The best campaign issues to the people
since the firing on Fort Sumter, has been sup
piled by the citizens of Louisiana by their re-
cent rebellion. 1t is an unans werable, over
whelming, and most eloquent argument in
favor Of the continuance in power of the Re-
publican party. 1t leaves them not rea-
sonable doubt that the only alternative given
them is the maintenance of the principles en-
bodied in the various reconstruction meas
ures of Congress. or their overthrow, the
practical restoration of slavery, and the ami
hilation of justice and equal rights at the
South by the triumph of the rebel democracy.
TO suppose they will hesitate in the ensu-
ing elections to vote for the Republican
ticket would be an insult to their intelligence,
and gross impeachment of their patriotism.
If the rebels had been in the pay of the Con-
sressional Republican committee, they could
not have more eflectually aided them IN their
efforts to convince the people of the danger
that threatens the nation from the return to
power Of the party which is so bent on its
ruin,

when it hunted the fleeing slave
in the streets of Boston, and murdered the
peaceful pioneer on the plains Of Kansas, or
mobbed and outraged American citizens be-
cause Of their opinions.
The Republican party has antecedents
that can but commend Il to every patriotic
citizen, while in the present it stands asthe
antagonist Of the evils for which the Demo-
cratic party is responsible. It accepts the
teachings of the Declaration Of Independence.
A Republican President uses his power to
protect from the outrages Of Democratic
rebels the friends Of the Union in the South.
The antecedents Of the Republican party
its present attitude in relation to vital inter-
ests Of the nation, make it pre-cminentiy the
party for patriotic citizens to support.

The Detroit Post directs the public attcn-
ton to a "white man's' government, pure
and simple, in Louisiana, where they have
always had white mans government. where
the Republicans have never ruled-except
once, and that once will long remain in his
tory as the best rule the place ever had.
That place is the city Of New Orleans. But,
under the Democratic white mans govern
ment, New Orleans is the most heavily taxed,
the worst ruined, the worst governed place
In the whole State. Its city taxes, imposed
by its white mans government, are enor-
nous. Its city credit, based on its white mans
government, is almost worthless. All its
city officers, except one, are Democrats.
City warrants, with which the Republican
State government has nothing to do, are sold
for fifteen to twenty cents on the dollar. Its
city debt has been enormously increased.
And yet its streets, its wharves, its improve
ments, are neglected, dilapidated, dirty, I'M
cared for. A correspondent who has been
carefully inquiring into things, says oft:
Business is dead here houses and stores
are for rent everywhere, and property is so
cheap that it astonishes me. A man can buy
business block on principal street for what
he could not rent it per year in Chicago.
The exposition building, which cost $4,000
few years ago, and is in good condition, was
sold the other day, with the ground it stands
on, for $4,000. City warrants are quoted at
thirty cents on dollar in the market reports,
but Pm told you can buy them for fifteen Or
twenty cents. And yet this is "a white mans
government" The administration of the city
Of New Orleans is and always has been Dem
ocratic. The reason that New Orleans does
not prosper is not because it has carpet-bag
government; is not because the 'niggers'
rule. People can draw their own differences.
There is a portion of this State where the
'niggers' do rule; where taxes are lower and
prosperity is more apparent there than else
where. am going up there pretty soon to
see why it is"

Southern Violence and Di sI0 atty.

In Senator Conkling's brief, but very bril-
publican Convention, he drew so graphic and
truthful picture Of the sentiments and pur
poses of Southern "whltc men," as to be
recognized by every one at glance. His
analysis OF the situation there is as correct
as it is eloquent, and his explanation Of the
real difficulty is go clear and discriminating
that no candid man will deny Its entire JUS
tice. He charged that these troubles of
which they complain, whether great or small
and which have been pretext for open re-.
from the lamentable and suicidal arms of the
rebels themselves. When the armies of the
Confederacy surrendered, every Southern
man could vote, as Mr.. Conkling states, and
they could all have taken part in rebuilding
their shattered interests. They were denied
the right to hold office, but they had the privi-
lege of petitioning Congress for the removal
of this disability, and no one who has asked
has ever been refused. But even this was
regarded as an insult and an af1ront too
grievous to be borne. They set to work to
make the worst Of their affairs. They refused
to aid in electing reliable men to the Legis-
lature. They tried to deter capable men
from taking hand in the work Of restoration.
Social Ostracsm, persecution, insult and
even murder. arson, and every form of vlo-
lence were brought to bear to prevent all
who sympathized with secession from joining
in to restore order and prosperity to the pros
trated States. Their avowed purpose was to
leave everything to the "carpet-baggers
and ''niggers" in order to bring such odum
on reconstruction that the disguised North
would give them back the power they lost by
the rebellion. They have failed so far, but
they have brought great evils upon them
selves. Ignorantmen, weak and venal men,
have seized the opportunity to work their
way to places Of power and trust. The
rebels. groaning under the injuries they have
inflicted upon themselves, are trying to reme-
dy them by the same violence and bloodshed
which brought all these evils upon them.
But this plot against good government by
which, with short-sighted cunning, the rebels
tried to exc out their unsuccessful rebellion,
is surely destined to fail as the rebellion of
which it is the supplement

