necessity of subdividing the

force that many of them are
already beginning to lease or

ultimately disposing of the
same to their tenants.

acres, about one-half Of which
has been surveyed. The relia-

the country, obtained by the

New Orleans and the Kellogg Usur-

New Orleans and the Kellogg Usur-
patton.
From the Shreveport Times.I
1t was understood that at
the last general election the
people of New Orleans had
elected to the various munich
pal offices of that city men who
were entitled their confidence
and who would represent them
fairly and well. In common
with the people of Louisiana,
we rejOiced with our brethren
of the city in what they claimed
as their triumph. But we have
seen reason to believe that our
rejoicing was somewhat prema-
ture. Whatever may be the
feeling of the people of New
Orleans, and we hope and
believe they are in accord with
the people throughout the
country parishes, it cannot be
denied that the municipal gov
eminent of the city has placed
itself in antagonism to them.
The Kellogg government could
not have sustained itself had it
not been recognized by the city
council of New Orleans. IL is
a well-known fact that q dele
cation from the Legislature,
during its recent session, head
ed by Gov. McEnery, waited
on that council and requested
them, if they could do nothing
more, at least to retain from
recognizing Kellogg, and that
the Mayor and Administrators
declined to grant the request
How much longer do the citi-
zens of New Orleans propose
to pay a metropolitan police
which, under the orders of al
undoubted usurper, is being
sent throughout the State to
murder, Cypress and outrage
the people of the country par,
ishes. If the people Of New
Orleans sympathize and are
united with us in our struggle
for freedom, their first act
should be to remedy the fla
grant wrong committed by
their municipal representatives

a Turn in the Tide
III Roundabout > in n. o. Times

From Roundabout, In y. y. Times.
The transition of public
opinion which has been evident
for some time past may now
be said to be so far complete
that Mr.. kellogg has scarcely a
corporal's guard to count OH in
the original Fusion ranks.
One month ago, had he
possessed the wisdom to con-
ceive and the nerve to act, the
difficulty confronting him
could have been spirited away
as though by magic. To-day
we do not believe he has it in
his power to gather to himself
the contenance of the solid,
property-holding, business
people of the State and city,
save'by far greater concessions
than would have been demand
ed then.
He has surrounded himself
by the most abandoned and
INSCRIPTIONS otfice-seekers of
either party, and between their
counsels, like a needle midway
between two equal magnets,
he has hung suspended, inert
and negative in all things.
Four weeks ago Roundabout
could take aside the average
Fusionist, and, with forty
words, find out that he was
quite willing to make the most
of a bad job and accept Kellogg
under mitigating circumstances
in the matter Of Legislative
and local government. Las
night he found the most peace
desiring trimmers of hi:
acquaintance tired and dis
gusted with the present state
of affairs, aud deliberately
resolved on open revolt rather
! than submission.
l Roundabout sees IN the nov
' existing sentiment Il certain
+ something which was altogeth
, er lacking before. 1t ha
:. passed ont of the hands o
! party leaders; it is no longe
the empty war cry of party
hacks; but in the stern resOlut,
determination of the men wht
hold the purse strings O
q Louisiana, and who, if the,
+ cannot battle successful,
q against the General Govern
t ment, can at least make til
J. individual administration Q
Y Mr.. Kellogg a failure.
It Whether the opinion is absur
e. or not,people seem to have prett
d genarally concluded that it wi
1. be no greater hardship to los
II their property than to pay the
v taxes to such a government
4 and, acting on that belief, it
~ evident Mr.. Kellogg's penaltit
> will possess no terrors.
- AS far as we Judge public opil
= ion at this stage of the game, n
= Kellogg is confronted with IL
IL alternative-either to break ava
e from and defy mere party tran
mels, or to decline into the chara
ter of a Governor whose ordel
'e are of no avail except at the poll
g of United States bayonets; wi
n cannot, within the State he a

Roundabout" in the New

truths about how the city mem
bers controlled the Fusion Leg
islature by their confidential
letters and kilograms from
Washington. Yes, truly did
they drop on a disguised
country member like a hurri-
cane," and when their "star
chamber" caucus edicts failed,
the batteries Of the "calico
brigade" Picayune) were lev
eled upon him. Witness Tex
ada, Elan and Harris, and the
brow-beating generally of
those country members" who
supported Warmoth for the
u. S. Senate. And thus is Lou
isiana to be dictated to by New
Orleans
