II the reports which have reached MS
lately of the condition of affairs in
some of the neighborhoods in the
southern part of the parish be one half
true, we think state of things exists
which every man feeling the least in
terest in the welfare of the parish should
deeply deplOre. 1t seems that for some
time past the people of that particular
region have been more or less excited
by an apprehended outbreak on the
part OF the negroes against the whites.
IN consequence of this, meetings have
been held, and we understand armed
organizations have been gotten up, and
a general feeling of insecurity alike on
the part Of whites and blacks enyep-
dered, which, if long continued, must
result in mob violence and lynch law.
SO far there has been only one life lost,
aud that accidentally yet at any mo-
ment there may be bloodshed and Sc
ilous trouble. Our advice to all con-
cerned is to keep within the strict let
ter OF the law. We have as efficient
Officers III this parish as can be found in
the State, and if people in that part of
the parish have any grounds to arpre-
bend violence and disturbance by the
whites OF blacks, all they have to do is
TO make atfidavits before the District
Judge, have warrants issued, and the
suspected parties arrested and dealt
with according to law.
II instead OF doing this, private in
dlViduals want to take the law into
their own hands, we call on them -
pause, and reflect before acting. other
wise, they may have cause to regret if
Our parish officers, we know are deter
mined to enforce the law, and we have
every reason to believe, that the
oiflcers OF the United States for this dis
tllct are equally vigilant, and equally
determined, to do their duty. We have
heard so far, but one opinion ex.
pressed, amongst rejecting men. and
that u.s. that there exists no real cause
Tor dlsquletude. That the negroes ara
hoidlng meetings, we do not donht
nat they have been doing 50 eve,
since emancipation, not only here and
lhfoushout the State, but all over the
oohth' is matter which cannot be de-
hied. 1hat they have an unidentified
ilsht to do so, no sane man will or "a,
uehy' because it is a right guaranteed
py the Constitution and laws both of
the United States and of the State. White
people hold meetings for political and
fel1slous purposes, and the negroes have
an equal right to do so, as long as thew
oehaVe themselves, and whenever thew
they equally with the
"hltes' become amenable to the laws of
the country.
Inc white people are in the majority
IN this parish, and they have posses
sion OF all the offices; and they ar
surely able to suppress, through the
ohcers OF the law, any outbreak of vio-
fence on the part Of the colored popu-
iat1on, without the intervention Of
'yhch law. 1t there are reasonable
grounds to apprehend violence. there
should be legal investigation. The
egal arrest Of several persons suspect.
3D. and judicial examination. wonld
settle the difficulty quickly and without
much trouble.
