a CONFESSION OF GUTLT.

Oar correspondent who accompanies the
Ozark expedition thus lr;eAy disroses Of
the much advertised Sheriff of Grant
parish, :'Eash had made tracks" Now,
we regard this as very singular proceed
ing on the part Of this sheriff If he was
al that his partisan apologists claimed for
him; if he vas the real bona fide sheriff of
Grant parish on the fatal thirteenth Of
April, when he led the posse of citi-
zens" from Rapid6s, Catahoua and Winn
to attack the citizens who had taken refuge
in the courthouse, We do not see that he
had any cause for running away. 1t was
his duty to meet Colonel DeKlyne, and
place himself at the head Of the arresting
party and give all the assistance in his
power to those sent up to execute war
rants. II he is innocent, lie would have
nothing to fear; but as lie has proclaimed
bis own guilt by running off to Texas, We
shall be compelled to ask the Herald to ex-
plain to its ielUded readers that the man
it has so often told them was the sheriff of
Grant parish was never such at all, but an
unofficial leader Of q band of rioters. Our
neiGhbor may not be in a humor to COM
ply, but it owes tbs much to the truth of
history.

so many issues 1t would have been
everywhere "Kellogg or McEnery. We
are not without proper respect for the
share of public consideration due to
Louisiana affairs, but really the REPrB-
LICAN has not the expanse OF cheek to
claim that the whole people of the United
States have no domestic questions to set
tie but divide upon the local politics OF
Louisiana alone. The ignorance and
vanity which assumes that our affairs are
the sole thought of the whole Union IS
ouly equaled by that Of the servant girl in
Cheshire, who said Il understand it is
a! orer London that ! am going to marry
John Roberts" The cool audacity of such
a claim has no parallel at all in our read
ing. We by no means desire to see the severe
penalties Of the common law revived
against those "who spread false news" or
publish false prophecies because we
have no wish to behold the countenances
Of orr misguided adversarles in the check
cred frame of a Jail window; but really,
we wish the trustees Or somebody would
not allow the keeper in charge Of the CO.
operative organ to abuse their trust, as
they are doing at this moment. Louisi-
ana has many measures pending before
Republican Congress and administration,
and the REPUBLICAN is sincerely anxious
for their success. 1t utters the only voice
regarded as expressing the majority will
in Louisiana. 1t is embarrassed by these
insane assaults upon the interests com
United to its care. In repelling these
attacks we lose valuable time and space.
We are compelled to expose an clement
of disturbance, without influence, it is
true, but likely to be- construed to the
common injury by Others. We appeal
again to the trustees or mortgages or
somebody who has the authority. We
shall soon have strangers in the house.
Car you not abate the termagant tones of
the PtcayHnse for a few days? Let it be
smothered or put away in some garnet out
Of hearing of the visitors. The unman-
nerly abuse Of strangers and the false
family pride proclaimed by an untamable
vixen will certainly be unpleasant if not
permanently injurious to all interests.

NOT QUITE A BoOTLESS MISSION.

The Times is duly thankful for small
favors, and doubtless hopes for better
luck next time Like the obstinate neigh
Dor of Noah, it thinks there will only be
little shower any how. Hear its summing
up of the fruits Of the expedition into
Grant parish
The Grant parish expedition proves TO
be q beotess mission, Deklyne himself &c
knowledging the achievement limited TO
the arrest of seven men, while scores OF the
alleged participants in the bloody atfray at
Coltax are known to be en- route for Texas
and Mexico.
The arrest OF only seven men may be an
achievement inadequate to the ends Of
full Justice, hut it is better than nothing.
But the flight of scores of men from the
State who ought to be arrested and pun
ished is some compensation. 1t may be
Mexico to receive such an undesirable ac-
cession to their population. We are glad
enough to be rid of them. Sc if the eype-
dition has resulted in driving them out of
the State, even for a short time, there viii
be some gain, while if it shall happen that
they never return, it will be worth more
than the whole bill of costs. If the Texans
and Mexicans will catch the fugitives from
justice and hold them long enough, We
will send for them.
The object Of sending out this expedi-
ton was not to wreak vengeance upon the
guilty so much as to protect the defense
less and innocent. 1t was not so much
for revenge as safety. The arrest of
seven and the fight Of scores may, there
fore, be regarded as a very good begin
ming. Besides, the party has not yet re-
turned. The chase is to be kept up-a
little while longer.

Presbyterians are sometimes called

exchange, "arose i'll tbs way. The distinct
dress of the Scotch Presbyterian clergy was
a blue gown and broad blue bonnet The
Fpiscopalian clergy, on the other hand,
