Hon. Henry B. Tompkins. It will not
take the Judge long to put McIntosh

Columbus Enquirer: We have seen it
stated that cotton was being drawn from
Georgia to Alabama to the Gulf ports,
and this has been quoted gleefully as an
evidence that the policy of the Central
Railroad has been a failure. Now we
know very little about the shipments
from Atlanta, the point whence they brag
they got their receipts. We do know re
garding the receipts at this point. Fig
ures show that the Central Railroad, in
through and local cotton, has drawn
‘from Alabama over 64,000 bales, many
thousand bales having come from Vicks
burg. Miss.. Mobile, Selma, Montgomery,
and other points in Alabama. We sim
ply refer to the figures in our cotton re
port. Ail this has passed over the Cen
tral Road to Savannah. Has Alabama
taken one-tenth of that amount from
Georgia ?
Thomasville Times: As some of our
contemporaries have been charging us
with claiming undue notoriety for Thom
asville as a cotton market, we present
here with the number of bales received
and shipped up to tbe first day of Janu
ary. They foot up ten thousand seven
hundred and twenty-three bales, which is
in excess of . over one thousand bales
shipped during the entire cotton year of
7.V7L These figures show that Thom
asville is fast making her way to the front
as one of the best cotton markets in
Southwest Georgia. It is calculated our
receipts will foot up tbe present cotton
year 15,000 bales, which is about double
what they were four years ago. At this
rate of increase, our town will soon rank
among the most flourishing cotton mar
kets in the interior.
Greenville Vindicator: We shall be

confident she can successfully conduct
the paper for forty days. During the
war it was said that the many farms were
better managed by the ladies during the
absence of the husbands than when the
*'glide men were at home. So we trust
the paper will improve under the tempo
rary management of the lady to whose
care it is entrusted. We cau only say
she brought us out wonderfully when she
kindly took us in charge, and we believe
she will Jo the same for the paper.
Rome Commercial: We are of the num
ber of those who favor a convention to
remodel the Constitution. We think it
important to set up an effectual bar to all
fraudulent claims on the overtaxed people
of Georgia. As tbe law now stands it is
oasy to tax us, not only without our con
sent but against our protest. Those who
now vote taxes, and appropriations, and
loans, are, a majority of them, tax-proof;
j u * a ct, they are even benefitted by the
law which puts a burthen on the tax
payers. We are groaning under a load
of taxation imposed upon us, in spite of
our protest, by those who paj T none.
'»e wish to see engrafted on the funda
mental law an effectual check upon the
taxing power. Here, then, are two im
portant objects to be accomplished by a
Constitutional Convention. Such a con
tention is necessary to close the door
effectually and finally against the holders
pf many millions of fraudulent bonds. It
is necessary in order to give security to
property, by putting effectual restrictions
u Pou taxing power. That power should
n °t delegated to counties or to munic-
V. . cor porations, except under the most
stringent and effectual provisions against
its exercise except with the consent of
those who have to pay the taxes. Either
m these objects is amply sufficient to
justify the call of a convention. Taken
together they seem to us to demand im
peratively the meeting of such a body at
mi early day.

the Mississippi valley:
I have not received the report, but will

Late on the afternoon of tbe 18 th inst.,
Messrs. Welch «fc Bozeman, both estima

counter near Dennis Station,in which the
former gashed tbe latter several times, a
wound on the neck being quite ugly if
not dangerous. On the next day a negro
man nearly succeeded in slicing off the
ear of another on Mr. J. T. Dennis'
plantation. On Friday, again, two dar
kies, on the plantation of Dr 11. B. Nis-
bet, derived much benefit by letting out
a little blood, and tbe whiskey imbibed
in Eatonton, tbe day before, being borers
of the usual pattern. Eaton.
A Thrilling Climax.—The Senate de
bate on Mr. Schurz’s Louisiana resolution
was continued by Mr. Howe, who spoke
over two hours. He declared his unfal
tering devotion to the Republican party.
