have deeper interests at stake-this ia the
picture Of the future which our business
men have been called or to admire.
Our business connections with Louisiana
are among the most important Of those
which minister to our commercial well.

leading feature Of our banking business,
and loans and advances and credits to
Southern planters and traders largely
occupy our capital. When We say that
this business is parslyzed now we state it
moderately. because if the state Of things
which caused it is continued the inevitable
consequence is death-and this is the re-.
verse OF the picture painted in such glowing
language BY the orators of Tuesday night.
The extent of this paralysis can not be
known to those who have nothing to lose:
the worse evil which impends can not be
appreciated by those who have no sense of
responsibility and know no other guide
than blind recklessness. But our business
men feel the evil and clearly see what lies
beyond it.. They have an account with
those who have done what little they could
to invite this ruin. and they are looking
anxiOusly to know whether they shall be
expected to cut their own thrOats at the

Tho Attakapas Register.

Our gallant contemporary, whose re-
peated misfortunes have been chronicled
in the REPUBLICAN. has finally concluded
to move to place of safety. Henceforth
it will hail from Brashear. in St. Mary
parish. The logic Of events which induced
this change is explained in its last issue:
We are now, and will hereafter publish
the Register at Brashear, St. Mary parish.
The change OF locality is not made of our
own free will; but we feel that to longer
issue q journal advocating Republican
principles in the village of Franklin is
merely to commit political suicide. On the
tenth of August the White League mobbed
our printing office-destroyed the press,
scattered the type IN every direction, upset
the ink, and utterly annihilsted the printing
paper. To re-establish the Register again is
only to be treated in similar manner by the
Franklin White League, consequently we
prefer safety and freedom among sensible
and thinking people to mob law and vio-
lence in the antiGuated town Of Franklin.
Our principles are Republican to the core
We look upon the White League as an or.
ganization conducted in the sole interests
OF otiice-seeking politicians. Men who pay
no taxes head the list for offices, and
through their influence the lesser lights
and generally honest men are induced to
unite with them 10 carrying out the hellish
designs OF intimidation and murder. We
are tree born American, proud of our birth,
claim the right to our political views, and
freely accord the same to every other citi-
zen. The Register will appear - formerly
a. soon as We receive the pieces from New
York to repair our press.

The State House.

Matters are again assuming ar air of bust.
ness at the State House. Governor Kel.
log and his private secretary, Mr.. Clarke.
settled down to work yesterday. Many
visitors called on the Governor during the
day. Among the first was Judge Prescott,
of Pla4u emines parish. He wanted the
Governor to appoint new supervisor of
registration for his parish, alleging that the
person appointed to fill that position was
incompetent. and the people refused to
register under him. Judge Prescott says
that unless competent man is appointed
not more than one-third Of those entitled to
vote will register. The Governor promised
to look into the matter. The dis.
turbances that have taken place in
many Of the parishes have seriously inter.
fered with the work of registration. In
some instances the supervisors of registra.
ton have been killed. These places will
have to be supplied by the appointment Of
other persons, and as there is not more
than five weeks to do the work in, it is
very likely that much of the Governors
time for the next few days will be occupied
in the selection of persons to conduct and
complete the work OF registration. This
work is rendered necessary in order to have
an election on the first Monday in N0vem.

The Louisiana Conflict.

All misunderstanding as to the Presidents
course in this crisis is settled by the de.
cision rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States concerning the DOrr rebellion
in Rhode Island. Then. as now. two rival
Governors and parties were contendiDg for
tho control of the State. 1t was decided
that the question, which of the opposing
governments in State is the esitimate one
Is not judicial, but political, and belongs
exclusively to the political department OF
the federal government to determine.
The constitution provides not only that
the United States shall guarantee to every
State republican form of government and
protect it from invasion. but on the appli.
cation of the Legislature, or of the execu.
tive when the Legislature can not be con.
vened. against domestic violence also.
Under this clause of the constitution it
rests with Congress to decide what govern.
ment is the established one in State, go
as to provide against case OF domestic
violence. They might have placed it in the
power of some court to decide the eontin.
gency. but they did not do so. But by act
of Congress, February %. 1895, they did
provide that "in case of an insurrecti0n in
it shall be lawful for the President of the
United States, on application of the Legis.
lature Of such State. or of the executive
when the Legislature can not be convened,
to call forth such number of the militia of
any other State or States as he may judge
sufficient to suppress such insurrection."
This, the court held, vests in the Presi.
dent the power of deciding when the ext
gency has arisen upon which the govern.
ment OF the United States is bound to in.
terfere. The statute constitutes him the
sole and exclusive judge of the facts. He
is to act upon the application Of tho Legis.
lature or Of the executive Of the State, and
consequently he must determine what body
constitutes the Legislature and who is the
Governor before he can act. If there is an
armed conflict, that constitutes q case of
domestic violence and one or the other of
the parties must be in insurrection against
the lawful government.
If it be objected that this power in the
President is dangerous and may be abused.
the same may be said as TO any other ar.
bitter. The ordinary course of proceedings
in court would be utterly unfit for such
an emergency. At all events. the power is
distinctly conferred upon the President by
the constitution and laws Of the United
States. and therefore must be respected and
enforced.-C Cincinnati Commercial

Scene Of che Coushntta Crime.

