Bremen, under the following circumstances I:
Mr.. L.. bachelor. lately returned from
America with 10000 thalers (e22, 500 in
cash, informed his housekeeper that he in.
tended to shoot himself, requesting her to
rush upstairs as soon as she heard the re-
port, and to take possession of 500 thalers
left for her on the table. The 500 thalers
perspective Influenced the good soul to take
it all tor joke, and on hearing next morn
ing the fatal report she lost no time in ascer-
tanning the reality of her masters generous
intention. She, however, found him sitting
In his easy-chair. and pointing out the hole
and his revolver. A few hours afterwards
the woman heard another report-the young
man had blown out his brains.

Something About the Men who Hold
once i'm Louisiana They are MOI
All Cuf-fhroafs and Thieves,

A former citizen of Illinois writes as fol
lows TO the Itter-OceQ1s from the town O.
Monroe, Louisiana:
/ was for many years citizen OF YOU
State, but am now a citizen Of Louisiana, o.
as the Democrats say, q 'earpet-baxger.." II
all the Democratic papers, and in the resolu-
tons adopted by public meetings Of that
party, all Republicans are classed and des
lcrIbed as 'carpet-baggeTs and scalawags." By
these terms they meaI. the new citizens who
come from the North and the old citizens who
are native Repu blicans. No matter hosF
long a northern man has lived here. no mat
ter how much he may have invested in bust
ness here ne always remains carpct-bag geI
If he Is a republican.
The most respectable old citizen who acts
with the Republicans becomes at once a seal
awag. So much Is said against both classes
that a stran ger would suppose that the great
majority Of Republican officials were disrep-
utable characters. Yet this is far from the
truth, orr political enemies themselves being
the witnesses. Among. those so-calied car
psf baggers I viii mention few men.
O. IA. Brewster, At present representing the
Eighteenth Senatorial District IN the Gen Fal
Assembly, came 10 this State with his family
eight years ago. He brought considerable
capital with him, and engaged extensively IN
cotton planting. The season proved disas-
trolss and he lost money. After that he en-
gagged IN other pursuits, bought property IN
this parish, and while attending TO his private
affairs was elected a Representative N the
Iirst Republican Legislature lie was Ee-
elected IN 1870 and a. the end of that term
chosen 10 the Senate. He lives here with his
family, IS a good citizen. and his most bitter
political opponents admit that hs Is an hon
est man. Yet he Is called earpet-bageer
The Hon. Frank Marcy cana here at the
close Of tAa war. He married here and
bought property. During his SIX years IL
Congress he has done more for the people Of
his district than was ever done BIZ any for
mer member. No charge OF corruption or
objection urged against him when candi-
date for reelection was this: sff{e Il uot on
Of Us" He Is now candidate. ard the only
objection Is tha. lie supported the civil rights
bill Olr opponents freely admit that in
constituents he has done well. His efforts tc
obtain relief foa the people suffering from the
late overflow are universally acknowledged

THE LOUISIANA MASSACRE.
Death to Republicans, Regardless of
Color.
The DiaboIfeal Doinss Of the White
League.

The New Orleans tSeptember u cores
pondent of the Chicago IsteF-Ocea's contains
the following:
The news of the murder Of six State offie-
ials and six negroes. near Shreveport, pro-
duces intense excitement in this city. Sena-
tor TWltchell has received private dispatches
concerning the death of his brother Homer
Twitchell, who was ex-collector and United
States Commissioner for Red river parish.
r. n. Devices was tax collector of De Soto
parish, and at the time was visiting friends at
Coushatta. The other white men are f. Z.
Egerton, Sheriff. Clark Hall. Register, and
TGilbert Cones, Deputy Sheriff. Coushatta is
the iveliest business town on Red river. The
settlers being Northern men, it is known as
a Yankee settlement and much hated by
THE White Leaguers. The parish is over
whelningly Republican. Ten days since the
White Leaguers sent orders TO the officers OF
Red river parish to resign. This they refused
Ito do, and organized company OF slXty-hve
men. They were captured by band num-
bering several hundred, and incarcerated in
the jail at Coushatta. Their removal to
Shreveport was by the White Leagaers and
against the protestations Of the prisoners.
The murder was entirely unprovoked, and
the worst perpetrated since the Grant parish
massacre. The Republican says if there is a
Just God and Union army, these crimes will
be avenged. The punishment should not
fall alone upon the poor dupes hiding under
Texas masks. 1t should be felt by those
