MR.. CHARLES q. WALKER AND COVER.
NOR KELLOGG.

We know very little abou. Mr.. Charles
H. Walker further than that he is at.
tempting to make sugar planter OF him.
self out in Attakapas. without entirely
letting go Of his hold on Chicago. He
is. according to the certificate of charac-
ter given him by his apologist. the P;ca-
y,,ne. part farmer and par: trader; that is.
while hiring negroes in Attakapas to raise
cane at the rate Of thirteen dollars per
month for the best hands and lower in
proportion. he ''still maintains large COM
mercial and other relations with Chicago"
We suppose Bohemianism to be included
in the ''other relations" maintained with
the Phoenix City. This is sustained BY
the introduction of Mr.. Walker to the
public by the Chicago Tribune in the
modern fashion---first, a carefully pre-
pared interview, sent by mail probably;
second, a communication reiterating the
errors and follies OF the interview. We
cite two statements made by Mr.. Walker
as all evidence o: his want Of knowledge
or ve.acity: ..
/. He says the democratic party has
not been in power in Louisiana since the
war"
2. He has heard it publicly stated. with.
out denial, that Governor Kellogg issued
500, 900 in bonds to the New Orleans.
Mobile and Texas railroad which ought
no. to have been issued.
The Picay1.ne copies both the above
statements with many others. which it
calls "a very effective reply Of Mr..
Walker" to some statements made by
Goyerno. Kellogg.
We impute it to s1r. Walkers Ignorance
of the history OF this State that he does
not know that we hare enjoyed two
years :ule Of the Democracy. and that it
cost the taxpayers nearly sl7.0oo.ooo for
the luxury. No bonds have been issued
by Governor Kellogg to the New Orleans.
Mobile and Texas railroad, and if the
statement referred to by Mr.. Walker has
been publicly made it ias escaped our
notice.
When man undertakes to discuss
Louisiana affairs in Chicago or elsewhere
he ought first to establish an intelligent
basis. Mr.. Walker, as q witness. can re-
ike. We have 10 questions to ask hin.

the State We have seen that the United
States does not make war in kid gloves.
nor confne its operations in the field to
the pursuit Of armed men and pitched
battles and skirmishes. The Secretary
Of the Treasury will follow the army 10

great prop which sustained the Confed-
eracy so long has been taken away. There
will be no slaves 70 keep the women and

THE POLICY OF GUERILLA WARFARE.

THE POLICY OF GUERILLA WARFARE.
When during the late war it began to
look obvious that the Condolences could
not hold out much longer, it was proposed
by some of the more spiteful of their
political leaders to fall back from the
front and organize into guerilla factions.
1t was agreed that such policy would
efectually deprive the United States Of
all the substantial fruits of the victory
which was already in sight to the most
obtuse. An attempt was made two or
three years ago to inaugurate such a sys-
tem OF warfare in the Carolinas and
Georgia. But the prompt arrest, trial,
conviction and punishment Of a number
Of the Ku-K!ux leaders nipped the move
ment in the bud and established quiet.
4 similar idea seems to have come into
the heads Of a large number of the white
people in soma few Or the northern par.
ishes of this State. The Democratic coun.
try press are already melting the people
to resist not .only the State officers. but
the United States troops as well, and
yield nothing except at the point of the
bayonet. The Shreveport Tines. the
Alexandria Democrat and the Natchitoches
Indicator are conspicuous examples Of
this class of advisers. Each Of these lit.
tie journals estimates that it will require
the constan: presence Of at least three
thousand troops to keep their little neigh.
borhoods in good behavior.
This is grave mistake. If it shall be.
come necessary, a system Of punishment
will be introduced will. tie army which
will have for its object. and doubtless es.
feet. 20 teach those who are disposed to
be d:sosderly to be quiet. # the worst of
then: can nc: give satisfactory peace
bonds. they vii. be taken into custody
and sent to keep company with Tweed.
Brave words. at q safe distance from
danger. COS: nothing, and never lead to
disasresable consequences. provided
timely surrender IS inte:posed to prevent
and a'o!d extreme measures. The pres.
ence OF three Or four thousand regular
United States troops. with eight ships Of
war. il this State, with two battal;ors Of
cavalry on the way here. means some.
thing, and the loud talking people in the
country may rs well make up their minds
that it is not child's play they are
here for. The disloyal element is
largely in the minority among their
political associates. aud the party EN-.
bracing both classes is in q minority in

THE SPIRIT OF LOYALTY IN THE PAR
ISHES.

Letters are now fast pouring into the
executive department Of this State from
the parishes breathing spirit of loyalty
to law and order. and inspiring the gov.
eminent to take such steps IS will insure
peace and the supremacy Of the laws in
the future. 4 gentleman Of intelligence
and influence. writing to Governor Kel-
logg from Monroe. Ouach;ta parish. IN.
der date Of September %. 1874. says:
We are reioiced to hear that all com.
promise has failed. We are OF the opinion
that you are right. and that no talk OF com.
promise should have been commenced. Our
government will hava to make treason
odiOuS. as all other governments have done.
before we can have peace. ! hear that
troops will be sent to various parts Of the
State. and it SO they should be followed by
Republican speakers. who will commence
amt carry on to the day Of election the most
vigorous campaign ever known in AIoultl.
ana. Not One-third of the white people in
this parish belong to the League. and
many, very many, are as much opposed
to it as the Republicans. have Travelled
all over the "hi!l'' part Of Ouachita, CON
versing with white voters. stopping with
them over night. and ! know the League
has injured the Democratic party. And
with a right kind Of campaign it can be
made to give strength to the Republican
party. Please urge the executive commit.
tee to work. work, work. There is no time
to lose.
Other letters are written in the same
strain. and are particular to impress the
fact that not one-third Of the white people
in the parishes side with the White
Leaguers. 1t is plainly to be seen. there
fore. that it the Republicans go into the
campaign properly for the purpose Of
securing honest and competent men to go
to the Legislature and fill the various
positions to be filed by election this fall.
they will be joined by larger proportion
Of white voters than ever before. The csl- |
oredpeople should see the necessity Of thus
strengthening the Republican party in
Louisiana, and insist upon nothing that !
is likely to prevent the contamination of
an object that is so we'll calculated to ef- !
and finally break down all such
as the Ku-Klux Khan, the |
Knights Of the White Camelia and the /
White League. The colorad people will
not obiec. to having honest and compe-
tent men in Office: men who are capable |
and willing to accord to them every right
in this State that has been guaranteed to
them by the constitution and laws Of the |
United States
