St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1881-01-08

We understand that Gov. Wilt, has
on the recommendation of the board OF
pardons, granted full pardon to Z. w.
Millspaugb, convicted at the last term
of our District Court, for having shot
one Henry Sergeant alias Middleton,
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
one year. Henry Sergeant alias Mid
d!eton, came to st. Landry as sergeant
of negro regiment, and since that time
has on several occasions, relying on his
great ply sical strength, grossly insulted
several of the most prominent citizens
of the town Of Washington. and short
time before the meeting of our last
District Court, grossly insulted Mill
spaugll, calling him 50 a son Of II bitch"
and threatening to break him into so
many pieces, that to use his expression
as related by witnesses, lit would take
a hoe to rake the pieces together
Millspaugh was uuarmed ut the time,
but maintaining his position, and acting
with a degree of GOODNESS, that was
commendable, he sent for his pistol,
aud asking the negro, who still main
tanned his position. if lie mcaut what
he said, the negro replying affirmatiycly,
shot him. The negro is now well, and
has since said that no man, white or
black, could run over him, unless they
could shoot better than Millspangh. At
the time of Millspaugi,'s trial it was
generally understood and was so tes-
tilted to the jury by his physician that
the negro was mortally wounded
and this impression and testimony
doubtless had great effect in intluen-
cling the. decision Of the jury. AS Il
question Ut law, Millspaugh may have
been properly convicted, but we are
glad to know that the Governor has in
terposcd his pardoning power and pre-
vented the execution of the sentence,
thereby teaching desperadoes, white
and black, that the constitution and laws
of our State, provide Il means of reliev-
ing those who have been convicted by
reason of the severity OF the laws. We
are glad to find that We have Cover
! nor who, while refusing to exercise i'll
discriminatory the pardoning power
conferred upon Him, yet has the prompt
ness to exercise it without hesitation
where circumstances demand it.

SCORES OF negroes who, two or three
years ago were induced to lesve the
south and fee to the north, where
they expected to be petted and made
much Of, are returning to their old
homes, glad to get back where the
climate is more to their liking, and
where they have at leest as many
friends as they found 10 the north. A
St. Louis Republican reporter lately
found in that city q large party OF
negroes en- route from republican
Iowa. They complained bitterly of
the treatment they had received at
the hands Of their political brethren,
saying they had been completely os-
trscised. and might have died from
cold and hunger, for all the loyal peo-
pie of Iowa cared. The sunny south
is the proper home OF the blackman,
and when he leaves that land he
usually goes to oae that is worse for
him. Professions of political friend
ship are all very well to pad out
stump speeches with, and to prate
about the wrongs of others is the way
Of the demagogue. but when it comes
to man putting his hand into his
pocket to help q psuper partisan,
white or black, the republican is
''there" no ettener than the demo
cret, either in the north or in the
south. Nor is a white republican
more given TO taking a negro to his
bosom than a white democrat. The
black man should have learned by
this time that practically be must
work out his own destiny, and that
being the case the place for him TO
do 1t IS in The south where be was
born and reared. where be knows
the people ana they understand him.
and where be has more advantages
and fewer drawbacks than he will
ever encounter in the north.

IT IS said that Iowa has contributed
just $40 to the Garfield monument
fuud, 50 being given by editors and
employees of the Burlington HoUk;
eye, stalwart organ, and the balance
by democratic. Iowa usually rolls up
at elections republican majority al!
the way from $4,000 to 100, 900, from
which fact it is naturally presumed
that Iowa republicans belong to the
Guitteau faction Of the party.

THE ARMY,

Gen. Sherman comes forward with
his annual appeal to Congress to in
ereass the strength of the army, and
puts forth what he evidently believes
are good reasons in support of his
demand. His reasons ought not to,
and We believe will not prevail with
Congress. It will be remembered
chat when the army was limited TO
5000 men Sherman and his subor-
dinates all shouted that its usefulness
had been practically destroyed. The
West. it was predicted, would be at
the mercy OF murdereus redskins
who would have full sway in their
hRir-liitipg industry. Now. as a
matter of fact, the Indians have not
rioted much in late years, and have
usually been speedily and severely
punished for their meannesses. None
OF the dire events predicted has act
ually trRnspired, and with the excep-
ton OF now and then a brief period
Of overWork, the soldiers have not suf-
tered from extra toll or hardship. The
trouble with the army has been that
too large q portion of it has been kept
In the east and south for show purpo-
ses, and too email portion assigned
TO active service. a few regiments,
iudiciously stationed, could awe into
quiet submission to reasonable rules
all the Indians remaining in the
country, especially as the broad terri
tory roRmed over by the redskins has
been largely settled upon by whites in
such numbers ss to protect them
selves. II one Will reflect upon this
matter little be will not only fail to
discover a reason for increasing the
military power of the nation. bat find
plenty of things suggesting its reduo-
ton. The government is at absolute
peace within itself and with all the
world, and to all appearances is likely
to continue 90. One-third of the
present army is amply sufficient to
protect settlers against hostile In
dams. Then what other use is there
for standing army. save the
guarding of the few forts and
other government property not safely
protected by tbs ordinary civil police
systems of the country? America has
no need to guard against encrosch-
ments upon her territory or her rights
even. Danger from without is re.
duced to the minimum, being 8
flmy shadow, while loyalty and pat
riotisua have their homes in the re-
public. II is not as If we bad to

