will be repeated in many of our interior
parishes. Such conflicts may be pre-
vented by the federal soldiery, but not
by the metropolitan brigade or any State
militia that can be raised. Exasperated
beyond measure, the people will not
submit to what they consider as base
imposition, if the men whom they pay
for better service are made the agents of
their oppression. By the difficulties
now taking shape the industrial as well
as the political condition of the State
will be seriously deranged, and if they
are not speedily settled confusion worse
confounded must ensue.

Another View.

The trouble in Grant parish has cul-
minated, as it is likely to culminate in
other parishes, if the negroes, led on by
white conspiritors, band themselves to-
gether in support of usurpation. In such
a contest the colored politicians cannot
maintain themselves, and if they un-
dertake to decide questions Of right by
physical force, ana to violate the laws
Of warfare by firing on flags of truce,
they will certainly be dealt with as Cen
eral Sherman and President Grant sug-
gest, when like treachery en- the part

'TopEKA, Jan. 2i.-Thero is more excitement
over the Senatorial contest tonight than ever.
Tho anti-Pomeroy caucus Was attended BY
BeYenty-four members Of tho Legislature, and
all the opposition candidates. Harmony and en-
thusiasm prevailed. Several speeches were made
against Pomeroy. It seems that combination
Of the Kansaa delegation elect to the Lower
House Of Congress to oppose Pomeroy Was
effected to-day, hence their presence in the
caucus. Colonel Cobb's speech YRS par
ticnlarly scathing. He said, among other things,
things that he believed in, and should work for,
purer end better order Of things in Kansas,
and should renew his pledge to the people OF the
State that no man should knowingly secure his
support for any place Of trust, under the Gov
ernment, as reward for his vote in electing any
man to office. Judge Lowe and Colonel Phillips
fully indorsed bis views. The four candidates
Frosent substantially agreed that the man re-
ceiving the largest number Of votes on tho frat
ballot in tho Legislature should receive tho &C.
tive support OF tho other candidates.
Senator Pomeroy, tonight, claims that Phil
lips was entrapped into the caucus By promise
OF the other candidates Withdrawing in his favor,
and that the opposition will now throw him
overheard, since he has committed himself to
anh-Pomeroy principles. "
Judge Lowe said the Republican party Was
competent to purify itself without the aid Of
Democrats aud Liberals. The remark caused
several Liberals toleaye the caucus. -
