THE LOUISIANA DOCUMENTS.
Official Reports of Gen. Emory and
Col. Morrow—Merrill’s Action—A
Clear View of the Louisiana Status
Under Kellogg’s Oppression—Gen.
Sherman’s Endorsement.
The President sent to the United
States Senate yesterday, in farther re
sponse to the resolution of inquiry, an
other large mass of correspondence re
lative to affairs in Louisiana. The cor
respondence dates back to October 25,
IX7I, commencing with the telegrams
M nt by Gen. Emory tp the War De
partment, in which he expresses strong
disapprobation of Maj. Merrill’s action
in making affidavits against citizens of
Shreveport, under which they were ar
rested, for alleged violations of the
Enforcement Act. The following is an
abstract :
MERRILL'S CONDUCT IN LOUISIANA.
Gen. Emory informed Maj. Merrill
that he considered his personal ap
pearance as prosecutor as a departure
from the general rules of the service,
and mischievous in its tendency. Mer
rill thereupon explained that his action
was due to the fact that no citizen
• could have made the affidavits except
at, the risk of his life, and submits sun
-*■ dry voluminous reports detailing the
lawless condition of affairs in the Red
liver region. These reports being all
before the War Department, Adjutant
General Townsend telegraphed to Mer
rill December 7, 1874, through the head
quarters of the army, that the depart
ment considered his action justified by
the circumstances.
hodgson’s telegraph exploit.
The papers next comprise a long re
port from Gen. Emory concerning Lieu
truant Hodgson’s arrest by the civil
authorities for cutting telegraph wires,
and various reports of subordinate
officers giving details of the disorders
and massacres in Colfax and Coushatta
parish, etc, Emory subsequently re
p••i ts liis action detailing Lieut. Col.
Henry A. Morrow to proceed to the
It and river region and make a thorough
examination of the condition of affairs.
STATE HOUSE OCCUPATION.
On November 16,1874, Adjutant Gen
eral Townsend telegraphed to Gen.
Emory as follows : “ F troops in New
Orleans still occupy the State House,
it is desired by the President that they
to- transferred to the quarters they are
to occupy for the Winter. Are there
any in the State House?”
Emory replied the next day : “ The
troops moved as directed. It will slight
ly increase estimated expenses for
quarters. While in the State House
si; ict orders were observed not to in
terfere with free ingress or egress of
citizens or with State affairs ?
HOSTILE ATTITUDE OF PEOPLE AND POLI
TICIANS.
Oil tic 15th of December Emory tel
egraphed to the department as fol
lows: The Returning Board and the
people representing the opposing party
differ on vital questions. Each avers
against the other crime of such enorm
ity that in the present excited state of
the public mind violence is imminent.
On the occasion of the 14th of Septem
ber I was informed in a dispatch dated
September 15, that the President di
rected you to say previous orders are
not to be observed. In consequence of
which my order to Col. Brooks to re
cognize Gov. Kellogg was revoked, and
an interregnum intervened.
To avoid future misunderstanding ip
the impending disturbance which may
happen at any moment, or may not oc
cur until after the meeting of the Leg
islature iu January, I ask to be inform
ed if t iie instructions of your dispatch
of September 18 are to be considered
in force, or if I am to await the result
of another application from Mr. Kel
1< gg to the President. To this Briga
dier General Townsend replied Decem
ber IG, as follows ; The President di
rects that you make arrangements to
be in readiness to suppress violence,
and have it understood that you will do
it.” On December 16 Emory tele
graphs : “ Since my dispatch of yes
terday, information comes which I
think justifies the conclusion that per
is >nal violence and armed conflict will
u be used by contending parties to
settle the pending political troubles in
this city.”
col. morrow’s report,
Pnder date of Shreveport, Decem
ber 11, 1874, Lieut. Col. Morrow makes
a brief report of his investigations in
that vicinity, in anticipation of a long
er report, which he says he will write
out subsequently. After stating that
there is no need of more troops in that
vicinity, ho says: “An arrangement
has been made between the United
States civil authorities here and cer
tain prominent citizens, under which it
is more than probable that there will
be no further calls for troops to act as
a posse to marshals. If this shall fol
low from the arrangement referred to,
the army will be relieved from a most
unpleasant and onerous duty, and a
great cause of local irritation will be
removed. As to the general condition
of affairs iu the parishes of Caddo and
De Soto, I reserve my opinion until I
have had fuller opportunity for form
ing, hut this much I may say—it is not
;uch as to give any ground of appre
hension on the part of the Command
ing General of serious disturbance of
any kind, at least at present. It is not
to be disguised, however, that local
disturbances af a very serious charac
ter may take place in the event of the
Returning Board, now in session at
New Orleans, ruling out the votes of
parishes for mere technical reasons.”
