The People's vindicator. [volume] (Natchitoches, La.) 1874-1883, 1874-07-11
"A Few Truths.

Under the above appears an arti-
Gle in the issue of the official organ,
of the 4th inst, of that charming
body of {ormorants, who have for
the past 4ix years plundered the tax
paying VI hito people of this parish,
and although We consider the article,
and in fadt the mediterranean, as be.
meath the notice of any respectable
person. still rs that article, and others
in tho saline issue, contains illusions
which vel consider personal, our ex-
cuse for Il bis reply can be that we wish
to give the gentleman(?) and we
think we know our man, who wrote
those ARTICLES, fair warning how he
will be ddalt with in future for any
remarks DIR insinuations that may APP
pear in "his sheet" which are not in
the strict Ilinc OF journalistic etiquette.
1t woul Il he well to inform the pub
lie, and p PARTICULARLY that portion Of it
that do nYt read the Republican !. e.
the white public, that this is the first
mention that paper has ever had in
! it, of the existence Of such a journal
us the Pei plc's vindicotor in Natchi-
toclles, and we call attention to this,
not from the fact that we would feel
at all cohplimented by such notice,
but for tho reason that it prcsumes
to give i 5 u little journalistic advise,
as to t!le propriety of our prcs,,ming
to write for paper, and that we may
confess that VIC were under the i'm
preston that old journals were in the
habit Of giving words Of cheer to new
efforts, III this fault VIC beg to stand
corrected.
In the article referred to, the writer
can see Dur motives only through his
own stfnded vision, and charges us
with "a INST for Il piece of the chicken
pie." When we are assailcl with
such Charge as that, the only reply
!
self respect and candor have left US
to make lis, that the writer is a liar !
We have never sought for an office
nor do vie wish one, and as fur as it
refers to public printing, and VIC can
not see the connection, that paper
we'll knows the opinion of all the res
pectable| press on that point.
Onr information with regard to tho
IA School houses is rs correct as his
own, it may not have been Il but
that was tho least number we heard
mentioned that had been built, and
we did not wish to do injustice, even
to SO vile a set of thieves as the
School Board of this Parish, and VIC
| gave thdm the benefit of the least
number. As far as the white public
of this parish ever having access to
any Of the public documents which
eminate from that sublime body, the
General Assembly, we are in the dark,
and We Dire aware that it is in the ma
ture of the men who have heretofore
run this State and parish, to keep
every thing as much hidden as pos
sible; vi beg even to confess our igno-
rance to the locality Of the one School
house, lie seems to take such great
delight in having constructed.
Tho 4 barge Of "making an attack
upon tile private affairs Of Mr. ~
Blunt, ID too flimsy for comment. We
SUPPOSE that robbing the people of
500 til rough the medium of the
School Fund is a private affair. That
is something new and VIC would adj
wise 4 revision of the Code contained
in the ten Commandments, and as the
party I'd which the gentlemen (O has
the honpr (God save the mark) to be-
long, hd Is it's hand in at amendments,
we suga lest it "goes for" the claws Of
Moses aud introduce an eleventh
commandment for the angelic (?)
Senator Blunt's especial benefit ; that
lie may steal hundred dollars from
the public, provided he gives thirty
of it I'd some one else, the ofte. Of
Zone kind heart" you know, to San
other"
We simply charge Mr(?) Blunt with
receiving 800 as principal Of a
public school, and having another
person to do the teaching, aud what
makes the matter criminal Senator
Blunt d a member cfthe School Board,
and is forbidden by law from being a
