They we're fired with patriotic ar

old tar who had spliced the main
brace several. times this morning
they succeeded in getting him into q
hired boat and launched out to take
Jack on board the vessel. Gaily the
little bark danced on the waves of the
old Mississippi.
The strong arm of the Kellogg gov.
eminent was showing how it could
protect, in this insurrectionary city,
the weak and defenseless marines Of

sped on, and tears came into the eye.

Old Jack seemed to take everything

an old salt can, he waited until the
boat was some 300 yards out in the

CITIZENSHIP WARRANTS, NO Law

CITIZENSHIP WARRANTS, NO Law
THE INTIMIDATION GOES BRAvELY on
At an early hour on Saturday morn
ing, the town of Coushatta was sur
rounded by t. S. troops in charge Of
U. S. Deputy Marshal, Stockton, and
m indiscriminate arrest Of the citi-
zens began.
Major Abney and twelve other pro.
miuent citizens were taken in custody
and lodged in the courthouse In
charge of the Infantry troops station
ed there.
Stockton, the Marshal, refused to
show any authority for the arrests
and they we're made without ,carrants'
No one knows of the charges upon
which the arrests were based, as the
officials were also retlcent upon that
point.
Thus the work of intimidation goes
bravely on, while at one end of the
line we are asked to disband the
White Leagues, at the other, We are
vigorously attacked by the Federal
authorities in charge of U. s. Marshal
Packard, President of the Central
Committee Of the Kelloggites.

will he used. Who says Genl. Emory's
troops are not used for political pur-
poses!

Some Of Morey's Lies.

A reporter of the New Orleans
Times, having interviewed Brigadier.
General Morey, presents the follow.
ing report Of what that very distin.
guisl'ed and very honest warrior has
to say Of the election in North Lou.
isiana: .... ..... .-... ..
The General states that the cotton
crop of that section compares favora.
bly, with the past yield, and that the
latter crop will b very much better.
So far as actual violence was concern.
ed none existed Of which he had beeh
informed. On the contrary entire
tranquility prevailed 60 far as he
knew. Bat In the. parishes Of Union,
Jackson, Lincoln and Franklin, q very
bad feeling existed, which mi ght at
any time be productive Of serious re.
suits This condition of affairs was
due to the continuous efforts being
put forth BY the moro ultra to pre-.
vent q full and free registration. In
TACT, the entire tenor Of his informa.
ton, derived from reliable sources,
was that intimidation was employed
in the parishes indicated. The Com
promise was being generally accepted
,Sy the Republicans, who supported it
because its terms only guaranteed
that full registration and free election
which under any circumstances the
Republicans of his district section
ofths State Of which he professed .
thorough knowlede-were determined
to have.
"rhe more moderate Copserva-
t'ves," said Gen. Morey, "are pleased
with the so-called compromise, be-
cauae they fofesee In ito possible ex-
ecntion q relief from the turmoil and
confusion {, sought to be initiated by
the'r more violent fellow partisans.
IN fact, these temperate Conserva-
yves have been subjected to almost
as much annoyance from their bitter
Political associates, because Of their
refusal to support the measures and

The Saturday Evening Post.
The Oldest and Best Story Paper Pub =.
lished.
Founded August 4, A. D. 1921.

For more than half century the
Saturday Evening Post has been the
GREAT LITERARY WEEKLY
Of tho Country, and has ever borne q
widespread aud unblrmisled reputation
for tho unsurpassed purity, refinement
and excellence of the Serials, Sketches
and Miscellaneous reading matter.
1t is pre-eminently
The Best Family Paper
that is published in this country, from it's
never containing anything that would
offend the feelings Of any one, either in
q religious or political sense, or that
could not b. read at any fireside without
objection from the most fastidions.
The circulation of the Saturday Even
ing Post, through not quite 50 large
perhaps, as its younger contemporaries.
il not, like that of some of them, tluctu-
ating, and too often slort-lived, but
SURE, SOLID AND SUBSTANTIAL.
based upon the intrinsic merit of the pa-
per itself and not dependent on any ex-
traneous influences, such as the populari-
ty of individual writer's, &c.
Good, however, as the Saturday Even.
ing Post has been in the past, it is our
intention to make it still better in the
future, and with this object in view we
will effect a marked improvement in eve
~ department. Of the paper, and will
call to our assistance writer's Of admitted
ability and known reputation.
BY increasing its former attractions,
and adding many judicious and pleas
ing novelties, by studying how to please
and cultivate the popular taste, by in.
creasing industry and enterprise, and by
enlarged facilities, We hope to make new
friends with each and every issue, and
continue to maintain the claim Of the
Saturday Evening Post to its title of The
OLDEST AND THE BEST Of Family Story
Papers.

We, the white people of Louisiana, EN-.

maintained by force and fiaud. in opno-
Isition to the will of large minority Of
me voters OF the state; in opposition to
the principles ofthe Constitution Of the
United States and in violation of eyery
principle Of justice and liberty.
. That the dominant faction Of the
Radical party in this State has, BY fslse
and fraudulent representations, inflamed
the passions and prejudices Of the ma.
groes, a. race, against the whites, and
mas thereby made it necessary for the
white people to unite and act together in
sci. defense aud the preservation Of white
civilization. ~

constitntionally enact laws to 5orce the

have no desire to deprive tho colored
people OF any rights to which they ara an.
titled, but we are convinced that tia ~.

effected only by electing to otioe vhite
men Of known capacity and integrity.
and We believe that large numbefs Of
colored citizens will vote with ua tn "a.

RESUMPTION.

Much. discussion is going on about the
financial bill necently passed BY the United
States Senate, especially with regard to the
feature In it conserving resumption. Those
who are against resumption are against 1t
because it contains this feature, and those
who are in favor of resumption complain
that 1t does not provide for enforcing re.
sumption. We imagine it to be a matter oil
very little importance. congress may at any
time change or repeal the clause. We doubt
whether the lower house will pass the Sem
ate's Gill; and il 1t should, Congress has the
subject still under its CONTROL Laws to com.
pei resumption, 10 the nature of things, are
of no account. When the country is ready
for resumption it will resume. The very
process by which an attempt is made to
get ready for the law will block the way to
resumption and stultify the wise law.

Since the war all Of the merchants together

the negroes, or TO those who hired them, a
single pair of brogans, a yard of osnaburgs,
a hat or cap, blanket, but few printed cot
ton handkercblefs, nor ten pieces kerseys

tbeir earnings in whskey, bacon, corn-mea,

sugar and coffee, regarding hats, shoes, blan-

GEORGIA BONDS IN New YoRK.-Mr. Ed
ward Brandon, chairman Of the Committee
OF Securities of the New York Exchange,
having notified Governor Smith and Trea-
surer Jones, of Georgia, that the Board had
resolved to strike-the bonds Of that State
from the list ofquotations unless the interest
on certain specified bonds was paid, these
officials have responded in very independ.
ent manner. The Governor says, in effect.
that be is not at all frightened by the threats
of the Board; that he really doesn't care il
the bonds of Georgia are stricken from the
list of quotations, and that he even believes
1t is impotent 10 lpjure the credit of Georgia.
Treasurer Jones says:
"As to anything the New York Exchange
may arrogate to itself in the North, take
this occasion to say that, feeling under no ob.
legations to that concern in the sale Of her Sc
curities In the past, but relying on the pub
lie Spirit and honor of her people, the State
of Georgia has not heretofore asked its as.
sistance, and does not now require it's en-
dorsement for The maintenance OF her credit
Indeed, our universal feeling Is that we can
get along not only without such influences,
but in spite Of them"
