A Foolish Action.

The Republican meeting which was
announced to take place on Tuesday the
10Th inst, did not materialize for the
reason, it is said, that the Re.
gulators notified all the negro leaders
that if they attended any meeting, il
would be at their peril.
Bands of Regulators are also reported
visiting the country during the night,
firing their weapons in the air, and thus
created general panic among the blacks
and Tuesday, the day fixed for the mee-
ting, not single negro was to be seen
in town.
About twelve o'clock a band of about
60 or 10 Regulators made their appear
ance in town and proceeded to the court
House square, where they remained uI-
til about sun down.
The Regulators in this parish have
made some serious blunders, but we be-
licve their last demonstration is the
greatest mistake they ever made. 1t is
generally believed and admitted that
Major Price has the advantage over the
Republican in this contest, and would
probably be elected without any cause
Of cOntest, while the bold and stupid de-
mOnstatiOn made in this parish
furnishes all the ground necessary
for a contest by the Republican
candidate in case Of his defeat.
The Regulators should have considered
that the national administration is in the
hands of the Republicans, and both Hou-
ses of Congress are also in the hands of
the Republicans, and a contest on the
slightest ground will be enough to over
throw the Democratic candidate i. re-
turned elected. But we are inclined to
believe the Regulators do not care about
Mr.. Price. Whether he goes to Congress
or not is the least of their trouble, and
their only object in view, is to keep the
parish in such state terror. as to make
it an easy job to place their leaders in
office.
We believe this campaign should be
by the Democracy, in the in
terest of the Democracy and not by Regu-
latOrs in the interest OF limited few
the leaders.

The new law requires the different
proprietOrs to work the roads along their
front. In short time, the Police Jury
will appoint road overseers, who will dir
ect when and how they are to be worked.
Like all new laws, it will require some
time before it gets to working smoothly.
When it does, the roads will be somewhat
like they were in the old days. Heavy
cane wagons in the wet weather destroy
dirt roads about as fast as they can be
made. The planters ought to be cOnsi-
derate in this matter. OF course, the
roads are public, and no one can prevent
their legitimate use. But we submit to
the owners of the wagons. that as the
different proprietOrs will hereafter have
TO keep up their roads, they will save
good deal of evaporation, if they will do
their hauling in dry weather. II doesn't
pay to haul i'll wet weather ANYWAY.

Show Your Reasons.

The meeting of the Parish Executive
Committee called at Breaux Bridge last
Sunday, which failed fm want of quo
rum, was We are Informed, for the pur-
pose Of asking Governor Nichols to re-
move Mr.. A. V. Fleming, who by the way
is member of that committee, as Re-
turning Officer, and to recommend can
didate to the Governor to fill the Office.
We were exceeding surprised to learn
such report, as every one knows, Mr..
Fleming is an honest and upright man
and as good democrat as any in the
parish, and better than many of those
who think they are immaculates. The
only reason We can see to ask the remOv-
al of Mr.. Fleming is that he is too honest
and cannot be made the tool of some
greedy politicians who would like per-
haps to control Mr.. Fleming in his Off
cial capacity to suit their own purposes.
We do not know, and have not the
least idea of who the agitators of this
move are, and We do not believe that the
Democratic Parish Committee will take
any such move under consideration
against one OF its members, to please and
suit few politicians, who will never be
satisfied until they hold all the offices
and control the parish at their own free
will and reign supreme.
The Democratic Committee should not
let their action be influenced by, and in
the interest of few, they represent the
democracy of the whole parish, and their
duty is TO consider in all matters, the in
terest of the whole Democracy Of the
parish. The democracy of the parish
have no reason to demand the removal of
Mr.. Fleming as Returning officer, and
the committee, if any such motion is
made. should reject it without considera-
tiOu.

