and stated that this snbjeot would be laid
before the reads* of the Jan}tt*tn4ftin
in a more detailed shape in my next oor-
respondeaee. A matter of aaore itqmtdi-
ato importance engages, however, my at
tention today, and I have to postpone the
faiweer subject for a aaore fitting occasion.
I have reference to Die

and the entirely inadequate protection af
forded by Kellogg’s partisan polio* The
neeeesitj of the advise given to Geor
gians in ray last letter, to be well on their

from an editorial article which I
deem of snffloiant importenoe for trans
ferring it from one of our daily papers to
the eotnaaas of this journal, notwith
standing that I will be put to the trouble
of translating it from German into Eng
lish. I have to prefaisa.tbe translation by
some remarks eoooamiag the political
states of the papsrdhat published the ar
ticle, and the extent of its influenoe. The
New Orleans Germwit Gazette has, for a
paper published in the South, a large eir-
oulation, and exerts considerable influ
ence, there being in New Orleans alone
fully six thousand German voters, and
about one-third of the real estate In this
city being oynad by .Osmans, who thus
oanstitute, numerically as well as mor
ally, a respeotable olasa of tax payers. In
the oampaign of li79 the German Ga-
tite, eontrary to the wishes and Inclina-
tiqna of a majority of its readers, es
poused the cause of KMlfgg end hoisted
the name of this Illlnole adventurer at
the head of its sdAostnl columns, for rca-
sdaa which, I presume, are beet known to
the proprietor of that paper. When Kel
logg, through the instrumentality of Du-
roll's notorious midnight order, wss en
abled to usurp the Executive office, the
German Gaeette, in strong terms of justi-
flrotian, spplaudad this infamous coup
d’etat, and has ever since boon a Strong
supporter of the Kellogg usurpation. In
return, l(r. Haasinger, the proprietor of
the paper, has been appointed'to irtme-
edre office, with an annual salary of six
thoussnd dollars. These arc facts wall
known bare. Imagine, therefore, the
eafpriee of the readers of the German

tint Was made regarding the admin-
of oriminel justioe Tn New Or-
ch complaint was not called forth
aavarlty on the part of juries snd
* quite on the contrary, by the
nd mildness thay manifested

i strtete of our city arc overrun
tundreda of murderers, burglars, and
eriminala, who have been aoquitted
through bribery of juriea, or ea-
puaishmant iu oouaequeuoe of nu-
e technical tricks, or when con-
wers pardoned out of the peniten-
tbo Exeautive after they had
it is nof al all surprising that (hare should
be lond manifestations of righteous in
dignation, and that pnblio opinion should
be nnanimons in its ohndeauiation of this
clear abase of the pardoning power.
Simultaneously with this misapplied
Executive elemenoy a number of horror-
provoking murders were committed, as,
for iueteuce, the eseeminetlim of the un
fortunate Ur. Olacent and no night passed
without a doxeu or more of bold robberies
or burglaries by armed professionals. It
is not asserted that all these Crimea were
committed by -the* OeaeO miscreants who
just previously had. baau set free by order
of Governor Kellogg; still it ia but logi
cal and correct whan paopls assert that
these wholesale pardons emboldened the
companions end nooompltoes of the par
doned criminals, and sparred them on to
the orimrowUob now shook the commu
nity. Neither the police foroe or the
oourta, in feet not the Whole system ot
our Criminal justice, possesses any terror
for oar banditti, when with comparative
asauranoe they oan rely upon Executive
pardon, whioh will be grunted even in
cases where they are connoted of murder,
rape,’'Vdbbery, burglary, or arson, end
sentenced to the penitentiary tor iifs in
stead of to the gallows, which latter would
be the more deserved punishment.
What public opinion demands ie not
leniency, but unflinching severity mid
rigor- : Within the lest six. years the gal
lows has been cheated out of over two
dozen of culprits, whose crimes were of
snob magnitude that only death could
atone for them. Governor Kellogg knew
this, and this kaowledga of tbs sad state
of affaiis should by all means have in
duced him to refuse with determination
and firmness all applications for pardons
for convicted criminals, without too least
regard for those perrons who plead the
cause of these ntiaeraimts. It is no ex
cuse whatever for. , biro that his predeces
sor in offloe set the bad example in this
pardoning business. He onght to have
known better than to follow so bad a pre
cedent.
