% WarmOth is a Demagogue.
Warmoth is a man with but q
small amount of brains, and those
are OF a poor quality. Warmoth
came to the conclusion that there
was not the right material inside
OF his head to enable him to gain
a decent living in Illinois, and SO
he thought he would 60 downand
try to live by indecency in Louisi-
ana. This was a bright idea for a
man who knows no more than
WarmOth, and it was Immediately
followed up. There is an old ad-
age about certain class ofpeople
beinglucky, and Warmoth belongs
to that class. He put % pair of
well-worn trousers into an ancient
carpet-bag, the original cost of
which was seventy eight cents,
and started for New Orleans.
These were not all the posses
siOns of Warmoth. He had a
large stock of cant. He had a
larger stock of 'loyality." He
had a soul filed with zeal for 'sthe
interest of God and humanity
He had disposition and capacity
to make love to the Singer" From
this inventory of his effects, it will
be seen that, although they were
not available in Illinois. War
moth lived in a Democratic Dis
trict-they were of great value in
Louisiana. They made him Gov
ernor. The Governor controls the
State Treasurer.
Now Warmoth writes that the
people of Louisiana are not favor
ably impressed with his Style
He wants an addition to the
standing army in that State to
change their opinion of him. 'Let
us have peace."-[Chicago Times.

The negroes have been told by
our parish officers, that they had
a right to hold political meetings.
the officers not dreaming the ma.
ture of these political meetings.
Gov. Yarmouth is very severe
against the secret societies called
K. W. g., but these Loyal Lea,
guers, who are armingagainst thu
country, we suppose he thinks are
all right, inasmuch as he says
nothing about them.
Here we have some of the fruits
of radicalism. They are arming
a semi-barbarous people to kill.
and murder and rob the white
race of the South. They are in.
stilling in the breast of these peo.
pie the direst hatred for their for.
mer masters, thus engenderine
the seeds of a most terrible civil
war. Do they expect Southern
white men tolie supinely, and suffer
their threats to be cut I The frL
ture looks dark and foFaboding.
Unless the Democracy Of the
North are triumphant, destruction
awaits us. Our very existence de-
ponds upon the success of that
party. If the Radical party tri-
umphs, they will arm the blacks
and send their worst men to lead
them. We will, in that event, be
compelled to resort to arms, or
see our property taken from us,
our children kicked out, and our
wives and daughters debauched.
Our blood runs cold when we con

dental term, will become, mere
lenient in their measures. God
grant it may be SO, but from their.
past history we have no guarantee
for it. AS their powers have in
creased, their oppressiosnhas in
creased, and we have every rea-
soAto believe that they will never
stop their wild career until dire
necessity puts a sudden end to
their party. Such. revolutions
must in the end, bring a terrible
judment upon these revolutionists.
They will not stop short of the
country's destruction, unless the
people rise up in their majesty
and take the power from them at
the ballot-b0x.

Judge elect of this Parish, has
been arrested by virtue of two
warrants eminating from the Par

turned over to the Sheriff of that
parish. We are not advised as to
the nature of the offences, but
learn that they are based on two
true bills Of the Grand Jury of

The Instruction in Bossier.

the insurgents for commitment
terminated. Twenty of the most
fragrant criminals were committed
to jail to await their trial at the
next term of the District Court;
in default of giving the required
bond and security. Twenty-one
were released on their own recog-
nisance, to appear at the next
term of the District Court for
trial. Eight were released unoon
ditionally, besides fourteen boys
who were released at Fillmore.
Justices Bush and Ford gave
the prisoners every opportunity
to prove their innocence, about
two days being occupied in exam
lining the defendants witnesses.
Those who were released on
their own recognizance, we're
equally culpable with the rest, but
out OF reasons of humanity, on
the suggestion of States Attorney
Ashton, they were set at large. It
is believed that, if so large a num-
Der had been confined in jail, un-
til Court, disease would have en-
gendered that would have destroy
ed the lives ofmany of the prise
ners, and probably the lives of
some of the citizens residing near
the jail.
We can now look back dispas-
ionately and form a more correct
opinion of their intentions.
From the evidence, it is plain,
that they intended to take the
law into their own hands. One
OF the determinations was, that
no arrests were to be made among
them for crime of any sort, and
many of them looked forward to
the humiliation of the white race,
leaving them the sole masters of
Bossier parish.
Those who are not acquainted
with the great ignorance of the
freedmen can hardly believe that
so wild a scheme had everentered
their brains. Yet it is in proof
that some of them had declared
their intention to kill the white
people ''from the cradle up.n-
There were several witnesses not
sworn, who would have testified
the same things, but the District
Attorney thought the evidence
was ample to commit them for the
crime of riot and breach of the
peace, and therefore hurried
through the States evidence.
1t is also evident that the lea
ders expected at least a thousand
armed blacks to be present the
day they were taken. tits in proof
that runners were sent in every
direction, some as far as 90 miles.
to call together their forces, and
the Chief himself had gone to.
Shreveport to hasten the guns
and ammunition that he had sent

They seemed to think that the
Northern white man would CO
operate with them in subjecting
the Southern white man under
thefoot of the negro. They expect

ished them by the radical party.

The mere conpieiioa that this financial

CURED in a county south of this on a LARGE
plantation, which illustrates the negro's
idea of justice, and his own views of the
utility of the black code. Z" One negro
stole cow from another and was detected.
The plantation became excited; a mass
meeting was held, and like the Senate
trying Andy johnson, resolved itself into a
impeachment court-every black son of
an African predetermined on conviction.
The judgement of the tribunal was, that
he be taken hence TO convenient place, and
there staked ont on the ground by the
hands and feet. and receive one hundred
aud fifty lashes on his naked back, we'll
laid on; and for satisfaction to the owner
of the cow, It was solemnly adjudged that
he should have lien upon his crop to be
grown. The main facts are strictly true
and accurately stated.-Merldian { Miss. }
