RADICAL DESPOTESM - ETIIOTT'S



We reprint this morning, from nm Of
fetal copy-for which We are indebted to
Hon. VIM. h, Campbell-the bill of Mr.
Elliott, Of Massachusetts so re- establish
civil government in Louisiana For the
purpose it IL intended to accomplish it is
admirably drawn, and contains, perhaps.
the perfection of civil government, ac-
eording to the Radical theory. It was
reported 10 the House on the lth read
twice, and on the 18th, after debate limited
to ftro hours, 1t was passed on its third
and last reading by more than two~
thirds vote, as now given
We know Of no essential principle Of
free government under our system. which
It does not yiolate-we know of no name
for the effect which it is designed to have
upon the people and political power Of
the State of Louisiana, except dspotism
Ii destroys the present legitimate govern
ment Of that Statc-an act which no
yower on earth has the legal and riEhttul
authority to perform. In this it is "a
slsurpation and anact of tyranny. Ii then
tets up a new State government in place
of that stricken out of existence, which
Is an arbitrary usurpation Of power never
conferred upon Congress, either by writ
ing OF by implication The principle and
essence and intent of this new govern
ment, thus foisted upon the State, is
fragrant despotism A Governor and
Legislative Council is appointed over the
people They are invested with supreme
political power in the State, aud with
power to Gil all appointments TO Office.
Bot in legislating their acts are subject
a negative by Congress In the organic
structure Of eur government such power
was never given to Congress, and its exer-
else, in every aspect is a bare-iaced
usurpation. To carry it cut the military
arm Of the country is introduced both as

SHARP TRICK

A laboring man, living in the vicinity OF
Huntsville, Alabama, and in the posses
sion of a nice bit Of property, was APP
preached by a person Of pleasing address,
who complimented him upon his energy
and ability, and said he needed Just such a
man TO 60 10 California with him and take
charge of his place there, at salary OF
$3.50 per month. The bait was too tempt
ing to be resisted, and in the course Of a
day or so, Mr.. - had sold his place for
about s., 600 and placed the proceeds in his
pocket, and accompanied his new found
employer 10 this city, where they arrived
on Wednesday morning, stopping at the
Crutchfeid House While at the hotel,
the gentleman from California paid all the
bills of his employee, and everything
seemed going on smoothly, until sometime
Wednesday evening, when Mr. --, ex-
aiming his pocket book, found that in
stead of his two thousand dollars. il con-
tanned only some worthless scraps of paper,
while has generous employer was nowhere
TO be found. The victim of a sharpers
trick remained in the city through yester-
day, making further attempts TO recover
has money, and fears that il is forever gone,
as he IS unable to give an accurate descrip-
ton OF the man who is supposed 10 have
taken Chattanooga Union.

an agent and supervisor II the military
commander thinks this eivil authority
fails to execute the laws, he is empowered
to make arrests and imprison indefinitely
the citizens Of the State. lie is to be the
sole Judge Of the rights and liberties of
the people This is yiolatiye of the ex-
press provision of the constitution and
laws of the Union
This state Of affairs is to be temporary.
In June there is to be n popular election
for Governor and other State officers. The
voters in this election are not TO be the
people Of Louisiana, for most of them are
expressly prohibited from approaching
the ballot-box Perhaps five thousand
white people viii be admitted to vote
not more-and the rest are to be negroes,
large proportion of whom cannot speak
the English language mtelligibly Then,
in October, they are to 60 through the
moekery of electing a State Convention,
by the same voters; which convention is
to frame a constitution, the outlines Of
which are prescribed by Congress, as a
law for its action Such fragrant and
atroeious invasion Of popular liberty was
never dreamed Of in this country prior
to this tfme, and never found an advocate
in any republican country that has ever
existed.
But it is useless to continue the exposi-
ton Of the enormities Of tyranny and
usurpation contained in this bill. They
are comprehensive and pervade every
line and sentence in it As a studied
effort to construct a measure, which
should leave nothing unproYided to de-
stroy the public liberty in the State to
which it applies, it is an entire success.
As originally presented, it provided for
the election of a delegate to Congress;
but even this was expunged at the instance
Of the Ostensible author of the bill-sO
that it should contain no trace or mark
Of pretended respect for popular rights.
As a special mark of Congressional cons
tempt for the Supreme Court and its au-
thOrity, the unconstitutional test-oath is
applied to officers and electors, registrars
and clerks alike and nothing is omitted
to impress it "a the emanation of tyran-
ny, and an act of unmixed despotism
Our information is that it will pass the
Senate HrW Jegetoed Jyhe President
If it shall pass Notwithstanding, the same
law will be speedily applied to the other
nine Southern States. The only thing that
will prevent, will be the want Of time by
the present Congress.
