The "organ" Of Saturday last, is
dissatisfied with the "sammary ejec-
ton" Of the Republica" Reform lead
ers from Office, by the tax.paying
citizens, and says no demonstration
was made opposing it, and why9
pray tell 10, it was for no reason that
they did not try, for that was surely
the case, but the colored man knew
as we'll as the white, that the officials
in power were q thieving Get, and
were as anxious to rid the commune
ty of their presence a. any one.
What do you call the threats of one
who was appointed by Gov. Kellogg,
to burn Gins, Residences, slay white
men, clothe our women and children,
ss Eve of old, in fig leaves, and domi-
Gle them in bark huts, is not that a
demonstration! We think so, and
one with a vengeance. Whether the
Republican and ito friends believe It
or not, but such nevertheless 10 the
fact, the tax.paying people Of Natchi
tocles have stood this rule of plum.
der just as long a. they intend to, and
the sooner the minds Of those gen.
tlemen (i) who think contrary, are
made up to submit, the better will it
be for all concerned.

There were but few c0l0red people
in the place, and those were quiet and
peaceable. Thus at the present time
Natchitoches has no complete Police
Jury, no Tax Collector, no Judges
and no Attorney. As to the final re.
suit of this Reform movement, we
are not prepared to judge, nor can it
be foretold ~ to the fruits it will bear.
The people have accomplished what
they had determined to achieve and
now proclaim that they will not ill.,
terfere with the acts of men, who OK.
hibit honesty and capacity, no matter
what their color or political opinions.
If such be the case and the Republic
can party carry out their present
avowcd purposes, there will he no
necessity for any further excitement
or the exhibition of armed power
such as that Of Monday last.-Repub.

Lovely Moses, what lie. There
were over two hundred colored men
.cAo took part in the mass meeting ;
more than tho Republican and its
friends have been able, since this
movement started, to get up even to
eat their beef and hear their windy
illusions. You are right about our
people not interfering with the acts
Of honest and capable men-uo mat
ter what their political opinions may
be-; but at the same time if you think
you can feed Us with such . dish Of
Reform, with NJ. H. Twitchel az q
sample, and call it an "avowed
purpose" or what not, you will see
tao demonstration repeated, no mat
ter whether you think it necessary
or not. 1t is useless for the Republi-
can party here to think Of giving ue
an honest ticket, ito out of the ques-
ton, for they have not one man who
has the confidence or respect Of the
decent white people of our parish
ut is impossible to make q silk purse
from q sow's ear"

SroIMs.-We have complained, with
some reason. of the stormy term, bad
roads and muddy streets, but from all
accounts received from various partG of
this State and California. they have been
having zephyrous time generally. In
Virginia the wind blew so furiously that
frame houses, sheds. signs, and every
thing that was not solid and substantial
as brick wall, was knocked around i'll
fine style. From other parts OF the
State and California reports come Of
yery similar character. We Piochers
after all may consider ourselves not so
bad off in the matter of climate as We
might be.
YESTERDAY there was large crowd
assembled on Meadow Valley street look
ing at fiery, untamed steed of the des-
ert cut up any amount Of capers. He
was mounted by q Mexican, and though
the mustang reared and pitched, and did
everything that very mad and savage
horse could do, it was no use, bis rider
was not to be moved from his seat and
the horse concluded to submit, though
with very bad grace.
PRoMpr.-We are glad to report that as
soon as Captain Lubbock. Superintend.
ent Of the Water Company, found that
the hydrant at the corne. Of Main and
Lacour streets was out of order, be i'm.
tnediately took steps to have it repaired
and now it is in good working trim. The
Water Company has invariably afforded
every facility and aid to the fire depart
ment in the efforts of the latter to protect
the town from fire.
MAIL matters in Utah must be in a
sadly demoralized condition. C. W..

to be sent to him regularly by mail. The
paper was mailed punctually by Mr.
Wiederhod, but Mr.. Pinkham was ten
days at Parowan before he received a
single paper. This shows that postal ar.
rapgenents in Utah need overhauling,
and the sooner the better. ..
SIcK.-We much regret to learu that
the Rev. H. L. Badger is still suffering
from an attack Of quinsy. Mr.. Badger
is much respected as conscientious and
faithful minister, and his congregation
and the community will hear of his con-
tinued indisposition with much regret,
and join with us in wishing a speedy
and complete recovery.
RETuRNEp.-L. P. Davis has just re-
turned from a trip to Eureka. He re-
ports things somewhat quiet on the Base
Range. Among other items he tells
us that our old friend John H. Dennis, is
about to purchase an interest in the Eu-
reka Sentinel. We wish the new firm
and their paper every success.
