DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1874. rom the Atlanta Confutation.] 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. EDUCATIONAL. RAILROADS. Private School for Boys. Western Railroad of Alabama.

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.
