bullets." He lies buried on the road eide
where he fell His sister, Babe Mathevs
(for the oolored women arc active Repub-
licans) was hanged In the courthouse yard
for participation In the alleged crime. Tho
sheriff and other parish officers were sub.
sequently driven ont Of the parish BY armed
bodies Of the White League aided BY bands
from Missssippi. Since which time .
score Of ooloFed mon have been murdered
and hundreds ef others whipped, until
every vestge Of Republican organisation
was stamped out, and tho colored people
reduced to . state Of terrorized subser-
vieney for which even their former condi-
ton Of slavery affords no parallel.
The few white Rspahlicans left in tho
parish attempted to put . ticket in the Geld
this year, but wore waited upon BY promi-
nent Democrats and informed that no Re-
publican ticket would be permitted. Tho

the pretext that negroes were stealing cot
ION from tho fields ard selling it to the
storekeepers, . dozen Of stores,
where colored people eongregated and ex-
,hapged their political views, were burned,
md in some instances their owners hung.
Bodies of White League cavalry, calling
themselves Regulators, having thus sest-
tered OK destroyed their Leadership, visited
Tho colored people In their cabins and hest

.ceessories. In order to strike . lasti.k

peared in our columns.
