No sooner had intelligence of this
brutal deed been received than the
Fusion newspapers with one accord
set up the cry of "a Fiendish Out
rage By Kellogg's Metropolitans; .
and the more unreasonable still per-
sist in this false representation, not
withstanding the fact that the militia
had no possible connection with the
matter, and that the villain Hender-
son is proven to have been motor
ious criminal and Democratic negro,
having participated in the butchery
of his brethren at Colfax courthouse
and aided his white eoadjutors in
making good their escape upon the
approach of the State militia. He was
the protegee, 80 to speak, of two broth
ers named Williams-white men
whose characters were not above sus-
picion, and it is well known that the
delectable trio have been engaged in
more than one infraction of law in
company, but the neighboring citizens
feared the scoundrels too much to
have them prosecuted for their mis-
deeds.
1t will be q satisfaction to every
one to learn that Henderson has been
shot dead by the father of his victim,
and that the companions of the villain
will be as condignly punished if dis
covered.
The deed is one likely to have been
perpetrated at any other time, as it
was committed by q confirmed GRIM
inal, and no responsibility can be
fastened upon the militia, whose ap-
proachwas mere everyday coincidence.
The persistent attempts of the Fusion
lists to make political capital out of
this affair must prove as abortive as
they are degrading, and will harm
the very cause they are intended to
advance.

this charge was first uttered, no one
denied it with more vigor than Sena-
tor Merrill himself, yet now he repro
duces it as gospel truth.
But we are gratifed to know that
this unprincipled conduct has met a
proper reward in the strong indorse-
ment of Senator Wharton and Mr..
Loud by the Republicans of Iberville,
and the practical laying of Merrill
and his co-conspirators on the po-
litical shelf. It was a sorry day for the

puny voice against q man who

ment of Metropolitan Militia to the
scene of the recent Colfax butchery,
with the view of arresting and bring
ing to trial some Of the participants
in that horrible affair. A day or two
before the arrival of the militia at
Colfax, a half dozen brutal negroes,
under the lead of a notorious rufiian
named Henderson, attacked the
house of q white family residing in
the vicinity of that town, in the abb
sence of the husband and father, and
forced the defenceless women and
children to fee from their home, and
again from the cabin of celored wo-
man with whom they had taken ref
uge, and wander about in the dark
ness of night almost frightened to
death, knowing not whittier to turn
for relief. Henderson accosted them
in the edge of strip of woods, and
under the pretense of leading them to
a place of safety, inveigled the party
into secluded spot, where he per-
petrated foul outrage upon the per-
son of the young daughter, threaten
ing instant death to all if the least

MALIGNING A POPULAR MAN.

There is at least one member of the
State Senate who can be called essen
TALLY man of the people-Hon. w.
w. Wharton of Iberville. Possessing
in remarkable degree the require
ments of an orator, scholar and states
man, besides the qualities of a gentle
man of the old school, he makes
host of friends wherever he moves,
and has earned popularity among
his constituency that is rarely
equalled and seldom excelled. By
reason of his energetic ability he
makes a powerful and determined
opponent, withal neither acrimonious
or unjust, and on the other hand con-
stitntes faithful and invaluable friend
that any man may consider himself
fortunate in having.
When the Republican party diyid-
ed in 1870 Senator Wharton espoused
what was called Custom House wing,
while Hon. Geo. B. Loud adhered to
the Pinchback faction, and the two
gentlemen waged spirited political
war against each other, as is the gen.
eral wont of opposing politicians, un-
til the party became again united,
when they buried the hatchet and
agreed with the other leaders in her
Vile to labor thenceforth in peace and
friendship for the common cause. A
few months since, when Mr.. Loud
had secured the position which he
now holds, Senator Merrill saw fit to
break that agreement,and aetuated
solely by personal dislike and politi-
cal jealousy he rallied his cohort of
Office holders, whose appointment he
had obtained in the absence of his
colleague, Senator Wharton, from the
State, and commenced a relentless
persecution of Mr.. Loud, the partic-
ulars of (which are already well known
to our readers. Like the honorable
man he is, Senator Wharton kept
good faith with his former opponent
and strained every nerve to protect
him from the malice of Mr.. Merrill,
and it was through his efforts the re-
lease of Mr.. Loud was finally secured.
Of course the bitter and vindictiye
Merrill opened immediate war upon
his ADLER and more honorable col
league, and even up to this time has
not ceased to heap undeserved abuse
upon his head through the columns
of that delectable print, the SIberville
Pioneer and Neus. In keeping with
the utter Inconsistency of his nature,
Mr.. Merrill is reproducing against
Senator Wharton the self same articles
that were written by Mr.. Loud two
years ago, and which were at the time
strenuonsly denounced and branded
false by Merrill himself. Among other
groundless charges raked out of the
ashes of the past by this political
scavenger is the one that Senator
Wharton was never properly natu-
rallied as citizen of the United
States. In reply to this, it is suffi-
Gent to state that Mr.. Merrill was
witness to the naturalization, which
took place before the court of Parish
Judge Morris Marks of Ascension, who
has expressed himself willing at any
time to testify to the correctness and
legality of the proceedings. When

