"thcrc IL a perfect reign Of terror
in West Fc'iciana cotton fields
are deserted, the crops are neglect
ed and everything bears the marks
Of dcsolation and ruin" This /
rc.utc by stating that every week
hundreds Of citizens, white and col-
ored, meet and mingle in common
conversation, and hundreds Of rs-
grocs arc cnfoIIinl thcmsetFes in
oar ranks. The crop prospects
Fare not more nateriag in any. par-
ish OF tho STATE than IA Wet Fe-
!iciana. Docs tnis look ike "a
perfect reign OF terror p He says,
during my entile trip from Bayou
Sara to jackson, and back, saw
but two colored PERSONS" Now,
this is doubtless true, but why ?
1t is obvious &: OF the mony hin
dred negroes residing between
these ,wO points, only two were
idle al! nf the-ress were whore
they should be, at such alict and
harmonious times, meTrily toiling
in the farms, preparing for the joy
Gus harvest season. The scolored
man" who he assa!t' was ''shot by
Il white man." was shot by an Off
Ger in attempting 20 arrest The ne
go Cor a crime he had committed,
which was nothing more than ful-
filing a mandate Of the law. The
BGitdOOZers were in no way con,
cerned. The shooting he speaks of
as occurring in Jackson, was a
strictly personal difficulty between
two white men, and how could be
term that tyrany of tue Bulldooz-
crs.
Now, in conclusion, let me say,
in vindicatio1 Of our honorable or
der, who are composed of the best
citizens Of the parish, that our OBJ
joct is to put down stealing. and
all manner Of crimes cognizable
under civil law, and to preserve
the peace, oueIl riots, and keep
good order, gentralIy, in the par
ish; And Il hard working me-
grocs co~optEate with US in this
work, and heartily endorse our
proceedings.
We discounRnance any impru-
dent, rash, or debasing conduct,
and act only as cautious pru-
dent an5 .judisious men. Trusting
that this imperfect defense, from
an cnpracticed pes, will give satis-
faction TO my men, who chose me
as their indicator, and meet tho
appreciation Of the people whom
we protect, close, with an apolo-
gy to the Editors for not being
master Of the profession of making
lengthy explanation in a few
words Respectfully;
