Moxaoe, La., Oct. 12, 187G. J
Assistant Adjutant General, Headquarters, Depart
ment of tho Gulf:
. I have the honor to report that at or
about seven o'clock yesterday morn
ing, tho 11th Inst., at their residence
on the Island eight miles above Mon
roe Primus Johnson, a colored preach
er, was shot and instantly killed, and
Eaton Logwood, also wounded, by
two djsguised white men. At the
time of the shooting Johnson was
standing on the gallery of his bouse,
holding bis infant girl in his arms.
Eaton Logwood was employed in
front of the house (the two men, John
son and Logwood, being joint oocu
pants of tho bouse) in loadiug seed
cotton on his wagon for the pur
pose of hauling it to a neighbor's gin.
The
TWO DISGUISED AND ARMED WHITE
MEN.
appeared from behind the bank of a
bayou near the road, advanced to a
picket-place in front of and about fif
teen yards distant from, the house.
Besting their guns across the fence,
one of them addresed Logwood, say
ing : "Eaton, old fellow is that you ?
God damn you I've got you now!"
aiming his gun at Logwood while say
ing so. Logwood attempted to escape
by running, but was shot by the dis
guised man referred to as he (Log
wood) was about to run around tho cor
ner of the house a full load of buck
shot entered his back, neck, and
shoulders Inflicting very dangerous
wounds. At about the same time, or
an instant later, Primus Johnson, yet
standing on his gallery and still
HOLDING HIS CHILD IN HIS ARMS,
WAS SHOT
by the other disguised white man,
and died in a few moments. The two
disguised whites, after saying that if
they bad not fixed it all right they
would return and finish it, walked
slowly along the road, crossed into a
field, went down to, the bayou, and
crossed on a log, after which all traoe
of them was lost. A number of wag
ons loaded with cotton, passed the
house a short time before, and just af
ter the shooting. Those passing just
before the murder was committed
were stopped by three armed and
mounted white men atShoran bridge
which is some distance beyond Log
wood's houBe, toward Monroe. The
armed men thus picketing the road
interrogated the driver of the wagons,
asking whose were the teams, and on
being informed that they belonged to
Mr. Tiswell and Mr. Swan (two white
planters on the island) permitted them
to pass. Two physicians living on the
island when sent for refused to visit
Logwood. The brother of Logwood
then started to Monroe for one, and
while on the way
WAS STOPPRD BY TWO MOUNTED
WHITE MEN
and questioned as to his business and
his person searched for arms and pa
pers and when he told them he was
going for a doctor they asked him
whether it was for Eaton Logwood,
and told him if it was he could not
go. lie succeeded in getting away
from them and reached town, but
' none of the physicians there could be
induced to go out. Logwood has also
sent a message to Mr. John H. Dink
grade, Deputy United States Marshal
and attorney at law, that be wished
to see him about matters pertaining to
his property, but Dinkgrade, consid
ering the mission too dangerous, de
clined going. These fact were com
xnunloated to me at about two o'clock
In the afternoon. After consulta
tion with Mr. Hardy, the District At
torney, who consdered it important to
obtain Logwood's dying declaration
(he was then thought to be mortally
wounded,) X deemed it necessary to
take auoh steps as would enable him
to do so in safety, and at eight o'clock
p. m. sent a detaohment of eight
men under men under command of
Lieutenant McCawley, Thirteenth
Infantry, accompanied by the District
Attorney, to Logwood's house, trans
porting them in government wagon
belonging to the post They reached
Xogwood'a about ten p. m., and
found a large crowd of colored people
there,
ALL OF THEM COMPLETELY COWED
AND SUBJUGATED,
and in constant apprehension of the
return of the murderers to carry out
the threats they had mado in the
morning. Logwood Informed the
District Attorney that he had no hope
of living, and had no other expecta
tion than of dying, and mado what he
pronounced to be his dying declara
tion, was duly subscribed by him,
sworn to, and witnessed. Tho facts as
herein given are taken from that de
claration and from the testimony of
the two women-the wives of Logwood
and Johnson, both of whom were
present and witnessed tho shooting.
Lieutenant McCawley returned to
this place with his detaohment
about three o'clock thia morning.
Believing there was danger of a
renewal of the attack upon Log-
aotlng under instruo-
rae, Lieutenant Mc-
a guard at Logwood's
a corporal
men from
wood, and
tlons from
Cawley left
house consisting of
and three selected
one of his neighbors. He also BtateB
that William F. Kohalds, a white
planter, aud this neighbor, and who
is also
CAPTAIN OP ONE OF TnE DEMOCRAT
IC RIFLE COMPANIES
on the island, has repeatedly threat
ened his (Logwood's) life, and it is de
clared by the witness that two
or three weeks ago Kohalds, and
Geo. Phillips, son of Captain Phillips,
who is commander of another island
rifle company, searched through Log
wood's bouee and announced their in
tention kill him. Neither Logwood
nor the two women present was able
to express an opinion as to the identi
ty of the man who killed Primus
Johnson. Logwood and Johnson
were both of them resolute and intel
ligent men. Both owned small farms,
and were making good crops. By
their joint effort they bad erected a
building near their house whioh was
used as a school for colored children
and as a church. A short time ago
this building was set on fire in the
night time, aud tho roof and Inside
finishing burned. The walls being
of green logs did not burn. Logwood
says it was set on fire In the expecta
tion that he would rush out and ex
tinguish li, and that he would then
have been shot had he done so, but he
did not go out. He was a strong in
fluential, and tolerant partisan of the
Republican party, and was especially
obnoxious to the Democrats on the is
land. Logwood is the same man on
whose account Lieutenant Jacob A.
Huger and Captain McGintfis visited
the island in the early pari of last
September. In my opinion
NO EARNEST EFFORT WILL BE MADE
BY THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES
to investigate the matter and appre
hend the murderers. The judge of
the State District Court (Ray) is a
time-serving man, desirous of adapt
ing bis course to tho changing politi
cal oondition of the State and of his
judicial district. The Sheriff, a white
negro, is a fugitive, and his deputies
are wholly inefficient. The United
Stales Commissioner, Judge Baker
(also a parish judge,) is indifferent,
inslnoere, and negligent. The Uni
ted States Deputy Marshal, John H.
Dinkgrave, is a coward and utterly
worthless for the performance of any
duties pertainingjto his position . The
District Attorney, Mr. Hardy, is the
only one that is working to vindicate
the laws aud trying to bring the mur
derers to justice. I am, very respeot
fully, your obedient servant.

