assertions in the leading journals Of tn
party, ana the open and public decIara
tons Of the leaders Of this organization
as perfectly Overwhelming, and which
there is no longer any effort to disguise
To show that the party opposed to the
Republican party in this Sta to is in tht
minority it will only be necessary to ad'
vert to certain facts.
l. That the colored voters in this State
are as near unit in favor Of the Repub
hcan party as such thing can exist
there only being now and then one who
from fear of losing some easy and conf.
dental relation with a white man, may
vote with him, or for similar causes-aone
from conviction Of it being their patriotic
duty to do so-can not be honestly cues
toned.
2. The census Of 1870 shows small
majority Of colored people in this State
over the whites.
3. There has been considerable immi-
grafton Of colored people into this State
since the census of 1870.
4. There is larger number Of white
Republicans in the State than of colored
people opposed to the Republican party.
5. The emigration out of the State
since 1870 has been almost exclusively
white, and it has greatly preponderated
over the white immigration into the
State.
6. There are large numbers of foreign
ers in the State included among the white
people under the census of 1870, who are
not naturalized and consequently not
voters.
The party opposed to the Republican
party then being in the minority in the
State, they can not by any fair means Of
electicneering expect to carry the majority
at the next election in November; they
can not expect to do SO by manipulating
the election laws, as they attempted to do
IN 1872, when those laws were under their
control, inasmuch as those laws are not
now under their control: How, then, we
ask, do they expect to carry the election
in their favor in November next? This is
The practical question for solution. No
other means would seem to be practical
except that they avow to intimidate the
Republicans so they will either not
7ote or vote for the party opposed to
he Republican party. To produce this
lind OF intimidation, violence and murder
viii be necessary. Now, in order to
induce men to commit such acts Of yio- |
ence and murder there must be some Or
yanized protection for them; hence it be-
zones necessary to create such an organ
cation as the "White League, which is
n principle the same as the organization
# the Ku-Klux of 1868, and no doubt for
he same purpose.
When there is such an organization,
General throughout the State, the object
# which is by violence and murder to
ntimidate the majority of the voters to
nable the opposite party to carry the
tate, and to deprive the majority Of the
oters of their constitutional rights, what
Gay such action be designated? Is itnot
rebellion, yea, an armed rebellion
gainst the laws of the State? But to say
be least of it, it is domestic uiolence,"
gainst which it is the duty of the United
tates, on the application of the executive
the State, to protect the State; and
the President of the United
tates, on the proper representation from
Re executive, will afford the necessary
rejection.

ALLEGED REVENUE FRAUDS.

Seizure Of the Cooks of T. Fayvcett and
X. 3. Sinclair, Linen Mcrch ants.
The account books, correspondence and private
letters OF Messrs. T. Fawcett and r. s. Sinclair
agents OF the York Street Flax and Spinning Com
pany OF Belfast, Ireland, were lately seized at
their office, No. 10 White street, on account Of al
legged frauds against the United States revenue.
The seizure was made at the instigation OF the
celebrated DR.. E. S. K'mbal, till lately attached
to the otce OF Colonel F. L. Howe, Special Treas
ury Agent.
WHAT THE FIRM SAY.
HERALD reporter called upon the firm last
evening to gain their version of the matter In the
absence OF Mr. Fawcet, Mr.. st. Clair, bis partner,
made the following statement
We have always carried on our business in an
honorable manner. and look upon the seizure OF
books and private papers as an unjust and arbl-
trary piece OF business. We hope the new law
which Is to be brought before Congress VIII stop
and papers by Colonel Howe we have since
heard that there IS nothing against us. For
how many years Is firm to be subjected to these
1ndigntles after the goods nave passed the Custom
House When we import linen goods we give the
Custom House the correct number OF yards in the
pieces and copies OF the legitimate invoices. We
can do no more Ii the customs would fix their
tariff per yard, as in France all these subsequent
questions of valuation would be stopped, and we
should not be tOrmented ID this fashion. 1t IS time
that somebody should be found to fight the battles
OF the merchants.
your books and papers some OF your trade secrets
have been circulated among your rivals in the
linen business?
Mr.. SINCLAIR-Well l had rather say nothing
about that subject. You can understand, how
ever how valuable such information would be TO
other people, who would forthwith import the
same kind OF goods that We proposed bringing
over TO this market.
REPoRTER-Can you give me the amount of
winch you are accused OF delrauding the revenue
Mr.. SINCLAIR-NO, sir; and what is more,
deny that we have derauded the revenue.
1t is reported that private detective named
Fisher has obtained much interesting information
respecting the fashion OF selZing merchants books

GENERAL HowARD's CASE IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. CoBURN, (rep.) OF Ind, from the Committee
OF Military Affairs reported joint resolution re-
questing the President TO convene q court of in
qury, OF not less than five officers OF the army to
investigate fully all the charges against Brigadier
General o. o. Howard contained In the communt-
cation OF the secretary of War OF 5tn December,
1879, and TO report their opinion as well on
the moral as legal responsibility for such
OFFENCES. If any be discovered.
Mr.. FRYE, (rep.) OF Me- asked leave to ofYer an
amendment. giving the accused the right OF chal-
lenge, now allowed by law, in trial by court
martial.
Mr.. CoBUgN declined to let the amendment be
offered remarking that there was no place for q
challenge TO come In, as the court would be ap-
pointed by the President. lie moved the previous
question.
The House refused to second the previous ques-
ton by vote OF "a to 100, and the amendment was
received, and the discussion proceeded.
Mr.. HkwLRY, trep.l Of Conn, IN response TO an
inquiry, said that in courts martial an accused
had the right TO challenge the member OF o court,
the relevancy or validity Of which should be de-
cided by the court.
Mr.. Frye reminded the House that the court OF
inquiry proposed differed entirely from an ordinary
military court OF inquiry. 1t had nearly all the
latitude OF cOurtmartia. The reputation OF
General Howard is involved IN the finding, and he
only asked that he should have precisely the same
right as the accused has In court.martial He and
his friends wanted court OF inquiry, but they
wanted IL to be fair TO be righteous, to be just.
They would insiss on this and nothing more. He
had known General Howard from his boyho0d TO

THE LEASE OF THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN
As JAMES McHENRY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE 1T
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FORECLOSURE OF MORT
GAGE ON THE ROCKFORD, ROCK ISLAND AND ST.
LOUIS RAILROAD.
Wall-st. was undisturbed yesterday by any ex-
citing influences, and the fluctuations of the stock
market were gentle and quiet. The developments
IN the settlement of the affairs OF The Columbus,
Chicago, and Indiana Central combination have
proved to DO of startling character the liabilities
OF the bankrupt brokers being estimated at $4,000,
and their assets at $4,000 The German bond
holders of the Rockford, Rock Island and ST. Louis
Railroad have requested H. Osterberg OF
Frankfort to represent their interests, and 1t
Is likely that an early purchase OF the
mortgage on the road will be made. James Nc
Henry in a conversation with q reporter OF The
TRIBUNE, said that the Erie owed the Atlantic and
Great Western 100000 for the use of the latter
road All the latter desired was an equitable ar
rangement, whereby the Erie would lease the At
lantic and Great Western Railroad, and pay the
latter simply its own earnings. IL this were not
done, the Atlantic and Great Western, with its 1000
miles of roads, would make other arrangements
and reduce the Erie to a merely local road.
