The Bee OF yesterday has an article upon
the assassination of Colonel Pope and
Judge Chase. 1t appears to have been
written to vindicate the people of st.
Mary from the charge of intolerance and
brutality. They seem to imply that some
body has made or will make the accuse
ton.
The Bee thinks with the good people of
St. Mary chat there are indications that
the assassins were strangers" Rather a
pretty theory, but somewhat frivolous.
Aside from the fact that eight citizens of
the parish have already been charged
under oath with the crime by one who was
there at its commission, there is every
reason for supposing that it was the
political opinions and affiliations of Sheriff
Pope and Judge Chase that invited the
vengeance Of the people of St. Mary.
Colonel Pope was not personally dis
liked he was quiet, unassuming gentle
man. Judge Chase was an old citizen, of
very respectable connections. They were
simply held to be infamous for being Re-
publicans and ofice-holders under that
party. They were murdered by the men
of st. Mary who desired to rid their parish
of carpet-baggers and scallawags.
1t transpires that the men who are ac-
cused of the assassination are among the
most prominent planters and professional
men in and about Franklin.

THE OOLoRED MEN,

The Democratic press and Democratic
speakers both here and in the North Civ,
the greater portion of their space and tim,
to depicting the bloodthirsiy character O.
the negro. They fabricate the most horrid
tales of outrages committed by him, and
thus seek to justify the massacre of his race.
That the history Of crime in these States
will show instances of darkest felony, of
most bloody outrage by black men and
women, there is no doubt. The same can
be said of any class, of any nationality.
But the charge that the colored men of the
Southern States are as race bloodthirsty
and brutal is false. Nine-tenths of the al
legged ofenses committed by them are pub
lished for political effect, without founda-
ton.
There are those in the South who ought
to be ashamed of this libel. ALI over these
ten States families were left unprotected
as the conscript officer carried away father
and son and brother in that fearful war
time. They know full well that the slave
whom they had bought away from his
children and whose wife they had sold to
another, took no advantage of this oppor-
tunity of vengeance. But trusting in God
they went on working to feed the wife and
daughter of him who was fighting to rivet
his manacles forever. Thus waiting in
patience for freedom, he deserved it when
1t came. 1t was not cowardice. Instances
are multiplied where negroes risked their
own lives to assist the escape of Union
prisoners and refugees. And when the
opportunity offered they became soldiers
and fought for that flag that offered them
liberty.
And thus it is now. Though they have
been subjected to the most violent treat
ment murdered and robbed daily, they still
wait in patience the coming Of that power
whose might relieved them once. Their
oppressors publish TO the world charges of
violence and brutality against them. Time
raises the vail and we learn facts such as
surrounds the massaeres of July, of Ca
milla, 0pelousas, Of Bossier and of Octo-
Der in New Orleans.
A few years ago this black race was
held in Bondage by two or three hundred
thousand men who controlled the
land, and who still have the
influence to dictate public opinion to a
great extent IN their own States. They
grew to wealth and power through the
labor Of their slaves Their homes were
left unprotected, but The slave remained
faithful, and only took advantage Of an
opportunity Of freedom. To-day these |
gentlemen have let loose bloodthirsty and |
ruthless rabbleto murder the race to whom
they owe SO much, and without whose
labor their whole possessions are value
less. Shame Shame

ANOTHER VIOLATION OF LAW.

The Democracy are heapiug up their
sins against the law. Last night the City
Council. in open and direct violation Of
the provisions Of the Metropolitan Police
District ll,paassed an ordinance assuming
to remove Mr.. Weeks, the Superintendent
Of the Fire Alarm Telegraph. The motive
is obvious when we recollect the way by
which armed fremen were concentrated
on the day Of the massacre in 1866. Go
on, gentlemen, you are digging your own
graves.

GOVERNOR WARMOTH.

