A special from Galveston, Oct. IL,
says: VIM. P. Longley, generally
known as Bill Longley, was execu-
ted here to day in the presence of q
vast crowd for the murder of Wilson
Anderson IN March 1873. L0ngley
made speech from the gallows ask
ing forgiveness of those whom he
had injured and warning his hearers
to forego revenge, as it was the pas
siOn which brought him to tho
scafold. Longley was noted des-
perado. He had killed eight men
six whites and two negroes, besides
shouting several others who sur
yiyed.

The precedent established by the
Republican party Of selecting white
candidates, some If whom have no
sympathy with negro rule, is we'll
calculated to cause divisions among
the white people, and eventually ts
place the power In the hands of the
Republicans party. Those who ac-
cept the nominations, without being
aware 1T it, become estnlngsd from
their own people, and a white mans
government, and gradually indenti-
fy themselves with the party which
is working in their interest For the
good of society and the happiness
and prosperity of both races it is alb
soiuteiy necessary that AL efectuai
stop should be put to such move
ments. Unless 1t 10 done. there viii
be numbers of white citizens who
will pipe-lay for Republican nomi-
nations or Endorsements, which
amounts of the same thing. Such a
course. If persisted in, and success
fully carried out, will place the State,
rs well as the parish, in the hands Of
the Radical party.

Importance Of Registering
and Voting.

Geo. II. Wells, Of Calcasieu, was
nominated for State Senator by the
Democrats of the 10th Senatorial
District recently. Mr.. Wells ia a
leading member of the Lake Charles
bar; IL man of prominence and ability.
The Echo says:
las this is the first time in her
thirty-tive years history that Calca-
sieu has been honored by the nomi-
nation ct one of her citizens for a
district office, we feel confident that
she will give MIR. Wells $500 majori-
ty. She will give him over 1000 ma
jority if there is full registration
and vote, because she is entitled to
registration of over 300 votes,
and has never yet polled ninety Re-
publican votes.
"Over 1000 majority if there is a
full registration and vote" Omin-
Gus words! The 500 votes that the
Echo fears will fab short in one
parish. BY negligence, might secure
rs Burke as State Treasurer, or send
Acklin back to Congress. And for
the want of one Democratic vote in
Congress. II Democratic President
might be defeated, for there is an
idea prevalent that the next Con-
gress detected this year, pay have
To elect the next President. The
Democracy of Louisiana have no
votes To lose. We want full Demo-
cratic delegation from this State in
the Forty sixth Congress. Let the
friends of Gibson, Ellis, Ackliu,
Elan, King, Young and Robertson,
see to it that not Democratic vote
is lost. Parishes may feel safe Ms to
their local tickets; but more is ex-
pected of them. The redemption of
Louisiana, complete and permanent.
is demanded of the Democratic Con-
sentative votes of the State. Look
tn Congress Had Grant have had
a Radical Congress to sustain him in
1876. no one knows what Louisiana
might have had to endure. We
want no such men as Mat Wells and
John L. Labelling to misrepresent us
ut Washington. Let us register and
vote them down.-Bossier Banner.
