"At last, after two years OF snbmls-

are, In II measure, excusahle, for they
may say, with precise truth, that the
court, TO whose peculiar law they were
compelled 10 submit themselves, was,
and still IL presided over by yenal
judge, who stands before the bar of his

The whole movement on Monday
executed, and IL never could have been
carried out If reason and common
sense had held control of the minds of
those assisting at 1t, but reason and
common sense had no part in the bust
ness. The people of Louisiana coming
together In great numbers, their mag
nations heated by the eloquent recital
of the monstrous wrongs to which they
had been compelled to submit, they
determined upon revolution, and 80
determined and unanimous were they
that they have won temporary tri-
umph by driving the corrupt and
usurping Kellogg government out of
the capital and establishing the duly
elected government in its place.
The whole bad business Is the natu-
raj and inevitable sequence of the UNI
just political policy which for two
years has been maintained by Kellogg
and supported by the federal
government in Louisiana. The
Kellogg rule was begun in fraud and
1t has been kept up by all sorts of ve-
nality aud corruption. 1t has oppress-
ed the people in house, field and shop.
1t has taxed them to their ruin and
still left the commonwealth u bank

The talk that has been INDUCED in
by northern newspapers that this was
anew rebellion by the old rebels ofthe
confederaoy, or that it was the Begin
ming of q conflict between The whites
and blacks, would be absurd if it were
not wilful and malicious perversion
of the truth, meant to intlame the |
north against their southern brethren.
1t is not a new rebellion of the rebels,
nor war of races, but an unwise, I'M
reasonable, ill-judged attempt on the
part of the people of great state to |
overthrow a usurping government,
which has m0nstrously abused and
wronged them, and to establish duly
elected government in its place.
BRowNLow, though he has been IN
drtic,ao morris for many years, is not
dead yet A correspondent of the New
York Herald interviewed him recently
on the civil rights and third term
questions. He says unhesitatingly that
the civil rights bill, If it becomes alaw,
can only be enforced at the point of
the bayonet. His views on this ques-
ton are set forth In the follow extract,
with which we accord entirely:
There is but one or two courses to be |
pursued. Either the north must rec
ognize the palpable fact that the social
relations of the races must be left to |
regulate themselves, without the inter- |
vention of the law making power, or
the civil rights BILL becoming the law,
must be enforced at the point of the
bayonet. In other words, the enact
ment of the bill is theinstant transfer
nation of our republican system of
government, and that of the south
must be a military despotism. How
soon the north would lose her liberties
after those of the southern states were

tator in fact--to determine.
With his views on the third term
question we do not agree, but submit
them for the perusal of our readers, as
he bases his argument on an historical
statement alleged to have been made
to.him by Hon. John Bell, deceased
