Smoke House Robssd. .....
The smoke house of one of our citizens
was entered one night las. week and
robbed OF two hams, two shoulders and.
two niddlings. The party or parties had
a key to the lock of the 'oor.. If it were
possible to discover the perpetrators of
this bod theft, and summary punishment
inflicted, we have no doubt it would have
salutary effect.

ARMs.-The people should contin-
ually bear in mind that the negroes
are organized into a secret military
league; that they are continually
drilled; and that they are supplied
by the Radical leaders with arms to
be used against the whites. They
should not forget the arms that were
allowed to pass up the river in the
hands of the very men who were en-
gagged in the unlawful assembly at
Colfax in April 1873. The duty of
self-protection impels every white
man to be fully prepared for the dan
ger which appears so threatening.
We suggest that every white m an
supply himself with improved weap-
ons, and keep on hand supply of
ammunition. Moreover, let strict
eye be kept on the leaders. The ne
groes will behave themselves if lei
alone. The men who lead them into
danger run away, as at Colfax, when
danger approaches.
| 8 We speak whereof we know. News
from all quarters assure us that the
Radicals are preparing to perpetuatt
their power by massacre of thu
whites if necessary. Keep this con
stantly before the people, and if the,
neglect to be prepared, it will be
fatal error.

Party of Louisiana sigNed by their
President, the Honorable Emile La
Sere, and issued to the true and white
people of Louisiana, and without fear,
hesitation or shame commend it to
the careful and thoughtful perusal of
our readers. We recommend and en-
dorse it as q clear, impassioned and
truthful statement of our condition,
its tenets being broad and compre-
hcnsiye enough for all parties OPP
posed to Radicalism. But we are
compelled and reluctantly forced to
admit and state, that in call for the
Convention the Committee have made
q false and fatal step, which we urge
them at once, in the name of the SOY
ereign people of the State, outside Of
New Orleans, to change and alter
We mean and designate that false
step and ugly mistake to be the ma
ming of New Orleans Us the place fol
the Convention to be held. We tel
them, plainly, candidly, seriously
that they are not going to New Orleans
and will not send delegates there, ano
the sooner the Committee know this
and make the change the better. Tht
New Orleans part is just fresh ant
LIQUID firebrand thrown in our midst
and one which will right at the star
create confusion, bad feelings, bite
discord, and cause orr start, or ever
unity, to be worse, far worse, than il
1872. The change must be made
the Committee must make it, and a
once, and substitute some centra

ton may assemble on the fourtl
Monday in August. There is ample
time to give notice of this change ant
we urge immediate and prompt &C
