seems, the centre ola settlement Of North
ern Immigrants on the Red River. Some
of them were formerly soldiers in the
Union army. The town is flourishiDg,
and Northern thrift and enterprise have
begun new and prosperous career for
Louisiana. But Conshatta. naturally
Republican, has excited the intense ha-
tired of the lawless people Of the neigh
borhood. Its court. house, school-house
mills, and machine.sbops seem the omen
of reign of good order and peace that
the Ku-klux can scarcely endure. A
band Of two or three hundred ruf6ans in.
vaded the town. took prisoners the tax
collector, deputy.postmaste UnitelStates
commissioner. several other officials, and
a number of colored citizens, and lodged
them in prison upon some prePosterous
accusation. Another baud of outlaws,
supposed to te Texans, took them from
the Jail and shot them in the woods. So
grave and desperate an outrage as the
murder of State aud United States off,
cials will probably be followed with little
more than an investigation" Tennessee
and Kentucky are disgraced by series
Of not dissimiar crimes. To the former,
fourteen innocent negroes are the latest
victims Of the merciless rebels. The
white mans party has thrown off all dis
guise. Its favorite victims are Northern
Immigrants native white and colored Re-
publicans. and every man who proclaims
his devotion to the Union. But will the

Can not the Southern politicians see that
they are awakening spirit Of retaliation
that may bring upon them speedy and
terrible punishment 's.'
The Democratic leaders of the North
ern States are responsible for the cnormi-
ties Of their Southern allies. 1t is in the
cause of 'so-calleh" Democracy that
all these crimes are committed. Unhap-
PLY the recent elections in several of the
Northern States have placed in office men
who were known as pro-slavery Democrats
during the war, and the white mans par
ty at the South evidently believe that
OHIO and Connecticut are prepared to
countenance any crimes that will secure
a Democratic majority in Louisiana or
South Carolina. How greatly they arc
deceived they will no doubt discover at
last. There are not many native.born
citizens in any Free State who do not
hurn to punish the murdcrers of Billings,
the Georgia "Tigers" who invaded South
Carolina. or the miscreants Of Louisiana
and Tennessee. But it is to the corrupt
leaders Of the Demoratic party that the
country owes this constant insubordination
at the South, which has suffered it for ten
years to 6nd no repose. At the approach
of every election the white mans party
has begun its outrages, and Tammany
Hall and all the Democratic press have re-
joiced over the murder of carpet-bagsers,
as they call all Northern settlers in the
South, and the immense "Denoraticr ma
jorities rolled up in Kentucky and Geor-
gia by the terrors of the Ku.Klux. Tam
many Hall, which has long been an Irish
Catholic club, and the tool Of the foreign
priesthood, has small sympathy with the
brave schocl.mastcg who has been whip
ped and tortured in Texas as ''carpet.bag-
gers" or the unconscious Republicans
who have suffered In all parts the South
for defending the common rights of man.
Its leaders have always been the natural
allies Of the Ku.Klux. To 1868 Tweed,
Sweeny, and Hall were in friendly league
with the worst Of the chiefs Of the White
mans party, and, amidst blood.shel and
disorder, hoped to win the control of the
South. lu 1872 their natural successors
Wood, ~Morrissey, Fellows, Kelley. and the
whole Roman Catholic faction, led by the
Catholic Telegraph, ,ofCinoirnattj. .wereopcc
more found allied with the murderers of
Grant Parish and the ku.Klux Of New
Orleans, Every ole remembers the cry
of exultation from the whole Irish and
Democratic faction when Georgia, bleed
in G and helpless, was made to give sixty
thousand majority for the unhappy Gree
ley, and sank down into slavery again un-
der the lash of Toombs In 1874 the
allies are once more exutant. Tammany
Hall and the Irish faction prepare to seizc
upon New York the whole Roman Cath
olic population will be driven by the
priests aud bishops to vote for Democratic
candidates !; the Cincinnati Telegraph
and papal prelates have already won
victory over the common schools in Ohio
by threats and denuucations to their alb
ject people and all over the South their
allies Of the white mans party have be-
gun anew their career of terrorism aud
blood-shcd.
A conspiracy again has been inaagura-
ted by priests and rebels against 1Dowl-
edge, liberty and union. But we believe
it will fail, as all such coDspiracies have
always done. The people are already
preparing to encounter . and overthrow
their old enemies. With enormous ma
jorities they will rise, from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific, to battle tie foreign pre-
'Iates who hope to rule the Nortn---tbe
servants Of a tyrannica Church and their
fearful allies OF the white mans party, the
the Georgia Tigers" and the Louisiana
cbivalry. They will guard as jealously
the lives of peaceful citizens among the
sayages of Alabama as if it were in Bor.
neo or Ashantee, and punish with signal
severity the lnurderous crew who are the
