Appropos of the frequent mystic
rious burnings that have occurred
within the last few months, a con-
tributor sends US the following
suggestions:
"As each recurring season brings
the farming districts of our State,
disaster and loss occasioned by the
burning of gins, barns and other
properties, resulting many times
from the incendiary's match, would
it not be feasible for the incoming
Legislature to enact a statute en-
towering the coroners of the differ
ent parishes to hold inquests upon
the causes of all fires, to examine
witnesses, take testimony, and bind
over suspected parties to await the
action of the grand juries. Is il
not fact that fires, many of them
supicious, are on the increase, and
with no official especially commits
stoned to ascertain their causes,
ETC., can we hope that in the future
they will grow less frequent?"

The action of the large body of
colored voters in ward one of this
parish, who on election day openly
voted and freely worked for the
Democratic ticket, gives the direct
lie to the oft repeated charge that
the colorrd men in the South are
all Republicans, and will not vote
as Democrats unless defrauded or
bulldozed into such course. We
heard fully twenty colored men on
that day assert that they were
Democrats and intended to vote
our ticket, and the final count not
only proved their good faith, but
showed that they exercised an in
fiuence on three or four times
their number, who voted the Dem
ocratic ticket but were not SO open
in declaring their intentions. The
truth of this whole business is that
more colored men are bulldozed
by their own color into supporting
the Republican ticket than are in
undated by white men into voting
the Democratic ticket.
