CHARLES O'CONOR on LOUISIANA.

New York, Oct. 8.-Charles OConor in letter
to-day reviewing the argument Of Reverdy john
son on Louisiana says: "The single point in
issue between Mr.. Johnson and myselfis whether
an Executive error, (such he says the President
committed in sitting the legitimate voice Of Lou.
isians and placing usurper in the house OF
State,) binds the President himself and makes
him sort of legeman, so that ,cWy nMyhe must
thenceiorth be ever ready to come at the call Of
the usurper, and with the whole Executive power
of the Union crush all local opposition:
The ilIegitimacy Of Kellogg's original claims
is asserted by Mr.. johnson, with the concurrence
Of nearly every intelligent and disinterested per-
son having any knowledge Of the subject. This
should be kept in view, since much is always
gained in discussion by combining the issue to
its own precise limits. One advantage here is,
that it wi | enable those learned jurists who may
think Kellogg was duly elected to examine, and
without the excitement Of passion or Partially,
to form an Independent op.n on concerning the
johnson dogma that Executive resolutions in
such case are irrevocable. Mr.. O'Conor then
proceeds to combat Mr.. Johnson's argument and
to chow that the President can and should recon-
alder hia decision.

INTENSE EXCITEMANT AT
HAZLEHURST.
A Negro Robs and Sets Fire to Planta.
ton House.
He is Killed by Law Officers.
The Negroes Threaten to Lynch the Par.
ties.

We learn from gentlemen who arrived in
the city last night via the jackson Railroad,
the following facts: On Monday. Sept. %, a
man named Albert Beasley residing on a
DIantation about twenty-tw miles north of the
town Of Hazlehurst, in Copiah county, Miss,
left his house for the purpose Of making some
purchases at the county seat. He secured the
fastenings, and not fearing any harm to his
property, placed no one in charge. Returning
The second day after, he found his residence q
heap of ashes
After considerable search amongst the ruins
he failed to find the double barrel gun he had
left behind him. and this created at once the
suspicion that the dwelling had been robbed.
Hastily gathering his neighbors, search for
the incendiary and thief was at once inaugu-
rated, and it was learned that a negro named
Ben Barnes had been seen crossing field with
some bed clothes in his arms. The unfortu-
nate man and his friends repaired to the cabin
of Barnes and there discovered quantity OF
the plumber from Beasley's house.
The negro was taken under arrest at once,
and he confessed his crime. He stated that
on Monday morning, September %, he had
broken into and robbed the house, and the
following day set fire to it to cover up all traces
of his deed He was guarded by the neigh
boring planters, and commitment made out
returnable before Justice Trim, elected on
the Radical ticket
Beasley and a friend named Massingale,
were deputed as special officers by Trim to
convey the negro to Hazlehurst, and they
started.
Owing to the fact that their arrival ut the
town was delayed, rumors spread that the
negro had been lynched but on Wednesday
morning Beasley and Massingale presented
themselves, and stated that in an attempt to
escape they had killed the incendiary. They
surrendered to the authorities, and, after .
coroner's inquest, they were remanded on o
charge CT murder. That evening large
meeting Of the negroes was held in an
old shanty Just outside Hazlehurst, and many
violent speeches made. They threatened to
attack the Jail and lynch Beasley and Mas
singale for shooting Barnes. There was a
feverish condition of affairs in the town when
the train passed, and there was considerable
apprehension that there would be collision.
People were preparing to assist the law officers
in the discharge Of their duties.

How KELLOGG Is TREATING DESoTo PARISH.
The Mansfield Reporter, OF the Sd inst,
says:
The subject of registration is now annoying
the people of this parish considerably. kel-
logg will not appoint supervisor, and it
seems that he is determined to have no cleo
ton in this parish. But our people are de-
termined not to be deprived Of the right
suffrage, and unless Register should arrive
shortly, the o d list will be revised, and the
election held under that.

The ISSUE.