The papers of this city for the past two
days have made en- extraordinary effort to
misrepresent the position occupied by the
Executive of this State 10 his attempts to
suppress the prevailing violence and blood
shed.
Filled with Details Of these horrible
outrages, and admitting that certain dis
tricts in the city and the parish Of St.
Bernard were 10 the possession of
lawless mobs, they at the same
time and in the most violent and un-
seemly language have sought to bring
the authority of the Governor of the State
into contempt. Rumors of his abdication
and intended resignation have been rife,
and the whole Democratic press of this city
have freely circulated what they must have
known were falsehoods.
What the Governor really did is now be-
fore the public, and we appeal to every
thinking, observing man in this community
to confirm the statement that events, trans
piring at the time he wrote to
General Rousseau, justified him in
calling upon the military authorities of the
United States to assist the civil authorities
of this city, Jefferson and st. Bernard in
restoring the peace to these communities
by staying the red-handed mobs who had
gained such power as to defy them.
The Constitution vests the supreme ex-
ecutive power of the State in the Governor
and makes it bis duty to see that the laws
are obeyed, and the Constitution
of the United States authorizes him
to call upon the Federal Government
to protect the people of this State from
domestic violence. This is what he did on
last Monday in letter to General Rous-
seau, the text Of which will be found in
another column.
The Governor contemplates in this ap-
plication the use of the military power OF
the United States to aid the civil author
tiles in suppressing domestic violence and
executing civil law-nothing more; and
we think he would have been recreant |
to his trust had he not acted |
thus promptly in asking assistance
from the only reliable source. Congress
has prohibited the organization of militia
IN this State, thus depriving the Executive
of the customary means adopted by State
Governments to enforce its authority. But
for this prohibition there are men enough
in this State, trained upon the battle fields
of the late war, to organize themselves
into volunteer militia powerful enough
to suppress any partisan rebellion against
constituted authority.
Instead Of occupying himself in packing
State archives and making preparations
Tor personal safety, as the Times falsely
asserts, the Governor has during the bloody
scenes of the past two days manifested a
calm, courageous devotion to duty, and a
persistent effort to exhaust every means at
his disposal to suppress violence and blood
shed which must commend him to the ad-
niration of his friends and the peace
loving people of this city and State.

THE DEMOCRATIC SWORD.
Q. 5. GRANT.

The following is an extract from a cir
eular issued by the Democratic Contra
Committee of Louisiana:
ICircularf
And we would earnestly declare to our
sallow-citizens our opinion that even the
most implacable and ill-disposed of the
negro population, those who show the
worst spirit toward the white people, are
not half SO much deserving our aversion
and non-intercourse with them as the de-
based whites who encourage and aid them,
and who become through their votes the
Ofice-holding oppressors of the people.
Whatever of resentment you have should
be felt toward the latter and not against
the colored men, But in no case should
you permit this resentment to 90 farther
than to withdraw from them all coun-
tenance, association and patronage, and to
thwart every effort they may make to main
tain business and social foothold among
you. TH0S. L. MACON,

THE DEMOCRATIC PEnn.

Our late exchanges bring us further
accounts Of an irrepressible conflict among
the leaders of the Democracy in New YorE
and Washington. The proposition Of the
World to trade Blair off was SO gladly re-
ceived by certain parties, they became SO
enthusiastic over the probabilities of the
political burial of one who has done Them
so much harm, that they will not down at
the bidding ofeven Brick Pomeroy. Mem
beers of the National Democratic Committee
are endeavoring to have a session called
with view to still making the change.
Fight it out, gentlemen, SO that YOU NAV
have some excuse for your defeat next
Tuesday.

At the suggestion of Messrs. Macon and
Ellison, of the Democratic Committees,
Governor Warmoth issued his procIama-
nation requesting the people to avoid as
sembliDg in public meetings and process
sions. Every Republican club respected it
and no demonstration has since been made.
How was it with the Democrats They
have paid no heed to it whatever. The
lnnocents .paraded the streets, many Of
them armed and carrying the para
phanalia Of Republican clubs, which they
had sacked. Nearly every Democratic
club in the city has since held its meeting.
and the K. w. Cs have detailed patrols.
who have marched armed through the
city night and day. II ls well TO record
these acts illustrative Of the good faith Of
the Democracy. +.

DEMOCRATIC SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

We commend the following little piece
of news to the consideration of the half
dozen or SO gentlemen in New Orleans who
train in the atorenamed class:
special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.l
WASHINGTON, October 22.-The Demo-
cratic Soldiers and Sailors organization
here is having further trouble. Last week
its President resigned and came out for
Grant, and now its Secretary has done the
same thing. The club will try hard to
hold quorum of its members, SO it can
have one more meeting.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-10-28

The Democratic press, in their efforts
to excite the mob to deeds of violence and
blood shed yesterday resorted to the bold
est Misrepresentation. 1t stated that Gov.
ernor Warmoth had tried to turn the State
Government over to General Rousseau,
and that he declined to receive it. That
there was a stampede of Republicans and
that confession was made that recon-
struction was failure. This effort seems
to have been made to stimulate the armed
mob to that point where general mas
sacre should take place of all those who
did not agree with them in political
opinion.
The responsibility of the bloodshed of
the last forty-eight hours rests upon the
Democratic party. They have been the
agressors everywhere. There has not
been disturbance in which they are not
to blame. 1t is useless to talk of the events
of the past few days as : rios, Tor it is
nothing but a.lned revolt against the
Government OF the State, finding its cause
in the deep seated animosity of the late re-
bells to the National Union, the colored
people and their friends.
