of title submitted to him. Mr.. Montgom-
cry inquired whether the abstract obtained
from the Leuiiis heirs to Brousseau,
lhomas d. Hatch, and from Thomas d
Hatch to Brousseau Of an interest in the
Leoris estate. Mr. Brousseau replied that
it did. but Major Bell gently reminded
him that he WAS mistaken; that such deeds
did not appear in the abstract had been
used in the case. Mr.. Brousseau also got
somewhat tangled up in his statements as
to the extent of his interest in the Leonis
estate, these no agreeing with the evidence
OF the deeds themse elves.
Judge Clark then took hand in the dis
cussion and asked Mr.. Brousseau if he had
admitted in hi. answer, as attorney for the
Domecs, that the Leouis estate was entitled
to hve-sixths of the Escorpion. Brousseau
replied that ii il we're shown to him that he
had made mistake he would amend the
answer. "If the estate of Leonis was adj
judged to be entitled to less than hve-sixths
of the ranch," asked Judge Clark, "would
you be entitled TO less?'' To this question

Montgomery had come into the office
after the Domecs and somewhat in the
guise of an intruder.
The conclusion of the whole matter was
that the final dis ribution of the Leonis es-

await further proceedings made necessary
by the velopments; Major Bell an
nounced to the court that he should insist
upon his client, Baker, substituting an
asked The court IN he relieved Of div aa
guardian ad litern of he minor, and Mr..
Montgomery was appointed to look after
the interests of that person in the further

suit will be that the Leonis estate will have
to fight for it's interest in the Escoripon
ranch, and that the court will yet have to
decide what that interest is.

A Few Pertinent Questions.

The Sugar Republicans object to ne
groes on their Central Committee, but
expect to capture their votes to ride in
to Office. The negroes are good enough
as voters, but they must not aspire
to any political preferment. This
is very good arrangement for the
white bosses, if the negroes only sub
init to it.
But will the negroes who comprise
nine tenths OF tho Republican party in
this State acquIesce to il ? Will they
consent TO let their white brethren in
the party lead and they follow meekly 7
Or will they, hnman-like, feeling the
importance Of their numerical strength,
assert their power and crush out the
whites from leadership in their party 7
Will they submit to white mans domi-
nation IT the negroes submit to
the white Republicans leadership in
the present campaign. will not Republic
can success iu the State revive their
hopes of domination aud inspire them
to urge their claims for recognition on
their white allies9

New lDerla enterprise.
The attempt to inject the negro into
politics in this parish, at
Jeanerette, on Monday last. was nipped
in the bud by a band of staunch citi-
zens of our sister town, who made
known their determination that the
white men of Iberia should settle their
political differences without the inter-
vention of the negro, the evident iDten
ton of certain white men to the cou-
trary Notwithstanding. The glitter Of
few of Winchester's latest improved
implements on the occasion disturbed
their equanimity. The effect
was magical, and the transformation
complete-there are DO more advocates
of negro suffrage in that neck o'woods,
and out of registration of one hun
dred and thirty ight electors there is
not black streak dow that entire col
umn. All honor to Jeanerette and her
simon-pure white Democracy. Her
action teaches the renegade Democrats
of this parish, who refused arbitration
at a white primary, that they cannot
ride into power on dicker with the
combined enemies of Democracy. with
the negro in it, and with the ulterior
purpose of turning this parish over
bodily to the Republican party in the
Presidential election.

silver when we have won the battle

each parish in the State elects it's dele
gates to the State convention that will
be called to meet after the State elec-

a majority OF delegates in favor Of free
