Registration in Natchitoches
Parish.

So far, VIC have M complaint to
make of Mr.. Russ, Supervisor Of Reg
istratiou, save as relates to following
orders whicl, we think should have
been disol,cyeil; however, he ca"''i'''y
admits the fact, that he does so under
Instructions. and this admission in q
measure, mitigatcs the sin.
As We said, VIC have no complaint
I" make, 40 far, Of Mr.. Russ, personal
", but VIC propose to tear Ills figures
to tatters.
The registration office in New Or
leans has instructed Russ to base his
report Of the white and Cd nd reg.
istrat,on weekly, upon . supposed 'e.
turn in that Office of
Whites registered in 1874.
Blacks "
20 this il added the white and black
voters a. they register weekly, and
shows = negro majority Of 1850 in
Natchitoches parish.
Every man with ono grain OF sense
In this State knows full we'll what
fknf means. Il ia in fact the thinnest
Of their tricks, to furnish a basis for
tho Returning Board. 1850 is, how.
ever, 4 bad number. II has been
tried before with 1880. Myers and
Breda, IN le72, had = 1850 election,
with afidavits and no votes. The
slop organ on Front Street, has talk
Ell 1850 majority until tho fabric IA
worn ont, and every Democratic citi'
zen ia on the watch for them. Now
We will give the real figures Of 1874
which show a marked difference from
Mr.. Russ's Instructions, and ours are
from tie Registrar himse!E.
The white registered vote In 1874,
was 1856, colored 235l-colored ma
jority 99s.
In 1876, there has been, up to thi'
time, 1908 whites registered, an To-
crease Of three hundred aud fifty
two, showing large goiDs !" each 'card
while tho negro vote WAS Increased
about the same they lost 10 each ward
that ia, the number reporting for re'
vision. and aegroes all report, 10
thousand less than 10 1874.
Be that ~ Il may, we take the 1851
~ = large negro registration-as full
~ they have, and 100 as tho whit
registration. This ia 10 keeping with
tho census Of 1870.
Therefore, this IS about a. correct q
statement as can be compiled.

Peace.

The cry Of peace from radicals IL
all perfect cant and tho eouduct Of
their roughs and bullies on Tuesday
last in attacking democratic colored
men show conclusively what peace
they would have had they the power.
For some time past We have en-.
deavored to instill into the public
mind the idea that peace was to our
interest at this time aud tho radical
paper here WA slopping over fcr
"peace and good will" every week.
That our people agreed with us the
the conduct Of tho campaign thus far
amply demonstrates, but If Mr.. Blunt
and his crowd think that this quiet
is to be bought At the price Of such
outrages a. that perpetrated on Tues.
day, they are mistaken.
There must lie a stop put to this
and at once. Home guards have al.
ready been organized in most Of our
river wards and protection to col.
ored democratic voters will he If.
Died erex ssto retaliation upon the
perpetrators Of violence and outrage.
We do not propose to hasm colored
men for this f; they are the dupes Of
radical scoundrels in our midst who
will be held to close account for this
conduct.
Tho Tuesday row occurred thus
wise:
It seems that . negro boy upon
going to the table to partake Of the
barbecued meats was INTERCEPTED as
to his politics, be replied that he va,
q democrat, wl'ereupon be was told
that no meat was to be had for Dem.
ocratic negroes aud q crowd of twenty
or more cowardly roughs Get upor
him beating him with clubs and fire.
ing pistols, woanding two bystander'
BY the shots. Tho whites, who hat
returned to town, on bearing this
went out and rescued the boy. These
are the facts Of the case aud We onl,
ask, what do the civil authorities pr,
pose to do I Aud answer nothing
Consequently We viii do something
ourselves aud that something will b,
. lastipg lesson to the radical ba,iie
and towards Of this parish, not on
Of whom would lace, singly, . Demo
cratic negro or white man in our par
ish.
The election takes place in abou
three weeks during tho interim VI
will eco how we'll peace Of tho righ
kind is kept.

Tbs Contrast.

On the ll,h September, that day
which will ever l,e memorable and

the Democratic Conservative citizens
Of Natchitochcs parish place! in the
field a parochial ticket which was re.
ccivc,l from one extreme of this par.
ish to another, with a perfect ovation
Of applause.
Pride beamed in the eye Of every
citizen at tie noble work Of their
Convention, and the nomination Of
such men rs Ross, Hathorn, Perot.
Prndhomme, Keesap, Walmslcy and
others, resulted in registering three
hundred and sirty-t,eo more whi'es than
mere erer before registered IN the par.
;sk.
These nominations filed our white
citizens with hope, and made our
colored Democratic friends enthusi.
astic for the cause, while gloom sat
upon the brow Of every Radical lead

How did the Radical machine ef.
