st. Martinsvilte Quiet.

As showing the reign of brutality existing
in many country parishes, we publish a
letter just received by the Governor. White
League and Ku-Klux patriots are at their
work. Parish and State officials are routed
from their Offices, and driven from their
homes. The papers which speak approx
ingly of these acts Of lawlesspess, say the
usurpers accomplish their deeds with firm
ness, but not forcibly." Jonathan Wild and
Claude Duval were firm men. If their
victims would only stand and deliver, there
could be no trouble. 1t is with frmness
that the White League Democrats warn
Northern and colored men to leave their
homes. The matter of breaking open
trunks and carrying away property, which
unthinking people might call house-break-
ing and robbery, is incidental and but an
illustration of the playful manner in which
the good Democrat does his work of exter-
minating people who differ from him in
opinion. 1t would require a paper larger
than ours to publish the daily record of
outrages inflicted on Republicans in this
State. The letter of Mr.. Hurst is as fol-
lows:
ST. MARrINvILLE, August Is, 1874.
William Pitt Kellogg, Governor of louisiana
DEAR SIR-Yesterday evening, at about
three or four o'clock, a mob Of about 100
men armed with shot guns and rifles, headed
by one Fournet, ex-parish judge, forcibly
entered my house, broke open my armoir,
all my trunks, taking my shotgun and
revolver and destroying all my furniture.
After their villalnous conduct was ordered
to leave the parish within twenty-four
hours; my father-in-law is also ordered to
leave the parish; in fact every colored man
and white Republican. l trust something
will be done to put stop to these unlawful
proceedings. Very respectfully,
JOHN HURST.

which is so often moined with bravery.
He is probably the least imposing of all
generals when under fire. 1t is said that
he never drew his sword when on the battle
field. and pointed out everything he wanted
not with the swords end. but in the COM
monest way with his finger; and the only
thing that could drive him angry or excited
when under fire was when his cigarette case
was empty.
Altogether with a nature like this, with
plenty OF money at his command, with a
courageous and devoted wife by his side,
and with natural desire to make the
world talk of him in better terms than it
talks now, we have no doubt Bazaine will
soon undertake something new. What it
may be no one can know. out it would be
against all the laws OF human nature that
an ambitious desperate such as he should
ever consent to lead the opprobrious life
which he necessarily will have to lead un-
less he goes somewhere and does something
big. To assume any possibility of that sort
would be much to underrate the strength
of the rascal ele ments of human nature

The Market Cases.

