THE CoUsHATTA AFFAIR.
From the Minden Democrat.

From the Minden Democrat.
From all accounts which we can
gather, both public and private,
there seems to be but one version OF
the recent killing OF King and
wounding of M. 81. Twitchell at
Coushatta. The perpetrator OF the
deed is certainly bold and desper
ate man, who was certainly actuated
BIZ motives other than a mere crav-
ing for the blood OF his fellow man.
Every man, woman and child in all
North Louisiana know that OF all
the deep dyed Williams that flooded
the South, and particularly IN this
State, NJ. Ii. Twitchell was one OF
the worst, and no matter what his
end may he, he has not received
more than he richly deserves. He
was the originator OF the Coushatta
troubles in 1874, and his incendiary
letter to his brother urging him to
incite the negroes to riot for the
sake Of making political capital. re-
snlting in the death of a number OF
his strikers, is only one of numerous
viIlainies which be has cOncOcted
against the peace and welfare of the
people, both black and white, in
North Louisiana. In fact his whole
career since he has been a citizen OF
the State, has been one series OF
villainous attempts to incite blood
shed and war between the races that
he, in company with his bnmmers,
might rob and plumber the people
ofthe parish in which he lives. Shoot.
ing was to good for him. He ought
long since been dangling from some
good stout limb, and there is no nse
Disgusting the fact, that the death
of Twitchell, should he die, will be ;
blessing to the parish Of Red River
and the people will breathe freer il
consequences of the promise which
it gives in the future Of an end t
negro instructions and threatened
wholesale murder OF white womel
and children. The attack was made
from all accounts, by a man VIII

known, while crossing the river in IA

made his escape, though pursued by
the Sheriff7s posse and mp to latest
accounts had not been arrested. We
do not know the cause of the attack
on these parties, but the proyication
must have been serious, and deeply
felt by the one who did the shoot
ing. Twitchel has carried things
in Red River parish to an unwarrant-
ed extent, and excited, no doubt,
against him feelings of such bitter
hatred, that nothing but the forfeit
of his life will satisfy the parties
whom he has so deeply wrOnged.
Men have been driven from their
homes and firesides, and bounded
down at the instigation of this man,
and they are not apt to forget such
treatment, and sooner or later, he
might reasonably have expected the
calamity that has befallen him.

Quite wonderful feat has been
performed by an enterprising Scotch
man, now resident in California. Mr..
John s. Harris is a breeder Of goats.
Havinnd discovered from specimens
of real Cashmere wool sent him from
Madras that it differed essentially
from that grown upon Al CORA goats
in California, he resolved to 60 upon
a voyage of discovery for himself.
He started April 16, 1876, from
California, via Japan aud China,
intending to go overland into Tibet.
but found that route impracticable.
He went to Calcutta, and travelled
through India to Cashmer. He found
the goats covered with sparse coat
of long, black hair, with a fleece
underneath of extremely white, silk
like wool. The home of the Cash
mere goat being in the Hlmalaya
Mountains, $4,000 feet above the
level of the sea, the traveller found
that they could not be properly ac-
climatized in California. He found,
at the same time, that mohair wool
goats can be successfully raised in
a latitude such as the sierras of
Southern California. Mr.. Harris
then concluded to go to Angora. He
was compelled to return to Calcutta
and proceed via Ceylon, Indian
Ocean, Red Sea, and Suez Canal to
Port Said, over the Taurus Noun
tains. After enduring great hard
ships he finally reached Angora,
and bought his goats-two rams
and ten ewes. 1t was only after
surrounding great difficulties that
he finally reached Liverpool, and
thence arrived at Baltimore en- route
for California. Including his expen
SEES, the goats have cost him S52i
apiece in gold, or total of $1,000
The goats are in good condition, and
several kids have been born on the
passage. Mr.. Harris thinks he has
found, by proper breeding, that Cal
ifornia is especially adapted to pro
duce mOhair woods. His goats were
visited by thousands of people il
Liverpool.
