lance thatI ever NEEDLE with political
onestions, but there are times when il
Incomes necessary to abandon ones re.
tirement, to aid in rescuing whole
community from the ruin and desoIa-
tion which threatens it under the rule
Of the bad people who, through bribery.
corruption and false}s@earing, have
nsurped offices which enable them 70

more re. painful to behold is, that some
"to the manor BORN are ready to palli-
ate the enormities committed by those
depradators of broken down andlhelp-
less community.
, 10 illustrate this L enclose you a,pub-
lished letter of Ex-Governor p. 0, Her
bert, of the LIST inst, directed to the
Hon. Mr.. Bayard, Of the U. S. Senate,
calculated to do us much injury by pre-
venting the only means likely TO give us
some relief. Eazag
| am positive that he. speaks only sem
timents that are common to the attaches
Of Mr.. Kellogg and his so-called GOV
eminent. General Herbert has dis
qualified himself from Speaking for the
suffering white people of this Safe, bv
accepting an office from, and lending
his influence TO. those who have usu,.D-
ed the government to despoil them.
You doubtless retollect the commit
tee of citizens of this city, to Washing
ton, last year, in the face of Attorney
General Williams rude repulse;: this
committee advised, nevertheless, that
the case of Louisiana should be repre-
sented to Congress at this ess;on, and
committee of seventy appointed to
collect the testimony and to make the
presentation, which! work has been per-
formed to the entire satisfaction of this
community. @ g-4 ! --seG
A convention of delegates from the
various Parishes in the State, met here
in the early part of the winter, and re-
nesed their expressions of sdisapproba-
tfon Of the Kellogg government, and re-
solved TO communicate chat Gisapproba-
ton to Congress. sl-sa l,..
: Jrhe Government a II ID Legislature,
who were expelled from office by the
Evolutionary tribunal which issued the
midnight orders for Selling the Capt.
tol, and to empannel an illegal Legisla-
tnre, have met and hav submitted
their case to Congress. last winter a
creature named Lowell was the Speak
er Of the House of Representatives Of
The Kellogg Legisl.t lure, and United
STATES Post Master. He was dismissed
from the latter office OH charges of en-
bezzlement and larceny. Notwith-
standing this, he is still Speaker of the
House OF Representatives.. Why so?-
Because every man of the Kellogg Gov
eminent knows that larceny and en-
bezzlement have heen the principle of
that Government, looked upon, how
ever, as laudable efforts o improve
their personal condition. In the face of
these facts, the statement of General
Herbert, that the people desire to re-
pose in the arms of Governor Kellogg,
would seem to require some substan-
tiation.
But is this all that has been done? A
Committee of Congress has examined
the condition Of the United States Court
here, as administered by the Judge who
issued that midnight order. Careful
efforts have been made here and in
Washington to pge-ocerpy the public
mind in reference to the result of that
Investigation by false statements. The
evidence, OH the contrary, shows an
amount of eStortion, rapacjty. and
abuse, which belongs to the judicial
administration of no civilized country,
and, until now, has never been known
int the United States.
IL the Congress, with the view to COW
er up official NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., shall
nury the testimony and fail to perform
us dnfy, to afford redress to an Cypress
eo and tyrannized community, we shall
ne able to determine the day of the
