An Explanation Wanted.

The Hon. Gabriel Montegut, of Terre-
bonnie, has been posing in Louisiana, in be-
half of the Republican Reconstruction
Lottery of the Pinchback and Herwig per
suation, as an apostle of pure, old-fashion-
ed, Jeffersonian Democracy; but the Dem
ocrats of Lafourche want to know why he
refused to take the stump for the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress against the
Republican candidate, as appears by an
extract from the Thibodaux correspondent
of the Delta, which says:
1t is understood that one of the lottery
speakers to-day will be. Mr.. Gabriel Monte
gut, and the people Of Lafourche are very
anxious to hear him explain the letter
which he wrote during the first campaign
OF Hon. Andrew Price, in which he de-
clined to take the stump for that gentle
man, although he was the regular Demo
cratic nominee and was opposed by the
regular nominee of the Republican party.

Resolutions of Harmony Union.


Whereas, the State Farmers Union, at
Lafayette, have seen tit to enter into an
agreement with the Democratic Anti-Lot-
terry League, for the safety and welfare of
tie State of Louisiana.
Therefore be it resolved, That we of
Big Cane Harmony Union, No. &c. do here
by endorse the said agreement and pledge
our sacred honor to faithfully carry out
same
Resolved further, That we view with
adherence and contempt the attitude of
those men, who went to represent the views
of the Union at Lafayette, and who have
since shown an utter disregard of their
oaths, and wantonly tried to influence our
Order in breaking that Compact
Resolved further, That we look with
suspicion and condemn in unmeasured
terms, the written requests now being sent
throughout this parish, advocating the
candidacy of certain individuals, as we are
firmly Of the opinion that such documents
are in the interest of the Louisiana State
Lottery, and will tend to disrupt the De-
mocratic party.
We reafirm our steadfast opposition to
all monopolies, and will patiently await
the action of the next Parish Democratic
Convention, as that will be the place to
test mans fitness for position.
Be it further resolved, That these reso-
lutions be published in the ST. Landry
CLARION.

In the constitutional convention of 1879,
were thirty white and colored Republicans,
including Pinchback one of the Lottery
kings, and everyone of them voted for the
Lottery article in the constitution. Fifty
nine Democrats voted against it, but twen-
nine Lottery Democrats (so-called) voted
with the Republicans in favor of the Lot
terry, and the Lottery became part of the
organic law. Here, as usual, the Lottery
secured just enough votes without one to
spare, for having worked the Lottery arti-
Gle into the draft of the constitution through
the committee, majority vote was neces-
sary to strike it out; and here, as always,
fort to get rid of the Lottery, just suffi-
cient number of so-called Democrats unite
with the Republicans to prevent it. If such
Democrats are called traitors or Repubi-
cans in disguise, have they any right to
complain? According to the logic of our
present-day Lotteryites, the Lottery is a
Democratic institution; but it could never
have had existence, nor held on to exist
ence, without the votes of Republicans and
niggers that their allies, the so-called "rev
enue amendment" Democrats, pretend to
have such great antipathy for. When it
comes to Anigger IN the wood-pile," the
Lottery has lots of wood piles, and there are
rows of niggers heads, thick as blackbirds,
between every stick; but they are hedged
in from public view by Gordon of "reye-
nue. amendment Democrats.

Some Lottery papers seem to be very
much concerned for fear some of the Ne
groes will vote against the Lottery. All the
Negroes in the Legislature voted for it; ac-
cording to Lottery logic that was right and
Democratic, but when the anti Lottery
people would persuade the Negroes to vote
against the Lottery, the Lottery sheets all
sing ont: "nigger in the wood-pile.np 1t
will take all the Niger vote to carry the
Lottery through, and they know it.

The anti-Lottery picnic in Coulee Croche
at the Leslie place, last Saturday, was a
decided success. There were at least $50
people present. Bountiful supplies of bar
becued meats, sweetmeats and edible deli
cacies were supplied, and the whole man
agement of the affair reflects great credit
on the public-spirited and patriotic men
and women of that neighborhood. Being
near the line of Acadia parish, there were
many persons present from that parish.
Everything was conducted in an orderly
and systematic manner. Capt w. J. Har-
groder was selected as president with Pro-
fessor T. c. Lewis as secretary, and long
list of the prominent men of that vicinity
for yice-presidents; all of whom were pres
ent and took seats with the president. We
regret that we have not been furnished
with list of their names and with copy
of the strong anti-Lottery resolutions which
were unanimously passed There were but
two Lottery men present and Coulee Croche
may be put down as solid against the Lot
terry. Speeches were made in French by
Messrs. Fentenot and Dubuisson, and in
English by Messrs. w. s. Frazee. T. II. Lew
is and Judge Lewis. A strong anti-Lottery
league was formed on the spot. At the
opening of the meeting the secretary cour-
teously invited any Lottery advocate pres
ent to state his views, but there was no
response.

ROBBED HIS MOTHER.
Charles III RInker Takes All de Can Get
and Leaves the Town.


The neighborhood around Eleventh
and West streets was excited yesterday
afternoon over the robbery OF the home
of Mrs. Alice B Rinker a widow who
lives at No. 1112 West street.
The worst feature connected with the
affair was that Charles ii. Rinker, son of
the widow, was the roober. He entered
the house yesterday, stole a silver watch
and some clothing belonging to boarder
bundled up valuable clothing and other
articles belonging to his mother and sis
ter, slipped out of the house with them
and left for parts unknown.
As soon as the robbery was discovered
the police department was notified.
kilograms were sent to several psints
along the railroads for the purpose of
preventing his escape, but they were
not effectusl.
Rinker. who is about 2l years old, bears
an unsavory reputation. This is not bis
first escapade. About one year ago be
was employed as a clerk in the grocery
store of Anderson & Son, on Delaware
avenue. He left town without notice
and took $l15 Of his employers money
with him
His mother was seen this morning and
