colored voters were here at their fiz-

Two more palpable falsehoods never
we're flashed across the wires in the
United States. At no one time were
there over $50 colored voters on the

lies to let their dupes here know
what champions liars their chiefs

4 Foul Murder.

news which reached town on Wed
nesday night. that Frank A. Biossat,
,r., had been murdered at the Red
Store on Cotile, by a man named
james Liehtfoot, who came to that
neighhorhood from Texas a year or
20 ago, and when bis body was
brought down and inferred on Friday,
a universal feeling Of regret and in
'llgnation took possession of the
community The circumstances of
the homocide show it to have been
premeditatel in its design, unpro-
vokel as to Icause, and cold looded
in it's execution. They are briefly as
follows: Henry A. Biossat, brother
of the deceased had made advances
to Lighttoot, and found it necessary
to make a seizure of che crop. -
Frank A. Biossat, Jr., and Henry
Blanchard, as special officers, made
the seizure observing all the forms
of law in doing so. For this cause,
and no other. Ightfoot and his crowd
swore vengeance. On Wednesday,
the deceased rode up to the Red
Store, kept by his father, and situa-
ted at the old dirt dam, and found
the two Lightfoots there: one armed
with double barreIled shot gun. and
the other with revolver. They had
been waiting at the store alt day and
had thrown his father off his guard
by pretending to have been satisfied
as t" the seizure and they shrew
poor Frank off his guard. aotwith-

shaking hands with him as he code
up. He had ridden up to the rack,
ABOUT ten PAGES from the store door,
and was unsaddling his horse. and
'ad just lifted che saddle from the
norse's back, whenlLightfoos renewed
the subject of the seizure, and

was false, James Nghttoot, assisted
by his brother whoswas standing by
his side, raised his shot gun and

the other barrel and lodged every

NEW PARISH.

The Republican nominee for Leg

dorsed" and ''adopted" democrat for
District Judge, R. A. Hunter, are
making the issue OF tile campaign,
on the North side of Red River, s
new Parish. All political issues are
to be laid in the hack ground, and the
PEOPLE are TO vote for Hunter ana
Barrett. outside of their partv' "e-
cause they promise new PARISH

Barrett when nominated said lie
would carry three hundred votes on
his side Of the River, and it was sup
posed that his strength would come
from his advocacy of new parish.
But this Dragging by those two shi-
ning lights en- the Republican tirket,
can't deceive the Democrats and the
white people of North Red River.
The next Legislature in this State
will he Democratic, and this every
one knows who is at all posted in pc
litical affairs. Our Democratic
friends are not simple enough to lis

the Democrats would consider it a
Radical measure gotten up with a
design to divide the Democratic
strength and give both Parishes to

citations Of Ba rett are well known,
and this small apostle of Radlcalism,
could never influence any slem' cratic

Advisory

II our people in Louisiana will but
maintain the peace and order which
have Prevailed so Tar i'm this cam.
paign, radicalism will be without q
pretext upon which to- try 60 count
us out. They are praying for DIS
turbance of some kind, and il is their
only hope. Let no man forget this
for an instant, and let US submit al
most to any indignity that may he
offered, and listen with patience to
any and all falsehoods and exaggera
,ions that they may utter. This is
q duty which we owe to ourselves
and not only to the State of Loulsi
ana, hut to the whole South, and to
the friends in the North who are 80
nobly fighting for the vindicatiola of
our fair name and the protection of
our rights. 1t does not matter what
may be the provocation, or how much
we may be in the right Any dis
turhance i'm the South is exaggerated
and serves their purpose 10 cry dis
order and turbulence in the South
Thus far we have their OWN sestimo
ny 20 to the peace and order which
have characterized this political can
vass, and IL wouhl be suicidal TO al
low ourselves 10 be provoked into
any disorder. We are thus careful
to again refer t0 this matter FOR fear
that some hos headed man, might at
sometime do a rash and shoughtless
act that would jeopardize our delive-
rance from radical .hralltlons and
play into their hands. We advise
ali who are not sure of their tempers
to stay away from places where they
are likely 10 hear SANDERS and per
versions Of the truth. One such
might do Us more harm than al the
radical speakers in Louisiana.
The. RADICAL DEMONSTRATION. -
Tomorrow Marshall Packard and
his bulldozers are expected to speak
here. In public he will explain to
his arpreciative audience the fate
that has befallen the Rice and Sugar
interests of our State by the passage
of the Hawaiian treaty, and in pri
vate he will instruct his h nchmen to
commit all the frauds and provoke
all the violence necessary to carry
this Parish. We inform him before
hand his efforts are vain. The cleo
ton here will be peaceable and hi
will be beaten. Jack Wharton anr
Burch will be along, it is sail, AM
some other negroes. The posters
announce William Hunt also as on
of the speakers. We predicted
month ago that he would not b.
found in that gang, but he nigh
