To the Colored People,

~ VAC NOAOISO TeODlea
Those Of yeu who can read will do
we'll to take tie piece copied from the
Marksville Bulletin home with you,
and read it to all of Jour friends who
cannot read. Think over it and pom
der we'll the words. Many colored
men in this parish can read as well as
any man, and can explain to those nu-
able to do 30. Pause and consider
before you act, take the tickets offer
ed you by both parties and find out
for yourselves, what it all means
what all these alterations 20 the Con.
stitution Of the State means be men.
and not political slaves.
You are on the eve Of an important
election. III the impending contest
the gravest issues are involved, and
you in part, are called to solve the
problem that occupies our soundest
minds. The white people OF tae
country are aiming to rescue this
State from ruin, and they look to you
to aid them in their efforts. The al
legation that we intended to defraud
YOU of your rights and privileges is
long since exploded. The falselocds
resorted to since your cntranchise-
n,ent, to secure your undivided sup
port, have one by one, been nailed to
the wall, and to-day You stand before
the world as your own guides, know
ing and appreciating your position
before the law. In the past, laboring
under the basest receptions, you acted
in opposition to us, but to-day things
have changed. You now know tive
views and intentions Of the white
people, and knowing this should You
persist in your headstrong DISPOSE
ton, then yours would Ike grave and
sue dial action.
The white people Of the country
are your friends politically speaking,
because their interests are identical
with yours. The future is full OF
promise if You hut will it, and even
the elevation Of your race depends
upon the success and triumph Of the
Conservatives. Prejudice existed a.
mOng you for a long time, hut at last
you are porceivins your errors, and
perceiving them you should aim to
rectify them by your present goo't
will toward the people Of the country.
Remember that the downfall Of the
white people is Your own misfortune.
So long "a carpet baggers remain III
our midst just 50 long will dissensions
exist between both races. Have yo,,
not noticed the friendly and brother
! ~ attitude these scamps assume to-
wards you on tile approach Of an
election. This is done to secure your
support, but when the election is over
they leave for large cities where they
can spend their i'll gotten gains, and
where if you would happen to meet
them they would not even recognize
you. Colored men, the election is at
hand. Choose between the native
and the carpet-bagger: But let that
choice he one Of calm, judicious deli
Iteration, and not made under The
smarting belief that you are born tic
enemy If tho Caucasian race. Let
that choice spring from the heart,
let your better feelings plead for the
country, and ,liscthrl all animosities,
all imaginary wrongs. When you d"
this you will become honest aud con-
scientious citizens, and until you da
so you will he the instrument, the
cats paw Of those base political swim
dlers who infest the land.

death bed, came the blood hounds of
Marshal Packard, to summon him to
their bastile-llis house was surround

too weak to be removed it was pro-
posed to leave u guard over him,
which the officer in command declin-

THUS he died a virtual prisoner to
the U. s. deputy Marshal, preferins
to return his noble soul to the great

Rowdyism Don't Pay.

John jess, for disturbing an ut-door re-
ligious meeting in Davenport, was fined $50
and costs-$29 so in all. In sentencing
the defendant, Justice kaufman announc-
his opinion of the conduct complained of in
language that all could understand.
Threats had been made by Jess friends
that if he was fined they would defeat JUS
tice Kaufman if he ever ran for office
again. Abiding to this kind of talk, he
said he despised the men who uttered the
threats. He had fought to defend the flag
of this country, and would fight, if need
be, for the lau of the land that gives us
all equal privileges. The men who aided
and pushed forward the defendant should
now come forward and assist him in paying
bis fiue. 1t would do them no harm, he
believed, to spend the money they received
at elections to learn the law Men that
say they would not vote for me again,
might understand that he valued the dis
charge of his duty in executing the law,
and the approval Of his own conscience far
more than the votes OF men who disgrace
themselves by open advocacy OF mob law.
The honorable and honest Germans con-
denim the actions of these men. lie was a
German by birth, but an American citizen
by adoption, and no dctation would ever
tempt him to disgrace his oountrymen by
encouraging such conduct as that the de-
PENDANT had been guilty of. He gave no,
tice that the next offender of that kind
who should be brought him would be fiued
to the full extent of the law.
1t is said that the German preachers
have asked to have the fine RENTED, be-
lieving the lesson of Jess trial and his
prompt punishment will have the effect OF
restraining any further attempts to disturb
religious services.
