The New York Express pithily
observes that the difference be-
tween the friends of Tilden and
Hendricks in the United States
and the friends Of Gov. Nichols is
very properly settled by saying
that Gov. Iilden and his friends
preferred commission to the
consequences which might follow
Republican resistance to right,
while tie people of Louisiana
undertook to face the conse-
quences, and were successful. The
result teaches lesson the fruits
of which come too late for
present use.

Execution.

1Vuis houSseau, White man
was hanged yesterday In front q
our parish prison. This is the
flrst execution of white man. b,
due process of law, for the lasi
thirty Years, in this parish; and
the ffst lawful execution witnessed
here Stree the war.

seau murdered CYRUS Brignac in
his Rousseau s,,eoftee house at Vile
Plate in FEBRUARY, 1875, and made
| good his escape. Six. Months
afterwards, however, he Was ar
rested in the Indian Territory and
brought back here. where his
trial took place in November of
the same year. He WAS con-
demned to. be hanged. Gov.
Nichols recently approved the
sentence and fixed the Sth of June
for his execution. 1t is by virtue
of this judgment that Rousseau
was hanged.
Rousseau las been in the parish
prison at New Orleans for several
months, and was only brought
back here last Saturday. On
Monday be attempted to destroy
himself byswallowing some poison,
wrapped up in paper, supposed
to have been brought him by bis
wife. A strong emetic was i'm
mediately administered to him,
and he threw up the'poison as well
as the paper which contained it.
The physicians who analyzed the
substance could not distinguish
what kind OF poison it was, or if
it Was any poison at all, aud it is
quite probabie that it WAS some
harmless drug that he swallowed.
The druggist from whom it was
obtained may have purposely
given a harmless powder for in
New Orleans, particularly, where
the drug was NO doubt obtained,
it is ALMOST impossible Tor any
one to procure q violent poison

Truth from and Unexpected
Source.
IHarper's Weekly,l

No more untimely and wretched
work can be done than to excite
republican hostility against "the
South " as section. Our politics
become simply revolutionary and
intolerable when one party re-
CARDS the other not as an opposi-
ton under the government, but as
q deadly enemy Of the government
itself To insist, by carefully citing
only crimes and disorders in the
Southern States, that the white
population can never be trusted to
deal fairly with the negroes is
merely to fan and prolopg the hos
tility of which the negro is the VIC
tim.