A writer in the Lafayette Advertiser in
commenting upon the recent lynching
of Felix Keys very truthfully says
From past events it is safe to say that
if Felix Keys had escaped the gallows
and been sent to the penitentiary, in six
months from the time he arrived at Ba-
ton Rouge, one half of the mob who hung
him would have signed petition for his
pardon; because there was foul murder
committed on our streets few years ago
and the man sent to the penitentiary,
and some of the very men who hung Eel
tx Keys signed petition for the pardon
of that murderer. Felix Keys deserved
to be hung. but he was safe in one of the
best jails in the State and should have
been handled by the law.

SLATE MONEYS.
A Question as to How Appropriation
Bills Should Read.

a Question as to HOW Appropriation
Bills Should Read.
The question has been raised as to
whether or not the bill passed by the last
Legislature appropriating 100000 for the
support of the State Mining Bureau is con-
stitutional. 1t has been customary for bills
appropriating money for any purpose to
designate the fund from which the same
shall be paid, and to contain clause direct
ing the State Controller to draw his warrant
therefor.
In the bill referred to these provisions are
omitted, and it is reported that the State
Controller regards at least the first one as a
fatal omission.
1t may be stated in this connection that
there are other bills in the same situation,
and that these so-called omissions were
freely commented on before the Legislature
adjourned. One Senator says that nearly
every member of the Judiciary Committee
of the upper branch of the Legislature de-
clared that the absence of the words "out
of any moneys in the State Treasury not
otherwise appropriated" would not have
the slightest weight with the Supreme
Court, should the question reach that
body.
The fact was pointed out that the Legisla-
ture, in appropriating money, could only do
so out of the State Treasury; that it could not
appropriate funds otherwise appropriated,
draw his warrant for moneys appropriated
by the Legislature.
These are the arguments used on both
sides of the proposition, and it is possible
that the Courts will have to straighten out
the problem

covered means of turning them to profit.
Just what use is made of them it is difficult
to say but the process is as widely known
as the breezes that sweep gently over that
locality. The dogs are boiled-at least,
some portions of their carcasses are-and
the stencil that is generated is said to re-
semble very much that of glue factory
out on the Potrero in San Francisco. 1t is
SO thick at times that it can almost be cut
with All AK
One of the suffering citizens Of the neigh
borhood informed Supervisor Bates that
the unused portions of the dogs-presuma-
bly, the intestines-are cast into the neigh
boring sloughs and if SO, they must of
course find their way into the river which,
by the way, is the source OF the citys do
mestic water supply.
The Supervisors have determined to in
vestigate the matter at once, and If they
find that the complaints are well founded
somebody will get himself into trouble.

TURN OF TIE TIDE.
THE SACRAMENTO CLUB REDERMS
ITS LAURELS.
A Splendid Victory Over the Oak
lands = Chief Features of the
Game-Score, to 4.

The Sacramento Baseball Club has re-
deemed itself. 1t seemed as if an entirely
new nine represented the Capital City al
the Haight-street grounds in San Francisco
yesterday, so strong was the playing of the
team in contrast with its work of last Sun
day. The members appeared to be infused
with new life and confidence. Hapeman
and Mclaughlin gave splendid exhibition
OF bali-playing, without an error, and the
fielding and willow-work was q surprise.
The Sacramentos took the lead in the third
inning, which they increased as the game
progressed and won without taking their
turn at the bat in the last half of the ninth
bout. The day was cold and raw, still the
game was witnessed by eight hundred per-
sons.
Hapeman, the Sacramento's twirler.
showed up in good form. He struck out
but four, yet he held the opposing bats
men to seven hits. He was q little wild.
but promises to become steadier in the
future. His rise was very pulling to
gauge.
Mclaughlin gave the pitcher splendid
support behind the bat, and caught several
difficult flies. His throwing was also good.
He allowed only one pitched ball to pass
through his hands.
The work of the infeld showed unremit-
ting practice. Veach carried off the honors
in the outfield, catching five flyers in good
style. The playing Of the Sacramentos
won much well-deserved applause.
The fielding of the Oaklandels saved
their pitcher from having several hits
scored against him. Up to the seventh in
ming the Oaklands played without an
error, but after that became ratified and
acted wild. During the fourth inning
Sheridan objected to recognizing O'Neilrs
orders TO the Oaklands. O'Neill claimed
10 be the Assistant Captain.
The chief features of the game were
Veach's fielding and batting. and McLaugh-
Inns catching. Following is the summary
of the game:

HUMAN WRECKS.
Successful Raid on a Gang of skulking
Opium Fiends.

