Blakeley (Early county) Hews: The
conclusion is being irresistibly forced on
tbe people that the bogus bond ring are
using their money very freely in Georgin,
and especially in Southwestern Georgia.
On no other hypothesis can the host of
“independents,” “ bolters,” <tc., be ac
counted for. The honor of the position
sought has not heretofore operated to
bring out so large a swarm of seekers
after the office of legislator; the legiti
mate pay of the position is certainly not
sufficient to induce sensible men to act as
many are doing now in nearly every
county in Southwestern Georgia. What,
then, is the motive ? is the question being
asked by tbe people, and they are very
generally settling down in the conviction
that the million of dollars which the
bond ring proposes to use is at the bot
tom of it Tax-pavers, this is a matter
for serious consideration. Don’t permit
yourselves to make a mistake in chosing
legislators.
The Freedman’s Bank.
Although the three Commissioners ap
pointed to examine into the affairs of the
Preedman’s Bank have been for three
months past seeking to bring order out of
chaos, they do not appear to have made
much progress beyond the statement of
liabilities and assets compiled from the
books of its former officers and published
on July J, which only revealed the rotten
ness of that institution and the roguery of
those who had managed it.
The idea was first held out on the
strength of this exhibit, that the poor
creditors would be paid dollar for dollar,
and even recently the victims have been
duped by those who know better, with
the expectation that eighty-five, ninety,
and even ninety-six per cent, might be
realized. All these calculations rest upon
the basis of a false valuation of the assets,
and are therefore worthless except as a
means of deception.
At last the Commissioners have been
forced to announce that “however much
it may be regretted, it is nevertheless
true that this company is insolvent and
unable to pay its depositors and other
creditors.”
Only three days before that publication
one of these very Commissioners who
signed this announcement, Robert Pur
vis, a colored man, stated at a meeting of
the Philadelphia creditors that “the bank
hud not failed in the general acceptation
of the term. Its funds were only locked
up so that they could not be obtained
immediately.”
At that time he could hardly have been
ignorant of the real situation, or of the
fact which is now confessed, that the
worst is not known, for his name attests
that “they (the Commissioners) are not
without fear that upon setttement of the
pass books of depositors a greater sum
will appear to bo due them.”
That the charter was flagrantly violated,
all protection for depositors disregarded,
and tlie money of tbe poor colored peo
ple stolen by the Washington Ring and
their confederates, is no longer doubtful.
General Howard, Alvord, and other phi
lanthropists were trustees and officers
while this robbery was going on with
their privity and participation. Henry
D. Cooke, bis cashier Huntington, and
Clephanc the contractor, all members of
tbe Ring, composed a majority of the Fi-
nanco Committee chosen by Howard and
his friends, who loaned out the savings
of these poor people to themselves and
others upon Seneca Sandstone scrip and
stocks of fictitious companies even to
this day unorganized.
Purvis told the swindled Philadelphia
people that the whole fault lay in “a vile
ring,” but ho did not tell them who com-
-josed that ring, or that he and his fellow
Commissioners intended to prosecute
them for fraud. So far from manifest
ing any desire to bring these robbers t Q
justice, the effort is to screen them au( j
tbe scoundrels who used this bank for
their own enrichment. While professing
peculiar zeal for the black man, praying
loudly in the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation, and preaching equality of the
races, they- were picking the pockets of
their victims and stealing the hard sav
ings of women and children recently
rescued from slavery.
The thieves are flourishing at Washing
ton in palatial mansions, driving showy
equipages, and living in luxury upon this
money, without an attempt being made
to force restitution or to expose the kna
vish hypocrites who colluded with them
in the spoliation, and without whose com
plicity it could not have succeeded. The
trustees and officers who perverted the
charter, who corruptly broke down all its
safe’guards, and who connived at this
bankruptcy, could easily be made to an
swer, both criminally and civilly, if there
was any disposition to pursue them.—N.

