The Louisiana Election.

In everything butts Color Lineism, the
platform of the Louisiana Reformers, is a
good one. Notwithstanding this objectiona.
bic feature, they have our earnest wishes
for their success in their struggle against
the Kellogg thieves. The omens are all
favorable The last census shows mere
nominal difference in the numbers of
the two races. The colored people on
whom the usurpers rely, are ncensed
against the Kellogg administration, and
the white men who compose it, are divided
among themselves. In their late conven-
ton, Pinchback, the leader Of the colored
voters, made this allegation:
/ tell him, (Kellogg), however, I am
on the war-path, and, be l admitted as
Senator or not, | hold in my hands the
Gubernatorial crown, for if ever l open
my mouth, under oath, TO Congress aud
the country, and tell them how this gov
eminent was set up by the Kellogg, Dur
rell, Packard an Norton conspiracy.
supported by such men as Carter, Billings
and Others, who were present during all
the arrangements for the conspiracy, this
King William, the promiser, in the mo.
mentus issue of the coming Presidential
wi have to go under, for the
Republican party can't survive the moral
indignation Of this country, if ever the
true history of this Louisiana usurpation
is made known.
With their house thus divided against
itself, and a united opposition, the Kellogg
usurpers must inevitably go to the wall.
At the last election the Reformers with a
Fusion ticket and an anti-color line plat
form carried the State by 10, 900 majority.
No doubt if the same conservative policy
had been pursued in the present election,
a victory would have been assured by
larger majority.

contradistinction to the well-timed

In contradistinction to the well-timed
and proper resolutions of the colored peo-
pie at Summit, Brookhaven, jackson and
other places, declaring their desire for
peace and goodwill between the races.
we reproduce the following revolutionary
declarations which have emanated from
persons of no particular color, but claim
ing to be representatives Of the blacks.
They will serve as finger boards TO warn
the colored masses against the road des-
ignated by these creatures whose leader
ship, if followed, will carry them to per-
dition.
For example, T. W. Cardozo, Missis-
sippi State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, now under committal for
trial for offences against the laws of the
State, writing to the Washington Era.
says
Better that the whole State of Ten
nessee should be reduced to ashes than the
Civil Rights bill should fail"
What more revolutionary sentiment
could be expressed than is conveyed by
these words of Cardozo?
Another place man of the same stripe,
in South Carolina-one A. s. Wallace
speaks in this strain to his colored constit-
uents
your rights are in peril, and you
must defend them. If you don't get them
at the ballot-b box you must resort to the
cartridge box"
And then another mischief-maker
named Oscar Williams, speaks as follows
to a colored audience in Tennessee
l am going to have my civil rights if
have to ride in the blood of the whites up
to my bridle-bits; and pointing to the
academy we will have our children on top
if it sinks every white child in Fayette
county into hell.
We need not describe the feelings
aroused by such fendish utterances.
We have quoted them to say to the col
ored people, that the sooner they rid them
selves of the leaders who are teaching
these evil lessons the better will
it be for both races, and more
especially their own. Let us have more
quiet and less buster. ''Ashes" and
Cartridge boxes" are not needed.

The state Conventions last week

Last week was good time for conven-
tons in other States. The Ohio Democ-
racy adopted superb platform endorsing
Pendletonism, declaring for more green
back currency, economical administration
and against mixed schools.
The Illinois Democracy declared
against expansion-in favor of gold and
silver (Which simply means State banks
and wild cat money)-for paying the
Eastern bondholders and usurers in specie
and were silent about civil rights.
The Missouri Democracy nominated c.
NJ. Hardin for Governor-adOpted a
platform similar to the Ohio declaration
declared against mixed schools, but
took occasion properly to announce them
selves . in favor of as liberal system of
" education for the black of for the white
people.
The Pennsylvania Democracy declared
for hard money and the payment of the
bondholders in gold instead of greenbacks
and against mixed schools.
Conventions of the Republicans were
heldin Michigan, Kansas and New Jersey.
They pledge themselves to economical
and honest administration in general
terms. The first intimates strong incli-
nation towards expansion, declared
vaguely for civil rights; and they all ON
inously pretermit the mixed school and
third term questions.

Capt. " r. Fitzgerald.

