SOUTHERN PRESS OPINIONS.
Richmond Enquirer, Democrat.l

Richmond Enquirer, Democrat
Grant has no longer any use fOr the
Southern people now, and accordingly
he prepares to slaughter them for the
qualification of his Northern admirers.
He is smart enough to know that if he
secures a third term it must be at the
hands Of the Northern people, and that
the way to get it is to work upon their
fears. They must be made to feel the
necessity for a strong government, and
then the step from q third term to
CRarism will be made easy.
1t grieves us to think that ill-adviSed
and foolish men in the South have, by
their exccsses. forwarded the schemesOf
thedespot. We will not say harsh things
of them, for they claim and receive our
warmest affection and sympathy in their
sore trials and Affections, but We cannot
help feeling cllagrined that they should
so easily become the dupes of those who
are scheming for their destruction. No
sooner does the prospect of Overthowing
the present despOtic and corrupt regime
wax bright and cheerful than these mis-
guided and hOt-headed people %perpetrate
some act of madness which straightway
o'ercasts the bright sky. At the critical
moment they are always easily induced
to furnish their enemies with the wea-
pOnsnecessary to overthrow their North
ern friends. We have some unpleasant
forebOdings as to the result which we
hope will never be realized.

IRichmaud Dispatch. Conservative.

1t amazes us that our friends there
should have been so badly advised. The
President is bound, forced, compelled to
sustain the recognized government. In
the cases of some States no particular
Governor, it is possible, has ever been
formally recognized. But in the case of
Louisiana, US is we'll known, both Con-
gress and the President have again and
again recognized Kellogg as the lawful
Governor. 1t was therefore absolutely
certain from the beginning that the
whole power of the United States Gov
ernment would be brought to bear
against the citizens who were endeaV-
oring to dislOdge him. Why, under
these circumstances, our friends there
should have engaged in n strife which
could only result, as it did, in blOOdslled
and suffering, we cannot say. We sup
pose, however, that their sense of the
wrongs under which they were suffering
became too strong to be kept down by
prudence. It>is enough to sicken the
heart Of any true Southern man to reflect
upon the indiguities which will he Wis
tied upon the people of every Southern
State as a consequence of this unfor-
tlnate movement. We will not specu-
late as to what they will be.

At this distance, and in our tranquil
atmosphere, the action of the Penn party
seems unwise but as the country has
refused to listen to the prayers of Louis
lana, it may happen that the present
connection, in the end, may secure JUS
tice for the plundered and oppressed
people of that unhappy State. One thing
is certain, their condition cannot be ig-
nored and, avoiding collision with the
Federal authorities, they will be heard
at last, through a feeling Of curiosity, if
not through a sense of justice.
We presume the real object of the
movements to secure a military govern
ment in-place of that of the thieves and
yagabOnds who have grasped the reins
OF power. 'e

SENATOR THOMAS c. ANDERSON.

We take the subjoined extract from
the Picayune of the 9th ult. The editor
has fallen into an error, if he intends to
convey the idea that Senator Anderson
was elected as a Democrat by a Demo-
cratic constituency. On the contrary,
he ran as all Independent candidate
against J. NJ. Moore, ESQ., the nominee
of the Democratic party, and F. Riard
the nominee of the Republicans, beating
them both by a handsome majority. The
Independent voters of the Senatorial
District preferred Gen. Anderson, with
his known ~antecedents to either of the
other candidates, fortified as they were
by party nominations. His constituents
have had abundant reason to felicitate
themselves ON their choice. The manly
and independent course pursued by I'm
Senator, has enabled him to render the
most important services to his District.
He has had the control of all the ap-
pointments and those made for the par
ish of st. Landry have, we know, given
universal satisfaction. Whatever MAY
be the views of ultra partisans, the course
of Senator Anderson has been approved
by q large majority of those whom he so
ably represents:
Senator Thomas c. Anderson returned
yesterday from Washington, whittier he
went after the great popular uprising of
the 18th.
Senator Anderson returns from the
capital with strong assurances of the
great desire of Gen. Grant that there
should be some adjustment Of II po-
litical troubles which would secure an
honest government to our State and re-
lieve the Executive of the necessity of
sustaining a large military and naval
force here to suppress armed dem0nstra-
tons against the Government. q
Senator Anderson occupies 4 peculiar
position in the politics Of this State.
Thoroughly identified with every inter
est of this State, having long served in
the Legislature previous to the war, en-
gagged in the Confederate service, Il
Southern born man, elected by a Demo-
cratic constituency from the strongest
Democratic parish III the State, and en-
ioying a large popularity, it is one of the
most incomprehensible things we have
ever known in politics that he should
suffer himself to be set down as a Rad
ical and Kelloggite. He is one of the
Returning Board, elected by the Senate,
and is President pro tenn. of the Senate,
who, in case of the resignation of the
several claimants to the GoycrnOrship
and Lieutenant Governorship, would be
the Governor Of>tbe State.
