9 The Family Quarrel.

Not the least diyerting part of the present
scare and perplexity Of the radicals, in view
of the fearfully onlinous roar of breakers
ahead, is the quarrel among the "leadersn as
to whose fault lis that the party finds itself
in the present unhappy fix" The Rochester
Union, Albany Journal, and host of the rad
ical leaders" have been pitching into Horace
Greeley as largely responsible in the premises
Horace comes back in his pungent way, and
we rather think has the best of it, as against
the leaders. 1t will be recoected that from
the commencement Greeley opposed the radi-
cal programme OF reconstruction, in its essen
tial feature of DISTINGUISHING and furnishing
the whites Of the South, and placing them
under negro domination. His plan was uni
versal amnesty and universal suffrage for the
South. "You rejected that plan" he tells the
radical leaders, and the result is, YOU have
turned all that region into a settling, trou,tous
catdron of anarchy and chaos, By reason Of tie
me" who rere drirem from tie suffrage. The
power which under our plan would have been
expressed in votes is now manifest, in endless
fever and unrest ~ II Se.that while
universal suffrage and universal amnesty would
have fallen upon the South as blessing, and
instantly united its people, rebel and loyal,
the leaders said mo. we can only do it by
an army.' - The leaders have seen
amnesty pass from them without the compen-
sation which we demanded, and which most
assuredly would have come, and the recon
struction which should have been consumma-
ted a year ago. seems as far from the end as
ever"
In no part. in his assault on the radical
leaders," is Greeley's article more incisive
than where he shows up their incond fency,
stating that neither themselves or the South
have at any time known what the ultimate
designs of the ",leadersp were They have
thrice changed their ground since 1865, by
repeated acts of Legislation, at successive ses-
SONS of Congress, modifying or overthrowing
the legislation of the previous session. At

July, repeating what was supposed to be final.
and introducing new provisions'to secure Ger

bic for him to have kept with the leaders,
unless he had possessed the qualities of

cludes cat ceaseless variance AMONG Them

will show what magnificent results would

ries and practices, and especially such as
have been tested by experience, and have
produced such splendid results on Northern

ANOTHER SOUTHERN History OF THE UNIT.
ED STATEs.--Wm. N. Mcdonald and J. S.
Blackburn, purporting to reside in Berry
vile, Virginia have sent rs prospectus of
new school "HistOry of the United States
the FIRST ever written in the South" and
| requested from US 0 favorable notice. The
prospectus embraces preface and extracts
from the Forthcoming work. Were it not
that there is every appearance of sincerity
about this production, We should conclude
that it was intended as clever burlesque
upon many of the now existing histories of
this, that, and the other, from Southern
standpoint. 1t appears that the controlling
motive for writing this book is otpecuniary
advantage, but to show that the South has
"been hoodwinked for so long time in
the matter of grammsrs and readers
The authors, for here appears to be two
Of them, have made the astounding dis
covery that AbotOnism in its most viru-
lent form has for years lurked in the pages
of the puritancal reprints Of Lindley
Murray. Olney's geography and Dabell's
arithmetic were perfect magazines of in
cendiary sentiments, but so cOvertly in
troduced that it required the acumen of
these modern sages to find it out. After
disposing Of the whole library Of puritan
histories, including Hale Sparks, Bancroft,
Peter Farley, and the like, with one grand
wave of their pens these Berryville Xenoi
phons proceed to give us extracts from
such history as Southern youth should
study. The extracts before us treat of the
founding of jamestown, THE Beginning Of
Negro Slavery" Slavery the Natural
State of the Negro" "Origin of Abolition
ism" 1.-THE Struggle Between the Sections"
"The Hartford Convention" Jefferson
Davis, "The Rout at Manassas" South.
ern Women" aThe Battle OF Shiloh" and
death of General Johnson There are
a great many excessively stupid things in
these extracts, but nothing new that is true.
We recommend these gentlemen to invest
their means in modern hoe, and turn
their attention to raising onions. Litera-
ture is evidently not their forte.

ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD OF AP.
PRAIsERs.-The gentlemen recently selected
by the city and the Commercial, Waterworks
Company to appraise the value of the assets
Of that corporation, met last night at the
ofice Of the City Attorney, and proceeded
70 effect 3 permanent organization. On
motion Of Mr.. T. II. Hatch, one Of the ap
pFaisers on the part Of the Waterworks, Mr..
}. H. 9. Parker, appraiser on behalf of the
city, was unanimously chosen chairman Of
tAe Board. This graceful and unexpected
compliment was acknowledged by Mr.. Par
ker In short but appropriate speech OF
acceptance, in which he returned thanks
for the confidence thus shown him by gen
tlsmen, majority Of whom were entire
etrangeEs to him.
We congratulate the board upon having
secured fpr their chairman an energetic and
pnbIic-spiEitea citizen who viii never be

MORE MURDERS,

We are reliably informed that the Hon.
W. Il. Meadows, of Claiborne parish, was
killed few evenings since near his own
door by disguised men who claimed to be-
long to the Ku-Klux Khan. lie left lis
house for the purpose Of feeding his stock,
was shot, and died Immediately. Mr..
Meadows had been a soldier in the United
States army, and represented ais parish in
the Constitutional Convention. He was all
intelligent, quiet peaceable gentlemen, but
had excited the enmity Of the rebels Of his
neighborhood by being active in favor of
the ratification Of the Constitution.
We are also reliably informed that Cap
tain Twitchell, of Bienville parish, started
to go on horseback to Sparta. As he did
not return at the expected time a search
was instituted which resulted in finding
his horse aud saddle, bat nothing was seen
or learned of the missing man. Fears are
entertained of foul play, as Captain
Twitchell's life has been repeatedly threat
ened. These at all familiar with the Con-
stitutional Convention can not have for
gotten quiet, uncbtrusive gentleman,
with the scar of terrible wound on one
side Of his face. That was Captain NJ. H.
Twitchell, from Bienville parish, who gal
lantly fought and was terribly wounded in
the Union army for that peace and protec-
ton which his government has failed to
give him.
Lawlessness, violence, and murders are
increasing in our country parishes, and
some remedy must be found, and immedi
dtely, or the result will be too horrible to
contemplate. Surely it is time the Major
General commanding this district awoke
to.the necessity of prompt and energetic
action to preserve the interests of Louisi-
ana, and the peace and good order of our
State

THE REPUBLICAN AND THE
PEOPLE


Our subscription list is increasing more
rapidly than at any other time since the
first month Of the existence Of the REPUB-
1IcAS. Every day brings large accessions
TO our mailing book, not only in clubs but
Individual subscriptions. We intend before
next January to have larger circulation
than any other paper in the South, Our
WEEKLY is everywhere received with great
favor, and as many Of the terms of SUBJ
seriptiOn expire the renewals come in with
very complimentary notices, and protest
atoms from our friends that they would
not be without it, The fact is the people
of this State feel that they want a paper
that is ever ready to stand up for their
rights and to advocate their real interests,
regardless of the opposition such advocacy
frequently meets from those who are we'd
ded to old abuses. Such a paper is the
REPUBLICAN, and the people know It.

DANGER TO THE SOUTH,

Every right minded man who eompre'
bends the real condition Of the Southern
States and their necessities, will admit that
failure to convict President johnson
would be calamitous to the loyal men oil
the South, and the worst possible thing
that could happen to the rebellious them
selves. Had it not been for the encourage
ment held out to disloyalty by Andrew
johnson. the reconstruction of the South
would long ago have been an accomplished
fact and on q basis that would have
brought peace, order and prosperity. 1t
is the delusive fate of Southern rebels never
to be able to comprehend the real situa.
ton, but to scornfully reject terms
to-day which next year they will regret
were not accepted. This has been the
whole history of reconstruction. The real
friends of the South admit that Andrew
johnson has been its worst enemy, even
while fattering the people with hopes that
can never be realized. While advocating
the President the Southerners place them
selves in false position. They have from
the first looked upon him with suspicion
and distrust What good has he ever done
them? Their pretended adhesion to him
is only the last in their long list of mis-
takes. The order, peace, and prosperity of
the South depend upon Mr.. Johnson's con-
viction. II Senators at Washington com
pretended the situation as we do in
Louisiana there would De no hesitation as
to the verdict.

THE ELECTION,

In another column we publish the order
ofMajor General Buchanan, announcing the
result of the election on the Constitution,
and for members of Congress.
No report is made of the result for State,
Legislative, judicial, parish, and municipal
osaces, and We are left IN doubt whether The
votes are still being counted and recounted,
or whether the matter is to await the action
Of Congress, or the result Of impeachment,
or the good pleasure Of the Major General
Commanding. We respectfully suggest thai
the interests of the State require that the
result for State and Legislative officers a
least shovid be announced at the earlies
possible moment,

IMPRAnHNBNr.

We call the attention of our readers to
the resolutions on the subject of impeaeh-
ment adopted last night by large and
enthusiastic meeting Of ex-ofiters and
soldiers and sailors Of the United States
army and navy.
The anxiety and uncertainty which hang
like an incubus over the community de-
mand immediate and decisive action from
the court Of impeachment. This is no time
for dallying, no sine for sickness for the
peace of these Southern States is swaying
in the balance.
