DISGRAClNG THE BAY STATE.
Richmond STATED

[RichmOnd State.]
We had wished to say nothing about
the behavior of the Ninth Massachu-
sets regiment during its stay in Rich
mond, but as members of that organi-
cation have been so imprudent as to
attempt defence of their bad con-
duct, which is notorious, and as, in
doing this, they have sought to preju-
dice the whole country against our
people, we eau hesitate no longer to
tell of their lawless acts in this city
Many of them were drunk. Some
took wagons from their drivers and
drove them through the streets. 9th
ers were served in saloons and refused
to pay for what they ate and drank.
Others refused to pay fare in the street
cars. Others grossly insulted ladies.
Indeed it was safe for no lady to be on
the street. The denial of these charges
are simply false. The Washington dis
patch to the Boston Herald of last
Sunday, in which defence of the
Ninth Massachusetts regiment is at
tempted, is a tissue of falsehoods, and
the spirit In which it is written is ma
licious. This report was based on
statements made by members of the
Ninth Massachusetts, themselves, and
though it is surprising that these men
did not confess their disgraceful con-
duct, still it Is nothing lessthan a crime
that they should try to draw attention
away from their lawless behavior by
arraignfng LIZ s5ac.iusetts against .Vir-
ginia, and seeming to bring to life that
sectionalalism which is happily dead.
We should not overlo ok the adroit
effort that is made to turn unfortunate
affair to political advantage, and it is
more than limited that the Republican
party will gain by this revival of sec.
uonalism. Could any political device
be SO degrading? The Washington
correspondent of the Boston Herald !
says that the Ninth Massachusetts now
has s.less friendly feeling towards
the South and its soldiers" Not only
Richmond, therefore, but Virginia,
and indeed, the whole South are to be
held responsible for the doings of a !
few drunken brawlers who came
among us and disgaced themselves.
In all history there is no such n mon

strous example of "the innocent suffer-

strous example of "the innocent suffer-
ing for the guilty"
No falser opinion could be held than
that the blue uniforms Of the Massa-
chusetts troops had any effect on the
manner of their reception here. This
adoption of the red rag to the bull,
which finds words In blue to the South
ern men, is almost too ridiculous to
deserve comment. For the staff of
the Governor of Virginia, the Rich
mond Blues, and Company b of the
First Virginia regiment, all wear blue
uniforms. So much for Southerumeu's
hatred of blue.
The charge that the music of the ma
ton is not listened to with patriotic
feelings by our people, our people
themselve with one voice deny; nor
Will such an accusation as this have
weight with any fair and honorable
nan, wherever he may live.
The Washington Critic reports the
statement of some of the Ninth Massa-
chusetts that their train was stoned
while passing through Richmond
This is true. Brothers and friends OF
women who had been insulted gathered
at the depot for the purpose of punish
ing blackguards who had been guilty
of these disgraceful acts. The train
passed through without stopping, es-
capped them; but fired with indignation,
they threw stones al the cars. We
make no apology for this attack. But
| we may we'll leave it to the world to
decide who deserves the severer con-
demnation, those who brutally assailed
helpless women or those who sought to
avenge SO foul a wrong.
If sectionalism prompted the ill
treatment of the Massachusetts regi-
ment, why not the Thirteenth New
York and the New Jersey regiment
ill treated during their stay in Virgin
ia? They will not fail to ward off the
SANDER that has been hurled at our
people.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