In mentioning we'll deserved tribute
to the late Mrs. O'Connor, an old, re-
spected resident of our city, and mother
of our esteemed feilow-townsnan Capt.
W. F. Fitzgerald, the Vicksburg Times
says:
In another column will be found a
touching tribute to the memory of the
late Mrs O'Connor, mother of Capt.
VIM. F. Fitzgerald, President of the
State Hibernian Aid Association of Mis-
sissippi We are informed that the cleo
ton of her son to the honora bic position
which he occupies was a source of no lit
tie pride and Qualification the venerable
lady, who was at the time OF the recent
meeting of the Association, writhing
upon a bed of pain and from which she
was finally borne by mourning friends to
the silent tomb. 1t must be gratifying to
the many friends of Capt Fitzgerald to
know that through their action the last
hours of his suffering mothers exi,tence
on esrth were frightened by high hopes
for the future of her son, suggested by
the honor conferred upon him by his fell
low-cOuntrymen.

Indignation Meesin<a s 7Resnphi-

Sooner than we expected, the race issue
is bringing its bloody fruits. The Tren-
ton (Tennessee) massacre is but the
beginning. A public meeting was held
at Memphis on Friday, in which many of
the best-known citizens, among the num-
Der, Ex President Davis, Ex-Gov. Har-
ris, EX-Judge of the Supreme Court,
Archibald Wright, and Gen. Forrest took
part-to express Indignation at the horri-
bic barbarity Mr. Davis remarks are
copied IN the next column; Ex-Gov. Har-
ris' speech was of a similar import Judge
Wright. offered the resolutions adopt
ed by the meeting-the closing two Of the
series were as follows:
Resolued, That we have read the ac-
counts of these horrible crimes with the
most intense pain and regret, aud that it
is the sense Of this meeting that they acre
perpetrated without the least cotor or excuse.
Resolued, As the sense of this meeting,
that we fear very much that the colored
people in that county, in the late troubles
in that county, were inclined by the coun-
sells Of bad mem for political effect, ami
that we feel no hesitation In denouncing
ls1tch cOaalsets STIR up stTJe and troubles,
come from lehat quarter they may
These resolutions assert that the MUIR
der was committed without the ''least
color Of excuse" A correspondent sent
by the Appeal to investigate the causes
leading to it, states /" that the most dill
g gent search found only five armed AT
" ricans together" The unfortunate
negroes were undoubtedly the victims of
a remorseless, misguided passion, begot-
ten in part by their own ignorance and
folly, which were but too successfully
played upon by corrupt and designing
white men, who took themselves out of
harms reach. In his speech before the
meeting, Gen. Forrest speaking as prac-
tically as he always acts when deeds and
not words are needed, expressed his read
mess to hunt the murderers and bring
them to justice. The Governor of the
State has offered $500 0Oreward for each
Of them, and the hope is that they W. lie |

Letters from the People.

Here il an extract of a letter from a
Mississippian who has never failed the
South in defense of her cause;
Your views on the Color Line" topic,
in current politics, as they are expressed
in The CLARION, strike me as wise and
consistent. | am at loss to understand
how an advocate of Greeley's election to
the Presidential office, can now consent
to a white mans party, or any party
having the object to exclude negroes from
their political rights, or remodel the con-
stitution TO that end.
Ii fears are entertained of any race
collision, then l think the whites, in To-
calities, should be always ready with quiet
organizations to aid the officers ofthe law.
Selfprotection might demand this; with
cautious, prudent leaders, who would use
their powers to preUent rather than pre-
cipitafe a conflict But such organiza-
tons should be wholly separate aud dis
tinct from politics.
| regard it as wrong to seek TO take
away the political rights of any class OF
citizens An advocate of this course
would be more logical TO advise a total
change of the government into one refus-
ing suffeage to all citizens white and
black.
Another conservative citizen and in
flexible Democrat, though not a politi-
clan, man held in high esteem and
possessing good opportunities of knowing
public sentiment-sends us these words:
write few lines to express my earn
est approval, and think that of most of
the thinking men of this communicate
your article in last CLARION in reply to
an inquiry of the Iuka Herald. The x =
does not reflect the opinions of the most
substantial citizens who desire peace and
3 quiet, but of course wish no sacrifice of
principle or self-respect in dealing with
the colored people.