There seems to be strange misapprehen-
sion in the minds of sOme as to the terms
and probable effect of the compromise re-
Gently entered into at New Orleans and un-
der that misapprehension they are disposed
to yield the victory ere the battle has been
2ht.
This is all wrong, for, though We gained
nothing by the compromise, beyond the
promise Of fair registration and election.
and an honest count, yet we surrendered
nothing. The mere fact Of recognizing Kel-
logg as de facto Governor amounts to nothing
of itself, for all the world knows that he is
de tacto Governor, and with all the power of
the Federal Government to uphold him, it
would be idle folly to dispute the fact
But, while conceding this, we yield nothing
for which we have commended True we as
serted our rights by force, and they were
wrested from US by superior force, and for
time we must submit as best we may; but III
the coming election we may, if we all do our
duty, carry the Legislature and the parish off,
GERS, and SO redeem the State in spite Of
Grant and Federal bayonets
To do this needs but united, persistent and
determined action.
live have failed thus far to obtain our
rights, we have not wholly failed, and the
agitation of the Louisiana case has secured
the political redemption of Arkansas and
Texas
That our own will come in time there can
be no doubt, and it is our duty to work for it
and hasten its coming by every means in our
power.
Not in vain has patriot blood flowed In the
streets of New Orleans; not III vain the rich
sacrifice of her martyred sons been laid on the
altar of their dear Louisiana, if we who sur
vive them will do our duty and crown with
success the work so nobly commenced. We
cannot stand in arms against the Federal
power, but we can and must fight the battle
at the ballot-box. Puclic sympathy abroad
has already been enlisted in our favor; even
our bitterest opponents have spoken indig-
nantly and fearlessly in the denunciation OF
our wrongs. If we carry this election the
Administration will not dare, in face OF public
sentiment so strongly in our favor, to inter-
fere and again wrest from us the fruits OF
victory by the strong arm of Federal power
! But, whether or not We be permitted to en-
| Joy the victory after winning it, the victory
must be won, and to some good angel leave
the rest The futre of the State for all time is
upon the issue; we are engaged in struggle
for very existence and must fight it out. No
time now to fllter or take counsel Of our fears
no time to sum up the odds and count the
chances against us; our all is at stake and We
must win or lose it forever Nail our flag to
the mast, and when we sink, if sink We must,
let us 90 down with the last cheer OF an ex-
piring crew, faithful unto death.-Shrecepor

ON THE HIGHWAY.

GALVESTON, Oct. 8.-A Ne,rs special from Parls
Texas, dated to-day, says:
..rhe stage and hack coming from Brookston
was stopped by three masked men last night,
four miles west of here, and the passengers
robbed. The robbers secured 1925 in money,
two valuable gold watches and two silver watches.
J. NJ. Smith, Cashier OF the Merchants and Far
mcr's Bank, had package containing $4,000, a
fine gold watch and chain and diamond pin,
which his wife secreted behind the cushions on
the seat, and they were not found by the rob-
bers.
"The party claim to be the same that robbed
the Hot Springs stages and the train at Gads
Hill. The Sheriff organized large posse and
started in pursuit. The mail was not touched.

Among the many damning and outrageous
schemes OF Kellogg, is that he has failed to
order an election in this district for Judge and
District Attorney. He SET ms determined to
stop at nothing in order to deprive the people
of their rights. There has not been term Of
the District Court in this parish for two years,
and there is no telling when there will be one.

the ALABAMA JUDICIAL OUTRAGE.

MOBILE, Oct. 8.--The testimony in the Sumter
county case closed yesterday. Robt. Il. smith,
one Of the counsel for the defense, is now making
his argument. The decision. OF the COMMISSION
er will probably be rendered tomorrow. The
evidence is very conflicting. That for the prose-
cutiOn except Henry J. Greatas, Billings law
partner, is colored. The evidence for the de-
Tense ie part white and colorod. One OF the wit.
Renfro and Bullock, and swore positively they
were present at, and assisted In the killing, along
with twenty or twenty-five others.
The witnesses swore they were in the road ct
the time and saw the killing. Hilman was not
identified and will probably be discharged. The
evidence for Renfro and Bullock, establishing
abb, is strong. Several parties swore positively
they were at their respective houses, the nearest
nine miles from the scene OF the killing at the
time of the killing. There is discrepancy about
the name of HiIlman. He is called in the aida
Wit and warrant OF arrest, William Hlimsn; his
true name Is Phillip A. Hlllman.
The two main witnesses for the prosecution
swear that Billings, who was about thl!ty-five

residence, in Sumter county. Both man ana

swore Renfro came out OF the woods and said,
with an oath, halt, when the others rose and
fred Nothing was proved by the prosecution
as to previous threats of either of the prisoners
against Billings. The prisoners are quiet, re-
spectable-looking young men and farmers IN
Sumter county. Conjecture as to the probable
decision of the Commissioner is idle.
MOBILE, Oct. S.-Aiter the argument in the
case to-day, and about 2:30 P. NJ, the Compis-
sioner rendered his decision, committing Rehfro
and Bullock to Jail without bail and discharging
Hillman. The Commissioner refused to enter
into the constitutionality Of the law, and based
his decision upon the fact that while the evidence
establishing dtibis in the cases OF Bullock and
Renfro was strong, there was testimony enough
to Justify the commital.
After the decision, and before it was carried into
effect, the United States District Attorney asked
the Commissioner to hold Hillman until new
affidavit charging him with the whipping Of Viii:
son Doyle could be prepared and warrant issued
for his arrest. This the Commissioner refused to
do. Subsequently, and while at perfect liberty
Hillman told the q. 8. District Attorney that he
would appear at p. NJ. and give bail TO answer
this new charge.
