A FATAL ARRAY,
shreveport Times, 9th.

lOHIc'ePOlt Althcs, ~4ln'
On Friday evening last fatal af.
fray occurred between Ben Talbert
and Wylie; Holmes, some eight miles
northwest of Keachi, in which, both
were killed. The parties were broth
ers-in-law, Holmes having married
Talbert's sister, who died a few
months ago. A family difficulty ex-
listed and it seems the parties had not
met for some time, although the
families live in the same neigh
borhood. On the day of the killing
they we're in the woods hunting deer
each with a party of companions.
In the evening it CHANGED that they
met in the road when Talbert told
Holmes to halt, and leveled his gun
on him. Holmes Immediately raised
his gun and both fired about the same
time, both shots taking effect. They
then djsmounted and fired a second
time with similar result. Talbert
fell in the road, bnt Holmes walked
to the house Of Mr.. Lambeth, also T.
brother.in-law of Talbert, about two
hundred yards distant, and fell on
the front steps. A few moments after
Talbert came to the same house.
stepped over Holmes, opened the door
and asked for gun to finish his
work, and almost Immediately fell.
Both died a few minutes afterwards.
Holmes was about twenty.one years
of age and Talbert about nineteen.
The families of both are highly res.
.pectable, and the terrible tragedy is
much deplored IN the community.
So far as we could learn, public senti-
ment was in favor of Talbert.n

the Northern Republicans to-day.
And yet they forced upon the
South an immense mass of voters
who had neither property nor edu-

give the Republican party power
in those States and in the general
government. They see at last that
they are to be hOistcd by their

them to retreat.

Donaldsonville had been sold by the
present owners to the NO. Pacific Rail-
way Company. If this is indeed the case
a matter of much importance to this
town and parish has been settled to our
advantage. The N. O. P. Company has
been for some months steadily prosecu-
ting the work of constructing their pro-
posed road, having begun near Alexan-
dria and worked both ways, with a view
to placing New Orleans and Shreveport
in connection at the earliest possible day.
About the middle of November the force
of laborers grading in this direction had
reached point only fifteen miles from
Bayou Goula, and it became a question
of close interest to this section whether
the road would connect with our line,
or traverse the left bank of the river
from Bayou Goula to New Orleans, the
company's charter giving them the ri ght
to adopt either course. The selection of
the route depended upon the result of
the negotiations opened recently for the

preston Of regret that Blaine had
not brought forward some liberal
measure of education for the blacks
made Blaine vince and look as if
he had forgotten something. On
the whole the victory lay with the
Democratic champions. The big

Democrats all feel that the bloody

There was applause for both sides,

Blaine. 1t was we'll understood

Viewed from our Standpoint.

It seems strange that the North
ern Democrat should be so tlmld.
vacilating and infrm of purpose,
when, by such conduct, they have
lost a President elected by the
people.
With an opponent whose armor
is rent in an hundred places to let
out life, we find our allies over the
Potomac and Ohio, trembling at
the believing of Blaine and the
clatter of the Tribune, instead OF
posing lance'and impaling an en-
emy that needs buta rigorous push
to collapse.
It may be possible that the
Northern Democracy imagine we
do not understand them ; we has
fen to assure our friends that a
further exhibition OF "the hiding
Ostrich" is unbecoming. We see it
all, and beg that they "leave OH
their damnable faces and begin"
The World leads the gold Dem
ocrats and claims the brains OF
Democracy for New York or the
East while the Enquirer, of Gin
cinnati, is equally emphatic that
it's the West should lead. To keep
the poise regulated, these people
indulge in "side-wipes" at the
South, and cater to the expression
of radical journals and politicians
that "there's danger in a solid
South"
If the truth must be told, the
South, as a South, has but little
respect for either party North
We are solid simply in the interest
Of self protection and constitutions
al liberty. We have some conf
dence in Northern Democrats be-
cause they appear to have a ling
ering respect left for a helpless
people. For the Republicans we
have an undying hostility, because
they are infamous in everything
The Democratic party North, as
at present constituted, is an army
Of resolute men, with commanders
and staff who don't know how to
set squadron in the field; and
when, by luck, they tumble on a
victory are frightened into yield
Ing it up by the clamor OF a de-
feated enemy. TO make the mat
ter sworse confounded." OHIO
and New York are each shell
benW on furnishing the Presl-
dent, and if they don't, they are
prepared TO "slaughter the party
at all hazards;;" for be it remem-
berel that both are equally deter
mined that Democracy shall only
succeed by electing an Ohio and
New York man to the Presidency.
AS we can't elect both at once,
our chances of electing either, or
,ifelected, getting him seated, are
slim indeed. In fact, the Cincin-
.nati Enquirer, rather than the
President should not be an
a"Ohio man." is satisfied with a
Republican, and rather prefers
one to an Eastern Democrat. In.
deed, the Enquirer is full Of praise
for Hayes the cheater, and its de-
nunciation, of Tlden the cheated, is
hckening to honest people.
In our opinion, the success of
our. party does not depend upon
the man nominated-the Enquirer
End its Western allies think so:
= : does it depend upon a hard or
soft .s>pey issue-the World and
10 Has'"sn friends are so inclin-
