negro and carpetOag ruie, is very simple.
The incendiaries who flood our country at
the approach Of every election must be
looked after; the proceedings of midnight
gatherings in dark and gloomy places
must be known. Incendiary teachings OF
the carpet-baggers and scallawags to in
flame the minds of the negroes must not be
tolerated again.
The Shreveport Times is par escelleace the
champion and advocate of the White
League assassins, and from that paper we
shall make several extracts. In speaking
of the late murder of poor old negco man
in Caddo parish, that paper, in its issue of
July 90, says:
There has been some ed-handed work
done in this parish that was necessary, but
it was evidently done by cool, determined
and just men, who knew Just how far to 90,
and we doubt not if the same kind Of work
is necessary, it will be done.
OF the Grant parish massacre the follow
ing language is used:
We say again that we fully. cordioily ap-
0rore what the white men OF Grant and
Rapides did at Colfax; the white man who
does not is creature SO base that he
shames the worst class of his species. We
say again we are Rolus " Carly lno CAcS-
tiOns in this State next fall
Speaking of the prospect of federal in
reference, the following paragraph appears:
If the federal government again strikes
them down, then let the infamy OF the deed
rest upon the shameless despotism that has
arisen out Of the malignancy and hate of
the Northern people, beneath whose with
ering influence no sentiment OF liberty can
survive: under whose policy of meanness,
cowardice and hate, every community that
does not worship il must b. trampleI in
| the dust, and every civiliz alton that Goes
not pay tribute to it blasted by its curse.
The Times of August contains the fol-
lowing:
1t has been charged that the white mans
party expects to achieve success by intinid-
| alton. This is strictly true. We intend to
| succeed by intimidation, and we place lit
| tie confidence in our numerical siren 9Th as
shown in the figures above given from the
ninth census. We rely tor success solely
upon in ntimidation-but not that intimiGa.
! ZION which is the result of violence and
| Dloodshed; our weapons are not to be i'm
| proved rifles and six-shOOters: the int.mid-
| alton we propose to win by, is that which
| great and just cause inspires in its Oppo-
| men Is: the intimidation which intellect, vir-
tue and all the manly qualities exercise over
| ignorance, superstition and human deprav-
| ity; the Intimidation with which the spread
banners of triumphant civilization fills the
! hearts OF of its foes, and with which the
cross Of Christianity strikes the bowling
| dervishes of brutal superstition. ..
The pleasing sarcasm of this paragraph
will be appreciated when taken in connec-
ton with the following extract. Speaking
| Of triumphant civilization such as the
! Times would inaugurate when its day OF
political millennium arrives, we reproduce
the following paragraph from another corner
of the same issue, begging pardon of our
readers as we do so, since, for long time nc
one has gone to his grave from among US
more sincerely lamented by all who knew
him than the gallant young man to whom
| this brutal paragraph refers:
THE INFAMOUS DEAD.
! Our dispatches this morning contain the
! gratifying intelligence that the Infamous
wretch. DeKlyne, is dead. OF all the 10 "
| and dirty beasts that radicalism has lm.
| posed upon Louisiana, this scoundrei was
the meanest and lowest.
| Some squeamish people may think that
| now the Fellow is dead, he should not be
abused. We think differently; such men
| are u u1eyFdCo 10 uuudultN, anu dlNO VI
dead, their infaDy should be held up to the
execration of the world, and the youth OF
the country taught to loathe and despise
| their memory.
| With the following threat, from the same
delectable newspaper, Of July 9, we con
clude our extracts for to-day:
II single hostile gun is fred between
| the whites and blacks in this and surround
| ing parishes, ere,y carpet-bagger and scaltn-
| rag that car be caught. aciH, IN trctce hours
| Meretrons be dangling from q limb. We do
| not say this is in spirit OF braggadociO, we
| say it in the interest of peace, and we know
| what We are talking about.
1t is with regret and modification that
we lay these extracts from our Democratic
| exchanges before the public; bat such an
arimus is manifested by the opponents of
republican government in Louisiana. that
we feel it to be our duty to present the
facts to the people of the State and of the
| nation.
In conclusion we will state that if any of
our Democratic exchanges, from which we
have quoted, feel that their sentiments are
not correctly presented in the extracts we
have made, if they will state wherein We
have done them an injustice, we will most
gladly place them in a different attitude
before the people of the country.
