A Party of Regulators Compel Negro Officials
to Resign Voluntarily"

New ORLEANS, May "A Lafayette
special says: Four hundred armed men
under General Alex D. Clouette, of ST.
Martins parish, rode into town and de-
manded the resignation of the negro justice
Of the peace and the negro constable. The
latter disappeared but the former complied
with the demand The regulators pretend
ing to hear that Vignaux, a prominent
Republican who had been suggested by Con
gresham Coleman for United States mar
shall for the western district of Louisiana,
had furnished arms to the negroes, called
on that gentleman, who is now town mar
shall of Lafayette, and discussed the matter
OF having attempted to vote the negroes at
the election last month.
They informed him their purpose was to
prevent negroes from voting and they in
tended to enforce their views on the subject,
intimating that the best thing that Vignaux
could do was to desist from further efforts
in behalf of negro suffrage. VignauX
stated that he was performing his
sworn duty from law. This being
satisfactory, the regulators concluded to
allow VignauX awhile longer. He exists
by probation, so to speak. The regulators
and authorities finally agreed that an cleo
ton should be held next Monday for NUM-
cipal officers of Lafayette, at which only
white men shall vote. AS this election will
not be legal, the names of those receiving
the most votes cast will be sent to the gov
ernOr for appointment.

missions on Tickets - Desperate
Fight with Robbers.

WASHINGTON, May Especial telegram
to THE HERALD YESTERDAY afternoon it
was determined by the President and sec
rotary of the interior to make the follow
ing appointments for Utah: Arthur L.
Thomas to be governor, Colonel Elijah
Sells to be secretary and Ellsworth Dag
gett to be surveyor general.
To-day the appointments were made in
accordance with the understanding reached
on Monday. 1t has not transpired why
Sells was sacrificed in favor of Thomas
Until last week it was understood both at
the department and at the executive man
sion that Sells was booked for governor, but
since then several consultations on Utah
appointments have been held, and as one
of the results of these Thomas gets what
Sells was after, and Sells is given a lesser
office, but one which it is thought will
satisfy him quite as well. The salary is
not so much as that of the governor, but
the fees attaching to the Office are under
stood to be fat, and he will also get $500 Il
year for acting as secretary of the Utah
commission.
The man selected for Thomas place on
the Utah commission is a MIR. Robinson, of
Indiana He is a Republican of some prom
inence and personal friend of
eral Miller. 1t is said that he was
the Presidents own choice, and his
selection destroys the chances of Mr..
Nebeker, of Indiana, for the marsh llship
of Utah, as two men from the same state
cannot consistently be given fat offices
in one territory. Robinson's appointment
will be made soon, probably on Wednesday.
As Utah has finally been reached, all the
will probably be made in
quick order. Nebeker being out of the
way, Shaughnessy again comes to the front
for the marshalship, though the unexpected
may happen, as in the case Of the COVER
norship.

The Way to he HaDpy.

WASHINGTON, May THE, President this
evening appointed Frank w. Palmer, of
Illinois, to be public printer; Theodore
Roosevelt, of New York, and Hugh S.
Thompson, of South Carolina, to be civil
service commissioners.
Palmer was born in Manchester, Ind, in
1927, and at the age of fifteen was ap-
prenticed to learn the printing trade He
first booked as a journeyman in New York,
and then removed to jamestown, N. Y,
where for ten years he was the publisher
and editor of the jamestown Journal. He
was a member of the New York assembly
in 1853 and 1854. In 1854 he removed to
Iowa and became editor and part owner
of the Dubuque Times. In 1860 he was
elected state printer, holding the Office six
years. While at Des Moines as state
printer, he secured control of the state Reg
lister, the paper now owned by First Assis-
tant Postmaster General Clarkson. In 1868
he was elected the representative from
Iowa to the Forty-first Congress and was
reelected to the Forty-second Congress.
After leaving Congress, Palmer bought an
interest in the Inter-Ocedn, Chicago.
Roosevelt, appointed to the civil service
commission, is member of the well known
Roosevelt family, of New York. He has
taken an active part in politics in that state,
and will be remembered as the Republican
candidate for mayor of New York
city at the election three years ago. running
against Hewitt and Henry George. He has
been decided civil service reformer all
his life, and while in the state senate of
New York secured the passage of what is
known as the Roosevelt reform law.
Mr. Thompson is well known as the
assistant secretary of the treasury from
South Carolina, appointed by President
Cleveland. He resigned the governorship
of his state to accept the treasury depart
ment
