HERE'S the truth in a nutshell. The
Rochester Union says: "The northern
half OF the Union, with every element
Of wealth and prosperity-with its shops
turning OFT the results Of mechanical
skill, anu the fields blossoming with
abundant harvests-is in 8 state Of stag
nation because Of the condition Of the
south; for il is as much against reason
TO expect that one-hslf Of the country
can be in a siekly condition, approach
ing death, and the other half in q
healthy condition, with vigorous life, as
70 expect that one side Of ones body can
be mass Of pUtrefaction and the other
side type Of perfection"

Former Federal OReerS I'm the Fight AZ
New Orleans.
From the New Orleans Picayune.l

1t is significant fact, and one which
should be properly noted in the minds Of the
men OF the north, that several officers who
had served throughout the whole war in the
Federal army, and who fought gallantly to
the end, last Monday were out in the peoples
ranks fighting the hordes OF the usurpation
with as much bravery as they had shown
when opposed on the field Of battle 10 the
boys in gray. These officers ranked from
colonel down to non-commisSioned officers.
on Monday they c0ndescended 10 use rifles
and muskets, with the rank simply OF Ameri-
can citizens and would-be freemen.

EDITORS APPEAL-It is very strange
that some people are dissatisfied with the
nominations for the senate and house Of as
sembiy at our recent county convention.
When the fact Is borne in mind that II We
scrutiniZe the character and names Of the
de eEates there assembled we viii md that
over seventy per cent. OF those representing g
Memphis are business men between Adam 5
and Monroe streets, and II such men cannot
make as a good ticket, and good ticket have
made, we might well despair. Unfortunately y,
there were only eight Offices for the forty can
didRtes, and only few OF the disappointed
are now growing and rubbing their noses
against the late defeated Radicals, and howl
ing loudly because they were not nominated.
Let them keep quiet Their time VIII come.

Origin Of ihs white League.

The New Orleans correspondent OF the
Courier-JOtirndL, writing on the eighteenth,
says: "Soms gentlemen, members Of his old
co rps, as was Informed at the time, waited
upon General L0ngstreet and inquired If he
knew anything Of the cOmmOtion likely 10
occur on the fourth Of July. He replied in
substance that the rumOr was not true; that
but one company OF militia would parade,
and that they would be without cartridges.
He further ated, however, that ther was an
organization complete in the state, ful Y
armed, and known as the Black League and
that IF the white men did not organize at
once they were crazy This was the true ORR
gin of what Is known as the white League,
which is nothing more t1an the organization

THE MAYORALTY.

The withdrawal of Mayor Wilt from any
contest for the nomination of Mayor by the
late Convention. and conoeding it to Mr..
Charles J. Leeds. is an act of gallantry, mag
nanimity.aad self-sacrifce that will place MIR.
Witt higher than ever in the estimation OF
his fellow-citizens, who have always honored
him for his high sense Of honor. unspotted
integrity, and patriotic devotion to bis native
State.
Recognizing the great necessity of harmony
among our people at this critical period as
INDISPENSABLE to success, he will not permit
himself to stand in the way of unity and con-
cord. nor viii, he be an obstacle to the accom-
plishment of the great purpose which shoald
be the sole aim of every good citizen.
He feels that the best interests of the
country are superior to any individual claims
or personal aspirations. Actuated by such
sentiments, Mayor Witt, in very graceful
manner, which does credit to both head and
heart, indorses the action of the Convention
in the nomination of his competitor, Mr..
Leeds. and pledges him hearty support in
the canvass.

THE BULLETIN AND THE HIVES.

prominent member, in fact the originator,
we believe, of that comical party yclept the
"Hives," has seen proper to take umbrage at
what, according to his own published state
ment, bears upon its very face the quintes-
sence of stupidity and nonsense. Mr.. Daniel
Scully-who, by the way, is the nominee of
the Hives for the most important position on
the ticket, as we'll as an officer under the
present city administration-in a manner
more like wasp than bee flies at the
BULLETIN and thrusts at us the envenomed
tongue of calumny. And for what?
An anonymous communication sent to
us through the Post Office, was received,
and, after perusal, was consigned to the
waste basket. Its reflections upon gen
t.emen who were innocently and harm
lessly engaged in getting up party,
were of such nature, aside from the anony-
nous character, that we cast it aside. Days
after, it was shown and read to Mr.. Scully in
a joking manner, in the presence Of MIR. I. A.
Bartlett, another member Of the Hives, and
they were twitted in the most friendly manner
cation, Mr.. Scully then asked why we did
not publish it. Our reply was that We never
published anonymous communications unless
their statements could be verified.
The next day Mr.. Scully demanded copy
of the communication, instead of which, how
ever, we sent him the original Finding it
was anonymous, he made then the absurd de-
mand of US to give the name and place of
residence of the author. To this our reply
simply was that the author was as we'll known
to him as to US, and we had no further reply
to give Whereupon Mr.. Scully, in a manner
more irrascible than judicious, and more vltu-
perative than ignenuous, "buzzes' in half
column card, which answers the triple pur-
pose of advertising the Hives, giving publicity
to the communication we refused to publish,
and at the same time exhibiting himself in
most unenviable light.
We can only attribute such a display OF
peevishness on the part of the usually discreet
and temperate Mr.. Scully to the disappoint-
ment he experienced in his seeing his pet
bantling fall " still-born upon the commu-
nifty.
The Hives may be good institution, and
we know embraces number of highly re-
spectacle and intelligent gentlemen; but GER
tainly it is no more immaculate and no more
free from the attack and abuse Of its oppo-
nents than any other political party, even il
Mr.. Daniel Scully is its founder, active
member and prominent candidate.

