CAIN. And Tells of lto.sseanu'a Confesslons of Murders While ins the Condemned Cell. Yesterday Capt. Cain, of the Parish Prison, re ceived the following letter from Jules Guidry, who is to be hanged in Caloaeiei parish on the 25th lust.: GArvETroe, Texas, July 13, 1877. Cant. C. C. Cain, Eeq : Iear sir and friend-I now have no hopes of escaping the gallows, but before dying I thank you for the kind treatment you have shown me, and hope that you may hereafter prosper. I also hope that you will publish to the world the non. feesione that I am about to mike. I have no sins to answer for to my God, nor have I com ml:ted any crime during my life, with the excep tion of the one that I have sacrif8ied my life for, which I do not regret having done; but as the lyimg and dying confessions of Louis Roussean, whose veracity you are fully acquainted with, and as you know, it was not worthy of belief, bha ouused me to din, I wish to make a brief state mnent of what he has often r lated to me in the oindemned cell. He has often told myself and comrades that he would not die contented until he ERUDERED ('C. (. DUON, of St. Laundry; and I must confess that he had a dirk knife brought in the cell for the express purpose of stabbing Duson when he (Duson) came to get him to hang him, but his cowardly heart failed him. He also told us that he desired that if he was hung be hoped the last one of us then in the cell would follow him. I desire further to relate some few of the crimes committed by him, as stated by him to me in the 11ll, ohe of whicn was a poor unfortunate follow he came across In the woods, hewing timber. He acknowledged to me of having taken the ma,'a axe and deliberate ly split his head open. Another of which was the killing of a man by the name of Fontinat, whom he had raised to steal and rob, when, afterward, Fontinat was caught in the oact of stealing, and afterwards took refuge in Texas; and that he (Roussean) knowing that Fontinat would probably be captured and would disclose other crimes they had committed to gether, thereby laying him (ltoqgseau) liable to criminal pro ecotion, he volunteered to capture him; and there was a requisition obtained for the arrest of Fontinat and was placed In the hands of Louis ltouseau, who thereupon went to Texas, whore he rime across Foutinat and aroslted him, making him believe that he would deliver him safely in St. Landry; whereupon the man agreed and went with him (Rousseau) for a dlatance of a hundred yards, whion the poor unfortunate fellow was invted to get down off his horse and take the contents of a lDOUBLE eBAReRtlLED SHOT OUI, which crime he told the authorities he committed for the reason that the fellow tried to make his escape. Another, which is an attempted robbery and murder of an old and respectable citizen of St. Landry, who had a great deal of money buried about his honue, that he (Rousseau) knew of Whereupon he (Roussean) and three or four others, bla'ketod themselves and went to the old enutl'mani'e house for the purpose of robbing him; ha', to his surprise, he fonud that the money had been moved that (lay. Whereupon he got fnrioue, went to the house, and asked the old man to surrender the money; Lu" theolt man had but $6100 or $800, which he offered to Rous s soa; but finding it not enough, Rousseau struck the old man a blow about the bead wITH A RIFLE, and thercupon took fl ght. The old gentleman's name I do nlot exactly remember, but think i" was La Role. who does not know until this day who struck him; but the soar is yet to be seen if the old gentihman is still alive. If not, there are old citizeens oflt. Landry who remember the assault. I He also made me aoquli ited with other crimes t that I wit hereafter give you a detailed account if. but he told me that he had committed crimes that he would not acknowledge in this world; that they were too outrageons to make known. My respects to Dr. Moses and others. You will hear from mn. again. Your obedient servant, JULEi OUIDRY. J. UDIICIA RiHEFORM_. - Nereirnary t tthe peedy Administration of Jullte( In Loulmlana.

