The Radical Meeting here last
Saturday.

The meeting was called to order
or at least what they call order, by
some one being called to the chair
and some one else appointed Secreta-
~. j. E. Breda was the first speak
er and drew from the crowd loud ap-
plause and cheering, something like
a man draws u cork from a cham.
payne bottle"-by main strength and
awkwaraness," constantly calling on
the negroes to scream at the heighth
Of their voice." 80 that the dead,
though they have no ears, could hear
them" His speech was an insult to
the most ignorant negro on the ground.
Col. D. Pierson was then introduced
on the part Of the peoples party and
in eloquent language and bold terms
ventilated the ruinOus role of the
Radical officials in this parish and
throughout the State. With snch
power and force Of argument did he
show them up, that even the negroes
cheered him. The guilty parties there
present must;;have writhed and wrig
gled under the lasl, Of his terrible
truths, aud their feelings can better
be imagined than described. Next
came e. l.. Pierson, the worthy i'm.
itator of his illustrious predecessor,
Yates of Coushatta notoriety. One
would have supposed to hear him,
with lis he d-n's and by G-ds
that lie was driving a lot of hogs to
slaughter, or herding a drove Of cat
tie on the plaries Of Texas, in the
place Of talking to intelligent human
beings.
Next followed one J. G. Lewis,
who thinking he was ut liberty ia
abuse and villify our hest citizens,
attacked the character and honesty
Of two Of our former members of the
Police Jury, charging them with
wrongs they never committed. After
he had finished, they attacked him
Immediately and made him like the
cur eating Ms romit, then and there
swallow his own words and inform
the crowd that every word he had
uttured 10 relation to them was false
About this time some difficulty
arose in the crowd, and many provo
cations offered our people to get into
a general row with the U. s. soldiers
but, although our trials are great
forhearance ruled the hour, and the
Radical meeting ended as 1t began, in
loud talking and considerable con-
fusion. .r.i...

What Says Sabine ?

Throughout this exciting campaign,
when every white mans heart was
supposed to he beating in. unison
with us, thoroughly enlisted in our
cause, rumors would he Whispered
around that "Subine 'cas indifferent :"
"Sabine was diridet1 ~ ".Sabinc would
not register" and strange to say these
1umors always come from the same
source and from person particular
IL we'll acquainted in the parish. The
registration is completed and the
largest number of voters is found on
the poll book that have ever been
there before. The registration re-
veals the fact that every man in the
parish is furnished with his passport
to the ballot box F.; and that on tue
day of election will be found there,
to deposit it in favor Of the Peoples
party. Yet, again the rumor comes,
and always from the same source f.:
"Well Sabine is now frightened at
the coming Of tho the troops, and
most of the men have tn ken to the
wood and will not vote" What says
the border parish Are they children
to be frightened with the cry Of raw
heads aud bloody bones"

Who Will Cut the Rope -?

An old sea Captain once thought
no woul1 like to have little more
excitement than is to be found on
board ship, and concluded nothing
could afford him more pleasure than
to 90 bear hunting and lasso a griz.
ely bear. The only dread he had was
that he would not be able to find one
large enough to suit his purpose.
However, with his man in attendance,
and armed with a long new lasso, he
started for the hunt. In wandering
through the woods he necessarily sep
arated himself from his attendant,
and fortunately for him (as he thought)
pretty soon came up tn al immense
grizzly, just the thing he wanted; he
Immediately prepared the lasso and
with wonderful dexterity threw 1t
over the neck of the bear-.when he
found he had him, he put spurs to his
horse with the intention Of dragging
the bear into camp. Bnt much to his
establishment the bear did not move,
and he found it impossible to stir
him-wl.en the bear however felt the
rope begin to draw tighter and tight
er around his encck, thought it was
about time he was looking out for
lis own safety-ho first tried to slip
the rope off-failing in this he then
tried to bite it in two, this he also
failed in, and looking around for the
first time apparently, discovered the
gallant Captain at the other end Of
the rope. Then his rage knew no
bounds, and to get at him was his
first .hought, and he begun pulling IN
the lasso hand over hand rs it were,
inevitably drawing the Captain to
him-who then endeavored to extri.
cate himself from the coils Of the
lasso and free himself from imminent
danger, and greatly to his alarm be
found it impossible, and there was
the bear quietly doing his work. The
Captain concluded that something
must be done and that quickly-he
called out manfully for help from his
attendent who being at no great dis
lance, heard him aud came to his re.
lief, cutting the rope, and both fleeing
for their lives.
fappears to US that the Radical
leaders at this place have been out
on a bear hunt, and have lassoed the
bear, but the great difficulty is they
have none to cut the rope. They
may tell the bear as much as they
please that thy did not mean to las
SO him, that they intended him nc
harm-and say to him, '"sow please
Mr.. bear don't get mad, l did not Dc
it, You can't charge itou me-" "Now
look here Mr.. bear if you will only
stop pulling on that rope l will make
a compromise with you, and tell you
all I know" IL pledge you my wori
Mr.. bear, l will never try to lasso got
again as long as i've" The bear Il
too old to be fooled by such profess
sions, and away he pulls and there il
