the next they were convulsive with
laughter. His speech was relishec
by white and black.
Major w. f. Blackman, OF Alex.
andria, was then called upon; but
refused to make a speech. He
said that those present had heard
enough from the speakers who
already addressed them, and spoke
in very strong terms against indie
pendent voters.
Mr.. Blackman was followed by
Flowers and Ward, who reiterated
what they said ir their New Orleans
speeches. They were listened to
with great attention by the colored
men.
There was plenty at the barbe-
cue for all to eat, and to spare;
and the day was agreeably spent

A RISE that Did Not Work.

During the speaking on Monday
last, a sham quarrel was gotten up
by some Republican negroes,
headed by G. Fl. Thomas, the col
ored nominee on the Republican
ticket for Representative from this
parish. He made himself very
oficious, and complained to the
speakers ON the stand, and said
that they came by invitation, and
that the colored men present
could not stand a chance with the
whites. He then mounted his
horse and rode off, thinking that
all the colored men would follow
him; but in this he was mistaken,
as not one accompanied him.
Seeing that his ruse did not work,
he came back after the lapse of a
half hour, aud behaved himself
afterwards. His aim was to get
the colored men away, so that they
would not hear the Democratic
speakers, and at the same time
trump up political capital for the
Republicans. If Thomas got what
he deserved, the Sheriff ought to
have arrested and lodged him in
Jail. Such nincompoops as him are
the cause of nearly all the riots
and bloodshed which has occurred
in this State.

John D. Lee Sentenced.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 10.-~At Beaver,
Utah, to-day Judge Foreman pas
sed sentence upon John D. Lee
for participation in the Mountain
Meadow massacre, nineteen years
ago. In doing SO he called atten-
ton to the atrocity of the crime,
the inability heretofore of the
authorities to procure evidences;
that the conspiracy to murder was
widespread; that Lee was offered
up as a sacrifice to popular indig-
nation, but the others equally
guilty might hereafter expect pun
ishment. The prisoner having the
right, under the laws of the Terri
tory, to choose death by hanging,
shooting or beheading, and having
chosen to be shot, was sentenced
to be shot 10 death January 2e,
1877.

The New State Engineer.

The New Orleans Republican
has the following to say of Gen.
jeff Thompson's successor:
The appointment of Col. A. f.
Wrotnowski to succeed Gen. NJ.
JEFF Thompson as chief State en-
gineer, will be peculiarly gratifying
to all who know what the Office
requires and the qualifications of
the appointed.
Col. Wrotnowski is the son of
the late Hon. Salathiel Wrotnow-
Ski, at one time Secretary of State
of Louisiana. During the war he
was volunteer lieutenant colonel
OF the Federal army, and detailed as
an officer of engineers. A broth
er of his was killed at Port Hud-
son while serving on the staff of
Major General Weizel.e sa.
In theory and practice Of all
branches of engineering and sur
yeying, civil and military. Colonel
Wrotnowski is thoroughly educa-
ted, and he has had more practi-
cal experience than falls to the lot
OF most of his profession. In ad-
dition to this he is exceptionally
familiar with the duties of his
present Office, because of his long
connection with it. Learned in
his profession, he is exceedingly
modest in presenting his opinions,
though positive in maintaining
them. A gentlemen by birth and
education, a lover of his profession
for the sake of it, conscientious
and indeiatigable, he will do honor
to an appointment which, I'M
sought, is only a promotion for
distinguished merit.

Jail Delivery at Coushatta.
The following is from the Cou-
Shatta Gifize,, IF Ocfohar 7.