Having likened it to a ship in a stormy
sea, he said: ‘‘Let those who wish go
ashore, but for my part I shall continue
the voyage. If the ship goes down I
shall go down with it, whether on the
deck or in the hold is for the people of
Wisconsin to say. But when the ship is
raised, as it indubitably will be—when or
bow I cannot predict, tbe Great Under
writer will attend to that—there will be
found still floating at the peak a flag on
which will be emblazoned—.” Here the
Senator tried to quote from the Declara
tion of Independence, but finding his
memory treacherous he appealed to Mr.
Conkling to help him out, and Ihen ob
served, “But I am so tired I cannot re
member the Declaration of Independence,
and think it time to stop,” and with this
remark he sat down.—Boston Advertiser.
One night recently the gas suddenly
went out in Marseilles and left the whole
city in darkness. At that moment a
gymnast was performing on the flying
trapeze in the theatre. * He was even in
the air at that very instant, having made
his leap from one trapeze to catch the
other. He caught the other successfully,
but in such a nervous condition that he
remained in a convulsive or cataleptic-
state. He could not relax his grasp to
change his position; his muscles held
rigidly as steel and his whole body was
fixed swinging like a stone. He was
taken down in that condition and recov
ered next day.
Miss Gertrude Pillow, daughter of Gen.
Gideon J. Pillow, of this city, shot a bear
near Old Town Landing, Arkansas, last
week. The young lady was attended by
a youth named Charles Mitchell, brother
of Captain John H. Mitchell. Bruin re
ceived two loads from a double-barreled
shot-gun, and turning over with a sigh,
somewhat akin to a growl, quietly
breathed his last. He was of a very
large size, and the steaks were juicy and
nice. Miss Pillow has the reputation of
being skilled in the use of the fowling
piece, and has brought down many deer.

Attempting Suicide About Shoes.
Several days since a boy in Pottstown,
York county. Pa., about eight years of
age, having been greatly disappointed m
not receiving a new pair of shoes which
had been promised to him by Lis grand
father. became so desperate that he made
a most determined effort to bring an end
to his juvenile existence by strangling
himself with a cord. His case excited
the sympathies of some of the neighbors
to such an extent that the shoes were
purchased for him.
A Mother Stabbed by Her Son.—Wm.
Feagler, aged fourteen years, who lives

knife in his mother’s right side, making
so serious a wound that her recovery is
doubtful. Soon afterward he fled.

Washington, January 16, 1875.
THE LOUISIANA DEBATE
has continued through all of this week.
It was determined by the Radical major
ity in their caucus that it should not con
tinue longer than to-night, but although
they may be able to stave off the discus
sion for tbe present, opportunities will
be constantly afforded for a further ven
tilation of the crimes on liberty com
mitted by those now in power. The
Radical Senators have this week adhered
strictly to the programme marked out
by them. Like the Fresident, they have
avoided expressing any direct approba
tion of the action of Gen. DeTrobriand,
although seeking, by a one-sided
presentation of the circumstances,
to fortify it. This week the Radical
Senators who have spoken have done
their utmost to provoke the Southern
Democratic Senators. They have run
over with the foulest abuse of the South
ern people and piled up lies mountain high.
A few attempts were madejto expose the
calumnies showered upon the South, but
as fast as one falsehood was shown up, a
dozen others followed. John A. Logan,
who took up two days, was evidently de
termined that no one should exceed him
i iu malignant denunciation of a people as
‘ far above him as heaven is above earth.
In the early days of 1860-'01
THIS MAN LOGAN
was a loud-mouthed secessionist, and
expressed openly his purpose of raising a
regiment for the Southern Confederacy;
afterwards he concluded it would pay
better to be a “Uniqp shrieker.” He went
into the army and came out a Major Gen
eral, and came back to the House of Rep
resentatives. Five years ago, when the
Senatorial election was about to take
place in Illinois. Logan went to tbe State
capital and so pestered tbe members of
the Legislature that they were forced to
elect h«m to the Senate to get rid of him.
