WHITE LEAGUE DESPERATION

WHITE LEAGUE TON
Our last issue recited at some length the
temper of the Louisiana Democracy and
its sullen efforts to persist in the mutiny of
last September, which the opportune arrival
of Federal troops alone arrested. Having
again failed to carry the State, and thereby
damned its pretensions made to Congress
as to the ~ election, the Democracy is
now condensing its chagrin and spleen
upon the tribunal by which the returns
Of the election are to be canvassed and pro-
claimed. Although just accorded the rep
resentation it demanded on the returning
board through the grutuitous retirement to
that end of Gen. Longstreet, Republican
member; although it was afforded an equal
proportion Of registrars, clerks and com
missioners Of election, the Democracy can
not Tepress its instinct TO compel the board
TO proclaim an audacious falsehood. On
the 18th instant, as we stated yesterday,
the New York Herald correspondent tele-
graphed "The White League circles are
excited, and threaten to lynch the men,
''bers of the returning board" On the
l4th instant, the same correspondent an
nounced that the White League of Shreve-
port had offered to rally in New Orleans
and assist the instruction. This morning
will be found an article reproduced BY tele-
graph from the Gblest White League organ
of Louisiana, the Shreveport Times, and
its terrible candOr challenges serious atten-
ton. 1--WE cannot afford to be defeated"
it declares; 'let every officer, from Con-
gresham down to constable, in every
''district and parish, be killed, if returned
''by the board" Such satanic terms de-
note a mischievous determination that must
be met.
The White League, drilling night after
night and maintaining rigid discipline in
their vast military organization, can proper
ly be confronted by Government troops
alone if the publicpeace Of Louisiana is to be
assured. The troops now in Louisiana as
national police will we apprehend, have
much TO do, until the assemblage of her
legislature, into whose seats the League is
obviously determined TO thrust candidates
not elected of its own. Especial vigilance
should be exercised lest the returning board
be subjected to more than the intimidation
the League already attempts, to wit, open
violence. To say that the League would
not proceed to such an extremity is idle.
None believed it would venture in Septem-
Der - assault de faeto government pro-
tected by Executive sanction, yet a mob,
vexed with passion, did so, nevertheless.
The returning board is now the sanctuary
of the voice Of Louisiana. That the Pres
ident is no less yigilant than heretofore as
TO the danger that menaces that Republican
State is beyond question. Great alarm
prevails in many parts Of the State, but the
immediate terror of more serious moment

MAD AS 4 MARCH HARE.

The New York Tribune of Monday
again exhibited unmistakable evidence of
the rabies. After expressing pleasure at
the assurance that the President had not
modified his financial opinions, without,
however, a single word of manly apology
for its late delirious abuse of him, it pro-
ceeds to assert that "it is no longer a Sc
'tCret that the reason why it (the civil
rights bilD did not pass the House of Rep
''resentatives was that the Republican lead
GERS had certain information that the Pres
''ident would veto it. Since the Sd of No
"vember he has openly avowed his hostil-
city to the bill. He has denounced it as one
"of the chief causes of the Republican de-
"feats; as a wild Utopian scheme of Mr..
"Sumner, in which the country did not
"believe, and he has declared that he will
mot sign it if it pass the House" The
Tribune must have known that the above
assertions were entirely gratuitous on the
part of somebody. 1t knew that the Presi-
ident stood committed TO the principle of
"better security of the civil rights which
"freedom should secure, but has not effec-
'tually secured to the enfranchised slave"
1t knew or ought to have known, or might
just in common charity have believed,
that he had not changed front on this ques-
ton any more than he had on that of
finance and currency. 1t knew that the
President had justly and properly refused
to interpose his opinions in advance to in
fuence legislation upon the currency, but
that he promptly vetoed the inletion bill
after taking time to fully consider and ana
lyze its provisions. And from this fact
alone it might have known the falsity Of
the assertion that he had menaced the Re-
publican leaders of the House with veto
of the civil rights bill in case 1t should pass
He was not committed to the provisions of
the bill in detail, but as we have had occa-
sion to say before this, the President is not
in the habit of bridging stream before he
reaches it. But in the face of all this the
Tribune exultingly asks if after this, - Gts
own unqualified assertion,) ''can it be
wondered at that men heard the story of
''the Presidents change of policy on the
financial question without incredulity?'
Mad as a March hare!

