Bloody CaddO.

The Shreveport Times of the twenty
ninth does not approve the latest murder
committed in that parish. Perhaps it fears
this .'red-handed work. is being little
overdone, so far as it's effects upon the next
election are concerned:
In noticing in our issue of yesterday the
killing of an aged negro man by unknown
parties, we stated that the crime had been
committed in the neighbOrhood of Summer
Grove. We have since learned that this
was an error. The old negro resided twelve twelve
miles below this city, near Bayou Pierre,
and it was there that he was killed. The
brutal affair is still veiled in mystery, but
the impression in the neighb0rhOOd is that
he was killed by some of his own race.
Whether this be SO or not, it seems to have
been foul and brutal murder, and the pre-.
petratOrs of it, white or black, should be
ferretted out and the severest penalty of
the law visited upon them. We are ready
to uphold and defend any extraordinary
measures our people may find it necessary
to adopt in this crisis to protect society.
but we also say that acts Of wantOn out
rage by vicious and Incorporate men
should not be tolerated. We know that
this act was not committed by any of our
citizens, and we earnestly hope the wretches
who murdered poor old negro over sew
enty years of age, stone deaf and home
less, may be brought to justice.
There has been some red-handed work
done in this parish that was necessary, but
it was evidently done by cool, determined
and Just men, who knew just how far to 60,
and we doubt not if the same kind of work
is necessary, it will be done. But let it not
be understood that acts of wantOn killing
are to be permitted, or that hOt-headed men
are to be allowed to interfere with or reck-
lessly wrong the colOred people of the par
ish We admOnish all such characters to
stand back.
The fact is this poor old cOlored man
lived in the vicinity of the place where poor
Munos lost his life three weeks ago, and
there is reason to believe he was murdered
by the same gang of White League assas-
sins whose action in killing the Spaniard
the Times still commends. Upon this sub
.ject the Times OF the twenty-ninth says:
The Kellogg organ of this city yesterday
evening published q proclamation from
Kellogg, offering q reward of $1,000 for such
evidence as shall lead to the conviction of
''the murderers" of the Spanish desperate,
Manuel MunOs. who was recently killed in
this parish. Kellogg speaks OF the dead
| desperate who had been sent here to arm
| the negroes against our people as an indus.
| triOus and deserving Spaniard. We shall
next hear of naturalists describing tigers
| and wildcats as gentle, harmless and do
mestic animals. Kellogg in this matter
| constitutes himself accuser, judge and jury,
| and prOnOunces that murder which all
| the facts known here 60 to prove was an
| act of self-defense.

More White League "Nlachinery" nj
Work.

The following is from the Shreveport
Southwestern Telegram of the thirtieth
ultimo:
We have been shown a postal card ad-
dressed to and received by Mr.. Purnell,
cashier of the Freedman's Savings Bank,
notifying him to leave the town within
twenty-four hours, and signed l. 0. U. If
this sort of thing is being done by some
shallow fool as joke, we can assure him
that it is a very poor one and is regarded
by the respectable portion Of the cOmmu-
nity as damnable outrage. If on the
other hand the card was sent with serious
intent by any hot-headed fanatic we tell
him that it is the act of q cowardly assas-
sin who has not manliness enough to meet
his foe in open day. The community is
heartily sick Of these disgraceful outrages,
and steps will be taken to ferret out the
perpetrator, who, when discovered, will be
taught lesson to heartily sicken him o.
such actions. The reputation Of the city Of
Shreveport is too valuable to be destroyed
by such craven, underhand, cowardly work
and we feel authorized in the name Of al
good citizens to denounce it and its author
or authors.

Letters from Beecher.

