Editor Lake Charles Echo:
An unfortunate cutting affray oc-
Cured on the 10Th instant between A.
Hodges and James Clark, in the zine
woods, a few miles west of Bagdad.
1t appears that Clark had been riding
Hodges horse, and had tied a bottle Of
whisky to the saddle; on relinquishing
the horse to Hodges, he endeasored to
recover the bottle by cutting the string
which fastened it to the saddle. A
swerve of the animal caused him to
fail in his object and TO cut the pants
and under clothing of Hodges, who,
springing from his horse, rushed upon
Clark. Both were wounded in the
affras which followed, Hodges recciy-
ing flesh wound, and Clark a danger
GUS stab in the abdomen. Both par
ties were under the influence Of liquor,
which was the entire cause of the
difficulty, as when sober, two more
quiet and inoffensiHe men could scarce
~ be found.
We are informed that the physician
who first saw Mr.. Clark, which was
not until two days after he was
wounded, found the wound a very
seriens one, and that it is likely to
prove mortal. 1t was an incised
wound in the abdomen, from which
the bowels protruded, and peritonitis
had already supefvened.

I Editor Lake Charles Echo:
! There has been much said and writ
ten IN reference to the action OF The
governors of the different States il
issuing the preclamations for day Of
thanksgiving for the recovery of the
President, in compliance with the
suggestion of Governor Foster, OF
Ohio. The governor of every State but
Texas has asseuted to the request, and
in SO doing they have certainly acted
very prematurely. From all the latest
reports from Washington the President
is not out of danger, but instead is
lowering on the verge of the grave.
Governor Roberts, of Texas, has been
terribly lalnpooned for declining to
Join all the others in recommending q
day be kept as one of rejoicing, when,
if the matter is looked at rightly, and
the present condition of the President
Is considered, he is the only one that
has acted wisely. There is no doubt
whatever that Governor Foster was
very glad that the President WAS not
killed outright, and SO was every other
good citizen, and if tile wound had
been slight it would have been proper
and right TO proclaim day of thanks
giving for his escape; but at this time,
and indeed ever since the subject was
the President has been hover
ing and hanging between life and
death.
it is plain to be seen that Governor
Foster had another object in view in
the proposition he did. lie
is a candidate for reelection this fall,
aud it is perfectly plain to any one
that he seized upon the act of shoot
ing, without killing the President. as
an opportunity for making political
capital, thinking, and no doubt rightly,
hat the move would gain to him many
totes. If this were not so, why did
le recommend that the day be set in
he coming fall and why did he sug-
rest that himself shouid be one of the |
committee to select the time? As mat
ers now stand it will be very proba-
lie that no day can be set, for it is
doubtful if the President RECEIVERS.
The caption of this is very good |
dvice at the present time in reference
o the proclamation. If the President
hould die, Governor Roberts, of Tex
S, is the only one of all that will not
eel that he acted hastily. NERIrAs.

PRESIDENT GARFIELD has had tw

PRESIDENT GARFIELD has had two
rclapses since our last issue, each of
which promised to terminate fatally.
Notwithstanding Guiteau's bullet, three
applications of the surgeons knife,
and the introduction (if newspaper
reports are true) of enough morphine
and quinine into his system TO have
killed fifty men, his wonderful vitality
and strength of will have carried him
through nearly sixty days of agony.
He has lost nearly sixty pounds in
weight, and is now very much pros
trated, yet there are faint hopes of his
ultimate recovery. May God grant that
these hopes may be realized.
LATEST. - Latest dispatches from
Washington, sent yesterday, render it
probable that the President died last
night, or will die to-day. Affecting of
intense sorrow pervades this com
munity, and the sympathy of the en-
tire country goes ont to his sorely
afflicted family.