Governor Kellogg complains of the vio
lent attacks made upon him by tha New
Orleans, press on acoonnt of the indis
criminate issuing of pardons. He makes
an insertion—wbioh cannot bs styled
otherwise than ludicrous and childish—
that not more o'rimee have been commit
ted id 8 TCCbfrf ’parted than within the
same period of previous years. The read
ers of the daily papers, to whom the re
porters relate every morning averse many
crimes ag tinit life sod property, will dis
pense nr from the task of convincing Mr.
Kellogg of the absurdity of his assertion
somewhat larger dimensions, for the at
tainment of which end the oitiaens petrol
are proposed as the germ of some kind of
on inenrreetory army.
This scheme, as we laid, it ridionlout,
and will And bat few supporters. Gov.
Kellogg, however, makes e grant mistake
when he thinks that he oan prohibit the
oitiaens to openly arm themselves, to pa
trol the streets in the vicinity of their res
idences as long is they think proper to do
■o.
, such <
by.giving a detailed statement of all the
murders, burglaries, cues of arson, and
other crimes committed in New Orleans
for the last three months.
lint Governor Kellogg exposes another
and still greater weakness when be de
clares that he dispensed certain convicts
from serving the balanoe of their penal
term “in order thtt they might be re
stored to their eivil rights.” Really, we
Are at a loss what more to “admire” in
this unblushing declaration—its cynical
boldness, or its silly stupidity!
Article 99 of the constitution bf the
State of Louisiana provides: “Thefol
lowing persons shall be prohibited from
toting and holding any office: All persons
who wall have been oonviotfd of treason,
perjury, forgery, bribery, or other orimo
punishable in the penitentiary, and per
sons under interdiction."
Whoevor has served a term in the peni
teuliary has forfeited his oivil and politi
cal rights, snd osn be reinstated in them
enly by special sot qf the Legislature.
The intention of the law-maker in this in
stance is obvionB, namely, to make eon-
vioto politically infamous, and to plaoe
them a step lower on the Social ladder
than their whilom fallaw-aitisena.
Bat what does Governor Kellogg ? He
gives convicts ■ full pardon before they
have served oat thair term. Such a par
don wipes out everything—the crime as
well as the penalty whioh was to degrade
tbs criminal—and with one scratoh of the
e sn the conviot is reinstated in all his po-
tioal rights, just as if no erime had been
committed, and no degradation had fol-
lowed the oonviotion.
Does Gov. Kellogg not feel that by thia
open confession-he arouses suspleien that
he used his pardoning power for the pur
pose of winning adherents and obtaining
votes? And iin’t the '•Hole machinery o ’
elections sufficiently rotten, oorrupt, and
downright filthy that it has beoome ne
cessary to introduce elements degraded by
virtue of the law, smf declared unworthy
Of retaining the political rights, and exer
cising the duties of citizens ? Gov. Kel
logg admits thsf be has reinstated “quite
a number” of.auou tcoundrels in their po
litionl rights—a disgraceful confession, in.
deed, which caunot be too strongly atlg
matized.
The Oovernor makes another bold as
sertion—that bis poboe is auffloiant and
cannot be challenged <n regard to efficien
cy. One soircely knows whether te Isngh
at such uu nsHerlion, or to grow angry
over it. Bight under the nose of his po
lice murderers, burglars and thieves bold
ly piy their avooatlo* and throe fourth!
of alt the crimet committed do not come to
the kn wledgeoj flu police, or are huehed
up by this name police. A police force
whicn permits that gambling hetts and
other abominable iustitntions are kept op
in the principal streets of the city and
leaves them nnmolested, surely doets not
deserve the encomiums showered upon it
by its highest chief,
This brings us to the close of the lame
reply of the Governor to the attacks of
the city press. Mr. Kellogg has the an-
daoity to threaten with various mysterious
and terrible penalties every one who
should dare to assist in organising vigi
lance committees. The German Gazette
took the load in this matter ot vigilanoe
committees. But what we mean in regard
to the formation of suoh protective bodies
is not what some of the other eitj papers
noes as long os they tl
and generally to take
suoh measures of
a short term. It is owing to appear to comprehend regarding the same
in tbs administration and
i of oriminel justice that not
t withia tha past few months, but for
of years, innumerable cold-
anrdtrsand other crimes have
i oommittod ia New Orleans with im-
1 harsh**** When, therefore,

murderers, hnrglsrs, and other crimi-
*» *bo had bow sentenced to the peni-
f either for life or fora number 01
i»d beau pardoned by Oovernor
[ »nd again let looee upon society,
matter. The ridiculous proposition to
arm a dozen or so of ateepy-headed old
fogies with gnns and to let them patrol
every night the streets of their several
words to soars off the robbers, may be
treated as a good joke, though we are in
clined to believe that the originators of
this bright idea intended to subserve some
secret political purposes. Maybe that the
party which lost year organized the vari
ous MoEnery Azalea, is not at all disin
clined to imitate Mr. Brooks of Arkansas,
and to inaugurate this year a revolution of
self-pro testlpn as they may deem
ry in the absence of polios protection, so
as to guard themselves and their families
•gainst the sneroeahmenteof the bandits.
