This from the Cincinnati
Commercial"
There is Every indication
down South of a purpose to
check the progress of political
revolution at the North and
give Radicalism a new lease Of
life.
And this:
If a relaxation of Radical
rule in the South results in an
epidemic of murder, the guess
ton will have to be considered
whether it will not have to be
applied q few years lapger.
The Commercial is not a
friend to Radicalism nor an en-
envy of the South but, never
theless, the whole theory Of the
situation, as regarded from a
Northern stand point, is eX>
pressed in these two para
graphs.-(Louisville Courier
Journal.

1t will go ont with Radical rule.
Human nature is the same I
everywhere. Human outrage !,
will provoke retaliation. Pres
ident johnson uttered a great I
truth when he said that for four |
hundred years no English |
speaking people had been made J
to suffer SO cruelty and so |
causelessly as the Southern
people had through the perse-
cutions Of an interested. politi>
cal party in possession of the
United States Government. |
While we depreciate the effect
of this cruelty upon the men Of
hot and unstrained passions in.l
the South and there. are such
men in all countries we are
obliged to confess that the re-
action and violence are greatly
disproportioned to the provok-
ing cause. We regret that any
of it should have cropped out
of SO fertile a soil, because
every act Of violence amongst
US, and q multitude of acts that
existed only in the Imagination
of our enemies, is caught up to
be worked into material to
postpone the daX Of Southern
deliverance from the tyranny
OF the Radical party. But at
least we should be ashamed to
get down upon our knees and,
in the thought of the late Wm.
ii. Seward, crawl upon our
bellies to apologize to our enc
mics for results that are tracea-
bic directly to their doors and
their consciences. Meantime
we do implore the Southern
people to bear and forbear still
longer, except on occasion
when the safety Of their fami-
lies demands their defence.
We are wearried out with this
everlasting, hypocritical. puri-
tanical wolf-cry that we are
muddying the stream from
which we drink at a point be>1
low that where our wonld-be
devourer slakes his blood-red
thirst. By what argument and
by what meek deportmentconld
the lamb in the fable have dis
armed the appetite Of the wolf.
for bis flesh 2 The wolf was a
coward as well as a brute. It
assailed the weak and the help
less, and all its fellow>brutes
applauded and cried out for
vengeance. 1.-THE South could
by a miracle ofnature bear all
that has been put upon it, with
out one outburst of overtaxed
humanity, they would be a peo-
pie worthy to be swept away
as spiritless cumberers of the
grounds nation of ours who
would turn tail and run the
first time the soil of the Union
was pressed by a foreign inva-
der. Will our Northern CONS
patriots never be satisfied until
! the men of the South are re-
duced to this degradation
Are we never to be voted the
worthy participants of your
Northern civilization until we
cringe and yelp like dogs
Yet this is the schooling to
(which your Washington de-
partment Of Justice is subject

We are informed by DR.. w.
M. Swami, Chairman of the
Committee OF Five, that all of
the Kellogg officials of this
parish have been waited upon
and requested to abdicate their
Offices, in compliance with reso-
luton Of mass meeting held
here Wednesday. The said
officials have promptly COM
piled with the request of the
people. There is not a Kellogg
officer in Bossier to-day; all the
legal officers of the parish hav>
ing been duly installed, and are
now in the undisputed enjoy
ment of all the rights, privi-
leges and emoluments of their
respective offices.

Louisiana will yet stand ire

Kellogg usurpation is at an
end, and the State of Louisiana
to-day is ruled by United

II the people are true to
themselves, and we have faith
in them, the end is not far dis
tant-when our outraged State
will soon again be in the hands
Of her true sons. As soon as
the bayonet is removed, none
other should or will be allowed
to rule over us. The indignant
yoemanry Of Louisiana have
spoken in words unmistakable,
that she must be free again, or
become q military camp. We
have crossed the stream and
destroyed the bridges in our
rear. We leave no ships be-
hind Us. The word now is,

The Programme.
We notice in the proceedings of the

Monday, chat in about one third of the
districts Republicans were selected to get
up district conventions aud have dele.
gates appointed. This was a very wise
scheme on the part Of the originators os
this movement. If they had appointed
all Democrats it would have shown too
plainly the object aimed at. But by
mixing and if necessary On the day of
the convention to carry out their plans,
perhaps one or two Republicans would
have been nominated, in order to secure
the remainder. Republican will see the
programme of their opponents and if we
mistake not, will have nothing to do in
the stripping arrangement.
