Louisiana Redeemed =

The full account which we publish
this morning Of the rout Of Kellogg,
and lis forces, "horse foot and dra-
goons," and tho glorious restoration Of
the government Of oppressed louisa
M to its rightfnl officers, has sent a
thrill Of joy to every manly heart and
raised n shout Of cxultatiou that is
now cchoing and resounding through
out the length and breadth Of her fer
tile but desolatcd borders. Her sons
are now for the first time in twelve
years breathing tho air Of freedom,
that is us fragrant and delightful as the
breezcs Of "Araby the Blessed" All
lnil to redeemed Louisiana! All hon
or to her sons Of New Orleans for their
heroic battle for her rights!
1t remains now to be seen whether
the military forces Of the United States
government will again interfere to re
seat the usurpcr, Kellogg, or whether
they will permit Louisiana, to do what
Texas, and Arkansas did and, allow
US to retain our rightful
government. The government Of Lou
isiana is to daydc .facto and until its
de j,,re claims are a1judicatcd upon by
Congress, it entitled to have and
hold its present position. The issue
is now forced upon President Grant,
and the responsibility as tho odium is
his il ho interfcrcs. Let him hold of
and tho question is settled. A happy
feature Of the movement, and one from
which we derive no small encourage
mcnt, is that the negroes arc not mixed
up ut all will, it. Only one negro was
killed and he was killed by an explo-
sion III the armory while held by the
Kellogg forces. All the rights Of the
colored people arc guaranteed to them
and if they are wise they will join their
fortunes with ours in this contest for
good government.
'rhe Presidents proclamation was
intended to deal with condition Of
affairs shat docs not exist any longer
and does not commit him to either side
Of the controversy. 1t may rs well, and
in fact, does not command the Kellogg
side to cease it's opposition to our gov
eminent for it is now de ,facto. There
was to be Cabinet meeting on Wed
tuesday, to decide upon some course Of
action which, was rot then decided.
We argne favorably from this, it is SO
unusual not to have tho decision
against us Mt once.

John A. Williams, ESQ.,, Chairman
Erecutiue Committee
DEAR S1R-I am in receipt Of yours
OF the 9Th inst, informing me of my
nomination on the Legislative ticket.
No more astonishing information
could have been conveyed to me. and
at first, for reasons which would oc.
cupy too much space here, I was
fixed in my determination not to &C.
cept. But after consultation with
many f4iends, I have concluded that
as the burden must be borne by some
citizen, it is perhaps no heavier for
me than for either of the gentlemen
associated with me on the ticket.
In this dark hour of our history l
do not know that any Of us have the
right to shirk any burden that may
be imposed by our fellow. citizens in
the struggle for the Identification Of
our State, therefore returning thanks
to the Convention for this unexpect-
ed and unsolicited mark of conf
dcnce, l accept their nomination, and
in connection with my colleagues
hope to see most Of my fellow-citi-
zens before the day Of election.
/ shall, it elected, use all the power
that in me lies, to redeem the State
from it's present condition Of misrule
and corruption. Aud will cheerfully
join hands with honest men of all
parties to that end. It is natural
for me to be conservative in politics,
aud whilst am the Candidate of
the Peoples Party, standing square
ly on their platform, I solicit the
votes Of al who desire to see a re-
turn to honest government. and to
see law justly and strictly enforced
and administered, guaranteeing to
every citizen, whether white or black,
all the rights conferred upon him by
the laws Of the land.
Hoping that we are upon the eve
of q better day for our oppressed
State, I am Sir,
Very Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
JAMES JEFFRIES.
