LIEUTENANT COLONEL BROOKE,

The people of the Baton Rouge and
the Feliciana parishes are to be congratu-
lated on the order assigning Lieutenant
Colonel John Il. Brooke, OF the Third In
fantry, to the command Of that district.
Colonel Brooke is soldier and knows
that his highest duty is to preserve peace.
While he is in command peace will be
preserved. He understands well that the
United States does not establish mill
tary post merely for the purpose of afford
ing an officer an opportunity to make
agreeable acquaintance.
The region be is III has been a lawless
one for over year. Not that the majority
of the people are any worse than those of
indianapolis, Atlanta or any other place
of decent habits in the country But the
good people have been cowed down, brow
beaten, insidiously threatened, forced to
silence or worse, the countenancing OF out
RACES, blackmailed and their contribution
made the lever for future extortions, their
tongues muzzled, their hands tied, their
steps logged, their business jeopardized
and themselves living in continual fear OF
offending the "bulldozers. If such p
state of things did not exist fifty Of these
lawless ruffians could not take possession
Of such a place as Baton Rouge. They
may have heen, as the Adc0cdte says,
irresponsible parties from Mississippi.
If SO, so much the worse for the respect
able people who could not muster moral
influence enough to control them.
But change is to come. The mer-
chants of Baton Rouge must know that
such acts prevent their trade and destroy
their credit. They must be stopped or
their ruin will follow. They find profit
in selling Northern clothes, shoes, hats
and farming implements. They have
credit in New Orleans and st. Louis for
plantation stores. They obtain their sup
plies by communication with the agents
of their creditors. But what drummer is
going to 60 to such place! What hrm Is
going to trust concern forced to do
business under such disabilities.
The planters are worse Of than the
traders. Isolated, perhaps, with thel .
families, they have been liable, whenever
they offended a bulldozer, to suffer as
have the Mount Pleasant prop,ietors
The ssbulldozers" know no mercy. They
kill the black proprietor of few acres,
and ravage his place, but they also black
mail the white proprietor. The country
is in worse state than the border Of
Scotland in the time Of the Pretender.

ANONYMOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE

The following characteristic dispatch
was published On Monday morning in
Conservative city paper which sometimes
volunteers its advice to Republican lead
ers:
NEW YORK, June %, 1876.
The members Of the National Republican
Committee here pronounce the reported in
reference OF President Grant with the
nominations in Louisiana as false, aEd the
President has authorized denial OF the
statement They say whoever Is nominated
will receive the aoriya support OF the ns-
tiopal co nmirtte and such support as the
general government can properly give. TIE
interview with Marshal Packard was with
reference to the recent invest CATION of the
collectors and lnarshaPs de sartments and
the Developments made. L..
Before we can accord to this dispatch
any weight on account Of the official
character which the writer evidently seeks
to attribute to it, it will be necessary to
know how many members Of the Ma
tional Republican Committee happened
to be in New York on Sunday, who they
were and what their means Of knowing
that an observation credited to the Pfesi-
dent was never made When certain
prominent Republicans Of Louisiana
waited upon President Grant shortly after
the opening Of the Centennial EXPOSE
ton, on the the tenth of May, they re-
ported that he expressed himself in very
strorc and significant language concern
ing the nomination of a candidate for
Governor of this State. Those who saw
him again, about the twentieth, declare
he repeated his previous declarations with
emphasis. Here we have the positive
affirmative evidence Of entirely cred
ibie witnesses who were present
agains. the alleged opinions of gen
tlemen whose names are not given,
who were not present at either interview.
sent BY an anonymous correspondent,
who does not even allege he saw any of
the gentlemen upon whom he relies to
prove his negative.
We regard the dispatch as entirely
worthless and untrustworthy. 1t does
not in the least shake the positive aud
direct testimony of Messrs. Packard,
George L. Norton, Governor Kellogg and
others who have already stated the facts
which occurred.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
EDUCATION.
PUBLIC

EDITOR RPFrBLICAS:
The most important nomination to be made by
the Republican State Convention which Is to az
semble IL day in city is that for the 0fhce OF
State Super.nte ndent of Public Education. This
is an office III which all parties, races, and ma ion
alities are deeply concerned. The future welfare
aud NJ rpetuity of our republican form OF govern
ment depend upon the proper training an educar
ton of the youth of our land, and matter Of
such vital Importance SHOULD be intrusted to none
but the most worthy. experienced and best quail
fec person, and greater and pains should be
taken in tie selection OF person to be nom mated
for this high and responsible office than f.r any
other in the gift of the people. In casting around
tor man Tor this office it to me that there
is no man in the State better qualified to I'LL it
shan Colonel George s. Sawyer. of Concordia
parish. Colonel Sawyer is an Old citizen OF this
State, is graduate of Dartmouth College, II the
State of New Hampshire. He spent several OF his
early years in the business Of school teaching; he
under stands thoroughly the duties and response
b;lities of teachers. He is an able and thorough
lawyer, having been regular practitioner al the
Louisiana bar for more than twenty tive years,
gentleman Of unblemished moral character, and,
though man well qualified to fill any office III the
gift of the peoI le he has seldom al owed his name
to go before them for any office. Such man
would fill the office to the general satisfaction OF
the people and with credit to himself. He is just
such a man as the people need. The convention
can not do bet than to nominate him Tor the
tt.ice OF State Superintendent of Public Educa
ton His nomination should be equivalt Mt TO an
election.

The credit of the State, and to a great
extent private credit, will depend upon
the character Of the nominees OF the Re-
publican convention to-day. We must
have no standard bearer attainted with

or whose election would revive the fight
to LIGHTNING the State bonds which the
courts have declared void. We must not
choose men whose names are synonymous
with reckless expenditures and high taxa
ton over the heads Of those whose efforts
have stea1i' been directed to the reduc-
ton of the rublic burdens. We do not
believe there is danger Of such selections
being made, but we give timely caution to
delegates who may not have pondered the
matter, that values will depreciate and
business enterprise be severely checked II
the hungry boys" class are not sternly
remanded to the rear. Give to the Re

honestly and earnestly support and de-
tend, and they will assured]y elect 1t;
otherwise We care not to prophesy the re-

Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey has completed q
new work for the press, called "Panols; A
tale of the Attakapas," which is in the
nature of philosophical! essay developed
through the plot of an imaginative story.
Its purpose is an chronological study Of the
different races-and the effects of their
union-which compose the early population
Of this State, including the French and
Indian, French and African, Creole and
French and Greek. The scholarly attain
ments of Mrs. Dorsey guarantee an inter-
esting volume on the theme she has chosen.

who killed the conservative negro were
lynched without trial Their executioners
are excused on the ground that their op-
ponents were s'colored thieves" Without
attempting to apologize for or approve
the conduct of the offenders in the first
instance, we insist that the reason
alleged for the subsequent murders is in
sufficient as plea in justification. This,
simply, is our position. Does the Times
discover in it any thing like an apology
for or approval of outrage of any kind?

For the benefit of Democrats who have been
living about it, it should be stated that Gov
ernor Hayes was not a member OF the Con-
gress which passed the back pay act. He
was elected in 1864. in 1866, and again In
1869. An Alabama Hays in Congress was
a back pay man. Try something else.
Salary grabbing was too popular with the
Democrats to say much about, any way.
