KU-KLHY REDIYIYUs.

A reign of terror has been inaugur
rated by Democratic bulldozers in
ouaehita parish, opening with the as
sassination of B. H.. Dinkgrave, Tax
Collector and leading Republican of
the parish, by mysterious horseman,
disguised with false beard, who
came, no one knows whittier, lOafed
about tire neighborhood of his victims
residence several days, accomplished
his murderous design in broad day
light, scarcely half mile from the
town of Monroe, and escaped with d
facility which rivals the experience of
his compatriot of Coushatta. Imme-
diately following this tragedy, or just
before it, a squad of Democratic row.
dies, soaked with whiskey, created a
disturbance at a Republican barbecue,
and armed whites promptly swarmed
to the vicinity, causing the Republic
aus to scatter, many leaving their
homes and taking refuge in the woods.
Periodical reports of "negro upris-
.ingsn have since been made pretense
for the assembling of armed organi-
cations at various points in Ouachita
and Morehouse, and prominent Re-
publicans, who have been active in
organizing their party, have received
notice to leave. OF course there can
he but one object and one result to
these familiar tactics of the Ku.Klux
Democracy: the law abiding Repub-
lican majorities are thoroughly over
awed, aud the Democrats now speak
confidently of carrying parishes in
which they have no earthly hope of
success with a fair election. A small
force of United States troops has been
ordered to Monroe, and perhaps the
back of the new rebellion will be
broken in the Ouachita region before
election day arrives. Its suppression
in all sections of the South is only a
question of time, for the people of
this country are now aroused to a
full sense of its Interior purposes and
the fiendish methods used to accom-
plish them. The time for killing and
prosecuting Republicans is fast fleet
ing, aud the the day of retribution is
close ut hand. A few more victims
may be added to the list, but the hell
ish business must soon stop.

A riot occurred ia Charleston last
week and intense excitement pre-
vailed in the city several days and
nights. The dispatches of the Asso-
ciated Press furnish meagre particu-
lars of the affair, announcing that
"a mob of armed negroes took pos
session of the main street, assaulting
and beating white men. The, city
police succeeded in quelling the dis
tnrbance, after several casualties had
occurred. Only one man is reported
to have been killed. Blacks and
whites remained under arms in diff
ferent parts of the city some time
after the riot, but a consultation be-
tween prominent Republicans and
Democrats resulted in an understand
ing that prevented serious breaches
of the peace. Governor Chamberlain
issued Il proclamation calling npon
the rioters to dispense, which pro-
dueed salutary effect.

The reportof the capture of Alex
inatz by the Turks was premature.
They are besieging it vigorously, but
the Servian forces there and at Deli
grade have made a determined stand,
and have repulsed several Turkish
attacks. If dislodged from these po-
sitions, the insurgents will probably
have no other recourse than to fall
back at once to Belgrade, there to
await defeat by the Turks or tho in
tervention of the great European
powers. The Porte refuses to sus-
pend hostilities until Seryia accepts
his conditions of peace, which inclnde
demolition of the fortresses at Bel
grade and Semendfia, and the reluc-
ton of the Servian standing army to
1000 men. Il d

A shooting affray occurred last
week on Canal street, New Orleans,
in which Hon. Louis j. Souer, mem
Der of the House of Representatives
from Avoyelles parish, and Mr.. II. L.
Smith, Il reporter of the New Orleans
Times, were the principals. Six shots
were fired, four by Souer, two by
Smith. Souer received Il ball in the
leg, and another passed through his
neck in close proximity to the jugular
vein. Smith received three wounds,
two in the leg and the third in the
right hip, the latter being considered
somewhat dangerous. At last accounts
both parties were doing well and their
friends are hopeful of their speedy
recovery. The difficulty originated
from a statement concerning Mr..
Souer published BY Smith, and de-
MED by the former in u public card
couched in very emphatic terms.

ssBassn Tweed, the whilom political
friend and companion OF our great
reform candidate for President, was
capturedlast week at the port OF 'lgo,-
in Spain, having just arrived IN the
merchant vessel Carmen, from Cuba.
The Spanish authorities had received
notice of the approach of the notori-
GUS criminal and promptly made ar
engagements for his arrest. He en-
barked from Santiago de Cuba, IN
company with his cousin, VIM. Hunt.
Capt. General Jovellar was informed
of the fact and transmitted the intel
ligenee to Spain. Tweed will be de-
livered into the custody of the Amer
lean charge dafaires at Madrid, who
has made demand for his extfadi-
ton. New York's illustrious thief
will probably return to the scenes OF
his former triumpls us boss OF the
State Democracy in season to render
woman service in the cause of eth

movements may be limited by the
four walls of penitentiary, but the
influence of his fame and name will
be felt as of yore in the slums of the
empire city, where rogues and thieves,
prize fighters aud eut-throats most
do congregate, aud the glorious ban
ner of "refornl,p borne aioft by the

A tragedy occurred in New Jersey
on the 3lst ultimo which forms a most
revolving epoch in the history of the
brutal and degrading prizering. Two
men named Weeden and Walker, the
former blacksmith about 80 wears
OF age, the latter muscular youth of
10, went from Philadelphia up the
Delaware river, accompanied by II
large crowd of roughs, and had a long
aud desperate prize fight, which cul-
minated at the sixth round
in Walker falling insensibIe upon the
field, his head and face beaten out of
all semblance of humanity. All eff
forts to revive him failed, and he died
shortly after. The surviving princi.
pal, the trainers and nearly all the
parties connected with this revolving
affair have been arrested, and it would
be encouraging to the moral senti-
ment of the country if severe punish
meDt could be meted out to some of
them.