JOEPH'n RIEBELLION. The Canaes Which Led to the Rlelna of the IndIans. [N. Y. Herald.] LEWIHTON, I. T., June 28.-The causes of Joseph's outbreak are a chain of cir cumstancos, which I present here as briefly as possible. In 1855 a treaty was made by the United States with all the Indians in this section of the coun try by which they were to relinquish all lands, except the reservation, in con sideration of annuities and certain spe cified presents. Joseph claims to be a non-treaty Indian, and that his father, if he did sign therelinquishment of lands, did so unknowingly, and told him so prior to his death. Joseph, therefore, would not go on the Nez Perces reservation at Lap wai, preferring to go to the buffalo country in the season and spend the rest of his time in the Wallowa Valley. This valley, about which there has lately been so much trouble, i in Oregon, cbse the Idaho line, and is a small reenjatch in the mountains which ils siti by frost almost every night. V ry little grows there except the camas rootbwhioh is eagerly sought by Indian* in this section. The place is rather good for grazing, and here Joseph, with ex-President Grant's per mission, was happy. For some reason Grant revoked his tacit gift-perhaps some solitary white man wanted to dis lodge the fifty-eight families of Joseph's band for his own benefit-and after a few threats Joseph and his brethren gave up the land to settlement. Last spring a couple of white men named McNail and Finlay lost some caynse po nies, and suspecting that the Indians had stolen them started for their camp. On the way they found two Indians whom they disarmed and were making preparations to leave when another Indian came up, who was also armed. They ordered him to throw up his hands, and, on refusing, a struggle ensued, when one of the two whites shot and killed him. It was very evident that these Indians had not stolen the horses, and when Joseph heard of the murder he was very indig nant, had the men identified and imme diately arrested. When' the day ar rived for a preliminary trial before a justice Joseph was unable to get a law yer to prosecute his case, on account of the unpopularity of such a course, and the case was dismissed. This rankled in Joseph's bosom, and on leaving the court he was heard to say that "an Indian can find no justice among white men unless he makes it for himself." Closely following this came the instructions from Washington to force this roaming band to the reser vation with the other Nez Perces. Joseph blustered considerably at first, but on Gen. Howard's arrival there he promised to obey orders, and asked for thirty days in which to gather his flocks and other effects. The request was granted, but the suddenness with which Joseph ac cepted the situation leads old frontiers men in this country to say that he wished merely to pull the wool over Gen. How ard's eyes in order to got time to send runners to all the disaffected and non treaty Indians in the neighborhood to the effect that he intended to make an attack upon isolated travelers. In sub stantiatiit of this several equaws who do washing for families at the Dalles in Oregon, several hundred miles fromn the scene of the outrages, told a week in advance of this trouble, and a half-breed herder told Moore, a big cattle buyer In Eastern Oregon from the Willamette Valley, the very day of the fight that there was plenty of shoot ing going on at that moment on Camas Prairie. It therefore seems likely that Joseph, goaded on to desperation by dwelling on the injustice dlone him, had prearranged the whole affair. lEET S(GARI An A RIVAL TO CANE. Souzthorn Farmer.] The 1t leigh Obserrer says that the agricultural commissioner has ordered several varieties of the sugar beet seed, which he proposes to distribute in every county of the State, his object being to ascertain what sections are best adapt ed to its culture. In France the culti vation of the sugar beet is becoming the principal industry of that prosperous nation, and it is believed that this beet can be made equally as profitable in this State as all the tests and experiments that have been made have proven entirely satis factory. The sugar beets raised in Wake county last year were tested by an eininent chemist at the Centennial with specimens from Delaware, New Jersey, Illinois an4 Connecticut; the average per cent of sugar in those from other States was about four, while the North Carolina beet yielded 16.0 per cent. When we consider the fact that in France 14 per cent of sugar is con sidered extraordinary and far beyond the average, this is a good showing tre North Carolina. PUBLIC OPINION. IILAINE THEIR CHAMPION. (Quinoy (Ill.) Herald.] Blaine is, as yet, the only champion of the Mexican border robbers on this side the line. HAMPTON AND NICHOLIS HAVE KEPT THEIi PLED(ES. [Oourier-Journa'.] The organs of Mr. Blaine have a great deal to say about the "violations of solemn