THE HISTORY OF LOUISIANA AFFAIRS

The statement made in the resolu~
ton of the New Orleans insurrec-
tiOnists, that the Senate of the United
States declared that Kellogg was not
elected Governor is not true. The
Kellogg Government has been in
power since last December. II has
been declared the legal Government
by the Lynch board OF canvassers of
the election returns, by the Circuit
Court Of the United States, and by
the District and Supreme Courts of
the State. On the 18th Of February
last, the President sent "A special
message to Congress, urging it to take
some final action on the Louisiana
case, telling it plainly that if it did
not there would probably be trouble,
and stating distinctly that having
recognized the Kellogg Government
he should {" feel obliged as far as / can
by the exercise Of legitimate authority,
to put an end TO the unhappy con
troversy which distuIbs the peace, and
prostrates the business Of Louisiana
by the recognition aud support Of that
Government which is recognized and
Upheld by the Courts of the State"
The Senate on February 9Th, refused
to take action on Carpenters bill, so
the matter rests with the action of the
President
Both the Kellogg and McEnery
parties charge corruption ln the cleo
dou upon each other. Blu. mo- matter
as 10 that, SO far as the present issue
is concerned. Penn, who assumes to
ac. i'm McEnery's place, resorts TO
force rather than To the courts, or to q
constitutional convention Having
resorted to arms, he can not complain
If he suffers thereby. The Presidents
foot is down, and his action should be
prompt, sharp and decisive. 1t Is
time the carnival Of crime was ended,
and some leading participants made TO
suffer the seycrest penalties Of the law.

feeling Of vague bodily discomfort, which
does not amount to positive illness and yet is in
compatible with health, is often aptly described
by tie phrase. ' Not very we'll" This feeling
usually arises from deficiency Of the nervous

chinery in vigorous and heaithful operation.
Nervous weakness las too frequently turned out

1--WE can not have peace at the South,
the Democratic party might as well throw
up the sponge; and yet how can we hope
for peace as long as the people are goaded
TO desperation by the policy of the Radical
machinery, which produces disorders for
the purposes of securing the plea for fresh
| legislation !-LOuisU.lLe COHrier-J Journal.
Is the simple proposal to pass law
pretext for instruction, murder and
anarchy? Even admit that the bill is
all the most incendiary Democratic
editor claims, is rebellion and kuklux-
ism the way to stop it? If the Civil
Rights Bill was the death-knell of Re
publicanism, why not let it quietly do
its work? If the South had kept down
its kukluX and White Leaguers, we
are of the opinion that the Democratic
party would have gained largely in the
coming elections. Why? Because the
mass Of Republicans are anxious for
peace and more fraternal relations be-
tween the sections. They don't care
about the Civil Rights Bill, but they
DO propose to have people who want to
favor such law protected in their
property and person, even where
they choose 10 advocate it publicly.
The South has lost a great opportunity
by this great outbreak of violence. 1t
has lost the chance to gain political
power, and IL has lost millions in its
material Interests. The simple pro-
position To pass a law which bait
nation believes TO be just, can never be
accepted as justification for violence.
The mislOrtunes Of the South, are that

ton Of p whole section.

LET US REASON TOGETHER.

We have conceded and expressed IL
as our opinion that any legislation on
the part of Congress looking to mixed
schools or mixed churches or mixed
anything else is pernicious. But the
misrepresentation that have been put
forth aoout the Civil Rights Bill have
been unparalleled in the history Of OPP
position to any legislation ever pro-
posed by any legislative body. People
have been taught to believe that it
compelled intermarriage of the races,
that it invaded the family circle and
compelled every boarding house to be
come a mixed establishment. They
have been told that it compelled a
white lady to accept black man as
an escort home from church and for
bid her refusing a proposal to marry.
All such terrible bugaboo stories have
been put out and are believed among
those who seldom read fair newspapers
until the public mind is ripe for just
such rebellions and war of races as is
now fragrant in Louisiana. The peo-
pie Of the North, whose contributions
from the very center of Radicalism
have just kept thousands from starry
ing in the very country now in rebel~
lion, have been pictured as monsters,
who desired the most abiect humilia.
ton of the Southern whites. The
gulf of hatred has been deepened and
widened by political demagogues for
partisan purposes, until we are on the
verge of anarchy and bloodshed d?
Is there any doubt as to its
origin. Has not the incendiary and
lying misrepresentation of this bill
put out by Democratic papers and cross
roads politicians, been the cause 3?
Every sensible man knows it. Every
manwhO desires the peace of the coun-
try and the restoration of fraternal feel
ings between the two sections deplOres
it. Such incendiary articles can do no
good. The North, that certainly hon
estly believe further legislation-to Sc
cure the equality Of the blacks before
the law-this and nothing more-ne-
cessary, knows that such misrepreseut-
ations Of their motives are for partisan
and sectional purposes aud it does not
change their notions of their duty.
Calm appeals to their reason can
affect more than murders and rebel
lion. The latter only serves to
create mistrust and alarm and
provoke the very legislation it
seeks 70 avoid. Gibson county
massacres and Louisiana rebellions
will not change their purpose, for
they are honest in their convictions,
and such resort to brute force can not
convert them, as the last rebellion
proves.
We deplore this violence and crime.
1t can do no good. IL hurts every one
Of us. Itiujures every business man
and every citizen interested in the
prosperity Of the South. For Gods
sake, let it stop Let undue political
agitation cease. Let demagogues take
back seats, and let the reason of the
people be appealed to. Bury these
passions that threaten to rock the con-
tinent in war, and let US reason
together as men having great interests
at stake.

