Shoot Him.

The CoIsha.ta Citizen gives the follow
River parish, appointed vice King, mur-
dereG:
A man named Sheridan has been ap
pointed tax collector for this parish and
reached here on Wednesday morning to
charge Of his office. out owing 20 some ''slll
of the lip lie has not collected any taxes
yet, and the chances are that he won't
We trust the Governor will appoint some
responsible citizen to the office, and stop
sending his renegades here TO rob our peO
pie OF what LITTLE they have left. A mass
meeting OF our citizens will be held to. day
to determine whether Mr.. Sheridan shall be
our tax collector or not.
The reception of Mr.. Sheridan is not fiat
tering, but it is entirely consistent with
the record of bloody Coushatta. 1t is pos
sible the new appointee may be good
officer, capable, and anxious to perform his
duties in the best manner. That, however,
is nothing in his favor in the minds of COu-
shatta outlaws. The Democrats of Red River
look upon the tax collector as the natural
enemy of mankind. and when one appears
there they hold mass meeting to decide
upon the manner of his death. Some favor
intimidation as a mild measure of relief
others suggest assassination. If Mr.. Sherl-
dan attempts 70 do his duty, it will be in
order for the mysterious stranger to appear
mounted on Ia peculiar colored pony
and murder the tax gatherer in cold blood

Tilden's Delay.

Tilden's delay IN writing his letter OF &C
ceptance, the contradictory ru1no-s about
Hendricks, the insubordinatiOn OF the West
ern Democrats, and the course OF TIlden
organs on civil service reform, have given
the Democratic canvass an uneasy aspect.
The letter of Hayes had marked effect in
uniting all discordant factions of the Repub-
lican party; as political move it is mas.
terpiece The declaration for ore term and
against C.esarism, which ends the war be-
gun by the Her0!a four years ago, produces
profound satisfaction. The people. know
ing the skill and power of Tilden, are i'm
patient to hear what he has to say. This
impatience is increased by the eccentric
conduct of Mr.. Hendricks. That gentle
man does not show toward Mr.. Tilden the
loyal enthusiasm that party expects from
the second candidate on the ticket. His
journey to Saratoga to make terms
on various points has made an un-
pleasant impression, and gives the par
tisan Republicans the chance of saying that
some kind of juggle is intended-tha. it
is to be Seymour and Blair over again
Tildel pulling one way and Hendricks the
other, just as Seymour and Blair pulled
their canvass to pieces between them before
it was half over. The fact, also, that one
of Mr.. Tilden's newspaper supporters, the
one which has earnestly championed him as
q candidate before the convention and the
country, has openly denounced the civil
service reform as "step toward aristoc-
racy," has produced painful impression
that can only be dispelled by prompt pub
lication of letter Of acceptance taking as
strong ground in favor of civil service re-
form as Hayes'.-NeU Yorh Herald.
