the "gold bug is permitted to bear
down the value of silver dollar to one
half the amount its face calls for, and
to pay this deprecated dollar to tho
farmer and working man for his pro-
ducts and his labor, thus swinding him
out of one-half it's value. If results
like this do not present sufficient

We want no qualified suffrage in

manlike proposition to eliminate from
the body of electors a considerable

inmate negroes only, the amendment
would have been framed SO as to do
this; but the Federal constitution stood
in the way, and the combined wisdom
and patriotism of the State could
evolve no better plan than the one pro-
posed. This plan will eliminate few

A telegram to the N. 0. Times Demo-
crat dated Opelousas, Aug. 12, gives the
following account of our latest killing ::
Saturday night an unfortunate affair
occurred at the West Bellevue school
bouse, five miles southwest from here,
in which one man lost his life. The peO-
pie of the neighborhood had gathered
at the schoolhouse TO participate in a
dance. While thus engaged IA row
occurred between Guy Hildalgo and an
other young man named Tweedel.
They went ontside to settle their diff
ferences and TweedeI slapped Hildalgo.
The latter pulled his pistol and fred
at Tweedel twice, without iBtiicting
any injury. Then another man named
Castillo stepped in and took Tweedel's
part. HidaIgo's two brothers also took
a hand in the affray, and Castillo was
shot in the left groin by John uidaIgo
and stabbed in the back by Philibert
Hidalgo. The pistol bullet cut an
artery and no medical assistance being
at hand, the wounded man bied to
death ten minutes after having been
taken home. The three Hitdaigo bro
tiieIs were arrested yesterday and
placed in Jail, where they will await
preliminary examination.
Public sentiment in Bellevue neigh
borhOOd is with them, as they are hard
working and law abiding men, while
on the other hand Castillo and the two
Tweedel brothers are considered tough
citizens, who delight in the practice of
going about the country and breaking
nm halls