Condition ok the Cbops.—The Sep
tember returns of the Department of
Agriculture indicate an average condition
of the wheat crop of ninety-three against
ninety-five in September, 1873. The
acreage of the crop is seven per cent,
greater than last year, which would bring
the aggregate yield to nearly an average
on last year’s acreage. All the New Eng
land and Middle States are aboTe the
average, except Delaware, which -is full
the average. All the Atlantic and Golf
States are below the average, except Ala
bama, which is 101. The inland South
ern States are all below the aTe “8 e >
Arkansas presenting the maximum of the
whole country, which is 120. North of
the Ohio river most of the counties were
not visited by chinch bugs. Of the P res *r
ent superior crops, Ohio, Michigan and
Indiana are above the average, and Hh-
nois two per cent, below. Wisconsin is
reduced twenty-three per cent, below by
the drought and chinches. West_of the
Mississippi the drought, intense heat,
hot winds, chinches and grasshoppers
have reduced all of the States below the
average, except Missouri. The Pacific
Sta* es are above the average.
Pabdon ns the Pbesident.—The Uni

ceived, on Wednesday, a pardon from the
President for George Ellis, ex-President
of the late Bank of the Commonwealth of
New York, indicted by the grand joiy of
the United States District Court, for mis-
applying the funds of that institution,
by means of false entries on' its books.

OBANT SENDS A TELEGBAM.
Washington, September 10. — The
President this afternoon sent the follow
ing telegram to Governor Brown, of Ten
nessee :
Executive Mansion, Sept. 10,1871. -
To Hon. John G. Brown, Governor, Nash
ville, Tennessee:
Sib—Your dispatch of yesterday has
been received and referred to the United
States District Attorney for the Western
District of Tennessee for a report, as
there is no official information of his pro
ceedings here. When his report is re
ceived I will give you a more definite an
swer, or have the Attorney General do
so. I will state, however, that it is very
gratifying to know that the State authori
ties of Tennessee are disposed to suppress
and punish a class of lawless acts so dan-
gerous'to life and so opposed to every
political, financial and moral interest of
the State. But the Constitution makes
it my duty to enforce the acts of
Congress, and Congress has passed laws
giving the United States jurisdiction in
such cases as are referred to in your dis
patch. No special order has been given
to the Federal officials in Tennessee,
further than the circular of September
third, of the Attorney General, which is
general in its nature, and constitutes in
structions to all Marshals and District
Attorneys wherever violations of said
acts may occur. I will add that the State
and General Governments, as you are
well aware, may have concurrent jurisdic
tion over same offense, as for example in
coses of counterfeiting, and the action of
the State authorities in such cases does
not prevent the General Government
from proceeding against offenders.

Gen. W. II. Emery, Commanding Depart

Yon will follow out the instructions as
in a former dispatch. All turbulent per
sons must be put under arrest. The
order must be implicitly complied with.
E. D. Townsend, Adj't Gen’l.
The author of alleged forgery declares
he saw Gen. Townsend write it. It was,
however, not promulgated.
The order copied from the Republican.
eaptioued “The Satrapy of Louisiana,” is
pronounced at the Department a forgery.
The War Department has messengers
out to see how the alleged forgery regard
ing the Satrapy of Louisiana was achieved.
The best opinion is that it is genuino,
but has been withdrawn and the Depart

MILITARY DESPOTISM 15 LOUIS
IANA.
Opinions of the Press.
[From the New York Tribune.)
The President long ago decided which
of the two parties he should recognize as
legitimate, and he has made it plain that
he shrinks from none of the consequences
of his unfortunate and unjust decision.
The new administration established by
Lieutenant Governor Penn will almost
certainly be overthrown before the end of
a week by President Grant and Major
General Emery, and what will the honest
people of Louisiana have gained by their
brief and bloody revolution ?
No reasonable man doubts that at the
i last election McEnery and Penn were
' fairly chosen Governor and Lieutenant
Governor of the State, but that Kellogg
seized the reins of power by fraud and
force, and installed a pretended Legislar
ture of his own by the use of the Federal
bayonets. Against this capital outrage
what remedy had the citizens of Louisi
ana? Should they go to the courts? The
judges were partners inthecrime. Should
they appeal to the Legislature ? It was
dispersed, aud the conspirators made laws
in its place. They complained to the
President, and he denied them even a
hearing.
