The WHITE LEAGUE REpUDIETED.


We have already seen that the n orthern
Democracy gave warning, even from its
outpost Of the Louisville Coi"ier-.'ou.N0',
that the White League program NE was
violative Of that section OF the Democratic
platform. which recognizes the CO nstitu.
tionai rights of the negro.
To this has been added the card Of Mr..
Penn. addressed to the colored people Of
Louisiana. This indication Of regard for
the rights of the colored race would 10
doubt have been speedily suppressed by
the White League autocrat and his two
organs. both Of them at present double
daily.
1t is perhaps fortunate thing for the
whites and Reforn:ers as we'll as for the
colored population. that the federal gov.
ernment stepredir. Whatsoever Of profit
resulting from the coup Ieta. would have
enured to the old Deuoc racy under its
alias Of tie White League. The co!ored
Secretary Of State and Superintendent Of
Public Schools. and the colored Admins
traitor Of Improvements would have gone
overheard. The employment Of colored
men on the ievee OK elsewhere would have
been interdicted. and all those Liberals
who recognized 'tie colored people" Of
Louisiana would have been IS ef;ectua,ly
prescribed rs the negroes then. selves. Per.
haps it j, we'll fox the Conservatives tia:
they did no: succeed in their attempt TO
secure power for the White Leaguezs. 1t
Is certainly promotiye Of tie health OF
the colored voters.

THE LATE CONFERENCE.

The farce, called conference. which has
been enacted for some days past has come
to an end. without any result, except it
may be the feeling OF defeat on one side.
and possibly chagrin Oh the other--cha'
grin. that they allowed themselves to be
drawn into so silly and dangerous an en-
terprise.
What could BE- expected fro.a such a
conference: Some said i. would lead to
compromise. A compromise OF what:
What is compromise: Worcester says
it is "a compac: OF adjustment in which
concessions are made on each side" Was
the legal government to make any soon.
cessions," and to whom: What ''conces.
sions' could the McEnery government
make? Would no: any concessions it
might pretend to make be a good deal
like giving away that which they do not
own:
There were some who thought that
few Republican officials might be induced
to resign. and that their places might be
conceded to some adherents Of lcEaery
and Penn. So far as the hoped for resig-
nation Of Governor Kellogg was concerned.
he is a free agent. with power to resign
whenever he thinks proper. bu: neither
he nor any se!f-constituted committee o.:
conference can '.concede" the office Of
Governor to any other person than the
one to whom it legally .iescends: and
with regard to appointed officers. they
can not resign i'll any other PERSONS favor.
4 public Office is no. private or personal
property to be disposed Of as s-cl.
There is one phase Of tais conference
business, which to our mind. is very uns
seen.!y. and must 50 i.esent Itself to
every thinking Republican i'll and on: OF
the State o. Louisiana. To the Republic
cans out OF the State. it must indeed seem
strange. that Governor Kellogg and
number Of leading Republicans should
hold conferences with til. men who jus.
one week ago sought their lives. ard had
they been captured. would. without doubt
been sacrificed.
Compromises growing on: Of conferences
such as we have had for two Or three days
past are dangerous. not merely dangerous
to those participating in them. but dam
gerous from the consequences elsewhere.
Let it be once shown tLat after an unsUc-
cessful attempt to overthrow tie legal gov
eminent. position or place can he exacted
from the government. by its enemies, it
would not be long before TIE same per-
Torrance would be repeated il ali of tie re-
constructed States that are not now III the
hands of the White Leaguers. This would
most certainly be the result. 1t would be
new lever il politics. compound Of
force and diplomacy. We do not w;sL to
say more on this subject now. We are
heartily glad that the farce ended as it did.
1. would be hard to tell the crop Of
troubles that would necessarily have re-
suited in any attempt q. compromise or
concession.

FIDuCIARY TRUST.

The Germania National Bank of New
Orleans stands as financial power in the
land. To its keeping people Of all political
beliefs have entrusted their funds. Gov.
ernor Kellogg. among others. has patron
lied this bank. During long period OF
time he has kept his private account
there. He has had the bulk Of his per-
sonal wealth always on deposit in the
Germania Bank. His deposit has fuc-
tuated from! five to twenty thousa nd dol
lars. While United States Senator. one
of the earliest official acts of Governor
Kellogg was to obtain the chart er Of the
Germania National Bank. Governor Kel.
logg has never asked nor received any
benefit from the Germania Bank. He
deposited his private funds there for Safe
keeping. and. as customary. when be re-
CURED money for personal or household
expe nses, would draw checks 70. such
sums are were needed.
Last Wednesday morning Mrs. Kellogg,
the Governors wife. called at the Ger
mania Bank, and presented a check which
had been given her by her husband for
necessary household expenses. The check
called for the usual amount necessary to
provide for the household. and it was
with surprise that the lady received for
answer the curt remark. "that the check
could not be paid" In explanation the
paying teller. in rude and abrupt man.
ner, stated ".hat orders from Governor
Penn had been received. that chec KS FROM.
Mr.. Kellogg should not be paid" As
the bank account Of Governor Kellogg
includes: some three thousand dollars OF
his w;te's personal fortune. the stupidity
Of the action OF the bank is simply an.az-
ing.
The check. of course. has since been
paid. bat the incident is published 70: the
information Of the business p.Alic. to
demonstrate tie insecurity OF private
property ci. a day whe, peace WAS assert
ed to be reisning supreme.
