MURDER IN GRANT PARISH
One Of the Effects OF the Presence of
Troops.
Who is e.ilty:

For years past the negro Ward and his
crowd of advisers and followers, on occasions
when circumstances were considered propi-
tious, and of nature promising immunity
and safety to themselves, have carried matters
with high hand in Grant parish. Since
their exploit in 1873, at Colfax, which was
followed by such prompt and well-merited.
but fearful punishment, Of which their dupes
alone were the recipients, the crowd has been
comparatively quiet.
The lesson was not lost on them. The
temper Of the people had been tried, and the
result was not only unsatisfactory, but a
warning not to put it to the test again.
They, however, as appears from the ap-
pended letter, only waited for an suspicious
time in which to again display their devilsh
natures and Cypress and insult their peers,
the white people Of the parish, and it came
with the arrival of the O. S. troops. Ward -
Co. are representatives Of a class, and Fnel
action in SO promptly moving when a1yonet
backed them shows "the nature of the beast.
The alleged crime for which Walters men
toned in the communication,w was arrested

The Masons and the Widow Of James L
Polk.

The Grand Lodge of Tennessee was in ses-
sion in Nashville last week, and one Of the
last and most graceful acts Of that honora
BILE fraternity, was to call in a body and pay
their respects to the widow of ex-Presiden,
James K Polk. The Union and american Of

this year, made their usual annual visit to the
Polk Place, for the purpose of paying theil
respects to Mrs. ex-President Polk. They
marched from Masonic Hall to Mrs. Folks 10
a body, numbering about one hundred and
twenty-fi and entered the grounds from the
Vine street 'front.' The column was headed by
the retiring Grand Master and the Grand
Master elect.
After general introduction and few min.
utes conversation, Mr. James d. Richardson,
the outgoing Grand Master, called the mem
bers together in the main p arlor and addressed
Mrs. Polk on behalf Of the Grand Lodge in a
few well-chosen remarks, in the course of
which he alluded with pride to the fact that
her distinguished husband was made a Mason
when quite young man, in tie lodge to which
the speaker now belonged Mount MORAN, at
Murfreesboro. The Ex-President's love for
the Masonic fraterity, he said, was well-known.
In closing he expressed the wish that Mrs.
Polk might live to receive the visits OF the
Grand Lodge for many years to come
Morton B. Howell, Esq, Mayor Of Nashville,
on behalf of Mrs. Polk, replied to the address
of Mr. Richardson in few exceedingly felici-
tous remarks, thanking the body in the most
courteous manner, and closing with the wish
that the Grand Lodge would evermore be
under the guidance of the Grand Architect Of
the universe.
Mrs. Polk was aided in receiving her guests
by Mrs. Governor Brown, Misses Julia and
Waldine Putnam, Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Fall
and others.
Before retiring from the grounds, the mem
bers crowded around the tomb of the ex-Presi-
dent, where there was an interesting pause,
alter which they withdrew, having made a
visit which proved highly agreeable to all pres
emit.