The threats of the Governor are in bed
teete and unjust; and, furthermore, he
time exhibite e sense of fear of which he
might dispense himeelf, end givee curren
cy to the belief among the public that ha
permitted himself to get alarmed by the
threats of the Bulletin.
We eea assure Gov. Kellogg that should
the contemplated vigilanoe oommittees see
proper to oarry their intention! into effect,
neither he nor hie polioe ean prevent it 1
Thoee vigilanoe committees, whioh tee
have in mind, are not organised in mass
meetings, nor do they exhibit their shoot
ing-irons at night in the streets, and let
their “tramp, tramp” be heard for miles.
Those vigilanoe oommittees, which tee
have in mind, do sentence and execute all
of aeudden—at one fell swoop I They
punish orimaa already committed without
personal considerations, because this will
be the most efficient manner of pretent
ing crimes whioh otherwise might bo oom
mittod I We still entertain the hope that
this lest extremity will not have to bo re
sorted to. The peaceful oitiaens will welt
end see whether the energy and the rigor
exhibited of late by tha judge and the ju
rors in the Superior Criminal Court will
also be shown in oapital oases punishable
by death; end the peaoeful end orderly
citixens will further wait and see whether
Gov. Kellogg in the first on# of inch in
stances willaar* to snetoh by bis pardon
ing power from the gallows the halter’s
jnst dues. All thia will be quietly awaited,
end action will 4m taken accordingly—end
the execution of whatever determination
may be arrived at no Kellogg, with ell his
militia and police, will be able to frus
trate, even should he plant cannon at ev
ery street oomer.
TBS VtOIUSCB 00UH1TTBE
spoken of in Ike German Gazette't edito
rial, is now being quietly organised. As
far as I oan learn, it will consist of on#
hundred and fifty members, ten from each
word of the city, determined, courageous
men, who will make short work with the
criminals who hake escaped punishment
through the negligence or culpability of
Kellogg’s polios, or who have by Kellogg
been pardoned out of the penitentiary, to
beeonverted into tools for political knave
ry. Those who, aa office holders, have as
sisted in plundering tha people, are to be
included iu the number of the “spotted"
criminals, end will be made to leevo the
oity, or run the risk of adorning some
lamp-poet. It seems as if Kellogg himself
fears he is spotted by this oommittee, of
whoso formation ho is, no doubt, inform
ed; for s detail of policemen is stationed
every night in and around his residence
on Canal street, and he never ventures
out without being accompanied by two or
more polios offloera in citizens’ dress. For
bearance has, indeed, oeased to ba a vir
tue, and the citizens cannot ba blamed
should they take tha law in their own
hands—a proceeding which, in the lan
guage of the German Gazette, “no Kel-
logg, with all hia militia and polios, will
be able to frustrate, even shonld he plant
oannon at every street corner."
TBS SPLIT IS THE DOIOSAMT PASTY,
to which I alluded in my previous letter,
is rapidly aasnming the dimenaioas of a
serious breech. Pinohbaok, who has a
large following of colored voters, has tak
en the offensive, and in tha last number
of hia organ, The Louieianian, ha eomas
out strongly against what may ba styled
the oarpet-bsg element of the Bedioal par.
