Proposed Convention.

Washington, Sept. 9.-An effort is
being made in this city to call together
the members of the Executive Com
mittee, to consider the propriety Of
calling 4 convention of the democracy
North and South to disclaim any SYM
patty with the reported disorders in
the South.
We'll, We have said it, and this only
goes TO prove the correctness Of the
stand made by those who favored the
White Mans party in Louisiana that
nothing had been done for us by the
National Democrats. Now we 90
farther and say, nothing is erer to be
done by them, for the South. Let u,
now understand the whole matter,
fully-fairly. We conceive it to be
as popular to abuse the Southern peo-
pie, with the Northern Democrat as
it is with the Northern Republican,
and this panderins to the morbid
tastes and desiles of the Yankee mob
for the smell of Southern blood, is as
much INDUCED in by one as the other.
Tie lapse Of years from 1861 to 1874,
have wrought no change in the trans
Mason and Dixon line Democratic
politicians, and the ranks ofthe party,
those of Northern men with Southern
sympathizers, are full Of jim Lanes,
Daniel DickerHns. We will not long
er be deceived by this false show Of
maudlin sympathy, Of the Northern
Democratic demagogue. Ours is the
condition of the Lark in 1Esop's fable
of the Farmer. The work is before
us and We must do it ourselves

The New Orleans Republican, 3os.

parading under ten-line headings, the
startling intelligence "that so many
negroes were killed in and around Cou.

from the dead bodies had driven those
living in that locality to the hills
All this is ncus to Cousllatta, as only

were decently buried. We of the

take pleasure in making not only the
citizens living adjacent to the swamps

Alligators with their putrefaction.
This hatred shall not he one sided We

Under Which King, Oh! Israel.

We have not been able as 4 weekly
Journal, to express our joy at the res
toration of the lawful peoples gov
eminent in the State of Louisiana, to
give voice to the feelings of gladness
that must have pcrvadcd tho hearts
of all true patriots at the success of
our manly brothers in New Orleans in
oveythrowing the base fraud that has
for the past two years, per force of
the bayonets of the Federal army,
ruled the destinies Of this great State,
and now before an occasion does 0c-
cur. comes to US the startling news
that Grant has again interfered, and
this time in his sublime capacity as
military ruIcr Of a once AmcricaN Re-
public. No excusc of the order Of u
Federal Judge, nought to relieve the
arbitrary act, it stands forth in bold
relief rs tho browning consumation of
the first step in our a1rance to 4 die
tatorship, with Grant as tho ruling
despot.
No reasoning can torture tho stu
alton into anything else. The con-
stitution fixes tho limit for the con-
duct of rulers, as well as tho ruled,
and it was framed for the guidance
of one as well as the government of
the other, and when the chosen rep
rcsentativo chooses to overstep the
vritten and implied basis of govern
mcnt, the ruled have the same right
to appeal to that doctrine which gave
birth to our Republic that our fore
fathers did.
No resistance was offered, save in
New Orleans, and that but momenta-
~, to the installation of the rightful
peoples government; in all this
broad land not one drop of blood was
shed in the defence of officials ere.
ated by fraud, against the demands
Of the lawfully elected in IS of the

The Revolution in the Parishes.

BY the many dispatches received
from the different parishes in the
State, it is clear that the Kellogg usur-
patton has been completely and thor.
oughly overturned. The honest aud
intelligent portion of the people arc
now in possession Of the local govern
ment. They are able to sustain the
position they have assumed, and ws
hope no paper orders from the Fed
eral Government will drive them from
their position.
We have tifty-seven parishes in this
State, and it will take a regiment of
Federal soldiers in each parish to
sustain in office the officials and APP
pointees Of the Kellogg usurpation.
This will require $1,000 troops. Is
the Government prepared to quarter
that number of soldiers in Louisiana
to maintain in power a fraudulent and
Infamous government
1t IA true that We of New Orleans
have surrendered to Gen. Emory, not
because he was able to compel sub
mission, but because gunboats and
other machinery Of the U. S. Gov
eminent which might be used against
us would result in the destruction Of
life and property greater than the
local interests Of the city would justi-
fy. But this, in itself, does not war.
rant surrender or submission to tho
Kellogg usurpation in the country
parishes, until actual demonstration
of physical and armed forces by the
Federal Government, are exhibited to
such an extent that resistance would
be fraitless.
Let then every parish in the State
drive from Office every usurper and
appointee Of Kellogg and maintain
their position until overwhelmed by t,
superior military force Of Grams gov.
eminent. Compel him to send troops
in evey parish in the State, and thus
convince the world Of the truthful
ness of the assertion that the Kellogg
usurpation cannot exist in Louisiana,
unless backed up by the army Of tho
United States.-N. o. Bulletin.

from the fact of their having served

The behavior of William Pitt Kel-
logg, during the troublous days Of
the recent rebellion, has not exalted
him in the estimation of his friends.
People naturally expects q Governor
of State to maintain it's dignity on
all occasions, and under all circum-
stances. When last Monday morning,
five respectable intelligent, unarmei
citizens, called on him to request his
resignation, and be detailed an "of-
ficer of bis staff" to meet them, re-
fusiDg to sec them himself, because
the arrangement had the appearance
of a ''menace," it was thought by q
great many people that tho respect
due to the Governor, and his office,
did not require such q manifestation,
as no harm could have resulted from
the interview. Subsequent events
demonstrated that Mr.. Kellogg cared
more for his own personal safety than
for the dignities Of his high Office, as
he left at once for tho Custom. House,
and las not been heard of since, ex-
cept by way Of the democratic papers.
He has issued no proclamation, de-
nouncing the illegal organization that
overrun the city, or calling on tho
people for their support in maintain
ing the government of the State. Hid
in the Custom House, he cannot be
found except by . reporter for a demo-
cratic paper who must have brass
enough to interview the Cardiff G liant.
1t is the hope and wish of almost tho
entire community of every color or
class that he may never be returned
to q place whose dignity and respect.
ability he has been entirely unable
to maintain. They prefer q military

On the 10Th, Kellogg, the ~hat not,
surely no governor, was installed by
the United States troops. We have
now Grants Government, and the
McEnery officials installed here will
give up only to the presence Of the

be followed in all the parishes, We do
not for a moment doubt. We have
