The lafayette Meeting.

N. @. Times.D Democrat.
The parish of st. Landry has put an
end to r~egulatorism by the decisive
verdicts in the Duplechain outrage
cases and Lafayette now promises to
follow suit. The law and order meet
ing held in the town of Lafayette yes
terday promises the very best results.
It was an Influential one, at which the
leading citizens Of the parish were pres
ent it showed the proper spirit and
enthusiasm, and it organized q law and
order association to sustain the law and
support the parish officials in enforcing
il. The people of Lafayette have final.
ly been aroused, and will redeem their
parish, which once enjoyed the proud
reputation OF being n Of the most
Iaw-abiding sections of Louisiana.
We commend most heartily the
speech of Judge Edwards, of that dis
trict, who was present at the meeting,
aud who cordially and warmly approx
ed its purpose and expected the best re-
suits; we commend the remarks of the
Catholic priest, who went as represen-
tative of Archbishop Janssens, TO pro-
test against the lawlessness that has
prevailed. All the speeches were
strong, spirited and courageous, and
show that the people of Lafayette, OF
Mt least some of them, are determined
10 have peace, order and prosperity,
The meeting itself was called by men
who appreciate the dangers to result
from d movement outside the law ; and
it is hoped that many of the regulator
themselves, seeing that their organiza.
ton is dangerous 10 peace and prosper.
ity, will JOIN the Law and Order Asso
citation to support the parish Officials
In performing their duties.
That there is some opposition to thil
movement is not to DO wondered at
but it is satisfactory to know that tht
first stand against lawlessness has beer
made, and that On organization hal
been established in Lafayette to put i
down. Such an organization must hav,
che support of every good citizen O
Louisiana, and the people of other par
ishes, where peace and order prevail
where the law ID supreme, should len,
their aid and sympathy to the men i
Lafayette who are struggling to redeem

Al Tribute from the North.

The following is an extractfrom a let
ter written by Southern lady now re-
siding in the North:
And 80 the mighty brain is still, and
the great chieftain-greatest of all in
defeat-the pure Statesman, the brave
soldier, the loyal gentleman, is gone
from orr midst. Jefferson Davis il daad!
TO Southern ears and Southern hearts
that last brief sentence tells all the rest.
/ haye read the New Orleans papers
and every other line that I could find
on the subject. bntIneeded none of them
to tell me what mourning had fallen
upon u people. Aud ringing through
my mind are those eloquent lines of
ETin's bard, which / once saw written
beneath Jefferson Davis picture, while
he was d prisoner In Fortress Monroe:
aFar dsarer the grave or the prison
Hlnm,ed by one patriot name,
Than the trophies of all who have risen
On libartyis ruins to fame
And after ali these years, in the midst
Of peace and prosperity of the nation,
which has tried TO ignore him, the lofty,
fearless spirit passed away gently and
calmly, his last words breathing the ex-
quisite courtesy oil his own, leaving d
record that no sectional hate can tar
nish-a name which, as long as the ira
ditions Of the war shall last, viii be q
hallowed one to immense numbers 0i
the citizens OF this republic. How slo.
bly, be lived-hoW simply he died. Tile
shafts of his calumniat0rs, the arrows oil
envy, Of acorn and of jeering triumph,
the yindictive and persistent malice Of
the foe, who outnumbered his armies
but could not snbdue his mighty spirit,
all-all alike fell away harmless from
the impenetrable armor of purity and
right that cIothed the soul of Jefferson
Davis.
Jefferson Davis was the incarnation
OH the Lost Cause. He was the living
exemplar Of that right suhdned ID
might. He was the unit who Feceived
the wrath and contumeIy aimed al
thousands. and he stood as calm and
unfinching in bis old age, when the
hardest Of AL blows, Islander and yul-
gar wit, polished sarcasm and so-callefl
historical candor, were bnsy with life
name, as le did Hi the smoke of battle
on in the executive chair eta desperate,
struggling people. God rest The brave,
patient sOul. Let all The bells ii ali
the South toll for the universal sorrow.
Let proud monuments tower toward
the sky, and then we will but poorly
have commanaofated tire matchless pm
rity and danIatless Valor al Jefferson
