Letter from senator Brian.

Big CREEK, July 1, 1880.
Editor Chronicle:
l see in your issue of June 9Th that
/ am accused of selling out to the
Lottery Ring. The charge is undue
and unjust in every particular, and l
hope that no Senator has been SO
unjust as to bring against me SO base
a charge without cause. Believing
the author of the rumor to be 20
htical enemy, and holding such in
great contempt, / would not stoop to
motto, the matter at all but for the
satisfaction of those Of my constitu-
ents who may have misunderstood
my motives. Therefore l will give
you a correct report of the affair as
it stands upon the official journal.
In the journal of March 9th you
will see my name recorded in favor
of the general lottery bill. On the
call of the vote l voted no, but be-
fore the vote was announced / chang
ed my vote from no to yes, to avoid
censure, having voted for the passage
of the bill 10 its third reading, be-
lieving at the time that the constitu-
ton required it; but upon closer
examination of article l67 of the
constitution 1 decided that it was
not obligatory. Hence you will find
my vote recorded against Senator
Marston's amendment, endeavorine
to incorporate into the general Ii
cense bill a lottery license, which
believed to be unconstitutional, ano
which would have necessitated an ex
ira session, (the House having voted
down the same amendment by ,
large majority. brought heavy ex
pense upon the people. and disgrac'
upon the State. / voted with pur,
motives upon the whole affair, ant
no man has any right TO impugn m.
motives or question my manner il
voting upon this question. No maj
has ever dared to offer me money o
anything else as compensation TO
voting upon this question either way
and | hope that whoever has attempt
ed to injure me without cause ma
be governed by as pure motive
through all the transactions of lif
as was when voting upon this bill.
The people whom / represent az
as noble and intelligent as any of th
State, and when l vote l reflect thei
sentiments, and no man dare question
the right. l served them throug
the 6rst session, | hope, upon prin
ciples of honesty and integrity, an
I hope to serve them so for the re
mainder of the term for which l wa
elected, irrespective of the opinion
of politicians and tricksters. BIZ. B.

s'choose sides" and then the fun be-
gan. One after another went down
until only one remained standing on

A Negro Kills a White Man.

MIR. Thomas Phillips, q well to do
and respected citizen of this parish,
met tragic death last Tuesday, at
his place, some six miles north OF
Montgomery, near the line OF VIM
parish. The particulars are about
as follows: A negro by the name OF
Harry Wheeler was employed on Mr..
Phillips place. Wheeler's wife com
menced to abuse Mr.. Phillips, when
he turned to Wheeler and told him
to make her shut up, which Wheeler
tried to do, but the woman kept on.
Mr.. Phillips then said be would make
her hold her tongue if Wheeler did
not, AND picked up a switch and
started to strike her with it, when
Wheeler. who had stood with gun
in his hand all the time, without q
word of warning, shot him in the
back of the head with load OF small
shot, killing him instantly. From
the circumstances, it is believed that
it was a made up agreement between
Wheeler and his wife to kill MIR.
Phillips. Great excitement prevails
in and around Montgomery, and q
posse of from thirty to forty men
have been out all the week bunting
for the negro, but so far without sue
cess. He is described as dark grit
or ash black, about 6 feet high. toler
ably square built, about 100 pounds
rather high cheek bones. thin face
long chin, thin beard, heavy thicl
hair, low forehead, is SO badly rup
tured as TO be plainly visible. Tn
arrest of this man is very much de
, sired, and it is requested that sharl
! look -out be kept for him in adjoining
{ parishes. He is said to be mos
malignant and cruelty vindictive in
dividual. Mr.. Phillips leaves vii
and several small children.
