POLITICAL NOTES.

The reign of rule and corruption in
louisiana will undoubtedly be perpetual
ted unless the common indignation of
the North at the continuance of the out
rage makes itself felt in Congress-
PFilaas!phia hgHi,ey (Rsp.)
The negroes of McLennan county,
Texas, recently passed resolutions more
proper in meaning than in language
They declare that they "have desire to
live where peace and plenty lays at
every door, and hopes to see the time
come when the lion shall lay down with
the lamb in perfect pc ce." They also
register their intentions to Endorse good
men for representatives, caring moth
ing Of what profession they are, or what
party they are, so they are good men,.
Gen. John F. Farnsworth, who has
been nominated on an independent
ticket for Congress in the 4th Illinois
District, began his campaign in speech
at Rockford on the 10Th Of September.
Reports from the district say the pros
poets of his election are very good,
since his sound views on the currency
are more popular than the imitation sem
timents of his opponent Congressman
Hurlbut. ueI

March as the Moseses, Pattersons, Clay
tons, Kelloggs, Caseys and Packards
assemble in convention at Chattanooga,
on the I3th of October. lsn't it little

An Alabama correspondent writes
that the Union white men Of that State
are going to vote with the Conservative
party this fall for the first time since 1860,
and many negroes declare that they will
for the first time in their lives vote the
Conservative ticket. The only hope Of
the GRANTEES is Federal interference.
The whole body of intelligent whites are
anxious that no collision should occur
between whites and blacks.
Under any circumstances, after the
reinstatement of Kellogg his power for
evil should be destroyed, either by his
immediate resignation, or the declara'
ton, by the Government, Of martial law
throughout Louisiana. That is the
least that should be done, and the hon
est, manly sentiment Of the North, which
hate wrong and injustice in any shape
should compel it to be done.-PhfIada
Enquirer (Re6).
The speech of Senator Schurz at St
Louis reviews the situation in Louisiana
and points out the deep-lying cause!
which have led to the present condition
Of affairs. The wrong inflicted on tina
State was not in the present but in tn,
past Intervention of the President. OI
the other hand, the South has been it
own worst enemy in encouraging
spirit of lawlessness and violence towar,
the colored race. To Congress belong
{ the duty Of rectifying abuses in Louisi
ana and guaranteeing honest citizens
to the white people of the State there
no duty more urgent than that of har
monizing therelations between the race:
and encouraging such feeling Of inde
, pendence among colored men that the
, will divide their vote between the pal
: ties. The solution Of the entire probler
of government at the South he think!
will be found in carrying out this pre-
gramme; but he regards the Civil Right
bill as disturbing and imprudentmea:
ure that will interfere with reconstruC
tion.