A gentleman who has been travelling
recently on BUSINESS tour through North
ern Louisiana. writes Us as follows of the
scene of the murder Of the Coushatta pfis.
oners:
Ihave iust returned from trip TO Ward :
store. in the lower part Of this parish--the
scene Of the killing OF the Coushatta pris-
oners-and see that you have made mls.
all done in this lCaddo, parish. Devices,
Twitchell and Edgerton we're killed in the
road in front Of the Hutchinson plantation.
The two former where they were Overtaken.
and the latter. Edgerton. about half mile
further up the road. 1t seems that he
attempted to escape, and had got some dis.
tance from his pursuers. but was inter.
cepted by party who came up across the
fields. when he quit his horse. with the in.
river. but was shot as he went over the
bank. The others, then. were taken back
TO Wards store. a distance of about two
miles. where the whole party stopped until
nearly dark, when the prisoners were taken
into the woods about half a mile in rear of
the store and there shot. From parties who
were present when the bodies were found,
it seems that two Of them must have been
on their knees. for appearances indicated as
line. as they were all shot in the heart and
fore part Of the body. They are buried in
two graves-three in each-near whore
they fell. Devices. Twitchell and Edgerton
in little graveyard belonging to the Hutch.
Inson plantation. righ: on the bank Of the
river. and the Others in the woods.
OF course not much ia said about it there,
but the best citizens in the neighbOrhood
deplore it. and are. think, ignorant Of the
par.ie. who did the deed. A clerk at Ward 9
store. who saw the whole party, stated that
they were the toughest set he ever saw, and
that all were entire strangers TO him. 1t
seems to be the opinion there that the work
was done BIZ men from DeSotO. with pos
sibly few Texans among them, as . com.
pany from Panola county was reported
about Coushatta.

not listen to the last appeal of our sunny
South and wrench it from the hands that
polluted it! Yes. Let US kneei on the
grave of the "lost cause" and swear to
heaven to defend our rights.
Mooney. as his mama would indicate, is a
it is the lost cause he swears by.
In the same Suyar.Bo'r,. which was filled
on the sixteenth instant. We find an edito.
rial entitled martial Law" It is good
enough for reproduction and is as follows:
Just before going to press We learn by
telegraph that Grant has declared martial
law throughout Louisiana. Some unknown
individual named Brooke is appointed mill.
tary governor. Louisianians have no kind.
ness to expect from Grant. so we were not
surprised at this repeated attempt to tram.
pie in the dust the liberties of people de.
termined to be free: For the moment we
are ineolently thwarted. but sooner or later
freedom shall be ours, and we make no
thoughtless threat in saying that it is very
apt to be accompanied by another and moro
successful secession. In the meanwhile, let
all rejoice that Kellogg and his villainous
horde are forever disposed Of. The day Of
freedom is only postponed.
OF course the editor has been led ito his
errors by one or two papers which are pub
lished in New Orleans. He is unnecessarily
severe on the establishment Of military
government. which the Leaguers claim IS
the very thing they wanted. but did not get.
As to "another and more successful seces.
sion." which els only postponed" that had
better be left for another political campaign.
Even the attempt to overturn the State
government has done too much for the
Democrats of the West and North.

Three Days and Out.

The beginning Of the end Of the "second
rebellion" 10 reached. Last evening Penn
and McEnery surrendered the State build.
ings aud archives to the United States, rep.
resented by General Brooke. This will, no
doubt, be speedily followed by the reinstall.
alton of Governor Kellogg. Aftervard the
arrest. trial and punishment of the leaders
in the rebellion must follow in due course
OF law. This, however, will be the business
of the State, and not of the United States.
An example ought to be made of the
rioters. No contingency can justify rebel.
lion in . republic where the ballot is in the
hands OF every male citizen over twenty.
one years Of age. It tho majority of tho
citizens of Louisiana desire change in tho
administration, the way is 20 effect the
change at the polls. To accomplish tho re.
little time, it is true. but not nearly 80
much as would be required to recover from
the anarchy which . change by force of
arms would involve.
Even the three days rule Of the revolu.
tiOnists foreshadowed the disasters that
would follow the success Of their conspiracy.
They quarreled at once as to the right Of
Penn or McEnery to fill tho position Of
executive. The conduct OF McEnery. in
keeping out OF harms way until the move
ment was cOnsummated, was thought BY the
partlsacs OF Penn sufficient reason for
ignoring the former and installing the
latter. ''TO the victors belong the spoils,"
shouted the triumphant barricaders. and
the forcibie expulsion Of McEnery seemed
to them equally desirable and justiiable
with the Overturning Of Kellogg.
All good citizens will sustain the Presi-
dent in his action, and ali patriotic citizens
who allowed. at the start. their feelings to
get the better Of their discretion, will. in the
end. be heartily ashamed Of Themselves.

sense. with few exceptions and without

formed that President Grant had no option