The following is from the Cou-
shatta Citizen of October Z:
Some time during last Wednes-
day night a party of unknown
men visited the parish jail in this
place and set at liberty all the
criminals confined therein. One
of the prison ers, who convefsed
with parties after getting out, says
the men who set them free were
white men, ten or twelve in num-
Der, and well armed. They first
tried to force open the front door
Of the Jail, bat finding it too much
for them, they got a ladder and
effected an entrance by window
in the second story of the building.
Some of the prisoners were under
sentence and were shackled and
chained; the chains and shackles
we're filed lose, and after being set
free the whole crowd left town in
the direction of Springville, and
have not since been heard of, with
the exception of one negro, who is
up the river patiently waiting for
the sheriff to come for him. The
belief is general that the men who
entered the Jail are the friends of
the man Strother, charged with an
attemp upon the life of Mr.. T.
Wester, district clerk, but how
true the supposition may be, we
are unable to say. We have not
heard whether or not the sheriff
will try to capture the prisoners
and arrest the men who liberated
them, but presume not, as the at
tempt would likely prove waste
of time. No blame or suspicion is |
attached to the officer in charge of |
the Jail, Mr.. Champion, who knew
nothing of what had transpired the |
night previous until he went to
feed them on Thursday morning, |
and found them gone. Four of |
the fleeing birds are negroes, and
the other white man.

place boat in the trade to repre-

The Carrie A. Thorn left this
morning for the wreck, for the pur-
pose Of saving all that could be
saved. The boat burned to the
waters edge and sank in near the
bank. Her safe, engines, boilers,
ETC., will, no doubt be recovered
in time.
As the books and papers were
destroyed, it is impossible to give
a list OF the consignees of her

The School Board.

Editor CHRbNIcLE:
l was in your town on Saturday
the 14th inst, for the purpose o.
meeting that august body, the
School Board but no such body
did l meet. / suppose some OF
them had bought piece of land
and must go and see it; and others
bought a yoke of oxen and must
go and try them; and some OF
them went to New Orleans. not to
marry wife, but to see their wife,
etc. 80 s'H
Now, let it suffice for me to say
this to the School Board How
is it that they can take an oath to
discharge the duties belonging to
said Office, and very seldom appear
to attend to the duties devolved
on them2
Now, there is very little fun in
riding twenty-five miles TO Colfax
to meet the School Board, and
have to come back as you went.
The people want schools, and
they want them now. There are
six or seven hupdred dollars on
hand, lying idle, and the people
want the benefit of that fund, and
want it now. There are half a.
dozen petitions for schools now on
file, waiting the action of the
School Board. Some who have
not had a school this year, to-wit:
Big Greek Church school
and Birds school-house, andl
others, who now want the second |
term. Crops are gathered, the
tall is dry and pleasant, aud why
not give them schools ? AS the
Board has not met to give instruc-
ions, l will proceed to let out

The Mass Meeting and Barbecue.


Grant was created, gathering o.
such magnitude never before as.
sembled within its boundaries
There were fully seven Hundred
whites and three hundred colored
present. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed and the speakers received
great applause.
General Francis T. Nichols was
the first to address the multitude.
Wo cannot say that the General is
q great orator; but his auditors
could perceive that the words
which emanated from his lips,
were direct from his heart, and
that they were full of truth. The
General is no politician-the can
dicacy for Governor being forced
upon him by the peoples delegates
to the Baton Rouge Convention
and there is no doubt in onr mind
If General Nichols is placed in
the Gubernatorial chair of Louis
lana, he will make the best Ex-
ecutiye that ever graced it.
Col. E. G. Randolph next intro
duced the Hon. L. A. Wilt, cam
didate for Lieutenant Governor.
This gentleman is q sound rea-
soner, a good speaker, and in
o plain, straightforward manner
conveyed to the most ignorant of
his hearers the things he would
have them to understand. He
was cheered several times, and
the approving mods and laughter
OF the colored portion of his au-
dience showed the telling effect
his words had on them.
Col. John McEnery was the
next speaker to take the stand, and
he made the most statesmanlike
speech we have heard for many a
day. He received q great deal of
applause and sat down mid the,
cheers Of the multitude.
MIR. Ogden, candidate for Attor-
ney General, was the next speaker
introduced. This gentleman did
not make many preliminary re-
marks, but came right down TO
his subjects in a vivacious and
eloquent style. His illustrations
were beautiful and his language !
fiowery, and he delivered himself
IN such a plain and simple way, |
that, although some of his CON-
PARSONS were classical, and he
scared aloft in eloquent oratory,
the simplest colored man present
saw the the beauty and truth of
what he said.
The next speaker was Judge
Spofford, of New Orleans. The
Judge went in pretty strong on
the Kellogg usurpation; spoke at
some length upon our disturbance
in 1878; said that it was Kellogg
and Packard's work, and that.
