Not Altogether DEPRIVED.
MoNrGoMERY, August 9, 1881

MONTGOMERY, August 9, 1880.
Editor Chronicle:
The Natchitoches Register publish
es letter from correspondent rela-
tive to the killing of Harry Wheeler,
the negro who killed Mr.. Thos. Phil
lips, which states that his wife was
also found dead, and supposes that
she was thrown from horse and
killed. This version of the affair
leaves the matter in doubt as to the
cause of her death, and of course the
impression naturally occurs that she
was killed by the citizens in pursuit
of Wheeler. On the contrary from
this, Wheeler's wife is now living on
Little river, in Natchitoches parish.
The Registers correspondent was
misinformed of the affair. or pur-
posely added the statement of the
woman being killed merely for politi-
cal effect. thereby imposing upon the
Register, as we know that paper
would not put forth SANDER against
this people. We specially desire 1t
to be remembered that the citizens
of this parish have not SO far forgot
themselves as to kill woman under
any circumstances. I do not sup
pose there was citizen in pursuit Of
Wheeler who would not have killed
him upon sight, or the smallest ex-
cuse in the way of resistance, so
cowardly and unprovoked was the
murder. Tom Phillips was raised
here and was well known. He was a
brave man, and when the war opened
he volunteered, leaving here in Capt.
McCain's company OF the 18th Lou
isiana Volunteer Infantry. He served
through the entire war. and was
never known to shirk his duty as a
soldier. He was at the battles oi
Franklin, Peach Tree Greek, Nash
vile, Atlanta and many others. Ma
ior Mccain and others who served
with him state that it was notcri-
Gus fact that he seldom if ever missed
q roll call. or any part of bis duty.
As soldier he was brave to fault,
as citizen he was an exemplary
one. Why, then. should we not be

Chuck-Luck and Chuck Up.
Last week two buggies drove into

Last week two buggies drove into
Colfax. one of them containing
man and woman and the other two
men. The two first claimed TO be
man and wife. He was about thirty
years of age, she about twenty, and
they laid claim to the name of Page.
One Of the other men enjoyed the
euphonious title of Stubbleheld, and
we should Judge was about twenty
three years of age. Smith was the
assumed name of the last. a yonng
chap less than twenty, well known in
The town of Natchitoches. Upon in
auiry we learned Stubble6eld was an
agent selling books and pictures, and
had only met up with the others 'by
chance" Page had thousand or
two of dollars which he was willing
to risk in ga little game" commonly
known as "chuck-luck,' and Smith
and the woman were his "cappers."
Saturday morning Page opened in
style, and by the middle OF the after
noon had feeced the darkies out OF
a snug little sum, beside about fifty
dollars from some of our young men
who were foolish enough to bet at
the game. But the boys concluded
they didn't have fair play, and de-
termined to have their money back
again. SO party of them figured
up how much they were out. and
then called around and demanded
restitution Of $3S. Page tried to ar
que the point, but it was no go; be
had to disgorge.
We have not particle of sympa-
thy for the gambler, young men, but
your action was altogether wrong in
the eyes OF the law. You should be
sensible enough to keep clear of al
such games. However, this occur
renee may tend as a warning to the
"bunko" fraternity to give us a wide
berth hereafter, and it will serve .
good purpose after all. Keep lool
} out for these swiudling sharpers il
the other parishes. From here the.
went north toward Montgomery.

New Orleans Christian Advocate.

New Orleans Christian Advocated
Now that the Presidential candi-
dates are supposed to be all right,
rome attention should be paid to the
candidates for Congress. The Con-
gressional elections are scarcely less
important than that for President.
We need sober, honest and pure men
10 the balls of the National Legisla-
tnre. In this matter there should be
no blind following Of the political
machine, or blind subservIency to the
nominating conventions. If mans
morals are bad, if he be Incorporate,
lcentious, pro.ane, venal, it is not
fitting that a Christian should vote
for bim. He is not fit to represent
us IN Congress. or anywhere else.
The character of Congress can be
purified if tho moral and religious
people viii do their duty. Let the
politicians understand that ChristiaD
men will not hesitate to sacrifice
their party, rather than their re-
llgion. aud there will be more care
fitness in the nominating conven-
tions. The public aud private char
acter are both to be considered, and
those who come before the people
for their suffrage must submit to the
ordeal, and have record that is
free from personal blemish az well as
political obliquity.
