being over, and detectives set at work, the
public settled down to an unconcerned
apathy, in the belief that the secret SER
vice of the police was ample for the ap-
prehension of the criminals. This has
been the difficulty from the start.
Through the public press the entire coun-
try should have been warned, and made
on the alert. Every man, woman and
child should be on the detective force in
such an emergency, with descriptions of
the lost and suspected parties at hand.
Instead of which all information known
was carefully guarded for the benefit Of
the professional detectives, and in the
meantime the birds of crime hav e flown.
This is but one instance of many in the
annual record of crimes where delays are
too long made by the advice OF detective
police. That the glory Of capture may
appear greater, detectives often mislead
those not specially charged with the case.
Then comes the hope for large rewards,
and for that the specials will not act to-
gether. but always at cross purposes. 1t
has been charged that even when crimi-
nails and their whereabouts have been
known to detectives, the wrangles for
reward have made opportunities for their
escape. 1t is an old story that Superin-
tendent Jourdan died possessed Of the
secret of the Nathan murder.
Of what general use then is detective
force? In cases of crime, why should
not all information and clews to the
crime be made public to all officers and
to all men? Detectives, in effect, as
often conceal crime as bring it to light.
In cities like this whenever criminal is
wanted there are hundreds who could
put their hands on the man were all in
formation generally in possession of the
police known to the public as well. The
reporters Of the daily press best know
that it is the policy of the officers of the
law to keep concealed knowledge of sus-
picious circumstances. If murder has
has been committed, reporte rs are told
that the detectives have the matter in
charge, and that awaiting further devel
opments nothing is to be publish ed. De-
tectives are for the most part ign GRANT
men, with, perhaps, superior natural
shrewdness; yet they can not be ubiqui
tous, and the cunning Of one can not in
result equal that Of many. The universal
vigilance of all honest people can over
match the most cunning villainy. Under
the present system your next neighbor
may be murdered without exciting your
efforts to avenge the crime. You are
assured that the specials will work up the
case. Nothing then should be suppressed
that may lead to the detection of crimi
nails Let the whole world be on the
police force, and let the public press be
chief OF detectives, and make all facts
known

Whereas, during the night of the ninth of July.
1874 on the Bayou Pierre road, in the parish of
Caddo, thirteen miles from the city of Shreveport,
one MANUEL MUNOS, an industrious and unoffend.
ing Spaniard was called from his bed and cruelty
murdered in cold blood by body of armed and
mounted men. claiming to belong to the so-called
White League of Caddo parish, on the false pre-
text that he had been carrying arms to negroes.
Whereas these same men subsequently proceeded
to rob the widow and fatherless children Of the
said Nunez of all the money and valuabes they
possessed. leaving them in a state of sickness and
utter restitution; and whereas such crimes are a
disgrace to the State or community which toler.
ates them or permits them to go unpunished;
Now, therefore, 1, William Pitt Kellogg, Cover
of the State of Louisiana, with view, if pos
sible, of bringing the perpetrators of this outrage
to justice and of preventing the repetition of
such crimes in the future, do issue this, my
proclamation offering reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS for such evidence as shall lead to the
arrest and conviction of the said murderers or any
of them.

THE THERMOMETER.

The sullen stand in the upper nineties
maintained by the thermometer during a
period of nearly three weeks, eliminating
in five deaths from sunstroke in one day,
comes as an admonition Of vital uncer-
tainty. 1t will be duly commented on to-
day by all those whose spiritual province
it is to employ such events as an argu-
ment for instant preparation for future
into which men may thus enter so sud-
denly. Men will be implored to dismiss
all angry passions and SO to deport them
selves to others as that they will be ready
to meet as friends in the next world even
those whom they may have hated most
bitterly in this.
1t is our province to employ these evil
dences of extreme heat for another, yet
kindred, purpose. It is to remind our
citizens that the experience Of two CEN
turtles has shown exposure to labor in the
open sunshine of the summer by white
men is attended with more lassitude and
with more danger than similar exposure
is to the colored race. History shows
that Louisiana, or that portion of the ter
ritory SO known at this time, was sorely
slandered. It was called "a vile compound
Of marshes, lagoons, swamps, bayous,
fens, ETC." The sun was $50 intensely hot
that at noon it could strike man dead
as if with pistol shot. 4 ,oas called a

