Two MEN KILLED AND Two WOUND
ED.-A riot over the sheriffalty at Coffee
vile, Miss, last Saturday resulted in
the killing of two men-one white and
one colored-and the severe wounding
Of two white men. The difficulty arose
in consequence Of some bad blood gene
rated at political meeting.
St. Landry democrat., 1880-08-28

twill be well for the people Of this
country to remember that four years ago
Garfield was conspicuously concerned
in the preparation of the great fraud,
by which their will was reversed and a
candidate not elected was seated in the
Presidential chair. He was visiting
statesman who helped the infamous Re-
turning Boards to fix up the dirty job by
which Hayes was counted in, and was
one of the doubly infamous eight on the
Electoral Commission. Remember this.

| Claim to craftsmanship" a rampant,
bloody shirt, blatherskite sort of Radi-
cal, who calls himself Emerson Bentley,
attempts to show, in the course of a
long article credited to him in a Re-
publican paper, that Gen. Hancock can
lay no claim whatever to craftsmanship,
nor is he even entitled to any credit for
the performance Of a solitary merito-
rious act whilst in the discharge of his
| duties as commander of the Fifth Mill
| tary District inst at the close of the war.
He violently assails Hancock's famous
| order No. 40, which he unsparingly criti-
cises, and has the unblushing etfrontery
to intimate that the General went be-
yond his legitimate duties when he is
| sued that ever memorable order And
furthermore, as if to give the finishing
touch to his rancor against the South
and the Southern people, this shreking
fanatic of the bloody shirt persuasion
boldly intimates that the Military Dis
tricts at the South were created solely
to Cypress, prosecute, and harrass it's
people by way of punishment for their
past secession ideas, and that Gen. Han
cock, in dealing mildly and lumanely
with the so-called rebellious people of
Louisiana and Texas, was guilty of all
open breach of trust, and committed a
gross, fragrant violation of the plain line
of duty marked out for him 10y his supe-
riors at Washington city.
1t is difficult to conceive how a man
like Emerson Bentley, who has been liv-
ing here in the South for long time,
and who is consequently thoroughly IA
miliar with the beneficial effects pro-
duced by Gen. Hancock's mild yet firm
administration asregards the civil affairs
Of the military department Of Louisiana
and Texas, can conscienciously enter
tain such ultra-we may say rabid-rad-
ical views as expressed above. He may
be honest in his convictions, but the
devil take such convictions. Fora Lou
isiana Radiator, rather, for North
ern Radical living in Louisiana-it is
safe to say that Emerson Bentley stands
head and shoulders above the most VIC
lent Radical of the whole Radical tribe
north of Mason and Dixon's line. The
foaming New York Tribune and the
vindictive Chicago Inter Ocean are mild
in their advocacy of Radicalism COM
pared to this man from Louisiana.

The Truth Precisely.-Every-
body Read 1t!

from a Speech by THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, at
Marion, 1ndiana
"Garfield's nomination means the en-
"dorsement and approval in the most
positive and offensive manner posi-
" BILE of the Presidential fraud OF 1861.
He had more to do with it than any
other man, and was the only man who
occupied toward it a double relation.
" After the election Garfield went to
" New Orleans by request of Gen. Grant
=" without authority of law, as a parti
" san. He went there to assist his party
+" in making up a case, and after his re-
turn to Washington, Of all his asso-
ciates he was the only man who took
" his seat upon the Electoral Commits
-" sion. BY every sentiment of fair play
" he should have been excluded from
the jury box. BY his own sworn state
ment of what he did in New Orleans,
" Garfield had charge of the returns
" from West Feliciana parish. In one
of the inner rooms of Packard's Gus
tom House he did his work, examined
" the affidavits, and when they were not
" sufficiently full, he prepared or had
prepared additional heterogeneous to
bring them within the rules adopted
" by tho Returning Board. The test-
moDy, so received by Garfield, went
" back to the Returning Board, anu the
"result was that West Feliciana with
" its Democratic majority was thrown
"Out. In Washington, Garfeld's vote
-" was that Congress could not go behind
" the returns thus made. As agent for
" his party he helped to make returns
" by manipulating the evidence; and as
"juryman for the nation he held such
evidence as conclusive and binding"
And now we ask candid world, Is
Garfield made of the right kind of ma
terial for President of the United States9

SENATOR SALIsBURY's bill, lately in
troduced into Congress, to provide for
the same secrecy in telegraphic messages
that is now accorded to letters is one
that it is difficult to see why any one
should oppose. A mans letters are held
to be sacred thing that the officers of
the law even In the detection of crime
can not invade, and the protection of
this right is one of the safeguards of per-
sonal liberty that in the present state of
public enlightenment could not be re-
linquished without stirring society to its
foundations Why telegraphic messages
should be regarded otherwise, from the
simple fact that they are necessarily
transmitted to their destination through
the offices of an operator, we are
unable to see. The publishing or
betraying Of their contents seems to
US to be as gross a violation Of
trust as that Of lawyer or doctor who
should talk Of his clients or patient pro-
fessional secrets. It has been weakly
urged that if telegraphic messages were
made inviolable that criminals and 9TH
ers would use them for unworthy pur-
poses. Because criminals sometimes
write letters that may presumably be
thought to possess guilty secrets is no
reason why the law should break the seal
since the right to do 50 would necessarily
expose the proper secrets Of honest men
to the same scrutiny. The former ex-
orbitant changes for the transmission Of
intelligence by the telegraph have been
enormously lessened and will be stiN
