New ORLEANS, Aug. 20-Col. G. W. Nc
Cranie, Of the Quachita Telegraph sends
the following to the Associated Press:
MONROE, La, Aug. 29,EThis city and
vicinity Is greatly excited because Of fir
ing last night into the residence Of David
Faulk and Isaiah Garrett, and an attempt
to kill Lamy Faulk, planters, living on
the river below here. Mrs. Faulk has
been dangerously i'll for some weeks. Her
bedroom was the target.of the assaSsins.
Mr.. CARROTS house received about 70
bullets. Mr.. Faulk saw two men, both
colored, enter his gate. They exploded
two caps, aiming at him, and went on.
Several white families in that vicinity
have come here for safety, and appeals
have been made to the voluntee company
here for assistance. No cause can be
imagined for the outrage, which has
thrown the whole parish into intense ex-
citement and spread terror among the
whites OF this section, where the great
est quiet and security has hitherto
prevailed. It is thought that this trouble
is sequence OF disturbance occurring
last Saturday at Republican barbecue,
when eight or ten white persons, present
by invitation, were rudely treated by the
negroes, their lives threatened, and forced
to leave the grounds to pacify the infuri:
ated blacks, who drew revolvers and
otherwise exhibited the ferocity OF des.
peradoes. Fortunately the firing at the
houses did no serious damage, although a
shot in one case entered a bedroom. Steps
have been taken to preserve the peace,
and to prevent a recurrence OF similar

clothing which covers his famishing
children.
II has covered up the frauds and pecu.
lations Of public officials; has defended
their Preparations; rewarded them with
tokens OF favor, and sheltered them from
the legitimate consequences OF their
crimes.
Il has, by discriminating legislation
and heavy taxes, driven many Of our best
citizens 10 seek new homes in the far
West.
II has destroyed local self.goyernment,
concentrated power in the hands Of
cliques at the court houses, and has so
arranged for the collection and diSburse-
ment OF county moneys as TO greatly in
convenience the holders Of claims, and to
foster at the county seats class OF money
changers, shavers and sharpers.
II has with wasteful extravaganza ap-
propriated money for bogus railroads,
boom companies, and the like, with unu-
sual privileges, for the exclusive benefit
OF bankrupt corporations.
We therefore demand such amendments
to the Constitution as will relieve it
from odinm, incongruities, and absurdi-
, tieS.
The occasion which once existed for test
oaths having passed away, we declare our
selves opposed to their restoration, not
withstanding the charges Of our oppo-
nents to the contrary.
The general depression OF values and
industries being such as TO make the
present rate OF State taxation BURDEN
some, we pledge Ourselves TO reduction
OF the amount OF taxation for general
State purposes.
We demand the abolition Of the county
court; the restoration Of townships and
local self.government; the exclusion oil
everything Of sectarian or partisan
character from our schools. .......s a..
We demand the selection, to places ot
public positions, Of men who are capable,
honest, and sober, and the prompt and
vigorous punishment Of all public men
guilty Of fraud, peculation, or official mis-
conduct. .z.. ...,..,s.,,,,
We demand the enactment of a Just
homestead law.
We endorse the principles Of the plat
form OF the National Republican Con-
vention, and we pledge to its nominees
our cordial and undivided support, recog:
nizing in the selection Of Hayes and
Wheeler an endorsement Of the record OF
patriotism, integrity, and true worth.
which has been written on every page OF
their history. In their nomination as
candidates for the position OF President
and Vice President, we see the exaltation
Of real merit, and accord 10 them the
character Of devoted patriots, and not

An omission IN our remarks yesterday
abou, the sudden increase in the Demo-
cratic vote Of PeasC township in 1875
rendered Our reference to the fact rather
unintclligibIe. The Democratic vote Of
Pene in 1873 was 500, in 1874 it was 329,
and in 1875 it was 900. This increase Of
nearly 100 per cent in one year is nnpre-
cedented in the history of the township,
lud We do not remember that it has ever
been explained. Had the Republican
vote fallen olrmaterially, that fact would,
oiitself, have been an explanation, but it
did not fall of. On the contrary, it
showed handsome 'ihcrease, viz: from
$50 in 1874 up to 7S7 in 1875.
AIlthe mischief that was done in Bel
mont county last fall to the Republican
ticket was done in Pease township, as the
following table will show. The vote of
the different townships in 1873, 1874 and
1875 stands as follows:

that she would not do, as they contained
slanderous statements against ladies in

he should probe the matter to the bottom,