When the Greeley movement was started
in 1872 Logan got on the fence and staid
there until he saw Greeley had no chance,
and then no one shouted louder than
ho did for Grant. He is now con
tending with Morton and Conkling for
the favor of the Ca*sar in the White House,
and to do him justice it must be said that
he has exceeded them in fulsome adula
tion of the President and in bitter denun
ciation of the South merely because its
people wish to have privilege of govern
ing themselves. Logan possesses brute
courage, but has none of tbe bravery of
true manhood, for no one with the in
stincts of a gentleman would have stood
up and taunted such men as Generals
Gordon and Ransom because of their de
votion to the South, more especially as
his purpose and hope was to goad them
into resenting his insolence so that he
could make political capital out of their
replies. General Gordon's speech is suffi
cient answer to such vile stuff as
issued from the unclean lips of
Logan. It ought to be scattered broad
cast over the North and West. Copies of
it will be sent for distribution among the
members of all the Western Legislatures
now in session. Logan fired some of his
slanders at the State of Georgia, and al
though several of his assertions were
proven to be entirely destitute of truth,
lie has had the hardihood to retain them in
his speech with which he intends to flood
tho West.
A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.
The evidence has accumulated that a
gigantic conspiracy has been formed here,
of which the President is the head, to
wrest the whole South from the Demo
cratic party. It is not certain that this
scheme includes Virginia, for there are
reasons which would render it rather diffi
cult to carry it out in respect to that
State. But it is deliberately proposed to
enact such additional legislation as will
suffice to overthrow the will of the people
in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Texas. Louisiana, and Arkansas, and se
cure their electoral vote in 1876 for the
Republican candidate, who, it is now al
most certain, will be Gen. Grant. Ido not
believe this conspiracy will or caa suc
ceed, but it will not fail for lack of effort
on the part of those who have concocted
it. The people of the country are, how
ever, at last aroused. The Louisiana vil
lainy has opened their eyes to the neces
sity of watching the desperate men who
are now in power. And the Democratic
members of both Houses of Congress feel
in better spirits than they have for many
years. Y^iey feel that behind them are
the majority of the people of country,
and hence they will fight with renewed
vigor the onslaughts those who
have murdered the constitution, and are
now seeking to destroy what few
liberties they have left to the people. It
is now not improbable that the demands
of the carpet-baggers that appropriations
for the army be made for two yejirs will
be seriously considered by the majority
in Congress. When this idea was first
broached it was thought that it was un
constitutional, although such an objection
as that would have had no weight as
against party interest. But an examina
tion of the Constitution discloses the fact
that it expressly permits of appropria
tions for two years. Therefore the only
question to be considered by the Admin
istration is whether it would be politic to
undertake such a thing in view of the
present temper of the North. With pub
lic sentiment in the North backing them,
it would be possible for the Democratic
minority to prevent the success of such
an attempt should it be made.
RADICAL PLOTS.
A Democratic Senator to-day said he
was in favor of living in the Capitol
building from now until tbe fourth of
March, if it should become necessary, in
order to defeat the Radical plots. Mr.
Morton has called two meetings of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
this week, but no session was held, be
cause bis presence was desired in the
caucus. His object is to rush through
the committee a resolution admiting
Pmchback, and then to bring it up in
tho Senate, and rush it through and have
Pinchback sworn in. Mr. Morton will
find, however, that Pinchback can’t be
rushed into the Senate, and that he will
have a big fight before he succeeds. In
the debate to-day Clayton, the contempt
ible Arkansas carpet-bagger, vented his
spleen upon the people he has been rob
bing for several years past.
Florida's senators.
Some amusement was created here by
tbe action 4 of the lower House of the
Florida Legislature requesting Senator
Gordon to attend to the interests of
Florida while her Senators were away.
General Gordon would, no doubt, take
great pleasure in doing anything for the
benefit of the people of Florida whether
formally requested by her Legislature or
not. But the cause of amusement lies in
the inference that the interests of Florida
were f neglected because of the absence of
her two carpetbag Senators. Neither one of
them has ever lifted his hand or raised
his voice for the benefit of the people he
assumes to represent, and their perma
nent absence would be no loss to tbe
State of Florida. One thing, however,
may be said for the old man Gilbert.
