Jail.
Charles Johan Hanson is, as we have
stated, the illegitimate eon of Hans Oleson.
He came here a week or two previous to the
death of his father, from Norway. His
father sent for him, representing his posses
sions to be a fine farm. There is such q diff
ference between fine farms in Norway
and fine farms in Dakota that the young
man was dissatisfied after his arrival here,
and wanted to return to the father land.
Want of means prevented this, and the the
Org is that lie made way with the old gen.
tleman, thinking he could come into imme-
diate possession of his property, sell it and
get away. Mr.. Oleson's papers were all
found in his possession, and his explanation
of this is that his father gave them to him
for safe keeping.
These are the facts and theories in the
case, 30 far as anything has developed.
Hanson was brought before Justice White
this afternoon, and his examination ad.
journed to Wednesday afternoon.

Our parish Convention having de.
clared in favor of q constitutional
convention, We have heard the re-
mark several times made that this
action would have tendency to drive
tue co]ored voters away from u.s..
Pray why not inform Us also when
have they ever known the mass Of
the colored voters to show a DISPOSE
tion to affiliate with us' Abandon a
constitutional convention simply be-
cause it is dlspleasing to a few Re-.
publicans who have not, nor ever
had tho remotest idea to cooperate
with us When, in the name of God
will our people cease to be 90 con .
foundedly anxious about tho colored
vote. The Democratic party dares
do nothing, no policy can be adopted {;
no fixed principles tixed upon but ali
these things must be trimmed to suit
the idea Of the colored people. If an
honorable man and a life long Demo.
crat is mentioned in connection with
office, up goes the warning finger and
the fellow creeps up to you 'and in a
whisper breathes into your ear the
astonishing information he can't con-
troll any miggers. Well, what if he
cannot ! Is it not about the best as
surance that he can depend upon,
and secure the support Of white men,
at least. We have some colored men
10 the Democratic party Of this parish,
and they are tried and true. False
rumors cannot shake their faith, nor
will lies lessen their esteem for the
Democratic party and the men com.
posing it. So cease this nauseating
twaddle which has become stale and
disgusting and ls unworthy great
party. Pay no attention to those
dyspeptic political trimmers who al
ways have an eye upon, and never
neglect to exclaim "pigger in the
wood d-pile.