The Pointe Gonpee Banner says
there was q negro riot on False River
in that parish on the night of the 1stl
inst. A party of young ladies and
gentlemen had assembled at the resi-
sdence of Mrs. J. B. Garon, and in q
building about one hundred feet dis
tant negro ball was being given.
About midnight, as the party at Mrs.
Garon's was about to break mp, a row
occurred among the negroes at the
neigliboring ball, and their curses he
came so fierce and noisy that MIR. T..
L. Ghenvcrt and three or four other
gentlemen, intending AIR. David john
son, who had permitted the negroes to
give the ball, went to the building
where the ball was being given, and
MIR. johnson informed the negroes that
If they could not preserve order they
would have TO leave the premises. The
latter, after brief consultation among
themselves, made rush on the white
men, and commenced firing at them
with pistols. The whites were I'M
armed, except MIR, johnson. Mr..
Chenrcrt snatched Mr.. Johnson's pistol
and fred one shot at the negroes, and
at the same time ONE of the negroes
shot Mr.. Ghenvert through the head,
killing him instantly. Mr.. johnson
ran to his house for his gun, among a
shower of bullets from the negroes,
and at the same time Joseph Garon,
aged Is wears, ran up to the crowd
with pistol, and was shot down by
The negroes. Mr.. johnson resappeared,
with his gun loaded with No. Z shot,
and fired both barrels at the negroes,
1t which the latter fed in every direc-
lion. Young Garon was shot twice,
,ut may recover. Several negroes were
lightly wounded with bird shot from
IiI. Johnson's gun. Sixteen negroes
we're placed in Jail, bst were all re-
eased except Val Dorval and Leopold
'olite, who were held to answer the t
barge of murder. Several of the most
nifty negroes escaped arrest, and in
ense excitement prevailed in Pointe
'oupee at latest adviees. c

been marvellous. This thoroughly dem
onstrates the generous spirit of our

the settlement of our thousands of
acres of fertile and unoccupied lands,
by equally industrious, honest and
generous citizens. We have an area

Orange was brown into intense ex-
citenent "Wednesday night by the
] shooting of George w. Michael, our
brave and gallant sheriff. and the kill
ing and hanging which followed as a
natural result of the rage and indigna-
fttion of the community. TO gfee min
ute details of the affair is impossible at
this writing. but below we present a
brief and as accurate a statement as
possible. /.
Shortly after dark, Sam. Saxon, col
ored, and two or three other negroes
made an assault upon white man,
Gus Carney, in the Sample Room Sa-
loon, several shots being fired. 1t
seems that Saxon had threatened to
shoot Garvey earlyin the evening and
that the latter had purchased a shot
gun to defend himself, but from some
cause did not use his gun successfully.
No one was hurt by the shooting.
Sheriff Michael and deputy Ferguson
were close by and started Immediately
in pursuit of the negroes, being joined
by three or four others. When the
posse reached a point just beyond Mr..
A Gilmer's residence and near negro
town, they ran suddenly upon the me-
groes, who, it appears, were lying IN
ambush, and in an instant the posse
was fired into, shotgun charge taking
effect in Mr.. Michaels right arm and
side. The posse fired, shooting Sam
Saxon and another negro down, the
others escaping. 1t was then discev-
cred that the sheriff was dangerously
hurt; news to the effect reached town,
and in five or ten minutes at least one
hundred and fifty citizens were in
arms and in pursuit of the negroes.
They were excited, and believing at
the tiine that the sheriff WINS imortalls
wounded, left no stone untuned to
capture the whole gang. Their success
itself the next morning in
the shape of Robert Saxon, brother
of SANS, hanging TO the large oak in
front of ID. Call d. Sons store, two
others killed and number wounded.
We should state just here that Sam
Saxon, after the shooting at the saloon,
ran with his crowd out towards negro
town, where he was joined by mum
Der of others, whe We're well armed
and Joined in the fight against the
sheriff's posse. Sam Saxon was shot
down by The posse, and it is pretty
certain that he is badly wounded. |
Some discoveries the next morning
caused a suspicion that the whole affair
was deep laid plan to kin the sheriff
and deputy, and warrants were issued
for the arrest of several white men as
the originators, one of them being
Charlie DelaBo. who was promptly ar
rested and placed in Jail. Several ne
groes were also arrested, as accessories,
and jailed. The Rifles were called out
early in the morning by Captain Nors- |
worthy. and kept on duty all day |
guarding the prisoners. = lOrapge |
