Too much care cannot be used
with small children during the hot
weather Of the summer months 10
guard against howell troubles. AS
a rule it only necessary 10 give the
child a dose of custor oil to correct
any disorder Of the bowels. Do
not use any substitute, but give
the old. fashioned castor oil, and see
that it fresh, as rancid oil nauseates
and has tendency to gripe If
this does not check the bowels
give Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and then a
dose of castor oil, and the desease
may be checked in its incepiency
and all danger avoided. The cas-
tor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once aud kept ready
for use as soon at the first incica-
of any bowel trouble appears. This
is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon
with implicit confidence even in
cases of cholera infantum. For
sale by all druggists.

that meeting Of the single statehood executive com
mi,tee should Be called al once and chairman for
the Indian Territory portion Of the committee should
be elected Steps should then be taxed to call
single statehood convention in Indian Territory.
This is undoubtedly the proper method for calling
the convention and it should be pushed

PROCLAMATION.

Fellow citizens ! Having organ
lied ourselves as vigilance commit
tees, that is, having constituted
ourselves a tribunal entirely indie
pendent of the other judicial tri
bunals create,; by law, we owe II
to ourselves, as well as to you, to
give the reasons that have driven
us into the revolutionary move
ment that we have inaugurated.
We address ourselves to the
honest people of the State, our
peers in integrity, and who, like
us, bow in sweet reverence to the
laws enacted for the protection of
Society. We would blush to give
any explanation either to the
bandits who infest the district, or
to their friends or accOmplices--
We incline ourselves before that
justice-that sanity justice that
shields the innocent and strikes
the guilty; we look her IN the face,
fellow citizens, because we have
violated none of the duties that
society imposes on its members
This being promised, we veil her
statue so often msulted and spat
upon by the bandits, and we say
to those, who, like us. have at
heart the prosperity and dignity
of their native state: Fellow cltl-
zens, we have been subjected to a
system Of rapine and p'under
without parallel in this country;
our property is destroyed daily
and hourly; our houses are bnrgar
lied and ritied of their contents;
crime has it's army in our midst
with Its generals, officers and
s,ldiers-We will tell you blunlly
| ho it is that crime holds high
carnival in our midst-The jury
has failed most miserably in its
mi sslon. 1t ss41s been guilty il

disclose the name of the thief to
avoid conviction, but he stubborn
ly refused to speak The ease
was tried, the evidence was direct
and conclusive, and yet he was ac
qulted-During the whole trial he
had shown no nervousness, and his
acquittal seemed to be no matter
of surprise to him-When asked
by his counsel to explain how
such a verdict could have been
rendered by the jury, he smiled
and sald-'I can speak now,
although | will give no names
The man that sold me the COW was
on that jury, and there were.
besides him, five others that
belong to his gang was sure of
an acquittal-Had | given bis
name, my store would now be in
ashes, and | would probably be
dead thought it more prudent
to take my chances.
These two anecdotes, serve to
show the exact state of affairs in
the Teche region in the year 1859.
The courts, although presided
over by honest and able judges,
were powerless to reach the viola
tors OF the law, protected as they
were by perjured witnesses and
courrupt jurors, and crime, stalk
ing in its ugliness in broad day
light, went unwhipped of justice.
The people, to their dlsmay, had
found that they were encompassed
by an organization of bandits,
extending over the five Attaka-
pas parishes-The state of affairs
demanded immediate and ener.
getic action, unless checked, this
growing evil might prevade the
whole body polite and social, and
be productive Of the most disas
trOus results. In this emergency,
the people did not hes itate, but
rose in a body for self protection,
and decided to wage a merciless
war upon those that had thrown
the gauntlet to sOciety-They
decided that, henceforth, no viola
tor of the law should be subjected
to the farce Of a criminal tria'
before the State Courts. but hat
these trials should be had before
the tribunal of the sOverei. n
people. A code Of .aws,as short and
almost as severe as the DRAGON an
Code, was adopted Its prov isions
were easy Of Interpretation and
the penalties proved as easy Of
aDI,licatiOn-TIic lash Exile

The people had now organized
\ az vigilance committees to carr.
out their purposes and objects, and
they issued the following procla
nation in which these purposes
and objects are cOnclsely and
clearly set forth.
