RETURN OF LIB. BECEWITR.

Mr.. Beckwith, tie able United States
District Attorney for this district, has re-
turned to the city. He has been absent a
few weeks on trip North, during which
time he visited Washington: New York,
and other prominent places. tits under
stood that Mr.. Beckwith's trip was made
for the purpose of consulting with the
President and Attorney General Williams

Louisiana affairs had reached when he
left here. At that time the White Leaou ers
had taken violent possession Of several
parishes in Northern Louisiana. RIM ont

MAGNANIMOUS FORBEARANCE.

When the excited army Of reformers
demanded the resigna ton of Governor
Kellogg, it was alleged that the oppression
and corruption of his government had
suspended the commerce and sold TIE
houses Of our citizens. At the same time
it was palpable that the very same people
were groaning under nearly double the
debt and taxes and fourfold the expendi.
lures for the administration of the city.
The wonderful forbearance Of which we
write is shown in the entire abstinence
of the rifle reformers from the Use oe any
disrespectful epithet toward the Mayor
| and Administrators, and on the fact that no
proposition has ever emanated from any
Ct. them to scale the city debt, reduce the
city taxes. or cut down the city expendi-
lures.
It would have seemed that s23, OOO, COO
Of debt. for which no productive invest
ment can be shown, that 100000 of
expenditure in streets. schools. police and
interest, should have attracted the atten-
ton of men Infatuated with abuses and
ground to the earth by taxation.
There is one popularity Of the late con-
test for reform. Governor Kellogg was
requested to abdicate his Office, with all
its patronage and perquisites. The Re-
formers played for call in sight" They
intended to have the State government
just as it was in the hands to which they
attributed so much corruption. Was it
assumed that all Republicans were per-
sonally dishonest. and all who went under
any Democratic alias were personally
pure?
If Mr.. McEnery had succeeded in his
raid and got away with the State
government he would have been subro.
gated to all the powers and possibilities
of abuse for which Governor Kellogg has
been denounced.
It is the principle of a Republican gov
eminent that no powers should be ex.
tended to a good man which bad man
could abuse, and if the Reformers really
feared the abuses Of the State government
they would have preferred to cut down
he capacities Of corruption if they exist.
1t was the same with the city govern
ment. The fight is for the ship and cargo.
There has been 70 demand for the correc-
ton Of any abuse or the limitation Of any
power.
We sincerely believe that if the State
and city governments could be stripped Of
their facilities for private and officia,
gains; if the shrievalty. the assessorships.
the clerkships could be shorn of their ex.
cessive profits. there would be no contest
over them.

THE RIDERS ARE UP.

That there was neve. any purpose
on the part Of the Democracy to re.
form the State Or city government is to
our mind apparent from the fact that their
committees in conference for the past
week have never alluded to the desirable
reforms Of the law or constitution. II

CONGRESSMAN MOREY.

Hon. Frank Morey. Representative in
Congress from the fifth congressional dis.
trict of this State. arrived here from
Washington last Saturday evening. From
him We learn that the people Of the North
are decidedly averse to any compromise
being made with the persons creating the
recent disturbances in the parishes. caus.
ing the death of many persons and cul.
minating in an attemp: to revolutionize
the State government /. must be con-
fessed the idea Of compromising with
murderers should be repugnant to all law,
abiding citizens; but if there is any way
for political opponents who have not
stained their hands with blood to honor
ably compromise, let it be done.

be such as may be found in another

to be such as may be found in another
column.
1t seems the Conservatives have man
fully admitted their responsibility for vio-
lence and intimidation throughout the
State; their ability to suppress the same,
and their willingness to pledge themselves
to do SO if the Republicans will make it
worth their while. The bonus offered by
the gentlemen acting as representatives of
the Republican party in the conference is
the promise Of two appointments on the
returning board within twenty days and
the creation of an Unofficial "adyiscry
committee, whose duties are to consist in
instructing Governor Kellogg in his du-
ties. If the Governor finds the advice
this committee may offer to be liz accord
ance with law, he will adopt it; but, if
otherwise, re suppose, he will be free to
reject it.
SO tar as this or any other action of any
number of citizens may result in giving
us full registration and fair election,
every true Republican will say amen.
We believe our whole party demands
nothing more-w;ll be satisfied with moth
ing less.
The change on the returning board,
however, is thing not so easily effected.
As honesty is the main point, it may look
like an imputa:ion upon the character of
the members who will be asked to retire.
In case such demand is met with fat re-
fusal. we suppose the negotiations will
come to an end, and the Conservative
committee be absolved from their bond
to keep the peace. As the Republicans
can find no legal means to carry out the
obligation to place two positions on the
returning board at the disposal of the
Democracy, the latter will doubtless
consider themselves justified in again I'M
claiming the dogs of war in the country
parishes, unless the eight companies of
cavalry now marching this way shall
appear in time to spoil it all. If the
returning board fails us we must rely upon
the Union army. But we hope there will
be no further necessity for hostile words
and acts in any case. Now the two par
ties are endeavoring to make peace We
hope new idea will suggest itself to the
minority. Let our political opponents do
their best to assist the majority to rule in
telligently. wisely, justly and economi-
cally, and there will be sudden disap-
pearance of bitterness. The best way for
a minority to overcome majority is to
divide it and form an alliance with one of
the wings. For if the majority be forci-
bly, put down one day it will rise again
soon, and the same trouble will come up
again. Let the Conservatives try little
craftsmanship. 1t may succeed.

of thoroughly intimidating the colored
voters wherever the White Leaguers had
taken possession of a parish, AS bad as
matters were when Mr.. Beckwith left to
seek the aid of the federal government in
arresting the progress of violence, they
grew worse during his absence and tinall.,
eliminated in the murder Of six wy lite
Republicans arrested in Coushatt. and
an attempt in this city to overthrow the
State government, which cause!l the death
Of many persons and the wounding Of
many others. The thrill of horror felt by
the Northern people when the Coushatta
affair was made Encwn had not passed
away when the telegraph pierced their
ears with the information that bloody
revolution had been attempted at New
Orleans This had the effect of fully
arousing the people at the North and the
government at Washington as to the extent
of the crime involved in the purposes
and actions of the men engaged in the
work Of revolution, and the result has
been the determination of the govern
ment at Washington to sustain the lawful
State government of Louisiana by putting
down its enemies and making them an
swerable for their fagitious violations Of
law. The feeling Of the North is deci-
dedly opposed to any compromise with
men who have entered into league
against the State and II ordered people
in cold blood on account of their politi-
cal opinions. NJ. Beckwith is thorough
ly aware of the existence Of this feeling.
His return to his official duties is an
event to be welcomed by all law-abiding
citizens.

A Chicago Methodist church has given
Rev. J. C. Hsrtzell, Of this city, ''call'
to its passionate, and backed it with five
thousand dollar salary. It was reported
in the Chicago papers that Mr.. Hartzell
had accepted, but this is a mistake, as we
have positive word that he will be in New
Orleans in a few days and at his post as
presiding elder in this city. Mr.. Hartzell
has been offered the church referred to at
the salary named, but would not entertain
the proposition, feeling that his work was
in the South, although there is poorer pay
and more work.

proclaimed from some place that .the
