der, protect human life and punish those
who disturb the public peace is not un-
reasonable. If such affairs as the DeKaib
butchery are to be passed over without
any attempt to bring the bloody villains
who engaged in it to the bar of justice, ID
is not likely to add to the popularity Of
home rule among the people at large. IL
will be felt that home rule is device to
cover crime and let it go unwhipt of JUS
tice. The want of a strong hand TO COR
rect disorders and enforce respect for law
will be widely felt and admitted, and 8
way will be found to cure the evil at the
expense of home rule, if the alternative
be necessary. Governor Stone had bet
ter reconsider his policy of noninterven-
tion.
Per contra, the Handsboro, Mississippi,
Democrat of last Saturday says:
1t is about time that Governor Stone,
of Mississippi, did something about that
DeKalb killing. His reputation as o
prompt, fearless executive is at stake. -

1t is about time you attend to your own
business, and learn that Mississippi is not
governed by q Sultan. In Mississippi
violations of the law are inquired into
and the violators punished by courts of
justice, not by Governors. Itmay be diff
ferent with you,
1t is peculiar fact that, without regard
to politics, every paper in the North has
condemned the Kemper county outrage.
Every Democratic paper in Mississippi
has justified it.
As in the case of Weber at Bayou Sara,
no arrests have been made of the Kemper
county assassins, nor is it consistent with
sound Democratic pacifcstion policy that
any should be.

Local OpIIon Vetoed.

Governor Rice sent message to the
Senate vetoing the local option liquor bill
recently passed by the Legislature. He
says he is opposed to frequent change of
laws on SO important matter as the reg
ulation Of the sale of intoxicating liquors,
thinks the present license law is working
well, and that the sale of liquor under il
is constantly diminishing, and the pub
lie sentiment does not demand any
changes.
Extreme laws on this subject have never
been enforced in this State, and can not
be. Besides, the present law gives to the
cities and towns most of the important
provisions of the proposed law, it being
now practically as much local option as
the new bill would make it.
He thinks the proposed law would
greatly impede the present reform move
men in the State by introducing a new
element of discord into the discussion, by
diyerting attention from the successful
methods now employed, and by furnish
ing the enemies Of the reformers with
plausible excuses for setting the law at
defiance, Boston Correspondence of ne

Ii harmony with this meeting was
imnediat ely held and resolutions passed
which are decidedly Characteristic and
encouraging:
WEREAs, Public press dispatches have
recently appeared in the New Orleans
papers reporting that there has been and
is likely to be violent resistance to the
seques ration by United States deputy
marshas of quaHtity of pine logs in
Cslcasiu parish, undes wit issued by
the Unled States Circuit Court in New
Orleans. and
Whereas, Such reports have already led
to the selding of marshal's armed posse
from NeR Orleans to Calcasieu, and have
induced fle Governor of the State to tele-
graph to 0me Of our principal citizens
an eXhorhtion to offer no resistance to
said marshls posse; and
Whereas, Such reports are well calcu-
lated to inure our parish abroad, and
cause gravesnxiety to the chief executive
of our State therefore,
Resolved, That after the most careful
inquiry we cn find no foundation what
ever for said public reports, except that
three citizens of our parish have used
harsh lsGGcs;;G;aa ;;G;aassetoward one Of the deputy
marshals, and two persons acting as keep
ers Of some of he logs seized.
Resolved, Tha it would be an outrage
on the people of Calcasieu, always known
as law abiding people, to hold them re-
sponsibie for the acts of only three of
their fellow-citizeIs.
RESOLVED, That hough the writ of Sc
questration in tha instance was wrong
fully obtained, ant has been arbitrarily
and illegally execuad, the people of Cal.
casieu are not only determined to respect
the authority of the court from which it
issued, and of the dficers charged or in
any way concerned with its execution,
but they pledge the honor of Calcasieu
that those officers cal have, at any mo-
ment they may choost to call for it, any
assistance from our citizens ia the dis
charge of their official luty in this matter
which those officers haze the legal right
to require.
Resolved, That the people of Calcasieu
will always feel personll pride in assist
ing Governor Nichols t. keep his public
and solemn pledge, that ne peace of Lou
isiana shall be sacredly p'eserved.
The United States commissioner seems
to disagree about the obtaining and execu-
tion of the writ, and telgraphs to the
parish:
No compromise will be approved or
considered by the department until an in
ventory and appraisement ofthe property
has been received, and not then at less
than full valuation of the property.
j. A. WILLIAMSON, Commissioner.
He has also sent to Agent Carter for full
particulars.

Policy Players.

Mr.. T. T. Allain of late seems TO be
consumed with the idea that an opinion
from him is required on every subject that
the people consider worthy of discussion.
During the session Of the Legislature, in
the intervals of his absenteeism, he pub
lished the sentiments of different people |
over his name, and since then has ap-
peared at regular intervals Of about FIVE |
days with varying opinions. The various
styles of the documents he fathers indi-
cate as many different composers. Any
one who will adopt his name seems to be
not only welcome to it, but the Senator
seems also willing to pay the bills for
printing.
Learning that the society of ave hun
dred women" was not only formidable in
numbers but earnest in its purpose he
published letter to them. Their answer
seems to have effectually snubbed him,
and, even in its faults, it bore evidence OF
original thought quality which apper-
tains to nothing Mr.. Allan has ever pro-
duced.
Next, the whole responsibility of state
ment of the motives and vocation of the
new returning board was cast on his
shoulders, and he signed an Endorsement
of the intention Of every one of them,
though nothing appears to show they au-
thorized him to do so. Perhaps the board
deems either the contradiction or support
of his opinion of less moment than the
''ive hundred women" did, and sensible
people will agree with such conclusion.
Lastly he has been itching to give to
the President an opinion on his 'policy,'
and has been induced to send dispatch
to him as follows:
New ORLEANS, May 10, 1877.
President Hayes, Washington
Your policy in Louisiana has brought
about peace and good will. The laboring
classes in the country parishes have got
to work, and the sugar fields are looking
green.
A change in the naval Office before the
extra session of Congress, or in favor Of
those who are now seeking the Office in
Washington, will not be considered as
compliment to the colored people who
raise sugar and cotton.
T. T. ALLAN,
Fourteenth District.
Every friend of Mr. Riard, the present
accomplished incumbent of the naval
Office, will send up prayers that this piece
of egotism will do him no harm. But,
as usual, Mr.. Allain has put his foot in it
He gave to few. Republicans who knew
of his political course an opportunity to
turn on him one of his misdeeds, and
another dispatch followed the publication
of the above:
New ORLEANS, May 20, 1877,
To President Hayes:
Senator T. T. Allain has no authority
for saying that a change in the naval Office
will not be complimentary to the colored
people. He has had no influence among
the colored people since the election,
when he distributed and caused to be
voted, in Iberville and West Baton Rouge,
over 1000 Republican tickets without the
names of your electors upon them.

The CaIcasieu Troubles.

Monday night the revenue cutter Dix
left Pontchartrain lake for Calcasieu par
isb, carrying about hundred United
States soldiers to the aid of Deputy Mar
shal Govan, now in charge of the logs
seized in the suit of the United States.
Rumors of apprehended and serious
trouble having been heard in all direc-
tons, Governor Nichols sent dispatch
to the State officials in that locality. 1t
will be seen that he calls on them to see
that the laws of the United States are
obeyed, and in this respect his letter is a
novelty, 1t is probably the first request
for their observance by Democratic Off
cial in Louisiana for sixteen years:
