An Indepeudeut Iuteryiew.

Mr.. +. Charleville, an Independent can
didate for the Legislature in the twelfth
ward, has propounded some leading ques-
tons to the Democratic candidate, which it
is hoped that gentleman will promptly
meet and dispose of. There is nothing SO
satisfactory as to know the views enter
tanned by man seeking the suffrages of
the people for position as law maker, and
silence can only be accepted as an admis-
sion of culpability or weakness. Here is
Mr.. Charlevillss letter:
jordan +. Aycock, ESQ.,:
DEAR SIR-Are y0u, or are you not, in
favor of submitting to the popular vote the
question If assessing the taxable property
Of the parish of Orleans for the cOnstruc-
ton of the New Orleans Pacific railway. in
accordance with an act passed by the last
Legislature?
Have you, or have you not, in order to
secure your nomination and election as q
member of the House Of Representatives of
the next General Assembly of the State,
promised to support q proposition, if offered,
in the House Of Representatives to limit the
vote on the New Orleans Pacific railroad
issue to the taxpayers and pOesessors of
real estate exclusively
Are you, or are you not, in favor of the
repeal or modification OF the charter of the
Crescent City Slaughterhouee Company!
Yours respectfully.
F. CHARLEVILLE,
Independent Candidate for the Legislature,

BADGER AND CLAIBORNE GUARDS.-Last
Saturday night this Seventh District club.
before attending the mass meeting in Car
rollton visited the residence OF Miss E.
Messiah, where a pretty banner was pre-
sented by that young lady. The banner, of
blue silk, was made by an amateur, Mr.. w.
T. Mobiles, and would do credit 10 a pro 'es.
emit after making the following speech:
To the President, Officers and Members of
the Badger and Claiborne Guards-Gen-
tlemen. in behalf Of the ladies of the Sew
enth District take great pleasure in pre-
senting to you this banner, emhlematic of
their est ,em and admiration. Gentlemen,
this banner is to be as a token of victory
80 that when you look upon it you will re-
member that it was given 10 the Badger
and Claiborne Guards, not for its intrinsic
value, but to encourage them il the field
on the seventh OF November as behoves
noble men to STAND TO their principles and
cast tle straight Republican ticket and no
other or the seventh. 1t you see a poor
old colored blind man going 20 the
ballot-box see that he is not de-.
prived of his rights. If you be
honest anu love your country you
will be sure to have Hayes and
Wheeler tor your President and Vice Presi-
dent. Oh! how pleasing 1t will be to the
Almighty to see the eighth come, and to
find everything cheerful, and not to see any
poor weeping widows who were deprived
of their husbands on the seventh, and not
to see any poor weeping little orphans who
were deprived of their dear fathers on the
seventh. Gentlemen, let me once again say,
receive this banner from the ladies of the
Seventh District as an evidence of the deep
interest III at they have in you as political
organization. May this banner ever wave
over the Badger and Claiborne Guards.

Matters In North Louisiana.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Perhaps you have heard how political
affairs are progressing in Ouachita parish,
but as l have Just passed through that
region will send a few observations.
Previous elections and the present regis
tration show that the Republican majority
is not less than 800 and may safely be esti-
mated at 1000 if fairly polled. The timid
policy of EnnemOser. who, in the absence OF
o. H. Brewster and since the murder o
Dr.. DiHkgrave, assumed to be the leading
manager Of the party, has discouraged the
colored voters and greatly pleased the ex-
IRENE Democrats. Large numbers of col
ored men have joined Democratic clubs
through fear. No attempt has been made
to check the aggressive policy OF the enc
my. Threats and deeds which were clear
violations of law have been unnoticed and
uDpunished.
Enuemoser all the time advised Hepub-
licans to "wait," to keep quiet to De eau
tieus, when nothing was needed 80 much as
boldness. energy AID courage
Last Tuesday October ~ Hon. O. z.
Brewster, Hon. W. II. Hunt, candidate for
Attorney General, and other prominent Re
pablicans, visi ed the Grady schoolhouse,
in the first wal j, northern part of the par
ish, to hold meeting according to previous
announcement.
party of armed whit men were there,
VINO met the Republicans with insults, but
no colOred audience.
Some colOred men who started to after
the meeting were met on the road by
squads Of Patton's cavalry and turned
back. As it was evident NO Republican
meeting could be held, the speakers rode
through portions of the colored settlements
and every man they met told them tina,
White Leaguers had warned them not to be
present. Colored men living miles apart
told the same thing. They were afraid to
60.
The Democrats openly boast that they
will carry Ouschita by l0C0 majority. They
know very we'll that without violence OF
intimidation they must be defeated by a,
least 800 votes, and most likely by more
than 1000.
The Republicans have at last made par
ish nominations, and will at once entel
upon an active campaign.
