Those who preferred Gus E. Fontenot
as a candidate for the Senate will not
only vote for Barousse. but if necessary
will work for him. We have nothing
but good words for him and will do our
duty in securing his election. We pre-
ferred Mr.. Fontenot, but yield our pre-

party have made. We accordingly place
MIR. Barousse's name at the head of our

there, and by dint of industry and per

the modest salary paid him by the gov

ample worthy of imitation. He has lit
orally been the architect of his own for

enticed from his duties or his studies by
the ruinous allurements of the gay capi-
tai. He is the eldest son of l.. A. San

who will graduate in June next at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. He pur-
poses resigning his position in the War

say that, judging his future by his past,
we may expect for him brilliant and

MT. BarOusse's name at the head of our
Senate.
A terrible shooting scrape occurred
near Church Point on the night of the
10th. in which one man was killed, an
other fatally wounded, and, it is said,
third severly hurt. A telegram from
Rayne to the N. 0. Picayunc, dated
April II, says:
An awful tragedy occurred near
Churh Point, in this parish, on last
night. Felix Legcr, after having be-
come involved in a quarrel with Sos
theme and Armand Daigie, in Il saloon
at Church Point, on his returning home
met the two Daigles, who attempted to

Daigle and wounding his brother Le-
ger came to Crowley this morning and
surrendered to the Sheriff.
Mr.. HOmere Barousse has been nOmi-
mated for the State Senate by Demo
cratic primary and the COURIER and its
friends will support him, but we must
enter our protest against some of the
tactics adopted to defeat Mr.. Gus E.
Fontenot. For instance, it was charged
here at the last moment, and 10y news
papers supporting his opponent, that if
he did not get the nomination he would
run Notwithstanding. This is infamous.
After Mr.. Fontenot had announced him
self as a candidate in the newspapers he
went into an agreement to submit his
claims to IA primary, aud he and his
friends were in homer bound to abide
by the result. Hence, the charge that
they would follow the example of those
who robbed McEnery of the governor
ship is resented by them with fierce in
dignation. This is very poor way to
bring about unity 1!nd good feeling in
the party.