While he has done nothing for the State,
he has not like the rest of the carpet
baggers, sought every opportunity to re
vile and malign those upon whom
he was feeding, but has content
ed himself with voting for the un
constitutional legislation designed for
the benefit of him and his fellows.
He is now within a few weeks of com
pleting his six years terra, and in all this
time he has never been known to venture
one word upon any subject before the
Senate. The Conservatives here are feel
ing much interest is the selection of a

successor to Gilbert, and are indulging in
hopes that he may be a Democrat, and
one capable of reflecting the same credit
upon that State which pertained to her
representatives in the past.
RICH DEVELOPMENTS.
Some rich developments have taken
place this week in relation to the Pacific
Mail corruption fund,but the overshadow
ing interest taken in the Louisiana out
rage has diverted entirely the public at
tention. Among those who have been
discovered as participants in the corrup
tion fund are a number of obscure per
sons who could do no good or no harm
to any measure. One or two so-called
newspaper men have been found to be
mixed up in the affair. One of these men
has been known here as a notorious lob
byist for many years, and has used what
ever, newspaper connection he has had to
further his own lobby purposes. He will
probably now be disowned by all re
spectable newspapers. There is one
source of gratification through all this
business, which is that with the exception
of Mr. Schumaker not a single Demo
cratic member of Congreas has been
found concerned in it any way, and Mr.
Schumaker was not a member at the time.
Among those who arc found to have re
ceived bribes are John W. Forney, who
was Executive Clerk of the Senate, and
Mr. Cole, the Republican chairman of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations.
F. A. R.
The White House Iueubus.
[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Before Grant was elected President
Gen. Frank P. Blair, who knew him well,
predicted that he would never leave the
Presidential chair alive: or, in other
words, he would use the military power
to subvert the Constitution and make
himself a perpetual Dictator. This view of
his character was derided at the time,
and Gen. Blair was stigmatized for giving
it expression. His whole course since
has confirmed the prediction of General
Blair, and few reasonable men who are
not utterly blinded by partizan attach
ments now doubt the willingness of
Grant to be a usurper of the Ciesar,
Cromwell and Napoleon order. Recent
events have given to this opinion
marked emphasis and force. The man
who will sustain his military satrap in
dispersing a State Legislature at the
point of the bayonet would, beyond
doubt, be perfectly willing to order that
same henchman to break up the Congress
of the United States if it was for his
interest to do so. Nothing could deter
him but the fear that in endeavoring to
be Cuosar be might fail, and come to per
sonal grief. As long as he is President
liberty is in danger. He is the enemy of
the Government, onty looking for an op
portunity to destroy it. He is a standing
menace to public tranquility. There will
be an uneasiness felt until he is out of
office. He possesses every material from
which a despot is made. All his educa
tion is military. His instincts are mili
tary. He carries about him the atmos
phere of a camp. Ho first came iuto
public life in a time of civil disorder and
revolution, when the Constitution and
laws were suspended by the edict
of a General. To those traditions he
is still faithful. The product of the
war, he desires to continue a state of
things to which the war gave rise. His
personal habits and disposition are in
harmony with his antecedents. He is
greedy and avaricious, aud has an inordi
nate love of that which has been pro
nounced the root of all evil. To obtain
it he would sacrifice every thing, includ
ing his individual honor and the freedom
of his country. For public opinion he
has a most supreme indifference—an
indifference which amounts to con
tempt. Having no moral sensibilities,
it is as difficult to make him fell
the voice of public sentiment as it is
to penetrate the hide of a rhinoceros.
If there is anything which he detests it
is an independent newspaper. Years
after the war had closed, when a military
tyrant had the audacity to suppress the
Richmond Examiner, he uublushingly
declared his regret that he was not able
to suppress such papers as the Cincinnati
Enquirer and Chicago Times. We thank
God that he was unable to do so, and that
we have some power which we shall gladly
use to suppress him. Between him aud
the journalists of the great cities there is
that antipathy which naturally arises be
tween those who are watchful of the peo
ple's rights and one who is endeavoring to
destroy them. His administration has been
as personal as that of Louis Napoleon.