STILL ANOTHER MURDER.
To the Western Associated Press.
New Orleans, La., Oot. 23. A
special to the Bulletin states that N.
J.Law was murdered near Bastrop, Ls.
on Saturday night. Law was riding
ing out of town, when he was fired
upon and mortally wounded and his
horse killed.
SOUTH CAROLINA THE SITUATION IN
THE STATE.
Washington, Oct. 23 Senator Pat
terson to-day received a letter from
Gov. Chamberlain saying that since
the arrival of United States Troops
the white Liners are completely cow
ed down, and now profess to be afraid
that the negroes will visit vengeance
upon them for their murderous war
fare in the past, and are-appealing to
the military to potect their houses.
On Saturday last the Republicans held
a meeting at Edgefield, when 2,000
mounted White Liners rode up and
demanded half of the time. This was
peremptorily refused, aud owing to
the near presence of a company of
Federal troops the Hampton Legion
did not attempt to enforce their de
mand. Before leaving, however, they
rode around the outskirts of the Re
publican meeting, and cheered for
for Tilden and Hampton and n united
South. The Republicans, about 5,000
In number, responded with cheers for
Hayes and Wheeler, when the rebele
left. Gov. Chamberlain says Gen.
Buger, in command of the military,
appreciates fully the "situation, and
will act with promptness if any out
break occurs. The negroes are now
satisfied they will be protected, and
are turning out to the meetings, as
they will to the polls on election day.
Gov. Cbamberlin believes the Repub
licans will carry ail the Congressional I
dlstriots, and elect the etate ticket by
a very decided majority.

