rsaE LOUISIANA RE3vezsrCsOx

The recent startling movement in
Louisiana is assuming another and &
vnry important phase.
Wednesday = dispatches stated that
Grant was very angry at the presump-
ton Of the white people in New Or
leans, assuming TO exercise for them
selves that which was wont to be
ctIle I ''thc divine right of revolution, -
but lat, developments incline us to
the opinion that he is more frightened
than angry It will ha seen. ly the
dispatches published to-day. TINT the

five Thousand troops (nearly all OF

frontierJ are TO be concentrated at New
Orleans, and in addition to this three
heavily armed war ships arc to be sent
to that point And al Of this, too, is
in the face Of the fact that the legal

session of it's own, has not only care
fully avoided even the show OF Il con-
nct with the Federal forces stationed
there, but have even been at particular
pains to formally notify the Admin
istration that Federal property il the
limits of the State shall be held sacred
from all violence ana injury. No one
bnt the Administrationists wonld affect
to believe, for one moment, that the
people of Louisiana contemplate
tie possibility OF Il conflict with
the forces of the United States.

Will stretch his authority to the utmost
in reinstating Kellogg. He has here

his perfect al1iliatiOn with such cattle
and he will hardly go back on them

4 SaO TRAGEDY

We regret to learn Of the tragic
death, at Lexington, Mo, on the 18th
inst, Of Mr.. Levin 4. Lane, native
and for many years resident of this
city. He was mortally wounded in n
difficulty which occurred between him
and one Eugene Ewing, a young man
and q farmer residing near Lexington.
The cause of the difficulty originated
in some testimony that was given in
before the Recorder in the trial of
some young men charged with crea
ting a disturbance. My. Lane was the
witness on behalf of the prosecution
and Ewing for the defense. During
the progress of the trial the latter
made some statements Of person
ally offensive nature which hIr. Lane
promptly characterized as being false.
About l o'clock of last Saturday, the
18th, the parties met on the streets of
the city when u few words only
passed between them, before the
firing commenced. It is said
that Mr.. Lane called Ewing a
liar and certain it is that the latter
drew n pistol, fired Gt HIr. Lane, and
then started to run. This latter also
drew pistol and fired at Ewing
| Both parties fell mortally wounded.
| hlr. Lane was shot through the left
breast. near the heart ard fingered
until the next morning, when he died.
HIS end was very quiet one. We
are permitted to make the following
extract from a letter to Mr.. FL. l..
Lane, i'll this city, brother of de
ceased, written to him by prominent
lawyer in Lexington. The writer says:
II don't think L ever saw a braver
man than your brother. He says he
knows that he is going to die, but is
not afraid to meet death-olly for his
wife and sweet babe. He has az ex-
cellent little woman for his wife and
one charming little girl"
Mr.. Lane was about 81 years Of age
and was a descendant of one Of the
best families in the Cape Fear section.
He was a gentleman in the true sense
of the word and as brave q man as any
that ever breathed. He served with
honor during the war and emerged
from it with the loss of strong right
arm. His sad and untimely death is
deeply deplored and all who know
him tender to his bereayed wife and
family their sincere sympathy in this
their terrible bereavement.

And it is not improbable that ths

journal would cease TO destroy theil
cause by its advocacy. The incendi
ary speeches ot Toombs nre not worse

The Kellogg usurpation in Loulsla-
na has produced its natural results IN
an appeaI to arms On the part OF cltl-
| zens Of New Orleans who have grown
tired OF the ontrages perpetratcd I'M
der the name OF law and justice for the
past two wears, and who tind themsel-
YES, on the eve of IN important cleo
ton, threatened With disfranchise-
ment by the gang Of roGues who have
seized the government OF the State,
and who are bent upon perpetuatlnS
their power at all hazards. The LOUIS
lana troubles had tner Origin IN carpet
bagger;sm and in mistaken notions OF
political e1pediency, which induced
the administration, Congress, and q
majority of the Northern peorle TO
give their support to certain political
adventurers at the South under the
impression that by this means alone
could the reconstruction laws be en-
forced.
The responsibility for the present
difficulty rests first with the President,
Or perhaps it would be moro correct to
say, with his peculiarly incapable AT
torney-General. Tho President and
Judge Williams knew that Kellogg
was not legally elected Governor OF
the State. There might have been
sonle doubt about the validity OF the
claims Of his competitor, McEnery,
bat there WAS none whatever about
his: and yet the President, by the ad-
vice OF the Acknowledgement, when
called upon to decide between the
claimants for the g1lbrrnatoTial char,
made the gricVoUs b!riudCr Of sust"ln-
1ng the man who t;ad not the slightest
claim to it. Il was this most unfor-
tunato DECISION winch has been at the
bottom Of most Of the difficulties iii
Louisiana during the past two years.
The President, however, after ali, was
rot SO mu9h to blame as Congress.
The New York Etl5rcS8 (Dem.) de-
nounces the President for again sup
porting Kellogg, but feels there is
nothing LETT for Louisiana but srbmis |
sion to the strong arm of the Federal |
The revolution must he
ended by legal and constitutional
means, but to stand by Kellogg's usur
patton would only add to present |
wrong. The Express urges that Gen.
Sherman be placed in command at
New Orleans, clothed with power to
see Justice done to white and black,
,nd to pacify the State.

informs Us of an accident that hap
pened to q colored man, name un-

tlon some twelve or fifteen miles this
side OF Abbottsburg, the name of
which our informant could not recall.
The man, who was probably between
iifty or sixty years of age, and is q sec
ton hand on the road, attempted to
Jump on tho train as it approached the
station. As he did so he was struck
by the platform at the depot and
knocked off and rolled along for dis
tance of some thirty-fve feet between
the platform and the car. He bled
considerably, and was evidently very
severely crushed when he was taken
up and carried into the warehouse ut
the depot. He was alive when tho
train left, but it is supposed that he
was mortally injured.
