carried into effect; as we believe that it
is only in the manner of treatment that
we can ever induce them to settle per-
manently amongst us.
What has not been done in that di-
rection by almost every Southern State
in the Union, except Louisiana? the
State Of Georgia, in a less propitious
time than now, threw wide it's doors to
all nationalities and doubled its popu
lation in a very limited time, until at
present not only all of it's territory is
under cultivation, but it is doubtless
one Of the most prosperous States of
the Union. The State of Texas has
done likewise to induce immigration,
and see how it has and is yet beneftting
therefrom.
We need less talk and more action,
and unless we offer similar inducements
and prepare ourselves to receive the
emigrants in more friendly way, we
may preach till doomsday and never
will induce them in this direction.

Inducing immigration.
liberia Star |


The press at large has of late been
united in agitating the worn-down sub
ject of immigration, and with all that
has been done, we do not see the ad-
vent of the brawny sons of toll.
We have and still continue to labor
ardently and unanimously to secure the
proper element, but not in a way calcu-
lated to insure success. 1t is needless
TO say that we have never offered in
ducements Of any sort to entice the
coming into our country OF an indus
trious class, and that when occasionally
q stranger happens in this direction, we
do not show him the proper treatment
and hospitality.
An emigrant coming to a strange
. country, first looks at the reception
rendered to him. If good, he will re-
main, but it taken by the hair and
transported into land OF careless
people who seem to regard him as un-
welcome, he will naturally look for
another and more hospitable place to
establish himself.
In a recent editorial the New Orleans
Democrat suggested that New Orleans
should follow the example of New York
by erecting, or fitting up place where
4he emigrant on his arrival from over
the seas would Immediately find all that
is absolutely necessary to his personal
comfOrt. In this manner he would feel
at home, and besides he would be con-
yfuced that he is welcomed by friend
" people. This is 9 wise suggestion
and one that should be immediately

AttrOciOus Murder.
{MeridiOnal Aug. 2Oth.1

FMeridional Aug 2Oth.l
On the night Of Friday the 18th
instant most atrocious murder was
committed about two miles from Able
vile in our Parish. On that night Pine
Henderson worthy colored man OF our
Parish was attending church in the
town and one William Epperson also.
Henderson had left his wife and daugh-
ter aged about fourteen at home. Ep-
person more or less under the influence
of liquor, it is said, left church long be-
fore Henderson, uttering the most
vilest imprecations against the whole
people, white and black. After church,
Henderson returns home, his bed and
floor covered with blood, his wife
murdered in a most fiendish manner
and his daughter upon whom he dotted
with more than ordinary parental atfec-
ton missing. The neishbors are noti-
fed, the officers of the law likewise.
To them the horrid and ghastly sight
presents itself Of the mother literally
butchered, having received with an axe
a first blow that split the Uranium and
produced instantaneous death; but not
satisfied with this the helish monster,
in human form, had severed the neck
from the body, but "a small particle OF
flesh and skin, keeping the two together,
chopped off one of the hands, cut the
throat from ear to ear and with one
last stroke cut open her abdomen ex-
posing the entrails Of the aged victim.
She is dead, murdered but what has be-
come of the daughter? Owing to the
diligent search Of our officers she was
found in neighboring wood a corpse,
her head crushed, and bearing other
marks Of fiendish violence. The sheriff
and his deputy after further research
found the said Epperson in his house,
in bed, but his clothes still red with his
victims blood. He was brought to
town, by seven in the morning, he con-
fessed his guilt with utter Indifference.
At about 10 NJ. crowd of the most
worthy citizens of our Parish, despite
the pOwerless resistance OF the officers
took charge of the prisoner and in a
short time he was launched into eter-
nifty. He to the last showed callous in
difference, refusing anything like reli-
gious consolation showing no sign of
repentance, and admitting that he fully
deserved the punishment inflicted on
him. This is one of those cases where
honorable members Of community
are driven to sad necessities, but there
are cases surrounded by such heinous
such diobolical circumstances, that no
written law, no ordinary process OF law
can reach or cover the enormity OF the
crime-and then community has right,
undeniable right to act.

Serious Trouble at Orange
Texas.
Lake Charles Echo, Aug. Goth.


Last Wednesday night Sam. Saxon
and two other negroes attacked white
man named Gus. Garvey, in a saloon in
Orange, several shots being fired. The
negroes left town soon afterwards, and
the Sheriff of Orange. county, with a
were returning to town, the sheriff or
dered them to halt. The reply was a
load of buckshot from Sam. Saxon's
gun, disabling the sheriff7s right arm,
two of the buckshot inhicting severe
flesh wounds in his body. The posse
then fred, killing one or two of the ne
groes. Sam. Saxon escaped, and board
ing a western bound train of cars was
seen near Beaumont, but escaped az
rest. Some of the other negroes were
arrested, and it is said they, OF. one OF
them, made confession, duplicating
several other negroes and some white
men in conspiracy to set fire that night
to certain mills and residences away
from the business portion Of the town,
and to make raid OH the stores while
the citizens were at the fires. In cOnse-
quence of these facts and disclosures,
and corroborating circumstances, one or
two other negroes were shot, and one
was hung, and two or three white men
and about half a dozen negroes were
arrested and lodged in Jail. General
indignation was expressed by the citi-
zens generally, especially at the assault
on the sheriff, who is very highly es-
teemed there, and it is said it the
sheriff had not called out The Orange
Rifles to guard the Jail the prisoners
would have been lynched. AS we go
to press the Orange Rifles are guarding
the iail, and there has been no more
violence. It is said the good citizens of
Orange are united in the determination
to uphold the officers of the law, and to
rid Orange Of all dangerous and law
defying persons.
