The vacancy in the Office Of the
Clerk OF Court, caused by the death
Of HI. w. C.. Morgan, will have
to be filed by appointment by the
Governor. There are doubtless q
number Of aspirants for the position,
but We auggest the name Of Col.
w. +. Hosmer as being eminsntly
qualified for the position. He i =
native Of our town, . we'll known
citizen aud property owner, and We
believe his appointment would give
universal satisfaction to the people.
We make this suggestion owing to
his peculiar fitness for the position,
and believe he would make IN off,
cient and capable Clerk Of Court.

ference may be attributed the ma
jority OF race troubles In the South,
II these alleged "missionaries'' and
''prelchers'' from the North would
pay more attention to preaching
Christ and less to .he political con-
dition Of the negro, it would be far
better for the negro. II our peo-
pie would ornament the trees with
. few Of these ssmissionaries'' who
come here melting the negroes to
blcodshed, rape and incendiarism,
1t might have7a tendency to make
their visits . little less frequent, and
would contribute to the welfare OF

A WAR AT ANTE.

AxlrE CrrY, June 28.-rSpec:al
to Daily States. -The good citi-
sens Of Amite City have been
alarmed for some time past by ru-
mons that . number Of negroes
were holding secret meetings. and
quietly buying up arms and ammu-
milton. These negroes were gener-
ally known - bad citizens in this
community.
About ten days ago two white
men, claiming to be missionaries,
came here and began to preach {,
the negroes. They lived among
and with the negroes, and it was
said were advising them to demand
higher wages, social recognition,
etc. A number OF young men wait
ed on them and warned them to
live with their own e3ple or leave.
While quietly talking with one Ken
drick, the negro preachar in charge
Ut the church at this place, these
young men were fired on by some
negroes and several Of them wound
ed. This occurred on Monday
night.
On Tuesday night George How.
ard, . b~Oisterous negro, known to
be the leader OF those who did the
sh1oting on Monday night, tried all
over town to buy buckshot, saying
he was accused Of shooting white
men by some white man, and that
he proposed to
NARk HIN WITH BUcKsuOr.
The negroes here and at other
places along the railroad in this
parish have manifested . DISPOSE.
ton to give trouble for some time
past at several points. buying arms
and ammunition. To-day our
patience became exhausted, and
learning that the negroes were to
hold . large meeting tonight head
ed by the unruly spirits who had
been the cause Of al this alarm,
they determined to prevent further
trouble by decisive action.
This morning at 8 o'clock ABOUT
200 armed men entered the town
In four directions. George Howard
vas killed in attempting to get away.
and two Others slightly wounded.
Four others of the leaders were
and ordered to leave the
country. A demand WIS then made
Tor the arms recently bought by the
negroes. and the number and char
acter Of the weapons discovered
lully justified the alarm our people
had long felt. The guns ware all
[ound to be loaded with buckshot.
There are no deer near here, and
rery little hunting b done even by
whites, yet the negroes had
quantities Of buckshot.
They had also tried to buy VIM
chester rifles from several persons
md had secured one. One of the
eaders had yesterday received a
OF Of cartridges from New Orleans
~ the c3lored porter on the pas
train. Everything is quiet
low, and the more conservative
Of the negroes say they can
'ot blame the whites for what they
ave done. No one was disturbed
'ut those known to belong to the
crowd.
Referring to the above, the Ham,
nond Leader says;
One Of the results Of Northern in
ermeddling with the negroes Of the
is shown in the recent trou-
lie at Amite City. To snca irte:-

THE LOTTERY BILL PASSED,



The Legislature has carried out
the wishes OF the people and decid-
ed to submit to their vote the ques-
ton whether the charter of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company
shall be extended or not. 1t could
not have dore otherwise without
violating Democratic principles.
The people. not the Legislature,
are the source Of all power, and
when they demand the right to
be heard on this question, and ia
express their views thereon by q
popular election, that right could
not be refused them-and they ex-
pressed their wishes 30 clearly in
the elections held, in petitions, In
mass meetings and in other ways
that no one could denv. or did
deny-that they desired to have
the lottery proposition submitted to
them.
1t is unfortunate in one sense
that the matter could not be arrang.
ed in the Legislature without the
bitter fight that was made there, %
it would have produced harmony
and saved . great deal of lexisla-
tive time that was lost. On the
other hand, the debate has enlight.
ened the people. No question was
ever SO thoroughly discussed rs
this. It has been argued, pro and
con. from every possible point Of
view, and, il the question were sub
mitted tomorrow, it could be voted
on intelligently BY all-with what
result the Ants themselves nc.
knowledge by seeking to prevent
such election. No one can deny
that the supporters Of the bill
those who thought that Mr.. Norris
proposition was . good one, which
ought to be accepted, aud those
who thought it should, ct least, be
submitted to an election-tried
hard to secure harmony and unity
OF purpose among the white people
Of the State. The proposition for
white primaries was presented sever
times to the Ants, but refused
as often by them or coupled with
conditions. It would
been better had the PROPOSE
ton been agreed to, as it would
have prevented any chance Of di-
OF d:sunion In the ranks of
lie whites.
The question is disposed OF, for
the present at least. Two years
rom now it will come up again to
be voted on. We have no doubt
IF the result then. The people of
are not uncertain or
tickle. They believe now that the
proposition should be accepted, and
will believe it two years hence.
The arguments pro and con have
been presented thoroughly, and now
hat the matter has been definitely
determined In the Legislature, they
rest awhile. That body has
lone its duty by the people and
eferred this matter to them-and
he people Of Louisiana will do their
lty also, As the5 have done in
he past. They have heard the
rguments of the Ants and declare
hat there is no force in them
nd they do not care to have these
gone over and discussed
gain and again for two long years.
lad the friends Of the lottery bill
ad their way, the question would
ave been disposed Of at an early
~ by . white primary.
