held at Bteaux Bridge Immediately afte,
the arrival Of United States troops in the
parish of st. Martin. 1t says:
The meeting turned out to be a solemn
and determined protest against the Presi
dents interference in the domestic and
local affairs of our State The speakers al
advocated the policy and our right of never
suffering or permitting these fellows in eul
midst, and of recognizing their title tt
office only when compelled by actual force
and by the presence OF United States forces
The enthusiastic responses and applause o1
Tie hearers to all such sentiments demon
strate the fact that they will not be suf
tered one minute after the departure o1
their armed escorts.
The Shreveport Times of tho same date
has few remarks on the approaching crisis
1t we lose, we lose everything. The
triumph of the Radicals in November in
sures the permanency of the Kellogg
usurpation; it means. too, the persecution
OF the taxpayers of the State with renewed
energy, and the ultimate Authorization OF
Louisiana or the annihilation of the negro
power through blood We paint no fancy
picture. The history Of Martinique, of San
Domingo and Jamaica illustrates tho truth
of what we say. 1t We are beaten in this
election, the whites will have either to
abandon the State or resort to arms, ave. to
a fierce war upon the negroes to protect
themselves and their property. The North.
ern fools who are urging on this issue by
encouraging the organization of the negroes
against tho whites know nothing of the ma.
tive brutality OF the negro, nor Of the des.
perate straig ghts to which the whit. q are
driven, nor Of the terrible crisis they are
urging en-a crisis which troops can not
control, because troops can not control des-
perate men who are resolved to venture
their lives to redress their wrongs.
There are two other classes who do not
seem to comprehend these things-a small
class of white men who refuse to register
and aid their people in carrying the election
and avoiding this crisis, and the negroes
who are again rallying to the support of
the thieves they have put in power and
thus invoking upon their heads . terrible
and bloody retributiOn.
The Southern Cross, Of Marksville, the
paper of faithful temper and beautiful
writings, has the following words:
After the armistice is over we do not
know what position may be taken by those
in power. We know tull we'll there is no
love between them and the people, and our
experience Of the past teaches us they will
undertake to override US az they have
already done, and the White Leaguers
should be ready for any action that may be
demanded by the people.
This is either q Republican government
or it is satrapy. At present it is satrapy.
Let the people, therefore, never lose single
opportunity left chem to convince the other
States that this is such, and let Us lose NO
opportunity OF getting rid of the satraps.

throughout every parish. We do not in
this propose to work any injury TO the col

the colored man will be lost, and then our
eolored friends, seeing that we are their
own true friends, will cooperate with us.
as many are now already beginning to do.
Already the sensible people Of the North,
who have hitherto been gulled BY the living
tales that have been shOwered upon them,
begin to realize that the governments Of
Louisiana is an outrage. q military govern
ment. exercised over conquered people
for selfish ends, and the reaction thus pro-
duced will fall heavily upon the third term

mis- shoulders q burden that he is unable
to bear, he will cast it from him. Its
weight will rest upon the usurpers, which
we believe will crush them 80 completely
that they will never again be able to make
An exertion, and our State will be tree.
But we must be ever watchful and on the
alert. We must ever be ready for any
occasion that presents itself.
''Thers is tide in the affairs of men,
which taken at the food, leads on to for.

Let not the White Ieaguers dsband,
but rather let them be ready for the tide
Let them be ready to take it ct the food,
and the bark will glide smoothly and
gracefully to the shores where fortune deals
out her manifold gifts.
The Iindicator of Natchitoches is still
and defiant:
We hear no more OF the ''troops are COM

Of the chiefs, which but week since
blushed at the pride of the interference of
the federal army. begin to pale at the long
delay. Our people are quiet, more so than
for long time, but they are still deter.
mined not to submit to the rule of the men
who have heretofore presumed to lord it
here. The McEnery officers are in posses
sion and will only yield to the demand of
the federal authorities. From the manner
in which some of our warnings have been
received, it seems that some of the Radicals
here think we have all along been joking
this is serious mistake on their part. They
should remember that revolutions never go
backward. And we have this to say, that
United States troops can put in the Kellogg
thieves, but they can not keep them there.
The Shreveport Come. of the nineteenth
Instant, in an article called "Our Opinion"
gives gentle specimen Of Red river White
League litera ture. 1t is profane and vulgar,
md all that sor. Of thing. but is given "a d
pecimen of argument used by bad men in
bad cause. Tho Comet says:
While we are willing, and always have
)een, to give to the negro everything he
reeds and should have to make him happy,
rec and contented. we are not. and never
will be, in favor of his ruling the State OF
louisiana any longer, and we wear by the
eternal Spirit that rules the universe We
will battle against it to the day of our death,
it costs us prison OF gallows.
