Prejudice or Ignorance.

The last grand jury which has seated
here at this term of court has been quite
severely criticized by number of our
citizens, for their finding in the case of
the State VS.. Chas. Lasseigne, who with
out cause or provocatiOn, whipped and
shot young negro OH the public road,
for the only reason that the negro did
not salute Lasseigne when he passed by
him.
The grand jury has distinguished it.
self by finding no true bill against Las
seigne.
The same grand jury, on the same day,
has returned true bill against DIR. lilly,
for simple assault, without any arm
with which he could do any serious in
jury to his antagonist, he could not even
strike any hard blows with his hands,
because the persons present when this
affair occurred, separated them whenever
An attempt to strike any blow was made.
just think of the justice of our juries,
in a case where the life Of person is
in danger, when that person is whipped
and shot without any cause OF prOvoca-
tion, the grand jury finds no true bill,
while in the other case, when the only
danger to the person assaulted would be
a bruiSe of the nose or black eye, and
yet, the grand iury finds crime in this
assault and reports true bill.
When the grand jury ballOtted in the
case Of Lasseigne they stood for a true
bill and 10 against true bill and one
absent.
This is certainly the result of strong
prejudice Oh the part of the jury, or of
gross Ignorance or perhaps they possessed
the double qualification 'fignorance and
prejudice.
Oh justice, where art thou

LAFAYETTE, La. Sept. 10.-This COM
munity has been stirred considerably to-
day over tragedy enacted here last
night, some five or six miles from town.
News Of it came this morning, and the
coroner and sheriff repaired TO the scene
and instituted an investigation.
The coroner impaneled jury and
viewei the bodies of three persOns-One,
that of an old negro, ROsemOnd COrmier;
another that Of his daughter, aged about
fifteen years, and third, that of Aristide
Judice COmOnty, known as John Judice,
young white man well known here. 1t
appears that body of masked men were
making round in that section OF the
parish known as Lanse Berluchan, and
after whipping Lucien Montgomery and
Joseph Cobb, both cOlOred, visited Rose
mond. This negro was whipped some
three or four months since, and is said
TO have made the statement that he
would die before he should be whipped
again, and kept hi+ word.
As near as can be learned, the crowd
went to his house, and on his failing to
open the door broke it down, and Rose
mOnd thereupOn Immediately opened fire
on them. Judice fell to the ground,
with part of his head blown away. The
negro then jumped through a window and
ran to the field, where he was shortly al
ter caught and shot to death. This is
based upon the statement made by the
wife Of ROsemOnd, who testified before
the cOroner's jury The girl was also in
the house but did not run. She was
found afterward with her throat cut
from ear to ear.
THE TIMES-DEMOCRAT correspondent
saw Deputy Sheriff Bradley this after
noon, who stated that he picked up ff-
teen empty Winchester shells near the
house and that the house was complete
ly riddled.
Mr.. c. Doucet, living near the scene OF
the killing, testified before the Inquest
that during the night he was aroused and
going out to ascertain the cause found
three men hitching horse to his hack,
and calling to them to know what they
wanted they stated that one of their men
had been killed and they were going to
take him home. lie did not recognize
any of them.
number OF witnesses were examined
by the coroner, but none Of the crowd
were identified. Deputy Sheriff Bradley
says he saw the negro Joseph Cobb, and
he was so seriously whipped and beat
about the head and face he will not be
able TO work for months. Lucien Mont
gomery was also severely whipped. II Is
rumored that one other OF the crowd
was wounded when young Judice was
killed

Lafayette Regulators at Work

As will be seen elsewhere by a special
we copy from the Times-DemOcrat, the
Lafayette regulators have again been at
their murderOuS work. But this time
not in bold defiance of the law in broad
day light. No, they are coward assassin 5
and fear the law, they have adopted the
Indiana White Caps system to commit
their crimes, protected by the night and
under cover of the mask.
Monday night these murder ers have
undertaken TO whip some negroes in that
parish for no other reason, as reported TO
the daily press, that they are politicians
and had voted for Minor. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that these White Caps are local
politicians who would probably be appOs-
ed by these negro politicians, who are
beyond their control, hence the chastise-
ment.
Two of the negroes submitted to the
whipping, but ROSemOnd COrmier who
was whipped once before, had made on
oath that he would die before he be whip
ped again, and when called by the regu-
lators, refused TO open his door which
was forced, and when the men appeared
at the door of his cabin fired i'll the band
killing one John Judice and it is believed
wounded some other members of the
masked band. After firing the two bar
rels OF his gun Cormier escaped by the
back door in corn patch, but was soon
captured. shot to death and Drained with
the butts of the murderers' guns. Not
satisfied with this, they took the fifteen
year old daughter of Cormier, who. says
the Times Democrat, had committed the
objectionable sin of calling two of the
murderers by their names, and for this,
had her throat cut from ear to ear.
The negroes are said to be natives OF
the locality and are good and peacable
citizens, and the good people of that Sec
ton never had any complaint against
any OF them.
i lie dulHOllilt Stdtc anu pdiio oHouiu
take every possible means to bring these
criminals to trial. The good people OF
the parish shO.ld join the authorities in
their good work, and organize law an(
order associations to help the authoritie:
to stamp out and crush such regulating
organizations which threaten the safety
and security of every one.
OF course, there are good and hOnes
people in these organizations, but thes'
are not TO be feared, but there are al
ways few evil disposed persons wh'
will never miss an opportunity to wreal
vengeance upon an enemy, political ol
otherwise, and when these persons arr
banded together there is no telling
where they will stop. Aud for this rea
