WHITE RADICALS DISGUSTED. Colored People Opening Their Eyes to the Infamous Frauds that have bees Practiced Upon Them by the Carpet-Baggers and Scalawags. Notwithstanding flic extremes of enn temptnbility to which some men with white skins of Southern birth, have permitted themsclvos to drift; and notwithstanding the many hitter pills uud nnuciouß draughts they have gulped down, Social Equality is too nauseous, too repulsive, to nil except • fow.

God knows we had liojied that they would be white meu once again, and wash out, by a life of eonsistnucy, tho stain they lmd brought npou their family name; hut we have ditqmircd. Ho deep and base, are their apostuoy, that we do not behove there is at neiug blood enough to purify their filthy hearth. Those men have set nt de fiance the decrees of omnipotence, there fore we think it sacralige to plead for their ]H>rdon, or even liojmi for tlieir salvation.

Radical s bond for titlo, which clearly stated that a failure to make the payments promptly lie, the Radical ven dor, lmd the right to take possession and dispose of it as he pleased, and the Radi uul scoundrel had assured him tliut this he would do. This kind hearted Democrat saw the injustice that was likely to be done to the negro whom he had never before seen, and who had already paid two hun dred dollars, called upon the Scalawag and asked him to give the black man time, hut the Scalawag assured him Unit ho lind a right by contract to tako the land hack with all the improvements the negro had made and keep the two hundred dollars of his linrd earned money, which lie would do if the money wasn’t paid that day. This kind hearted Democrat walked hack to his safe, took out the fifty dollars and paid it to the Scalawag, and had the titles made to the black man, and gavo him time to pay it, which lie did, thereby sc ouring to tiie black man a home for him self, his wife and children.

Now, we appeal to the colored people to ask Oolesby if this is not truo. And, I now ask the colored people to decide who was the black man's friend. We furthor appeal to the black people to show us one instance in which Wade or Griffin has ever aided you with one dollar. Have they ever given you anything hut promises ? Aud have they ever complied with a single one ? Black men, will you vote with such men as Cummings, Wade and Griffin, who never helped you, or with the Democrats that makes no promises, but meet your wants with assistance ? Now, black men, remember tlint last fall three stalwart, blood-thirsty men of your rare attacked a lone white woman without any cause or provocation, aud with no other purpose but to rob her of her money, beat her with clubs until she was felled to the floor insensible, and loft by them as dead. This woman was tho sister-in-law of tho man who saved tho home of one of your race from the vile clutches of the ltadieal Cummings.

Here tho Democrats when youaroubout to be robbed of your property under a pro tended legal right, advances inouey to assist you, and w hen you are arraigned in the courts, charged with crime, a Demo cratic lawyer appears in your defense.— Now, the question is will you vote with such men as Cummings, Wadennd Griffin, who do not only refuse to assist you, but oppresses yon every opportunity they have ? Or will you vote with such men ns assist you to pay for your homes, and when iu trouble defend you iu the courts of justice?

