PRESIDENT HAYES INAUGURAL
ADDRESS.

The noble address delivered by
President Hayes upon assuming the
executive chair will meet the hearty
approval of all his countrymen who
regard the pernlanence of our Insu-
buttons and the healing Of the still
fostering wounds caused by the late
civil war--upon basis of justice to
alias of paramount Importance to
the success of mere party schemes.
No words of ours can add to OF de-
tract from the just and patriotic SEN
timents of the new President, but we
deem it a privilege and duty to ex-
press our humble concurrence in the
ringing truths of his address. And
we have confidence that the honesty
and strength of purpose with which
President Hayes is endowed, will en-
able him to carry out the policy fore
Swallowed in his inaugural speech, in
spite of all opposition which can be
arrayed against it.
He has spoken like man who loves
his country and its people; we have
an abiding faith that his deeds will be
in harmony with his words-that the
close of his administration will find the
solid South and solid North blended
into a solid nation, with peace and
perfect harmony prevailing among its
people, founded upon the enduring
rock of the brotherhood of man, and
universal recognition of the doctrine
of equal rights proclaimed in the con
stitution framed by our torefathers.
The signs of the times point to a
realization of this happy augury and
to the participation of large major,
ity of the Southern people in the work
necessary to bring about consum-
nation fraught with such great bless
ings to our common country.

An alteration between white and
colored man at Jeannerette, Iberia
parish, last week, created considerable
excitement and led to an assemblage
of body of whites in town and a
body of blacks a short distance away,
each expecting an attack from the
other but neither intending to make
an aggressive movement. The inevi-
table 3" war of races seemed about
to begin, and sensational dispatches
to this effect were sent in all direc-
tons, but the scare soon died away
and the peaceful citizens of Jeanner-
cite and vicinity meekly returned to
their homes, conscious perhaps of
having made themselves somewhat
ridiculous for want of little calm
judgment and Investigation.

A COWARDLY CRIME.

FranCisVllle-- N clue to the Perpe-
traitors"
Another of those cold blooded mur-
ders traceable only to political rea-
sons, for which portions of Louisiana
have become UNANIMOUSLY conspicuous,
occurred at the town of st. Francis
Vile, parish of West Feliciana, on
Wednesday last. d. A. Weber, a
leading Republican and ex-Tax Col
lector of the parish, was shot down
without Il word of warning, as he was
walking along the street about 3
O'Clock in the afternoon on his way
to dinner. He had just left the store
of his brother in law, Mr.. Jules Con
dram, and was passing burying
ground at point opposite the Court
House, when four or five shots were
fired in rapid succession from an open
window i'll the lower story of that
building, and Mr.. Weber fell forward
upon his face, into the gutteralongside
the banqLette, stone dead. Exami-
nation showed that eight buckshot
had lodged in his body, one passing
through tle heart, one entering the
head directly between the eyes,
one in the shoulder, one in the
left wrist and four others in the left
side. A number of balls were found
in the vicinity fattened against the
tombstones or railing of the iron fence
around the cemetery.
A Coroner's inquest was held, but
Notwithstanding the time of day, the
public character of the building from
which the shots were fred, and the
number of persons evidently partici-
pating in the tiendish assassination,
the latest information which we have
received is that no clue had yet been
discovered by the Coroner or his jury
which could lead to the detection of
the perpetrators. 1t remains to be
seen whether the offer of reward of
$1,000 by each of our Governors, an
nounced by proclamation i'll the city
papers of yesterday, will sharpen the
scent of the local authorities. We do
not anticipate that it will, or that the
murderers viii ever be brought to
punishment. There is too much pre-
cedent against such contingency
and absolutely none in it's favor-for
Mr.. Weber was leading Republican.
The fear of meeting his fate would
doubtless deter any witness of. the
deed from divulgipg the names of
the assassins.
Those who have been intimate with
Mr.. Weber in West Feliciana assert
their belief that, beyond the bounds
of political prejudice, he had not an
open enemy in the community. His
genial and gentlemanly department
towards all with whom he came in
contact, his active interest in projects
calculated to advance the welfare of
the locality and its inhabitants, and
his manifold acts of charity and be-
nevolence, challenged the respect of
all and won him the warm esteem
of many whose political opinion diff
fered from his own. In other places
and under other conditions of society
this circumstance would not be
deemed in apywise remarkable, bnt
it is SO ID Felieiana.

Mr.. George S. Lacey United States
District Attorney for Louisiana vice
VIM. Beckwith. The removal OF the
latter gentleman was a surprise to
himself and friends, as he was be-
lieved to stand high in the confidence
of the administration, as he certainly
deserved to do. Mr.. Beckwith as
cribes his removal to the influence OF
the cotton and whisky rings, While
rumor associates Senator West with
the transaction. We believe it can be
truly said of Mr.. Beckwith that he
exercised the functions of his position
without fear or favor, never swervlng
from the path which his conscience
told him was that of right and duty,
He retires from the service OF the
government leaving a clean record
behind him.

A case has been for some weeks
pending before the Supreme Court
of South Carolina-concerning the
pardon of a convict by Gov. Hamp-
ton-which involves the titles of the
rival State governments. A decision
was to have been rendered last week,
but Chief Justice Moses was confined
to his bed with illness and Associate
Justices Wright and Willard could
not reach an agreement, the latter
being favorable to Hampton. the for
mer to Chamberlain. To cOmplicate
the matter still more, the Chief JUS
tice has since died and Justice Wright
has secretly left the capital, claiming
to be in fear of his life, which is said
to be threatened by Democrats. South
Carolina is afflicted with just about
