The Amounted Dog.

The Amounted Dog.
We again resume the disagreeable
task of handling the dirty negro, Ra-
ford Blunt, preacher, politician, would
he Senator, thieving president Of the
swindling school board Of our parish,
liar, .perjurer and slanderer. :, r.
In bis testimony before the Con-
gressional Committee, in New Or
leans, he speaks Of a respectable citl-
zen and Democrat Of our parish, who
is a lefaulter to the amount Of $500,
according to Mr.. Lusher. , We tell
him that he lies; aud he knows.lt,
and we defy him to call upon MI.
Lasher, III print, to substaptiatc his
statement. 4 -'. - 4 j.
He further states that ''the colored
people believe, up there, lin. this par
ish) that Iiif the Democrats carried
the election, they would be put back
in slavery" That is truo with a
large portion Of the ignorant negroes
here. But he fails to say who taught
them to believe this. It is he and 9TH
er scalawags, who, in their midnight
meetings and clubs and private CON
versations, frightened them with this
tale, in order to get their votes, and
prevent them from siding, with the
whites; and we have in our posses
sion, at this moment, the affidavit Of
a negro who swears that a white
scalawag who ran for office on the
republican ticket, at the last election
induced him to vote that ticket, be.
cause if he did not, the. moment tn.
whites got the government they
would deprive him and his race Of the
right of suffrage, and put them back
into slavery. That is tho % urc.
whence they got that belief.
He states upon oath that "thert
were at least 1900 Republican voters
intimidated who failed to vote at tn,
election in l574." Such a bold, bar,
faced lie, induced Mr.. Zacharie,t6 asl
him if he knew the population Of hi
own parish. This learned Sen ator
worthy and capable of representing
the people Of four parishes in Lou
isians, did not know tho population
Of the parisl, in which he resided
unless he could "refer to the map
You braying ass! how stupid yol
arc, even tor a negro Senator. You
had to refer to a hap for population
but did not require any help What
ever, to make a statement which llat
just exactly; 1900 lies in it. The full
census Of 1870, gave q population o
l8,Wo.' Subsequently, wards LIT AMI
I'd, and portion Of ward 3, we e Gu
off to mako the parish of Red River
and consequently threw out 300 o
our population. Now, according t.
the present population Of tho parish
and the number Of registered voter
in it, the whites registered ono t,
every four and a half, aud the black
one to every four. If 1900 be Blunt
" added to the black vote it wouii
give ono voter to every two and .
half Of blacks, which il absuf I'd be,
cause impossible, and proves thi1
honorable ~ Senator and wo1 thy Il
minister to be an arrant liar and a,
ass. He does not know how that ca,
be, but he is certain that l200|black,
were inundated. Then, further o,
he states that q fair vote would b,
ono fourth Of the blacks to every ION
voters. He thus eats up his ow,
statement and stamps himself a liza
before the Committee. But, If tim,
was allowed him, says he, g csult
give you -fgures.". Meaning nd doubt
the Boullt or Myers figures, which h
had forgotten to provide himself will
before be presented himself obesity
Oh! you stupid, shameless, i1fa,nou

your heart is made upof corruption
