Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee,
welcomed the veterans at the re-
cent convention of the Confederates
at Nashville in these beautiful and
patriotic words:
81 trust in God tina: the struggles
of the future will be the struggles of
peace, and not of war. The hand
of secession will never be lifted up
again. The danger of the republic
now lies in mailed hand OF central
lied power, and the South will yet
be the bulwark of American. liberty.
If you ask me why, I answer it is
the only section left which is purely
American; l answer that anarchy
can not live on Southern soil; I
answer that the South has started
on a new line of march, and, while
we love the past for it's precious
memories, our faces are turned to-
ward the morning.
"Let the silver trumpets sound
| the Jubilee of peace. Let the vet
Grams shout who wore the blue.
Let them kiss the silken folds of the
gorgeous ensign of the republic
and fling it to the breeze and sing
the national hymn.
seLet the veterans bow who wore

salute the national flag. 1t is the
flag of the inseparable Union. Lei

men who wore the blue and rejoice

of equity. The company has also

in so doing and claims that the

the judiciary of the State. He
purposes doing this through the
constitutional convention, and takes
the initiative in inaugurating a
general movement throughout the
State with that aim in view. A
meeting of the lawyers of Iberia has
already been held and the other
parishes have been asked to dc
likewise. We think Mr.. Dulany'<
stand is we'll advised and should be

Concealed WEAPONS.

CONCEALED. WEAPONS.
In these latter days there seems
to have broken out a mania for
carrying q pistol or some other
dangerous and deadly weapon, es-
pecially among the younger class OF
both white and colored.
When the young boys have
reached a certain age they think
that to be men they must have
ssgun" in order to protect them
selves from some fancied foe lurk-
ing around some corner ready to
pounce upon them as they pass.
This habit has been discussed
and has been attributed to the
cheapness of pistols and the only
remedy is to impose a high tax on
the manufacturers of arms and then
the price of all arms would
be SO high that the hoodlum-
istic white boy and the ignorant
| ..nigger" could not afford to Pur-
chase a pistol at SO high a price.
The Gazette is pleased to note that
the municipal and parish officials
are waging vigorous warfare
against that class who are contin-
ually carrying concealed weapons.
Within the last month the munich
pal officials have arrested not less
than fifteen violators of the ordi-
rance relative to carrying con-
| cealed wea pons. And it is the in
tention of the officers of Lafayette
city and parish to completely crush
this growing habit and all are
! warned not to come within the
limits of Lafayette parish unless
they leave their *tgun" at home.
