Sigert, guard at the mines, was in
duced by two strikers to take a drink.
He was soon afterwards seized with
spasms from poison said to have been
mixed with the liquor.
The men were arrested. Fearing
q riot the Governor was asked toplace
the town under martial law, but an
other telegram from the mayor Of
Straitsville said he did not anticipate
riot. The prisoners were afterwards
discharged on account of some infor
mality in the affidavit.

NEW ORLEANS.
The State Government ReVOIu-
tiOnized in a Day!
War Yesterday. All Quiet on
the Mississippi To-Day!
Grant PrOclaims.

On the 18th inst. the white people of
Louisiana held a mass meeting on Ca
nal street, n. o., peacably protested
against the usurpations of tbs Kellogg
government, and requested him to alb
dictate. Kellogg refused to hear the pc
tition, and the people, under their legal
ly elected Governor, prepare to assume
authority in the State, Acting Govern
or, Penn, has called out the Militia of
the State, and already the citizens are
arming and fighting has commenced in
earnest. Barbados were erected, and
six or eight citizens, and twenty or thir-
ty MetrOpOlitans were killed and wOun-
ded the first evening. On the 10Th the
State House was surrendered to Lieut..
Gov. Penn, without firing gun, whose
Militia is already about ten thousand
strong. In his proclamation the acting
Governor assures colored people that no
war will be made on them or their
rights. The war is against usurpers
and thieves. The entire Metropolitan
force, Kellogg's militia, with arms, ar
senals, &c, surrendered at 8 A. NJ. to
the citizen militia. Kellogg, Long
street ard others took refuge in the Gus
tom House. Thut the Kellogg govern
ment is overthrown and the entire State
is in the hands of his opponents. Lieut..
Gov. Penn, who was legally elected in
1872, has taken the reins of government
and the righlful officers elected in 1872
have been restored in all the Parishes
heard from. Thus Louisiana is redeem
ed and disenthralled one time more, and
the movement which brought it about
is said to have been approved and APP
plauded by the Federal troops stationed
in New Orleans. But the President has
issued a proclamation ordering the in
surgents to dispense in five days, and il
may be his purpose to restore the Kel-
logg dynasty. However, if his object
is emily to prevent bloodshed, his proc
lamation was unnecessary, as the dis
patches inform us that the revolution ii
so complete and everything is so quie
that there is but one alarmed man il
the city, and he is the sentinel at the
State House.

Gov. Browns Speech at Tren-


We clip the following from the Dyers-
burg Gdzette'S Trenton correspondence
Gle spoke like one whose only aim
was equal and impartial justice to all
whites and blacks-and determined to
vindicate the majesty of the law, and
preserve untarnished the proud escutch-
con of our State.
l shall'not attempt even a sketch of
his address, but content myself by say
ing that i'm the main it was an elabOra-
ton of his late Proclamation to the peO-
pie of Tennessee-which is bold, man
ly, vigorous document, that has the "Old
Hickory" decision and vim about it.
Such was his earnest, nervous, and elO-
quent address to the yeOmanry of Glib
son this morning. believe it had a sal
utary effect, if such were needed, upon
all classes. There were large numbers
of blacks present, all paying the most
serious attention, and is is hoped that
they viii be benefited, and if they have
any diabolical designs upon the lives or
the property OF the whites, they will
abandon them as the most utterly dis
aStrous to themselves.
\ correspondent Of the Courier Jour
nal says: "Gov. Brown made a master
| ly speech at Trenton, Monday 9TH, call
/ ing upon the citizens to come forward
aud clear up the stigma resting upon
them, by bringing the guilty parties, or
| aiding in bringing them, to speedy pun
| ishment. He showed them conclusively
| their duty in the premises, as law-abid-
| ing citizens, and assured them of his de-
/ termination to use all the means at his
/ disposal to ferret out the criminals
The Governor is square on the situation
| that no one can doubt. He was follow
ed by the Secretary of State, Attorney
General Skiffin gton, and Others"
a correspondent of the Memphis Ap-
| peal says: 1.-THE speech of Gov. Brown
was mastery, thrilling and fearless. Ii
| did him more than official credit, anG
elevates him higher still in the temple
of TenneSsee's glory"

..THE WAR OF RACES. I"
The Relative Attitude of the
Whites and Blacks as De-
scribed by a Correspond
ent from the North.

