KELLOGGS OUTRAGE UPON THE PEG
PIE OF LIVINGSTON PARISH.

A week ago usurper Kellogg boiled
over with Indignation, because the
people Of Baton Rouge requested the
| resignation of certain obnoxious Off
Gals. He took the occasion to write a
hypocritical letter to District Attorney
Read, urging that officer to see that the
laws were enforced. About the same
time, as an evidence of his respect for
the law, he removed three police jurors,
honest, honorable and faithful gentle
men, who had been elected by the
people of Livingston parish at the gen.
eral election in 1874, and whose terms of
service will not expire until after the
next November election. This he did,
it is asserted, at the instance Of Thomas
explained in the annexed article, which
we take from that outspoken journal,
the Port Vincent Iriune. The utter
contempt which these creatures Of
lawless usurpation constantly exhibit
for the law, and for the rights of the
people, is marvellous. There is, and
there can be no peace or prosperity in
Louisiana until such work is stopped.
We rejoice in the knowledge that the
people have the ability to drive usurp-
ers from place and power, and that they
intend this fall, at all hazards, to do 50.
We know of no greater outrage, than
that perpetrated by Kellogg, at the in
stance Of the tricksters named by the
Tri,uae, upon the good people of Living
ston. We hope that the elected police
jurors will resist and expose this infamy,
but with usurpers for judge and prose-
cutting attorney, specially put in office
over the people, and against their ex-
pressed will at the ballot-box, there
would seem to be small hope Of success.
Nevertheless, as the people elected
them, it is their duty never to give up.
Let the people Of Livingston organize
thoroughly for the coming election,
and show the usurpers that there is
nothing SO terrible to wrongdoers as the
wrath Of an outraged and long suffering
people. CLOSE ORGANIZATION, gentle
men, is the word.
Says our Port Vincent contemporary:
The tribunal composed of Kellogg, Herwig
and that Old Line Democrat, Tom Green David
son. has again met in solemn session. The lit
tie bald headed Senator was not pleased at the
array of Democratic officers IN Livingston par
ish. Tom Green ID. never was; and with the op-
perfume assistance of some $4,000. and the hope
Of dividing the emoluments and honors pertain
ing to seats in Congress and the Senate these
two staunch political veterans have prevailed on
the de facto to change our stubborn parish off,
Gals, and TO replace them by others who rW
bow the knee to the "od war horse.h
Hence, Hunstock, Covers, Watts and Landry
with their commissions in their pockets, can
step down and out" while Rounds. Simpson
and Hess, can envelope themselves in tho
nantes of the defunct police jurors.
Livingston Is large parish, and with parish
certificates at a valuation of fifteen cents on the

Steve LeBourgeois. recently appointed Tax
Collector by the grace of Kellogg has been re-
moved, and appointed Recorder, in place of
Mathew Cooper. $. d. Simms is Tax Collector
and as matter of course. Tom Green runs the
whole machine. and it is expected that the

first freight-en route for Springfield

This is a case wherein the people are interested
where intrigue will not be countenanced; and |
you are second to none in that mode /
