Rather Stale,

Two of the bright afternoon papers had
an astonishing item yesterday. Last Au-
gust, Sheriff c. c. Duson, of the parish of
ST. Landry, received a requlsition from
Governor Kellogg for the body OF mur-
derer named Louis Rousseau, who had
killed Cyrus Brignac in that parish, and
was then in Indian Territory Sheriff Du.
son found the officers of that locality un-
willing to assist him without reward, and
he captured the fugitive without any help,
lodging him safely in the parish jail. His
return on the requisiton stated these facts.
The point consists in the further fact that
all this was contained IN dispatch of the
Associated Press of August lS In addition
TO this the REPUBLICAN published column
on the subject Angus. %, and that was
taken from the Opelousas Joauna! of Au.
gust 20.
Any further information on such startling
subjects may be found in old files by giving
little attention to dates. The Times, in
particular, would do well to observe them.
as it makes Mr.. Duson arrive in Indian
Territory week before he started from
Louisiana, vide the following:
Received the within requsition on the
Governor of the Indian Territory on the
seventeenth day of August, 1879, and i'm.
mediately proceeded to the said Te rritorv,
where / arrived on the tenth day of the
same month and year.

SOuIhera Republicans.

Ihis association has proved itself one of
the most active of organizations. 1t is only
SIX months ago that they started into ex-
istence, and they have steadily gained
ground by increasing numbers, and now
begin to attract the attention of the poll
ticians.
The platform of the Southern Republicans
is apparently fair, and leaves nothing to be
desired, and. although we are not instr acted
IN the mysteries of the internal government
OF the association, which they so closely
guard, we are left TO conclude from their
present condition, that if they keep un-
ialterlngly to their programme they will
leave their mark on the events and national
election OF 1876, and which is without doubt
their aim.
There ls at this moment an unusual stir
at the Mechanics lnstitute,-nightly meet
ings OF committee, large printing orders
tor circulars and other documents, influen.
tial politicians from the parishes in close
and secret conference, all foreshadow an
extension of the Southern Republicans
throughout the State.
The Southern Republicans say that they
adopt the word Republican" on the broad
gauge in national sense, and not on the
narrow gauge of party; but may not this
organization, under the sounding and
euphonious name of Republican under
mine our party and weaken US in places
where we hope for the most support! Again
they say that they hope to effect revolu

of Louisiana, and that they have deter

AmuseInents.

The reception given to Lawrence Barrett
last night at the S.. Charles Theatre was
most tiattering to the actor. II was like old
times to see well filled dress circle and an
appreciative parquette. Mr.. Barrett has a
strong hold upon the New Orleans public
and it can be said he has honestly earned
the good will of our people. He has never
sighted part or disappointed an audience
since ne came here years ago as a stock
actor at the old Varieties Theatre. He is
an artist, true to himself and an honor to
the stage. He need not be compared to
this or that great actor; he has
studied closely. and is great in
what he undertakes. He PLAYED Richie
lie" last night, and gave remarkably
line performances There are dozen
American actors who fail in the character
only Booth, Davenport and Barrett have
caught the subtlety of the part, to the ex.
tent of perfectly picturing the craft and
cunning, the weak frame and strong mind
the cutting wit and humorous sarcasm, the
amb ton TO rule Church and State. the ten
der and the merciless sides of the Cardinal
Mr.. Barrett has worked for years at this
character, and having the genius to grasp it's

tions to give il breadth and color, it ia NOT
strange that he plays it well; il
will be strange if he is not known
hereafter as the great Richeheu of our
stage. One word for his support.
The public can visit the St. Charles
Theatre during Mr.. Barrett's engagement
with the assurance of seeing his pieces well
acted throughout. We are not likely to see
and do not need better cast than was
given "Richelieu" last night. The finish
