New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-12-27


members of the Returning Board as in
famous puppets of Radicalism, STOPPING to
defraud the white people of Louisiana of
their hard earned victories. 1t advise calm
and determined action, and asks:
Will the people stand these outrages or
will they take the matter in hand and as
they have said they would do, teach these
villains that they can not perpetrate these
frauds and 60 UNPUBLISHED!
The noble Caucasian, of Alexandra, is
anything but calm and peaceful. The new
members Of the Legislature will probably
take EXCEPTIONS to its language, be they Re-
publican or Democrat, but it is given as
printed:
With the same old corrupt Legislature,
composed of ignorant negroes and unprlncl-
pied carpet-baggers and renegades. with all
fear of Impeachment out of the way, and
with the army and navy to put down the
White League, Kellogg will commission
whom he pleases to the parish offices, and
he will please always to commission the
same old crew of political buzZards and in
satable jackals who have robbed and plum
dered US to the verge of bankruptcy and
paralyzed all industry in the State. Thus
is the sovereign will of once free people,
lalFlV anu uOubStlt cApIcsSCu ouC COu
stitutional method OF the ballot, to be over
thrown by band of cOnspiratCrs whose
head and front is the drunken knave who
fills the President chair to its disgrace and
his everlasting infamy.
The question presents itself here that we
have heard upon the lips of every one for
some time. What are we to dot" 10
that question there can be but one answer,
and that answer is comprised in single
word, fight.
When, whore and how must uc data"-
mined by future developments; for tse
present we Gun do nothing but make sure
we are prepared. well prepared to 90 any
where on short notice, and that we are
ready to obey any call. Rapides is pledged
to seat her members in the Legislature and

| admits. The Returning Board may count
them in. but no one OF the defeated candi
dotes shall have an Office in this parish. and
our members of the Legislature shall have
! their seats.
! The reference to the President az 9
drunken knave and the counsel to fight, il
both bad language and bad advice; but it il
specimen of journalism popular in Louisl
ana. and goes for what it is worth.
| The Indicator speaks thus unkindly and
threateningly Of the newly elected Repre-
| sertatives of Natchitoches parish:
The people of Natchitoches have come a,
\ last to the wise conclusion to put stop Il
being represented by these interlOpers. and
| we will be in New Orleans in sufficient mum
bers to see if our will is not respected.
| Pierson has rendered himself more than
odlous to the white people OF Natchitoche'
| parish: his character was nothing before
l ne1 "a r Y
| youth was anything but good: deserter OF
his country during the trying hours OF thu
| war; ne deserted his home-peOple, his race
| and family during the last campaign, and
| gave with his braZen cheek and bluflng
| atfrontry. all the backbone the gang OF vii
lains had, since June last. 1t Is therefore
but to be expected that we hold him more
guilty than even Boullt, and when the hour
comes he will learn how we reward those
who betray us.
Ira still more pointed article, echoing
other minds, the Baton Rouge Adpocate Of
the twenty-fourth instant has the following
editorial, full of mischief and murder:
North Louisiana talks war to the hilt
The people in that section of the State say
that their rightfully chosen parochial OH
GERS shall be seated, and that, come veal
come woe, their Democratic members OF thu
| LEGISLATURE Suall 10 6CdUou,
| ing the action of the Returning Board
They say that at the commencement of the
canvass they pledged their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor, If successful
to maintenance in power OF their legally
elected represen tatives, and that they in
tend to do it, They will go to New Orleans
in sufficient numbers to seat their members
and woe be unto the dirty sceundrel who
dares say nay. This looks like business
Although East Baton Rouge fought a hard
fight in the canvass and was defeated at
the ballot-box, she is not so discouraged as
not to respond literally if her sister par
ishes. who have been successful but were
swindled by the Radical Returning Board
need assistance. If anything at all is done
in this matter it should be sweeping and de
clsive. Not single rascal who attempts tt
take a seat against the will OF the people
knowing himself to have been defeated
should escape just punishment for his i'm
pudeucs and impertinence. We shall sex
what we shall see. The end is not yet.
