THE RICELAND BEACON. tic WILEY P. AIGHA, - - Editor., 8. B. BAIRD, Associate Editor & Publisher OFFICIAL1JOURNAL OF RICHILAND. i e Rayville, La., Oct. 18, 1813,C FROM RIOHLAID PARISH,. ju IarvTILLT, September 30, 175;3. at Fulrma RsPUBaLICA : n: It may interest your readers to hear from 1 m this part of the State, through which I am now 6 traveling. Two papers are published in this la parish (Richland), but they do not give the news unless it suits them. They are Demo- 1 c.ratic sheets, and their mission is not to enlight- P en the people by telling the truth, but to dle ceive and mislead by falsehood. The Re publican exchanges which cometothe Beacon llice are not even read y the editor. Its rea ders do not know that Blanchard has eonfess edI. As to local outrages, these papers are carefully silent. ' On the nineteenth of last August one Rob- IC crt Williams, who claimed to be a constable, arrested a colored matt, Joshua Harris, near ti La'ourche lake, eight miles from Ray:ille Ih lie gave no reason for the arest, bttt tld Hanr a ris he must go before a justice at Girard, for a examination. After proceeding a short distance, five arm ed men met Williams and anrris,.,an ordered i the constable to give up the irisoner to them, Paying they "-wanted himn." Of course, these five good citizens had their way. They took Harris and led him off into the woods. It t doesr not appear what became of Williams just then. It is certain, however, that he made t no resistance, Iand was suflfered to go Ione tunmolested. Harris was made to lie down, atd his captors commenced whipping him I They gave nn reason for it. lie was not told why Williams arrested him in the first place, tnor why these five men took him front the c.(' able and whipped him. While lwating " ':.:!mey said tlhey tieant to kill him. Up, to t. ,: noe Harris 'tad subtnmtted quietly, thii:k il,; th:at was the best course to save his life. but on being told they intended to kill him, he resolved to make an etflrt to escape, so lie sprang up suddenly, anid ran. The men seiz edl their guns and fired at him, but he dashed into the thickets and managed to elude pur suit. He was, however, sev, rely wolndedttl. Tlhose who saw hin soon after lescrbt himit as -fu'll of shot." A great numbel.r of sdhots struck him, inllicting flesh wounds. andl what appeared to have been a pistil ball passedl through his side. He knew the men, and gave their names, as follows : Byrn Burnett, Mr. lyman, Sam M. Dully, Mr. Cuoony and Henry Spencer. Not long after this outrage warrants were issued for their arrest, biut no arrests were made. Plenty of time was allowed to ena Isle the accused to leave the parish, and they left. In a few weeks or months they will be back, and nothing will be done. Many such outrages are committed which never become public. In parts of Richiand and Franklin, and in certain communities in other parishes, the colored people are not free. They do not enjoy the rights of freemen. They receive no protection from the law, and are often most shiamefully wronged and in jiured without hope of justice. Men in Ray ville openly say that certain Republicans cught to be killed. Senator Crawford is one thus honored. Public schools dlonot exist in Richland. The old board, which was ap pointed early in 1871 was Democratic, and the fiends were used Ibr the benefit of a eg tain class and not for the good of all the peo pie, This old board turned over to the pres ent school directors a debt with no money to pay it. After deducting the amount of the debt the present board did not have enougil money to establish schools until it was too late to do any good this year, and with the ad vice of the division superintendent. they le termined to make no attempt till after theeng of the cotton picking season. Most of the children are in the fields now. and schools opened in September would have few pu pils. The proceeds of the parish tax will enable the board to build school houses next year' au-I they expect to begin the work of edues tion in earnest. Of the IN) colored