FARMERsvILLE, La, November 1.~Judge
Trimble urges the Governor to recall the
pardon issued in the cases of Selye and
Lieutenant Hodgson, committed for con-
tempt, for the reason that their conduct in
several instances was outrageous and Op-
pressive. The citizens feel that they have
been outraged by these parties and are in
dignant at their course while securing the
country.
The Judge is satisfied that if the law is
permitted to take its course, not only in the
case of their contempt of his order, but also
in cutting the telegraph wire, in the case of
assault with pistol on Mrs. Patterson and
other cases, the people will abide the
action of tho court; but if pardOned and
turned out at liberty, he is of the opinion
that they could not leave the country, so
great would be the feeling against the
prisoners.
Before leaving Vienna, the judge took
every precautiOn to insure their safety.
While in Vienna they were confined in the
Vienna Jail, the place Selye and Hodgson
placed their prisoners, arrested without
warrant, and by the mere force of the
United States bayonet. Much excitement
prevails in North Louisiana, and q full de-
termination exists ON the part Of the citi-
zens to assist Judge Trimble in carrying
out the law, which he will do.
