D nently. The editor OF the Shreveport
/ (Ia.) Times is q bully, 3 warrior of the
! same contemplate sort. He tries TO
) make himself hobgOblin, g seareerow,
, and a bugbesr, but the craven-hearted
bastard is detected under sll his noisy
violence and clustering gasconsde. A
few days after the late elections the fol-
lowing diabolical and atrocious article
appeared in the Shreveport Times:
We want DO Representatives on the
returning board; no fsvors or conces-
sions from Kellogg or Packard. II
George L. Smith is counted Ia over
Elan, let Smith and TWitchell be
killed. If johnson and Tyler, in De-
Soto, are counted in over Scales and
Schuler, as tbe New Orleans Republican
thinks, or IL Heating, Levissee and
johnson, in CaddO, are counted in over
Vaughan, HOran and LamD, then let
Johnson, Tyler, Heating aud Levissee
Fbe killed; and so let every officer, from
congressman down TO constable in every
district and parish In the State lie
served. We cannot afford 70 be de-
feated by ring OF political scOund1els
after we have triumphed. Human life
may be precious, but the lives Of all the
carpetbsggers and politicians in Louis
lana are valueless, compared to the
work Of justice and liberty.
The brutal suggestions Of this sneak
ing and murderous, but cowsrdly assas-
sin, caused a scowl Of indignation 10
mantle every honest mans brow. The
Radical papers held up the insane raw
ings Of the Shreveport knave as the at
terances Of the southern people, and the
Democratic press was Unanimous in de-
nouneing the shocking sentiments ut
! tered by the assassin. The APPEAL
/ properly rebuked and repudiated tue
scandslous and infamous sentiments Of
Louisiana's hellish fiend, aud he replies
to US in real Chinese style. He beats his
gong, busters AMI vapors, snd performs
al the antics Of the eGraged Chinsman,
whose mode Of warfare he has adopted
with view to frightening his enemies
The APPEAL hopes never to be cursed
with the odiuu OF the good viii Of the
Shreveport Times, for it infinitely pre-
fers the abuse Of an editor who adver-
tises himself as q vile, perfidious, mur.
derous assassin. We ask the northern
press, both Republican and Democratic, /
to pay no attention to the rawlings Of tie |
Shreveport rascal, for both the black. |
guard and his mOnstrOus utterauces are !
scorned and spit upon by every decent |
man at the south. Maliguitv, re- |
venge, murder ana assassination ara |
secuted by the brave people OF the south |
who fight their enemies openly and /
fairly. They seem only too happy at
the prospect Of escape from wrong aud /
pillsge to think OF penalties, persecu-
tons and murder Of their oppressors.
When New York city triGmphed over
Tweed and his gang Of thieves, the next
step was to hunt down the rogues and
punish them. But the south does not
propose to hunt down and punish such
men as the cowardly butcher at Shreve-
port would strike down with the dagger
Df the assassin. 1t is revenge enough
Tor the southern people to know that
they have been made free through the
patriotism Of the grand srmy of the
north, that marched to their deliver
ance, and they do not propose to strike
down their northern friends, or paralyzs
heir strong arms by showing that they
IRE race Of asssssins, unworthy the |
Iberties that have been secured for them. 7
The south, thank God, is still the home t,
4 a brave, magnsnimO1s and chival-
Gus people. They cherish no animosi- !
les, ami instead of numbering
be men that have mercilessly plum .
cred and outraged them for nine i
ears, they are disposed to forgive and il
'rget all their grudges. They ask the y
to unpack their trunks, \
lethoric with spOils, and to Join them o
trsnquillizlng the country and in an ri
Tort to make the south homogeneous, a
ealthy and prosperous. The southern | -
with horror at suy movement a.
hieh would inaugurate murder and as "
Their only ambition is to o.
owe that IS their power Increases SO n,
III they do more and more for the n,
oral and intellectual elevation and the q
aterisl advancement OF the negro, ~
him in his freedom, and n
Us helping him to earn more and live eli
tier. Let US take the wreck which OF
8 been left us, and rebuild a new ves- o.
, manned by crew without mutt ~
ers, and thus we viii be enabled to to
rvive every storm and tempest, and su
1udly ride into the haven Of repose. pc
lere is one thing so fun Of turpitude f 10
d villsiny that the southern people tn
d never do, even when foiled in their be
patient desire for freedom from tyran- 20
and usurpation, and thai j. the igno- y.
