The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1867-11-20

REsULrs.-The result of the late elections does not
affect the progress of reconstruction The programme
laid down by Congress will be followed up Conven-
tions will be called in most if not all the Southern
Territories constitutions framed and submitted to the
approval of the registered voters; members of Con-
gress will be elected; the Legislatures will choose
Senator's and the Union be chiefly restored before the
adjournment of the next session of Congress This
may be relied upon unless the President shall succeed
in delaying the work. Should it thus be DELAYED
there will still be chance for restoration before the
end of the fortieth Congress the 4th of March,
1869. In the meantime will occur the Presidential
campaign. The people have indicated by the late
elections that they will support Congress in fully
rying out this plan Of restoration The losses at the
late elections have been effected by other issues. In
California it was party corruption, aided by the
ure which it feared Congress would undertake.
That body had to believe that the people would
sustain anything might adopt. Itnow knows better,
and all further questions pertaining to reconstruction
are settled, and will not again trouble u.s. In Maine
was whisky; in Pennsy yvana it party corruption
in Philadelphia and in the State at large in Ohio it
negro suffrage and other that produced the
result The greatest losses in those States where
there were local issues of delicate nature. The
party is now fully relieved and the track is entirely
clear for consumnlatng the policy being carried
out Thus ia: and no farther the people have said
and thus far Congress has been sustained by the late
elections, and next year the majorities will be
wheming The people know that to break down
Congress to reopen the whole question: and give the
power over the negroes and the loyal whites of the
South to the late rebels This they are determined
shall not be done. Union men shall not be at the
mercy of those who so lately would destroy the Gov
ernment, and who would rob and murder those who
stood by the olG flag during the nations crisis. The
Southern territories reconstructed under the present
policy will insure protection to all classes and they
will stay reconstructed. Should any disturbances
occur after their civil governments shall have become
permanent it will be easy the military aid of
the Federal government because the Governors and
Legislatures will be loyal and they will make the con-
sttutcnal application for such assistance when it may
be necessary. We therefore regard the question of
reconstruction virtually settled

SENSATION LARGE PROPORTIONS special to
the ST. Louis Times, under date of Washington, Octo-
Der 81, says:
In my dispatch of last night gave the programme
of the negro Loyal Leaguers. To-day additional in
formation has been received which no longer leaves
the shadow of doubt that the Radicals are deter
mined to obtain possession of the Government no
matter what the cost may be. member of the Loyal
Leaguers of Richmond has made an expose of the
whole scheme and his antecedents are bevond re-
proach the utmost confidence be placed in his
statements. He says that Hunncutt, who is now the
Moses of the negroes of the South is the head and
front of the whole affair, and that he asserts he is
backed by the leading Radicals of the North, and the
whole Grand Army of the Republic.
The army of nsurrection will number at least 3OO-
600 men, fully equipped and armed and will be com
mandcd by of the best military leaders Of the
Federal army. With this force it is thought the ne
groes any measure they may deem desra-
bic, and if resistance is made they will at once seize
the capital and nominate dictator rule the country
Ben Wade is at present the man in view.
