Peace In Vermiliou.

During the session of the Republican
convention in New Orleans, dispatch was
received stating that Carl Schneider,
deputy tax collector of Vermilion parish,
had been shot and severely wounded. The
statement was published in the REPUB-
LiCAN, July 4, denied as a fabrication by
the opposition press, and subsequently con-
firmed by fuller accounts. Neither Schneider
nor his assailant, both being wounded, died
however.
But Carl Schneider has been killed since
in most cowardIy and b-uta! manner.
letter just received gives complete details,
and from it extracts are here made. An
additional cause for the killing, in White
League parlance, may be found in the fact
that Schneider was secretary of the Repub-
lican Parish Executive Committee. He
was killed at AbbevilIe, Vermilion parish,
by F. r. King, a lawyer and an active
Democratic politician, as the letter says.
It continues:
Schneider was sitting at BiaIc's Hotel
conversirg with friend, with his back
toward the street, pieux fence interven-
ing between MIN anu tH6 SLTeSt. Wucu hluS
crept up along the fence till he arrived
within a few feet of the unconscious
Schneider. Then, putting his gun within
few Cches of Schneider's head, shot, send
ing nineteen buckshot entirely through the
head of the victim. Not satisfied with
even this, he shot again, lodging nineteen
shot in the side of Schneider. Then cody
shouldered his fusee and proceeded to hunt
up the sheriff of the parish, Lyman Lyons,
and informed him that he "had killed that
fellow Schneider" 1t is asserted that said
sheriff told him he had better keep out of
the way for while; the people might get
excited.
The letter then refers to the previous
quarrel in which both King and Schneider
were wounded.
Preliminary examination was partially
held by Judge Kibbe, parish Judge, on the
thirty-tirst of July. and adjourned to
August 2. King is still at large, as he has
been during the examination of the case,
and, as our White League friends say,
while commenting on the occurrence:
king would be hung like q id dog if
that fellow Schneider had not been id
Radical There is no doubt, under these
circumstances, King will not be found
guilty.

We have before called attention to the
very great importance of removing the raft
that has been formed in the river above
here by the late rise. If their removal ls
delayed until the river falls the labor and
expense of removal will be very great-in
fact the removal will not be accomplished
until another appropriation is made by
Congress. Meantime navigation will be as

lhe following resolution was adOpted:
Rcsolred, That inasmuch as DR.. S. c.
Russell has failed to accept the Office to
which this board elected him, said office be
declared vacant, and that Thursday,
August IL, be fixed as the time of election,
and that all members of the board be no
titled thereof.
DR.. Russell was elected sanitary inspec-
tor of the Third District, which is now in
the hands of DR.. Devron. DR.. Russell
said, in private, that no more competent
officer than DR.. Devron could be found,
and he had no desire to displace him. Con-
sequently he has made no effort to exercise
the duties of the office.
The board having chosen DR.. Russell as
an officer and physician we'll qualified in
their opinion for the position, can confirm
the soundness Of their own judgment, and
compliment his modesty in no better way
than by the reelection of DR.. Devron.
The Board then adjourned.

rILDEN.S WAR RECORD.

We don't suppose anybody will
doubt the genuineness Of the Rich
mond Enquirer's Democracy. At any
rate there is not the least cause for its
being doubted by the very straitest Of
the sect. And if any doubt should ex-
ist of its character, let the following,
which we clip from the weekly is
sue of that paper for Sept. l, dispel
all such misgivings 1t is q consola-
ton to know" remarks that paper,
that q little truth is Oozing into the
ears Of New England voters. A Mr..
Underwood, who spoke al Burlington
the other night, told the Green Noun
tain Boys, in the course Of an attack
upon the Democracy, that Tilden once
told him, during the war, that every
soldier sent by Lincoln into Virginia
was constitutionally guilty Of tres
pass. and justly liable to punishment
under the common law" It will be
observed that the Enquirer accepts
Mr.. Underwood's statement unques
toned, and halls Mr.. Tilden's ex-
preston of opinion upon the sending
Of Northern troops into Virginia, as
welcome truth "oozing into the ears
Of New England voters" The copy
of the Enquirer containing this testi-
monial of Tilden's true Democracy
can be seen by the curious on applica-
ton at the APPEAL Office.
