The Programme.

To-n9sHt the supporters Of the Baton
Rouge ticket will met at the Varieties
Theatre to ratify the nominations. Every
arrangement has been made to procure the
attendance of large crowd, and no doubt
the best orators of the party will address
the meeting. Rumor has it that, among
other proceedings to be had, the meeting
will appoint committee to interview
Governor Kellogg on the subject OF appoint
ments of registrars, etc. The committee
falling to obtain the desired concessions
from the Governor, it is said mass meet
ing will be called at Clay statue, at noon, OF
an early day, when it is proposed by some
of the hot headed ones to resolve themselves
into a committee of the whole to wait upon
the Governor, and, in case he still persists
in refusing their demands, to escort him
beyond the State lines, and places MIR. NC
Emery in the executive chair
We receive this rumor with a great deal
Of allowance, for it is no more than justice
to the able managers of the opposition to
nresume that they will hesitate before
going step too far in the direction Of open
rebellion to the laws and the constituted
authority of the State. In the meantime,
the authorities should be vigilant and pre-
pared to meet any exhibition of riotous
spirit with promptness and firmness.

Texas and Louisiana.

They meet and contend on the magic
sogare. Those redoubtable athletes of the
4. E. Lee club went last week to Galveston.
Texas, to play some base ball games with
the children of the Lone Star State. So far
one game has been played The Lees Of
Orleans made twenty-seyen runs, and the
Pastimes Of Galveston made one run. 1t is
in order to remark, alphabetically, that
the Louisiana boys Won that game.
The 4. E. Lee club have been well re.
ceived by the people OF Texas. That last
sentence need not have been written,
for every one knows that Texan always
leaves the string on the outside of the door,
especially when a Louisianian is expected
around.
1t is to be hoped that the Texas boys will
repay the visit of the Lee club, and, having
taken leaf cut of the base ball book,
snatch back their lost laureis.
Base ball, like billiards, IS mighty uncer'
tain. and though victory now perches upon
the Pelican banner, the Lone Star may soon
beam above the Crescent. Sic transit.

An Incident.

The Sea Coast Republican relates an incl
dent that recently transpired in Claiborne
avenue Car, while the editor was in New
Orleans:
Four white and three colored men were
in the car. A sickly looking old white wo-
man, with blind and deformed boy, ap-
parently twelve or fourteen years old, got
in, and the mother dropped five cents IN
the box. The driver called for another
fare, which she said she could not pay, and
he was about to order her out, with her
blind and crippled boy, when one OF the
colored passengers promptly passed u up the the
fare, and in q moment afterward lett tne
car. It was not the amount in this case,
but the kindness of the act-the charitable
motive-the modest and unostentatlous
manner, that attracted our notice. On IN
ouiry we learned that the gentleman was
Hon. George Swaize, of Bayou Sara, who
is, we believe, member of the Louisiana
Legislature. Such man "will do TO tle
to.5 and We honor him as ono of natures

The Excitement in the Attakapas.

The Opelousas Journal, of August %,
gives the following interesting account OF
the excitement produced in that section OF
the country by the rumor that the Metro
politans were moving on st. Martinsville:
Last Sunday evening it was reported here
by special dispatches to special parties
borne by corlriers, it is said. that sixty i've
Metropolitan police had arrived at ana
they wanted help. 1t seems that the par.
ishes of St. Martin, Lafayette, Iberia and
St. Mary, all lying below here, did not con-
tain enough White Leaguers to clean out
sixty-ive Of kellogg's police. Again, 1t
was reported that these slxty-hve had ac-
tually routed the whites of st. Martin, and
St, Landry must come to the rescue. IN
some fparts of this parish the report was
circulated that the negroes from al quar-
ters, even from this parish. were hooking
to st. Martinsville, where they were being
armed and equipped for general war on
the whites; and that large number were
at BAYOU Carancro, or Bayon Bourbeux,
some miles below here, coming this way to
murder the whites and pillage the country.
Only three or four miles from town the re-
mort was that several hundred were in arms
here and a riot imminent On Monday
thirty or forty men came to town TO oHer
their services to the snerlH, u nlalA Jail
peace and order. But they found the town
unusually quiet (many of the politicians
being in Baton Rouge) and brought US the
first information Of the report they had re-
ceived.
When the mail arrived Monday evening
the driver stated positively that there were
no militia or police at St. Martinsvllie.
Now there has been Dig fuss about
nothing. The whole parish has been ex,
cited, and many persons under arms, caused
by reports that had no foundation. How
these false reports started we can not un-
derstand, except they were originally man
ufactured and circulated by evil dlsposeo
persons who want to see the country IN
volved in trouble. One lady who was az
Point-aux. .Loups springs, thirty mics
southwest of here, hurried oack to her
family because she heard fighting was gong
on at Opelousas. The town has oeen une
usual]y Quiet, except from the visitatlons OF
those from the country VINO were exclteo
by these false and unre asonabie reports.
No militia or police could reach st. Mar
tinsviile from New Orleans, before we re-
ceived news of their departure from the
latter pIace, in the city papers which come
daily, A moments reflection, a little
ANALYSIS Of such reports, would make 1t
evident TO any ordinary mind that they
were false.

The Case OF Commissioner Frisbie.

