4 PIECE OF INJUSTICE.

Tie Bee, somewhat 70 our establishment,
yesterday assumed that Governor War
moth was individually responsible for
every act that was done about the State
House either by his friends or those who
put themselves forward as his friends.
There have been occasions when men have
assumed the livery of friendship to play
the enemy in; and there have been men
who had friends from whom they prayed
to be delivered. No man can guard himself
against hypocrisy or indiscretion. The
truth Of the matter is the acts against
which the Bee makes this cutlery We're com
mitted ly men who had their own in
terests to take care of quite as much as
If not more than they had the Gov
ernor's. The Republican party found
itself in peril, threatened in a dozen
different ways, and surprised at
dozen different points. Its members
had to defend their party organization, not
by q systematic and matUred plan of opera
tons, but according to the attack that was
made upon it. Republicans had to i'm
pryylsr measures Of resistance on the i'll
slant, not especially for the defense Of
Governor W"MotL, bat to insura th,ir
own safety. Before them was Il most dis
nal future of detraction and defeat. around
t!lcll We're the fallen timbers of the party
that has given protection to all classes,
and within themselves were to be found
the means. OF saving the Republican or
ganization, The emergency made these
llnpeIiled men daring and fertile. They
guarded themselves alike from their open
toes and from those who had deserted
them. TLe Governor WAS excluded
from tn House by the order of the
Speaker, Men Were prevented from
passing out or H. loastwise they might COM
municate between Governor Warmoth and
his friends. Tie efforts of the coalition
were such as to prevent any Of the respon-
slbillty OF what was done from being fixed |
upon the Governor, for the proceedings of |
the House were kept from his knowledge: |
and the assaults upon the integrity of the |
Republican organization were made with |
out prcmonition OF the quarter from |
whence they were to come or the shape in |
which they were to be made. This mega
tlvts the e2-tlre position OF the Bee, that |
Governor Warmoth is to be held RESPONSE |
Die for what was done in the House of Rep
resentatiyes blythe Republican members.
Then again, men have assumed to speak
~ authority of Governor Wannoth who
we're not authorized to Use his name. Mem
Jers of the Legislature made motions and
'ttered suggestions that the Governor new
+ saw, and would never have counte-
lanced. These men had their own safety
Il view, and they fought from their own
standpoint. To hold an innocent and I'M
gentleman responsible for all
hat great body Of independent legis-
ltors do is piece Of rank injustice and
ne which the Bee ought to have had too
much sense to commit

parallel case to hundreds Of similar lynch

parallel case to hundreds Of similar lynch
ings that have occurred in the West, was
made the occasion of the most alarming
and exciting kilograms and newspaper re-
ports. The country at large was told that
the entire white population of Chlcot
county was being outraged, the men being
killed and the women being subjected to
more horrible fate. The President was
lmportuned for troops, the Governor OF
Arkansas was called upon to order out the
militia, and valiant Memphis was thrown
into such IL flaming excitement that she
prepared military expedition for the re-
lief of Chicot. And vet, while all this
inhammable stuff was being blazoned over
the United States, the mob that provoked
it was slowly dispensing without doing any
further damage than the avenGlng OF a
whisky shop shooting scrape. Chlcot
county is DETAINED to the ends OF the
earth as an unsafe place, and the whole
State Of Arkansas is slandered as q lawless
and murderols locality.
AS we said on the first receipt Of the
alarming reports from Chicot, the whole
affair has turned out to be mere lynch
ing case such as the West is familiar with.
And the question now arises again, what
recourse have the people Of Arkansas
against the parties who SO slandered her
good naml that all the world has been
made afraai to venture into her midst?
The Memphis papers are particularly re-
sponsib!e fer the eXtrayagant and out
IageoUs statements that were first set atloat
touching the disturbance, and Will they
have ceased to repeat their scandalolls re-
ports, they have carefully abstained from
correcting any Of their mischieyo7ls SIAN
lers upon tie good name of Chicot.

BURCH SCARED.

J. Henri Burch, surrounded by ku-
Klux Knights of the White Camelia, and
the mysterious and terrible . 7G, is not
brave Brrch. Wars rude alarms fright
his peaceful soul, when. he is not on the
exempt list On the opening of the Gem
Legislature yesterday, eX-Speaker Carter
discourscd upon the hardships of a mi
nority which could not control a turbulent
and willflll majority of the House, and
was followed BY Lynch, Of Iberyille,
who wanted to try to take possession
Of the Hall il Mechanics Institute at any
risk. But J. Henri thereupon arose, and
his fears painted an imaginary picture
filled with horrors. Opposite the State
House were buildings with numerous win
doWs. and each window an arsenal OF hand
grenades and deadly missiles intended to
slaughter anti-Warnoth Legislatures Tie
militia seemed to think the only weapons
to be found thereabouts were not calcu-
lated to produce immediate death, as J.
Henri himself might haze ascerta:ned had

WE HAVE HAD PEACE.

If the city of New Orleans has escaped d
disgraceful row during the last week. she
may safely give the credit for this e2emp-
ton to the tact which the Repupilcah
leaders have manifested in avoiding every
pitfall that was set to provoke disturb
apce. Governor Warmoth set the example
of good order by peaceful submission TO
an arrest that was intended as an Insult
and a degradation. He has counseled
peace toward and between all men, and Ill
addition to his counsel he has directed
such precautions to be taken that the nope
for a disturbance failed in the breasts OF
those who sought it as their only hope
The power to protect The people has been
manifested in every quarter, and this power
was of such a nature that the men who be-
thought to commence a row felt that they
would not be allowed to strike but one
blow before the law would have its hand
upon them. The police have not intruded
nor made themselves otficious, but they
have shown their presence, and been
prompt at the scene where anger seemed to
indicate collision. There is nothing
easier than to suppress disorder, ii the Off
Ger knows his duty and feels that he Will
be sustained in doing it, This has been
the case during the week, and this is why
we have passed through terrible excite
mcnt without 50 much as reporting az as

A DEMOCRATIC DISAPPOINTMENT,

Such of our readers as We're i'll New Or
leans during the war can not fail to re-
member the effect produced upon the look
and mien OF the Democrats of that time
(they Were then called contederates) by the
news OF rebel victory How they
tAron3ed the streets, cOngratulating each
other i'll animated tones, while their spark
hing eyes, erect forms and rapid motions
all testified the rleasurable emotions which
filled their breasts. When, however. the
next news confessed that the account Of
the victory was premature what change
Look, tone, gait, everything bespoke de-
lection and crestf;llenness. Precisy Il SINH
lar was the department Of our Democratic
citizens on Wednesday and Thursday last.
When the news spread abroad thai certain
prominent Republicans, some Of them
high officials; had been arrested. the Demo-
Gratis hailed the news as Democratic vic
tory. They went Growing through the
streets with combs erect and self-satisfeJ
strut congratulating each other on their
prospective re-establishment i'll political
power The claims of the weak and silly
faction by whose unfaithfulness they were
the profit were completely ignored, and
they gloated i'll anticipation over the
lp-,ye, and fishes 50 soon to fall into their
po- e5sion, and tranplel under foot the
rights OF their former bondsmen, now,
to their modification and disgust, their
political equals. How rapidly in inten-
ton they repealed all laws offensive to
their deeply seated prejudices how scorn-
fully kicked down the ladder by which
they lad risen. Good news" cried they,
shaking hands; ''this is a