He goes on to say that
THE UNINEKSAL BENTINENT
there is that resistance and violence
would be entirely justifiable to secure
to the people a change of local admin
istrators ; to which they claim to be
entitled as the result of the late elec
tion. Lieut. Col. Morrow continues :
In all l have said it is important to
understand that so far as relates to the
United States there is not the slightest
disposition to oppose the General Gov
ernment, but the opposition to the
State government is determined and
expressed, and will manifest itself in
open violence whenever and wherever
it asserts itself.”
On the 24th of December, Lieut. Col.
Morrow, then in New Orleans, submits
a detailed report of his investigation.
Its main conclusions are the same as
those above given in his skeleton re ■
port. He expresses his opinion that
the troops may be safely withdrawn
from Alexandria, Colfax and Nachito
ches, and need not be increased at any
other point to compel obedience to the
laws of the United States, though he
a ids: “Troops will be required, how
ever, in nearly every section of the
m ptlj (Eongtitiitionalist.
j State to sustain the State authorities
if Congress by appropriate legislation
does not give some relief.”
He says he is aware of the fact that
the Federal troops have not been order
ed into parishes except on requisition
of the civil authorities, but recom
mends that stringent orders be. given
to officers to exercise caution, and not
to furnish posses except in cases where
the marshal, unaided, has tried to
serve his process and failed, and has
made application to the citizens for
proper assistance and been refused.
This, he believes, to be good policy as
well as* good law, and if strictly ad
hered to fewer demands will be made
on the military. He says the general
condition of affairs on the Red river is
bad. Respect and
REGARD FOR THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT
are expressed by all classes of people,
but they also express open contempt
and defiance of the authority of the
State government. This dissatisfac
tion and discontent affect all depart
ments of business, and the whole as
pect of the country has a look of pov
erty and neglect. The law lias fallen
into disregard and disrepute, and the
judges are openly charged with cor
ruption. United States deputy mar
shals have used United States soldiers
in eases where there was no necessity
for them, and iu some parishes have
discharged their duties in- an unneces
sarily harsh, if not cruel manner. Col.
Morrow gives the following us his deep
seated convictions : “The present State
government cannot maintain itself in
power a single hour without the pro
tection of Federal troops, and even
with their protection they will not be
able to collect taxes and perform the
functions of government.” The
STATE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT THE CONFI
DENCE OR RESPECT
of any portion of the community.”—
Further on he says : “If the expres
sions of the people are to be believed,
and I do believe them, there is a very
sincere desire to live quietly under the
protection of the constitution of the
United States and enjoy the blessings
of the national government. But there
is no disguising the fact that the pro
tection afforded by the Federal ad
ministration to the government of the
present State executive is the cause- of
bitter personal and political feeling iu
the breast of nineteen-twentieths of the
white inhabitants of the State.”
RESULT OF THE USURPATION.
In forwarding this report December
27th, Gen. Emory says: “ For nearly
two years the condition of affairs has
been very precarious, and the State
government has constantly shown it
self unable to cope with the difficulties
of the situation in which it is placed.
This state of things is Gaily growing
worse, and I commend the subject to
serious consideration. The mission of
the army to keep peace without the
power of removing the eauses disturb
ing it has, I think, been carried out as
far as practicable, and I therefore re
spectfully recommend that if it can be
done, the powers of the military com
mander be greatly increased, or that
some other measure be resorted to to
obtain the desired end.”
GENERAL SHERMAN’S INDORSEMENT.
General Sherman makes the follow
ing indorsement:
Headquarters of the Army, St. Louis,
January 4, 1875. —This paper is most
respectfully forwarded to the Secre
tary of War, with a request that he
submit it for the personal perusal of
the President. I know cf no officer of
CoL Morrow’s rank Who is better quali
fled to speak and write of matters like
this, and his opinions arc entitled to
great consideration. I profess fo have
some knowledge of the people of that
section, both white and black, from a
long residence among them before the
wur and several visits since ; but I
shall not intrude my opinion iu the
confusion in which the subject is now
enveloped.
W. T. Sherman, General.
The Death of Canon Kingsley.
