A Reconstruction "Reminiscences.
Hon. w. Jasper Blackburn, well
knownas a Republican politician and
Office holder in Louisiana during the
reconstruction period, died in Little
Rock, Ark, about six weeks ago. He
was the editor of the Homer llliad, a
brilliant writer, bitter in invective,
and shrewd as a political manager.
Heprobahly engendered more hostili-
ty in North Louisiana than any man
that ever figured in that section. He
was not a bad man at heart, but his
strong prejudice and aggressiveness
caused him to be almost universally
hated. One of the most red hot and
eloquent discussions this writer ever
heard was in 1866. between w. j.
Blackburn and Wilbur F. Blackman,
then young man brim-full OF patri-
otism and eloquence. Thelast named
is now hepopular Judge W. F. Black
man, of this judicial district, whose
old-time eloquence and fire has not
greatly abated, though more than
thirty years have elapsed since he
won his first spurs ON forensic fields
in north Louisiana.