The charge that tie cOlored Metropolitans

The charge that tie colored Metropolitans
ran at the first fire islnqualifedly false; and
if any evidence is rquired to prove it, the
number of colored mn who fell in the fight
on last Monday abunantly attest their valor.
In Our next issue we will publish an accurate
account Of Monday, fight, from reliable
eyewitness, and we nggest a careful perusal
OF the same by those tho are disposed to dis
credit negro courage Lomisianidn.
We did not belevahe charge when it was
made. Colored men have exhibited as much
courage as other RAGS in warlike conflicts,
but ten thousand wellarmed men opposed to
few hundred, in all he likelihoods Of such
case, would be abb to rout the few bum

There is overwhelming evidence, and it is
every day accumulatng, that the Louisiana
outbreak was the fist step in a great con-
spracy. Information was received here, i"
says the Atlanta (Gs.) Constitution, "nearly
a week ago, that sud- was the plan of the
white people of louisiana, and that it would
be enforced" And the New Orleans Bull
letin frankly gives the motires for the rebellion
when it declares, as most other rebel papers
declare, that this government was made
by white men, for TIL benefit of of white men
and their posterity, ind should be admins
tered by white men, ind none Others" All

Republican Economy.

During the seven years from December /.
1866 to December !, 1873, the Republican
party reduced the annual taxes of this coun
try from 1858, 032, Go to 1898, SO, 2O4; being
total reduction of Two Hundred and Tw en-
ty millions. During the same time the regu-
lar expenditures were reduced from $500, $780,
$40 to $500, 345, 245, being a reduction of
Two Hundred and Thirty millions. This re-
duction enabled the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau to reduce its force of employees from
$500 to 1888, being reduction of over Five
Thousand, saving a million dollars annually
in salaries. AT the last session of Congress
alone the appropriations were reduced nearly
Twenty-seven millions.
The national debt. March l, 1869, four
days before President Grant entered upon
the duties of his high office, was 80, 525 ,463.-
26oOl; July l, 1874, So, l43 ,Oss, 241. lC, show
ing decrease in five years of 1882, 375 ,OIs. s5.
In 1869 the annual interest on the debt was
sl2I 1885, In 1874 il was 500, 1913 ,OO4. IA.
showing a decrease of the yearly expendi-
lures for that object of s27 ,593 ,54a.56. In
May, 1869, the treasury purchased its own
bonds, it the par value Of 800 for the sinking
fund was at the rate of 81 72-lOO gold. The
market rate of the same bonds in September.
1874, is lO45 a rise Of 2jl per cent. In March.
1869, gold was at apremium of 32 per cent;
in September, ls74,9g per cent. The appro-
priations of 1874 we're reduced 500, 900 900.
and thus further Ivy of taxation in time
Of general embarrassment was prudentlv

JlNrh Ado about Nothing.

The terrific clamor raised by the rebel and
"independent' press, and SO greedly re-
echoed by many Republican papers in regard
to certain fees discovered to have been paid
by Gov. Kellogg, of Louisiana, to Hon. B.
F. Butler, Caleb Cushing, and Senator Car
nenter. y Trcvrv-Sa---~ -.L:---,-
1t turns out that these fees were paid by
Gov. Kellogg out Of his own pocket for legti-
mate and perfectly proper professional adj
vice. There is not a shadow of bribery and
corruption connected with the transaction.
The service for which these gentlemen were
retained and paid were nothing more nor less
than defense of his personal suit. Now,
that the whole matter is understood, it is ad.
mtted by all fair-minded men that there is
not a thing unprofessional or dishonest in the
conduct of the gentlemen named. 1t is not
strange that the rebel conspirators who stole
Gov. kellogg's private correspondence upon
this subject should attempt to use it to the
injury of loyal men. But it is strange that
decent Republican papers should make such
haste to aid them in their villainous scheme.