SOUTHERN SERFS OF NORTHERN DEMOC
RACY,

kAC4.
There is one class of the Southern people
whose bondage was not broken by the
war. They call themselves Democrats.
The lords who claim their service are the
State Rights Democrats of the North, and
the medium through which the orders are
issued to these Southern serfs is the New
York World These Northern Demo-
Gratis whaled thei: Southern serfs back
into bondage, SO they claim. They
led them to expect a support by
way of federal disafection on the
part of the Northern Democrats. I'm
patient at being in a minority at the
North, the Democrats joined the Repub-
licans to conquer and chastise their
Southern Democratic slaves back into the
Union, for they were nothing without
them. Hence the cordially with which
the Northern Democracy aided Mr.. Lin
coin, voted every dollar, supplied every
contract and enlisted every colored SUBJ
stitute, to reduce their own political serfs
to bondage, submission and support. 1t
was cordial and congenial act of the
Woodses and Vallandighams and Blairs
1t was the execution of fugitive slave
law. 1t was rendition of persons held
to political service But for the recapture
of these serfs the Democracy would have
disbanded in despair of overcoming the
Republican majority at the North. The
Republicans fought the war for. the
Union, the Northern Democrats to recap
ture their escaped followers and to SO ac-
quire the entire spoils Of conquest.
There has been some surprise ex-
pressed at the willingness of the Southern
serf to come back into bondage. 1t is
easily explained. The leaders of that
party swarmed out of the Union because
they could no longer have all the honey
in the hive. They have swarmed back
again into the Union because half honey
is better than none at all. If there was
Democratic majority in the South we
should hear the Northern people de-
nounced as Yankees Unfortunately.
Being in minority, which they abhor as
nature does a vacuum, the Southern De-
mocracy comes in as runaway of old
times, makes the best terms he can with
the Democratic master at the North and
promises to be faithful slave and vote
as directed the remainder of his life.
The New York World is political
profigate of the most INSCRIPTIONS char
acter. 1t pretends to oppose tariff and
advocate hard money. 1t is States right
organ which boosted of Union victories.
1t is political moralist which protected
Tweed and concealed his iniquities. Yet
with this strict creed the World claims
every election that results against the Re-
publicans as Demo cratic victory. Every
incident that occurs in the South which
can possibly be perverted to create preju-
dices against the colored people or the
Republican party is sedulously collected
and commented on with tie most unscru-
pulous asperity.
But it must be with the aid of the
Democratic serf of the South that the
Northern Democracy can succeed, and it
will have proved great triumph of
strategy tia. they should have first con-

quered and captured that high spirited
people and then tanned them down into
willing workers in the traces of their cap
tors. Only in Virginia they were tritie
too near to be deceived. The burning OF
Richmond for the sake of bringing the
voters into subsection was rather severe
measure of political compulsion. The de-
structicn of property, the dismemberment
of the State and the deplorable loss
of life which the Democratic General
Mcclellan initiated, awakened that sa-
gacious people to the unfeeling, hypo-
critical and INSCRIPTIONS character of
their political allies, and the Northern
Democracy has never been able to lasso
the noble and sagacious old Common
wealth. With other Democratic COM
munities which were perhaps more pru-
dent and escaped the severe infections
which the Northern Democracy consid-
cred indispensable to the restoration of its
supremacy, the task of making up and
forgetting all differences is simple. In
cases in which mutual arrangement to
exchange Democratic cotton on one side
for Democratic bacon or blankets on the
other, the relations were not disturbed by
the horrors of war.
The Democracy Of Louisiana call on
every white man to come in and support the
Northern Democratic tic ket on pain of
political and social accommodation, and
they are all summoned to report at Baton
Rouge for further orders A few weeks
will determine whether the whole South
belongs as serfs to the Northern Democ-
racy. Until then We await events with
composure

sensations were exaggerated, it was as
sumed as fact that white labor could not
be relied on for agriculture nor commerce.
By consequence Bienville asked permits
sion to exchange ''three Indians for two
negroes" Crozat secured privilege of i'm
porting Africans. Upon the failure of some
German settlements, vessels were sent to
Africa for slaves, who were sold on credit
by the company to the colonists. From
this period the necessity of African labor
was established, and the importation OF
this labor was transferred from the coast
OF Guinea to the interior States OF the
American Union. We do not now COM
ment upon the moral aspect of African
slavery. Our purpose is to show that the
was due to the fact that they could not
subdue the forests, ditch and levee the
lands, and confront the sun daily during
the summer solstlce in the continual cul-
ture of the staple crops. In proof that
this necessity introduced the negro in
Louisiana, we give the fact that the
French made no such importations OF
negroes into their Canadian possessions.
The same physical obstacles to open air
field labor exist at present, and the same
necessity for the employment of negroes
on the levee, and sugar and rice planta-
tons, is still upon us. Go on the levee,
and what laborers have we seen during
the past few weeks. White men with UNI
brellas and double topped hats, mules
with sunshades and wet sponges. on their
heads, and stalwart black men meeting
their native sun in all his intensity, with
scarcely fragment of ragged chip hat to
protect them. See tie ebony skin shine
bright through the pouring Precipitation,
as they shoulder barrels, boxes and
bales, or, standing upon their ponderous
floats, like ancient charioteers, charge
shouting, laughing and swearing through
the melee. Did any one hear of a negro
killed by sunstroke? 1t may have been
the case, but we have heard none such
reported. Yet the White League. valuing
a few parish offices more than entire
crops, would drive away these laborers, SO
imported because of a physical necessity
for their constitutional capacity to bear
the climate of lower Louisiana.
We have before exposed the madness of
such policy, but we will add that if the
negroes are driven from Louisiana the
value Of the land will, for good while,
60 with them.
This is not subject to be trifed with.
These colored people may be tormented
about theft vote, and kept in fear of their
lives until they do emigrate to some other
State, and then the full value of their
services will be appre ciated, when it can
not be recalled.
The climate of Louisiana first made
colored labor indispensable. 1t would
have perhaps been more consistent
with their principles that free immigration
from Africa had been invited at first. 1t
is now here, educated to the industries of
the country. indoctrinated in the prin-
ciples of the Christian decalogue, and
speaking the American language. Will it
be wise to compel it's exodus?
