Rsg@ The attention Of tho Re-
publican delegation who recently
waited on the Governor with re-
card to the Natchitocnes troubles
is called to the recent murder OF
Capt. John G. Peck, in Tensas.
Can't. Peck was on peaceful mis-
sion to Alfred Fairiax-one OF tie
Radical candidates for Congress IN
the Fifth District-and the Tensas
NEGROES, to demonstrate with them
upon their ill>advised coarse in at
tempting to revive the color line in
politics. He was set upon ana
foully bu,chcrcd. OF course, such
an event has aroused and excited
the entire parish. The negroes are
defiant and indulge in the most
reckless and extravaganza threats
and the authorities have been com
nelled to have recouI Sc 10 the state
troops IN other parishes to enforce
the process of law and arrest the
mur2ercrs.
