What excuse or reason can the Parish cenommittee give not to make a public the of their meeting of the 11th that the people, whom they claim to represent, know something of their dorags. Are these people ashamed of their action, and fear public criticisms? Think, Democrats of St. Martin, your representatives hold- a iig meetings and not informing yen of their tricky doings. Can they give any reason not to publish the minutes of their deliber- ahions unless they be unjust, undemocratic and tricky? Gentlemen, if your organ is unwilling to eeke lpublic your work, the will, send your proceedipgs and they will be published of charge. the committee explain to tQe public why they do not make the deliberations of their deeetings? MURDER.

Last Saturday evening, at about five o'clock, a cold blooded, unprovohd murder took place at Cade, in'which Charles Mathien, a ne- gro, was killed by another negro nanged Maime or Joseph Redom. I 'hbe evidence given at the Coro- ner's inquest, which was held Sunday evening is about this; Redom was on horse back and Mathien was on foot, andi were engaged in wlilt seemed to all witnesses a friendly conversation when Redow raised his voice and told to Mathieu 'you are a damned to which the murdered man replied 'no, I am not a to this Redom repeated 'you are a I damned liar, you are a rogue and I dare you to deny it' anti at this moment pulled his revolver, turned his head and fired the fatal hSa.h Mathieu at this time had ione hand in his pocket and held ja whip in the other, but never tried to use his whip, or made any to his murderer. Mathieu after being shot walked a short distance to the cabin of his mother, fell on the floor and lied about half an hour later. The Coroner's inquest showed 'that Mathieu was shot under the left eye, the bullet taking a downjward course, coming out in the neck, severing tile jugular vein. Redomn.

Edw. Robert, Justin Fungy. No petit jury has been drawn the first week. Juries will he called the second and third week, and the fourth week will be devoted to the trial of civil cases. The dockets of the criminal and civil cases are both light.

We are wondering whether the th Is editor of the Messenger will ever Pl 1, learn to respect the will of the De- 'e mocrats of this parish, most posi- bt tively spoken out on the first of ti -December last; whether he ima- gines that by his insinuating re- a marks he can influence or affect any body; whether he is favorable ir to and will support the State De- mocratic Ticket? whether he will a support Wm. B. Eastin for Clerk ci of Court, and David Rees for 0Sheriff, at the next election? whe- ther more faithful, efficient and it honest men can be founid in any section of the State, than the a c- above named geline. The ME88ENGER has respected the will of the Democrats expres- lused on December 1st, but the very parish committee elected on that day has violated the trust confided leto them, and trampled upon the will of the Democrats regarding d- the judiciary. Brother Greig, we seriously doubt the fealty to Democratic principles of your candidates.

This was a tera leaving New Orleans each Thursday-a tranla sumptuously equipped that it marked an epeak in the construction of railway rolling stock. To meet the popular demand the Southern Psaol will, this season, double the service-and a lea. set Limited will leave the trescent City esas Monday and Thursday. being wholly distilae from the regular daily leasw'nger service of the road. This year's trains as far as surpass the equipment of last year as did those excel all predecessrs.

The great feature of the Limited trains of IM lWtSl. will be the ladies' parlor and drawing car, a wholly new departure in its way, and one sa, distinctive that It at once gives the Southern Pacific mangeamema a unique position for originality. It is nee which will forcibly appeal to every lady traveler. The train will be drawn by a locomotive patterned after the famous tColumbian Expoeltion flyer, and guaranteed to maintain a speed of 100 miles an hour if required. The first ar is ealled a composite car.

with baggage aotpartment, in the front end, harber shop, bath room, buffet and toilet room in the centre. sad extensive smoking room with library and acretaries in the rear. Adjoining thi. is the la dies' drawing roost. car.

with the daintiest lounging rooms for the ladies in the frut. where a well selected library and charming desks supplied with elegant stationary invite Si the dual pursuits of literature and eorresposdenuce. Back of this are seven drawing room compartments. each equipped with lavatory sal tillet aceeseories, and each capable of cy singly or en suite. An aside down the side of the car permits access to any one, while coamunicating doors which may be locked it thrown open at will, will enable the purehar to use one or more staterooms as his needse quire.

At the end of the car are commodleis toilet rooms. Back of this car are two standard, double drawing room. seven section sleeping ears with every accessory needful to the traveler, and is the rear of the train the exquisitely appointed dinning car where meals are served a Ia carts. a The luxury of the whole train is indeecrihable. The woodwork throughout is in the rarest tlhe tropical woods finished to perfection; the -Pholstery is in soft plashes of subdued tone; the wilton carpet and silk hangings harmonles with their snrroundings.

In fact, the train and all its service is the perfection of that luxury sad lavish expenditure which has made travel othe Sunset Limited the synonym of all that Is ideal in trains-contilental travel. STORE TO RENT. The brick store. next to the Bank. on SMai sttreet, lately ocecdied by J.