They went before Congress, and Con
gress ordered an investigation, ascer
tained that the charges of usurpation
were all true, listened to a terrible de
nunciation of the usurpers and an elo
quent plea for justice from the lips of
Senator Carpenter, and then—did noth
ing. Nor was this all. During these two
years, while tho citizens had bonne every
imaginable wrong, and watched the State
sinking day by day into lower depths of
disorganization and bankruptcy, they had
1 still the hope that the next election, in
" due course of law, might enable them to
overturn this iniquitous administration.
But of late Kellogg has destroyed even
this last hope. His rascally Legislature
passed a registration law so monstrous in
its provisions that he was afraid to ap
prove it while Congress was in session.
But when there was nothing more to fear
from the indignation of Congress he drew
the half-forgotten bill from his desk aud
signed it. The new law empowers him
to appoint supervisors and assistant
supervisors of election in all tha parishes
of the State, with full authority to add
names to the registry or erase names from
it. Their action on both these points is
final. They have only to draw a pen
through a voter's same and he is dis
franchised beyond the power of any au
thority in the State to help him. The
courts are expressly lorbidden to inter
fere, by injunction, mandamus, or any
other process; and to make the cose com -
jfiete, the registrars are authorized to ap
point an indefinite multitude of “suita
ble persons” to attend at the polling
places, as their janizaries, “to keep
order.” Is there the faintest shadow* of a
chance that an honest election con take
place under such circumstauces ? Is
there any remedy whatever left for the
citizens of Louisiana except the lost re
sort of all, the appeal to arms?
That there has never been a day for
two years, when the Kellogg administra
tion could sustain itself without the help
of the Federal army we have all known;
but none of us at the North were aware
how empty and unsubstantial this fabric
of usurped power really was until Tues
day. One faint demonstration against
tho barricades exhausted it. The revolt
lifted its head at sunset, and in the morn
ing the government of William Pitt Kel
logg had utterly vanished.
[From tbe New York World, Conservative.]
What sort of a person Gov. Kellogg, of
Louisiana, is, and by what means he
came to be recognized in defiance of the
will of the people of Louisiana as the
Executive of that SNtte, we need not at
this late day recapitulate. Lifted into
power by the act of a drunken Federal
judge, whose escape from impeachment
at tbe last session of Congrcs is felt by
all honest Republicans to be a brand
of infamy ineffably set upon tbeir ma
jority in the National Legislature, this
man Kellogg has signalized his rule in
Louisiana not only by the persistent
plunder of the unfortunate residents of
that State, without distinction of color,
hut by the most shameless and open rob
bery of its non-resident creditors. Even
a Republican majority in Congress shrank
from indorsing this scoundrelly usurper.
It contented itself with refraining from
bringing him to justice, and left him to
fight out his battle with the plundered
people of Louisiana at the polls, well
knowing that when it did so that he
would not hesitate to go into the conflict
with the loaded dice of special enact
ments given him by a spurious Legisla
ture for the express purpose of defeating
anything like an honest expression of the
popular will.
Encouraged by the tacit, aud, ns we
cannot choose hut call it, most base and
cowardly connivance of the representa
tives of the people at Washington, this
man Kellogg, relying upon the support of
President Grant, long since pledged to
him through the family connections of
the President, aDd believing that he pos
sessed in the Confederate General Long-
street, who has steadily co-operated with
him, a military ally able to secure his
domination, has undertaken not only to
abrogate that amendment of the Consti
tution of the United States which secures
to all American citizens the right to
“keep and bear arms,” but also that other
amendment of the Constitution of the
United States which secures to all Ameri
can citizens tho right “peacjjably to as
semble and to petition the government
for a redress of grievances.” -
[From the New York Snn.J
Crime begets crime. The man who is
led to violate the law in one particular is
thereby exposed to the necessity of vio
lating it in others. A burglar who breaks
into a house *may very likelyliave to com
mit murder before he comes out of it;
and the usurper, who violently or fraudu
lently seizes upon power enters upon a
course in which civil war and bloodshed
are but the natural incidents.