IN. Y. Herald's Memphis Letter of Sept. 2.
After travelling over almost the whole
State of Tennessee TO endeaVor to find
out whether there is a war of races in
this part of the country l settled down
here for day to try and digest results.
If there is any deep-seated trouble any
where between the races Western Ten
nessee and Northern Mississippi are the
places to find it. Within a radius of
hundred miles around Memphis nearly
all the recent riots have occurred. Som
erville, where the first riot occurred, IS
on lateral branch of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, about fifty miles
distant. Austin, Mississippi, which was
next to follow with its war of races, Is
on the river, about eighty miles below.
Gibson county, where there has been
the most terrible emeute of all, is only
four or five hours ride. Each of these
events has caused a great deal of excite
ment here among both blacks and
whites, and the effect OF that excitement
has been in every instance to deepen
whatever animosity exists between the
races. Alarm and fear are common to
both sides, and believe the alarm and
fear are unfOunded on the part of either.
/ have mingled very largely with the
people of this section, and am con-
Vilceu JildJ IL Is IUe UesIFO Vi Tie kICe4L
body of the whites to live on terms of
peace and friendship with the negroes.
The whites, on the other hand, do the
negroes the justice of saying that this
feeling is fully reciprOcated on the part
of the blacks. At the same time, it is
plain even to the most careless observer
that there is a want of confidence among
the races. AS an illustration of this sin
gular state of feeling it may be men
toned that just before the recent local
elections in this county there was good
deal of excitement among both blacks
and whites in this city. The women
and children were seriously alarmed,
and many of the men actually believed
| that an attack was meditaUed by the ne
| groes. The negroes too were in dread
of some wrong from the whites. On
both sides the alarm and excitement
were without cause, and sprung solely
from the feeling of distrust which I'M
derlies the firmest desire to maintain
peace and order in the community. In
consequence of this event the efforts tC
keep the peace often tend toward break
ing it, and it thus happens that cir
cumstance trivial in itself may cOnvuist
q whole county.

Progress of the Conspiracy.

The plot understood 10 be concocted
by Senators Morton and Clayton and eX-
Chief Justice Mcclure, at the Hot
Springs of Arkansas, is being faithfully
carried out by their agents throughout
the South. From almost every State we
hear of negro risings against the whites.
The emissaTies do their work thoroughly.
The unfortunate black is melted to vio-
lence AID outrage, and then has to pay
the penalty for it i'm his own blood,
while the carpet-bag plotter sneaks off
with q whole skin. In the meantime,
the Northern parties to the conspiracy
do their part. The Republican papers,
from the Penobscot, to the Golden Gate,
hawk Ia unison over the atrociOus out
RACES committed by the Southern whites
UPON the negroes. "The Republican
party has not completed its mission, -
they cry, 'while the freedmen are I'M
protected from the Confederatesm This
they use as an argument why the people
of the North should turn out, as in the
days OF the war, and support the Re-
publican candidates for office. We have
every reason to believe that the negro
riots viii continue in the South during
the remainder of the political campaign.
They are part of the Republican work
ing capital. But it would be well for
all Democratic papers to expose the rea-
sons why there are riots and how hollow
is the sympathy of Badicalism for the
bluckS.

gF- The coming man. What kind OF
stuff is he made OF? Personally, phys
ically and intellectually he must be the
peer of any man. About him must be
n magnetism, a combination of moral
and intellectual forces, a sort of vril
power, such as Lord Lytton gives to the
"coming race" which will single him
out 10 all men as i leader. He must
POSSESS sagaclty to comprehend and
courage to perform his duty to the pub
lie. He must be quick to detect and
fearless to expose error. He must be
cool, self-pOssessed, conscientious, hon
est, charitable, courageous, and in SYM
patty with the toiling millions. Such
n man we know. In boyhoOd he was
the leader of his classmates at school
AMI of his associates i'm all boyish sports
and games. Later in life he gallantly
led the van in many hard fought bat
tie and rose to the command of diVis-
ion. He has since led the State of Ten
nessce through labyrinth of debt and
degradation inflicted by radical misrule
aud corrupt Legislation. Such leader
is equal to the present emergency, and
mobs and marauders may as well dis
band. Such IA man must be continued
in the public service, We cannot afforC
to dispense with him. He would retlec
honor upon the State and upon tn,
South in the u. S. Senate. Weneed no
say his name Is Jno. G. Brown.