the first tap of the drum would call

telligent. patriotic fighters as no ether
nation could summon; and all they
would require to become a force
against which no earthly power could
pSevail would be the slight training
and martial drilling. that intelligent,
educated officers might give. Our
military and naval schools should be
maintained, and the education and
tFaining be Of the highest pos.
sible character, bat let the army be
reduced rather than enlarged.

Rich People of the OIden Time.

That we have some very rich people in
this country there is no doubt, but
where are they, asks the Cincinnati Star,
as compared with the Roman aristo-
Gratis? Vanderbilt may be able to give
his check for $50, 900, 900, but when Sy-
rus returned from the conquest of Asia
he was rated at $500, 900, 900. Mrs.
Aston may give an entertainment at the
expense of $25, 1000 and Mrs. Mackay
may give dinner parties that cost $50
900 but festival given by Ptolemy
Philadelpbus cost $2,239,000 Alexan-
der's daily meal, frugal as it was, cost
Sl,7OO; and money was of so little &C
count to Claudius that be once swallow
ed pearl that was worth over $40, 900.
James Gordon Bennett has been known
to give many thousands of dollars to
people for whom he had acquired
fancy, but according to Tatitus, more
than $97, 100000 was given away in a
similar manner by Nero. Queens Of
fashion in New York and San Fran
cisco have appeared at balls wearing
jewels estimated to have cost $500, 900
which pales into insignifcance when
compared with the alleged fact that
Lolita Taulina wore Jewels valued at
81 1852, 500, and that when she wore these
it was only on the occasion of plain
citizens supper. Over $4,000 was
spent in providing a funeral for an &C.
centric New Yorker who left directions
how the money should be spent, but the
obseq1ies of Hephaestion cost 81, $780,
900. Americans have died and left
millions to their sons who have sqander-
ed it all in a score of years, but Antony
"got away with 1885,, 100000 and Ii
berius left the snug little fortune of
Sis, 100000 which Caligula squander-
ed to the last penny, in less than one
year. The late lamented Sothern is
said to have spent 500, 900 in year in
good living, but it is said that Pegellus,
the singer, spent money at the rate OF
$4,000 week. And then there was
Darius and Heliogabalns and Lucullus
and Lentalus and-well, this will do for
to-day.

Rubbing a Boa's Lips.

The geological garden of Antwerp
was last month the scene of very
moving drama. A young naval sur
geon, great amateur of ophidians,
entered serpent cage in company with
their guardian, to attend to an enor-
nous boa which was suffering from an
inhamed jaw. In order to rub the lips
of the animal with some ointment the
surgeon took hold of the reptile by the
back part of the head, but the animal,
which is Is feet long and large in pro-
portion, began to hiss and coiled him.
self round the arms, legs and body of
the aggressor. The guardian, TAX
ing fright at the resistance of the other,
numbering about 80, ran, leaving the
surgeon in a critical situation. The boa
was beginning to tighten it's hold and to
press on the poor mans chest, when he
had the idea of letting go his hold of the
serpent's head. The animal, feeling it
self free, uncoiled itself and took ref uge
behind the rockwork of the cage with
out doing him any injury.

The boxes contained nearly $500, 600
in gold and silver, which Mr.. Wilson
carried to the house.
The book was, as the letter stated. a
complete history of the life of the old
miser as he was called, though the many
references made to sums given away for
charitable purposes proved him any
thing but q miser. Between every two
leaves OF the book was placed 1000
note on the Bank of England. These
Nellie took out as she came to them and
found there were eighty of them.
Charles wrote to the Jonathan Budget
to come on and visit them, as he had
business OF much Importance to commu-
nicate to him. The next day brought
him, and Charles told him of the treas
ure he had found. Mr.. Budget refused
to touch penny of the money, saying
he had all that his father wished him to
have, and that was enough for him, but
he would like many of the papers found
in the boxes, which Charles gave him.
The matter was not nOised about al
all, and to this day the people of Can
tonville do not know of the discovery OF
| the money on the island
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson will spend theil
summers on the island, and it is still 9

you go there next summer, for of course
you will recognize the place although
the names are not correct, see if you car
find the caves.
