The town of Houma, La., was a

week. r
The TistE does not desire to

An collision occurred on the t4

SBetlurday, by which four persons fl

of Claire's revolver having

FOLLY.
The Item of last week claims
that the time to object to the cast
ing of fraudulent votes was at the
mass meeting, and not afterwards. I
rep. This sounds very pretty at the first
blush, but a sober second thought
her. recognizes it as absolute fully. It
is never to.) late to correct frauds,
such a doctrine would never permit
the punishment of criminals. It
r. takes time to obtain evidence in
2 01) all cases, and especially such cases
t5 as the kind at issue. There were
75 men at that meeting and quite a
nuumberofth.em who were unknown
to mie(. of large acquaintance in
the parish, but there was no proof
cc. at hand that thcy were not voters.
Their niam,.s wtere s:ceu:red however
and their n:tecec dt;ts inquired
all. into. Then the liberal and whole
sale character of the frauds began
1i to show up. It was found that
some of the voters had been in the
ra- parish but a few weeks, some only
ip- a few days, and sonime only a few
hours. All these men are now
ra, known, but at the time they could
me not be known. Is it too late to
eae show this ? The Mass Meeting
be. was for the purpose of deciding
who was the choice of the peolle
o of Madison paribha for its officers,
ras and their voice is entitled to rec
ast ognition, but the voice of the peo
ple of Madison was drowned in
the hoarse accents of unknown t
voices, that were never heard be
at fore in public atlaire, and that will i
ey not be again. The owners of these l
strange voices have "folded their f
he tents like Arabs and as silently 1
ist stolen away," but they have left "
ns their record behind them and that
of cannot be stolen away. It is not f
too late to show this and it will be b
shown.
ad _ _
ad LET THEN GO.
aIt appears, that in the parish of
Rapides, the Parish Executive
Committee passed a resalution,
as that only white democrats who did
il. not vote for Blaine or Stevenson,
he should participate in the primaries.
of The Alexandria Town Talk laments
)r-. this resolution, and says many
white men in that parish "would
not support Sam McEnery four
years ago, and voted for Stevenson
instead." It further claims that
. thisresolution willtakeagreatmany
votes from the party, and that
many of these men will on account
of being excluded from the primar
er ies perhaps be lost to the democrat
1,. ic party forever.
is Now instead of this being a case
at of lamentation, it should be the
subject of loud rejoicing. It is far
better to have such men to fight
openly, that to have them disturb
ing the party councils, and head
e ing bolts. You know where to
d find an open enemy, and how to
treat him but a man who defies the m
Sparty when it suits his convenience,
and votes for a" republican, has no
of business in the meetings of demo
ig crats. lHis place is on the outside
it and he can do far less damage there
as than lhe can within tile ranks.
s Of course a man has a perfect right
d to vote for whom he pleases, but
id to have any party rights hlie must
t subscribe to party rules and regu
lations. The loss of such men is
party gain. If you are going to
e have a party at all have it right,
and draw the lines, but if a man
can break loose at will, and vote St
the opposition ticket, and still be
given full fellowship, why the N
d TIM*nS is in favor of throwing party
to the dogs and having a free rough
and tumble race, right along. A
party that will tolerate such men
Sin it, and then pretend to demand
I party allegiance, has more free
and easy impudence than the law
r allows. By all means let such
men go, or shut uip your old party
shop, and "bay the moon."
PAT EALY KILL.ED
Pat Mealy, one of the celebrated
"Big Four" of New Orleans, was
killed inn bar room in New Orleans,
about one o'clock New Years
morning. He, with a party of
Sfriends were in the saloon, when
e Louis Claire and some friends
camne in. There were cheers for
SNicholls from Mealy's party, and
Icheers for McEnrey from Claires I
- party. There appears to have g
been some words between Mealy *
%and Claire and then the shooting k
began. Mealy was shot in the
stomach just above the navel, one
Sof his party, by the name of Walsh '
I was shot in two places, the wounds m
being considered fatal and Markey M
mother Mo of Mealy's lrty was
shot in the month, (not dangerous). M
Mileey died attwo o'clock of the 2
sme day. The New Orleas p.

ed in a speech at the Washington Ar
le- tillery Hall in New Orle:ns Tues
n day night s'caking of Pat Mealy
hat Ihe said;
ie Ile fills a bloody grave solely by
ly reasons of his political opinions.
I say if Pat Mealy had not been a
" supporter of Gen. Nicholls, to-day
)w he would be alive. While you
Id hear talk throughout the city
to wreaking physical vengeance to
wreak a political vengeance upon
the instigators.
"g There was no man who was
Ic greater or nobler in every degree
.v, than Patrick Mealev. If he could
e- afford to lay down his life on ac
count of his political opinions, I
°- say let there be no recreant coward
in who refrain on the 5th of January
rn from taking part in the election.
c- Why not take your ballot in one
II hand on the 5th of January, if you
have to take your fife in the other I
se hand, and put it in the box. A !
ir free man dead is better than a
y living coward. On the 5th of Jan
ft uary go to the poles. no matter
what may be this risk, and even
at peril of your life present a solid
)t front and dropl your ballot in the
Pe box, and let the answer of the as
sassin's bullet be the ballot of a
free man.
Ihe calls this moderation.
