We print in another column letter from
Mr.. E.. Howard McCsleb, a prominent lawyer
in New Orleans, setting forth the hopeless
condition of the white people OF Louisiana,
under the infamous misrule OF the Kellogg
usurpation. As has been repeatedly shown IN
The World, the down-trodden citizens OF the
Pelican State can obtain no redress OF their
grievances at the ballot-box because OF the
Infamous election Inv, nor satisfaction Tor
their wrongs in the courts because they are
presided over by corrupt partisan judges.
They have appealed to the President and to
Congress in vain.
They have resorted to revolution and been
met with Federal bayonets. And now, having
exhausted all the means 1t their command TO
save themselves from virtual slavery and their
property from absolute con6scation, their case
seems to be perfectly hopeless: There is but
one hope left them, and that is that their fol-
low-citizens of other States, having become
acquainted with the results Of the Radical
misrule, corruption and oppression IN the
South will rally, as they assuredly will. to the
Democratic party Of Home Rule, which, alone,
can save to them what little the Radical cor
morants have lefty. Y. World, 9Th inst.

the condition OF affairs for the past two years,
and, as his speech proceeded, gradually be-
came more and more eloquent
He beTated the President and Congress for
their conduct with regard to the situation in
Louisiana, and commented severely upon the
Kellogg government. The Colonel's speech
was replete with good advice, and concluded
with felicitous reference to the fair sex.
Mr. E. L. Bower was then loudly called for
and made a very forcible and eloquent speech.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bowers speech,
Hon. B. c. Elliott being called tor. made
some well-timed remarks, and was loudly ap-
plauded. The meeting then adjourned.