In 1.872 the people of Louisiana elected
a State government by a large majority
of their votes. The rightfulness of the
election was beyond dispute; bnt it car
ried with it the letum of Presidential
electors who would have voted for Hor
ace Greeley, and It involved also the dis
missal from power and public employ
ment in the State <5f a crew of blood-suck
ers, some of whom were connected with
President Grant by marriage and others
by more subtle relationships. According
ly, they conspired to keep out the men
chosen by the people and to ins tall those
whom the people had repudiated. In this
conspiracy they had the support of Pres
ident Grant, and the military force of
tho United States was employed to carry
it out. Of course it was successful, and
the conspirators have ever since held that
State, and have ruled and robbed its peo
ple without mercy.
A new c'ection being now at hand, and
it being certain that a'fair vote of the
people would turn the conspirators all out
of offioe, they plotted to prevent this by
means of election laws and officers,
and by a system of registration depriving
a large proportion of the citizensjof the
right of voting, and securing for their
own agents the uncontrolled power of
counting the votes to suit themselves.
All chance of relief by peaceful means
being thus cut off, the people of Louisi
ana determined to try the effect of
force. They rose against their oppres
sors, and on Tuesday the insurrection
was apparently successful, and the fraud
ulent, intruding government which Presi
dent Grant had forced upon them was
put down, and the Lieutenent Governor
who had been really elected in 1872 was
exercising the functions of Governor,
while in the different parts of the State
the officers of the illegal executive were
tu*ied out, and others variously appoint
ed were peacefully discharging their du
ties. - r .
Against this state of things and tir
triumph of popular justice, Prcsiden
Grant is to intervene with the strong j
hand. The people of Louisiana are anew j
to be put down-by .n force. Ik ay j
have not rebelled against the United j
Rates: they have resisted no law of Con
gress; they have simply expelled State
officers whom they hnd not elected, hut
wKo had been foisted upon them with
out moral or legal right. For this they
are to be punished, and the usurpers ere
to he forced upon them again, no matter
with what destruction of public order,
life, or property.
Such .are the consequences of the first
step in the way of lawless violence and
usurpation. When President Grant, by
his own will, and by bayonets, made
William P. Kellogg Governor of Louis
iana instead of John B. McEnery, he
committed a crime for which he lias ever
since deserved to be impeached and
brought to trial. This crime was liis
voluntary act. There was no constraint
upon him; there was no reason, except
the base reason we have mentioned, re
quiring him to commit it. Had he
chosen to recognize McEnery as Gov-
irnor instead of Kellogg the rights of the
people wonld have been preserved, and
the country would have acquiesced in
the act. And now, after the people of
Louisiana have been plundered and
ground to the earth for two years longer,
and have freed themselves and restored
something like a legal government, if he
should choose to repent his error, to ac
knowledge that he had done wrong, and
to recognize the McEnery government as
the true one the whole country would
applaud it. . But this he does not and
will not do. The wrong committed then
requires the.eommission of a new wrong
now. The citizens of Louisiana are
about to witness the restoration of the
Kellogg government, with accessories of
conflict and bloodshed; but to this new
outrage the approbation of the people
will certainly not be given.
[Fromj the New York Express, Conservative.]
The President’s proclamation is a mat
ter of course, and as one bad act leads to
another, nothing else was to be expected.
President Grant having sustained the
Kellogg government once and again, feels
bound to keep it in countenance to tbe
end. But there ought to be an end of
villainy as well as tbe suppression of tur
bulence. But for Federal action the State
officers elected by the people of Louisiana
would be in power, and Kellogg and his
government in exile or retirement. The
laws were first obstructed by those who
trampled the election laws under their
feet, and then applied to the President
for Federal aid—first to - et power which
did not belong to them and now to rcuun
it For years the people of Louisiana have
appealed and protested. Hopeless of re ■
lief they took up arms, aud, as stated in
the letter of the President, and as the
facts show, just when they were able to
maintain peace, the President's proclama
tion orders tbe dispersion of ten thou
sand citizens assembled to pnt down a
terrible usurpation. As tbe whole govern
ment is stronger than the new State gov
ernment, nnd ns the President has taken
sides with the oppressors, nothing bnt
submission to power would seem to be
left. *
[From tlie N. Y, Journal of Commerce, lud.]
