PASSIONS rather than the pursuance of a
well determined plan for the restoration OF
the Old order of things, he had better disa-
i,usc himself of that notion at once. Every.
thing goes to show that the vicious. igno-
rant and bitterly pre- JUDGED element among
the whites not only entertain nrn beAet
tla. tiey can succeed by violence in defeat
io1 .he laws and gratifying their thirst for
VENGEANCE, but have organized a1d laid out
q definite line Of action with that purpose
n view. Through Louisiana they have
their leagues In almost every parish, whose
principles and plans Of conduct are 50
clearly expressed as to be entirely unmls-
taxable. We have before Us extracts from
the formal utterances of seven of these
leagues and from thirteen Democratic
newspapers indors;ny them, through all OF
which the spirit Of anarchy and aggression
is rampant.
New that affairs In the South are suH-
ciently clear to every intelligent reader,
what is the remedy. The State governments,
1t is perfectly plain, are either incompetent
or disinclined to cope with cutthroats. The
whole question is. then, whether these will
be allowed to continue their bloody work,
