LOUISIANA TROUBLES.

On the 14th inst, the citizens Of
New Orleans held mass meeting
on Canal street, protesting against
the seizure Of the arms of private
citizens, as an uncomfortable outrage.
Stores were closed and the streets
were blocked with the immense
crowd. Speeches were made and a
committee appointed who waited on
Governor Kellogg and asked him to
abdioate the Executive chair, lie
refused to communicate with the
committee because he believed the
people were armed and they were in
the attitude Of menace. They as
sured the Governor that the people
were unarmed and they came in the
interest of peace. Kellogg still re-
fused, and the people were called to
arms, rallied, and after some fight
ing possessed the city, the Federal
troops remaining inactive.
ID. p. Penn, Acting Lieutenant
Governor and Commander-in-Chief
of Louisiana State Militia, issued the
following address TO the colored peo-
Pile:
"To the Colored People Of the
State of Louisiana In the grand
movement ON foot against the enor>
, mites OF the rule of Kellogg's usur-
patton, rest assured no harm is meant
TO you, your property, or your
rights. Pursue your usual avcca-
hons and you will not be molest-
led. We war against thieves, plum
derers, spoilers of the State, who
are involving your race and ours in
common ruin. The rights of the
colored as well as the white race we
are determined to uphold and de-
fcnd.n
The lighting resulted In the defeat
of the Kellogg faction and the killing
and wounding of fifty PERSONS
Ten thousand citizens backed Gov.
Penn, who took possession of the
reins Of government and installed
his own officers. Kellogg and Gen.
Longstreet hid out. The Federal
soldiers cheered the Louisiana pa
triots in their efforts for freedom
Peace reigns.

white league murders to-day. Bur-
lington Hatck-Eye (Rep).
And yet Justice Bradley admits
that the so-called Ku-Klux who were
sent to the Albany penitentiary and
subsequently pardoned, were illega-
ly tried and convicted. Does the
Haek-Eye justify hemp and lynch
law for threats and intimidation on
the part of whites against blacks 7

BUSINESS PROSPECT.

altogether says the Savannah

a profitable business season are more
than hopeful. Everything seems to
be upon sound and healthy basis,
and the commercial pulse beats with
something like its old steadiness and

The Washington Chronicle of
Wednesday morning publishes a let,
ter from the editor of the Montgom-
cry, Ala, Advertiser and Mail, en-
phatically denying the charge that
Republicans are not safe in that
State, and that political murders are
the order of the day. He invites
investigation, and says that if the
reports are not shown false and ma,
licious, he is willing to be condemned
and hanged. He says the reports
are for political effect.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

The colored Republicans of this
county decline to run candidate of
their own in the Congressional cleo
ton. Now let them take one step
further and move to the support of
one of the democratic candidates,
and, as well as they can, identi>
fly themselves politically with the
whites, and then whatever may hap
pen to the rest of the country, we
will have peace and prosperity in

WHAT RADIcALrsM HAS DONE FOR
LoUIsIANA.-The negro government
of LOUISIANA since 1868 has so de-
moralized labor and destroyed the
leyee system by robbing the fund
which has been extorted from the
people for that purpose and misap-
piled, that the receipts of sugar at
New Orleans, which in 1861 amount
to $4,000 hhds,, have now dwin-
died to $4,000. This is repeti-
ton of the history of the West In
dian Islands.

COBB COUNTY REPUBLICANS.
MARIETTA, Sept. III, lS1


EDS. JouRNAL--ln the Atlanta
Herald of the 18th inst, we read
with astonishment that Major Whit
more of this city represented TO one
Of their reporters that Cobb County
Republicans were, with few excep-
tions, for FELTON,. Though the Major
is a well accredited Republican, the
truth is, bis duties keep him almost
constantly from home, and certainly
in this matter he gives very wild
testimony. DIR. FELTON, is scarcely
known to the Republicans Of this
county, while Col. Trammell is well
known to most of us as a conserva-
tive man. When voting day comes
the ballots will show whether the
GALLANT MAJOR or the undersigned
know the feelings of the Republi-
cans in this canvass.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. A. Fox,
JAS. G. HU6HEs.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF TEE Pc.
LITIcAL CONDITION OF THE
SOUTH.

me ituPuiOJ anu
suits of the Congressional recons
struction of the South are fully
understood by the English paper
from which the following extracts
are taken
To make slaves not only free but
practically masters Of their former
owners at single stroke, was in it.
self political measure without a
precedent in the past history of civ>
ilized countries; and yet this repre-
SCENTS only one-half of the American
venture. The enfranchisement Of
the colored population of the South
ern States assumed for its success
not only the general expediency Of
Transporting the position Of master
and slave, but also the capacity Of
the negro race for the exercise Of
any political rights at all. Violent
as both assumptions were, the latter
was probably the more violent of the
two but taken together they in
volve demand upon the hopeful
ness of the people and their blind
faith in the impeccability of Demo-
cratic government, which even the
Americans we should have supposed,
would have been unable to meet.
Still they took the step. and, to all
appearance, they took it deliberate>
ly.
The negro has borne himself un-
der his new dignities as all who
knew his character predicted that
he would the white population have
resented his sway with the uncertain
ed Indignation which might have
been expec ted I; and the American
electoral system has exercised over
the whole situation the malign inhu-
ence inherent in its corrupt and cor
rupting nature. Those sanguine
persons who expected that the ne
gro would not care to possess, or
would fail in securing, the political
supremacy within his reach, had
reckoned without the " carpet-bag
gers" of the North +; those who i'm
agined that, having secured politi-
cal supremacy, he would use it dis
creetly, had very much misjudged
the negro himself. A race by ma
ture vain, ignorant, and childish to
the last degree, and with superad-
ded political un6tness inherited from
generation to servitude, used their
newly acquired power in accordance
with their natural and their acquir-
ed tendencies. The results, at once
absurd and tragical, have been
watched by the world for some years
past, and it is only lately, now that
tragedy has begun to predominant
so strongly over absurdity, that
spectators have begun to discuss
with wonder the political measure
; which rendered such state of things
possible. Putting aside, as we have
done, the hypothesis of intentional
reprisals upon the South as the exr
PLANTATION of this measure, and treat
ing the Wholesale enfranchisement
of the negro race as having been
effected in simple Difference to the
principle of universal suffrage, the
nbenomenon il full of instruction for
European, and perhaps especially for
English, politicians. II affords a
remarkable example of the ascen-
dancy which what we may call the
superstition of institution, is able, in
certain cases, to acquire over politi-
cal thought, and the extent to which
its devotees may at last become
proof against the most pressing con-
siderations of expediency or even
common prudence.
