From the Feliciana Ledger, November IL:
Captain T. C. West, resident Of this
parish and the Democratic nominee for
sheriff, was shot and killed on the night Of
the sixth instant. 1t is reported that he
and his company were OUT on bulldozisg
expedition, around Tom Rice's place, and
that they had surrounded Rice's house
when some unknown hand fred the fatal
shot. The same night Rice's house was 90.
on fire and all his bed clothes ana furniture
burned; the house being built of heavy tim
DER would not burn. As there are two or
three parties arrested and charged with the
oftense. We refrain from saying more on this
subject in this issue. This was indeed q
sad occurrence.

Democratic Bluster.

The Indianapolis journal says:
We are informed that Mr.. James B. Ryan,
in speech last evening, said that he had
telegraphed to the Democratic State Cen.
tral Committee of Louisiana that there
were q half million men in the North
who would stand by them (the Lou
isisna Democrats) in their eff,rt to
force majority for Tilden and Hen
bricks, if the official declaration should
give the vote of the State to Hayes and
Wheeler. This is about the gist and mean
ing of the speech. Mr.. Ryan's bluster and
vaporing amount to puff of breath, and
that is all. The vote of Louisiana will be
accepted as the legal returning officers
show it, whether it be for Hayes
or Tilden. The Southern rebels heard
about that hslfmillion" men in
1861. They will not rely upon
Northern Democratic doughfaces now.
They know how valiant they are in peace
and how cowardly in war. Making faces
at great nation may be pleasant psstime
for such ardent patriots as James B. Ryan,
but it don't throw the nation into cOnvul-
sions to any alarming extent.

The sober sense of the people has tri
umphed after all. Twenty -one States hav,
been carried by the Republicans, and thei
1856 electoral votes will make Rutberf0r(
B. Hayes the next President of the United
States. The victory is one of the Creates
moment to the country, and will be the 90
casion of very sincere thankfulness among
the majority of the intelligent and law
abiding portion Of the American people
struggle should not blind MS to the peril0ue
nearness with which the Republican party
has approached defeat. The contest comes
80 close to Q drawn battle as to leave but
little room for jubilation. The country
has neither accepted the Republican candi.
dates with pronounced enthusiasm nor re.
jected the Democrats with decision. After
making all deductions on the score of
intimidation and sectional feeling, after
eliminating, in tact, the action of the South
from the moral aspect of the contest alto
very decided change of sentiment among
Northern voters in regard to the degree Of
trust to be accorded to the promises of the
Republican party. The election of Tuesday
did not mark the close of the Republican
party's long epoch of power. But it did
place the condition Of that power on Q new
basis, and it did accompany the renewed
trust with an 0mph8tlc lntlmatlOn that 1t
must be more faithfully discharged in the
future than it has been in the near past.
Had the power heretofore intrusted to the
party been wisely used, had its exercise
been uniformly delegated to honest and
able men, neither the shotgun policy, nor
the corruption of the franchise could have
reduced the party to the narrow victory of
Tuesday. The leeson OF the election will be
thrown away if it be not accepted, in part,
at least, a. rebuke to the eel6shness and
the greed which have been allowed to dis
grace the Republican name; and if it be not
used as Q means Of purifying the party from
influences which have tarnished it's record,
and blurred in public memory the
impression of it's great services and
noble aspirations. The party has .
career before it greater than even the one
which lies behind it. But tho camp fol-
lowers who have stuck to the Republican
party for the sake of the spoils they could
secure must be got rid of. The leaders who
have abused the confidence of the party,
by substituting the pursuit of selfish am
bition for devotion to it's principles must be
deposed. Purified and strengthened, the
party will be prepared to discharge the
great and responsible duties which the peo-
pie have again intrusted to it with single
ness and integrity of purpose which will
prove that it has not fallen away from the
ideal of its founders.-NeO York Times.

