What Others Think.

per and gives this also just to let
the people know what others out.
side of Louisiana have to say
about the affairs of the South.
The following is from the Globe.
! Democrat. There are some facts
stated that hit the nail on the
head:
It is evident that the solidity OF
the Democratic party in the South
is not so we'll assured as it has
been heretofore. The contests
for delegates to the Chicago con-
vention go to show very plainly
that the bt.sses no longer control
the organization in an absolute
sense. There are sources of dis
cord and indications of revolt in
the case that manifestly threated
to bring about a new condition of
things. In every State there are
two factions and the antagonism
between them is pronounced and
uncompromising.
On the surface, this conflict
seems to relate only to differences
of opinion in regard to rival can
didates for the presidential no.
mination, but there is good reason
to believe that it has a deep
meaning, and that the time is "a
pidly approaching when force of
habit will not suffice to preserve
the unity of the party. A new
generation has grown up in the
South since the war, under new
influence and with the new oppor-
tunities. 1t may not be any bet
tor than the preceding one in
point of sound and practicable
wisdom, but it is different, at any
rate, and it insists upon being re-
cognized in the adjustment of po-
litical interests and the regula-
ton of party affairs. The old
leaders may cry peace in their
loudest tones, but the trouble ex-
lists, nevertheless, and it is likely
to increase rather than to dimin-

Homicide.

We AHCU Viidt On SATURDAY
, last, difficulty occurred between
H. J. Fisher and Cleophas Co.
meau, both of this parish, at
Pointe-apx-Loups Springs, in
which the latter was shot seven
times, and from the effects of
which he died in a few hours.
The rumors relating to the cir
cumstances under which it occur
ell are numerous and in some re-
spects irrecOncilable. We are not
prepared to give any one of them,
as the most reliable. AS the mat
ter must necessarily undergo a
rigid judicial examination, we for
bear to more than give some of
the facts which appear to be adj
mitted in the narrative concern
ing it COmeau had breakfasted
with Fisher that morning in a
friendly manner, and had ordered
his servant to harness his team
preparatory to leaving. The wo-
men had gone out of the house
into different parts of the garden
and orchard. When the shooting
began the two, c and F, were in
front of the house. Els reported
to have gotten possession of Cs
pistol which had been lying ON the
table in the house and it was with
it, that he did much of the shoot
ing. The servant hearing the re-
ports, started from the stable TO
see what it meant, he vas asked
bv one of the ladies why he was
going to the house? Upon being
answered, she told him to go back,
that it was nothing. The boy re-
turned and after getting the team
ready, went to let Comeau know
it. Upon going around the house
he found him lying on the ground
in the yard, in an apparently dy-
ing condition. c. was conscious,
and recognizing, told him to 60
and let the neighbors know that
Fisher had shot and killed him.
To 60 as fast as possible, and say
nothing to Fisher who was stand
ing near by in the yard. The boy
hurried on, but before anyone
rould reach the house, Fisher had
gone back to COmeau and finding
him still alive, took up a Winche-
ster rifle and shot him twice more.
In a short time persons came in
and found G. still living and per-
fectly in his senses. He made
some statement to the effect that

and unarmed. August Miller, a
