The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1881-02-11
AWAY UP IN BLEEDING KANSAS:

In 1869, when the X. L. shops were
on the levee, q. H. Tull was master
mechanic. Charley, as the boys fami-
liarly called him, was stalwart Repub-
tican at that time, and was never
known to scratch his ticket but once.
Like all railroad men he has drifted
around until we now find him in charge
of the railroad shops at Monroe, La.
Some of the planters in Ouachita Parish,
in want Of plantation hands, knowing
that Mr.. Tult was acquainted in Wyan-
dott and was the owner of some Valua-
BILE real estate in Kansas, conceived the
idea of sending him here to procure
forty or fifty families to go down there
and work. He came up, andQn Thurs
day afternoon last called on the Rev.
Pollard, thinking that as pastor of one
of their churches, he would be likely to
know whether any of his flock would be
willing to go to Louisiana. After stat
ing the object of his visit, the Rev.
] gentleman became very boisterous and
prfoane, calling about him some of the
sisters of the flock, who threatened Mr..
Tull with dire vengeance if he came
about there trying to coax any of them
to go South. Pollard was SO profane
and violent in his manner as well as
! those he gathered about him that Mr..
was glad to escape from the gang
gathered about him. It will be well
for Senator Pollard to remember that
he is in Kansas and not in Louisiana,
and that he had better not attempt to
incitc mob violence in this city, or nc
may wind up his career behind the
| iron bars OF some prison. Brother Pol
lard had better not try to bull-d6ze any
person, either citizen or stranger, while
he remains here or he will get into
trouble Uyo7,tloN Herald.
The Herald errs i'll stating that MIR.
Tull is in charge of the railroad shops
he was, however, until recently. The
Pollard referred to is the Rev. Curtis
Pollard, at one time senator from Madi-
son parish, and II true black Republi.
can was Curtis, in which character lie
seems to- be acquiring no small degree
of heft as we'll as profanity in Wyan-
dott. His zeal I'M behalf of retain.
be highly appreciated by at least a
goodIy number of our people. We arc
we'll rid of them.
Cognate to this paragraph from the
Herald, is the following editorial allu-
sion to the recent telegraphic cores
pondence between the Mayor of Wyan-
dott and F. p. Stubs, Esq: of this
city, in reference to procuring coloretl
laborers at Wyandott:
On the 18th of January Il planter
named Stubs, residing at Monroe, La,
sent telegram to the Mayor of this
city on business. Unfortunately the
| Mayor misconstructcd the message, and
replied by sending Stubs political
homily instead of a business answer.
This stirred up the manly blood in
Stubbs's veins and occasioned a xetort
which, so far as our knowledge goes,
has not been answered by our worthy
Mayor. From the tone of the article
following, which we clip from last
Sundays New Orleans Democrat, it is
evident Stubbs is hanging around the
telegraph Office at Monroe, in hourly
expectation of receiving Il challenge tc
deadly combat.
Which we copy simply to say that
we thought at the time publication was
made that the initial message by Mr..
Stubs was misconstrucd, the two be.
ing unacquainted, perhaps, and tina: i
Mr.. Stubs is troubled by any appre
tensions of physical contact will
Wyandotts Mayor, no indications o
that character have come between IL
and the wind. 1t May be added tina
} we have the proper respect down herr
for border ruifians and Beecher's
rifles.
