Sunday Morning, May 10. 1874.


Yesterday it Was Louisiana; to-day it is Ar
kansas tomorrow who can tell what State will
stand IN need OF Federal Interference to save it
from aparchy7 For to this point have we veri-
ly co1ne through System OF interference and
bayonet rule, resorted to for the purpose OF
maintaining tools OF the Administration in pow
er in the Southern States. Like begets like
capitalization has created necessity for cen
tra1zation. Wanton and wicked in the begin
ming, It has now become the only breakwate1 be-
tween tho people in several States and the ed
vanclng flood Of anarchy, absolute and destructive.
For. il Brooks may seze the 6tate-House on the
strength Of Judicial swindle, and il Baxter, to
prevent other Judicial swind1ea. must send out
highwnymen to capture Judges Of tho Supreme
Court, while armed men in the service of each
prepare their weapons for the fray, wherein
aoas the situation differ from that go often pre-
Rented across the border in unhappy Mexico?
What refuge Or hope can the people have but in
the interference Of some armed force strong
enough to restore order, and make industry and
commerce possiblo7 Brother-in-law Casey. with

sdious business in A,kausas, reaps the fruit.
Republican papers donounce the Presidents
hesitation. We can well understand it. AS he
1aid not long ago, be is dissusted with the whole
,fTair; "those Southern Republicans seem to
hare taken contract to destroy tho Republican
party" Only Grant forgets that be let them
The contract himself, when he first employed
the military power to sustain them in their out
RACES. for the purpose Of securing their support
for his denomination aud the votes OF their
States to insure his reelection. Hence these
woes From that day to this no deed Of
political rascalitY he's been too audi
.ious or infamous Tor this brood OF
eatpet-bag ad7enturers. By Grants first
Interference they were relieved from every SENSE
Of responsibility to the people; permitted to
cheat anybody out Of Office, power, or property.
II they could safely accuse him Of opposing
Grnnt aud assured that the Republican party
OF the North would stand by him and them, no
matter how nefarious their deeds. To them the
election Of 1879 was new guarantee that moth
ing could turn the Northern stomach Since
that time, ns might have been expected at ut
terly INSCRIPTIONS men wien relieved Of all ap~
prehenson Of punishment or even Of
political dofeat. thoy have become more
shameless and reckless than ever, and
the President judges that they have
"taken & contract to destroy the Republican
party" Having given it to obtain reelection,
he would doubtless be very glad to break it, for
he feels that the whole country is disguatcd "a
well as be- But it is no longer easy. Something
must be done bT him to preserve order. His
nwn act has deprived tho people Of that freedom
of elf-gorernment By which they would have
been able to preserve order themselves. He haa
made Arkansas Jungle, and has not much right
to complain if he finds it full Of tigers.
Whether Baxter did or did not sanction tho
recent seizure Of Judges does not matter. The
people behind him are desperate, and no Won
der. They voted in 1872 for 8 ranting dema-
gogue and Republican, named Brooks, only
because they hoped thereby to get rid Of the
r1lo of robbers. But they we're cheated in the
count, and Grant, securing the electoral vote
Of the State BY the same frauds, did not object
Then they succeeded in winning the Governor
who had been declared elected, and behold!
the very men who had fraudu]ently placed
him in Office now turn him out with fraud
and violence. 1t is known that the .a.erate

need only 4 Governors signature to carry out,

10 these men power TO elect such Legislatures as
they may please to count all the votes, and to
pack every court OF justice, and will make it i'm
possible to shake OF their mastery except by
armed revolution. Is it strange if the reopls
