The latest news from West FeIiciana is
that the coroner's jury has had before it
many witnesses, but no evidence has been
ELECTED going to show who murdered
Weber, the leading white Republican Of
that parish, two weeks ago. He was as
sassinated at midday, in the heart of the
town-shot by simultaneous discharge
of half q dozen shotguns from the court
house window, at time when some half
a dozen of Mr.. Nichols officials were
present in. the building. The names of
these men are known, yet the coroner has
been unable to find any clue to the crime.
General Nichols published an offer of q
reward of five thousand dollars for the
apprehension of the offenders" as he
styles them, declaring HIS intention to
punish crime and repress lawlessness
throughout the State" This was un-
doubtedly done TO secure himself from
censure at the North, for none know SO
we'll as his own confidential friends in
that parish who the men were that added
the name of Weber to the long list OF
those who have been murdered in this
State because they were Republicans.

Our people have SO long been accus-

Southern literature is beset with the most
tortuous difficulties. The agents of the
Southern Magazine appeared in Baton
Rouge recently and offered their prospectus
to the public. Baton Rouge ia run strictly

were Immediately arrested and pnt in Jail.
They did not claim to be Republicans, they
had not disturbed the peace, robbed any
body, or said Packard was Governor; but
it was enough for Baton Rouge to know
that the gentlemen were soliciting sub
scrip|ions for a Southern publication, aud
INTO Jail they went, and were held. there
until Fem BOylan, of the Nichols police,
telegIaphed from this city to the Baton

The President has said in his inaugu-

A moral obligation rests upon thu ma
t10nal government to employ its cOnstitu-
tipnai power and influence to establish the
rights OF the people it has emancipated,
and to protect them Ia the enjoyment of
those rights when they are infriugsd or as
sailed.
Can the President redeem this pledge by
Withdrawing from the colored people the
protection Of the government, and leaving
them to the violence which prevented so
many Of them from voting for his cleo
tion9 We tell the President that these
people are no soldiers. They are undoubt-
edly brave, and if enlisted into the regu-
lar army would make good soldiers. But
they have not the time or means, nor have
they the daily habit of using firearms
which prepares the Democracy for in
Simultaneous military service. We repeat
that the ability to go lhrough the manual
is not qualification FOX suffrage. In CON
