When the dispatches above al
luded to were sert Nov. 3 to CAL
casieu, [ was on the Mermentau
river, at Mr.. Hiram Andrus' resi-
dence, and did not arrive in Ope-
lousas until Sunday, the 9Th. I
knew nothing whatever of the
manifest conspiracy here to injure
me in Calcasieu until it was too
late to communicate with that
parish, and [ am constrained to
notice it through the press. They
are in my Judgment base and COW
ardly forgeries, and were SO framed
as to produce the belief that I or
my friends cOncOcted them, and so
timed as to place it utterly out of
my power to coupteract any in
furious suspicion they were de-
signed to create before the eLec-
ton. So far as I am concerned, I
have only to say that I knew
nothing whatever about any of
these dispatches until informed of
it on the 9th Of November by DR..
". A. Robertson. I have had no
connection, directly or Indirectly,
with this or any other such infa-
nous trickery, and I believe that
my friends 10 this parish are men
of too much hoDor and truth to
resort to such INSCRIPTIONS modes
of electioneering.
The author or authors of these
forgeries is no friend of mine, but
an enemy who hides himself to
escape the punishment he merits
and would surely receive, should
he show himself. Time may vet
reveal the author, and when that is
known [ am confident the evil
done me by these forgeries will
react upon my enemies.

To the Public.

From the Opelousas Courier.
On my return from a canvass OF
the Northern portion of the parish
| found my name banded about in
a dispatch from Lake Charles,
Calcasieu, dated November 4th,
1876, and in the form of q printed
circular. The dispatch is addressed
to George W. Hudspeth, and is
signed by J. G. Gray, W. H. Kirk
man and Thad. Mayo. 1t states
that Mr.. Allen Perkins had re-
ceived a letter signed with the
names of Littell, Estorge, Bailey
and Robertson, pronouncing Hud-
speth and Perrodin radicals. I
also received, by Wednesdays
mail, a letter from George II.
Wells Of the 9th inst, enclosing
copies of a dispatch received by
him and signed with my name,
and one received by Thad Mayo
and signed with the name of his
brother, CIaudius Mayo, both
stating that T. g. Anderson had
been Killed and Hudspeth wound
ed by Capt. M. G. May.
The letter aud two dispatches
are undoubtedly the coinage of
one and the same brain, and are
torgeries of the basest and most
infamous description. They were
all skilfully arranged and sent so
that the contradiction should come
just in time to react with terrible
effect in Calcasieu and in this par
ish on the candidature of Il. r.
Lewis.
Mr. Wells informs rue in his let

ter that the impression is current
at Lake Charles that Anderson's
death was reported by these dis
patches for the purpose of using

" in Anderson's interest as q means
of getting rid of the heavy demo-

forgeries if it can be done by any

AN Ex-ATTORNEY GENERAL s OPINION
OF BAYONET RULE IN THE SOUTH.

The Hon. Henry StanOerry,
of Cincinnati, an ex-Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, has
written an able constitutional
argument upon the South Carolina
case, condemning Grants use OF
Federal troops in the State.
Among other things, he said
"In all our political history,
from the beginning down to the
Centennial year, I cannot call to
mind any armed Intervention by
the Federal Government, based
upon a proclamation and the
military orders in question, except
to put down an insu:rection. The
uprising of the people Of Rhode
Island to overthrow the govern
ment of that State and change its
constitution by force OF arms,
commonly called the Dorr REBEL
lion, was Of that character. There
has been n great deal Of domestic
violence in many of the States ;
unlawful combinations to violate
the rights of its citizens, and sub-
stitute Lynch law in place of the
lawful authority, and vigilance
committees in plaee of the regular
State officials ; and all these have
been wisely left to be dealt with
by the local authority.
"Our people have a traditional
dread of military interference.
They prefer that their political
contests and their individual rights
shall be kept sacred from the
military power, Imperfect as the
civil law and local power of a State
may be in giving them due pro-
lection, they will never consent to
CONS under the power of the mill
tary, except in those extreme cases
where force must be opposed by
superior force to preserve the
State. IN. O. Democrat.

