Judicial Outrage.

Natchitoches has just undergone, or
israther now undergoing her quote
II Hayes "Southern policy" This
policy differs from Grants, inasmuch
- the machinery Of tho army 10 laid
',side and that Of the judiciary substi-
tIted.
Failing to overawe, intimidate or
'nrrorize the Southern white men
with troops, recourse is being had to
United States Marshals. 1t remains
'" Le seen what superior effacacy the
'"tter possesses over the former.
On Sunday, one Bannon, United
Ssates Deputy Marshal arrived here
With bis posse of three. The Chief
~as, Of course, drunk; and IN that
condition prepared to execute the
will Of his masters to the letter.
What il that duty, judging from
their acts on the groundi
Simply to strike as much terror a,
'''eir duty(i) will allow them. This
IL patent from the fact that citizens of
var city visited him, and stated that
tIte parties for whom he had warrants
would promptly report for arrest if
'assr names were given. This, he most
'ositively refused to do; accompany
ing that refusal with a braggadocio
';stoment: that he twas going to
'sske the arrests unless he was killed

Backing Down.

We are told that Hayes has weak
ened on tho bloody-shirt element Of
Tho North, and that public sentiment
In that section was not ripe for re-
turn Of sectional politics. If such il
tho case, which We see no reason to
doubt, We owe nothing to the Demo.
cratic papers of the North for this
back down. On the contrary, they
encouraged ito renewal, and many
Of them wero 40 vociforous in our
denupeiatioa a. tho Republican jour.
mails.
We publish elsewhere an extract
from tho Cincinnati (Ohio) Enquirer,
a. a specimen of Democratic "slush'
,. north of tho Ohio river. The Enquirer
has never risen to tho dignity of un-
derstanding the questions at issue in
this country. Violations of funda-
mental law could be fully rectiaed,
and tho violators punished, BY the
enactment Of wild money scheme
20 said and acted the Enquirer. In
fact, Mr.. Vance, NJ. c., from that
State told tho writer in 1876, that the
Enquirer with it's idiotic notions had
eost the Democracy the State of
Ohio more than once.
We desire our readers to observe
carefully, that part Of the Enquirer's
article which We have italicised, where
Il 10 intimated that the loss of a few
congressman South, would have been
desirable by tho Democracy North.
Now, we assert that this was the
"plan" of the Northern Democracy.
They have never yet had the spunk
to make an honest square issue with
Radicalism. They have, on the con.
trary, met every charge of the enemy
by temporiziDg and apology. Even
this year, our District was marked
down a. Republican, notwithstand-
ing the fact, that ever since 1872, We
had elected q Democrat. Can tho
purpose of that "marking down" be
mistaken I Hayes was to be appeased
by tho return of Wells to Congress,
and che white men and honest peo-
pc Of the 4th Congressional District
If the Commonwealth of Louisiana
were expected to do The dirty work of
lhs Northern dough face!
But enough. These details are
''ekening, but they are truthful new
'rtbeless, and 60 to make up the rea.
IONS for tho defeat of the Democracy
ia the North.

Arrest of Loyal and Law bid'
ing Citizens.


Deputy Ma1shals Cul'nm, Casey
and Mullen, arrested, on Tuesday
last at Cloutierville, 80 miles below
this, seven of our best citizens. They
are DR.. 5. O. Scruggs, Messrs. VIM.
Airhart, J. r. Racial, Manuel Buard,
E. Mason, James johnson and Wash
Cock6eld.
The affidavits disclose tho fact that
Hornsby has had these parties arrest
cd upon tho charge of "preensing
him from voting for a member of
Congress-" The character of Horns
by is 50 very notorious that all good
people are shocked that the machine
~ of a judiciary should DO let to an
outcast of his kind, in order that de-
cent people should be trampled upon
and outraged.
'Here are brave souls that can vic with
the SPARTAN
Loyal and true as e'er monarch could
orave;"
but deep sense pervades them, that
foul wrong has been perpetrated in
tho name Of law, against, not the
gentlemen arrested, who are person
ally Inconvenience aud dragged
from their homes and business, but
the whole community.
No one in this parish ever ordered
Hornsby off; no one ever prevented
him from voting for any candidate,
and the reason for his departure is,
that he fled from fear Of arrest for at
tempting to kill citizen in a private
difficulty, 'chich had no connection with
politics ,chateuer.
The prisoners speak in terms of
praise of the conduct of Messrs. Cul-
lum, Casey and Mullen, the Marsllals,
who had opportunity and did learn of
what character Hornsby was.

Three of the Deputy United States
Marshals who camo up last week are
not to be included in the charge Of
drunkenness and rowdyism. Messra
Cullom, Mullen and Casey, the three
accompanying, discharged their duty,
disagresable and outrageous as it is, in
a gentlemanly manner, and their con
alteration for tho feelings of their fel-
low American citizens has been re-
ciprocated by kind treatment at the
hands of our people.

1t seems that the prosecuted peo-
pie throughout tho would furnish from
their numbers the material with
which tyrants outrage their victims.
Ireland, the down trodden minion of
Great Britain-tbe theme of story
and of story furnishes her quota of
of Marshale, to dog and halass the
down trodden and wronged South ;
but, like the struck eagle, we view in
the fatal dart that now is buried in
our bosom, our own feather. South
ern white men arresting at the beck
of Northern masters, their own blood
and civilization!
Would man believe it !?
Yes, it's 80 and they claim to be

minds, their conduct upon the sicken-
ing plea Of "question of bread
Judas plead in bar for his crime,
which these men but initiate, that it
was for tho support of the Apostles
that he betrayed his Savior.
The civilized world scorns his apol-
ogy.
Can there be any excuse framed for
men who, for any reason, would lend
themselves as prosecutors of their
