If, therefore, an election bulletin shall
go forward with skull and cross bones
headings, displaying the competitive
number of negroes killed at the several pre-
cincts or Boosting the capture Of the bal
lot boxes by force Of arms as precau-
tionary measure, the feeling Of Congress
may be changed. 1t no doubt seems to
white Lacquer Of ST. Landry that all
America understands the Gallo tongue,
and will be greatly influenced by the re-
suits at the precincts of the Courtableau
or Grand Coteau. Quite the contrary.
Any act of violence committed by this local
majority moy discourage the friends of
Louisiana in Congress and strengthen the
hands of her opponents. All know that
Congress has been divided between the
Quaker and Gustav policies of dealing
with refractory enemies of the republic.
There is no possibility that any act of
war will be declared against Louisiana,
but a series of Ku-Klux trials, the armed
occupation Of turbulent localities and the
arrest of appropriations for levees and
canal are among the possibilities of an in
tolerant warfare upon the labor and suf-
frage of those whom the people of the
United States have declared the political
equals Of all other American citizens. The
colored people have friends. They are
the friends OF uniform political rights.
The delay of the civil rights bill is no
evidence Of abandonment of the recon-
struction act. There may be Republicans
at the North and West who may deem the
civil rights bill an invasion of the very
right they seek to guarantee, but there is
no Republican anywhere who will stand
by and see, without remonstrance, the
legal and political rights of the colored
people defeated or withheld
We address men to whom the prosperity
and order of Louisiana is of more conse-
quence than an Office or a chance of Office
under the Slate government. How are
our crops to be made without negro labor?
Should the nation grant the money to
construct the Fort St. Philip canal, where
can the labor be commanded if the White
Leaguers drive all the negro labor out of
the State? Is there any other labor in
the world which can so well endure the
climate and the trials of mud and NOS
luitoes upon that work?
We repeat that those White Leaguers
are SO crazy upon the subject of Office as
not to perceive that if their purpose to
lrive the negro out of employment they
would defeat even the payment of their
OWN salaries. Really, those who claim to
De ''the people Of Louisiana" but who |
propose to send our labor to make cotton |
or Galveston and St. Louis should be
alled to- The Fort st. Philip canal
promises to promote greatly our interests. !
is prospects are good for favorable con-
liberation by Congress. Shall we, by an
insane war upon labor, pervert the favor
# Congress into hostility, and drive away
be only labor which could execrte the
work. if it be given US?

OUR CANAL AND ITS PROSPECTS,

Hon. Mr.. Sheldon is reputed to predict
the success of the canal at the next ses-
sion Of Congress. We trust it may be SO.
But has Mr.. Sheldon taken into consider
alton the intolerant resistance to the laws
OF the United States as contemplated in
the White League. If it shall appear
that the rations granted by Congress have
been employed to nourlsh an inward de-
termination to exclude the majority of
federal voters from exercising the hight
guaranteed them by Congress, will the
same kindly feeling animate Congress
when it assembled as when it adjourned?
We may grant, that under the suave assu-
RANGES of Messrs. the commercial dele
gates ofNew Orleans, whose words were all
fraternity, and whose speech was solely of
excavation, embankment and rations, Con-
gress was disposed to DO a just and kindly
act by New Orleans. But will it be Just
to these gentlemen to show that there was
really no good will toward the govern
ment? That at the moment they were
ringing the bells of Senators, soliciting an
audience for the lamentable overflow and
distractions, there was an organization to
drive out of employment, or even out of
existence, the majority Of the voters Of
Louisiana We submit, that this will
place Messrs. Sandidge and Hebert and
Forshey in humiliating position before
the next Congress if il be deemed neces-

ARROGANT PTGTTTVES.

The telegraph informs US that tie
deputy sheriff Of Columbia, Georgia, ar
rested four co!orei men on the ''ehargs Of
riotoUs conduct"
After proceeding some Gistarce .he ,ris.
oners attempted to escape. when they were
fired on and killed. The coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict Of iustiiabIe homicide.
We can not pronounce on the nature OF
the offanse attributed to these men with
out better knowledge of facts, but there
Is 10 known principle of law upon which
a man forfeits his life for attempting an es-
cape from charge Of having committed
an ofense. Society might tol crate the
killing OF murderer taken red handed in
the act, but to shoot down four n en- on
charge of rlotous conduct, is an undoubt-
ed abuse Of official authority. The coro.
ner's jury, however, found the law to JUS
tify this very skillful officer, who accord
ing to the context, must have shot all four
Of these prisoners while running at full
speed. Wonderful ball practice!
We fear this extremely swift Judgment
and verdict Of acquittal indicates the
spirit Of the war Of races sought to be
established here. Colored people denied
the right to vote and to work can become
little better than vagabonds, of whose
wrongs no account need be taken. Even
a coroner's inquest may become unnec-
essary. The terrible tendency to deeds
Of violence inculcated by the race leagues
should convince all persons really con-
cerned for the welfare of Louisiana that a
conflict for the few Offices which the
whites do not now hold in the city may
the loss of life, the military oc-
cupation of the State, the usual with
travail of capital and enterprise from a
city besieged and distracted, and the re-
susal of rations and appropriations by
Congress to people who will have thus
proved themselves so intolerant of the
tights Of others and SO resolute to resist |
he operations of federal law.
