PROCLAMATION.


STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department,
New Orleans, July "a, 1874.
Whereas, during the night of the ninth of July.
1874, on the Bayou Pierre road, in the parish of
Caddo, thirteen miles from the city of Shreveport
one MANUEL MUN0S, an industrious and uEofend.
ing Spanisrd was called from his bed and cruelty
murdered in cold blood by a body OF armed aRd
mounted men. claiming to belong to the so.called
White League of Caddo parish, On the false pre-.
text that he had been carrying arms 20 negroes.
Whereas these same men subsequently, proceeded
to rob the widow and fatbeTiess children OF the
said Nunez of al the money and valuables they
possessed, leaving them in a state OF sickness and
utter restitution; and whereas such crimes are
disgrace to the State community which toler-
ates them permits them to 90 unpublished;
Now, therefore, ], William Pitt Kellogg, Cover
nor Of the State of Louisiana, with view, if pos
sble, OF bringing the perpetrators of this outrage
to justice and of preventing the repetition of
such crimes in the future, do issue this my
proclamation offering a reward Of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS for such evidence as shall lead to the
arrest and conviction of the said mu-derers or any
of them.
Given under my hard and the seal Of tie State
hereto attached this twenty-fourth day OF July, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
ored and seventy-four, and OF the independence OF

CADDO CONCESSIONS.

From the published proceedings of a
meeting held at Spring Ridge, found in
the Shreveport Times, it appears that the
Rev. Willis Cottonrader and the Rev.
Stephen Thomas, of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, were among the
"colored citizens who came forward and
united with the white mans party. This
is certainly an important movement tend
ing to harmony Of races. 1t shows that
the color line may be drawn with curve
accommodating enough to take in colored
men who agree to vote as they are told to.
It shows that Methodist ministers who
change their location every two years, and
who are made carpet baggers by church
government need not despair of becoming
residents. It also shows that the negro
preacher Of Caddo, if he joins the elastic
White League, may be called ''colored
citizen" The name, Cottonrader, is
singularly suggestive Of the army worm,
but in the pure air of the Baton Rouge
convention it will be found as spotless
and lilly-like as chat Of any delegate, for
what is in name when White League and
Committee of Seventy means Democracy?

Its prominent opponent is Louis D.
Campbell, aided by Joseph NJ. Root, but
their opposition (both having been mem
bers of the convention) seems to have been
caused by tie failure of the convention to
irdorse an attack on Republican conm's-
sion on public lnsti.ut ons. The only other
objections are that the new constitution
does not give the courts CT common Pleas
powers of habeas corpus. But the OLD con-
stitution does not either, so no change can
be effect d, and the objection is nil.
That the proposition CT minority repre-
sentation may be understood the sections
on that subject are here presented:
"1n every election for judges of the sa-
pIeme and circuit courts, where three or
Il re are to be chosen of the same court,
and tor the same term of service, no elector
| sha' vote Tor greater Euulbe Of capCi-.
| dates Tan majority OF the judges of such
| court and term then to be chosen"
Ii this proposition be adopted, it shall
! take the place of section three OF article
| four OF this constitution, and section twenty
| OF said article thereupon read as follows:
SEC. 20. In case the Office of any Judge
shall become vacant before the expiration
of the regular 7 I'm for which be was
elected, the vacancy shall be filed by ap-
pointment by the Governor until sue
| cessor is elected and qualified; and such
successor shall be elected for the unexpired
term at the first election for Governor that
occurs more than thirty days after the va.
cancy shall have happened.
This is sure 10 give minority of the
Supreme and Circuit Courts to the political
party in minority at the time of election,
and it can hardly be possible that it will
work any harm. The idea that all the
Intelligence and honesty of community
is absorbed in the majority gaining par
ticular election should be exploded BY this
time.
As this election is the most important that
has occcrred thus far this year, its results
will be anxiouslv looked for.