REBELLION IN LOUISIANA.

The startling news we publish this
morning from Louisiana, may well
alarm every citizen throughout this
broad land. 1t is the first blow struck
amid the most intense excitement pre-
vailing throughout the Southern
States, and it is difficult now to tell
where It will end. Force has been re-
sorted to 10y an organization of men,
who evidently understand each other
and are prepared. That force is direc-
ted against a State Government, law
fully and peaceably exercising the func-
tions oflOcal Governmental Louisiana.
No matter for the present, what are
the merits Of the contest between the
adherents Of Kellogg and McEnery.
The President and Cabinet has recog-
nized the Kellogg Government as the
Government in authority in the State
of Louisiana, and therefore, it is
bound TO protect it. Gov. kellogg
has called upon the President for aid,
i'm compliance with tue provisions of
the Constitution of the United States,
and under that call the President had
a clear duty to perform. He has issued
his proclamation calling upon the in
surgents to disperse within five days
The position Of affairs is, then, simply
this and nothing more: The White
Leaguers of Louisiana are arrayed in
arms against the Government of the
United States. 1t is not difficult to tell
what the final result will be, though it
may be hard to tell just how long it
will take to reach the end. Rebellion
against the authority of the Govern
ment can result in defeat and complete
overthrow now as it did in 1865. The
White Leaguers OF Louisiana have
mistaken their time. Their al
legged grievance is, that the KEEL
logg government seized arms
shipped to private citizens. It will be
remembered that some days ago the
telegraph reported the Seizure of large
numbers Of arms, packed in shoe box
es, and otherwise concealed, destined
for the White League. We do not
now pretend to say what the exact
facts are concerning these arms, but
in view Of the present alarming de-
monstration, it is evident that they
intended for violence.
We DO not look upon this outbreak
from a partisan standpoint. Politically
speaking it can have but one effect.
But We look upon it as men having
interest in the peace aud prosperity Of
the South, and to all such it means
confusion, prostration Of the matel ial
interests of this section, q blight upon
the prospect of the South, the evil eff
fects Of which it is hard now to
measure.

MAYNARD's CHANCES to 90 tc Con-

ton of affairs throughout the South,
make the people feel the necessity Of
having a Governor who can be relied
upon in all emergencies.

THE PRESIDENTS ORDER to Gen.
Emory shows distinctly that there il
no intention Of giving one inch to the
Louisiana insurgents, This is not the
time 10 discuss their wrongs. They
have taken unlawful means to redress

course for the President 10 pursue.
We have a Government and Its laws
must be upheld and its authority
enforced, or we win have
anarchy and violence everywhere.
We have no sympathy with bad men,
whether Republicans or Democrats,
whether in Louisiana, or Kentucky, or
New York; and our best wishes will
always encourage iaw-abiding men
legally coutendiug against bad govern
ment. If such There be I'm Louisiana,
there are well defined remedies open.
But men who disregard laws and defy
the authority of the Government. so
long as they maintain that attitude,
can never receive encouragement from
US. Gen. Grant, in his determination
to crush this rebellion in the bud, will
receive the support Of good citizens

may be.

men, and we hope that tonight the citizens
OF Memphis viii as heartily indorse that
work as a few days since they condemned
unwarranted disorder and bloodshed in
our own State.-ippeai.
What is it that the people of Mem
phis are called upon to endorse? 1t is
an instruction for the purpose of
breaking down the recognized State
Government Of Louisiana. It's of the
same character as the firing upon Fort
Sumter, and may possibly lead to
similar results. The men who want
this insurrection " heartily endorsed"
are the same who threw up their hats
and became wild and maddened with
excitement when Major Anderson
and his little band of soldiers were
fired upon in April, 1861. The people
of East Tennessee, almost with one
accord, stood by the Government then,
and they will sustain President Grant
now