SCHEDULE.
ON Candidnte for Coneress.

Our Candidate Tor Congress.
As may be seen from the proceedings
of the Congressional Convention held at
Columbia last Tuesday, General w. c.
WHITTHoRNE, our able and distinguish
ed representative in the 43rd Congress,
was nominated for recollection on the
tenth ballot. We congratulate him up
on his success, the Convention upon the
happy termination of its deliberations,
and the democratic and conservative
party upon the selection of a standard
bearer and a representative so eminent
ly worthy and able. In the 43rd Con-
gress Gen. WHITTHORNE was recognized
as one of the ablest and most industrious
Southern members, and we dare say
there were few members from any quar-
ter of more conspicuous ability, and
none more honest or Industrious. With
this standing in the 43rd Congress, and
with his experience in that body, he is
in a position to do the party and the
Southern people valiant service ia the
future. Giles viii give him a most cor
dial and hearty support, though her
first choice for the position rested upon
one of her own distinguished sons. Let
US all go to work for the nominee, and
elect him by an unprecedented maj ority

Nowhere have we seen more truth in
the same number of words than in the
sententious utteranceS of j. b. kille-
brew at Bellbuckle last week. He said
that many people ascribe our depressed
condition To the State taxes. We pay
the general government ten times as
much money rs we pay our State. We
pay five l'mes as much for the whisky
we drink, seven times as much in profits
to the Northern manufacturer, and five
times as much for the luxury of keeping
dogs. The State tax is mere bagatelle
Remit it all, and the relief would scarce
IL be perceptible. The State debt
amounts to only one-nineteenth OF ou
real and personal property, or 500 foI
every thousand we own, while we have
forty years to pay large portion OF 1t
Reputation would be moral death ant
financial ruin. 1t Is to the commercial
what iufidelity is TO the christian world
To violate the plighted faith of the STATE
would throw us back half century
and d1Ser men from investing capital II
our midst. 1t would prove more disas-
trous in the end than all the drouths
hurricanes, foundations and earth
quakes, that ever swept over the State

The Gold Fever Checked.

General Sheridan has once more found
il necessary to warn the citizens of the
United States against going to the Black
Hnls country. The expedition proposed
for that direction some years ago was
broken up when the General gave pub
lie notice that It was unlawful, and that
he would be Obliged To protect the In
dams whose territory was thus to be in
vaded. The surveys and reports oil
General Custer are intended for the use
of the Government; private persons
have no right 10 go TO the Black Hills,
Whatever the reports of the geOlogists
may be, it is unfortunate that any gold
fever has been excited, but whatever
else happens, we hope that General Sher'
idan will promptly stop all expeditions
bound TO the Indian country.

Under the demoralizing tuition and in

baggers, the newly enfranchised colOred
race were tempted TO INSTRUMENTATION at
the very threshold of their freedom. II
is, perhaps, wonder that they have be-
haved so well rs they have done under
the pernicious inducements to disorder
10 which they were subjected. Their
natural Incidence has been encouraged,
their vanity inflamed, an unwhOlesome

THE SOUTHERN CONVEN-

ga next Month.

Special to the Louisville Courier Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept, 9.-The next
scheme of the carpet-baggers is to have
a Southern Convention on the first of
October, to concoct an address of lies
and defamation of the Southern people,
so as to justify and excuse the military
pressure which is to be employed prior
to the elections in November. This
convention the carpet-bag managers had
proposed to hold ut Atlanta, Ga, but
have just changed the location to Chat
tanOOga. One of the most amusing and
startling stories put out by the carpet
baggers, is that there are to be no office
holders and no thieves in the conven-
ton. 1t has been suggested by some to
have the body opened with prayer by
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