children in the parish, less than one fifth have received the slighteatbenefit from the $5r000 which was spent ostensibly for school lpurposes. The present hoard will do justice to all. Hoping to write to you again. I remain, SCRUTA'OR. We copy the above:communication from a late namber f the New Orleans R ublircan It will no doubt astonish many of our less esspecting readers, in this immediate vicinity, to find that so great a personage as the Chief of Liars, did actusllypmae through the town of Rayville in the shape of a hunman being. Among the readers of the BhAcow, we larve a considerable number of professed RepuMbli. eans, a he will be erlally surprised at the startling revelations made in their behall by this lying "Scrutator." whom they will recog nize as a stard of premature birth wboowes his existencae to an extraordinary effort of the Princess of lies to stretch human ingenuity for fabricating purposes-and the author of "Scru. tataor" ame forth. It is indeed a pitiable stateof affairs in which peor humanity can sink so deep in infamy as to lie just for the fun ol it. We are unable to ider.tiy this bump on atre's putrefaction who has thus "sctatede" aroundml Rayville, andti wrote such lare-fiaced lies about our people with noneha. lance that would almost mnake Satan blush : lut he is evidently the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, commissioned, quali8ed and sent forth fronm the Counecil Chamber of Paa deamoainim, to teach young ideas how to lie and steal. lie would make people believe that he is a member of the republican party, btt he lies. No political party evea, howev. er demealiaed, ever owned a member as atterly destitute of principle and veracity. He is naugt hit a flt-blow on the page of nature. We have too much respect even for tbhe good name of car political opponets not to refute the claim which this two-legged scrutating-animal insect would nmake to their sympsthles. We do nt believe that there is a citiaeu in the Parish of Richland·, white or bahek, demo ocuat or republican, but who will agree with usIa IyMng that no political dierence has bloka the peace betwen tDhe rae, nor caus ad de least disaundanee or injustie so any teaber of eidther race or party herebout withi the past twelve moths.

C Concerning the impartiality of our local re ports every render of the Bascox is able to It juidge for himself; and if the author of the tl above communnication will give us his real a name, no nmatter under what political cloak lie may be hidiling, we will take an irmpertlil hold ui;on the nake of his nreck arnd hold his lank formn up tos our readers tlhat they may I look upon it as a true specimen of totally de- ,i praved humanity. 0 AUDYETISEN)E T. A CARD. George W. McCranie persists in forcing y upon the attention of time readers of "Theil Ouachita Telegraph," the two law suits, enti- I1 tled Ray vs. Mlc'ranie. With immeasurea- I Ile selfenrceit he imagines that the public tl are intent uIpon the eomsidtlration mof those two I suite because the editor of the Telegraphl has been stied for clamages. Those suits are in 1 ftact personal matters, no inmre entitled to pub lic m!is'ussion than other law suits-no mat- I ter if the indlividual who is sued ldoes hIappen I to be an editor. I Nevertheless. as George W. McCranie has taken occasion. in two issues of his paper, to comment upon those suits and to refect dis- I parngingly upon Morrison 4 Farmer, attor- I neys for the plaintitlm, I tike this methodl of I stating, to such of the pubm!ic as may have giv- I en those newspaper articles any attemntion, i that the connection of Morrison & Farmer I with those suits is not different from their con- i nection with lhundreds of other law suits in a which they have been engaged for plaintitls and ldefendants. Morrison & Farmer, in the regmllar conrse of their practice as nlawyers. were employed itn those cases. Their fees are fixed aRl "re not, in alny, even the imost1 remote manminer, contangent on the results. The suits are just and well foundetd. lMorri son & Farmer neither originated them, nor induced their institution nor have the slight est pecuniary interest whatever in their uce. I cess. They had a riglmt. legal and moral, cwhen duly employed, to institute them erre aqai,istl George IV. e.cCraaie It would be strange ifa man were exemipt from suits, to enf,rce reparation for wrongs done to others, merely brrause he edits a Newrspaper. In the two articles iin question, published in "The Ouachita Telegraph,' Augnust 30th and October 9th, 1673, George W. McCranie has clearly .ho,wn that lie cherishes a vindic mire hatred to Morrison & Farmer and that lie would gladly ruin them if he could, all because they have, as lawyers, instituted two libel suits against him for damages. But ihe has done more Without making at:y posi tive and unequivocal statements, ire has, in those two articles, iatimated anti insi1malrd that Morrison & Farmer are in reality the par. ties interested in those suits, though bringing them ostensibly in the names of the young Rays; that those suits are "malicious" on the part of Morrison & Farmer; that Morrison & Farmer are opposed to a "free press" and seek to crush him and to de-troy his paper; that the connection of Morrisnn & Farmer with those suits is. in somem way, dlisreputable ; that lie, George W McCranie, knows a terrible story, concerning the motives and conduct of Morrison & Farmer in those suits; that lie can and will, at some fitnre time, tell the whole story, "keeping nothing back";and that, whren told, his story will make the public open their eyes with wonder and horror. I pronounce each and every one of said itntimatios or iirieniateios to be a lie. Moreover, as I shall not again publish any thing on this subject, I take occasion now to say that George W. McCranie can not truth. fully publish anything, derogatory to Morrison a Farmer or either of tihem, antd that, if he should publish any statemer ts deregatory to them or to eithler of themn, in connection with msaid law suits, he will bIe ublishing lies, an' I pr'Jnlumne them snch in advarce. W. W. FARMED. -- me.. ---.--- THE FIULD OF THE INVEITOR. The reports of the Ptent OfBice shllow that ingenuity as a triat of the human mindl, is be ing more rapidly developedl of late years than before. The necessities whirch by their itt crease have been the means of saperindueirg this talent, have increasled with the growth of civitliation and th atlvance of socal culture. What a people could once rest with, Iras become an absoluhte article, aniey now denmand what was once beyond die reach of the most visionary. In all comestible the tastes of the masses have been educated up to a atandarfar above that of the past, and Sfollowing, tlua has been a relative improve metrt in tie meanms anl ways of production. The advance of sci.nce, theiarear e of edu cation, has had the elect ot drawing upon the ingeimity of a people for those modes of itnm ,proving whai has aow become a necessity, and the thousand and one applications for patents for new beverages ant new forms for food, show that shere must be somne demand Sfor such class if inventions. SIn Ihousehold uttesla thee is quite a aremy who seek to ameliorse domesti aaitr by Srendering rocking chairs more eary and chur. I ning hardly any labor. It is mnxt to impossi. r bie to m where these inventions will stop. SFrom mostors, whiebh will run sewing na i eal eler.et indethnit period without cost, Sto NiAleN perpetual momions, there seems ao r be ae boundaries to the human imellect and its eagaies. To the eye ofone who has some 5 appreciation of the possible, themre is Lose thing almost ludiertous in thie many attempts made to effect what is plainly beyond the mne Sehanical powers, but the visionary theorist a fails to realize that there is any emi to the scope of the mind's grasp. They have been seeking so eondense into a small powder am Striment suftlicient to last an able-bodied man t for tweonty-four hors, and toeffect by chemi cal action all of nature's opertious, without any reference to bert unalterable laws.