had been created Of 81, 800. 900; and this was
met by sale Of the free school bonds, special
taxation, and the payment of taxes in war
rants. Again, in 1874, it appearing that the
expenditures had in the mean time exceeded
the receipts to the extent Of nearly 50, 600, OOO
the holders of the warrants representing that
amount, being mainly officers of persons in
terested in the maintenance of the present
usurping State Government conceived the
idea of this Funding Bill.
The objects sought to be secured by this
Funding Act are:
/. To give by the exchange the color of val
idity to some 100000 of old bonds for
which the State has never received any con-
sideration, and which, obtained as it is be-
ieved they we're, by bribery, are universally
regarded as fraudulent or unlawful issues.
2. To enable the holders of these warrants
to realize upon their investment, which other
wise might prove total loss not only this,
but to obta Stats bonds at Coo on the dollar,
for warrants exchanged at par, but which were
purchased at rates as low as $50 on tho dollar.
Thus warrant for $500 purchased for $2l0
would be exchan gable for new State bond of
$1,000.
It is unnecessary to dwell upon those fea-
lures of the law, which forbid the judiciary,
under heavy penalties, from taking cognizance
of its workings or from listening to the COM
plants of those who may be injured by its
nh; oh NO Of do
ton with the power (Which is exclusively a
judicial one) Of passing upon the validity OF
any series of bonds; which increases the in
terest upon over S12OOO,0OO of the debt from
six per cent, what it now is, to seven per
cent, the rate fixed in the act, by which, but
for the reputation it ordains of 40 per cent
of the principal of the old bonds, the tax to
pay interest would be increased $4,000
per annum. 1t will be sufficient, in con-
cluson, to say that the Funding Act is in d.
rect conflict with every Constitution of this
State which has existed since the Constitution
Of 1912 was repealed.
Article Ill, of the Constitution of 1868,
reads as follows:
''Article Ill. Whenever the General Assem-
bly, shall contract debt exceeding the amount
of 500, 600, unless in case of war to repel in
vasi on or suppress instruction, it shall, in
the law creating the debt, provide adequate
ways and means for the payment Of the current
interest and of the principal, when the same
shall become due and the said law shall be IT.
repeaLa5e until the principal and interest be fully
paid, or unless the repeating law contain some
adequate provision for the payment Of the prin-
cipal and interest of the debt"
Article ia, of the Constitution Of 1864,
article Ill of the Constitution of 1852, and
article ia of the Constitution of 1845, cor
respond strictly in spirit and for the most part
to the letter with the above quoted article Ill
of the Constitution of 1868.

PROSECUTIONS UNDER KU-KLUX
ACT.

Rumors are current ON the streets, 70 tho
effect that Attorney General Williams has rs
sued peremptory instructions to the United
States District Attorney and United states
Marshal in New Orleans, to commence cr1ml-
nal prosecutions against the members Oh 'ne
White League throughout the State.
Such proceedings just on the eve OF an elec'
ton, will be generally regarded in no otner
light than a mere party trick or maneuvre. II
is also rumored that the process in these suits
is 10 be executed by sending United states
troops with the deputy marshal to every par
ish.
Even if there we're just grounds tor socn
prosecutions, occurring at time so suspicious
the motives for instituting them are likely to
be questioned, and the judiciary brought into
disrepute in the minds of majority OF our
people. 1t is deplorable, that judicial process
and the judiciary itself should be suspected Oh
being prostituted to party purposes
By arresting large number of the prom.-
nent citizens in the different parishes, and
dragging them in chains for hundreds OF
miles from their homes to prisons, the kellogg
usurpation may achieve seeming triumph III
the election. But is this sufficient justlhca
ton. even in the minds of Republicans, for
the Ialpable violations of law, and the utter
want of legal grounds for such prosecutions
The members of the White League have
committed no crime for which they are justly
amenable to the laws of the United States,
nor can they ever be convicted under the zen
forcement act" They are not secret organl-
cations, nor are they combinations for unlaw-
full purposes. Under such circumstances the
prosecutions are sheer prosecutions for polltl-
cal purposes at the expense of the degrade
ton of the judicial department of the Gov
eminent.
We trust the President will not longer per-
mi, his Infatuated Attorney General to tyran-
nize over Louisiana.
