hELLOGG, lDc So'SIiicu wv upi VI '>o"'
siana, still makes it practice to telegraph on
occasion to his masters at Washington. lie
never fails to address his communications to
member of General GRANTS Cabinet. 4
few DAYS ago the Associated Press kilograms
reported an infamous outrage in one of the
parishes of the State over which KELLOGG
has usurped authority. The outrage was
said to have been perpetratcd by kELLoGG's
military forces. The parish, by the way, is
called "Grant' parish, and it would
not be inappropriate to call the State
the "GRANr" State, since he rules it
through satrap, and with the as
sistance of GATLING guns aud Federal
bayonets. Ifsuch rumor had been circulated
By the Associated Press reporter touching the
men under the command of any other Gov
ernor in the United States, lie would have
had it corrected, if it needed correction, by
the same reporter who started it. Governor
WALLER, for instance, would never have
dreamed Of telegraphing to GRANTS Cabinet
that his military force had not been guilty

OF New York, nor the Governor of MasSa-
chusetts, nor the Governor Of Pennsylvania,
nor the Governor of any other State, eX-
cept, possibly, some State presided over by
clrpet-bagger. Why should the Governor
Of State so belittle himself as to make
"morning reports" to the headquarters
at Washington? Why should he wish to
stand well with Government officials and
not With the public: KELLOGG does not care
to vindicate the public reputation Of his sol
diery. That is matter which seems to con-
Germ him not. They may he charged with
lying, stealing, murder, with outrageS Of
every sort, but he must manage to keep
them in good odor and himself in favor
at Washington. So, as soon as he heard
of the rumor which was circulating amongst |
the good people of every section of |
the Union charging his soldiers with
an infamous crime, he sat down and |
dictated or wrote telegram, not to those |
good people, whose favorable opinion is |
worth nothing to usurping Governor, but
to the inevitable Attorney-G General Of the
United States, at Washington, in which tele-
gram he affirmed that "the military who |
g are in Grant parish acting as posse in aid |
g Of the civil authorities to arrest the perpe- |
'<;i@tors of the Collar massacre did not |
arrive until after the Outrage is alleged to |
" .a>c taken place" (Grant and Collar In |

Dust this buZzard from the eagles nest. lie
knows that he owes his position to GRANT,
and he hopes to keep it by toadEing to
GRANT and his Cabinet. For these reasons
he sends his kilograms to the Attorney Gen
eral. Let us hope that Congress will put an
end this winter to KELLosG's degrading rule.
