beck, the people OF our state re-
sumed the reins Of power.
Never has this party triumphed
save through force and fraud.
Having now no longer the United
States army at its support it de-
spairs of success under the old
name and appears before us as the
National party"
The New Orleans Democrat of
Sunday and Monday last published
the entire records Of the 'sNative
American Association" containing
literal copy of the minutes of every
meeting, names of members, officers,
and all resolutions and reports of
committees. I advise your readers
to obtain copies of the Democrat of
the Goth and 21st and read these
proceedings attentively. They will
find this "Native American Associa-
ton" to be composed of the most
prominent members of the Republi-
can party, both white and colored.
They will find that the members Of
this association are the leading
members of the National party OF
the State; that they are assisted by
the money of the customhouse; that
Tie members are bound by a solemn
oath to ostracize all foreisn-born
citizens, and not to trade with Oh
employ any one who is not mem
Der of their association. Further
more, they will find that they have
resolved to use force and bloodshed
to carry their ends. They resolved
to seize the ballot boxes if the cleo
ton went contrary to their wishes,
and appointed select body of men,
known as the Red Warriors, who
were to assassinate those who were
in the way of the association. Like
the Republican'+party of old, they
recognize but one way of carrying
the election-by force and fraud.
Some time ago branch of the
"Native American Association" was
organized at Bayou Lacombe, in
this parish, by Mr.. Toomer, who
calls himself an Independent candi-
date for Representative. This week
the same gentleman organized a
club of Nationals OF the same
place. 1t will be seen on the 9Th OF
November how many of the intelli-
gent voters of this parish will coun-
tenance a party which hopes to
gain power by fraud and assassina-

1t is one-story frame building, just be-
low the Volksblatt Office, where the self
murder occurred.
For some time previous to this day the
neighbors had often heard shots fired which
seemed to emanate from Kramer's premise4
On investigation they found that Moses had
erected target in the yard, at which he
had been firing.
Questioning him, he stated that he had
been firing at rats and not at the target. At
the same time the people noticed that he
had been respondent during the past few
weeks and that he had been complaining Of
being sick. Mr.. Kramer, vino had been
stopping with his wife and children, two
young boys, at Pfeiffer's Hotel corner Of
Vine and Ninth streets, had also often com
planned to his wife that he was very sick
and respondent.
This morning he came down to the store,
267 Vine street, in the same despondent
condition. After fdgeting around for same
time and giving directions to the boy, lsa&c
Cohen, how to manage the business for the
day, he went to the clubhouse, in the rear
of the store, about twenty minutes after IL
o'clock
A few minutes afterwards Cohen heard
the report of pistol, and his suspicious
being aroused he ran towards the plseB
where Mr.. Kramer had gone. He found
him sitting on the seat, his right arm sup
porting the body and his hand holding .
"Derringer."
Kramers shirt was unbuttoned and coy
cred with coagulated blood. On the right
temple terribly ugly wound was found,
from which the blood was oozing in tor

over to the right side, lowered his head and

The boy Cohen at once alarmed the neigh

cigar store.
The Coroner was notified and an inquest
ordered.
