Appended. will be found a copy. Of a
letter, written July 30, from C~OuslIatta,
by w. F. Howell, n of the murdered
Coushatta victims, to Senator NJ. II.
Twitchell, indicating something OF the
early formed purpose which later on
evcntuated in one of the most barbarOus
massacres known to the worlds history 4:
CoUsHATTA, July 30, 1874.
Hon. NJ. II. Twitchell:
Dear Sir-There was a mass meeting
held here yesterday preparatory to the
formation of a White League. The
speakers were very bitter against you,
Pickens, Devices and Judge Tcnney.
They say that when you return they will
give you a warm reception. The speak
Crs but echoed the sentiments of the
meeting. They said the people had
made the mOve-had crossed the river
and burned the bridge behind them, so
there was 10 retreat left for them if they
we're disposed to retreat; that if the col
Ored people attempted to support and
protect their present leaders it would
cost them their lives.
In a private conversation ! had this
morning with PiersOn, Bullock and Alb
ney, they say no one is to be disturbed ,
that the words warm reception" in
their speeches only Observation-Disclosures
which they will have over your failure
to get soldiers. There is one suggestion
which I have to make as the most etfec-
tuaI means of reliefin the present crisis
to wit: The assembling of q State Con-
StitutiOnal Convention, just as early as
possible, and the formation of a new
State constitution and the establishment
of a great constitutional system of re-
FORM.
Urge this matter upon your friends
and have d convention called at once
Respectfully, '" W. +. HOWELL.

What OUR Merchants think Of
" eur Political AgitatiOms.
From the New Orleans Times

An attache of the Times yesterday
took occasion to drop in upon a number
of our most respectable and responsible
business and commercial men for the
ThrpOse of ascertaining their views on
the subject of the prevailing political
excitement, and especially upon the sub
ject of the methods of violence so bla-
family talked by the cOterie of weak
politicians who have insolently arroga-
ted to themselves the right to dictate
what should be the policy of the con
sentative people of Louisiana.
The visits were confined chiefly to
persons engaged in wholesale and COM
mission lines of trade, and we are glad
to be able to say that nearly all who
were thus called upon were prompt to
declare their opposition to all methods
of violence in the pending campaign.
Very naturally they were unwilling to
become mixed up in politics, but with
singular unanimity they agreed in the
opinion that the policy of hepoliticians
was likely to produce results prejudicial
to the commercial and agricultural in
~structive of all hopes of relieving the
State from the incubus of ignorant and
corrupt legislation. Some Of them ex-
pressed grave fears least the occurring
events, and especially the peculiar form
in which issues were presented, might
operate to defeat the Fort St. Philip
canal and the proposition that Congress
should take charge of and build the
levees of the Mississippi. Some also
were found who were dissatisfied be-
cause of the proposition to defeat the
constitutional amendments fixing limi-
tations on the debts Of the city and
State, and under which, or rather under
the legislation Ringing upon the amend
ments, taxation has already been reduc-
ed for State purposes from twenty-one
and one-half mills to fourteen and one
half mills. #r".. --s4. ~ .": -.a

It seems from the following extracts,
from Democratic papers, that the white
people of Mississippi will not organize
into a white league: 81 .a4. L+' .'3.4
The jackson, Miss, Clarion, of the 3D.,
says: We are informed that d move
melit was made to organize q Color
Line y association at Terry q few days
ago and that by the counsel Of that
sagaciOus statesman and patriot, Ex-
Gov. A. g, Brown it was abandoned.
rs We desirepeace. We desire general
prosperity. We desire q happiness and
c0ntentnent for every man, white and
black, in Mississippi. Could the whites
and blacks work in, harmony, all this
might be secured. When the ".cOlor
line is drawn IN our elections, however,
then will come troubles that We know
little of; troubles political, troubles To-
cal, troubles personal, troubles domestic,
and troubles at every hand.-- Raymond,
Miss, Gazette, DemOcrat.)
The above isthe conclusion of the old
est editor fill the State, and one OF the.
best, Whatever suspicion mayrest upon
the motives o. sincerity of others, no
,lnan will dare assail the fealty to the.
State, and To the white people of the
State, OF George w. Harper. His life,
his character, his intelligence, his lofty
integrity, and his unsullfed truthfulness,

ton. He speaks the words oftruth like
a true patriarch, and the people listen

of Coy. Kellogg's proclamation, Y I:
The document implies that Shreve-

most positively deny, That d body of

port on Saturday, the goth of August
was patent to. all, they left here for the
purpose of aiding their friends, who
were reported to be in greatdanger, and
overpOWered by an overwhelming num-

afternoon returned home the same night,
having been informed by courier that

Among the members of the New York
assembly who have gained an enylable rep

far above the ordinary legislator of the
present day, is Gen. George :. Batchelcr,
of Saratoga Springs. He is gentleman
of fine presence, rare ability and energy,
who carries stamped in his very presence
and dcmeanOr. a man OF no ordinary
mould. His manhood and integrity dis
played amid all the most fascinating forms
OF public and private corruption, have
meyer been wavcrnd from the straight path
as a legislator Holding leading position,
he impressed his views With conviction
upon his fellow members, and parted from
them holding q warm place in their regard
