press of the North. As an Illustration
of this, take an article from the New
York World of Saturday last.
eff Louisiana were tranquil under
the treatment to which she has been
subjected" says this organ of Law and
Order, "the tranquility would be a
worse reproach to the character of her
people than even the condition of
anarchy to which she is tending" The
article goes on to state that whatever is
bad in Louisiana belongs to the Kellogg
party whatever is good naturally be-
longs to the McEnery party. The for
mer is composed of all the ignorance
and the latter Of all the wisdom in the
State. The noble men thus imposed
upon would be worse than slaves, ac-
cording to the World, if they were to
submit to such things quietly.
And this is a specimen of the advice
that is given by the remnant of Northern
doughfaces to the misunderstanding peo-
pie of Louisiana, and is the patent cause
of all the troubles there. A lot of
cowardly editors and political pariahs,
who would breathe naught but the
sweetest notes of submission were they
placed in the position of these men,
write sangu1nary editorials and sound
the tocsin of war from their safe re-
treats, calling upon all who would pre-
serve their freedom to arm for the fight
against despotism.
1t would be amusing, were they not
wicked, to read the grave assertions of
these men about the existing govern
ment in Louisiana. cit is a barefaced
an1 choy,o1occ Roo,,1 - oo-c A. IJvo.yI
1.-The Government is, in fact, a satrapy.
The miserable minority which it alone
represents comprises all the worst, as
the majority, which goes unrepresented,
comprises all the best elements of socie-
ty IN Louisiana" We suppose this is
what made the notorious Warmoth the
leader of the respectable portion of
the people, and Jack Horton his able
lieutenant. But what is the pleasure of
the World in the matter? Will it have
the effrontery to assert that McEnery and
his associates on the ticket received a
majority of the votes at the last cleo
ton !? Does it believe that the election
as conducted by "this respectable "
faction was honest In view of the
overwhelming evidence of the most
shameless frauds on the part of War
moth and his friends who represented
McEnery, it will not hazard its reputa-
ton by such an allegation. That there
were frauds on both sides we have no
doubt. Neither have we any doubt but
illegal voting took place in New York at
the same election.
There may be men in the metropolis
of the East who do not believe that
Gov. Dix received a majority If the
legal votes, but he has been installed as
Governor and represents the authority
OF the State. Whatever the frauds in
the Louisiana election, Gov. Kellogg
been declared Governor by fvetimes
the weight of authority that SO pro-
nounced in favor of Gov. Dix. Parish,
district, State and Federal courts unite
IN declaring him the duly elected Execu-
tive. The remedy, if it is insisted that
all these tribunals were corrupted, is to
carry the case to a still higher court.
But after being beaten on their own
ground, these men, encouraged by such
papers as the Wortd, threaten to resort
to arms. We say threaten, for appear
ances indicate that the revolution
there is more prolific in threats than in
deeds. A coward can mingle 1 n a crowd
and attempt the life of the Governor,
and two or three hundred ruffians can
assemble and massacre a score or two of
helpless negroes, but when a bakers
dozen of determined men, carpet baggers
though they be, advance upon these
brave and respectable" gentlemen,
Falstaff and his companions never ran
more quickly or beloved more in
gloriously than they. The reason is not
that the respectable citizens of Louisiana
lack courage, but that the respectable"
citizens are e~ndeavoring to attend to
their business, leaving the roughs of the
coffee-houses and the idle young men
about town to conduct this fight on the
part of McEnery.
The World declares hat if the Kel-
logg Government wa "not upheld from
without (that is, by the United States
troops it would fall in a day before the
Just wrath of the people of Louisiana"
1t may be well to remind that paper that
Kellogg has not yet called upon the
Government for aid, and that troops
have only been employed so far to exc
cute the writs of the United States Mar
shall. Indeed, we find the following
editorial paragraph in the World itself,
which proves that this allegation is no
nor reliable than it's other assertion.
Says the World, in the paragraph
alluded to: Cup to this time Gov. Kel-
logg has not called upon the President
of the United States in the way de-
scribed by the Constitution for assist
ance. Gen. Emory is not authorized to
use the nations troops until he is ordered
so to do, except to secure the service of
process issued by the United States
courts"
To all appearances, order has been
well nigh restored in Louisiana by the
State authorities, and other outbreaks
will occur only when the people are no
longer able to reconcile their quiet ODE
dience to the laws with the turbulent
advice of the independent press
Inter- Ocean.
