MR.. J. FLOYDKING Objects

| Mr.. j. Floyd hing, Member OF Congress from
! the Vth Louisiana District, has written q letter
| 10 the President protesting against IN order Of
! Commissioner Raum, which allows the lntei nal
! Revenue Collector for that District TO use an
| armed force to protect himself and compel ODE
| ditnce to tho laws. Mr.. King says Laner, the
| Collector, is a violent man, who has more than
| once been engaged IN desperate bIos resulting
! IN The death of his antagonists and he asks,
with a pathetic and aggrieved tone, as though
| he were the spokesman of deeply injured but
submissive community "Shoud such a man
| be armed with authority to use troops or
armed men, in the midst of profound peace
against population observing the laws of
their country and busy in peaceful Occupa-
tons"
We should say not if the case were as M
story. He says he was attacked by mob and
narrowly escaped with his life, and that it is
not safe for him to return to the district to col
lect the revenue without protection. Mr..
Laner is a civil officer of the United States
Whether he has been engaged in personal
brois before he became such an officer is mt TO
the point. His business is to collect the reve-
Due, and If Mr. Kings constituents undertake
to prevent him from doing so because they don't
like his personal character or antecedents, or
because, as we suspect to be the truth he ran
for Congress on the Republican ticket.at the re-
cent election, they will have 10 deal with the
Government Of the United States. The proper
way for them to object to HIM as q public
official is by petitions sent to Washington, and
not by shOtguns pointed ut his person.
Remembering certain events which occurred
in the Win District only two years ago, in which
MIR. King took prominent part it seems to us
that he is hardly the proper person to protest
against the Use of armed men against pOpu-
"lation observing the laws of their country and
" busy in peaceful occupations" In 1873 Mr..
King was the Democratic candidate for Con.
gress. Opposed to him, the Republican can
ddate, was colored preacher named Fairfax,
a man OF excellent character, respected alike by
whites and blacks, who lived at Waterproof, in
the Parish of TcDsIs. The District was
strongly Republican, and on a fair vote Mr..
King had no chance OF election. On the 12ih
of October, at dusk, as Fairfax was sitting in
his house with his family and few friends,
he was attacked by gang or Democratic
rufiians, numbering tn OF twelve, fIOm the adj
Joining Parish OF Catalonia. commanded by q
saloon keeper named Peek. The attacking
party broke into the house, killed one of Fair
fax friends and wounded two others Fairfax
himself escaped. In the melee Peck himself
was killed by a chance shot from one OF his
drunken followers. This was on Saturday. On
the following Monday and Tuesday armed
shite men assembled in Tensas Parish, to the
number of over 500, some of them coming from
other parishes in the State and some from
across the river in Mississippi. Mr.. j. Floyd
King took command of this force. The armed

THE DRAMA.
BERNHARDT IN THE SPHINX.

This is one of the exhibitions that suggest the
stage in its possibly useless aspect. and make the
art OF acting seem trivial In every point of view
the play of The Sphinx is obnoxious 1t DISPLAYS
| a selfish, unpleasant, morbid kind of woman, As a
central figure; it tells licentious needlessly pain
full, and entirely proitess story and it terminates
with narrowing exposure of the physical agones
of death. There was no need for such play to be
written, and no good can possibly come from having
II acted. 1t rs, in certain sense, like n medical
lecture dreadful disease or horror that an
pertains to the dissecting-rOOm and that shouId
never be permitted to come abroad. 1t has no place
in art and noble force is degraded whenever act.
ing is devoted to the illustration of such subject
To dramatic powers used in this way is unayoid-
ably to reflect that the artist has been prompted by
an ignoblo impulse toward personal display rather
than by the high motive (which should always con-
troll artistic EFFORT Of universal interpretations The
right and true actor Is one who has q message of
meaning for other persons-something to reveal and
interpret from the great book of nature The actor
who seeks the public gaze merely for an exhibition
of self. is then necessarily trivial and the best
of actors may through vanity, sometimes stray into
this error.

men under his orders raIded the parish ioi
three days, and made it their business 10
shoot and hang people who were observing
athe laws of their country and busy in peacefui
occupations"
These unfortunate people were black men
and Republicans. How many were killed was
never definitely kno wn, but the evidence taken
before the Teller Committee in January, 1872
placed the number identified at twenty three.
The excuse for the massacre was that negro
rising to avenee the attack on Fairfax " as ap-
pretended by the whites but no evidence was
produced at the investigation to show that there
was any ground for such an apprehension. In
fact the history of the bloody affair made the
conclusion inevitable that the attempted muir
der of Fairfax and the subsequent shootlngs
and fangings of innocent cOlored men were the
results OF a desperate conspiracy to break up
the Republican party in Tensas Parish and IN
the With District. The conspiracy succeeded,
and Mr. King is now enjoying his share OF Its
fruits in the shape OF the pay and influence OF
member of Congress. Does it lie in his mouth
