In referring to tho killing Of four colorod
men in Monroe and vicinity on the night OF
tho tcnth, by q number Of unknown men, the
TeieUraph Of tho eighteenth says: "Wo have
heard Wild and vague stories, of Il sensational
character, which we will not print because
they have no lit place In this paper. The 7Hte-
grdph condemns these acts of laWlessness,
and that Is enough. Life and liberty are
precious hoOns, and no reckless disregard OF
either VIII be tolerated III thcS0 Columns:
The process ucrbnt made by tho coroner Is
published after the above comments. Ihe
cavacade which passed through Monroe and
killed Dan Hill. colored was varlously estim-
ated at from seventy-fivo to 800. Herman
Bell, coored, was killed near tho city, and
Sam Wallace and Joshua Hall were killed on
Pargouds lower place about two miles below
Monroe. Neither u horse nor man was
known. Ono of tho witnesses, who was sitting
on h gallery talking to one OF tho men who
was shot, testified 'that he could not say
whether they were white or black. .'-lshrove-

The ugly little cloud that hung over our
parish but few days since, and endangered
tho lives and property Of our citizens, has
happily melted away, and now our sky is
again clear and serene. Those who expected
place and power on the strength Of the color
line, or those who expected to ride into Office
ON the wave of excitement, gotten up by their
own insane desire for political advancement,
have been equally disappointed Ever since
the ticket at tho head of our columns was
nominated and published the accossions to
the ranks Of the Conservatives have daily and
hourly increased, until their name has
become legion. Daylight clubs have
taken the place of the old Radical,
midnight oath-bound associations, and
now men have no longer need to seek
darkness rather than light, because their
deeds are evil. The coming election In this
parish will present the spectacle Of Intelligent
and respectable colored men marching to the
polls, and there casting open and Conserva-
tive votes as freely and Independently as their
white felow-ctizens have heretofore done
The ablest most Intelligent and respectable
colored men Of the parish have put their
shoulders to the wheel and are doing yeoman
service rs public speakers and organizers We
reiterate our prophecy, that the ides Of No
yember will witness Il Conservative triumph
i'm this parish, which will make it the banner
parish Of the State In q political, as it has
heretofore been In an agricultural sense
