add to our burthens the debt of
Mexico?
Taken in whatever light it may be
viewed this protectorate scheme is the
biggest speculation for few men,
and the worst investment for the
mass of Americans to put their time
and money in, that has been broached
in Congress for years. 1t beats San
Domingo so far that forty tons of
nitro-glycerene exploded under San
Juan de Ulloa would not be heard
across the chasm.
As a fitting conclusion to this expo
sition it is proper to state that the
National Republican, of New Orleans,
endorses the scheme. This proves
that it is lobby swindle and that
Gen. Grants friends have got their
hands in the mess. We shall hear of
Leet, Babcock and Casey in this con-
neetion before long. Casey win want
to be sent to Mexico as Lord Protec-
tor. Then the Mexicans will sharpen
their machettes and go for his scalp
as they went for that of fMaximillian.-

Presidential Interyiewers.

This is dispatch to the New York
Herald:
Washington, March 25.-Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback, State Senator
Harris, Representative Souer andJ. w.
Fairfax, Assistant Secretary of State,
arrived here to-day from Louisiana.
These gentleman come as the repre-
sentatives of the Republican party of
Louisiana to consult with the Prcsi-
dent with regard to the interests of
their party in that State. They are
all members of the Republican State
Central Committee, Governor Pinch
back being the chairman and Mr..
Fairfax the secretary of the committee.
They have called their State conven-
ton for May 2 to nominate State Off
GERS, and choose Presidential electors
and delegates to the Philadelphia
convention. They ignore the Cincin-
natl convention, and will have moth
ing to do with it, as they also repudiate
any sympathy with Governor War
moth in his movement in favor of that
convention. They say they support
ed Warmoth in his fight with the
Custom House and Carter faction be-
cause they believed him in the right,
and in that fight he had the support
of the Republican party in their State,
but now in his semi-indorsement of
the Cincinnati convention he sepa-
rates himself from the Republican
party, and they necessarily oppose
him. At the same time they repudi-
ate the idea that the Custom-House
party represent the Republicans of
their State. They don't question their
loyalty to the party, but they do ques-
ton their claim to leadership, and to
settle this point is the object of the
visit here at this time. The delega-
ton have an appointment with the
President to- morrow at eleven O. clock.
No matter what the result of this in
terview may be, Pinchback's dele
gates will go to the Philadelphia Con-
vention and make their fight there.
They say the Republican party of
Louisiana is solid for Grant, and that
they represent more than nine-te nths
of the party.

DONIDsONvILLE, SATURDAY,

twenty-eight years old, active, rigi-
LIANT, decisive, and with considerable
military powers and knowledge of
character. His elder brothers, Steve
Lowery and Tom Lowery, are with
him IN the sWamps of Scuffietown.
Steve surpasses him in Indian ferocity,
Tom in lower of cunning. The
brothers of Henry Berry Lowery's
wife, Andrew Strong and "Boss y
Strong, are also in the party. They
are nearly white. Andrew Strong is
the meanest of the gang-a mere rob-
ber; and 'HBoss " Strong is q plastic
creature of H. B. Lowery, but for that
not less dangerous and terrible.
George Applewhite, a negro who in
termarried with some connections of
the Lowerys, is a ferocious fellow, not
OF late recognized among them. The
interests of society and the welfare of
the colored race require that this band
OF outlaws be extinguished, but the
people of the North. State have shown
no great energy on sagacity to accom-
plish it. They have been at large the
better part of eight years, and all have
broken from one or more ,jails. Moss
Neck Station, in our illustrations, is
the place where the Lowerys fire.
quently and contumaciously appear
when the railway trains pause there
on the Wilmington and Charlotte
Railway. The bandits carry from
three to five revolvers apiece, knife,
and pair of double barreled shot
guns. Their leader has a Spencer
or Henry breeeh-loading rifle.
The adventures of these bandits
would make volume of thrilling in
terest. Their escapes have been at
times almost Incredible. Last fall a
party of twenty-three soldiers were at
a spot called Wiregrass Landing, and
as they looked up the narrow channel
of the Lumber River they saw Henry
Berry Lowery padding small fiat
bottomed scow, his belt of arms un-
buckeled and thrown in the bottow of
the boat. Instantly the whole party
opened fire, when Lowery, with the
agility OF a terrapin, threw himselfin-
to the water on the remote side of the
scow, tilted it up like a floating par
apet, and reaching inside successfully
for his weapons, aimed and fired as
cody as if he was at the head of his
band on solid ground. In this posi-
tion he actually wounded two of the
men and put the whole posse to fight.
Our artist gives graphic sketch OF
this exciting scene.
Another scene depicted by our art
ist is the rescue of the wife of Henry
Berry Lowery, who was arrested dur
ing his absence by company of SOL
diers as the accomplice of her husband
in his crimes. Lowery and some of
his gang discovering this, started to
the party, and making de-
tour through the swamp, threw them
selves behind pile of lumber near
the railway track, and there waited
like panthers for the soldiery to APP
pear. They came, jocular and unsus-
pecting, leading the mulatto woman
and her children. Suddenly there
were a series of reports of firearms,
and three persons were down on the
track moaning in the anguish of NOR
tai wounds. The woman and children
were left standing on the track, and
the rest of the escort party ran away,
more or less injured with buckshot.
