WHERE THE SHOT STRIKES.

1t was an aplogue of Cough, distillery
is a quiet place. The furnace and the
stills are at work manufacturing human
ruin by the barrel. The proprietor is
civil spoken person; he may be teacher
in Sunday school or an elder in church.
You pass the establishment every day and
see nothing more dangerous than at the
chemical works nearly opposite. The
advocate of temperance visits the dis
tiller, and urges him to abandon his trade,
because of the mischief caused by its
product. The distiller looks around, and
asks where is there any evidence of this
mischief? The reply is given in this para
bic:
There is battery upon yonder hill.
The officer orders it to open fire on the
distant city. The effect is so destructive
Of life and property that messenger is
sent to make known the damage and to
beg its suspension. The officer in COM
mand of the battery looks around like the
distiller, and demands where is the safety
and order that surrounds the guns; where
can be found any evidence of the alleged
destruction? "That is true" replied the
messenger. "but come with me and see
where the shot strikes.'"
The White League press of Louisiana is
in the place of this battery. 1t has boldly
taught that minority party which can
not get the control of the government by
votes has but to allege misgovernment and

A more unprovoked attack upon the
manhood and courage of the men of Cou-
shatta than that in the Picdylne can
scarcely be conceived. 1t alleges that the
murderer of King and Twitchell, by SIM
ply ''raising six-shooter," which, of
course, had been nearly emptied into the
bodies of his victims, compelled several
of the men (of Coushatta) to leave"
What act in the past lives of the citizens
of the historic Red river village justifies
so wanton an imputation Of cowardice?
Are not they all familiar with the raising
(and firing, too, for that matter), of pis-
tolls? Is it probable even that "several
men" could at any time be found on the
streets of Coushatta without revolvers to
'sraise back" at the murderous and threat
ening strangers. We defy the Picavune
to name single Coushatta man who will
confess that he was thus intimidated-
much less 'seve1al."
This strained sort of defense of the
Coushatta community is nothing more nor
less than confession to its passive par
ticipation in the assassination.

spect for the moral sentiment of the
whole people. In proof We file the con-
demnation Of the Democratic World No
one at the North dares defend the Molly
Mcguire assassins.
In Louisiana, however, We find leading
politicians and almost the entire Demo-
cratic press defending or pslliating the
destruction Of Republican property, the
taking of Republican life or the mutilation
of limbs. 1t is not an unreasonable ap-
prehension that these Maguires, chased
out Of Pennsylvania by an honest concen-
tration of public opinion, may take refuge
in the bayous and chapparal Of Louisiana,
and by the simple tenure of Democratic
allegiance secure permission and protec-
ton to perpetrate any other offenses they
desire,

Referring to the centennial visitors, the
New York Commercial Advertiser says:
Cant the managers, each evening, give US

those "self-registering turn stiles" The
gstekeepers will not impose such check
on themselves and the fifty cent pieces they
take without protest. Business is con-
Quoted at the exposition with the old time
simplicity by men having advantage of in
struction in the modern school of evasive-
ness.

they are absolved from obedience to their
own laws. Every political opponent be-
comes proper subject for abuse or as
sassination, and any combination is law
full which will secure White Lacquer an
Office, while any Independent expression
of opinion on the part of citizen is
treated as treason to Southern society.
These utterances at the seat of State gov
eminent are kept in order by the business
interests of the city. Had the White
League press the power to conduct con.
tinual campaign, as the revolutionists in
Mexico are doing. they would seize the
State House and treasury, close the
stores and bankinghouses not in accord
with or obedient to the White League
organs, and sacrifice every commercial in
terest to military government. The
power of the federal government, and the
material interests which surround the
cabal press preserve this immediate
community from this distillation of
venom, and the shrapnel which explodes
its destructive fragments throughout the
country. The cannonade of the city press
is the signal to the parish weeklies to
open with shorter range and more
deadly effect, and it is this concommitant
and concentrated fire of calumny and ad-
vice to violence that has filed the land
with murders, that interposes the defense
Of the murderers by the city press, and the
city White League clubs, while any one
who kills Republican, even without al
legation of political motive is applauded
by the White Leaguers as having done
patriotic service.
1t is very plain, then, that the mischief
done by the White League batteries in
this city is to be. found chiefly in the
country, though incidentally in the city
itself: The murder of laborers during
the crop season deranges the production.
The virtual notice to all immigrants that
no Northern men, Germans or Repubi-
cans need apply, has excluded the addi-
tional labor and capital to which Lou
isiana is, by her natural advantages,
entitled. The terror and discouragement
of the negroes separate them from the
counsels Of those who are the proper guar
dams of ignorance and inexperience. The
Christian and philanthrophist of the
South is afraid to aid in the education,
Characterization or utilization of the ne
gro, and therafis every danger that the
growing restitution and immortality of
people spurned from the altar, the schools
and from the polls will afiict the people
of Louisiana with social plague that will
render the country even less attractive to
property and intelligence than it is at
present.
The shot, then, from the White League
batteries, strike first the moral sentiment
of the youth, who are taught that murder
is political remedy. Second-The an
nual productions Of the lands and the
incidental profits of our merchants
Third-In the creation of an amount of
theft and vagabondage, which will not
only keep down the value of property,
but deprive social life of those rational
pleasures to be derived from the neigh
borhood of intelligence and virtue.

DIR. Bathurst Woodman, in an article con
tributed to the London Sanitary Record,
directs attention to the fact that ginger
beer, though usually considered "a very in
nocent drink, contains percentage of alco-
hol about half as large as that found in the
malt liquors in common use among the middle
classes OF society in England, and equal to
that in many of the cheaper ales made in
that country, and the beer drunk in Ger
many and other parts of the continent.

Whenever our clai rvoyant neighbor finds
