THE PRESS ON THE INSURREC-

The Louisville Courier Journal has
a sensational article On the Louisiana
insurrection. 1t has been little too
vigorous against the recent KukluX
outr,.Qes to suit the bourbon Democra-
cy O.. Kentucky, so while it is com
pellet to admit that the White Lea
guers q wrong, it wants to make the
provccp'iou "a great as possible. 1t
says
We do not pretend to Justify the sense
less and reckless outburst Of Gov. Penn
and hi adherents, whO-whatever their
instigatiou-have placed themselves not
merely in the wrong legally, but in the
power of a cOwardly and malignant des-
potism, which will gluat over their folly
and stamp them out by the force of an ir-
resistible, muscular power, equally unreas-
oning and merciless,
1t is bad advice to say TO Infatuated Lou
isiana, " aim well and shoot low you can
not make it any worse than it is; and, as
you are resolved TO sacrifice yourselves,
you might as well be gratifed whilst you
are at it, but it is natural advice. The let
ter of the law is against them. They are IN
rebellion against a constituted authority,
which the Federal Government is bound TO
support. Kellogg, infamous as he is, and
vile as his gang may be, has only to call Tor
troors and get them He will do so, and
the end Of it all will be renewed successes

The Louisville Commercial says:
The object Of the White Leagues has
been obscured by the euphonism of plat
forms and public speeches, but it is simply
to get possession Of the State by killing,
