DEMOCRATIC TACTICS
The Abduction of Republican Members Of
tie LEGISLATURE.

The Abduction of Republican Members of
tie Legislature.
Among the desperate attempts OF the
Democrats to control the Legislature is
noted the forcible taking away from the
city of Mr. A. J. Cousin, member elect from
the parish of st. Tammany. At about half.
past eight o'clock yesterday morning four
men took Mr.. Cousin from the house where
he was stopping. at the corner of St. Claude
and Dumaine streets, handcufed him, and
took him in a roundaboys. way to the Parish
Prison. Here we learn ne was detained
without an entry being made upon the
prison books In the afternoon he was
taken from prison by parties represe ting
themselves as deputy sheriff and posse from
the parish of ST. Tammany, attended by
severafrlen of the city, and being placed
in fNiage was driven through several
streetsS h the back portion of the Third
Distri and finally to the Ponchartrain
railroa.., and at four o'clock was put On
board the steamer CameIia, at the lake end,
boundisr st. Tammanys The only solution
to thismysterious affair is a rumor of some
charge of embezzlement having been made
againse Mr. Cousin N st. Tammany, and
that fta has been taken back to the country
by Captain Floyd for the obvious reason Of
preventing him from taking his seat in the
House on Monday.
Another sensation is found in the disap-
pearance, or rather non appearance of Hon.
Cain Sartain, of Carroll parish. Mr. Sar-
tain is,J1nown to have left Vicksburg on his
waEMaer, and was due here yesterday
aftei. pn by the Jackson train. 1t is re-
ported SS.hat he did arrive, and was taken in
ohargdby party of men who spirited him
away Nom his friends. He has probably
met tt fate of Mr.. Cousin, and will be de-
taines has future disposition.

It is disgraceful that the creditors of the
State, including among them judges of the
Supreme Court, should be compelled to
wait, day after day, at the doors of the
Treasurer, for the money they have earned
and that the State has agreed to pay. 1t is
not the fault Of the Treasurer, we are in
formed, but OF the tax collectors, twenty
seven of whom have failed to turn over the
funds in their hands amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. 1t is to be
hoped that this state OF affairs will not be
longed.
