Robert Poindexter, colored man
who professed to be convert to the
Cause of Tilden and Nichols, made a
few speeches to delighted Democratic
audiences in New Orleans aud went
to open up stirring canvass on his
old stamping ground, the Lafourche
district. While in Thibodaux he col
lected $500 from Democratic mana
gers to be used, he said, in purchasing
registration papers from colored vot-
ers. With this amount of lucre safely
bestowed in his capacious breecher-
looms, the deceiving dusky Bob expe-
ditiously disappeared and has not
been heard from since. Poindexter
is one of the Democratic darkies who
have made charges of dishonesty
against MI. Packard, the Republican
nominee for Governor.

In the same paragraph which makes
mention of the letter of ex- Gov. P. O.
Hebert declaring himself favorable TO
the Democratic State ticket, the n. @.
Repa6licaa remarks that Col. A. F.
Wrotnowski has been appointed State
Engineer. The idea apparently in
tended to be conveyed is, that there is
some connection between the appoint
ment and the letter that if another
persan--ex-Gov. HeLert, for instance
had been honored with the position
left vacant by the death of Gen.
Thompson, the people of Louisiana
might never have enjoyed the high
privilege Of reading a Democratic
manifesto from the venerable citizen
of Iberriile parish who has been of
late years identified With the Repub-
liesn party.

Some eminent Tilden aud Hen
bricks reformer entered the office of
the Shreveport Telegram aud mali
ciously mixed together two cases of
dissimilar type. Such outrages as
this are always committed by Demo-
Gratis, and Republican newspapers are
always the sufferers. Free speech
and q free press are as hateful to your
genuine Bourbon as justice is to the
convicted malefactor or holy water
to the prince of evil aud patron saint
of ultra Democracy.

Hon. James G.. Taliaferro, Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court of
this State, died at his home at Har-
risnnburg, Catahoula parish, on the
I1th instant, at the advanced age of
about Sd years. He was prominent
member of the secession convention
of 1861, and used every exertion to
defeat the ordinance withdrawing
Louisiana from the Union. In 1868
he was elected to the constitutional
convention and chosen president of
that body. He was candidate for
Governor against Gov. Warmoth, and
was appointed by the latter one of
the Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court, which position he held to the
time of his death. He was man of
pure character and fine abilities, pre-
eminently qualified for the high ju-
dicial station he occupied.

Democrats broke up a Republican
meeting at Canton, Miss, and a

DEMOCRATIC OUTRAGEs.

While making temperate aud con-
vincing Republican speech at d night I
meeting in Shreveport, Colonel Jack
Wharton was struck and slightly in
iured by a stone thrown by some per-
son on the outskirts of the crowd
whose identity was concealed by the |
darkness. The unproyoked assault
was severely condemned by Hon.
Aleck. Boarman, chairman OF the
meeting, and also reprobated by the
better class of Democrats present,
but. unfortunately for the welfare OF
society in the disturbed sections OF
Louisiana and the South, the hot
headed fellows and unprincipled row.
dies who provoke trouble and commit
outrages are not under the control OF
the decent elements of their party,
aud have no more respect for pubic
opinion than for the laws they delight
to violate.
A Republican meeting at Mansfield,
DeSoto parish, was recently broken
up by crowd of Democrats who
threw rotten eggs at the audience
and the speaker. The Democratic
organ at Mansfield caudidly admits
the perpetration of this outrage, but
so far from condemning it, makes
light of the matter, thus encouraging
the rowdies to repeat their offense
against public decency and the law
of the land.
1t is such misdemeanors as these,
committed by Democrats aud en-
dorsed by Democratic pless, that
stamp the opposition q party OF in
tolerance and lawlessuess, and make
its threatened asctndancy a menace
to the interests of the commonwealth
and the we'll being of society. The
spirit which its dominant elements
display towards those opposed to
them III political belief is similar to
that of the old Know Nothing party,
and the doctrines of the latter were
not more monstrous or more hurtful
to the welfare of the country and the
people, than are the tenets OF our
modern Democracy, as illustrated by
the practices of the bulldozers and
hoodlums who reign supreme and
shape the party policy in a number
of the parishes of Louisiana. AS they
control their party, so would they
control the government should it IN :
fortunately fall into Democratic hands,
and there would be no more liberty of
speech oil freedom of political action
accorded to Republicans in Louisiana.
Every man who loves justice and
fair play, who believes in granting
to his ncighbor the same rights aud
privileges which he asks for himself,
who appreciates and snstains the
great principles underlying our system
of government, should cast his ballot
against the party which conntenancrs
assaults upon public speakers and
peaeeable assemblages of people.

The Sparring Match.

Rcd-Handed Mikes benefit drew
the largest audience that has vet as
sembled in Miners Union Hall
to witness an entertainment. For the
benefit Of those who have never at
tended such exhibitions We will say
that it was not at all exclusive nor
vigorously select. Such audiences
never are. Nor is it strict rule on
such occasion for those on the front
seats to take their hats of. With 50
much Of a prelude for the iuforma-
ton of the unsophisticatcd, we will
say that those who attended last
night considered that they got their
moneys worth. The club act OF
Mike was alone worth the cost of adj
mission. The clubs that he used
weigh eighteen pounds apiece, and
he SWING them singly and together
50 long and so skilfully that tue
au lence were still and noisy by
turns with rapt attention and invol-
untary applause. Mike is ~ell prac-
ticed in this exercise. The club act
was preceded by some sporadic spar
ring between youths and men that
was entertaining. Mikes character
acting and singing were less attrac-
tive than they might have been had
he not been under the disadvantage
of bad cold. There was some good
sparring between Rodda and others,
and the final bout, between Rodda
and Mike. was specially interesting.
Rndda was of course no match for
Mike, yet the contest was sufficiently
close to be of absorbing interest.
Trevillian and Bug Williams did
not appear.

The Observation-Disclosures says that
they have found something good in
the kossuth lately. Rumor is sec
onded by the fact that the company
are putting up large orc dump. The
kossuth ledge is about eighty feet
wide, and some excellent specimens
of ore have been takenfrom It. They
have been running parallel with the
ledge. in country rock, for some time
past, and We presume now they have
crosscut. There is promise about
the Kossuth.