A London dispatch announces that
the Rev. Charles Kingsley, Chaplain in
Ordinary to the Queen and to the
Prince of Wales, and Canon of Ches
ter, England, is dead. Canon Kings
ley, who, it will be remembered, visit
ed the United States a year or two ago,
lecturing iu Baltimore and other cities
during his sojourn, was the represent
ative of an ancient family of Cheshire,
the Kingleys of Kingsley, who joined
the parliamentary army under Crom
well, and afterwards Charles 11. under
Monk. He was born in Devon, June
12,1819, and was educated for the pro
fession of law, but entered the church,
beooming Curate at Eversley, a moor
land parish of Hampshire, to which
living he subsequently attained
through uls patron, Sir John
Cope. Mr. Kingsley mingled much
with workingmen, as may be in
ferred from his “Alton Locke,” and
has taken part iu various efforts to
ameliorate the condition of the work
ing classes to such an extent as to have
earned the name of the “chartist par
son.” He has distinguished himself as
a dramatic and lyric poet, his principal
poetical work being “The Saint’s Tra
gedy.” Ho was the author also of
several novels, and has published a
large number of lectures, sermons and
essays. Among his works may be men
tion “Phaeton, or Loose Thoughts for
Loose Thinkers “Hereward, the Last
of the English,” “Westward, Ho 1”
“The Hermits,” “At last, a Christmas
in the West Indies.” Ho was appoint
ed professor of modern history in the
University of Cambridge in 1859, and
after resigning that post was made
canon of Chester iu 1869.
Who Is He? —The correspondent of
the Pittsburgh Leader in describing
a scene in tire House of Representa
tives, draws the pleasant picture of
what he witnessed :
“ A prominent Southern Congress
man came in upon the floor of the
House considerably under the influence
of liquor. He walked very unsteadily
toward one of the sofas in the rear
portion of the hall. He fell heavily
upon the sofa, and as he fell a heavy
overcoat slid off from his arm upon
the floor, and out of the ovarcoat a
pocket-flask of liquor rolled out on the
floor several feet away. The distin
guished member fell at once into a
drunken slumber, and for several mo
ments he lay there with the whiskey
and overcoat upon the floor beside
him. Soon, however, a messenger
came along and picked up the bottle.
It was a touching scene to occur upon
! floor of the House. However, no
investigating committee is needed.”
Seme mourn tha shame„whioh sin
brings, rather than the sin which, brings
the shame.

MIDWINTER SCENES.
Arctic Experiences in New York—The
East and North River Bridged with
Ice.
Many deluded persons fondly believ
ed that the sudden thaw of yesterday
would solve the difficulties attending
navigation on the North and East
rivers. With sunset came frost, and
long before dawn to-day the ravages of
the thaw had been repaired. Naviga
tion was greatly hindered yesterday,
this morning it was almost impossible,
Both rivers and tho bay were entirely
covered with ice, and ice moreover of
great strength and consistency. It was
just before 9 o’clock that a man ven
tured upon the ice bridge over East
liver from tho New York side. He ad
vanced at first with great caution, but
finding that the ice was firm and strong,
ho started off at a run and had soon ac
complished haif his journey. His ex
ample was followed by hundreds, and
before long the white surface of tho
river was divided by a continuous black
line of pedestrians crossing to and fro.
Tho surface was perfectly free from
hummocks, and for a brief space the
question of rapid transit was effectu lly
solved.
The North river presented a most
appearance, being entirely
covered .vith ice from shore to shore.
Its aspect indeed was strangely simi
lar to the pictures with which arctic
travelers have made us familiar. Be
low Chambers street, indeed, the ice
was much broken, although to the eye
it was solid enough, but above that
point extended vast fields of ice, many
of which were many acres in area.—
The ferry plied through a channel so
narrow that two boats could not pass
one another except at a point where a
little bay had been formed in the ice.
Their trips occupied a longer time
than usual, but, thanks to the channel
alluded to above, the delay was not so
vexatious as on the East river. If the
cold weather lasts for a day or two
longer it is not improbable that ad
venturous citizens will have an oppor
tunity of walking across to New Jer
sey. If, indeed, the ice-field above Ho
boken should drift toward the bay it is
doubtful whether communication be
tween New Fork and Jersey City for
ferry boats would be possible. * The
Staten Island ferry boats also expe
rienced great difficulty in making their
trips this morning, and one of them at
least was unable to reach her slip.
CROSSING NIAGARA ON AN ICE BRIDGE.
Duriug the recent very cold weather
ice formed across the river nearly all
the way from Niagara Falls to Buffalo.
Tuesday morning, January 12, a
number of persons gathered in Pros
pect Park to see the ice formations,
which were magnificent and brilliant
beyond description. The spray had
frozen on the twigs and branches of the
trees, so that they formed almost a
mass of powdered crystals, branches
occasionally breaking with the weight.