Who is most responsible for the present
outbreak cannot be told with certainty,
but, ns far as we can see, both parties
have been much to blame. Tho White
League had begun to gather arms. Tho
Kellogg faction charged that the ob
ject of this armament was to over
throw the recognized State authorities
by force of arms. The their party
claim that they were only prepar
ing to resist any extension of this
usurpation by the same illegal means be
yond the present term of office. The
Kellogg party began to seize the arms
thus purchased and held by private citi
zens. This movement has led to the re
volt. Such a revolt is much to be de
plored. Whatever excuse there may have
been for it( it is, in our judgment, with
out sufficient jurisdiction in the face of
all that it endangers, and will prove to
have been a great mistake. No one can
hope that the President and his advisers,
who counseled him to sustain the origi
nal outrage, will now retrace their steps
and allow a peaceful solution by the over
throw of the tyronny they have so long
defended. But one issue can come of the
revolution, and it will be put down.
[From the Philadelphia Teli graph, lad.]
There cau be no two opinions about
Kellogg. The fact that he was not elect
ed Governor is not disputed by any one,
while the means that wore taken to scat
him in the gubernatorial chair of Louisi
ana—the midnight order of the drunken
Judge Durell, and tho pressure of Federal
bayonets—have been denounced in most
eloquent terms by no less a man than the
President of the Senate and the acting
Vice-President of the Uuited States,
Senator Carpenter, and by no less a body
than a select committee of Congress
which was sent to Louisiana to inquire
into the exact facts with regard to the
political situation there. There can be
no dispute about the fact that Kellogg’s
administration has been just what might
have been expected of a man who would
seize a State government in the manner
that he did, and the history of Louisiana
for the past two years is made up of a
series of outrages upon the rights of citi
zens which entitle those who have sub
mitted to them to the warmest sympathy
and the most lenient judgment of ail
friends of law, justice, and good govern
ment everywhere.
[From the Philadelphia Ledger, Ind.]
Tho revolt and bloodshed of the last
two days in New Orleans is the direct re
sult of the inexcusable neglect of Con
gress in failing to take such action in the
Louisiana dispute as would have insured
to the people of the Siate a fair election,
for Congress knew two sessions ago that
the Kellogg government wi.s not elected
quite as well as it knew that the irregu
larities in the returns of the McEnery
government afford plausible ground for
rejecting its claims.
[From the Hartford (Conn.) Times, Con.]
Kellogg, the Louisiana usurper, ar
ranged to defeat a majority of the voters
of that State through his registrars. Then
he ordered his policemen to disarm the
people. Upon this the citizens called a
lublic meeting. Kellogg set his tools to
ireak up the meeting. This caused some
unpleasantness and the loss of life and
limb. Usurpers are not good peace
makers. Raised to power by force of
arms, they, sustain themselves by force
and oppression, which are not good Gov
ernors in a Republic.
The National Spobtsmen’s Conven
tion.—The National Sportsmen’s Conven
tion, recently held at Niagara Falls, has
afforded a gratifying earnest of both a
disposition and ability to accomplish a
well defined and desirable work—the pro
tection of game and fish over all the
States and Territories. The delegates
effected a permanent national organiza
tion for this purpose, and besides the main
proposition the series of resolutions
agreed to covered three others—the en
forcement of such laws as might be passed,
the establishment of the right of property
in nsefnl hunting dogs, and the passage of
laws prohibitingat all times the destruction
of all song and nsefnl birds that are not
game birds, to promote which objects
clnbs and associations are to be estab
lished throughout the country. Such
action as is here indicated, if faithfnlly
carried out, will secure results in the
highest degree valuable. It will cheek
the wantonness which slaughters merely
for the wasteful and brutal pleasure of
taking life, and will exert a regulating,
and consequently perpetuating influence
over such preserves as at proper seasons
are desirable sporting grounds. Sport
and profit will go hand in. hand, and tho
delicacies of the mountains and plains,
lakes and rivers will be increased many
fold by stopping the present prodigality
in taking life.
Bubglab Caged In an Ice Box.—In
New York, on Tuesday night, Julius
Wiltenborg, heard a noise as if some per
son were breaking into his store. He at
once descended, with candle in hand, and.
made a complete search of the premises.
No’trace of the burglar could be found at
first, bnt a happy thought struck him and
ha proceeded to investigate the ice-box.
He was rewarded by finding strangr
mail placidly sitting on top of block.,
of ice. The fellow stated that he only
wished to refresh himself. He was
arrested.
