GOVERNOR JAMEft M. ft .WITH.
^HAT HE THINKS OF THE LOUISIANA MAT-
TFR—ROUND AND 8EN8111LF. VIEWS.
A reporter of the Conrtitatitm called
upon his Excellency Governor Smith yes
terday afternoon, and inquired of Imu
his views on the Loniitiana matter.
The Governor in his frank and inauly
style expressed hia views in a pungent
and forcible manner. We prefer to give
his views in the ootnpact way in which he
uttered them
I look npjn the Louisiana matter as a
vexed queation, any way, he remarked.
The first wrong step was taken by Gen.
Grunt in sustaining Durel.’s decision,
nnd in upholding Kellogg. I look upon
this act of the Government as one of the
greatest wrongs over perpetrated iu a flee
governiueut. The world kuoas that Me-
Enery is the legal Governor. The act of
the Government in settiug aside the ver
dict of the people of Louisiana at the bal
lot box is calculated to subvert free gov
ernment and produco anarchy and revo
lution, and as in France and Mexico, lead
to a resort to brute force to put and keep
men in power. The fact is there is too
great a tendency at the present time to
wards such a state of affairs. Wo are
losing all regard for tho purity of the bal
lot box aud tho sacredness of the elective
franchise.
Gen. Grant has it now in his power to
retrieve his error by holding his hands off
of Louisiana. He can more readily do so
from the fact that Congress refused to in
terfere in her affairs aud the Senate com
mittee deolared against Kel'ogg. Presi
dent Grant acted properly in the Arkansas
matter. He should remember that the
people of Louisiana have been goaded to
the present step by usurpation and been
ground to powder under the merciless
plundering of carpet-baggers. She en
deavored to shake off thisyoke by a resort
to the ballot box, but their will was de
liberately set aside by the bayonet.
Now, without a blow struck at tho
United States or the “notion’s wards,”
they are iu quiet possession of the gov
ernment. The fact is the Federal Gov-
ornmeut has no right to interfere in State
elections, and all such interference breeds
mischief.
I confess, however, that the action of
the people of Louisiana is a dangerous
precedent to follow. When men obtain
power by force they may be disposse sed
by force, nnd power then vesis in the
strongest party, and only as long as they
remain the strongest. Life, liberty and
property become insecure and of uncertain
tenure.
There is but one safe course for the
government and people to follow. L«t
them give a strict construction of the
constitution and obey it without hesita
tion or mental reservation. Then we will
have no interference with elections in the
several States and the legal Governors of
the States will have no occasion to call for
the protection of his State government.
While Georgia sympathizes with all her
sister States iu their troubles, she can on
ly «-»y to them, “stick close to the consti
tution and lot all your acts be character
ized by wisdom, justice nnd moderation.
If President Grant and the Federal Gov
ernment will pursue this course, peace and
harmony will prevail in every State of
this Union.”
—Stanley has started for Zanzibar on
his new exploring expedition into Central
Africa. Some of the apparatua ho
takes with him is of bis own contriving ;
notably a boat for lake service, weighing
400 pouuds and capable of carrying 00
men. His outfit will be a very porfoct olio,
and will include instruments siifiiciont
for scientific purposes. Ho has spent n'l
the time ho could get since the expedi
tion was resolved on, iu studies of scion-
title methods and of the use of instru
ments. This will enable him to make an
accurate record of his discoveries, to in
crease the number of them, and to bring
back testimony of a kind which the crit
ics whom ho once styled eosy-chair geog
raphers, will not be able to impeach. To
be f,ooe two years, says Stanley. To a
question whether he felt sure it might
not bo longer, be answered straighfor-
wardly : “Well, I know the risks ss well
as any man : but I understand Africau
travel bettor than when I went after Liv
ingstone, aud with fair good luck I be
lieve I shall come back all right.” If be
brings hoaie a map of the sources of tho
Nile he need not mind much whether the
Society likes it or not. The world will
recognize his merits.—London Letter.

was arrested on the charge of rapiog his
step-daughter. He whs carried before a
justice and committed for taial.
It was known that he had two or throe
times escaped from the officers, nnd tho
Justice on this occasion detailed four
men to accompany the Bailiff, an guards,
to Leesburg. The negro wan notified
that he would be shot if be attempted to
e*o>*pe, and the Bailiff begged him not to
mike the attempt. Notwithstanding,
when they were approaching Charles
Irwin’s place, uear a thicket, the prisoner
made a dn-h and instantly several shots
were sent through the bushes with deadly
precision. He carried the lead for some
distance, eluding the guard, but was
found in on hour or two afterwards in n
dying condition. The coroner found him
dead.—Albany New*.
