Pulaski---Not Dead,

| Pulaski don't boast of being OF
a boom, neither does it brag of max
ing any extraordinary strides il
building improvement. But Pulaski
when you come to think of it, is not
at least, making any backward
strides. A little more enterprise
upon the part of her capitalists, ex-
pended, to return two-fold in the
way of manufactures, railroads,
turnpikes, ETC., would soon give the
town an impetus that would develop
in a short time into a "boom."
But we started out to mention a
few of the institutions and enter
prises we already have that do
credit to the town. We mention.
briefly. that no town in the state
has higher grades of schools or bet
ter educational advantages than
Pulaski. She can point with pride
to her Martin college, her Giles col
lege and several private schools of
merit.
| Our church buildings are credit
able to any town, or will be In the
course OF short time when certain
improvements now going on and
contemplated are finished.
We can boast of our elegant hotel
buildings and splendid accommoda
lions for visitors. The business
houses generally are modern and
first class, and occupied by progress
sive and accommodating merchants.
Our opera house is modern and
commodious. The town is supplied
with gas and has good telephone
system.
But this article 3 being strung
out much longer thsn the short
paragraph we intended to write.
However, we cannot fail to mention
last, but by no means the least, our
beautiful, elegant, commodious
court house, to which there is not
one to compare in the state. 1t fits
the eye completely in point of arcbi
lecture and it is the special pride
of the county court to keep it always
in good prestn able condition. But
if we linger about the court house
too long there is danger of gettln g
into chancery, court being now in
session and we might have trouble
in getting out of that.

for this grave dereliction should rest.
The lukeWarmness of the officers of the law,
together with the reign of terror that now
exists in the country surrounding the scene
of the murder, has made the witnesses SO reti-
cent, and in fact fearful for their personal
safety, that great difficulty will be experiene-

more vigorously enforced and the poorer

tion whatever. These accused parties and
their family connections are wealthy and in-
fuential, and they exert great influence in
politics in that portion of the country. 1t Is
all the more remarkable that these prisoners
were thus summariIy discharged when the af-
fidavit for murder still stands against them.
At the time these arrests were made by me,
the subject of this murder was then being pre-
pared for investigation, fact we'll known to
both the Sheriff and District Attorney, and
notices had been issued and served, as one of
the witnesses summoned told me ON the same
evening of my return with the prisoners. This
witness told me that deputy sheriff had serv

charge of these prisoners service of citations
has continued, for l have been SO informed by
the District Attorney. | am informed that
the only reason given by Judge Lewis for dis
charging the prisoners without any writ of
habeas corpus and without any preliminary
examination whatever was because the arrest
was illegal and that the Justice of the Peace
had no right to issue me any warrant. While
the question was discussed on the courthouse

being present, the District Attorney express

they had been already arrested and brought

To-Day's Convention.

Ihe primary elections held last Sat
urday for delegates to the Parish Con-
vention which meets here to- day result
ed, as far as We have learned. in the
election Of large majority who are ia
vorabfe to the re election of Col. Rob-
ertson to Congress. Only one small del
egation is known to be opposed to him.
Yet we hear that the delegation to Bat
on Rouge win probably 60 uninstructed.
What can this mean? Do those who
boldly make this claim, do those who
quaveringly voice this fear, believe that
the wishes of the people, solemnly ex
pressed at the ballot-b0x, will be delib
erately disregarded, contemptuonsly
erampied upon, treacherously betrayed
Dy their chosen representatives? Perish
the thought! The delegates who will
meet here to-day are some of the best
men OF their respective wards, who
themselves appreciate at their true val
ne the eminent services of our efficient
young Congressman, and who would
scorn to disregard the wishes of their
constituents or to couple the tender of
their allegiance with any humiliating
conditions which might SAVIOR of bargain
and trade. The sturdy yeomanry of
the country sent them here to vote for
the denomination of their true, tried
and faithful servant, Col. Robertson.
The only way to do that is to instruct
the delegation to Baton Rouge in his
favor. We believe they will obey the
wishes OF their constituents. We know
they ought to.

AN OPEN LETTER.
OPELoUsAs, Sept. 2. 4

on OPELoUsAs, Sept. 2, 1883.
To His Excelleney F. T. Nichols, Governor
State of Louisiana:
Dear Sir-On the 30th of August, 1888, on
looking ovelthe Picayune, observed the pro-
elamation issued by yourself, offering re.
ward of $3.50 for the arrest of the murderer of
Ozeme Pickens. On the same night saw the
reward endeavored to secure assistance TO
make arrests of parties whom was informed
had committed the crime. No one would go
with me. resolved to go alone and make
the arrests myself, and to this end went be-
fore Judge T. b. Brooks and made the neees-
sary afiidavits against Dawes Bernard, a; r.
whom we're resident in and around Arnaud-
vile. Al soon as procured these warrants
went to work searching for additional inf0r-
nation bearing upon this murder and collect
ed much, all Of which pointed to the parties
for whom had warrants. reached Armand
Vile about q. M and proceeded immediately
to take into custody the four accused persons
above named. When l arrested them 1
brought them TO Opelousas ON the evening Of
the same day and delivered them to Sheriff L.
s. Fontenot. i called upon the District Attor-
ney John N. Ogden, Esq, and informed him
of the arrests, and he told me they were not
entitled to bail; on my delivery OF the prison
would have to sleep in Jail that night. After
this, e. T. Lewis, the Judge OF this Districf,
who was absent at his residence In the coun-
try. was noticed of the arrests and he came
Immediately ID town. On his arrival I was
informed that he had directed Shefan Fonte-
not to turn the prisoners loose; tnaG dnstlce
of the Peace Brooks had no right in law to
issue any warrant to me to make arrests I'D
the case against the. parties above named. Ihe
laW-abiding citizens of this place, both white
and black, are very much displeased at this
action of tine District Judge in discharging