Charles Bierstadt was there cm the
lookout for views for pictures. He
could, of course, point out the finest.
A friend attached himself to him for
the purpose of getting in the best posi
tion to appreciate the wonderful scene.
He soon led the way down the ferry
stair to the foot of the American fall.
Here the ice mounds were piled half
way up the fall. These were easily
climbed and passed. In front of the
main fall the bridge had formed across
the river. The bridge was new and
there had been no design to cross.
Mr. Bierstadt led the way nearly to
the centre of the river, and up to with
in 100 feet of the face of the fall, and
then concluded to attempt to cross.
His companions here, of course, be
came impressed with an interest not
wholly inspired by the wonderful mng
nificence of the spectacle. The bridge
was formed of ice cakes not frozen to
gether, but piled up into a vast mass,
when each side of the shore ap
peared about equally distant.
Absorbed with the scene, he had
hardly noticed their progress until
they reached tho middle of tho river.
There was nothing to do but to follow
Bierstadt. The sun was shining bright
ly, and it was quite warm there in the
gorge when quite cold ou the cliff. Tiie
bridge was very rough, having been
joined gradually by blocked ice. In
some places there were breaks and
fissures that they could look down into
fifteen feet. The last half of the pass
age was hastened by the frequent
sounds of the cracking and crushing of
the ice—iu fact, it was as rapid as the
rough broken surface would permit.
They were met a little distance out by
the ferryman’s boy and dog. This
quieted the residue of the passage.
It was tho first trip over, and likely
to be the last for some time, for hardly
had they reached the top of the cliff
when the crushing and grinding pro
cess had become evident over the whole
mass, .to a few minutes the whole be
gan to move. The noise of the crack
ing was like thunder ; the edges were
ground to powder, and blocks were
heaped up into little mountains. The
broken masses were carried rapidly
into the whirlpool, where the whirling,
crushing, grinding process was carried
on in a wonderful manner.
Mobile Gossip : All our readers know
that Mr. Lawrence Barrett passed
through Mobile, with his full company,
on Sunday night last. On Monday
night he opened at the Varieties Thea
tre, in his unequaled personage of
Richelieu, when a feeling incident “not
on the bills ” occurred. The grand old
Cardinal returns the sword to Francois
with the words,
“ Take away the sword; States can be saved
without it."
No sooner had Mr. Barrett’s grand
voice rolled out the sentiment than its
perfect patness to the situation struck
the house. The seats were all filled
with the “ bandittiand with one
spontapeous impulse every hand in the
house joined in the loud, long and en
thusiastic applause. The gentleman
who described the scene to us declares
that in all his experience of New Or
leans, he neyer heard such a kindly
round of approval. It rose and feU ;
swelled into thunder and died away,
only to rise again. The splendid inter
pretation of the lines by the greatest of
elocutionists struck a cord in tiie
Southern heart, and it was full three
minutes before he could proceed. Dur
ing that time the Cardinal Duke sat in
his red chair, and he “was not afraid!”
They do say that “ the windows of
Mrs. Fred. Grant’s soul, set a noble dis
tance apart, open wide and winningly
filled with soft, green hazel lights. The
door of her palate, equally capacious,
is set up and down with even milk
white teeth, which, next to her eyes,
make the especial beauty of her face.’
This, odve-tinted, is set in a haze of
fleecy brown hair, above which, on re
ception day, waved a rose pink pom
pon.” Take the chromo.

There is a better feeling in securities this
week, yet we have no important transac
tions to note as there is but little money
seeking investment at present. This can
not be on account of a scarcity of money as
our banks and brokers appear to be plenti
fully supplied with funds, but it is probably
attributable to the remarkable shrinkage
in values of many securities, not only in
this section, but throughout the country,
which causes a loss of conlidouce in them.
Our banks are prepared to make loans on
short time on good paper or collaterals at
the usual rate. All nave a sufficiency to
meet tho demand now existing, which is
not large. The sales of cotton continue
large which brings a large amount of funds
to our market.

AGENTS WANTED
Every Family to be Canvassed.
II r E want local Agents everywhere, ana
v t one General Agent in each State, foi
The Olxristian Ae,
a weekly Journal of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectioual, unsectarian, a record
of Cnristian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families throughout the chhuti'y just,
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D‘ 1).,
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation inasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, we shall puolish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture by Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinorent parts ol
tiie land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repro
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in all parts of the world, and in ail
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want only active Agents, thdtee who
will do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
and give the territory desired and called
for, so far asAve can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Kemstered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
< Irders. Drafts or Orders should be made
payable to the “Christian Age.” Port,