There is a gentleman in this city
who has acquired the habit Of
going to q fruit stand, and after
pricing the melons, ETC., aud eating
up about five cents worth of pea
nuts, objects to the price. and
does not buy.
Yesterday the fruit man made
up his mind to sell him something,
anyhow.
How much are these melons p"
inquired the peanut fend.
Five cents apiece"
Can I pick my melon ?"
Take the biggest you can find"
Let me plug'em to find a ripe
one?"
Here's a knife splitter wide

Don'tyou THROWN q banana?"
Always"
Whew! If I had any way to
get the melon home I believe Id
invest"
Just say the word, and I'll
send you both home in a new
hack, and give you ninety days to
pay for the melon"
" Melons are going to be
cheaper after awhile, but if the
chrome suits I'll take the melon.
No collie in it, is there ? Let me
see the chrome"
" What chrome?
" Why, you ought to be able to
throw in u chrome, if.you mean
business. I always get q chrome
for a cash transaction like that.
Sorry can't trade" And he picked
up a handful OF peanuts, and

Who are R.esnonsihla3

Who is responsible for such talk of civil
war as goes on in some Of the newspapers
A Republican in every instance. 1t was
Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Com
nserciat, and Republicans of his school
that started the cry of civil war, if Tilden
should be elected. 1t is only this class Of
Republican partisans that have kept it up
since. And now it is announced from
Washington that President Grant is con-
centrating troops there, with the grim de-
termination of seeing that ''the legally
| elected president" is inaugurated. These
warlike preparations are an insult to a
peaceful people. Where has the slightest
intention of violence or armed resistance to
the Inauguration of Gov. Hayes been
announced, even if he should be finally
counted in1 Has there been single
threat from long suffering people? Has
there been single demonstration that
promised violence? Not one,-the calm
and moderate bearing of the Democratic
masses, in the very presence of threaten
ed military unsurpation of the government
by party that has been defeated at the polls
is one of the most remarkable incidents Of
a remarkable struggle. They have evirced
more judicious reserve, greater forbearance,
and greater fortitude, than any other
known people in a contingency at all
similar. Even in the south, where the
crime of counting in Gov. Hayes seems
about to be committed, there is no violence,
no bitter and angry talk, no preparations
for resistance. The people are bidine
their time. The Memphis Appeal says:
The united prayer of the southern peo-
people is May God save the union, and
give peace to the country They propose
no resistance to any infamy enacted by the
usurpers.' Even Blaine bears testimony
to this noble bearing of the Democratic
masses, He said, too, that Gov. Hayes
and Gov. Tilden had both exhibited re-
markable prudence and propriety during
these last eyentful days, and to their bear
ing he thought was due, in great part, the
cessation of public excitement on the Dues
tion." Public excitement has declined, but
it was only because the Democratic party
determined to resort to no measures Of re-
dress that are not strictly lawful. Peace is
due to the action of the Democratic party,
for that is the aggrieved party to this con-
troversy. The Republicans have 20 excuse
for violence. 1t is their candidate who is
to be counted IN; the Democratic candidate
ls,in all probability,to be counted out, and in
view of this hideous possibility, the
bearing of the Democratic masses is simply
sublime.
Now, in view of these facts, what excuse
has President Grant for massing troops at
In the face of this condition
Of things, his action is an affront to all civil
authority. 1t justly subjects him to the
suspicion of intending to inaugurate a
who has not been.legaly elected,
and even of intending to give himself, by
force of arms, the.third term, which the
people have denied him.

For Illinois Speaker.

1t is quite probable that the Republicans
will have small majority in the Illinois
house of representatives. The senate il
surely against them and probably by g
majority large enough to defeat Logan
and elect some good, able Independent
man for .. s. senator.
The Union's Moline editor suggests Hon
j. L. Browning of that city, one of the
Republican representatives from this dis.
district, for speaker. We know of 20 Re-
publican that we would prefer for speaker.
Mr.. Browning is good lawyer, a man Of
high and unimpeachable character, and Of
calm, collected and perfectly cool manners,
he looks and acts more like Gen. Hender-
son than any man we know, and there is
no doubt whatever that he would make a
really able and acceptable speaker. We
think bis political opponents would receive
perfectly fair and impartial treatment
from him, and if we are to have Repub-
lican speaker, he would, in our opinion, be
as acceptable to the Democrats as any
member of the house, of that party.

