ANOTHER GONE GLIMMERING.
A Kellogg Justice Of the Peace and Uni
ted States Postmaster at TangipahOa
AbscOnds with Funds.

It would really appear that Kellogg, in
making his appointments for the parishes,
had, with rare judgment and marvellous dis
elimination, selected the most consummate
rascals in this quarter of the globe. We have
yet to hear Of half dozen of his appointees
who are regarded as anything more estimable
than highway robbers. Is it any wonder the
people of the country are moving when such
scamps have been systematically plundering
them for years? Is it not rather more won
derful that they have not, as Watterson says,
dis overed the benefcent use of the double
barreled shot gun or the virtue Of hemp?

over this benighted portion of Gods own country,
and as it is within the province Of the peoples

we do not hesitate to call upon the BULLETIN to
chronicle the events that have occasioned the loss
to the Radical party OF one OF its most prominent
members.
short time ago, there appeared among us
dappcr little man, with roseate complexion,
that spoke Of other clmes, and little blue coat,
very suggestive Of government service.
The rustic pertinacity with which we always
endeavor to find out who you are, and what do
You want, was effectually re listed and the mys-
FERROUS man was finally set down as only some
fellow come out to make speeches to the negroes.
But he finally commenced to interview some of
our citizens, the result Of which always was that
the aforesaid citizens would suddenly become
wise hammered and mysterious looking and cast
over us a dread expectancy that they too would
soon assume little blue coat. Suddenly the
little man was missing and the realization of
greater loss was in store for us. For j. +.

He could not satisfactorily explain to our little
friend, who was U. s. Detective, what had be-

pensioners OF the L. s., and having given up the
conundrum in disgust, is now supposed to be

for this section, and under his administration
some two or three thousand dollars became non

the loss and considered perfectly satisfactory by
our present rulers, was that the money had been
used for party purposes.
And yet our people complain that there are no
schools. We shall doubtless miss our worthy
old official and mourn for the inotfensive manner
with which he was wont to appropriate all
shekels that came within his grasp. But the
quiet determination Of our people that mighty
change must and shall take place this coming
November, should warn many of his clan to re-