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Mobile Register says: 1.-THE Democrat who
goes upon the bond of q nsgro-elected Radical is
as much an enemy OF the State as the basest
Radical among them" federation is not one Of
the Democratic virtues.
George S. Boutwell, was the last Democratic
Governor OF Massachusetts,, and not Marcus Nor
ton, as has been stated Mr.. Boutwell, was elected
by coalition Of Democrats and Free Sellers In
the Legislature OF 1851, and reelected by the
popular vote in 1852.
The list of men in Missouri who are aspiring to
Carl Schurz's scat in the United States Senate is
getting long. 1t already includes Gen. F. NJ.
Reynolds, ex-Gov. B. Gratz Brown, George G.
Vest and Stilson Hutchins.
Mr.. w. W. HOLSTER, of Santa Barbara, is ia
vorably spoken of by several California neWspa-
pers as good man for the Republican nomina-
tion for Governor Of that State next year. He
was one Of the pioneers Of the State, has made
fortune in sheep-raisng, and has never been
prominent in politics.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the nomina-
ton by Milwaukee paper of Mr.. l. B. WASH
burne as the next Republican candidate for the
Presidency, says: A" The Republican party will
elect the next Presidents that much isas certain as
any future event can be. Whether.the Presidents
name will be Washburne, or Conkling, or Blaine,
or Wilson, is a question for future discussion.
An early nomination will not help man If he is
not secure OF the affections and respect of RepuO-
lieans throughout the country; and one who has
these can afford to wait for the recognition OF his
merits at the proper time"

WHAT OF THE FUTUREg

The past is gone beyond recall. Crimi-
nations and determinations avail nothing.
Agreement as to the causes of the recent
Republican defeat seems impossible. Per-
haps it is not very important The future,
however, remains. The question now is,
what shall be done with it? Can we revive
our industries? Is it possible so to shape
public policy as to affold labor to the Idle?
With prosperity contentment walks hand
in hand. IdIeness is the parent of vice and
discomfort.
When that great General, that wise and
sagacious statesman, the first Napoleon,
made peace and disbanded his armies, he
originated public works to keep his men
employed, stimulate industry generally and
develop the boundless resources of his vast
empire. The result was a short era of mar
vellOus accumulation Of wealth throughout
his dominiOns and the birth Of various en-
terprises promising great self-sustaining
power and long continued career of pros
perity if peace could only have been NAM
tanned. But the grasping ayarice of Britain,
in furtherance Of her policy of forcing her
manufactures into continental dominions,
even at the point of the bayonet, again and
again lighted up the whole continent of Eu-
rope with the sanguinaTy spectacles of
war. She finally succeeded in forming
combinations under which the star of Ma
pOleon sunk TO rise no more. She foresaw
that if peace was preserved the great
genius of Napoleon, seconded by the untir-
ing energy which made him so invincible
in war, would succeed in developing his in
dustrlal and manufacturing and maritime
policy until she would be deprived of her
title of Mistress of the Seas" and have
moreover a formidable rival in her vast
mercantile and manufacturing schemes.
Her only alternativo, as her statesmen of
that day saw it, was the destruction of the
Emperor, and to encompass this she directed
all her efforts of diplomacy and capital.
When the Third Napoleon was threat
ened with bread riots and disastrous revo-
luton he dismantled the old city of Paris
and reared in its stead the proudest and
most magnificent city of Europe. This
transformation combined, with the exc
cution Of many other public works Of
utility and grandeur in different portions
of the Empire, gave labor and bread to the
indictments and deprived the shafts of his
enemies Of their venom. But more than
this, his example was contagious. His large
expenditures of public funds in this direc-

is in her capital. The national police
should surround the returning board before
the wild standing army of the League is
rallied anew to invest it and oompelIts sur
render in fraudulent returns. Sufficient
progress has already been made by the
board TO indicate Republican ascendency
in the election; hence the frenzy of the
League TO intimidate the board into an Off
cial denial of the fact through the returns

THE NEWsPAPER QUADRILATERAL.


The newspaper "quadrilateral" consisted in
consistently of six papers-the New York Tri-
buRe, the Springfield Republican, the Cincinnati
Commercial, the Chicago Tribune, the Louisville
Courier-Journal and the st. Louis Republican.
AS Hans Breitmann wanted to know about the
''barty," where are those papers noWf The Louis
vile CoUrier-JOHrnGl has gone back to the De-
moeracy, and is acting within the lines Of that
party to secure reform; the Chicago Tribune has
gone back to the, Republican fold, and is working
to secure the sGssss OF that party two years from
this. The COh!HeTefGI hates the Democracy too
much for a paper that wants 10 support reputa-
tion for indifference, The New York Tribune
keeps up its independence so poorly that It Is
accused Of being the rival Of the Democratic
World; the Springfield Republican leans towards
Republicanism; the st. Louisz3epublisdn main
tains that neutral attitude that it iaucies is indie
pendence. II is about time to write that, once
upon a time, wrong notion Of what cOusti-
tnted an independent newspaper prevailed IN
the country, but the misconception did not last
long.

MORE WORK AND MONEY.

LWilmin gtOn IN. CD Journal, Dem.l
The Washington city REPUBLIcAN is calling
Justify upon its party In the brief span Of life LEFT
to it in the present Congress, to Go something to
make money and work more plenty in the North
ern States. THE REPUBLICAN thinks its recent
defeat is due, I'm very great measure, to the
'hard times" fer which the Radical party, as we
think, has been very properly held accountable.
Business is dull at the North, and, consequently,
money and work are scarce. When money aud
work are scarce, misery and want and suffering
are abundant.