How President Tide Feels.

From the Richmond WHO, Mon. 20
President-elect Tilden, in our recent in:
tervlew with him, impressed US with his
great good sense, his perfect faith in the
final triumph of the right, his confidence
in the honesty and patriotism of the great
body of the people-Democrats and Re
pubhcans-who, he says, will ever rally to
the union when it is in real danger, and
most favorably with bis quiet and perfect
command over himself, and his evident
sincere devotion to bis country and the
best interests of its whole people We had
great respect for and confidence in our
candidate We have yet higher admira-
ton for our president elect. In our con-
versation with him he was not only in fine
spirits as to the future, laughing at the
idea that the men of character in the Re
publican party at the north would counte-
nance the efforts of the Radical leaders to
count the electoral votes of three states for
the minority candidate under the pretense
of fraud, when the elections in all three
states were conducted under Radical
auspices, they having all the commissioners
of election and the possession of the polls;
surrounded, too, as they were, by the mil
itary where they desired it. 1T will all
come right, said the calm and confident
president-elect. Our people may run to
extremes for time, in moments of excite
ment, but they are always right in the end,
and you may rest assured they will never
sustain any such attempt as is now being
made by lawless men to destroy the re-
public.

A Fine Tmprovement..--Corn of 18th
Street and Fourth Avenue,

One of the largest and most attractive
buildings erected in this city during the
past season is that on the corner of Fourth
avenue and 10th street, the property Of
Mr.. B. Streckfus, one ofsour most sub
stantial citizens. The building is three
stories high and a fine basement; is OF
brick, and 40x60 feet in size The base
ment has been fitted up in nice rooms for
shops, BARRIERS rooms, ETC. The first floor
has two fine store rooms. Mr.. Streckfus
will occupy the west one as grocery
story, and the east room is used by Avis
Sem as saloon, Mr.. Sem has also rented
the second floor for boarding house. The
third floor, (which consists of large hall,
with two ante-rooms,) is leased Mr.. j. T.
Schoor, for a dancing hall. The building
is fitted up with all modern conveniences.
The stone work was done by Julius
Strahle; the brick work by Peter Farrell;
the carpenter work by Fred Koch; the
plastering by Patrick MulIigan; the paint
ing by Hans Rube; the gas and water
pipes by Thomas Yates; the slate roofing
by Hewitt & Hipwell; the galvanized iron
cornice by Spencer & Noftsker, all of
which was done in workmanlike manner.
The cost Of the building was about IS, 900.
Not only Mr.. Streckfus, but the citizens
generally. may well feel proud of it, as il
not only adds to our fast increasing bust
ness facilities, but is also an architectural
attraction to the city.

are now absent from the city. Mrs Gun
bingham is also married; her husband is
IN Fort Madison, and she has six children,
five OF whom are with her at their house on
Fourth Av., while the oldest, young wom-
an about II years of age, works out. The
mother has become addicted to drinking
liquor, and herself and family have been
supported for some time by Sup'r Aster
She has been in the habit of leaving her
children in her house all night and going
to the house of ingalls, and remaining with
him.
At two o'clock this afternoon they we're
taken out of Jail and brought before Magis-
trate Chopper. The complaint was under
the state law and charged them with lewd
and disorderly conduct. They both plead
guilty, and Mrs. Cunningham was fined
500 and costs, and Ingalls, $50 and costs.
Neither had any money, and they were
taken back to jail
Sup'r Aster has taken charge of the
youngest children and will take them to
the poor house, on Monday, if he cannot
find some suitable place for them to re-
main here.
1t is said that the husband of Mrs. G.
sent her $40 short time ago to enable her
to come to him but instead of going she
gave the money to Ingalls,.
