what was intended 1t should be. that
instead of a harmless medicine, the DR..
had ordered deadly poison. The mis-.
take was discovered, but too late The
child died in about an hour after takinr
the medicine. The Coroner's inquest has
developed the fact that the child died of
disease. and not from the effects of the
medicine. Only small quantity of the
drug, not sufficient to cause death. could
be forced down the child; but the care

On Saturday before the New Orleans
investigating committee, Judge II. =.
Myers, a Republican OF Natchitoches par.
ish, testified that he had lived there
about fifteen years, and had left through
fear OF personal violence; that since 1863
thirty-thee persons had been murdered in
that parish, twenty-five of whom were
colOred men, ard not one of the murder
ers punished. and that he and his family
had been driven out of the parish on &C.
count OF his political opinions. His testi-
mony was corrcborated in every point by
that of bis wife Mr.. Isachs, another cit.
Izen Of the same parish, testified that on
election day the Mayor of the parish
town in two hundred special policemen,
every one OF whom was Democrat aid
member of the White League. Isachs
voted the Republican ticket, and the
same night was shot al. He gave as his
opinion that above five hundred col, red
men in that parish were prevented FROM
voting by intimidation. This looks like
another attempt to bring odium on the
down trodden White Leaguers. Let Us