in the present crisis, elected from that gen.
tleman the following response:
LOWELL, Mass, November l3, 1876.
To J. 3. g. Pitkin, United Marshal, New Orleans
don't believe Northern men ought to go
down and interfere in the affairs at Louis

of the law. and there is continuous flap
ming Of wings and screeching for the
rights of justice, until the deafened and
badgered jury cry mot guilty" to stop
the racket and regain their breath.
These things would be farcical were
they not tragic and barbarous. So far
from the rights of life, liberty and prop
erty being preserved intact, they are vio-
lated every day, and we find that the
State has not the physical power to pun
ish the offenders, and the United States
has forgotten to provide for enforcing the
fifth article.
1t is now proposed to amend the judi
ciary act in such a manner as to give effect
to that amendment. A community has
no more right to commit or abet crime
than an individual, and the mandates of
the constitution are directed to every
body-the people of the States, and to
to the States themselves. The declara-
tons that the right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses, pa
pers and effects, and no one shall be
deprived Of life and property without due
process of law, apply to unauthorized
disturbers of the rights of others,
whether they be clothed in official garb or
merely private ruffians. The government
has generally called its own officers to
account when they exceed their powers,
but has not as yet reached out the hand
of authority to check the untitled offender.
A law giving the United States jurisdic-
ton of all offenses against the mandates
of the constitution Of the United States
has been suggested, which, if passed,
will check the country raiders and wild
and turbulent ruffians who infest some
parts of the country. We hope such a
measure will be passed. 1t will be good
thing if it happens to be wanted, and if
not, will do no harm to any one.

SYMPATHETIC.

The Democratic papers generally are
extending their sympathies and condo
lences to Mr.. Blaine because he is unable
to look at some things through the eyes
of others. The gentleman from Maine is
supposed to reflect the sentiments of his
constituents, to whom alone he is respon-
sible, and not those of the enemies to his
party. We believe the less Democracy has
to say about Mr.. Blaine and his position
on amnesty, the better it viii be for those
upon whom Mr.. Randall is SO anxious to
confer an honor.

A PROSPECTIVE BONE OF CONTENTION.

A PROSPECTIVE BONE OF CONTENTION.
Some Republican statesmen have con-
ceived the idea that the clause in the fifth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States applies as we'll to the VIC
Tins of mobs and private vengeance as to
persons and things in the custody of the
criminal and civil courts. s'No person
shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop
erty without due process Of law" This
provision is violated every day in one part
of the country or the other. The victims
of Grant parish did not enjoy the benefits
of process of law, though their shyers
have appealed to its protection, and with
reasonable prospects Of success. It is
claimed that no punishment has been pro-
vided by the United States laws for those
who are too powerful or adroit to be called
to account by the State authorities.
The guarantee Of the fifth article, then,
only operates to restrain the officers
Of justice from punishing criminals, ex-
cept after the most regular proceedings.
A whole community may be harried by
midnight raiders, stores and ginhouses
may be burned, and quiet people shot
down on their own doorsteps without due
process of law; John Gair may be taken
from the hands of the sheriff and shot
full of bullets on the charge Of aiding and
abetting an attempt to commit murder,
and poor girl hanged for crime less
than capital and justice dts quietly szairk-
ing On her perch, without rudied feather.

THE CALL FOB A NATIONAL CONVENTION.

WV
A call for national Republican con-
vention has been issued by the sub-com-
mittee to which the matter had been re-
ferred. The place designated is Cincin-
natl, and the time May 16.
The call is addressed to all Republican
and other voters, without regard to past
differences or previous party affiliations,
to take part in the election of delegates.
This seems to us, at first blush, to be the
language of new third party, which ex-
poets to receive strength and assistance in
the coming struggle from both the great
parties into which the country is divided.
But as the paper has been carefully con-
sidered by the wise heads Of the national
party, we may presume it is en- regle. The
recommendations which ensue, Of the OBJ
iects to be achieved, follow the reconstruc-
ton laws closely, so far as the conserva-
ton of individual rights are concerned,
and then include the no less important
matters of economical government the
punishment of official dishonesty, and
UNFOLDING the national credit and sustain
ing the national faith. There is enough
in this proposed plan of action to enlist
the services of all Republicans who hold
the principles of their party to be para
mount to private interests.
