''There VIII be no Compromise in North
louisiana"
The Shreveport Times has read the terms
Of compromise proposed by the conference
committees. and therefore it has spoken.
When it speaks. or knows it is the view OF
the party-the party that won the battles OF
Colfax, Coushatta and the Baton Rouge
convention. We have all along doubted
the power Of Mr.. Kepner to carry out his
par, of the bargain. and guarantee peace
and order in the State. Our doubts are
now confirmed. We commend careful
perusal Of the following to Governor Kel-
logg, Marshal Packard and their colleagues
OF the committee. They know that since
the organization Of the advisory board the
White League has been recruiting, seceiv-
ing arms and drilling with them IN the
public streets of the city. This action OF
the League will bear but one interpreta
tion-it means continued violence and
intimidation. It means that the real,
armed, disciplined opposition to the Repuo-
lican party do not mean to carry out in
good faith any of the pledges made by Mr..
Kenner. The chief organ of the party says
there shall be no compromise. Let US have
no more Of the advisory board:
THE LINE OF BATTLE.
The recent maneuverings and conferences
of what are termed the Conservative and
Republican committees in New Orleans
have not met the appreciation Of the par
ishes, and the compromise finally signed
by Duncan +. kenner as chairman OF one
committee, and A. A. Asocha of the other,
and published in the Times Wednesday
morning, is not satisfactory, while the in
judicious and improper dispatch of the
agent OF the Associated Press, to the effect
| that it was stated compromises similar to
/ the one made in TerrebOnne would be Gu
tered into throughout the State, has pro-
| voked much indignation.
In our opinion it would have been better
| had there been no committee claiming to
| represent our party and no compromises
authorized or unauthorized. The conces-

kellogg usurpation; the sillainy Of the fed
eral officials in New Orleans, and to the
wrongs and prosecutions OF the people OF
this State. And while the press, Repub-
lican, Liberal and Democratic, from Illinois
to Michigan, and from Minnesota to Maine,

and attempted to pledge the people
whom it persecutes and plunders, to become
it's police. And what arc We to gain for all
proposed concessions! Why. literally moth
ing. Tuesday the DISPATCHES announced
this compromise by which the people are

intimidation, and Thursday the telegraph
announces that body Of federal cavalry 10
to be sent to North Louisiana to scour the
country. There 10 no lawlessness here;
since the carpet-baggers have emigrated

and We venture 20 say shern is NO portion

quiet and peacesble than tho parishes OF
North Louisiana. And yet, the country 10

by Marshal Packard, chief of the Republi-
can committee Of conferences; semi here to
protect carpet baggers and negro rioters in
recognizing the war OF races; and our
committee has pledged us to peace.
Now, then, the people of North Louisiana
| repudiate the compromise. There is no

one will DO intimidated; but we are pain
fully aware Of the fact that from tho kel-
logg government We have no fairness OF
jus tice TO expect, and that, through the
! partisan courts Of this State, We can obtain
no redress for our wrongs; and if any par
! ties, white or black, attempt to reinaugurate
| the race conflict among us; 70 incite the
negroes against the whites, or arouse the
evil passions Of the negroes by promising
them our lands and telling them we propose
to re-enslave them, such persons will be
most summarilv dealt with. The people OF
this section Of Louisiana are loyal citizens

incite riot and bad blood are no safer here