The numerous irregularities of Ii. N
Frisbie, whom Judge Woods most ill-advis-
edly appointed United States commits
sioner, were partially ventilated yesterday
befor United States Commissioner Craig,
on the charges preferred by Michael Giee-
son. The case has come Up before, but Sir.
Frisbie has caused delay and postpone
ment. Yesterday the case was again opened
and Commissioner Craig thus disposed OF
the first objection Of Mr.. Frisbie, that the
court had no authority to issue subpoena
duces team to produce the papers in the
case of United States VS.. Michael Gleeson:
have had the question under considera-
ton and am not yet fully satisfied as to the
right of United States commissioner
under the circumstances TO issue q writ Ut
satbpTna dMces tecum.
do not regard the relationship Between
the United States commissioner and the
United States courts as the same that eX-
lists between the justices of the peace and
the State courts. OF course the commission
er has to execute the laws of the United
States, but he is appointed by the court, is
subject to removal by the court, and do
not think that the commissioner is any
under his powers as such comes the right to
issue the Subpoena duces tecum, is a question,
but have been empowered by she court to
issue it.
Commissioners Craig gursheP safd he had
the written authorization Of Judge Woods,
which he refused to show to counsel, and
would issue q writ Of contempt if his sub
pena was disobeyeds The documents were
then filed, Mr.. Frisbie's counsel having in
dulged in much unnecess ary talk
The case then procee ded and it was
shown that Mr.. Frisbie had attempted to
extort from Michael Glee son S. for bond;
that when the extortion was resisted he
had sent him to the Parish Prison, and that
he released him the next day, the money
having been paid previously.
The evidence for the defense was merely
negative, and the effort made to show that
Gleeson was sent to the Parish Prison be-
cause he did not procure bondsman; but
the same witnesses disclosed that he had
already furnished solvent security, and one
of them confirmed the demand of S..
Testimony was offered and objected to rela
tive to fees OF United States commissioners,
and the case was continued to allow Com
missioner Craig to decide whether Mr..
Frisb;e was justified in exacting fees not
allowed by law, but as he claims, sane
toned by CUSTOM
This is absurd. There Is no United States
officer who can legally receive any fee not
prescribed by United States statute. The
raising Of this objection is enough to show
the irregularty of the practices of Mr..
Frisbie, and there is alre ady sufficient testi.
mony to show he has been guilty of such
conduct as will authorize Judge Wood to
remove him.

benefit of one or tee other of the parties to
the union. &. I. BEACREGARD,
lhosn


Since these kind expressions and pledges
were offered to "ohe children Of the soil,"
the colored people of Louisiana have la
bored faithfully and industriously, and have
produced one Of the best crops this State
has known for years. Though suffering
from overflow and temporary want in many
parishes, they have as body been peaceful
a1d law abiding. In mono of the cases of
alleged "negro ris;ngs' and NEGRO riots"
have they been the asgressors, while in all
cases they have been to greater or less
extent the sufferers. If the rights and priv
ileces which were so voluntarily and effu-
siyely offered them last year were due them
then, the colored people are still more de-
serving Of them now,
We suggest, therefore, that the Peoples
party of 1874 adop. tAe Peoples platform
of 1878. 1t has very many advantages
over the clumsy, contradictory, untruthful
rhodomantaie suggested at Baton Rouge.
Not the least is that it defines who the peo-
pie of Louisiana really are, viz: IAN
men of Whatever race, color or religion,
who are citizens OF Louisiana, and who
are willing to work for her prosperity
The Baton Rouge pronunciamento ad.
dresses itself mainly to those who do not
fill the most important Of these conditions

Scdition Mt Kingston.

New YORK, August 3l.-Advices from
Kingston, Jamaica, to the twenty-secOnd
state that the government is permitting
mischievous agitation in the colony by
meetings and through a small discontented
press, by which its Indicated portion Of the
colony, which is mixed race, is being
gradually excited against Englishmen and
English rule.
There is more sedition'taught now than in
1865, when the disturbances broke out, and
it only requires an opportunity such as an
accidental fire IN Kingston to develop
terrible disturbances under the inetigation
of few evil disposed men anxious to
defeat the administration and create
trouble.

diately, under certain restrictions.

to Throw the Crime upon the Texans
Thirteen Lives Taken for the Crime
of Northern Birth and Republican
Principles-The Normal Effect Of JUS
tice Bradley's Decision.
SHREVEPORT, August 3l.-The air is full
of rumors concerning the Coushatta trOub-
les, but none of them can be traced to a
reliable source. A gentleman who left
COushatta yesterday morning reports all
quiet there, and the citizens were discussing
the propriety of removing the prisoners to
Shreveport. 1t is reported today that the
prisoners were intercepted near Mansfield
by party of Texans, and hanged, but the
driver of the Mansfield stage, which has
just arrived, proRounces the report entirely
unfOunded.
The Shreveport Times has just received
the following special from Minden: "a
gentleman just from Red River says that the
company OF men who started to Shreveport
with the COushatta prisoners were over
taken twenty. three miles below Shreveport
Sunday evening about three O'Clock by
forty or fifty armed men, supposed to
be Texans from beyond the Sabine, who
took the prisoners out Of the hands of the
gudCU anu kllloO aOmcC xWllCuell, DOU
Devices and Frank EdgertOn on the spot.
the other three, Howell, Holland and
Willis escaped, but were recaptured, and
are supposed to have shared the same fate.
"The prisoners requested to be taken to
Shreveport and selected the men to take
charge of the-company that was to guard
them. Every precautiOn was taken be-
lieved to be necessary to insure their safety.
The citizens were satisfied with the assur-
ances that they would leave the State, and
did not desire to take harsh measures. The
Texans swore that they did not intend to
have such ID scounarels hunting homes
| in their State.
''The gentleman from whom we gather this
| information says he saw the dead bodies OF
| the three first mentioned parties"
This dispatch is not generally credited
here, as various parties have arrived to-day
| from Mansfield, Keachi and Kingston, who
must have passed near the scene Of the
murders, and they bring no information on
| the subject. Strong hopes are entertained
| that this report, Like the earlier ones, may
prove untrue.

Republican that but little interest attaches
to them. The Legislature to be elected will