Iu order to be the only object in popular
view, he has surrounded himself with a
Cabinet of nobodies, mere insignificant
creatures, whom he could treat as if they
were members of a military staff. He
has taken especial care to have devoted
adherents as Secretaries of the War and
Navy Departments, and to have as Attor
ney-General a man who would endeavor
to give the sanction of law to any of his
acts, however atrocious. Iu Attorney-Gen
eral Williams he has one who, if he had
lived in the day of James the Second of
England, would have been as base a flunky
and tool as Jeffreys, without his legal
knowledge and personal bravery. He has
quartered upon the public a horde of de
pendents, relations aud family kindred,
and in other respects has shown that he
regarded the Presidential office as a fran
chise to be used for the especial benefit of
the Grant family. In order to accustom
the people to hereditary succession he re
ceives the King of the Sandwich Islands,
not through a Constitutional officer like
the Secretary of State, but deputizes his
son—a Lieutenant in the army to whom
he gives the pay of a Colonel—to
perform that duty. His old military
staff are his private secretaries. He
lobbies with Congress to double his sal
ary'. The local administration of the
District of Columbia is in the hands of
notorious thieves and burglars, but as
they are. devoted to Grant, they are es
pecially honored with every mark of his
favor. The army and navy he uses
mainly to control elections for the ends
which he desires, and no Czar of Russia
was ever so prompt to employ soldiers to
perpetrate tyrannical acts. The country
is tired and heartily sick of this
man, and if the House of Representa
tives recently elected by the people
were in session be would be undoubted!}'
immediately impeached and put on trial
before the Senate for high crimes and
misdemeanors. The Louisiana atrocity is
too grave to pass without this fitting se
quel to it. A partisan Senate might not
convict, but the baseness of Grant aud
his unscrupulous tool would, in the testi
mony taken and in the arguments of
counsel, be spread upon the National
archives in that enduring form in which
it is proper to perpetuate his infamy.

druined—Report of the Sub-Committee.
Toned Down.—All the Washington
letter writers claim that Grant’s Louisi
ana message was much toned down under
the influence of outward pressure, ap
plied to him principally by Secretaries
Fish, Jewell, Bristow. Mr. Vice-President
Wilson, and several Senators and Repre
sentatives. In consequence of their re
monstrances, the message was partially
re-written and very essentially modified
in its character. Originally it backed
Sheridan up to the handle—declaration
of outlawry—trial by military commis
sion—ball cartridges—kneel—front rank,
make ready—aim—fire—and so on. From
that elevated height of rampage, the cam-
mander-in-chief was forced down with
difficulty by an immensity of plain talk
with the bark on it. However, he con
soles himself with the idea that he said a ,
good deal anyhow, and he did. —Macon

General Sheridan appears to pay as lit
tle regard to truth as he does to the con
stitution, and to know no more of the
one than he does of the other, or of civil
government. It now appears that it was
true that he told people in New Orleans,
on his arrival there, that he was on his
way to Havana, and that he merely took
New Orleans on his route, without in
tending to stop. And all the while, he
had his instructions in his pocket! Is it
so much of a marvel that the brutal and
barbarous dispatches of such an officer
should be contradicted by the united tes
timony of all the people of New Orleans?
including all the clergy?—Hartford
Times,
Washington, January 15.—The sub
committee appointed to visit New Or
leans for the purpose of investigation has
reported to the General Committee.
