MYERS and VAN DUSEN are the
fit companions Of these worthy ~
negroes. They are notorious. Their
names can be found emblazoued on
the criminal docket of this parish.
They fled. from justice four months since,
and Myers still remains away fearful
of arrest and trial, but Ills companion
Van Dusen comes back to be elected
with him a delegate to the State Con-
rention Of Radical reformers.
Such, Mr.. Editor, is the start toward
good government the Republicans Of
Natchitoches parish make on their
march to reform in this our Centen
NAL year, aud that start satisfies every
honest man of the ont come.
l would beg to ask the good city,
ems Of Natchitochcs if they intend to
submit to the rule of such men as
these thieves represent : And l await
with painful anxiety their answer.
Yours,
