\ somewhat notorious n"yr" polite an
named Laws, WAS killed IN Jackson,
East Frliciana, on thp lolh inst, by AN
other negro, tho paramour of his wife.
This seems to- have been a mnr("r Of the
most ordinary and com'n"n' place class,
such as is p"rpctratcd daily i'll different
portions Of th" Union, and which the
local authorities attend to. In this State,
however, there seems to br II trvrrlSll
anxiety to coustrur every intrac,un OF
the law into an act possessing some ter
riblc political significance. If tho n'"st
useful and honorcl citizen Of East rrIl~
cjana had been assaSsina,rl it would not
have provukcd ono fourth thr cIamor
that has been created by the killing OF
Laws. The Sheriff end courts of East
Frlciana are entirely competent and
willing to deal with this matter; but be.
caus" Laws happened to be a radical
ucrro politician an idea prevails that an
immense amount rf fierce indignation
must be cxpc"l"d, ard the Governor Is
invoked to to sutnc iud"fin'lc thing in
the premises. The Times Yesterday
evening was especially wild and cN~
laimcd'
We hope Gov. Nichols will lose NO
time in prompt investigation OF the Kill
Inc Of Lnws IN East Frlici!na Il few days
ago. This sort of thing "nS hit to stop
Let us know who is to blame. The re-
putation Of the State is 1T stake IN this
matter
As for our part, we see no necessity
for Gov. Nichols to take any part III
the matter whatever, or to make An ill.,
ye>,ication. The crime Of murder has
been committed in Jackson. and certain
" it is to be regretted. but low "tEc
reputation of the State is at stake in
this NATTER" any more than the rcpu,a~
ton of any other State is at stake, be-
cause of any ordinary murder that las
been committed within its hpr'lers, we
are unable to SEQ. Two negroes in East
Feliciana seem to have hid a GnarTc(
about wife or a concnbinc, and one
has murdered the other. This is the
sum and substance of the whole matter,
The local authorities Wilde their whole
duty, and we can see no necessity for
all this cutlery or for any action on tn"
part Of tovcrncr Nichols.
When any class or race OF COR p"pula'
ton shall attempt to persecute any 9TH
err class, or when any law]ess movement,
too powerful for the local authorities to
suppress shall manifest itself, Governor
Nichols will not be a lasgard in using
all the authority and influence of his Of
flee to protect the outraged class, or to
maintain the law: But he cannot be
expected to undertake the administra-
ton of justice in every parish and neigh
borhood of the State, and these outcri"s,