No man can study the fuels uml recall the history of the last few years without admitting that if ever any people had good reasonfur £his last dread resort,' it la tile people of. Loiys iann. If insnrreetibh can (>b 'justified un der any circumstances whatsoever, it is' right and just in their, ease. No body of men ever had a greater provocation or a more perfect cause for such action; and. never, from the beginning of ojyjlizaUon to this day, was Ally Coumicnwealth shir- j jocted to wrong and outrage by a more' contemptible oof of miscreants tlmuAheMe laud-pirates iu Louisiana. But for the brutal, law-defying assistance- -of Grant's soldiery, those wretches could never have got iuto power; and their victims, seeing themselves despoiled not only of "their possessions—the best property iu New Or leans wilt not rent for enough to' puV; the taxes—but of every political right iWjd,pci- sonal chance of good, and having nothing more to lose, except life itsyslf, *niny well choose to perish iu a- last sharp contest rutlicr than to struggleou in tlieir misery and despair which tlieir -oppkeMdn atone offer them. * * Much is the result of j nine years of reconstruction and six years of Giantism, This is the sort of peace I which the country receives from a military president, who annuls ’a popular election and overthrows a Shite government’ in or der to take tho electoral votes of the State for himself, while he maintains his broth er-in-law iu power to plunder, and assures to an incomparable gang of robbers the prolonged opportunity of unlimited booty. Ami yet there aro those who still prate about moral ideas in the Grant party, nud who fondly imagine- that tile Aiiioriean people will suffer such a state of things to bo indefinitely continued. [The N. Y. Tribune.] That there has never been a day for two years when the' Kellogg ,admin istrtftjoii could sustain itself without the help of the federal army wo have all known; but none of us nt the North were aware liow empty and unsnbatial this fabric of naili;ped. pow er really was until yesterday. Olio faint demonstration against the barricades ex hausted it. The revolt lifted its head at sunset, and in the morning the government of Mr. William Pitt Kellogg had utterly vanished. Mr. Kellogg had just enough strength to call upon ' Attorney General Williams for “more troops,” and with this characteristic and familiar cry ho went into ignoble retirement. It is just ns wo would have it There is a stern poetic justice iu the com plication of events which throws upon the power that first thrust him into the Governorship the odious task of putting him back there again after the people had expelled him. General Grant must now carry his crime against Louisi ana to it* logical consequence. Ho upheld the usurper; he will now use the nriiy of the United States to dispossess the govern ment which ho knows to be the legiti mute ono. We wish him joy of his occupation. [Philadelphia Telegraph, Radical.] There is something more in this present difficulty than a white man’s piirty move ment: and a true spirit of statesmanship, whether in the White House or among tho people of the country, cannot fail to recog nize the fact that the men who are now under arms at New Orleans for the purpose of forcing the abdication of Kellogg nave suffered wrongs which they would be un worthy the name of America!! citizens did they not resent.. Hud such n game as that which Kellogg has played in Louisiana been attempted in tbisor any other North- j cm State, there would havo lieen an ap peal to arms long ago; and iu judging of the conduct of the New Orleans insurrec liotfists oaf people.should consider for a few moments how they would like it them selves to be dominated over two years by a gang of rnffiuns, and then be threatened with disfranchisement because there was u prospect of sn appeal to the ballot-box at a reasonably honestly conducted elec tion would result in the usurpers being driven from power and perhaps brought to punishment. [Chicago Tribune.] Had this Kellogg usurpation been at tempted in Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan, it would not have been tolerated one day by tho people of either State; nor could ail the army aud navy of the United States havo induced or compelled them to sub mit to such an ntrociohs despotism* Aind fraud. Wlmt has taken place in Louisiana twenty months after the crime wns first committed would have taken place liereou the instant and no Federal troops nor Ex ecutive proclamations would have been interposed or could havo availed to restrain tho outraged people from hurling the usurpers from their places. [N. Y. Herald.) Wliftt kind of a government !s flint which needs an army to protect it from tho wrath of tho people it misrules ? It is here, we think, that the higher duty of the President begins. He bus carried out tho strict letter of the law by replacing Kellogg; now let him net in the spirit of tho constitution, which guarantees a ‘'re publican form of government” to every State, and use the immense moral intlu. ence of his office to obtuin an honest elec tion of anew governor by tho people. Not by tho terror of bayonets, but only by measures of justice, enu Louisiana be restored to her truo place. Tho President cannot ignore these facts. The Republican party cannot live unless it adopts a nobler policy toward the South; nor can the North lw< true to tho Union while such crimes us that of the Kellogg government aro clothed with tho sacred ness of the national constitution. With us alone rest the responsibility. We con quered thu South; wo accepted the bur dens of conquerors; we destroyed its ar mies; wo exhausted its wealth and its resources, we annihilated its credit; we paralyzed its social system, we crannci . pitted the slaves, and in doing so tiirew its l-ieh dominant governing class into poverty. In doing this wo virtually imposed upon the Southern people a war fine infinitely greater ■ than that imposed upon Franco by Germany. We imposed ruin upon tho-Soutbern States in a spirit of brotherly love, and, not satisfied with this- -which might have been re garded as the unavoidable results of a war wantonly begun by the Smith—we stimu lated and recognized a system of govern ment which not only has brought scandal upon the American nnine, lint threatens a St. Domingo war of races and the adop tion by many States of- the policy of re pudiation. There is only one way to treat this question, and that is the right way. Let the administration be just toward Louisa-! mf. The revolution lisS ended in a ma jestic protest against acknowledged wrqug. Let ns accept the protest by removing the wrong. For the present wo can do justice to this State, and iu tho fu ture we can enter upon the consideration of those grave problems resulting from the war, which bear fruit in Louisiana, as to-morrow they may hear fruit in Wis consin and California—problems of recon struction, labor, race and finance —by a national convention of peace and recon struction. Louisiana is a swift aud tcr riblo argument in favofbt such a conven tion. CIVIL RIGHTS BILL - DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA. This was an action brortght by a negro to recover damages from* Railroad for re fusing to permit hfm to ru\e in near, es pecially assigned to trbittiti This caao is referod to in 2nd Am. Latw Ilev.: ; “Tho right to separatfe being clear in proper cases, and it being the subject of sound regulation, the question remaining to bo Considered is, whether there iH such a difference between tho w hite and black races within this State, resulting from na tnrO, law and custom, asihakeAit a reason able gronud of separation. Tho question is one of difference, not of superiority or in feriority. Why the CreaW'made one black and the other white wo do not know, but the fact is apparent and the races arc dis tinct, each producing its own kind and following the peculiar law of its constitu tion. Goncediug equality, with natures ns per fect and rights as sacred, yet God has made them dissimilar, with those natural feelings and instinct which He always impart to His creatures when He iutemls that they shall not overstep the natural boundaries ho has assigned them. The natural law which forbids their intermarriage and that social amalgamation which leads to a cor ruption of races is as clearly divine as that which imparted to thorn different natures. The tendency of intimate social inter mixture is to amalgamation, contrary to the law of races. Tho separation of the white and black races upon the surface of tho globe is a fact equally apparent. Why this is so it is not necessary to spec ulate; but the fact of a disruption of men by. nice and color is as visible in the provi dential arrangement of the earth as that of heat Unit cold; The natural separation of the races is, therefore, an undeniable fact, and nil social organizations which lead to their amalgamation arc repugnant to the law of nature. From social amalgamation, it is but a step to illicit intercourse, and but another to intermarriage. But to assort sopnr' stcncss is not to declare inferiority in either, it is not to declare one a slave and the other a freeman; that would bo to draw the illogical sequence of inferiority from difference only. It is simply to say that, following the order of Divine Frov idence, human authority ought not to compel these widely separate races to in termix. The right of each to be free from social contact is as clear as to be frt-e from intermarriage. The former may be j less repulsive as a condition, but not lees entitled to protection ns a right. When, therefore, we declare a right to maintain separate relations as far ns reasonably practicable, but in a spirit of kindness and charity, ami with due repaid to equal ity of rights, it is not prejudice, nor taste, nor injustice of any kind, hut simply to suffer men to follow the law of races es tablished by the Creator himself, and not compel them to intermix contrary to their instincts. ” —■ flVoin the Now York Dy Book,] GRANT AIDS THE THIEVES. Five Days’ Notice to Turbulent and Dis orderly Persons to Disperse. Washington, Sept. 15.—Tho President having received from Gov.