ty. Ha feels aggrieved that—
“The New Orleans Republican, the of
ficial journal—edited and controlled eiolm
lively by white Bepublicans—sometime
since, and. again very recently, without
cause, suggested that Governor Ptaoh-
baok abandon his claims as Senator elect
in order to secure, what that paper
pleased to call. Republican harmony;
whioh language legitimately oonstrued
means that tha Governor is to waive his
Senatorial rights in favor of toms one of
tho thrifty class of white Bepublioans who
constitute about one-twentieth of tho Re
publican voters of the State, or some plas
tic, easily managed, oolored man, who
eonld be need by the white men who ere
attempting to run our party. The ‘Timee,'
formerly bitter Democrat but now reputed
to be under Bepnbiican management and
the. ‘Picayune, 1 representing the 'oldest
and best,’ end anti-Bepubliosn heretofore,
fruitful in all discourtesies and nnckarita-
bleneas towards the colored race, but now
abating its assaults upon Governor Kel
logg and giving the State Government a
quasi mild support, have both harmonised
with the Republican, on the Senstorisl
question, and conspired to further the sug
gestion mode by the official journal, in
that they have persistently vilified Gov.
Pinchbeck, snd attempted to instigate, by
insinuation and misrepresentation, rival
ries and distrust among the colored race
toward him.”
Then, addressing the oolored voters, he
throws down the gauntlet to the white ad-
ventnrors of the Kellogg stripe in this un
disguised fashion:
“The difficulties under which onr (tha
colored) race assumed the duties of oitisen-
ship were well calculated to inspire timid
ity iu them and to produce modesty in their
demands. We have ocnsequently hereto
fore oheerfully accepted—and somotimsa
toour dteyraceand injury—the beat white
leadership we oonld obtain; and have
seen, without murmuring, the small body
ot white been who have acted with as, ap
propriate the larger proportion of the po
sitions of profit and honor. Ws have con
stituted the rank and fits of the army, and
boms tbs brunt of battle, while they have
baau tha offloera. Our growth has beau
evidenced in an intelligence that has en
abled ue to do our own thinking on the
polittoei ieaaes that at set us; and pro
gress has baau further shown, in that we
are oompatont not only to furnish our own
leadership, in a. fair proportion, from our
people, hut determined to demand it Un
der these circumstances and with these
oanviotIona, tha oolored oitixeaa of Lou
isiana, through their representatives, se
lected Governor Plaohbaek, a representa
tive oolored men of hia State, as one of tho
United States Senator* He was selected,
not only beoeoee oompetent and true to
prinoipl* and because hia ooostttosnte
wars a majority of the people of the State,
but specially on the ground that his sym
pathies, knowledge and oepaoitim eoablsd
him, bast of all our leaden, to represent
ua In the United States Senate. It re
mains to bo seen whether the men who
oonld not in opes, manly fight oonquar
him and thwart onr will, shall by indiraa-
Hon and sinuous, dastardly assaults, de
feat both him and us. This light hat loet
Ue inditidual character, and becomes note
an intidioui tear upon the colored race in
this State, and if it suoeeed, Gov. Ptaeh-
baek will nut only bo aaorifiood, but with
him your selected leader fails. Aa tha
general may not die in battle wlthontdaa-
ger to his army, and may not be forsaken
to hie foes by them without shame, so yon,
oolored men of Louisiana, are obliged not
only in honor, by the fidelity you owe
your chosen leader, but in wisdom for tho
preservation of your owo rights and lib
erties, to take charge of this oonteat, and
show those enemies of your raoe, no less
than of your chosen representatives, that
they (hall not direotly or iadiraotly, se
cretly or openly, thwart yoor will or out
rage your right*”
Pinohbaek is as unacrnpnloui as ha is
ambitious, and ha will rather saorifioa tha
party organisation, of whioh b* is on* of
tho Isadora, than abandon what ha is
pleased to ooniidsr his right* With tha
diaoordant elements of the Bedioal party
on one hand, and the disorganised con
servative elements on tha other hand, tha
result of
TBS BU0T10B BBXT MOVEKBES
ia hard to guess at. If the white element
remains firm, and takas time by the fore
lock by effecting a thorough organiza
tion, it will win tbs day, and we will at
least have a good Legislature and good
representativminthe National Oongrem—
provided Kellogg and his tools are closely
watched when the votes are counted and
oenvasaed. Bat hers U the greatest dan
ger ; for Kellogg oannot ba trusted, and
it will be more than difficult prevail ting
him from manipulating sleotion returns
iu hia own interest. The redemption of
Louisiana from his dutch** calls for more
summary proceedings. The white people
of Louisiana have boon passive too long.
When will they aroure, take heart, and