MALACO I 111 AND 1v CHAPTERS. : These chapters, t!. uigh written scvral t thousand years ago. apply with ('qtal for-ee to, ;i the present generatie n. In tile first ver,e. Christ's Messenger is spoken of and his uwa, glorious advent foretold. Of course we all I. have a deep and thrilling interest in thems 'i things. And then the' solenIt querti.n is et asked : "But who may a!bi,le the day of hits cotning; &c., for he is li;e a retiler', fire,. pi "ee. And he shell purity the sons of ttl Levi, * ." But why shmould the sons of' Levi be purified; or why shoul.i the so,au- awiii daulghters of men be puIrified ; tha:t they mally ollr unto the Lord an ollering in riglilteolus ecss. And again, our many-fold sins and trans gressiolns are spoken ,f. anid tile Lord saith : "'For I amn the Lord. I c'tlailr tinot; therefore ye soils of Jacob are lnot consbled." We ti should be spiritually blind indeed not to perceive and make the application, for our - lands are unseasonably irett cled with rain.I the seeds fail to splling up, the residue is burnt with drouth or eaten up by the catter. pillar; our gohl is corrupted (or rather we have noie. for our mnoney is turned into rays,) and our garmenllts are moth eaten or out of fashion. And we cry out, by reason of op pression; and why? again the Lord sith; "ye 1 have rohied me, eren this whole nation ; ye r have robbed me in tithes anld otlh-rings; nly e poor are not cared for; ISmy wiltmws anll or pl.ans are neglected miy gospel is not sulp piret-: ye have polluted miy nbhaths; ye I have not pairl yotr vows; ye have not given unto mle the fruit ofyour lips." For we are iot requtired, as were tihe jews, to bring ma tny offerings unto the Lord, bult the only oiler- A ilng that we can bring, "is that of a brokenl and contrite spirit, and to present our souals and our Iowli ea living sacrifice which is our reas ionabile se.rvice." "Let its iprove the Lord as lie required the jews to do, and see if lie will not pour uis out a blessing thlat we shall not ie able to contain, that lie may rebuke the de- . stroyer for our sakes, andi that all nations may i. call us blessed whose God is tile Lord ;"-thmit I we may say to all nations: "The Lord Gotd omnllipotent reigneth, let the earth rejoice," and prove that it is not a vain thing to serve God. The whole tenor of the teachinigs of ,c the scriptures are on this wise, that we sin not. In the 1i4 and 17 verses, we have the end and aim of class meeting and prayer meetimll. "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord Ihearkenled, and heard it, and a book of re mitnemmbirance was written before him for them tlat tFlar*.d the Lord, and that thought upon his name." If we pray unto the Lord he will surely hear ius, for lie Iath promised ; but this is not all : for a book of remembrance is written be fore the Lord for the sake of them that think on his name and serve him. And again.i "They shall be mine, saitih tile Lord of hosts, itt that clay when I make up nmy jewels; and I will spare them as a man sparetih his own son that serveth him."-What a glorious promise! And the end, how wotthy the most earnest ellbrts of an immortal mind :-if wein shall be accounted worthy to enter in, all will be Rgained ; if not, all will be lost-lost ? Church of the living God, where do you stand to day? Are you earnestly working olit your own salvation? Ifnot, we are approxi mating to a fearful state, having a name to f live while weare dead ; anti, I fear it will be saiid: --Let Ephranm i:one, lie is joined to his idols." Oh, fearfull thought! no more" messages of peace anti love; no more soft anti gentle influences of the Holy spirit; no more ingatihering of ieighbors, children and friends. Let us arouse from our lethargy andti work while it is day: for when Zion travails she will bring forth, Ye pens in the hands of ready writers, what are you doing? ye gifted ones, are ye idle, or are ye subverting your talents to un worthy emil5 I my unto youl : write, write, ,write; or else where will you stand when it Sshall be said : ye knew your duty and ye did it not. Ye ministers of the everlasting covenant, who stand on the walls of Zion, be strong in the Lord. Oh that your lips were touched with a live coal from the altar, that you might cry aloud and spare not; that you might t work, work, work; for the night cometh Swhen no man can work. CnPTERa Iv. "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven: and all the proud, yea, all that do wickedly, shall be stubble :' &c. In Sthis verse, the punishment of the wicked is most fearfully foretold -In the second verse, the blessedness of the righteous is most beau Stifully prefigured,and we can but admire this Spassage. Butl how are our hearts affected by ' it hav e we felt this healing power 'are we living with a wise refference to the day of Eternity andil tine judgment seat of Christ- We have some kind of conception here of thinga that begin asul have anl end. but of things that have no end we know but little.
