1 We present herewith an extrac,
from a arecent editorial article which
appeared in the Shreveport Iaaes and
which has excited much comment
from the press in all sections of the
country, }. as exceeding in venom and
harbaric instinct any thing yet pro-
posed BY the organs of the White
League for obtaining supremacy in
the Louisiana government. Such out.
bursts Of siahussaa- hate do ~asero SER
vice to the cause of RepubHcanism
than the most elaborate arguments
in its airport and defense could 1ac-
com.plish,. II The cannahilistic. Times
says: .xs4-sssa. les
We have no appeals to make to our
fellow-citizens of New Orleans; we
know that the men of the fourteenth
of September will do their whole duty
as freemen and Louisianians jealous
Of their liberties. But throughout
the country parishes there should be
concert of action, and that action
should be prompt and emphatic. In
every parish where the officers elected
by the people may be counted out
by the Returning Board, the people
should use hemp or ball on the de-
feated candidates counted in. To To-
calize the proposition: If George L.
Smith is counted in over w. NJ. Levy,
or if Twitchell is counted in over
Elan, let Smith and Twitchell be
killed if johnson and Tyler, in De
Soto, are counted in over Scales and
Schuler, AS the New Orleans Repub-
Hcan thinks, or if Keeting, Levisee
and Johnson, in Caddo, are counted
in over Vaughan, Horan and Land,
then let johnson, Tyler, Keeting Lee,
visee aud johnson be killed; and so
let.eyery officer, from Congressman
down to constable, il every district
and parish in the State, be served
when the people have defeated and
whom the returning board may
" count in" -.J$} .GIS
Commenting upon the above, the
Cleveland Leader Gays
There is an editor in Shreveport
who should have lived III the Canni-
bal Islands during some generation
far back in the night Of time. LOU
isiana and the Dineteenth century are
neither bis place nor time. He should
have lived heretofore and in land |
where the hoarse raven. could. have
his fatal elstraDce silftu d
household. He is not one Of your |
mere "nigger shooters. He takes a |
higher kind of game aud PROPOSES
that every YRalical !" who ID de-
ila,ed elected t" Congress he ass.s-
sinated. If the New York He,udd
could only get this editor and tnrn
iiua loose upon tho people it would
make far greater sensation than was
made by letting loose the wild ami
nals.upon the populace. .....--
The Chicago Inter Ocean also has
to say upon the subject:
Ii the State Board OF Canvassers,
sitting at Springfield, should retnrn
Carter II. Ha, fison and Barney Caal-
ield as elected 10 t,,e Forty fourth !
Ionguess, what wOuld The people Of
Illinois think of a proposition to kill
hose gentlemen J.! Don't be Affirmed.
We are NOT Sc. iousl.y suggesting the
of the eminent patriots
lbove referred to. But suppose for
|. momenI that we were. And sup
,ose that. there were fools aud cut-
hroats enough 10 Chicago to follow
'ur advice. What then? Now let
IS quote from tie Shreveport Lou .
siana) Times Of November 18th: .a
"We should simply give the mem
'ers Of that board tine Returning
'oard) to distinctly understand that,
nless they return the elections as
hey we've returned at the polls, they
nd those that seek to count in will
ny the forfeit with their lives. To
Dc,lize the proposition If George
J. Smith is counted 10 over w. NJ. It
.evy, or if Twitcbcll is counted in
ver Elam, let Smith aud Twitchell
e killed; ifJohnson and Tyler, III T,
,e Soto, are counted in over Scales !
I'D ,scliuier, is the New Orleans ,
republican thinks, or if KeetiDs.
.evisee and johnson, in Caddo, are
onnted in over Vaughan, Horan and :
AND, then let johnson. Tyler, keet-
lg, Levisee and Johnson be Killed"
The immense cause Of this iirea5f
J the rumor mat the Returning Board {
ill throw out some precincts on The :
round Of fraud. OF course, if {
'ropgfnhv rejected, the candidates
fected have their remedy in the |
Durts lsnt instead Of this, and while
DDtessing that intimidation was ex-
rc;sed at the polls, the Times advises
lnrder if these frauds ate taken no.. :
&c Of by the Returning Board. W" Il
We suppose there are laws in Lou !
lana to punish those who thus con-
i've at murder and this fellow ought
} spend couple Of years with a
all and chain attached to his leg,
