of Feliciana, that he appointed such men
to Office as the Democracy itself dictated.
One would have thought that this would
have appeased the political malcontents.
Perhaps it did. The jayhawkers, how
ever, had no idea of giving up the fresh
beef to be had for . rife ball, or the
whisky and sardines resulting from q
burning store. They still roamed around
the country, and by making life and prop
erty insecure, inflicted infinite mischief
upon the interests of the community.
We have, then, meetings in which the
colored and white people unite, to put
stop to a violence productive of SO much
ruin.
We wish to take no political advantage
of these admissions. It has been always
plain that such "bloody instructions"
would return to plague" those who mi.
tiated them. It is the UNDECIDED spark
that starts the confagration. It is the
revolutionary doctrine, emanating from
those who taught agitation. agitation! in
New Orleans, that is now killing the cat
tie and burning the stores and gins in the
parishes. We will gladly unite with any
and all in the reformation of these crimi-
nal abuses We do not despair of seeing the
people Of Feliciana white and black well
come the United States marshal and
troops, as trusted friends in restoring the
peace and safety of their parish.

HARDLY UP TO TIE MARX.

When burglary or any other fragrant
offense has been committed, and the per-
petrator allowed to go UNPUBLISHED, it is
| not sufficient excuse for the police
officers to prove they had nothing to do
with it. If patrolman were up before
the Police Board on charge OF neglect of
duty in matter known to everybody ex-
cept himself he could not defend by say
ing that he was not acquainted with the
alleged offenders, and had never been
paid by them for immunity from arrest.
Something more than neutrality is ex-
pected of the police. When informed
that burglary has been committed, a
greenhorn victimized by gamblers or any
other crime perpetrated, it is their duty to
find out something about it and bring the
offenders to trial. They are employed
and paid to detect the bad and protect
the defenseless, and not to be good them
selves. A perfectly honest policeman,
who is too stupid or inactive to find out
what is going on in the limits of his beat
is not competent officer. He lacks en-
ergy, zeal and courage SO necessary to the
proper discharge of his duty.
During the late trial of the Superin-
tendent before the Police Board, it was
shown that patrolmen had been put on
special duty before place on st. Charles
street, which was suspected Of being
bunko establishment. He was unable to
discover anything wrong, though the daily
papers contained reports of numerous per-
Sous being victimized. This policemen,
with his back to the door and his eyes fixed
on the upper windows of the St. Charles
Hotel, was probably the only sensate being
in the vicincity who did not know what
was going on within. He neither saw nor
heard anything wrong. Does not even
know what bunko is. Suca man is too
innocent and unused to the ways of the
world to make a good policemen. He
should be engaged for Sabbath school.
Under the ruling of the Police Board,
however, be is excusable on account of his
ignorance and inability to accomplish the
object of his employment and detail.
The correct name for this defect is ineffi-
cheney, and the proper cure is dismissal
from service

ATTENTIONS TO BAYOU SARA

A contemporary learns that the city of
Baton Rouge and surrounding country
are quiet but 'the people" are anxiously
awaiting Governor Kelloggs action upon
certain official designations which have
| been compelled by the regulators. At
the same time, company of troops has
been sent to Port Gibson, via Bayou Sara.
In the last named wharf-boat village
there has been recent raid on the off,
GERS and demands made for designations.
Compliance has been promised, under
duress of course. Whether the presence
of the blue coats will give the officials
backbone and correspondingly brook the
spirits of the regulators, We can not say;
but taking this military movement in
connection with the reports from Wash
ington, that Mr.. Pierrepont has found
out that there is an enforcement law and
the President has noticed that his Attor-
ney General has been remiss in his duty
in regard to Mississippi affairs, it need
surprise no one to hear that the DISPOSE
ton to keep quiet will manifest itself all
through the disturbed region OF Baton
Rouge and Feliciana.
We suspect Bayou Sara and not Port
Gibson is the objective point of the
United States troops. From the best ad-
vices, it appears there has been the usual
bullying and regulating attempted at the
landing, while the interior country town
has behaved itself as we'll as could be ex-
pected. Bayou Sara, on the contrary,
closed all its stores on Wednesday, and
devoted the whole day to the supervision
of designations. Having apparently OBJ
tanned the customary promises from the
intimidated incumbents, the next step is
to gain the sanction of the Governor to
their violent and illegal proceedings.
Under these circumstances it is probable
that the presence of the boys in blue
upon the old wharf-boat will be timely.
Even if they pass out to Port Gibson, it
will have soothing effect on the turbu-
lent regulators to see them, provided they
don't happen to have urgent business
elsewhere at the time.

ORDER IN FELICIANA.

It is useless to remind the most cursory
reader of history that the leaders in the
violation of Law are often left far behind
in the assault by the followers they have
melted to assist them.
It has been some years since the
doctrine of resisting laws not deemed con-
stitutional by those who did not like them
was openly preached and printed in our
city. There was an organization to cap
ture by force of arms the police stations.
1t was urged at a public meeting that
armed men should be sent to aid the
Democracy Of a western parish in an in
tended resista nee of the law.
Then there came the overthrow of the
State government on the fourteenth Sep
TENDER, and the denunciation of the fed
eral government for complying with the
demand to suppress domestic violence in
this State. During this whole period the
Democratic press and oratory of the State
teemed with argument to show that all
people who do not like law have the
same right to resist it as did the patriots of
the American revolution. The raids of
Colfax and Coushatta were lauded to the
skies, and the persons indicted and i'm
prisoned for these offenses were treated as
martyrs to the cause of liberty.
The principle Of higher law was applied
in Feliciana. So long as it merely re-
suited in the murder and expulsion of
Republican officials, there was no public
protest, and the Democratic journals of
New Orleans treated these deeds as the
playful vagaries Of the Democratic lambs.
There came, however, a change in the
application Of this doctrine There was
the destruction of property. Cotton was
burned as wantonly as blood had been
shed. Cattle were shot with as little
thought as If they had been negroes. A
harmless German family, who could not
speak English, were burned out Of house
and clothing. In the mean time, the Re-
publican Governor had so far regarded
the lives and property Of the Republicans

small moment to rs whether it considers
Governor Kellogg usurper or our legal
Governor. No one is at present consult
ing its opinion upon this or any other
subject But when the names OF others
are snaked into its partisan warfare, with
out their consent, an explanation of such
ill-timed pleasantly is in order, even If it
takes column or more of the choicest
bad temper to make it. Rex is friendly
monarch, and does not smile benignantly
upon those who attempt to drag his royal
robes through the pools of party quarrels
He assures US, through his trusty minis
tiers, that no communication whatever has,
as yet, been sent to his excellency Cover
nor Kellogg.

The tone of Democratic sentiment
throughout the country is evidently i'm
proving. When a mass meeting is held
for the purpose of compelling Republican
officials to resign, care is taken to have
reporters note the presence of large
number of oolored people, "who fully
participated in the proceedings This is
probably done to give color Of respecta-
bility to the proceedings. The practice
will have the effect to bring the two races
