THE COUSHATTA ARRESTS.

| A special to the Times from Minden states
that number OF citizens OF Coushatta were
arrested on the 18th by a United States mar
shall, accompanied by body of Federal
troops.
| That these arrests have been made lust a,
| this time for the purpose Of intimidating the
white people, can not be doubted. The Cou-
shatta riot, which terminated in the killing OF
six carpet-baggers and scalawags, occurred
two months ago, and though the arrest of any
parties implicated in or suspected of the kill
ing could have been made by the civil al-
thorities weeks since, the movement was made
with Federal troops, under Federal authority,
to startle and intimdate the white people, and
delayed until this late day that the country
might not recover from that intimidation be-
fore the election.
If the purpose of these arrests was to bring
offenders to justice, why have not the Federal
authorities arrested Weber and Swaze in
West Feliciana, for melting a riot there? Why
did they not arrest Register and Ward. and
other Radicals accused of melting the Colfax
riot? And while they are arrestirg the white
citizens of Coushatta, why do they not arrest
the negroes who are charged with provoking
the trouble in Red River parish =?
1t has bad, nay, a most infamous and
wicked appearance for the Federal Govern
ment to arrest only the political opponents of
the President and his State Government who
are accused Of participation in riots, when all
the known facts as deeply, if not far more
deeply, implicate the carpet-bag, scalawags
and negro leaders. Such proceeding could
not take place in Russia; for though that Gov
ernment is despotism, it is systematic one,
bearing upon all men and all classes alike. 1t
is only under the government OF the American
Republic or vicious personal despotism,
such as Turkey, that such partisan tyranny
could be displayed.
The horrible character of this proceeding
can be better realized when we state that the
hardships and injustice to which the Grant
parish prisoners were subjected by the Fed
eral officers and courts have made those Off
Gals and courts a terror to our people,
and many will abandon their homes and crops
to ruin and flee the State, innocent though
they be, rather than risk Federal justice. The
negroes, too, whose bad passions have been
aroused by the carpet-baggers, will grow in
solent and defiant, and, in parishes like Red
River, the white women and children will be
subjected to horrors we shrink from contem-
plating.
The Inauguration of system Of arrests or
of intimidation iu this section of Louisiana
at this time by Federal authority with Federal
troops, is most dastardly and barbarous piece
Of business, and should damn. in the opinion
of the civilized world, all connected with it,
from the miserable creatures who act as Uni
ted States marshals, up to the President him
self. -ShrerepoJt Times, 10Th inst.
