people have surrendered, - an armed body,
but it indirectly bids for q Brutus to put
the district judge out of the way. 1t says:
There is a point, which we have reached,
where mere fOrbearance will cease to be q
virtue, and we can net counsel our people
to remain like "hewn blocks" under one of
the most outrageous acts ever consummated
in the history of North Louisianx-that of
installing II. G. Myers as district Judge of
this district. Let it not be understood,
however, that this counsel is to be construed
into ian armed demonstratiOn"-an action
our enemies are only anxious for us to
take-but that of q resistance Of petition
and remonstrance; as we in this revolution
seem to be going backward. To inaugurate
this movement let the PEOPLE again Assem-.

against these corrupt otiicials-charges We
are willing and able to prove in any I'M
biased court of competent jurisdiction-we
will then call upon our committee ap.
pointed in June last, to demand
from them in person their resignation
We will do this IN the actual pres
ence Of the federal army, and show
to the world that We are not fearful Of do
ing what we know is right. 1t will be
asked, what we will do in the event Of
refusal : We will say that public opinion
the opinion that all honest men will have

such characters have for q Brutus. who Will
arise to ylndicate the wrongs Of our people.
and the outrage that these miscreants per.

In the person of Mr.. james Mann. q
new conner. the Baton Rouge Adcocots
claims to have found man OF the right
sort. At the Baton Rouge convention
Mann represented himself az Democrat,
and was taking notes for the Cleveland
Plaiudeaier. The Adsoca:e Of the fifteenth
instant says:
Our friend jim Mann, being an Ohio
chap. is tickled all over at the news just
received. Jim is Republican OF the genu'
inc school, is not ona according 10 the
Louisiana, and rejOices with us at the carly
prospect Of being relieved from this hellish
incubus. Jim is as lively as q cricket, and
says he'll help the boys work the gun this
evening In honor Of the good news sent
down from his mother State. If all Repub-
iicans We're like Mann this country would
be worth loving and living for under So
called Republican rule. This 10 Demo-
cratic country, and it must be ruled upon
Just and honorable Democratic doctrines.
Another extract from the .Adr0cdte shows
that the White Leaguers have resolved
themselves into a committee Of the whole
to count ballots, and if they do not count
out and in enough to win it will be because
they are not permitted to do SO. Here is a
resolution just passed At one Of their meet
ings:
Resoieed, That on election night we pledge
ourselves to be present at and assisting, &C
cOrding to law, at the counting OF the peo-
ple's ballots, and if, as we doubt not, the
peoples candidates shall be found to be
elected. we solemnly call Almighty God to
witness that thereupon, in due season and
in a proper manner, we will see that they
are installed in their respective offices. at
every hazard and at any cost.

Being to witness the installation of q sheriff.

place hunters.
