go Not when that intelligence has
,an, ~ ,ced in the supremeSt seihshness, as
s,m,ri9p. and arrogance, as it appears TO
;a~n done in the South. The superior intel
i',arr. of the White Leaguers there is often
nSrv a>Sump,iou. The carpet-baggers and
S.,ionars are oftener hated for their supe-
r:~r ;rt.llirerce and tact, combined with IN
dY.,-g rood habits, and attention to busi-
noss =. in the CouShatta parish, than for
snr uronr.doing. And it should be remem-
l.-,d that they are no less citizens than the
Iaarr,rs. and As such have the same rights.
Tn. recrocS also have the same rights, prigi-
Ipc4.. and franchises guaranteed to them un-
DIR the Constitution and laws as all other
ci.zaos. ;,
Tins in official circles it was generally
q,-eel that no good citizens would resort to
,be Yj,1,.ucc OF mob law to obtain power
for the minority which could not be OBJ
t3;pri through the bailot-boX and the courts.
The President was represented to have most
Indignantly denounced the violence of the
White Lcaguers as breach Of the parole
Of those pardoned Confederates who were
engaged 10 this outbreak, and expressed bis
determination 10 cause the majesty OF the
laws 10 be fully vindicated, il it should re-
quirc The entire forces 1t his command. No
apparent favor or leuiency upon bis part
shall hereafter he presumed upon to be con-
>trlled into wiuking at disobedience to con-
sUicd authority.
II the Hobbies Of the hotels and at the
club, the subject was universally discussed
lat evening, and while the appearance OF
civil coolct was generally deprecated, the
Democrats were prone TO find excuses for
thv Leacll.rs. Southern men generally eX-
lit,ed a desire 10 avoid taking part in the
discussions, prefcrring to leave the defence
Of their friends to Northern Democrats. Not
few. however, of the wiser of these de.
NouNcrd the outbreak in New Orleans as i'll
advised aud ill-tfned, because Of the reac.
ti0nary effect it will be sure to produce liz
TIE results Of the Northern Congressional
elections. For every vote gained in the
South they assert. and not without reason,
tsu will be sacrificed in the North. In the
enIhl;ie language of one Of them u" These
Southern AothcadS of ours. with all their in
te.isencc and physical courage and daring,
age without one id bit of discretion"
The sublime impudeGce OF Penn in tele-
graphing TO the President that be had re-
established the McEncry government after
two years OF suppression was Vari0usly COM
Ica.cd upon rs illustrative Of the "bOrn to
EUr spirit which perTadeS the advocates OF
The white mans government. Some thought
iAa. the utter Ch!iyiousueSS which Penn eX-
!ib.ed Of the fact that the President had
folly recognized and sustained the Kellogg
government Is legitimate during the two
Years Of McEnerS's obScurity, the most re-
igesliny instance OF cool presumption lately
PUT On record.
j singular Instance Of the effect Of the
operations Of the White Leagues is presented
10 the petition Of one thousand colored citi-
I'm: Of Cadd0 parish, La, to the President,
lccng the difficulties of their experience
during the last nine years of citizenship, and
their conclusion that it will never be COM
lAiihc FOR The two races to live in peace and
PROSPERITY together, and that they, therefore,
pray that they may he removed into terri
toiF Or reservation which shall be set apart for
IhelT own exclusive Use, after the manner OF
tAf Indian tribes.
by The colorcd people of this District the
news from New Orleans was received with
Indignant sorrow. Their sympathes are ma
.a!Aly with their race. They wish to see
,A"m July protected ia their citizenship, and
!AtiF f.ht 10 the elective franchise vindica-
lvu' While they would very much have
Preferred 10 have seen these cheerfully ac-
W!ued by tx, whites, they professed the full
81 iaha ana confidence that the President
YOU'D promptly and etfectually see it Sc.
.~te! 70 them. In this they will not be dis
appointed The President rarely expresses
su;A Indignation in look, manner, and words
ne exhibited when giving orders and in
