compelling, by force Of arms, the State officers
OF that parish 10 resign their positions. These
officers were men OF good character, most OF
them being largely interested IN planting ani
mercantile pursuits They held their posi-

large majority OF the legal voters Of the
parish, tins being a heavily Republican par
lsh, as admitted by the fusion returning
boards. The only known objection TO them
was that they were OF Republican principles.
Frank EdgertOu, the duly qualified sheriff Of
the parish, in strict compliance with
the laws Of the state ana Of the
United States, summoned posse COM
itutus Of citizens, white and cOiOred, 70 assist
him In protecting the parish officers L the eN-

White Leagues. His posse, consisting Of sixty