A New Orleans exchange records a
very mean trick played upon several
Republicans WHO crossed the river
from Gretna to attend a mass meet
ing. While they were at the meeting
some good Democrat bored several
holes in their skiff, which had been
drawn on shore. AS the men re-
crossed the river their boat rapidly
filled with water, and they were
barely enabled By vigorous hailing
and tnggiug at the oars to reach the.
bank in safety.

The death of Gen. JEFF Thompson leaves a
vacancy in the Office of State Engineer
which should be filled by citizen of indus
try, energy and good qualifications and edu-
cation. Such Il man is Colonel Owen Ne
Lerhn OF Hahnyille. His appointment would
give general satisfaction.-St Charles Herald.
We second the motion. Colonel
Mack " is truly ga citizen of industry,
energy and good qualifications and
edueation," and every inch an 'engi-
neer. He would fill the position adj
mirably, and we hope Governor Kel-
logg will make out his commission
without unnecessary delay. In going
further for State Engineer the Gov
ernor is liable to fare worse, while the
selection of Colonel McLeran will re-
fleet credit upon the government and
furnish an officer eminently capable,
honest, and untiring in the discharge
of duty.

A singular case of hydrophobia, be-
lieved to have resulted from the vic
TINS imagination, occurred in New
Orleans few days since. Mr.. James
Clark, best known as captain of the
C. L. Howard Boat Club, was bitten
on the finger about IL month ago by q
dog which he was teasing. The wound
was very slight, being scarcely more
than an abrasion of the skin, and
nothing was thought of it by Mr..
AClark's friends. He, however, de-
clared that hydropllobia would result,
and his mind dwelt continually upon
the subject, as shown by his CONVEX
sation. He became morose and dis
pirited, and last week was sent to the
Hotel Dieu for medical treatment.
where he died Monday morning. 1t
is said that another man was subse-
quently bitten by the same dog and
no signs ofhydrnphobia ensue,l. This
strengthens the inpret sion that Mr..
Clark's disease was caused by an
over sensitive and morbid imagina-
ton. Several similar instances are
on record, one of the most noted
of which occurred in Paris a number
of years since. A physician desiring
to test the power of the Imagination,
obtained permission to experiment
upon a convict under sentence of
death. The man was blindfolded and
placed upon a bed, his arm barred
and the back of a knife drawn across
the flesh rs if to sever vein, but in
fact making no incision. Water was
then gently poured upon the arm
where the knife had touched and al
lowed to drip into basin placed on
the floor. Laboring under the hallnci-
nation that blood was rapidly flowing
from his arm, the convict DISPLAYED
signs of suffering and exhaustion,
and soon breathed his last.

Ger. Montgomery Jefferson Thnmp-
son, Chief State Engineer of Louis
lana, died at his former home in St.
Joseph, Mo-, on the 5th inst, after
protracted and painful illness. De-
ceased was born at Harper's Ferry,
Va, in 1926, and spent the greater
portion of his life in Missouri. He
laid ont the Hannibal and St. Joseph
railroad, of which he was chief engi-
neer until elected Mayor of st. Jo-
seph, position he held when the re-
bellion broke out. His war record
is familiar to all. In 1868 he was ap-
pointed Chief Engineer of this State,
and has occupied the position con-
tinuously ever since. In the ener-
getic discharge of his arduous official
duties he exhausted the wonderful
vitality of his physical frame, but the
clear brain and powerful mental or
ganizati0n retained their strength to
the last. A man of strict integrity,
warm heart and generous impulses,
he gained the respect and friendship
of all with whom he came in contact.

Vermont and Maine Elections.
Heavy Republican RIaiorities.
Coming Events CAST Their Shadows
Before"

Before"
The State elections in Vermont and
Maine-in the former State on the
5th inst, in the latter on the 18th
resulted in heavy and increased Re-
publican majorities.
In Vermont the Republican candi-
date for Governor, Fairbanks. re-
ceived a majority of 1912 over his
Democratic opponent, Bingham, the
total vote being about $500. In
1874 the Republican majority was
20,303; a Republican gain of 1929
votes is therefore evident.
In Maine the total vote was about
100, 900 and the majority of Corners,
Republican candidate for Governor, is
IS, 298, gain of lI,424 over that Of
last year, and the largest majority
the Republicans have received in the
State since 1872. The Republican
vote shows an increase of nearly
10000, while that of the Democrats
has fallen off considerably.
Considering the above results, Yer
mont may be safely counted on for
80, 900 majority for Hayes and Wheel
er, while Maine will roll up at least
25, 200.
"Coming events cast their shadows
before" The splendid Republican vic
tories in Vermont aud Maine are fore
runners of those to be achieved in
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana in
October and of the final national
triumph in November.
The fat has gone forth The Re-
publican party will prove victorious