In the belief that the order OF the Supe-
rior District Court to the civil sheriff would
protect them, yesterday morning number
of the free market men opened their stores
and attempted to do business. Admins
traitor Turnbull was alert and with one ex-
ception closed tnem all with the aid of the
police. At the market of Jules Lemoine, on
Old Levee street, Sheriff Dick had deter.
mined to make stand. At four o'clock the
police came and were ordered away. They
went, but soon returned accompanied by
Mr.. Turnbull. Mr.. Dick inquired if he in
tended to close the market, and Mr. Turn.
bull, evading the question, stepped to the
banquet and ordered the police to close it.
In this they were resisted by the sherifs,
and on MIR. Turnbull's order arrested them.
Some over Jealous officers attempted
harsher measures than were proper, but
they were speedily checked. Mr.. Dick
made the remark that if Mr.. Turnbull in
tended to close the market he should arrest
him. The sheriff was then parolled to ap.
pear before Justice Staes at P. NJ.
In the interval he had an interview with
Judge Hawkins, and there being already
an injunction issued in the case of Jules
Lemoine he was ordered to enforce it by ar
rest if necessary. At one o'clock Mr.. Dick
appearing before Justice Staes asked a con-
tinuance till P. N. to enable him to attend
to office duties. At little before two, he
found Mr. Turnbull in the Office of Judge
Cotton and arrested him, paroling him to
appear before the Superior District Court
at two. At that hour Judge Hawkins was
not present, and writ of habeas corpus
was taken out returnable before Judge
Lynch at S P. M.
That part Of the case was then heard, and
is sufficiently detailed in the opinion of
Judge Lynch in the Court Record.
The case before Justice Staes was con-
tinued till P. NJ. to-day.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Among the new books laid upon our table
for review, is one of eighteen pages, entitled
ITO the Voters of Louisiana" written py E.
Ewing. Written, as it was, out OF tne
hurry y-burly, in the quiet shades OF Aooe7liie'
it is, in many respects, distinguished pro-
duction. The writer informs MS Ieno"'
citizens that on the first Monday OF NoVem-
ber tnev will be called upon to choose
State Treasurer, and that he has reluctantly
allowed his name to be used as candldate'
although the Baton Rouge convention has
not vet assembled. In this connection, he
refers to an unknown time, when there
were no s!necurists in Office; when cor
ruption was a thing unknown" lhen
he asks himself: ''But why dilate on
the pas.,' Following this, comes
beautiful sentence: "True the suoiimity OF
our thoughts are carried and wondering
involuntarily and rapturously midst lts
murky ylabyrlnths-their grandeur looms up
at times majestically in our furtive magma
tions, and we long vainlessly to be carried
back to those bright and palmy days OF
wore Let US leave for the present the
uuondam realm of bliss and happiness, and
hasten nolen volens to grapple with the
odious present"
Whatever may be the other qualifications
Of Mr.. D1buclet, who is to be elected Treas
urer, it is certain that he can not write like
the Abbeviile poet. 'TO relieve US Of this
unpleasant dilemma" he continues, II
would have recourse to some harsh reme-
dial process" Our author then lays down
an excellent platform, abOlishlng bad laws
doing away with sinecure offices, reducing
salaries, ETC., all of which is to be accom-
plished by the State Treasurer. He would
be united in a solid phalanx. Speaking OF
funding the public debt he aptly says: 20 !!
blush, where art thy shamer' This must
be considered sound policy. That he is a
religious man and familiar with the Scrip
tures appears in paragraph to the effect
that our present officeholders "look down
with contumely upon the people as hewers
of wood and carriers of water"
In dealing with the colored voter Mr..
Ewing exhibits much more shrewdness
than the White Leaguers. He would allow
colored men to vote for him sooner than
kill them. He calls them his "colored
friends" and reasons with them ungram-
matically, but kindly, as follows: with
some exceptions, the humble home you
dwell in does not belong to you, and the
prospect of their ever belonging to you is
very distant, if you do not change your
political course and join us in the rescue"
Upon the whole "To the Voters of Louis
lana" is remarkable book. 1t is singular
illustration of how the Office modestly seeks
the man, and it is humorous enough to
cause smile on the face of rival candi
data

He Was Doubted.

The Elizabeth Journal says: ''He was q
fragile, interesting young man with dyed
moustache. BE said his parents were poor
but honest, his father being retired boun-
tyjumper, and his mother had acquired
small fortune from her operations ss pro-
fessional shoplfter. He said he had never
stolen anything in broad daylight, and that
his parents had early imbued him with
principles and taught his youthful footsteps
to tread in the straight and narrow path of
the horse thief. He wanted to sell us
book that would enable us to become rich
in twenty-four hours and fourteen seconds,
teach blind mule to dance, or marry that
lovely and rich orphan next door. That
manly independence which actuated one of
our family. during the late internecine
squabb!e, when he threw himself upon the
altar OF his country as a government con-
tractor, arose within US. as we brought
backward the heel of our right boot to wipe
speck Of mud from the tail of our coat.
Then the muscles of our leg relaxed, and
our delicate number four cut the air like
swallow on the homeward fly. He counted
the nails in the soles of his shoes. and we
wiped our fevered brow"

Tho Beecher Committees Report.
The Brooklyn Union says the report of
the Beecher committee will not OCCUPY
more than twenty pages of foOlscap. The
only difficulty the subcommittee have
experienced is as to the arrangement and
publication of the testimony taken before
the committee. 1t will, it is said, be left
to the decision Of the entire investigating
committee, OF, if necessary, to the examin.
ing committee of the church, to say if it
shall be published or not, as parts of it are
absolutely obscene.
A Portion SuDnressed
A Brooklyn paper of this afternoon
asserts that stenOgrapher who has full
and complete report of Beecher's cross
examination, told one of its reporters that
from ten to fifteen foolscap pages were sup
pressed when the copy was handed out for
publication.
eIore frpm Tilton.
The same paper says that Tilton has
nearly completed his new statement, which
will be more voluminOus than the paper
containing the original charges, and that
MOulton was engaged in the forenoon read
ing the proof sheets of his long anticipated
statement, which will undoubtedly be given
to the public within forty.eight hours.
Notwithstanding the above it is believed
in some quarters in Brooklyn that Moulton
is even yet engaged in the preparation of
his statement.
Fees In CustOmh0use Seizures.
Judge Blatchford to-day decided that the
United States district attorney is still en-
titled to two per cent, and the clerk of the
United States District Court to one per
cent on all moneys recovered in the Gus
tomhOuse seizure suits in this district. He
holds that the law of 1874 abolishing
moieties and informers' fees does not cover
the allowance of these percentages, which
are given in lieu of costs and fees; that the
district attorney and clerk should other
wise be elected to in the suits mentioned,
but which are not allowed by any pro-
vision of the law

