A Reason for Allowing COIOred Men
tOLive.
The Shreveport Times gives an
account of the shooting of a colored
man by white gentlemen of the
shot gun party. 1t appears that a
store had been robbed and that Mr..
Forbin, the proprietor, had offered
reward for the detection of the
thief. 1t occurred to the three
shooting gentlemen that they
could secure the reward by proper
manipulation, and they arrested a
colored man as an experiment and
maltreated him as an indueement
for him to confess to the crime,
with the view of pocketing the re-
ward. They were not officers of
the law, and made the arrest with
out warrant. The obstinate negro,
being guiltless of theft, naturally
objected to confessing, and when
he would not the white gentlemen
tied him securely and left him in
charge of the storekeeper while
they went for q more productive
victim. The self constituted guar
dams of the peace next went to the
house of one Henry Turner. Tur-
ner's door was closed, bat the
gentlemen ''Gred several shots into
the house." the Times says. They
also found that Turner was not q
good man to confess Instead of
confessing he answered the call of
the gentlemen with musket, and
wounded one of them in the arm.
The gentlemen then returned to
Forbin's store and threatened to
shoot the negro left tied there.
Mr.. Forbin asked them not to
shoot, and the gentlemen then
threatened to shoot Forbir. That
settled it. Forbin left the store
and the white gentlemen took the
negro out and shot him. in the
true chivalrous style of the coun
try
The Shreveport Times actually
condemns the action of the white
gentlemen and trusts that the civil
authorities will endeavor to arrest
and bring the assassins to Justice,
and gives an unusual reason for
this strange trust and belief. It
says:
Such acts of lawless men, aside
from the question of humanity and
a violation of the law. are calcula
ted to do our people incalculable
harm, for all such cases are set

General Sherman will apply that
Process to the Black Hill Invaders.

Gen. Sherman has been inter
viewed concerning the action, the
government will take relative to
the gold hunting expeditions to
the Black Hills country, and that
gentleman said in substance that
the expeditions would be prevented
from entering that region,or if any
got in they would be driven out
as soon as the weather would per
NIT. Troops will be put in the field
with Instructions to prevent incur
sions into the Sioux reservation,
and these instructions will be car
ried out by force of arms if need
be. The integrity of the treaty
with the Sioux will be maintained
at al, hazards. The general said
that the frontier people complained
of Indian raids, yet in this case did
not seem to see the injustice of
their own acts, which are modelled
after the Indian mode of acquiring
property. If necessary, troops will
be sent TO bring out the party now

A sad case of seduction was men,
toned in the Independent on Sunday
last, OF child scarcely fifteen yeals
old, by married man in this city
names not given. The girl was going to
school and on Wednesday last she was
taken sick at her desk, aud was taken
home to be confined. In her notice
of it, Mrs Jordan deals with the
seducer more leniently than the pub
lie should. We ar. law-abiding; but
the law does not adequately punish
the villain who is guilty of this crime
against society. We would mete out
a personal punishment to him, and all
other married men thus guilty, that
would bar them from a repetition.
Mrs. j. says:
We cannot excuse the wickedness
of the age which allows young girls to
go alone with bad, unprincipled men.
But for the fiend who was twice the
ruin of the child, and married man,
beside, there is no pity-no feeling
except one of strong loathing and dis
gust.
Language is not strong enough to
portray the misery and shame he has
brought upon the home aud the life
of this girl.

life which has come into the world of
sin to cry out against it's father. She
looked scarcely older than the babe;
and as | talked to her in sympathetic
tones, the great tears of penitence and
remorse rolled down her cheeks.
There is terrible lesson in this for
the parents who lose sight of young
daughters growing up around them
There are too many eyes which carry
the mark of the beast in them, ready
to devour the young lambs who stray

The question as to whether land
lord may get druak in his own house
came before the magistrates at the
Dudley police court, in England, the
other day, when publican named
Smith was charged with being drunk
on his own premises. 1t appeared
from the evidence of police consta-
BILE that, on paying visit to the estab-
lishment of which Smith is the
proprietor at half past two in the
morning, he found the house open,
but no one there except the defend
ant, who was very drunk and abusive.
1t was urged on behalf of the defend
ant that the words of the act, ANY
person found drunk" did not apply
to landlords. The magistrates dis
missed the case.
