A Plain Story From .One Of the Bull.
deZed Parishes.

No one will accuse H. V. Redfield,
the talented correspondent ofthe Gin
cinnati Commercial, of coloring any
thing against the Democrats Of the
South. In the beginning his sympa-
thies were rather with them. The fol-
lowing extract from ore of his letters
will show something of the testimony
that has changed his feeling:
Yesterday heard gentleman from
one of the bulldoZed parishes giving
in his experience. The manner Ofthe
man. as we'll as the circumstances of
the case, convinced me of the truth of
his statements. l withhold his name
and his parish. simply because he has
large property interests there, and al
though he Gays he never will return
TO reside. his property is yet there, and
the publication of his observations ac-
oompanied by name and residence,
might injure his property interested.
But / am convinced Ofthe truth of his
story because of the manner of the
man and corroborative evidence
which has come to my knowledge.
This gentleman was Union soldier
from the West, and settled upon a
large plantation In North Louisiana
Immediately after the war. He took
no part in politics except to vote the
Republican ticket and hold the office
of Justice of the Peace. His business
was that of planter. His height bors,
although Southern men, upon all sides
were kind and hospitable. He bad no
trouble until the present campaign
opened. But with the attempt to
conquer the parish according to the
Mississippi plan. came outrages, and
dangers, and bloodshed. The "bull-
doZers" rode through the plantation
nightly, and fired into the cabins of
his laborers. For two months previous
to election his hands had to sleep in
the woods. Much of his cotton yet
remains Ia the field unpicked. Since
August he has not had a light in the
house at night. The armed bulldozers
rode by at all times, firing right and
left. and he feared assassination. One
night, at the solicitation of his family,
he remained in the woods himself.
All law was overthrown. -Four OF
Ave negroes were brutally murdered in
different parts of the parish, with a
view to strike terror into the rest, and
frighten them into the support of the
Democratic ticket.
He Gays the election at his polling
place was a farce. 1t was perfectly
quiet and peaceable, and the blacks,
all the manhood terrified out of them
mournfully voted the ticket they
hated. Just one Republican vote was
cast at his precinct, and that by him.
self. Before the election arrived men
would come to his house-strangers
to him-look all around, ask myster-
ious questions, fire int the air, and
frighten his hands from their work.
His immediate neighboFs took no part
in this, but it was all the work of men
from remote quarters of the parish,
done under a systematic plan to carry
the election. Indeed, some of his
neishbors privately denounced the
plan but they were whipped in'o line
and dared not openly protest.

A CALL FOB WITNESSES.

The reports about the Monroe speech
OF Colonel McEnery have thrown thu
Conservative press into great trepidation,
and there is resort to the usual tactics Of
denial Not one Of them would believe i,
possible that the gentleman accused
would make violent speech. The Dem.
ocrat thought to dispose of the whole
matter in single snap when it gave us
the following:
To cover up the whole case, however, the
Democrat published yesterday the state.
ment OF q witness residing in Monroe, dis
proving the principal allegations of the So
called report.
1t never occurred to any OF our contem-
poraries to cite as witnesses several we'll
known gentlemen whom every body knew
to be present on the platform. and who
would scorn to prevaricate about matter
to which there were more than thousand
Witnesses One of these witnesses, Gen.
eral Nichols, has been called by the Re-
publican campaign committee, and if
either party is not satisfied with his testi-
mony. there were plenty of others on the
stand to either corroborate or contradict.
1t is to be remarked that no authorita-
tive denial of Mr.. Bourges' report has
been made by Mr.. McEnery. 1t is true
the Times, on Monday morning, declared
it had been authorized to contradict it,
but we suspect our over-zealous contem-
porary misunderstood the purport Of it's
instructions. Mr.. McEnery assured us
that the charges contained in letter
from Delta were false, and we instantly
published his declaration. We presume
this is all he authorized the Times to deny
in his behalf. Instead of doing this,
however, it treated alone of the contents
of Mr.. Bourges' report, and thus put Mr..
McEnery at direct issue in matter which
we very much doubt it was his intention
to dispute.
The campaign committee has thus
placed General Nichols in very unfor-
tunate position. He is virtually called
upon to say whether he did not sit and
hear leading member of his party pub
licly advocate the assassination of Mr..
Packard without making public protest
against such language. There are great
many witnesses ready to be called, in case
there be positive denial of Mr.. Bourges'
charge.