travellers, who owe them so much. Could
our people occasionally meet such gentle
men as Tim Calvin, Patrick Quigley, c. P.
Savage. Fred Fielder and James Conley,
and talk quietly with them about their daily
experiences, the position of railroad engi-
neer would soon loom up in deserving
light.
1t is not saying too much tor the man
ayers that they display excellent judgment
in choosing employees generally and indi'
vidually. As to the road itself, all who
have travelled over it will unhesitatingly
certify as to its excellence.

Sugar Cane i'm Mississippi.

For several years past small farmers in
the piney woods of Mississippi have been
making limited experiments in sugar cane
1t was, before the war, supposed impossi-

would yield anything more than little
juice to supply craving appetites of the
rising generation who delighted in sweets
Gradually there has been an increase in
the production, and when, last season.
chemist analyzed the product of several
stalks gathered at random and pronounced
it quite equal to any raised in Louisiana,
people opened their eyes, scarce daring to
believe that the sandy soil of our sister
State was SO valuable.
To-day, almost every farmer from Pearl
river mouth to the Alabama line has good
patch of cane. Mr.. E. Meyers, in Harrison
county, four or five miles north Of Missis-
sippi City, on Biloxi river, has large field
of ribbon cane which will compare favor
ably with the best in st. Mary parish. Mr..
Meyers home is on high point, but short
distance above Back Bay Biloxi, where the
orange thrives splendidly. The top soil is
fine sand, but this is not more than twelve
inches deep, under which is a bed Of good
clay. He has turned up the latter, mixing
1t well with the sand, and the result has
been so favorable that he is seriously think
ing of giving up his lumber business after
next year and embarking in the sugar and
molasses interest His experience is that
of several others in that section, and all
who have paid any attention to cane will
testify to the above. This is indeed a revo-
luton, and it is safe to predict that in less
than five years our neighbors will be inquis-

Railroad to the Watering Places.

1t is probable that the number of people
who have travelled over the Mobile and
New Orleans railroad this summer has fully
doubled that of any former season. Old
prejudices have grown thin and many of
the anciens who almost shed tears when
the Mississippi Sound steamboats, were
withdrawn now cOndescend to travel by
rail, even occasionally wondering why they
ever regretted the loss of boats, exorbitant
fares and loss of time. Even the old regime
willingly delcare that the advantages,
everything considered, are in favor of rail
riding.
This reminds US that kindly words are
due not only to the road managers, but to
the employees, who do so much toward
making trip pleasant, particularly to the
watering places, as well as to Mobile. The
conductors, engineers and others on the
cars are particularly anxious for the well
fare of travellers, and often submit to petty
annoyances rather than follow strict regu-
lations. Ladies and children, without COM
pany, almost daily travel from place to
place, never thinking it more necessary
to have protector there than on street
railroad at home. This pleasant condition
of things is in great part due to tho eff
cient conductors and engineers. With one
voice our people testify that Conductors II.
P. Bayley, William Murray, Joseph Star
ling, P. T. Downes and H. Milne are all
that is required Of gentlemen in their pro-
fession from one end of the year to the
other. Of course this is very fattering to
the recipients, but truly deserving. Of the
engineers, who are seldom seen or thought
of by passengers, but who really deserve
the most credit, too much praise can not be
accorded. To them is intrusted the great
sponsibility-care of human life. The
record of this road since its completion is
the best recommendation that can be
offered. The number of lives lost or limbs
bruised is so small that close reader can
barely remember when IN accident oc-
