STATE NEWS.
ST. JAMES.

. From the Sentinel, May l3:
A report from the Vacherie reaches US to
the effect that on Wednesday Of last week.
Mr.. r. Celestin, at the head of several
other Iawless persons, proceeded to the
residence of Mr.. More Alexis, where a
prayer meeting vas being held, ard threat
ened to kill Mr BreneN, the preacher. No
reason can be assigned for This breach of
the peace, except that Mr.. Brenelrs ideas
of religion do no suit his enemies.
Last Saturday night. while the colored
bali was progressing favOrably at Mire,e
Hall, above Whitehall point, in this parish,
a man named Henry Patterson got to rip
ping around and hunting for some one to
carve, when a violin player named Willis
Bell, hearing Patterson's invitations to NOR
tal combat, went out upon the gallery and
presented himself as the IN an ready to be
operated upon. Without waiting for sec-
ond invitation, the desperate and whisky
crazed Patterson drew a gimblet knife,
rushed upon Bell and stabbed him in the
left side 10 tho depth of four or five inches,
inf]icting a wound which will, in all proba-
bility, prove fatal. The guilty man has
been arrested, and now lies in jail awaiting
trial
On Saturday evening, the sixth instant,
Mr.. Louis Monchal, native Of the little
village of Monteil, Puy-de-Dome, France,
was suddenly killed in the following man
ner: He was engaged in carting some hay
and was leading the horse by the head
when the bride came off. the animal be-
came restless and started to run away.
Monchal endeavored to stop him by seiz-
ing hold of his name. He soon lost
his hold, and while striving to regain it,
euissed his grasp and fell under the cart,
one of the heavy wheels passing over his
head, crushing the skull and killing him al
most instantly. Louis was about thirty
years OF age, and had been seven years IN
this country, the whole Of which time was
spent in the service OF the Marist Fathers at
jefferson College. Though but servant
and not a lay brother, as many thought-he
was most devoted to their interests, and
enjoy ed their confidence and esteem HIS
principal occupation was that OF carpen
: ter, although he could turn his hand to al.
most any kind of work. He was much be.
loved and respected by all the fathers and
pupils at the college. HIS funeral took
place on Sunday morning at st. MichaePs
cemetery, and was attended by several
fathers and a deputation Of the pupils: We
are indebted to the kindness OF Father
Bigot for the above particulars.

Outside of the personal interest which
Louisiana Republicans must take IN the

as Conkling has proved himself to be, there
| is much in this whole affair which is OF spe
cial Importance at this time. FIRST, it forms
the fual breakdown of the Confederate

through which the Republican party wa'
to be deprived Of popular and efficient lead

What They Think Of Ceushatta.

It may be very popular among those who
delight in exciting the animosities OF race
and of party, to treat the assassination OF
Republicans, no matter by whom the deed
may have been perpetrated, as . matte- OF
lest, The circumstances of the Coushatta
assassination, and tho contemptuous tone
IN which the victims are treated, has al
ready tended ''to fire the Western heart"
against the lawless intolerances which such
tone is thought to indicate. Under the
head of Democratic First Guns Of the
Campaign" the Chicago Tribune has this
notice of the latest Coushatta assassina-
ton. Under the impression that Senator
Twitchell had been killed, it says:
In Louisiana the first gun, of which re-
port came yesterday, was fired at Coushatta
parish, memorable as the theatre OF the
atrOcious massacre of freedmen, and was q
repeating rife. 1t was not election day,
but the political effect was about the same
a. follows those of the gune fred on cleo
ton days in Louisiana since the war. 1t
created q vacancy on the Republican side
in the LEGISLATURE, and ridded the State of
q carpet -bagger, Senator Twitchell. His
ofFense was Of precisely the sort to invite
such fate. He was not only Republican
State Senator, but-and that vas the ag
gravating, feature about this term OF
Otfice would not have expired until after the
presidential election. as he was one OF the
Senators holding over.
Another Western paper, under the head
of "Nigger Shooting" notices the Demo
cratic nulllficatioa of negro suffrage in In
dianapolis, and adds:
In the South things are different. There
the fun has opened With the return of spring.
and promises to continue with increasing
interest. The long-haired gentry have
thawed, and are as hungry for "niggers" a.
half famished crocodiles. If "niggers" are
| lican, and yesterdays dispatches chronicle
the killing OF NJ. H Twitcheil, Republican
State Senator, and George King, his brother
| in-law, at Coushatta, Louisiana. AS the
| chivalry warm up to their work we may
| look tor many cheerful announcements like
the above, while here, in this tyrannical
| latitude, legal obstacles are thrown in the
| way of every attempt to get in little work
| of this character.
| If the Northern Democracy could succeed
as we'll in silencing the Winchester rifles O
| the White Leaguers as they seem to have
done the freeating Democracy in Congress
the delusion of reconciled Democrac!
| might spread abroad. The constant appea
OF the White League press to the men o
violence, the palliation of murders com
mitted on Republicans, tend still to stimu
late these violent men. The deeds perpe
trated under these appeals shock the hear
of humanity and convince all impartis
/ ;e in To- ploc
and ferocious force, solely restrained by tn
necessity OF employing hypocrisy to secur
the positions by means of violence.
