiar style, of
the negotiations attempted to be made
at that time, as we'll as the course pur-
sued by Minister Motley, all of which
has no bearing whatsoever, upon the
present mnddle." The treaty between
the two powers provided that the ques-
ton be submitted to convention of
representatives appointed by the two
Governments. Before this tribunal the
claims were to be argued, and its de-
cision was to be acquieseed in by the
two Governments. The "apology" re-
ferrcd to by our contemporary was only
matter OF form without any signifi-
canoe. OF course, the British Govern
ment after aiding in every way they
could to secure the independence Of the
Southern States, bnt falling in their ef-
forts, could not do less than " Authorize
her Ministers and Plenipotentiaries to
express in friendly spirit Her Majes-
ty's regrets" etc, but would this in any
way recompense us for the loss sus~
tanned The affair has sifted itself
down to plain matter of business. The
Pail Mall Gazette ack knowledges that
the British Commissioners were out
generated but does not claim that this
exonerates England from her obligation
to stand b. the decision of the Geneva
Conference. The discussions in tie
House Of 1ompous shoE the same feel
ing.
Whether the claims submitted BY
the Cuited States 10 the Geneva Com
ference are legitimate or not, must be
decided by chat tribunal, If that con-
ference deem any of the claims wrong,
of course they will 80 decide. and We
as natural sequence will have to sub
NIT according to agreement. If, on the
other hand, it is decided that all claims
presented by the Y. S. Government are
valid, England will be compelled, ac>
cording to agreement, to pay them or
violate her pledge. We ave not disposed
to counsel war, but if the claims pre-
sented before the Geneva Conference
are allowed, We claim, most emphatically,
that they should be paid whether g any
section Of the people Of Great Britain
are in faror Of it or not" 1t is time
that these questions were disposed of in
some way, and not be allowed to remain
bone of contention between the two
countries. We expect ultra Democratic
papers to denounce the claims, as they
have ever done all measures OF the
present dominant party, but We opine
that the intelligent citizens of our coun
try will see whether those claims are
legitimate or not, and, if they are, will
sustain tho Administration in pressing
them.

POLITICAL GLEANINGs.

We regret to see a number of our
friends who hold Office under the State and
city government striving for election as
delegates to the Liberal Republican
Convention, which is to assemble on August
5. In several instances we know the nom
ination has been thrust upon these gentle-
men, but we hope in every case it viii be
declined. 1t is the especial wish and desire
of Governor Warmoth that no one holding
an appointment from him will be come del
egate. We state this authoritatively. No
matter how great the desire of the people
to thus show respect and confidence, it is
far better that every man identified with
the present administration should decline
in favor of some other, whom the en-
tire people will recognize as being abso-'
Iutely free and untrammeled.
The enemies of the Liberal movement
will use every means of attack. A favorite
charge will be that the convention has been
packed by Governor Warmoth in his own
interest. This must be emphatically di 8
proven by the composition of the body
itself. The Liberal party is peculiarly
party of the whole people, and the dele
gates must come fresh from and truly rep
resenting them. In this way only can the
confidence which will guarantee victory be
inspired.

The Cotton Worm.

The WOodville Republican says:
We understand that Mr. Dan Cohen,
who is renting one of the Ashwood places,
and where the cotton worms have appeared,
has offered one-half cent apiece for the
worms, and sent his hands in the field to
kill them. The days sport ended in 1000
worms killed, for which he paid. Some
may laugh at this, but suppose all the
planters should offer the same inducements
to get rid of the cotton worms where they
first make their appearance. Our word for
it, there would not be enough of them left
to iniure our staple. We have heard Of
benefits arising from individual planters
killing the worms where their neighbOrs
did not Then what must be the benefit Of
united action on this matter2 In this mat
ter, it is the interest Of our merchants to
help kill the worms by offering inducements,
or at least helping the planter in whom
they are interested, to defray the expenses
thereof