pledges" by Govs. Hampton and Nicholls. The "pledges" Hampton and Nicholls gave was for good govern ment and protection for whites and blacks, and this they have kept, much to the gratification of both whites and blacks, who, under the rule of shamber lain and Packard, had no protection whatever, and were plundered by Re publian adventurers to their last dollar. THE TOO FREQUENT PITKIN. iN. Y. Tribune.] Will Pitkin be good enough to sub side? The general public, we venture to inform him, has got a stomach full of him and wants no more. For several months now we have been hearing at intervals a great deal more about Pit kin than anybody, except possibly Pit kin himself, cared to know. Originally, .i Pitkin was the merest accident of a complicated political situation. Neith he nor the office he held had the sligb eat significance except as he tumbled In ' to the surface like a wart on the fin of a - porpoise. The office of United States arshal, which he briefly held, is of no such consequence as to give any of his - -, proceedings a public interest outside A the community upon which he was the visitaton of an abgry Providence, and there is no excuse In him or any of his belongings for this constant thrusting himself and his purposes before a wea ry public. MORE THAN AN APOLOGY SHOTLD BE DE MANDED FROM SPAIN. [New York Times.] Spanish cruisers off the coast of Cuba . have hit on a new plan to drive Ameri cans away from the whaling grounds of that region. It is customary now to * seize and detain a vessel when in the midst of a "catch," on pretense of ex amining her papers. Of course the papers are found to be all right, after five days have been spent over them; but, in the meantime the whales have disappeared and the luckless mariners depart !n bad temper. The game was tried with the Ellen Rispah not long ago, and now the schooner Rising Sun has been treated in the same way. The State Department may demand an apol ogy but apologies do not pay for a spoiled voyage. MEXICO MUST BE ANNEXED. [New York Graphic.] If Mexico is not able to keep the peace along its line of frontier the United States must establish good gov ernment there; and that it may do so It must annex so much of the territory of Mexico as will reduce the boundary line to such a length that Mexico will be able to do her share of national duty on her side of it. At present the better elements of society in Mexico have too much territory and too many disorderly residents to attend to. Less territory would give a better chance to Mexico of preserving her independence in a de sirable way in the future. Whether our government is willing or not to assume the task of bringing the races on the other side of the Texas frontier within the domain of law and order, it must eventually undertake it sooner or later. REST FROM PARTISAN STRIFE. [Philadelphia Times.] In at least two Southern States Vir ginia and Mississippi, there, will be no opposition to the Conservative or Demo cratic tickets in the campaign soon to begin. So much the better for Virginia and Mississippi. What these States need Mississippi especially, about as much as anything else, is a season of rest from partisan strife and the obliter- % ation of the color line by which parfies have heretofore been divided. Politica s have been the bane of the South, aan the color question, magnified for part l' san purposes, has threatened one rs. with disgrace and the other with de struction. Whdn living issues upon which another division is necessary shall arise there will be no difficulty about the organization of new parties. In the meantime, since the Democrats will have undisputed sway, there will be no troublein fixing the responsibility for good or bad government that may follow. REPUBLICANS RIEfGNINO--ALAIM IN THE PARTY. [N. Y. Ban.] We are sorry to see that many Repub lican officeholders are sufficiently mean-spirited to resign their posts in political organizations, in obedience to Mr. Hayes arbitrary order. Why do they not hold on until they are suspend ed, and then test the legality of the or der before the SMnate? Is it likely that Mr. Blaine or Mr. Conkling will sus tain a measure so suicidal to their own party? The RIepublicans are already mani festing grest anxiety and alarm at the effect of this order on the next elections. They say that the officeholders consti tute the life, the active element in their political organizations; and if they are forced out, mere disinterested patriotism will not make their places good. But it will not be the mere manage ment of the officeholders in political or ganizations that the Republicans will lose in consequence of this order. They / will lose largely, also, through the odi um which attaches to such an oporess ive measure. It would be an arbitrary order for a king to issue; how much - becoming in the chief magistrate people whose first and proudest > their freedom I - --- ,.o~u----- n TIlE .
