The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1877-06-01
OUACmlTA'S REPUBLICANS.

since the late revolution in the llOlit
ical affairs Of this parish and State,
the inquiry is not untreqaently made,
where is this or that leading Repub-
lican, and what is he doing now
We have been at no pains, whatever,
to supply correct answers to this
question and can answer with no
more definite information than such
rs is derived from observation, and
this we will give.
Ex-Chief Justice Lutleling has re-
turned to Monroe with his family, or
IL portion, and has been engaged in
one or more civil suits before the Dis
trict Court, now in session. He may
re- embark in the practice of law at
this place. Col. Jno. Ray has per-
manently taken up his residence in
New Orleans, followed by his sons,
except Robert Ray, Jr., who is Post
master at Monroe. Judge Robert
Ray has returned to the bar, and has
been, at the present term of the
Court, several times retained by col
ored clients in criminal cases. Judge
Baker has been absent some time.
He is thought to be maneuvering for
some Federal appointment.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Grady has changed his
residence from Monroe to his place
in the Island where he is engaged in
planting. NJ. .. Grady returned u
few days ago from his winter cruise
in New Orleans, whittier he carried
a heavy cargo of election returns and
reports, and will probably settle
down to his duties as Revenue Col
Letter of this district. His deputy
and business manager is our late
comtrere, Mr.. J. Ennemoser, who has
now only one Office to engage his at
tention to where he had some six or
seven not twelve months ago.
o. H. Brewster has left Ouachita
for good, it seems his personal aud
real property having been seized and
offered for sale. vide, advertising
columns. w. II. Hardy "Our
Hardy'-has also sought other fields
and pastures new. But where either
OF these late Radical potentates have
carpet bagged to we are unimformed.
Brewster, it is said, will locate in
Florida, and Hardy in New Orleans.
j. H. Dinkgrave, Esq, no longer in
the snake-show business, is practic-
ing law in Monroe. Mr.. S. Whited
is industriously cultivating his place
in the Colony. Mr.. James Brewster
is on his hill place, Okaloosa, in this
parish, and is, as his neighbors
report, a recluse, probably studying
the habits of "squirls." .....-
The leaders OF color have either
migrated, or become disguised with
politics and settled down to the act
ual realities Of life. Hamlet, the chief
ruler, has not returned from the
Packard Legislature, and has his
family in New Orleans, where lie is
likely to remain. Frank Darlington
is back in his Office of Land Register,
wearing the look OF one who is preg-
nant with some mighty idea not ready
for parturition. Sandy Bird, Felix
McCloe, Duncan Hill, Anthony
Overton and other prominent cOlored
Republicans who were but lately over
whelmed with the cares of State, are
now quietly engaged in their several
callings, apparently, as we'll con-
tented, if not better, than when
oppressed by the loads all migrate
full people placed upon them.
The absentees are but few we can
recall to mind the names, only, of
Jas. II. Hall, Ben James and Eliza
Pinkston, the two last, colored.
Hall is in New Orleans, or was re-
Gently Eliza Pinkston, we see, is in
Mississippi, and Ben James's where
abouts is to the writer unknown.
DR.. 7. =. Richardson, sheriff, has
vacated his residence two miles be-
low town, and has taken the new res
idence of Mr.. Gerspach adjoining the
Copley house. Mrs. Gilbert, as
we'll known and more favorably than
the Doctor, will continue to preside
as matron of the family, and keep
the rascally youngsters, and their
