The GOvernorship.

The action of the fifth congressional dis
trict convention Tuesday, in presenting the
name of Chief Justice Ludeling for Governor
to the Republican State Convention, and
irstructng the delegates from the district
to support him, is an indication that
local candidates are not going to have
it all their own way in the convention
next Tuesday. The fifth district embraces
the parishes of Caldwell, Concordia,
Franklin, Tensas, Madison. Richland,
Ouachita, jackson, Lincoln, Union, More
house, Carroll, Claiborne and Catshoula,
and will have fifty votes in the State
convention. This district generally sends
to the convention able and clear
headed delegates-men who win out
side strength to any candidate they may fix
upon. The Chief Justice deserves well Of
the party, and his friends seem determined
to recognize fittingly his great services.

The Last Outrsge.

From the latest intelligence it appears
that this Last killing Of colored people is
more heinous than the first reports indi'
Gated. Almost all those WHO we're attacked
were joint proprietors of the Mount Pleas
ant plantation, where five Of them were
hanged On their own gate. They had paid
fer it. They Cwed no one. They were
prosperous; their plantation was the most
valuable Of all in the parish.
That was the, situation. The Regulators,
not owning q spoonful of soil, idle and law
less, envied these landed propristors. who
were industrious and law abiding citizens.
SO they "bulldlozsd" then.
When the sheriff Of the parish learn ed of
the outrage he dii something. His duty
was to call on the Governor for aid under
such circumstances. But instead of that he
called on a rifle company of the city of
Baton Rouge, and they raised tweuty-six
men for him.
He has not yet rendered report to the
Governor. No doubt, like the other Off
Gals who have saved their lives by fleeing
to New Orleans he fears to tell all he saw.
There are many of them here. Not even at
this distance do they dara to express their
opinions. But this much has been learned
On this plantation, Mount Pleasant, sixty
elsht houses are desolate; sixty-eight fami-
lice are fleeing for their lives. The plantation
HIS been pillsged by the Regulators They
have taken all the corn, produce and fodder,
gil the mattresses have been cut open and
thrown way. The plantation had a steam
mill; it Is destroyed. When the rescuers
reached the place there was only one old
co!ofsd man, with eight children, present.
Yet On all this the sheriff has rendered
20 report except what 40 makes to the
Baton Rouge Adcocate, as follows:
On last Sunday morning l heard there
was trouble near Port Hudson. imme-
diately called On Captain John McGrath, of
the American Rifles, to raise me a posse.
which was responded to by the captain
raising posse of twenty-six men. which
was marched to the river aboard of the
Bart Able. and landed at Port Hickey at
ii A. M. There learned from Messrs. w.
Loudon, K. T. Young and Henry Young,
that on Saturday, with constable's posse,
started to arrest party on the Mount
Pleasant plantation. it was fired into, and
on Sunday returned with larger force,
when shots were fired from both parties.
The whites fell back toward the river,
and the negroes in the swamp. The citi-
zens had arrested fourteen colored men,
who were turned over to me as sheriff of
the parish, and whom Captain McGrath
took charge of with the posse and marched
aboard the steamer Bertha. Said parties
are now in Jail awaiting charges to be
made against them. About leaving,
beard report of five negroes being hung
If so it was done by unknown parties.
| don't think it was done by people of this
parish, as Messrs. w. Loudon, Slaughter,
Young and the citizens generally tried to
prevent violence of any kind. l lett every
thing quiet at p. NJ.
Oh. FOREMAN, Sheriff.

Thirtieth Anniversary of Pope Plus L,

Thirtieth Anniversary of Pope Plus IX.
Many of the leading Catholics of this
city recently determined to celebrate the
thirtieth anniversary of the reign Of Plus
TX. in a manner becoming the subject.
Mr.. T. j. Semmes was naturally chosen to
deliver the grafton, and that gentleman
promptly responded. ghe meeting was
called for last evening in st. Patrick's Hall.
but the room, although one of the largest in
the country. was too small to accommodate
all who wished to attend.
Mr.. John B. Lafitte was called on to pre-
side, and Mr.. T. w. Collens, Jr., chosen sec
retary. Mr.. Lafitte made q short speech
aud appointed q committee on resolutions,
who reported that the Catholics of New
Orleans send their congratulations to all
tAe faithful, and that inspired with filial
devotion to Pope Plus TX their spiritual
father on earth, they pray in unison with
all Catholics, that God may vouchsafe unto
him lie and health for the further prosecu-
ton of the arduOus duties of his sacred
ministry.
The speech made by Mr.. Semmes was an
elaborate and an able one, full Of facts
which will interest others than Catholics.
The orator was even more than usually
brilliant, holding his audience from begin.
ming to ending, and he was frequently
heartily applauded.
Only few decorations were visible, and
those on the rear wall were happily chosen
for the occasion. Flags were tastefully ar.
ranged high above the speakers stand.
After adjournment there was liberal dis.
rlay of fireworks.

Slightly Inaccurate.

Says the Cincinnati Commercial of the
nineteenth:
The New Orleans Ficayune says that the
biography OF r. B. Hayes is easily given,
and proceeds to give it, as follows:
"He is Verm0nter by birth. In early
life he emigrated to Ohio and engaged in
the practice of law. When the war broke
out he took service in regiment OF Ohio
volunteers and was made major. He was
afterward several times promoted, and was
finally advanced to brigadier generalship.
While acting in this capacity he was
wounded and captured by the brigade of
General Haye, OF this city,"
The only errors we note in this are, that
Hayes is not q Vermonter, but an Onioau
BY birth; therefore he did not emigrste to
Ohio. He was wounded when lieutenant
colonel. but he was not captured by Harry
Hays, or any other namesake.

Tho Whisky Cases.

Probably the last official act OF the prose
oution in these cases has been performed.
District Attorney Beckwith has received
and returned the application for the pardon
of John Henderson. He reports adversely
on it. stating that he sees no reason why the
sentence should be commuted. The de-
partment of public justice will hardly pre-
sent case to the President on such report.
There have been persistent efforts made
TO have John Henderson retained here, and
the others sent to West Virgins, in the
hope of q complete respite from his SEN
tercs, but now it is certain that all will be
dealt with alike, and the influence OF wealth
and position have no more effect than the
previous good character Of the more unfor-
tupate prisoners.

hard work. The appropriation bills will all
have to be put through by the last of this
month. Not only will both Of these legisla-
tive bodies have hot time Of it through
the sweltering days of June, but night
sessions will compel the attendance of all
the members. This might have been
avoided by defsrring political discus
sion until after the appropriation bills
were passed, but the House was never
known to take such wise step. They pre-
fer doing everything under the highest OF
pressure during the hottest of days and
nights. The appropriation bills, it was
thought, might be jeopardized by the whole
sale cutting down of salaries of government
officers. The particular point is, what
causes the deadlock over the appropriation
bills. The remedy for this, as suggested by
Senator Morrill,, seems to be growing in favor
among our legislators. 1t is, that in order
to cut down these salaries a special bill for
that particular purpose must be brought il;
that this changing of salaries is not german
to the regular appropriation bills. Unless
the House comes to take this view of this
question more serious trouble than now
seems evitable can be looked for, as the
wheels OF the government would be stopped.
unless money is appropriated to carry on
the business of the government for the next
fiscal year, commencing July l next. Un-
less these appropriation bills are passed by
the last of the month, the postofiices will all
be closed, the carrying of the mails stop
ped, Uniled States courts closed and the
whole business Of the country thrown into
inextricable confusion, and all through the
folly of the ex G Confederate House.
