Republican Partizan Statement.
The following is from the Republican
partizan sources. Dispatches received in
New Orleans by State Senator w. H.
Fintchcll, brother of one of the persons
killed in Coushatta, state explicitly that
the only cause of the occurrence was u
white league movement to run out of the
State or Kill all the white Republican
leaders in the parish of Red River, which
BY the returns of all the returning
boards, went largely Republican at the
last election, and thus to prevent the or
gahization of the Republican voters OF
that parish for the coming campaign at
the Exexecutive Department, and it is
asserted that the intention OF the
whole league Of Cadda parasitic take pos
session of Red River parish was known
to Che parish officers for days previous to
the actual occurrence and this was the
only reason of the parish officers in or
ganizing to resent their displacement
from the offices to which, according to the
returns of their opponents, they were
fairly elected. Governor Kellogg states
that all the information in his possession
emphatcally contradicts the version
given by Major Stevenson of the origin
of the trouble.

He drew the arrow to his bow
And pierced her heart.