C. WADE, UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER AND ASSISTANTREVE. NUE COLLECTOR. IN THE POST- OFFICE ON FRIDA Y, THE 18 th INST., MANIPULATING THE PACKAGES OF G ALLAH Eli'S INDEPENDENT, SEALED AND DIRECTED TO AN OTHER OFFICE. On Friday of last week, after our packages of papers were completely folded with paper wrappers well pasted, E. 0. Wade, United States Commissioner and assistant Revenue collector, manipulated onr packages sent to Moultrie, in Colquitt county.— liow many lio put back iu the paper covering, we are unable to say ; but can assert that he could not replace them in the same paper. Whether ho sent all, or any, we have not learned; but understand he says he opened them to get a list of the names.— By what authority, we enquire, does he open packages put in this office, directed to another office ? Wo have a perfect right to put our packages in the oflieo, directed to onr subscribers to any Post-Office in the United States, and if not taken out there, it is the dnty of the Post-Master, to whose office they are directed, to notify us of the fact, and the Department furnishes blanks for that purpose. When the numerous complaints reach us from our subscribers, we have heretofore boon inclined to attrib ute tho wrong to Post-Masters at the office where sent; but, now, the manipulator has lioen caught in the act of opening the packages, and the only excuse he could render was that ho didn't believe the Murphrys’, iu Colquitt county, would take a Democratic paper. How did ho know Murphrys’ names were in the packages until he opened them ? And if lie did know it, wliat right had he to decide that the Murphrys’ were not subscribers ? If it was any part of his official business to know to whom "we were sending papers, he could have called at this office, anil wc would have takeu pleasure in showing him our list containing the Murphry names and who subscribed for them. But the right way and correct principles seem to lie exceedingly obnoxious to onr Radical Commissioner. Perhaps, he is fishing up a prosecution with tho hope of get ting tip another bill of costs. We, now, notify Mr. E. C. Wade, the mail manipula tor, that we have no acquaintance with any of the Murphrys’, nor any one of the nine ty seven men we are sending the paper to nt Moultrie and McDonald Post-offices, which he has so carefully collated from the packages which he broke open, and fur ther, we have had no communications from any of them ou the subject of sending the IrniEFKN-DENT to them. And, now, if Mr. E. C. Wade thinks it is a good ease for a bill of costs he can just appear before his own august personage and swear bv himself or before a looking glass, and by himself issue a warrant and send Marshal' Samuel, the Post-Master, around and we will readily appear before his satrapical majesty and notify him, as we do now, that he can’t blackmail ns out of one cent. We do not know whether E. C. Wade is Deputy Post-Master or not, but we do as sort, upon reliable authority, that lie manipulated the mail packages sent from this office and directed to Moultrie, and we believe it to be a gross violation of the postal laws, for which, under an honest Democratic Administration, he would be punished with great severity. But with the present thieving Administration, he knows that his license is unlimited, and that if Indicted for robbing the mail, and his guilt establish ed beyond a doubt, that the corrupt juries would acquit him, and the still more c.or nip‘ Ydministrahoii would, for his fealty to party principles, give him a still higher position. matii in : Whereat, It lias lieen satisfactorily rep i resented to mo that turbnleut aud disor | derly persons have combined together, i with force and arms, to overthrow the State Government of Louisiana, and to re ' sist the laws and constituted authorities of I said State; and Whereat, It is provided in tho Constitu | tion of tlic United States that tho United i States shall protect every State in the Union on application of the Lgislatnre, or tho Executive when the Legislature cannot be convened, against domestic violence ; and Whereat, It is provided in the laws of the United States that in all cases of insur rection iu uny State or of obstruction to tho laws thereof, it shall be lawful for the President of tho United States, on appli cation of the Legislature of such State, or of the Executive when the Legislature can not be convened, to call for the militin of any State or States, or to employ such part of the land and naval forces as shall be judged necessary for tho purpose of suppressing such insurrection or causing the laws to lie duly executed; and It tx, The Legislature of said Slate is not now in session, and cannot bo con vened in time to meet the present enter-1 genry, and tho Executive of said Stab 1 , ! under section 4 of article 4 of the Consti tution of the United States, and the laws I pooled in pursuance thereof, lias therefore I made application to me for such part of l the military foreo of tho United States as ! may he ueeessury and adequate to protect said State anil the citizens thereof against domestic violence, and to enforce the due execution of the laws; and HAerstw, It is required that whenever it j may Ist necessary, iu the judgment of the ! President, to use the military for the pur- j jaxso aforesaid, he shall forthwith by proc lamation command such insurgents to dis-; | perse and retire peaceably to their respec tive homes within a limited time; , Now, therefore I, U. ‘S. Of lit. Presi dent of tho United States, do beret f make proclamation a fid command said tmbulent and disorderly persoDs to disperse and re tire peaceably to their respective abodes i within five days from this date, and here after to submit themsClVes to the laws ami constituted authorise* of said State, and I : invoke the aid and co operation of nil good Citizens thereof to uphold the law and pre | serve the public j>cnee.