After giving a full account of the action
of the Returning Board, the Committee
report that they are constrained to say
the action of the Board in the rejection
of the returns in the parish of Rapides,
and giving the seats for that parish to
the Republican candidates, was arbitrary,
unfair and without warrant of law. If
the Committee were to go behind the pa
pers before the Board and consider alleged
charges of intimidatiou upon proofs be
fore the Committee, their fiuding would
necessarily he the same. Rapides parish
was taken aff a sample parish of intimida
tion. Many witnesses of both parties
show beyond question that there was a
free, full, fair and peaceable election and
registration. There was no evidence of
any intimidation of voters practiced on
the day of the election, although it was
asserted that intimidation of colored men
before th» idijCtion had been effected by
threats of refusal to employ them, or to
discharge them if they voted the Repub
lican ticket. No evidence, either of dis
charge or of refusal to employ, was pro
duced. Certain witnesses themselves,
every one office holders, testified gener
ally to such action, but hardly any one
was able to specify a single instance in
which be beard any employer so threaten
or discharge any voter, or know of any
employe being so threatened or dis
charged. Not one single colored man
throughout the entire parish was pro
duced to testify either to such threat or
to the execution of such purpose, whether
before or after the election.
The committee allude to numerous ille
gal acts of the Returning Board, and say:
“Again, we are constrained to declare
that the action of the Returning Board,
on the whole, was arbitrary, unjust and,
in our opinion, illegal; and that this ar
bitrary. unjust and illegal action alone
prevented the return by the Board of a
majority of tbe Conservative members to
the Lower House. The committee con
fined their investigation to two parishes,
and find that no general intimidation of
Republican voters was established. No
colored man was produced who bad been
threatened or assaulted by any Conserva
tive because of political opinion, or dis
charged from employment, or refused
employment. Of all those who testified
to intimidation, there was hardly any one
who. of his own knowledge, could
specify a reliable instance of such
acts; and of the white men who were
produced to testify generally on such
subjects, very nearly all, if not every
single one, was a holder of office. No
witnesses, we believe, succeeded in nam
ing iu any parish five Republicans who
supported the Kellogg Government, who
were not themselves office-holders, or re
lated to office-holders, or those having of
ficial employment. On the other hand
applications to the United States Com
missioners in the various parishes, not
only for alleged crimes, but because of
the alleged threats of discharge aud non
employment, or interference with politi
cal preference, were frequent. Upon
these applications warrants were often is
sued, and white citizens arrested and
bound over for triali In many localities
Federal troops were detained for service
under the Marshals and Deputy Marshals,
and not only made many arrests immedi
ately before the election, but reports that
they were coming to particular neighbor
hoods about the time of the election for
the purpose of making such arrests
served, as the Conservatives claimed, to
intimidate, and sometimes even to pro
duce a stampede amoug the white voters.
“How differently the two parties look
upon the same fact will appear from the
testimony of Mr. Reddle. He was Uni
ted States Commissioner in the parish of
Iberia. Shortly before the election, upon
applications of colored persons, he issued
a large number of warrants. He con
sidered it his duty upon the arrest of the
persons charged, to require bail from
sureties who possessed lauded estates
within the parish, certified to by the as
sessor of the parish to be of sufficient
value, of which the title was approved by
the Register of Deeds. This rule neces
sarily produced delay in procuring bail
for persons arrested, and he was waited
on in one case by a procession of citizens
who offered him a bond signed by every
man in the procession. This he regarded
as in derision of his proceedings, aud re
fused to receive the bond. He was called
as a witness to prove the intimidation
that existed in that parish. He had
himself no knowledge of any act of the
kind except this procession, which he
thought was calculated to intimidate the
colored voters. He had no idea that ar
rests made upon his warrants and pro
ceedings under them had any effect in
interfering with the Conservative voters.
On the other hand, the Conservatives in
that neighborhood thought about this
matter just the reverse. Iudeed, the re
ports of the military officers iu command
of the forces of the United States in the
country, though generally indicating a
condition of quiet aud order, take some
times an entirely different view of the
situation. On the other haud, it was in
evidence that blacks who sought to act
with the Conservative party were on
their part sometimes exposed to cruelty
and abuse.
“In the interior one colored man was
shot for making a Conservative speech;
and in New Orleans, it appeared from the
testimony, that colored men who sought
to co-operate with the Conservatives were
subject to so much abuse from the police
and otherwise that the Association of Law
yers volunteered to protect them, but with
little effect”
The Committee give an account of the
general condition of affairs'in the State.
