HOMOCIDE.

An unfortunate affair occurred at
Girard on Saturday evening last. A
man by the name of Dorman, a farmer
residing ON 10th section, came to
Girard, became intoxicated and abu-
sive. Went into the store Of Rains
Myrick and used very insulting and
abusive language. He was remon-
strated with but persisted in his
abuse. Rains Myrick was forced TO
eject him from his house, and in doing
so it is supposed he fell on the corner
of the steps and rupiured a blood
vessel in the spleen from the effects
of which he soon died.
We went over to the court house
for few moments and heard the
evidence Of one of the States wit.
nesses. He testified that he wal
present at the time the affair occurred
that deceased came in the store and
was abusive, that Mr.. Myrick led
him out, but he returned and Mr.
Myrick then took him by the arm
and leg and threw him off the gallery
That Mr.. Myrick did not fight him
or kick him as he (witness) could see
That deceased came back up on the
gallery and sat on barrel for twenty
minutes, then tell over and that Mr.
Myrick requested him and another
colored man to take Mr.. Dorman il
the back room and lay him on bed
They carried him in the room, and az
hour later witness went in and found
Mr.. Dorman dead.
Having other business engagement
we retired from the courthouse.
Mr.. Myrick is a very worthy yount
man.
We cannot close this account with
out rendering to the bereaved fani!,
our heartfelt sympathy. Surely thu
family of Felix Wynn have had thei
share of the woes of this lite. Wei
do we remember, twenty years ago
of seeing the father Of this distressed
widow in the last agonies Of death
Having been shot by an assassin TO
another man. How this unfortunate
occurrence recalls to our memory thi
occasion. May the Lord care for thi
widow and three small children, j
the sincere desire of the writer.
Judge Williams fixed Mr.. Mvrick
bond at $500 to await the action O
the grand jury. The bond was rendi
ly given. He could have furnishes
bond for almost any amount.

FORT SCOTT RAILROAD NEW

The contractors on the New Or

have been not little worried at the
non-arrival here of their teams that
they intended to place at work on the
line in Concordia parish. 1t has now
been definitely ascertained that some
seventy head Of mules were placed on
board the steamer City of Vicksburg
at Memphis last Wednesday. and that
steamer should have arrived at Vida
liza last night with them. If they
came last night or if they reach Vida
liza to-day, it will enable the company
to push the work with the greatest
possible rapidity and speedily have
several miles of the track graded
ready for the iron. Huge piles are
now being cut in the rear of Vidalia
for the incline just below the town,

Bat j. it finally turns out that our
confidence is misplaced. that he who
was once so just is now fallen, he will
draw down with him many men now
high in public places. For If guilty,
Major Burke will talk and he will
tell many interesting things when his
barriers are cut away. and he is free
! to lay bare all that he knows of man
and things. He is a fighter, and
neither asks nor gives quarter, and
should he conclude to open his lips
there will be developments az yet un-

SPECIiL ELECTION.

We contend that vote that is not
voted can hot be counted for nor
against any proposition.
How can it be ascertained definitely
whether a tax ia voted when several
hundred names can be found on the
registration that have not voted? III
fact, during the Republican rule IN
the STATE, they put on. in our parish,
seversi hundred bogus names to
facilitate them in stuffng the boxes.
R;chland parish has never voted by
40 or 600 the registration claimed.
On the special tax proposition some
say that in voting for an appronrla-
ton majority of the number Of
registration and also a majority in
property should lie voted. If nine
tenths Of the property was voted and
! the same in number. unless the mum
Der was over one half of the rcgistra.
ton roll, the tax is not carried. Fo.
instance every man that dies OF
moves OF. Of the parish is counted
against such tax. l. there any reason
in such a proposition?
In regard TO the property tax vote
there Is another important question
and We have seen some decisions or
that point. Our State election law!
require tha. only electors shall vote
and under that rule a woman o.
minor have no right to vote. Then
where do they get the law to vot'
such?
Section 5 of Act No. So of 1886
reads: That nonresident taxpayer
shall have the right to vote at sait
election, if present; and If not present
to vote through an ageut or attorney
prorided, such agent or attorney shall
have written special authority iron
said nonresident for that purpose.
We suppose this nonresident mus
have all the requisite qualifications o
an elector. For the sake of argument
suppose this electOr has never bee
naturalized, can he confer upon an,
one right that he does not posses
r himself?
We find many more complicate
t and complexed questions than that
whether majority Of the voters
who perchance-have gone to th
unknown, or left to parts unknown
3 but for purposes to suit some, al
e counted as against anything that
e calculated to result in the gener;

KILLING EDITORS ~ LOUISIANA

In proportion to numbers there are
more editors killed in Louisiana than
men Of any other profession. There
are probably l25 editors in the State,
and within quite recent memory three
of them have died violent deaths.
Trimble, of Farmerville; Naquin, of
Thibodeanx, and within the past few
DAYS Poole, of Vernon. have yielded
up their lives in encounters with their
fellow-men.
We do not here discuss the merits
of these bloody ARRAYS. Indeed, We
know of them except from heresay.
Blu. it is Il gloomy and grievous state
of affairs when journalism leads to a
violent death. And if We add to
these cases OF actual killing the num-
Der of fierce controversies which have
not eventuated in bloodshed, it is
safe to say that at some time or other
in the life OF nearly every editor now
in active service in the State there has
been grave danger of a personal en-
counter with possible los. of life.
These things should not be. They
are not worthy of men. The SQUAD
bles arise from nothing; they often
lead to violence, and sometimes to
death. What is all tins political
rancor and bitterness worth in COM
parison with a single human life?
Why is it that we fight each other
week after week through the public
prints, estrange families, add discord
to the community, and make life
miserable, only to find that in the
next campaign the brother-editol
previously attacked is fighting side
by side with us in the same faction Of
to secure the nomination of the same
men.
Such action is childish. 1t belong:
to a humah goose. 1t is utterly
ridiculous: it is indefensible. 1t is {:
time to put stop to the whole bust
ness. 1t is time to be sensible. Why
was poor Naquin, of Tbibodau1
killed? 1t all arose from some dis
cussion about picnic! We do moi
know whether he was right or wrong
He may have been thoroughly wrong
or thoroughly right. 1t makes ne
difference in the judgment of thinking
men. a picnic is nothing to yielt
up ones life for.
Something must be done to put I
: stop to this tomfoolery of editors. i
has gone entirely too far. Three live
is enough to sacrifice. But if thing
are not changed, may we not soon ex
pect to see fourth victim?

by the Vernon News, Of which Mr. a. e.

On Sept S the News appeared with severe
structures upon the sheriff for alleged excessive
charges OF costs in the case OF man nance
Buchanan. To this the sheriff replied in tn,
succeeding issue Of the Peoples Friend, re-
fiec,ins severely upon Poole, the editor, wht
at once sent note demanding a retraction

It is both amusing anil interesting
20 sec with what great interest some
people take in others affairs to the
neglect Of their own. If one buys a
horse or an article Of merchandise il
is astonishing to see how many are
interested in the transaction. We
are often reminded of the old adage
that people get rich by attending
their own business." Some prefer
however. to remain poor.
