!. The, startling "a i news IN this morn lori
|ingis kilograms will convince
you that he las not overdrawn
the picture. The terrible con-
dition OF affairs in Louisiana and
the South is: attributed to re-
construction. Gov. Hendricks, in
bis speech last night, says: "Du-
ring the war, when the Southern
men were off in the field, there were
no instructions; the colored people
preserved the peace at home;" and
he might have added, took care Of
the defenseless woman and children,
and thereby proved to the world
that they we're the most docile, pa
tient and harmless people on the
face Of the earth What they were
then they are now. II will be OBJ
served that in every report Of riot,
outrage aud murder that comes
from the South, these poor suffer-
ing people are the victims; not con-
tent with the outraging and killing
Of our people as a means Of intimi-
dation, they now propose to starve
them. The leading Democratic
journal Of New Orleans, in referring
to tho employment Of colored peo-
pie says:
every housekeeper, in the regu-
lation of her domestic affairs; every
merchant in the selection Of his en-
ployes; every drAyman in the choice
,of his drivers; every common car
rier in hiring his hands: every as
sociation and organization, Of what
ever character, every department Of
trade, every branch Of industry,
must legislate for the safety ofLou-
isiana and. the existence of the
white race"
The scenes being enacted !: =; . New
Orleans to-day, which are disgrace
to the civilization of the age and q
national reproach, are fostered and
encouraged by the apologetic tone
Of the northern democracy. when
speaking Of what they are pleased
to term Southern troubles These
gentlemen must be either mad or
incompetent for leadership Or they
would not fail to rightly interpret
the temper Of the northern mind
in reference to- sheseiAatters. If the
dictates of humanity do not appeal
to them to remove forever
THESE FUu1 DLoTs

should think that the highest party
considerations demand that they
put their condemnation upon such
practices. Iagreo fully with Gov.
"We cannot, VIC must not, go on
this direction. The welfare of
our country calls for a change. Men
must be placed in power who will

Influences; who will stand honestly