"There was un
doubted evidence of well digested
plans which if carried out would have
resulted in the slaughter of nearly all
the negroes in the place. The pres
ence of the troops brought about an
agreement by which both armed
whites and negroes disbanded. On
the march from Roubo'b Bridge to El
lenton the bodies of three negroes who
had been killed were found, aud in
formation was received that five oth
ers had also been murdered. One
white man was killed. The negroes
were completely cowed and afraid to
leave their hiding-places in the woods
and return to work, from fear of be
ing shot down in the cotton-field. A
detachment sent down Barwell road
met a body of twenty or thirty whites
who stated that thy were a detach

FOWLER FLY PAN?
TO THE PUBLIC.
HAVING purchased the solo right to the
"Fowler Patent Fly Fan," we oflor the
Machines for sale through Agents and Mer
chants, with full knowledge and confidence
that they will do what we claim for them.
The machine ls self-acting, keeps flies ofT
the table, winds up like a clock, and runs
aoout one nour and a naif at each winding.
For convenience, a key Is attached to the
case, so that It can be re-wound nt any time,
and run as ions as desired. It is light and
portable, a perfect substitute for the old fly
brush in the hands of a servant. It ls orna
mental, and occupies less space on the table
than a castor. It has a beautiful bronze base,
with the stein and projections nickel plated,
to which fans are attached, which revolve
noiselessly, above the head, with no incon
venience to persons seated at the table. It
fills a long endured want In the hoosehohl,
and ls so simnle that a child can operate it.
The first cost lsa permanent Investment, as
it will last mnny years. It has been adopted
In some of the first hotels and private fami
lies of the country, and wherever introduced
has given entire satisfaction. It ls easily set
on a bed or chair, to keep flies off children
or th slcic; aud is far preferable to net
work, being much cooler. To the Invalid in
summer it will be a most welcome compan
ion and AiWhrnl sentinel, never weary. Flies
frequent most where there is most to feed
on. Use Fowler's Patent Fly Fan to keep
them from the table, and they will leave the
house; this Is the best reeelpt yet given, bet
ter than all tho baited traps that draw more
than Uiey catch. In corroboration: of the
value and usefulness of this muchlne. wo
annex eopfes of letters cheerfully given us
by some of our most prominent citizens, who
have had them in aclnal -ase.nnd who desire
others to derive the same eomfortfrom them
they have enjoyed. To merchants and agent
a liberal discount will be made on retail
price, bv applying to the office of the FOW
LER FLY FAN CO.. 42 South 3d St.. second

The National Republican party has placed
Its ticket and platform before the American
people. The Presidential Campaign win bs
one of ibe moat ezeltingnnd Important that
has ever occurred In the United States. The
result of the contest will determine the fu

same in chsracter and spirit ns when one
wing resolved that the war for the Union
nas a "failure," and the other wing tried
desperately to make ii a fttllsre. They are
now a harbor of refuge for aeetionnl animos
ities and pro-slavery sentiments. Since
coming Into control of the popular branch
of Congress they have exhibited no states-
mansntp.no wisdom nor patriotism noth
ing but obstraetive policies and aestructlTe
purposes, showing themselves incapable of
;7ogress or even of comprehending the
wnnrs of the country. They only "meddle
and muddle." "With all their promises and
pretensions they have proven utter failures
In dealing with questions or Taxation,

hands of the T)PTnrrrnrlp-fYinrflprntr n
j they secure possession of the parse and the
Bword, the army and tao navy, theexecutivo

ing and corruption In thecities of the rfforth
Prudence admonishes that "the destinies of
the country In pence should be confided to
those tvho saved it la ;car."
If the ascendency of tho Republican party

could be so effective. We were
