flying dispute once it began. He was
above middle age, with gray hairs, and
was an unpretending farmer who court
ed the ways Of peace. However his
death may have occurred, from our
knowledge of the man we are COM
PEELED to believe he died a martyr to
the cause of peace and truth. The Sun
says:
We most truly lament the death of
this honest and upright man. He died
of the wound he received at the Grant
courthouse. He was mild, amiable,
generous, hospitable and universally
esteemed. No doubt he was influenced
in his mission to the camp of his slayers
by motives of kindness and humanity
towards them. Mr.. Hadnot was one OF
the few men of whom afteran acquaint-
ance of q quarter of a century we could
truly say, snone knew him but to love
him, none named him but to praise.'

lives, running them from their homes

complained to me Of the failure of the
Government to prosecute the persons
who, on tho 9Th day of March, 1873, or
ganized an armed resistance to, and per-
petrated an attack upon, the constituted
and legal authorities ofthc State, where
by the lives of several citizens were
sacrificed; and, as I am advised, that
the persons who committed that outrage
are guilty ofthe capital crime of treason,
and having information in my possess
sion which duplicates John MclLncry,
to whom / referred in my letter to you
of this date, in the crime aforesaid; and
believing the State can establish that
he and his ait,crS and ab"ttOrs have
continued to maintain their trcasoua-
bic organization, and are still projecting
and levying Il war against the Conn
monwealth, and that the recent massa-
ere in the parish of Grant, if not directly
planned and ordered by this man and
his associates was ! result of their
reasonable acts against the State Gov
eminent, 1 therefore request you to lay
before the Grand Jury of this Parish
such proof as may be furnished to you
looking to the indictment of the said
John McEnery, and any other iGnpli-
Gated with him, for treason.
You will spare no effort in this Pros

\ HORRIBLE MURDER.

On Monday night last, or early Tues
day morning q pedier, evidently Il Ger
man, was attacked by four negroes in
front Of the OldSoniat plantation, about
q mile and Il half below the ferry land
ing and brutaily murdered. One OF
the bands employed on the plantation
going to the river early in the morning
to put out Il tiSh-linc, discovered the
body lying in the water, near the bank,
where it had been thrown by the muir
derers after committing the horrible
crime. The alarm was Immediately
given and search made to discover the
authors of & deed SO terrible, but for
u time, without success, as there was no
clue to direct the officers Of Justice
Between seven and eight O'Clock, 4
negro named George Harris oiids Spot,
or Spotted George, offered for sale at tii..
ferry landing gold ring at SO 4 low !;
price as to excite suspicion, which vas
increased when stains of blood We're
discovered upon it. An attempt WIS
then made to arrest him, but if proved
an inefFecutal task owing to his hoicu-
lean size and strength, and for the time
being he escaped. The hue and cry
was then raised and L large body of
citizens, white and colorcu, started in
turing him about dark, but only after
adcspcrate struggle. lie then confessed
the crime and gave the numcs of his
arconapliccs, who are John i'efncl
John Allen and Miles Whiting, ali
coiorcd, the first two named and him
self, having just been released from the
Pcnitcrtiary. They attacked their
victim, with clubs. beating him over
the head, fracturing the skull and
ihfilctinS :. heavy cash upon one of the
checks, anG Wl:Cn life had disappeared,
they ritfed his body and threw it into
tho river where it was found as dcScrib-
cd above. The mpu0cpccaHu auHacity
OF the man Harris almost surpasS belief
After plundcring the body of the pcdlcr
and taking possession OF his goods, lie
offered part of the booty for sale within
a short liStSncC oftIp scene of his crime.
and when the first attempt was made
TO arrest him he WAS at the ferry land
ing sitting Oh the bag containing Il pOr-
ton Of The murdered mans goods.
quietly awaiting the arrival OF the ferry
boat to cross To- the opposite side OF the
river; when summoned to surrender,
he dciiantly replied "tO shoot and be

siderable aiacitE. During the night he

returned in accordance with the facts
by the Coroncr's Jury. John Furnc!
WAS captured during Wednesday night,
and we have reason to believe the
other two Will not long remain outside
of the prison walls.

that the other negroes were captured,

TREASON! TREASON!

Perpetuating Pitt Kellogg, chief con-
spirator in "the Comedy Of Errors and
Frauds" is about to. undertake the
prosecution for treason of Gov. Nc
Emery, the man he has outrageously
wronged, and with Gov. McInery, all
his aiders and abbettors in resistance to
that government, headed by Kellogg,
which was created by Durell, whose
conduct and acts, even Senator Morton
says, "cannot be justified or defended"
els without any foundation in law or
logic" and sscan only be characterized
as gross usurpation."
ssThen said Zeresh, his wife, ana all
his friends unto him, (Haman,l Let
gallows be made that Mordecal may
be hanged thereon. And the thing
pleased Hannah and he caused the
gallows to be made. II And I1arbonah,
one of the chamberlains, said before the
King. Behold also the gallOWs fifty
cubits high, which Hannah had made
for Mordecai, who had spoken good for
the King, standcth in the house of
Haman. Then the King said, Hang
him thereon.
$50 they hanged Hannah OH the gall
lows prepared for Mordecai. Then was
the Kings wrath pacitied."
Mr.. Kellogg writes Mr.. Field the
following letters:
April p, 1873.
The Hon. a. p. Field, Attorney General Of
louisiana:
SRI desire to cali your attention to
the fact that John McIInery, of the
parish of Ouachita, in this State, but
now profcssedly residing in the city of
New Orleans, has been for several weeks
past, continually violating the provis-
ions of section Of act No. q, session
of 1878, approved March S, 1878, and
entitled can Act declaring it a crime
to usurp 4 public Office, and providing
for the punishment of such offence"
etc.
He has openly declared himself the
Governor of the State in various publ
cations, called by him Proclamations,
and has thus interfered with tho Exec
utive Department of the Government
by advising and melting resistance to
the laws, and to tho officers charged
with the collection of the revenue of the
State.
Furthermore, have information that
he has assumed to issue several COM
missions to persons as public officers,
and in order to do so has forged the
seal Of the State. In one case, at least,
he has thus organized and planned an
active interference with the public Off
GERS of the State in the discharge of
their duties. Instance the revolution
airy acts of the persons SO appointed by
him, in temporarily seizingand holding
the public records of the parish Of Iiv-
ingston.
l therefore request you to institute Il
prosecution Of the said John McILncry
before the proper Tribunal, in accord
ance with law and the section Of the
statue above recited.
Very respectfully,
fSignedl w. Z. * ELi.UGG.