d long HAeu impression, lne
real secret | have been trying
to make known to you for some
time"
Before you proceed, let me
inform you that the constable
arrested several boys, down
town, on the charge of pilfer-
ing. They had been loafng
around Wilson's grocery for a
long time, and were under the
eye of the clerk, on suspicion,
and yesterday he came up with
them and found several bills on
their persons, stolen from the
money-drawer."
81 am sorry to hear of such
things; those boys are ruined
for life. Oh, how their parents
must feel!"
Yes, and you call me cruel
when | keep viii in of nights,
and make him work; and if he
had been let run, he too, would
have been perhaps as bad as
the boys under arrest"
" No, no, my dear husband,
| never blamed you for keeping
the boy off the streets, and
from loafng about the stores.
[ could not expect any good
end for Willie if he followed
such a wicked and idle course,
for boys almost invaribly come
to some bad end who run about
the town after night, and loaf
in stores by day..
81 knew that you would, by
and by, give me credit for my
course with the lad, and you
will find out that l am always
about right"
"Again, husband, you know
that our boy never wants to be
found in bad company, nor is
he inclined to lounge around
the shops and stores of the vii
lage."
Yes, 1 give him credit for
that"
"But | must return to the
object I had in view at the COM
mencement of our conversation,
My mind concerning Willie can
be stated thus
l. That he is naturally in
clined to piety, al'Oays was re-
ligiously inclined, and ! believe
he knows what it is to be in
continual favor with God.
2. He is a apt scholar, and
Mr.. Wood says, will be fine
literary adept if he has a
chance.
3. He is a natural orator, as
his declarations before the large
crowd at the exhibition evinc-
ed.
4. He loves the Bible and
religious books, beyond all 9th
ers.
5. He says himself that he
would rather be a minister,
than own all the world.
Thus / approach my long
settled impression, that it is our
duty to assist preparing the boy
for the work of the Church"

The Home Journal thus dis
courses on the etiquette of bow
ing. The difference between
courteous and a familiar bow
should be remembered by gen.
tlemen who wish to make a fa-
vorable impression. A lady
dislikes to receive from a man
With whom she has but a slight
acquaintance, bow, accompan.
led by a broad smile, as though
he was ON he tmost familiar
terms with her. 1t is far better
to err on the other side, and
give one of those stiff ungra.
clous bows which some men in.
dulge in. Those gentlemen
who smile with their eyes in.
stead of their mouths, give the
most charming bows. As for
men who bow charmingly at
one time and with excessive
hauteur at another, according
as they feel in a bad or good
humor, they need never be sur
prised if the person thus treated
should cease speaking altogeth-
er. A man should always lift his
hat to a lady.

Hickory Bark for COlOring.

Hickory bark will color a
beautiful bright yellow that
will not fade by use. 1t will
color cotton and wool. Have
the bark shaved off, and chop
ped in small pieces, and put in
a brass kettle or tin boiler with
soft water enough to cover the
bark, and boil till the strength
is out; then skin out the chips
and put in Alum. Have it
pounded pretty fine. For a pail
full of dye | should put in two
good handsful, and wet the
goods in warm water so there
will be- not dry spots on them
wiring them as dry as you can,
shake them out and put them
in the dye. Have a stick at
hand to push them down and
stir them Immediately SO they
can have a chance all over alike.
If the color is not deep and
bright enough to raise the goods
out OF the dye, lay them across
a stick over the kettle and put
in another handful of alum
Stir it we'll and dip again. 1t
will want to be kept in the dye
and over the fire to a scalding
heat about an hour, and keep
stirring and airing so they will
not spot.