Yesterday morning officers Arlington,
Rider and Franks made raid on a num-
Der of empty box-cars on the north levee,
between Ninth and Tenth streets, and sue
ceeded in capturing four opium fiends. One
escaped, and the officers had quite an ex-
citing time in capturing him. Officer Ar
lington went around to one side of the
opening in the box-car, and at the same
time his man jumped out of the other, and
with one leap sprang into slough on the
north side of the levee, and struck out for
the opposite bank, exclaiming, I'll drown
myself first"
The water in the slough was not warm
by any means, and after some time the
swimmers strength began to give out, all
of his sins rushed upon his mind, and he
concluded to return, and with one des-
perate effort reached the shore, glad enough
to be alive. With the three others he was
brought to the police station, where a
charge of yagrancy was placed against

REMARKABLE RUNNING.
What the opS-Distance Runners Are
Doing at tho Pavilion.


Doing at tho Pavilion.
The general public does not seem to be
aware of the fact that the famous long-dis-
lance runners engaged in the COM
petition at the Old Pavilion, under the
management of Frank Hall, are doing
some of the most remarkable running ever
witnessed on this coast or elsewhere. The
present match differs materially from a
six-day continuous match, as in the latter
a great deal of walking is necess arily done;
but in a four-hour-a-day contest the men
run nearly all the time they are on the
track.
The worlds record for four hours day,
for six consecutive days, is 1873 miles and
five laps on 2 track of the same length rs
that at the Pavilion. Up to this time
(three days. Howarth has covered more
than one-half that distance. and is as fresh
as when he started on Tuesday night If
he maintains his present speed, which he
no doubt will, he will wipe out the worlds
record. Taylor, Vint, Moore and Nc.
Intyre are close up, and it is anybody's
race as ii stands.
Last night there were several splendid
spurts between these leaders, and no finer
exhibition of the speed and endurance of
man has been witnessed in any OF the
great matches on this coast.
From this on the contest will be even
more spirited, and should attract very
large attendance. There were quite num-
Der of ladies present last evening, and each
selected a favorite in the several bursts of
speed that took place.
Moore is perhaps the finest-looking speci-
men of physical manhood on the track.
He is under 80 years of age, about 5 feet 9
inches in hight and of powerful but grace
ful build. He is, moreover, handsome
fellow, of the strong, manly type, and is
quite fayorite.
Howarth is remarkable performer, and
when he breaks into one of his bursts of
speed ELECTS great applause.
Little Bobby Vint keep up his cat-ike
gait, and declares he will make it warm
for the big fellows before the end of the
race.
Taylor did some splendid running last
night also, as did Mcintyre. Major Wells
left the track at 10 o'clock, having had
trouble with one of his ankles. His bete
noir, the dusky Dave Williams, maintains
his usual place, and looks as if he were
"walkin' for de cake " instead of the gold
medal.
The men will start again this evening at
7:15, and they deserve TO be well patronized.
Tomorrow evening, at the end of the four
hours run, there will be glove contest
between Billy Armstrong, of San Fran
CISCO and John Hanlon, of this city. 1t
will be on the turf, Manager Hall having
arranged to have the ring filled to depth
of several inches with earth. Four ounce
gloves will be used, and the men will box
for SO purse.
Following are the running scores for the
twelve hours three nights up to Ills
o'clock last night:
Howarth, "a miles and three laps; Nc
Intyre, 81 miles and 6 laps; Moore IS
| miles and 2 laps; Vint, 81 miles and laps;
Taylor, SO miles and 2 laps; Abearn, 81