The conviction amoug the whites that the
Kellogg Government was an usurpation:
the general want of confidence in State
and local affairs; the heavy decline in
State securities, and the exorbitant taxa
tion; the reduction of wages; the non
fulfillment of personal or poll tical pledges;
malfeasance of home and local officials;
disputes among leading colored persons:
loss or embezzlement in some cases of
the School Fund, and the failure of the
Freedman’s Bank—all combined to divide
the views of the colored voters during the
campaign. An effort was accordingly
made by the Conservatives to acquire a
part of the negro vote. With that view
it was sought in many quarters to pro
pitiate them. Frequent arrests by United
States Marshals for intimidation or threats
of non-employment, and the apprehen
sion that was felt that the Returning
Board would count out their men if an
excuse for such course were offered, all
combined, especially after the 14 th of
September, to put tho Conservatives on
their good behavior, and the result was
that in November, 1874, the people of
Louisiana did fairly have a free, peacea
ble, full registration and election, in
wbich a clearly Conservative majority
was elected to the lower House of the
Legislature, of which majority the Con
servatives were deprived by the unjust,
illegal and arbitrary action of the Return
ing Board.
“ That there were turbulent spirits can
not be denied. Those returned to office
by the Returning Board in violation of
the wishes of the people are especially
odious. In one instance the editor of the
Shreveport News, in anticipation of frus
tration by the Returning Board of the
will of the people, openly declared that
the only remedy was to kill the usurpers,
and declared this to be the sentiments of
the Conservatives of his section of the
State. But, beyond a newspaper editor
or two, no declaration of that sort was
brought to our notice, although it was
admitted on all hands that the white peo
ple of the whole State felt greatly out
raged by the action of the Returning
Board. Indeed, it is conceded by all par
ties that the Kellogg Government is only
upheld by the Federal military. With
draw the military and the Government
will go down. This was true before the
4 th of January as well as now. Govern
or Kellogg says this is owing to the doubt
that Congress has permitted about the
legality of his Government. The Con
servatives say this is not only because the
I Government is illegal, but because it has
; been abusive aud corrupt.”
Of the White League of New Orleans,
the committee say: “It is an organiza
tion composed of different clubs, num
bering iu all between 2,500 and 2.800,
the members of which have provided
arms for themselves, and, with or without
arms, engage in military drill. They
have no uniform, their arms are the prop
erty of individuals, aud not of the organ
izations. They comprise a large number
of reputable citizens aud of property-
holders. Their purpose they declare to
be simply protection. A necessity occa
sioned by the existence of leagues among
the blacks; of the hostility with which
the Kellogg Government arrayed'the black
against the white race; of the want of
security to peaceable citizens and their
families which existed; for those reasons,
and because also of the peculiar formation
of the police brigade. On the other hand,
the Republicans assert that this is an
armed body of volunteers, existing for the
purpose of intimidating the blacks and
overthrowing the Kellogg Government.
That it had any considerable relations
outside of tbe city of New Orleans, or
that it was intended in any way to inter
fere with the rights of colored citizens,
did not appear. Nor on the other hand
did it appear that there was any exten
sive secret league among the blacks of
any kind. That the White League would
readily co-operate in any feasible scheme
for overthrowing the Kellogg Govern
ment your committee do not doubt. So
with substantially all the white citizens
of Louisiana. Such organizations may
be dangerous, and are very rarely to be
justified. The affair of the 14th of Sep
tember is an illustration of this.” The
committee gave a detailed account of the
trouble at that time, and say:
The Conservatives of Louisiana do
not propose to fight the Federal Govern
ment. They submit, not because they
want to, but becau*’^ they must; not be
cause they proclaim any enmity again. ;,
the flag; not because free labor ha^ rot
been found practicable; not because of
hostility to the colored people because
they are colored, but because they re
gard themselves defrauded o«*t of the
election of 1872—yet more out of the laaft-
election—and because they think their
State Government has been to the last
degree destructive and corrupt. Indeed,
in our judgment, the substantial citizens
of the State will submit to any fair de
termination of the question of the late
elections, or to anything by which they
can secure firm and good government.
