More Lawlessness.

The firing into colored mans house,
on the night of the 18th ult., in Vile
Plate Prairie, seems to be a resumption
of similar acts of violence that took
place in this parish some months ago.
The fact that none of the guilty parties
were found out and punished with the
extreme penalty of the law has embold-
ened the same parties, or others, to
commence their terrorizing and murder
Gus midnight raids again.
The courts of our country are always
open for the redress of wrongs, and the
protection of life and property, without
men banding together in the night time
to punish bad persons or to injure inDo-
cent ones. The good and law abiding
people of the parish ought TO uphold
and assist the officers of the law in put
ting down these disorders and bringing
the offenders to Justice, otherwise these
,lidnight attacks will increase, good
citizens viii eventually be assassinated
a reign of terror pervade the country,
and the good name of the parish be
ruined abroad. Let peace and good
order be maintained at all hazards. Ger
tainly our people are not going to allow
Il few desperadoes TO overthrow the
courts and the law, and rule the eoan-
try with blood and violence. Let that
t,e we'll understood right now.

The Election in Washington.

At present writing the main topic Of
conversation in Washington and in fact
the one absorbing Observation-Disclosures,
pleasure aud other things being slight
ed. and cast aside as secondary cohsld-
erations is the coming election for
mayor and counciinen to take place
next Monday.
The question is asked: why all this
rRmpus, wrangIing and turmoil, as pol
itics is not a factor, 1T being purely a
home affair, more business matter
tEa,a aught else-the election Of five
men to manage the affairs Of the town
to the best interest of the taxpayers
and the people generally Z The bone
of contention seems to be the once OF
Constable, the only salaried office OF
any consequence. For years, If we are
not mistaken, the Constable has been
the . Mogul in the town elections-no
anestions ever being asked as to the
fitness or qualifications of tue candid
ates for Mayor and coilnellmen, ont
simuly. Which man will they support
far Constable In ether words, as has
hanpeDed too frequently with ~ III
ftnall.,3SdS. JEIG
tickets and virtually ''run the town.
On tie got of March last, the good
citizeus of tie town proposed TO do away
Will, this idea and met il convention "a a
Perseverance, Hall to nominate mayor
and councilmen irrespective Of who
shonm be the constable; men whom
they would select for their honesty ,
business ability and general fitness; but
as is frequently the case few were ats-
satisfied and bolted the meeting, got up
an opposition ticket and are using all
means ID their power to land their III
yorites. Hence the internecine sI strife.
The ticket nominated on the s9til OF
March was as follows: Mayor, Wm; A
Flynn, Esq; Conneilmen, Messrs; ss,ls,. La, 4,
c;en DuprG, MaxkIans, Jacob Eilrhardt
and Z. VanhiIlr, 1ll thoroughly ldentI-
e5ed with the best interests Of the town
and whose competency cannot be cues
tioned. The affairs of our sister town
could not be entrusted to safer hands
