MIR. Alfred Phillips,

1t is matter of great regret that the i'll.
ness which hae afflicted Mr.. Alfred Phillips
caused many of his friends to fear that his
usefulness was ended, but also for some
hours to confirm their fears by the untinely
announcement of his death in city paper.
1t is not pleasant thing TO read the obi.-
uary of friend even when every word of
praise stops short of truth. Nothing that
could be said OF Mr.. Phillips, at such sbor.
notice as the Picayune had, could express
one-half Of what would be the thoughts of
all it the news had been true.
The agreeable news that he was rapidly
improving greeted nearly every one long
before the evening papers appeared, and he
may now be assured the congratulations at
his recovery, and hopes for many more
years Of the honest, unselfsh and learned
efforts for the good of his many clients, are
as honest as they will be universal,

School and Church In New Jersey.

There has been strong effort made to
show that the Republican party is opposed
| to the Catholic Church. 1t is not true that
there is any principle of the party opposed
to it, that its policy is directed toward it's
| injury, or that it's members are any more
inimical to it than to the Protestant Church
or to any religion. But it does resent any
attack on the system of free schools that Is
the pride of America, no matter where it
comes from.
1t is also true that in certain localities the
Catholic Church has pronounced against
that system, and raised it's voice in political
warfare against it. In these inst Ances
the church has become hostile to the
Republican party, and the resentment
1t causes ID not due to amino ,ity to the
church, but to the instinct that rouses all to
defend the right. In this the church has
found antagonists in its own household, not
merely IN the dropping of the noiseless bal
lot, but by the Outspoken remonstranoe of
sincere devOtees. @
Last Tuesday the people of New Jersey
voted on amendments to the State constitu-
tion. They were generally acceptable and
probably would have been adopted, though
many considered they entered too much
into detail, as is complained Of in that of
Illinois. But in Morristown the Catholic
clergy called on each Catholic voter to
scratch the four amendments which related
to public schools, and forbade the appropria-
tion Of public moneys for sectsrian purposes.
To the people of that State this seemed
unwarrantable, and an excitement prevailed
which, contrary to what might have hap
pened here, resulted in majority OF 3O,Ooo
for the amendments. This protects the
schools and probably removes all causes of
discussion between church and party in
that State.

The Shreveport Times is inclined to ridi.
cule the circulating and other efforts of our
great New Orleans journals. 1t says:
The intellectual athletes of the New Or
leans dailies quail before the suhtleties of
no question, however gigantic. The Times
and Pieoyu,te, for several weeks, wrestled
In high intellectual combat over the ab-
struse, ave, the insOlvable problem as to
which OF the two has the largest circula-
ton. The question was not determned:
but, only because it was beyond the power
or human genius to determine it, and for
several days, the two great journals of the
Southwest lay exhausted in strength, but
glaring at each other like two mighty lions
whose courage and ferocity had survived
their strength. More recently, however,
the Picayu,e has got up, quiet swallowed
Governor Allen, of Ohio, WHOLE and is now
lsziiy chawing up the Democratic party.
While the Pieayane is thus pleasantly oc-
cuPying itself, the Times, having also raj
lied, has engaged the Pulietin In strife as
fearful as that waged with the Picay,sne
over the circulation question, and the oity,
awe stricken, is watching the ponderuus
blows the Times and Bullein are dealing
each other; and the high question they are
disputing over is, is it A. T. Stewart or Sem
ator JOnes. of Nevada, who has started the
ice machine at the corner of Foucher and
Delord streets. By all means let us nave
an International Congress to settle the tie
mendous questions over which the New Or.
leans journalists are making such horrid
strife.
The Shreveport paper magnities the
modest pretensions of our neighbors too
greatly. For instance, the oldest paper has
At the head of it's first editorial column:
The Picayune has the largest circulation
in the Southwest
From this we infer that it claims little
circulation in the Northwest. The Times
has hoisted with job type emphasis:
Largest daily circulation in the South.
west.
This, of course, refers to itself, and also
claims the Southwest as it's strongest hold.
The BuHetin still more careful, and says:
Largest daily circulation in New Or.
leans.
1t will be seen that all of these statements
are ipgeniously put up and non-committal,
and no advertiser can claim damages. If
each of our neighbors claimed larger cir
culation in any particular allsy than any
other paper, the case would be different,
AS it is, only 80 much is said BY each paper
as can be said without meaning anything,
and such language, as we take it, is the
true policy of all independent journalism.
THE Shreveport Times is invited to study
the circulation question more closely.

MONROE, La, September 7, ls7

MONROE, La, September 7, 1875.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Last Friday morning q most cowardly
and cold bl0Oded murder was committed in
the NTH ward OF fhis parish, some sixteen
miles from Monroe. A party of twenty men
were engaged working the road when a
white msn named Robert Smith came up
and deliberately shot negro, killing him
instantly. The cause was this: Two days
before, while Smith and the negro We're
both working on the road along with the
rest of the party, Smith called the colored
man "a Niger" To this the latter objected,
and denied beng "nigger." Smith re.
peat I'd the term, and Kennedy (the colored
mani continued to deny it. Some anger
was manifested on both sides. but the dis
pute ended without violence or threats.
On Friday evening, however, Smith came,
though he was not required to work on
the road that day, he having privously
furnished hand in his place. He ap-
preached Kennedy saying, 'Ain't you a
damned Aiggeil" do you say you amt a
damned niggerw Kennedy merely replied,
"Go away, don't shoot me, Mr.. Smith,"
but before any one fully comprehended his
murderous design, Smith shot him in the
back of the neck as the colored man was NOV.
ing away, killing him Instantly. The mur.
derer was go near his victim that the charge
of buckshOt made but single wound.
One of the white men at work was so near
that the lifeless body fell upon the hoe he
had in his hand.
The excitement and Indignation of the
party which wit nessed this eauseless muir
der was intense. Some even proposed to
hang the murderer at once. He was seized,
tied, and preparations made for guarding
him to Monroe. Some, however, felt doubts
of their right to make the arrest without
due form of law, and it was finally agreed
that bis friends should take him TO town.
-Four persons started with him. They al.
lowed him first to 60 to his place of resi-
dence TO get his things" Then the men
who had him in charge. made various ex
euses, and left the murderer unbound in
the keeping of boy, who was
unarmed. The boy protested, and
told them he could not prevent
Smiths escape if he refused to stay; but
the men went of, leaving the boy to guard
q murderer, and of course the murderer
sooD after went off too. Next day deputy
sheriff went out from Monroe to look tor
Smith, but he made no etfgrt to find him.
Smith came back to the house of the farmer
with whom he lived during Friday uight,
and got his clothes, then left again. He
went on foot, not having horse, and might
easily have been Overtaken. on Saturday
had pursuit been made. Two men named
Farr are believed by the neighbors to be
equally guilty. They aided Smith to es-
cape, and it is believed encouraged him to
commit the murder. All the other citizens
condemn the act in the strongest terms.