Done at the city of Washington this lotli day of September, in the year of our Lord i874, and of the independence of tho United States the. ninety-eighth. U. S. Grant. By the President: Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. TUB PRESIDENT'S POSITION. After signing the proclamation, which in almost an exact copy of one previously is sued concerning events in Louisiana, the President himself wrote two military or dew addressed to the commanders, saying in effect that they mnst protect life and preserve the peace to the best of their ability. All orders to be issued by them must previously be submitted to the prnp er military authorities here for approval, Troops will be sent t<> New Orleans in such numbers as may lie required, as the Presi dent is determined to save life and pre serve the peace. The President in conversation to-day ex - pressed his surprise at the conduct of the j opponents of the Kellogg Government ]in resorting to arms to maintain their ; political position; in other words, inaugu rating s civil war. He had to many citi zens of Louisiana expressed a kimllv dis i position toward the people, and hoped for ! better tilings, but it seemed they had misjudged if they thought a resort to violence on their jxirt would pass by un noticed by the Government. In this con nection he incidentally remarked that prompt moasnres would suppress further 1 disturbances, and a similar course would j have saved the country from the late re bellion. COMMUNICATION WITH KCLLOfia CUT OPE. Tlie authorities have heard nothing , from Kellogg since morning. The sup position is that the rebels hold that part of the city where the telegraph office is. It cannot be ascertained by the Attorney- General whether tho story is true, sent by the Associated Press, that Kellogg. Packard and others have taken refuge in the Custom House. Everything hero awaits corre ct information ns to the situa tion, though tiie disposition of the troops will at once Ire made to provide against any emergency. Gen. Emory, in a despatch dated yes terday, addressed to Gen. McDowell nud sent to the War Department, says he lias Dot troops enough to maintain himself if a conflict should unfortunately occur be tween the troops and insurgents; aud further, that the mere pnwence of troops has lost its moral effect in preventing or suppressing disturbances. During the troubles in Ixrnisiann. the Attorney -General bos been receiving fro- • qnent dispatches from Marshal Packard, until about 10 o’clock this momiug, when they ceased, which fact led the'Attorney- General to suppose ttmt sll further dis patches were interrupted by the Peon faction. To teat the fact he sent a dis patch to Packard about 1 p m. to-day, re questing an immediate RDswer, but had received none np to four o’clock, the boor at which be left the office.