What they seek is poace and an opportu
nity for prosperity. To that end they
will support any form of government that
will afford them just protection in their
distress. They have got beyond any
mere question of political party.”
The committee recites at length the
facts relative to the attempted organiza
tion of the Legislature January 4, and
conclude as follows: “Your committee
have not been able to agree upon any
recommendation; but upon the situation
in Louisiana, as it appeared before us, we
are all agreed.” The report is signed by
Charles Foster, W T m. Walker Phelps,
Clarkson N. Potter,
The evidence upon which the sub-com
mittee base their conclusions is not yet
written out. It will be submitted here
after, if it shall be deemed desirable. The
committee themselves voted to adopt the
report, and also to report the same to the
House, with the recommendation that the
same be printed and recommitted.

What the Message Means.
If President Grant’s special message on
the Louisiana business is to be accepted
by Congress and tbe country as having
any force and meaning, it is this: That
under circumstances similar to those in
Louisiana, the President would be justi
fied in dispersing an opposition House at
Washington and organizing a Republican
House in its stead. This is the startling
inference plainly deducible from the Pres
ident’s plea. Indeed, he all but declares
it in so many words when he says:
“Each branch of a legislative assembly
is the judge of the election and qualifica
tion of its own members; but if a mob
or a body of unauthorized persons seize
aud hold the legislative hall in a tumul
tous and riotous manner and so prevent
any organization by those legally re
turned as elected, it might become the
duty of the State Executive to interpose
if requested by a majority of the mem-
bers-elect to suppress the disturbance and
enable the persons elected to organize the
House. Any exercise of this power
would be justifiable under most extraor
dinary circumstances, and it then would
be the duty of the Governor to call upon
the constabulary, or, if necessary, the
military force of the State.”
Where does President Grant or his At
torney General find the law for this extra
ordinary assertion? In what book of
statutes, Federal or State, in what part of
the Constitution, or in what recognized
code of parliamentary rules does be find
a warrant for the assumption that the
Governor of a State may treat one-half
of a House of Representatives as a “mob,”
expel it from the chamber and make a
Legislature of the other half? It is the
right of a Legislature to organize itself;
if it fails to organize at the first attempt,
it must make another, and another and
another; it must keep on at the work,
day after day—as many Legislatures have
done before this—until it succeeds. If
the minority, by a violation of law, secures
the organization and control, it is still in
the power of the majority to withdraw,
effect a lawful organization, and submit
the question of its legality to the proper |
tribunals. There is no warrant for the I
i Shad, Oysters, Open and Shell
of organizing the body: and when Presi
dent Grant declares that Gov. Kellogg
may do this in Louisiana, he as good as
declares that President Grant may do it
in Washington city. And why not? If
the labored array of murders and alleged
intimidations which the message presents
justifies the armed expulsion of the
Democratic members of a State Legisla
ture, why may not a similar array of
murders and alleged intimidations in
several Southern States warrant the
armed expulsion of the Democratic mem
bers of Congress elected in those States
from the House of Representatives
at Washington ? Louisiana is a part
of the Union: so is Arkansas, so is
Mississippi, so is Alabama, so is Georgia;
and if the President can say that a Gov- *

these States shall not exercise their func

he may, at his pleasure, prohibit the
Democratic members of Congress chosen
in all these indicted States to exercise
their functions. If, at the request of a
Governor of Louisiana, not chosen by
the people, but made by himself, he may
drag five Democratic members of a State
Legislature from their seats, byjja still
greater warrant may he, as the recog
nized Chief Magistrate of the United
States, drag thirty or forty Democratic
members of Congress from their seats.
Whether the President intended to do
it or not, he has made an argument in
favor of his right to do in the capitol of
the nation what he declares Kellogg had j
a right to do, and what he assisted him
to do at the capitol of Louisiana; the
same reasoning that justifies the one in
disorganizing and reorganizing a Legisla
ture would justify the other in disorgan
izing and reorganizing a Congress.