New YORK, August 5.-Letters from
Beecher to MOultOn are made public to-day.
The former requests MOultOn to bring all
letters and papers relating to his case be-
fore the committee, and thus bring it to
result, and upon the refusal of Moulton
Beecher writes another letter, dated yester-
day, expressing regret and astonishment at
such action, saying in the letter:
"On your solemn and repeated assur-
ances of personal friendship, and in the un-
questioning confidence with which you in
spired me of your honor and fidelity, /
placed in your hands, for safe keeping, let
ters addressed to me from my brother, my
memoranda of affairs not Immediately con-
nected with Mr.. TiltOn's matters. l also
from time to time addressed you confiden-
tial notes relating to myself, as one friend
would writo to another.
"These papers were never placed in your
hands to be held for two parties, Or be used
in any way; they were to be held tor me.
1 did not wish them to be subject to the
risk of loss or scattering from my careless
habits in matters of preserving documents;
they were to be held for me. Insofar as
the papers are concerned, you were only q
friendly trustee holding them, subject to
my wishes.
"Mr. TiltOn has made a deadly assault
upon me, and has used letters, and frag-
ments OF letters, purpOrting to be copies OF
| these papers.

garbled! What are their dates9 What, if
| anything has been left out, what put in :
You refuse my demand for these papers on
| various pleas; that if l speak the truth in
my statement, l do not need them; that if
gain access to them it will be an injury
| to Mr.. Tilton, and that you, as friend to
both parties, are bound not to aid either in
| any act that shall injure the other"
The Investigation.
The Plymouth Church committee will
continue to hear Moulton and Beecher, and
will probably report Saturday.
Judge Riley dismissed the Tilton libel
| suit.
1t is reported that General B. F.. Butler
has been telegraphed for, and will be in
BroOklyn tonight.
Frank Moulton told reporter of the
Brooklyn Eagle to-day that he had decided
to appear before the Beecher committee.

The Conscience Fund.
WASHINGTON, August 5.-FOur hundred
dollars conscience money was received at
the treasury to-day from this city.
The Postal Car Question.
The Philadelphia postal cars came in last
night and this morning as usual, without
detention at baltimore, and left Washing
ton last night and this morning, passing
over Hinckley's road, as formerly. 1t is
now almost certain that Mr.. Hinckley will
continue to perform the service, knowing
that Tom Scott will accept it if he don't,
trusting to Congress to grant him the extra
compensation asked for.
The Pacific Mail Service.
The Attorney General has decided that
the contract for additional mail service be-
tween San Francisco, Japan and China, as
still subsisting, and that the Pacific Mail
| Steamship Company is entitled to have its
new iron steamships inspected, with a view
| of putting them into service.
The Question of Salvage.
He has also decided that United States
| marshal having an attachment against
goods for salvage is entitled to take the
| property attached into his custody and
hold it until disposed of by the court issu-
ing the attachment
Bristow's Financial Policy.
| A paragraph mas Deon puDllSho0 TO the oI-
| feet that Secretary Bristow had stated that
| at the next session of Congress he proposed
| to ask that the law providing for the issue
of $500, 1000, 900 of four and half per cent
bonds be so amended as to make the rate
| of interest five per cent and the issue $500, :
900 900; also stating that in the opinion of
the Secretary he could not successfully
negotiate the four and half per cent loan.
This is emphatically denied, and it is
stated that as soon as the Secretary has
disposed of the five per cent loan he will
take means to negotiate at once thereafter
the four and a half per cents, and that he
anticipates no trouble in negotiating the
loan in Europe.

Green, Mr.. William Vigers name was added
by Mr.. Burch, and the three were elected
by acclamation.
Mr.. Hill moved that the chair appoint
committee of nine on credentials.
Mr.. Blunt moved to amend that the dele
gates elect the committee. He also con-
sidered that no one whose seat was con-
tested should vote.
The chair considered the convention
competent to settle the question. He would
appoint no one on the committee whose
seat was contested.
Mr.. Blunt considered this satisfactory
and withdrew his motion.
The main question was ordered and
carried.
Mr.. Burch-I move that this convention
be governed by the rules of the General
Assembly.
Mr.. Murrell-What are those! Do you
mean the House or Senate!
Mr.. Burch-I said the General Assembly
Don't you know what that is!
Mr.. Murrell-I know what the General
Assembly is very well, as the gentleman il
aware, but I never heard of any par
liamentary rules for it. Those of the House
and Senate are not alike. move to amend
