The Regulators.

Eighteen Of the Lafayette regu-
lators, who, it is said figured quite
prominently in the lynching of the
colored man Felix Key, who butchered
bis wife to death, were captured by
Sheriff Broussard and his deputies last
Tuesday and taken to New Orleans.
The Sheriff had telegraphed Nichols
for aid, to send the militia, and accor-
dinghy three companies of troops were
dispatched to the scene of action. The
troops only acted in the way of an es-
cort, as the prisoners offered no resist
ance at arrest. The prisoners are En-

Jan, Simonet Breaux, Castor Blot,

nest Corouchet, Hypolite Hebert, Jos.
staymen, Ferman Broussard, Adolphe
Preian and Octave CASTLE. AS to the
outcome of the matter we are unable
to say. Gov. Nichols is, of course,
entitled to praise for the manner in
which he has acted in the case of the
so-called regulators; their proceedings
were highly detrimental to the States
interests and prosperity, and as chiet
executive he had to act. We would
like to see such lawless proceedings put
stop to-and the good people of the
entire State believe as we do.
