The correspondent of the New York Times

The correspondent of the New York Times
(RadicaD, writing from Natchitoches, La,
to that paper, Of the oath inst, says:
Our present majority in the South is but
fictitious Take away the carpet-baggers and
the negroes would not vote out the white men
of the country. Take away the soldiers, and
the carpet-baggers could not remain for mo-
ment. Hence our present attitude to the
South is despicable tyranny, and these very
acts of violence which we Complain of are in
great measure due to that alone.
1t is true that the Southern character is
hysterical, but that is consequence of the
food and climate, and it is not rendered less
prone to deeds Of violence by tyrannical
government. Things are done in Missouri
and in Indiana which must shock every one,
but we do not, therefore, take away the right
of self-government from them. The only
pretense TOR what we have done in Louisiana
is disloyalty to the Union, and that is lie
absolutely and in toto lie. The car
pet-baggers tell the United States
officers that they will be fred ON along the
Red River route, but everywhere they have
been treated with cordially, even with ex-
cessive friendliness. The reason is that the
people of Louisiana regard the soldiers of the
Government as friends and protectors. Every
where the same wish is breathed that the re-
suit of the election might be returned BY q
board of United States officers. In fact, tho
Terrebonne compromise is heartily disliked,
and the one cry is for board of oficer&
From them they are sure Of truthful returns.

THE EPISCOPAL CONGRESS-.

New YORK, Oct. 28.-The Committee on Canons
reported adversely to deaconesses.
The Texas dioceses have been divided into two
missionary districts, under the titles Of Northern
and Western. Bishop Alexander C. Garrett, of
Nebraska, will be Missionary Bishop for North
ern, and Bishop W. B. Elliott, of Georgia, Mis-
sionary Bishop Of Western Texas.
John II. D. Wing6eld, Of Petersburg, Va, was
appointed Missionary Bishop Of North Carolina
The Missionary Bishops were confirmed with
closed doors at P. NJ.
The Tribune says: Much sooner than was ex-
pected the contest on Ritualism came to q close
in the Episcopal Convention. The large major
ity given in favor Of the new Canon was probably
secured not by speeches and arguments during
the debate, but by the explanation Of the COM
mittee.
Their spokesman said that the canon, while
presenting mere opinion that certain ritualistic
acts and practices were of doubtful doctrine. BY
no means settled tho question or forbade the
acts, but simply paved the way for an investiga-
tion and trial whom they took place. The real
battle over ritualism is to be fought when their
cases come up for trial. The vital question is
thus postponed.
New YORK, Oct 2s.-The Episcopal Conven-
ton adjourns Saturday to meet three years
hence at Boston.

CHANCELLOR McCRAW On THE SITUATION.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 2S-Republican Chan.
cellOr McCraw, whose division embraces nearly
one-third Of the State, in q published letter.
says:
The chancery division over which preside
extends across the black belt into what are
known as the white counties, both in North and
south Alabama. Since the commencement OF
the.present political canvass Ihave held terms of
the chancery court in the various counties OF
Eastern Alabama, from the foot Of Sand Noun
tain, in North Alabama, to tho Florida line on
the south.
have been in constant communication as well
as personal contact with all the members Of the
bar and leading citizens Of both political parties,
all OF whom conversed freely and fully as to the
present status Of political affa re-. Ihaye been
present at gatherings CT the masses of all
colors, and have listened attentively to the
speakers on both sides. I am rejoiced to say
that do not know Of a single case Of outrage or
personal violence for opinion sake in all the
length and breadth Of this division, nor have
heard Of even one authenticated case.
/ have no hesitation in saying that citizens of
all colors and all political parties can fully and
freely express their political opinions just as,
and when and where, they please, without the
least fear OF any outrage or personal violence.
The outside world is deceived by the terrible pas
sion into which letter writer's and political editors
have dashed themselves. There is not county
in East Alabama in which any man-DemOcrat
Conservative, Republican or Radical-may not
publicly declare his sentiments with Is little fsar
OF molestation as in any State in all the broad
Union"

sued by certain court, but in reality to strike
blow at the rights of all naturalized citizens. by
illegally discriminating against them on false or
processes and consequences Of the laws Of the
United states, which from time immemoria, have
provided in suitable manner for the naturaliza-
ton Of well-affected and responsible aliens, and
tn If adoption by due forms Of law as citizens of
the United States, and not merely or only citi-
Zens OF any State thereof.
It is clear, therefore, that the Radical party in
Louisiana Is chargeable with q violation of the
fundamental law OF the country an outrage upon
the cherished rights of adopted citizens and a
corrupt procurement of pretended opinions of
usurping officers to give to their fraudulent oper-
atoms seeming color Of law. As naturalized
citizens we yield to none in our sincere devotion
to the laws OF the land. as they may be from time
to time enacted or expounded by persons compe-
tent and authorized; we spurn with contempt
the so-called opinion Of so-called Attorney GEN
eneral, elected by a so-called Governor to serve
the Infamous purposes Of an Odous usrrpation
On the I'd day of November next we propose
to present ourselves at our appropriate polling
places, and there and then deposit in the lawful al
only ballOt-bOx our votes along with our fellow
citizens, at all hazards, and in spite Of all unlaw
1ul opposition. AS matter of course we have
no use for double or duplicate ballot-boxes, nor
ballot-boxes divided by interior partitions, nor
will we permit any marks or stamps to be placed
on our ballots, nor will we tolerate any plan or
scheme whatever which is intended or viii serve
to draw any line or make any distinction between
our votes and those of our fellow-citizens,
whether for purposes Of count, challenge, con-
test, suit or any other real or pretended inten-
lion or object. We know very well what our
rights are, and, to quote Mr.. Fields language,
Is if we know ourselves" we are determined to
maintain them. Wait until the ides of Eovem-