general thing, gratiflsd ut the purpose

huances IL disgraceful and deplorable
in the extreme, and, If the members
cannot be relied upon to do honest and
earnes work now they never can he,
and our condition, even with an able,
conscientious and determined Execu-
tive will be little better than it was
under Radical rule; Louisiana, in
short, must in that event be regarded as
given over to spectators, brokers and
disOnest politicians.
The Legislature in extra session can
do all that is necessary to straighten
up our finances. II it neglects its prop
er work In the interest of rings and
regular session. The General Assembly,
therefore, will be on trial at the extra
session, aud II it again deceives the peo-
pie the press and people of the parishes
should take vigorous measures to
enforce the resignation of recent mem
bers, that their places may be filled
by letter men.
With wise laws State may run on
smoothly enough with very little legis-
l.tion; but when by bad laws, enacted
in ring interest, its affairs fall into the
confusion which characterizes those of
Louisiana at present, prompt and vigor-
GUS legislation is necessary to insure
progress and prosperity; and the peo-
pie must arouse themselves and force
their representative to look solely after
the interests of the State.
When the extra session assemblies the
country press and people should keep
u waichful eye on, and hold a ready
and viriIe tongue over those worthless
who were brought up at the last reg
ular .session.-N. 0. States.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1-Informa-
ton has been received which proves
beyond a doubt that Ed. Miller, one of
the noted band of train robbers, has
been killed in Southwestern Missouri
by Jesse James Miller took part in the
first robbery of the Chicago and Alton
railway, and at Winston OH the Rock
Island road, and was born and raised
jackson county. The row occurred
about Il girl, Miller accusing James of
"fooling" with his girl, when the lat
ter drew revolver and shot him dead
and his body was left by the roadside.
Another version is that Jesse James
sided with Cummings about the girl,
which discarded Miller, who threaten
ed to leave the gang, and for this Jesse
killed him. The details of tho killing
are told by ex-bush whackers and
| friends of all parties from Clay and
Jackson counties, and are authentic.

On Thursday last, rather novel
wedding took place in Coushatta. Bur-
rell Yancy, an old colored man, confin-
ed in our parish Jail upon charge of
larceny, was visited by a woman who,
for forty long years, has shared his bed
and board, aud was always regarded
as the wife of his bosom by the outside
world. But this intimacy and what
ever tender regard for each other had
resulted from it, was not conformity
with Gods laws, and Burrel asked
permission to marry the woman of his
choice then and there, she giving a
willing consent. Deputy sheriff Hunt
ley assisted the old couple all he could
brought Burrel to the sheriff's office,
sent for the minister, ETC., and witness
ed the marriage as becoming a good
officer and clever gentleman. Rev. Mr..
Singleton was the officiating clergy
man. When the ceremony was over
with, the groom was marched back to
the Jail, where he will remain until
his cotton specuiations are disposed of
by jury of his countrymen.-Coat-

We are glad to learn that our con-
temporary of the Donaldsonville c thief
Linden T.. Bently, is likely to receive
the appointment of Internal Revenue
Collector for his district. Through not
in political sympathy with Mr.. Bent
ley, we do not hesitate to say that his
appointment would prove highly salts
factory to the people of the district, as
he is gentleman of talent, energy
and fine business qualifications. Presi-
dent Arthur could not make a better
selection in the Republican ranks.
We are pleased to add to the tcsti-
naony of the Iberville South, from
which Journal the above is copied, the
expression of our appreciation of the
fitness of Mr.. Bentley for the place
named. 1t affords us pleasure, at the
same time, to congratulate Mr.. and
Mrs. Bentley upon the birth of little
daughter, and to send the little one our
best wishes for long and useful life.
We hope that both father and mother
may live to see their baby realize this
in its behalf.

Our fried of the v Jenna Sentinel, in
the latest issue of his paper, gives US a
gloomy forecast of the future as to the
financial condition of the country, and,
added to an experience of the truthful
ness of his remarks, we have gloomy
forebodings. The second portion of
our friends article dramatized, would
place railroad, Offering splendid in
ducements for labor, and the people
with their hearts gladdened, as some
thing which will lift all burthens from
their shoulders.
It is refreshing to read the graphic
delineation of the change to be
wrought, as given by our friend, by the
construction of a railroad. Would that
we could think like him, so far as its
immediate effects go; but with the
brilliant portraiture of the civilizing
locomotive, speeding its way to make
rapid connection with the slopes of the
setting sun-bringing the sturdy hus-
bandman and the adventurous pioneer
from the crowded East to become our
denizens, alas! reality
bedaubs the scene with sombre and
dismal colors.
