To the Editor of the Bulletin
The people are at last moving in this
parish. The miserable harpies who have
been tattening upon our substance have been
brought up standing and made to confront the
majesty Of an outraged people. We have had
two rousing taxpayers meetings, and we have
proclaimed to the cormorants (white) and
their negro allies that they could go no fur
Their The negroes were told in unmistakable
terms that we had offered everything to them
that we could, and that, hereafter, we were
two peoples, the sehite and the black, and if
they choose now to come to as, we would well
come them as CONDUCTORS in the reformation
we were about to start.
On the bridge leading to the town two
negroes, with Radical badges, were stationed
Lewis and Theodule Monette, who told the
good negroes who were coming to the meet
ing that it was Democratic meeting, and if
they went they would be mobbed that all the
Radicals had left the town for fear of their
lives. These two fellows are the two leading
mischief makers of the parish, but if a conflict
some negroes that he did not care how many
votes the rebs polled in the parish, that the
boxes would be stuffed in short that the Radi-
Gals would get the majority any how; that
Blount had told him that Gov. Kellogg had
said to him (Blount) that it was easy to carry
the State by stufing. This can be proved by
white men.
Blount is another Ethiopian, who invites the
conflict between the races. He it is who tells
the negroes that his back is full of scars infict-
ed whilst slave for Brazeale. And this is the
individual who occupies the seat Of Senator
from one of the most enlightened districts Of
the State. A Committee of Seventy has been
appointed to look into the affairs Of the parish,
and a report of their progress will be made ere
long. The Radical thieves are terribly out
ragged at the people for havingt to meet and dis
cuss the affairs Of the parish. Some of them
are SO disguised that they think Of leaui,eg the
parish. A wag wanted to know of one
of them, the other day, if he knew
which way he would go, up or down.
'Straws, ETC." The meeting Of last Sat
urday passed resolution requesting four
of the Police Jury to resign. Three of them
are ignorant black negroes, recently appointed
by Kellogg. One of their first acts wasiE6
coming from their home to the meetings of
the jury. This was s. cutting it little too
fat, for the already impoverished taxpayers,
and indignation was aroused at once, all over
the parish. Many other such acts as this
were passed, all with an eye to the robbery of
the people, and the gentlemen were required
to retire, and Gov. Kellogg requested to APP
point others in their places-the latter to be
named by the Committee Of Seventy. The
names have gone down, and if Kellogg re-
fuses, why We IN y have lively times here be-
fore long Nous rerrons.
A few days ago one Of our most eloquent, ge-
NAL, and pious Catholic priests was threatened
to have his church shut up by the negroes, be-
cause he spoke against their violating the
rules of the church in joining secret societies.
pThe priest says that within a few days about
four hundred guns have been received in his
neighborhood and secreted, but that he knows
where they are. What do the devilish Radi-
Gals Of New Orleans mean by sending arms to
the negroes up here? What is in the wind?
IF they think that they are going to catch
us mapping they are most egregiously mis-
taken. The organ of the negroes at this place
is as tame as ''suckling dove" for the con-
ductors of that journal saw on Saturday last,
that things had to change or the people would
change them.
l see in the columns Of that paper call to
the negroes to meet on Saturday next, to cele-
brate the lever glorious Fourth of July. The
negroes have already said, and are still saying,
that the ID white trash will sing low on that
day. God forbid that the insane leaders of
those wretched Voudous should rush them
into conflict with the whites upon that day
for if they do, there is no telling where the
thing will end. We are tired of insults, rob-
Aberies and menace. Scallawag and carpet
Dagger had better lay low when that, to them,
awful day arrives, upon which the two races
shall meet each other in deadly strife.
