IN ST. MARTIN.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING
Mass Meeting at Breaux Bridge
DARRALL,s SUCCESSFUL CANVASS
HIS ABLE ALLIES.

Nzw iberia, September q, 1876.
The last of the series of mass meetings in
the Attakapas WAS held at Breaux Bridge
yesterday, the twenty-seventh.
The call of the State Committee fixed the
meeting at St. Martinsville, but our friends
in the parish thought more good would be
done by going to the upper end of the par
ish, and it was we'll they did. as several
hundred people came ont who had never
been at Republican meeting before.
Our speakers, Messrs. Darrsll, Landry,
Fontelieu. Mccarthy and Wakefield, left
here 1T an early hour, and breakfasted in
St. Martinsville.
From there to Breaux Bridge, twelve
miles, they were escorted by the St. Mar
tins brass band, and several hundred
mounted members of the st. Msrtinsville
Republican Club, headed by their presi-
dent, Mr.. Charles Neveu.
Arrived at Bresux Bridge, the procession,
joined by those from above, mounted and
on foot, parsded through the town. and
then marched to grove near by, where
the stand for spaaking Was erected.
Tho crowd, by this time, was immense,
numbering at least 1000, including very
nearly every Republican voter in the par
ish, - we'll - . large number Of Demo-
Gratis.
The speaking was begun by Hon. Samuel
Wake6eld in English, followed BY Mr.. No
Carthy, Congressman Dsrrsll, Judge Fon'
teliea and senator Landry. Judge Fontelieu
and Nh. Mccarthy spoke in French. which
was high y appreciated BY tho audience.
Tho crowded assembly was extremely
enthusiastic, and during Mr.. DArralPs and
Senator Landry's speeches were moved to
tears, - we'll as to shouts of joy. The
meeting was one long to be remembered ON
account of the feeling and enthusiasm
shown by all.
st. Maritime, under the lead of Messrs.
Neveu, CondIey and Delahousaye, is sure
" going Republican by several hundreds
majority.
The thanks of the Republicans of the
Attakapae are returned to Senators Burch,
Cage and Landry, to Judge Marks and
Hon. v. e. Mccarthy. for their eloquent
speeches during these meetings.
Under the admirable direction OF Con-
pressmsn Dsrrall and our local friends, all
Of these meetings have been completely

MORE MURDER IN FELIClANA.

The BulldozeFs at Work.
Dispatches and letters from Bayou Sara
disclose more unconcealed and murderous
system of intimidation than has yet been
practiced.
Wednesday night Rev. Julius Green, q
colored Methodist minister, while going
toward the meeting house from his dwell
ing, was halted by several horsemen, some
Of whom were disguised. His wife was
about fifty yards ahead of him. They dis
mounted and he ran through the tall grass.
and, though q score or more shots were
fred at him, escaped without injury. This
occurred about nine miles from Bayou
Sara.
That same night . portion Of these same
people, with others, went to the house of
Isaac Mitchell, colored man, broke open
his door, and having fourd him said, "You
are one Of the niggers that say you are .
Republican and won't join the Democratic
party" Then, in the presence of his wife,
they beat hun numerically, fred several
shots at him and left him for dead. He has
since died.
This last outrage has aroused the good
people of the parish to the condition to
which such outrsges has reduced them, and
there is now Q prospect that there will be
some judicial action on this last murder.
