idiosyncracies, Of course, may 60 in ex-
tenuation Of its course.
But the press was not alone in its oppcs;-
ton 70 the course Of the Governor. One
branch Of the Legislature hung FIRE for
number Of weeks on his financial scheme,
and majority was finally won by the repre-
sentation on the part of the Governor that
bonds could be readily sold, and that
money would be in the Treasury to redeem
the old pledges of the State IN thirty or forty
days. A little after this time the Governor put
his communication before the public, promis-
ing to have all the money desired in one
hundred days. To this promise he added his
celebrated II mean rhat say" The hun
dred days will expire on the nineteenth Of
this month, leaving only three days now
for the promise to be fulfilled, and yet not
one dollar has been secured. A large num-
Der of warrants have accumulated here for
the promised redemption, and contrary to
impressions they remain still in the pos
session of original holders. The people
have desired to test this promise, and have
not permitted their warrants to 60 into the
hands of spectators. In fact spectators
have been afraid to touch them. Should
this promise be not speedily fulfilled
the margin for speculation will shortly
be greater than ever before In the mean
time, the business men of Austin have earn
estlY hoped that the promise be met, and
anything within their power calculated to-
secure such an end would at any time have
been gladly extended.
The Governor has persistently declined
to call into his councils any of the financial
men of Austin, though there are those here
widely looked upon as gentlemen of high
standing, ability and worth, whose advice
would have been valuable. None, it is
true, have sought to intrude upon the Gov
ernor, but common ciyilities to those
among whom he was to be thrown for
four years would, it seems, have die
tated a contrary course to what he has
pursued, no matter how empty the demon
stration might have proven. The truth
is, Richard Coke came here the organized
foe of our people, and despite the civllitles
and earnest support given him, they are
tainted through his Waco organ with the
most insulting abuse. They are charged
with forming rings against Governor Coke,
of being base in their intentions, and de-
void of all those finer impulses, which, in
its opinion, must alone emanate from Waco.
If Governor Coke could forget for awhile
that he is not the representative of that very
limited section of the State, that he is Gov
ernor, for the friends of ''Throckmorton,
DeMorse or Hubbard y as well as for his
own, he would save himself very unenvi-
able position in the no very distant future.

eTHE NEGROES ARE AWNING,


The fact that Wards gang of negro ruff
fans took with them to Grant parish full
supply of muskets, with bayonets and am
munition, is not an isolated fact by any
means. There is something peculiarly omi-
nous about the news to similar effect which
comes from every quarter of the State. 1t
begins to appear that the aggression of the
negroes here-as manifested in the theatres,
saloons and public conveyances-form the
preliminary to an organized movement de-
signed to develop and eliminate during
the campaign just now opening. Scarcely
day passes but we hear of arms being
purchased here and of arms having made
their appearance in the country. Scarcely
an hour goes by without revealing to the
careful observer of events fresh evidences
that the impending struggle is likely to as
sumo an unusually bitter form, if, indeed,
it does not pass into violence and blood
shed.-NesO orleans Picayune.
The above intelligence is indeed start
ling. Not that we believe that the whites
will be overpowered, but because the con-
flict will be waged, we think, without quar-
ter and without mercy. The two races
have been acting so long in opposition that
they now look upon each other as impIaca-
BILE enemies. But it is the consequence of
the evil teachings of base carpet-baggers and
scalawags who have not cared how much
bloodshed and murder might follow. The
conflict will be terrible, nothing less than a
war of races, unless instant steps are taken
to disarm the negroes. The whites are
more prudent, and although they have been
driven to treat the negroes as enemies, still
they will not precipitate the fight. But it
is different with the negroes. They are so
much like children when they get guns in
their hands that it will be difficult to keep
them from firing upon some white person
and thus open the fight.
We do not base our conclusions simply
upon the above statement of the PicayuRe.
We have other information which treats the
impending conflict as only question of
time. 1t is difficult to conceive the real
condition of affairs in Louisiana. The ne
groes have grown insoIent in remarkable
degree. They feel their consequence, and
believe that they can soon overpower the
whites. They are bitter, viRdictive and
ignorant. But if war of races shall. fol-
low, Grant will be held responsible.
If McEnery had been allowed to take his
seat as the legally elected Governor, there
would not be anything like conflict to-
day. The two races, we have reason to be-
lieve, would have been on good terms. But
government and legislation have combined
to ruin the negroes. They have been
noticed so much in Congress, as well as
out, that they believe the government will
sustain them in any event.
The situation is very critical and we
shall watch the dezaOusHaent with great in

WY DELAY SO LONG,

The committees of the two houses of
Congress on Foreign Relations, to whom
have been referred, in one form or another,
the question of the recognition of the bel
ligerency or the independence of the Re
public of Cuba, have not yet reported what
action, in their judgment, Congress should
take on the subject at tins session. The
cause Of this delay has become a matter of
deep interest to the American people. Our
Republican nelghbors on this island have
been struggling bravely for years to secure
their independence. They have maintained
the strife valiantly, against fearful odds,
until they control tho larger part of the
island. They have kept up for years q
regular government. They arc now able to
keep at bay the well disciplined armies Of
Spain.
Tens Of thousands Of lives have been sacri-
feed on both sides. Scores of millions Of
treasure have been expended and even
larger values Of property have been des-
troyed. on an island at our very doors, in
terfering with the peaceful commerce Of our
people. The sacrifices suffered on this ac-
count by citizens Of the United States have
been immense; the cost of the police Of
these seas by our navy, on account Of this
war, has been very great. Are these annoy
ances to continue foreverl Have the peo-
pie of the United States no rights in the
premisesi May not our government, in the
name of humanity, and in defense OF the
rights of its own citizens, command the
peaco along our own shoresl The fact that
the sympathies Of the American people are
strongly in fayorof the independence of the
Cubans cannot diminish the duty Of the
Government at the proper time to put an
end to a frultless and bloody war, injurious
10 the interests Of every commercial people.

this inhuman and wicked warl- Washington

manufacturers are legalized robbcries Of
the masses. Nothing can be palmer.
Il Is admitted that there must be import
duties LEVIED and collected tor revenue to
carry on the machinery Of government in
an economical way; and to this extent it is
q tax collected out Of the people indirect
II, instead Of by direct taxation, which
would be considered oppressive. By max
ing each consumer pay it on the goods
which he purchases, the burden is made
more equal and just. Hence the very areat
necessity of having men in Congress to
look to the interests Of the people, in order
.hat no unjust Determinations shall be
made, favoring one class or section and
bearing heavily upon the other. To this
end goods which are of prime necessity
are not taxed as highly as those which are
classed as Injuries. If the Representative
does his duty, be insists that those goods
which the people generally use shall not pay
as high import duties as those consumed by
the rich, or the luxuries which are not
essential.
General Patterson is, therefore, wrong
when he says that if the duties on imports
shall be doubled that the government
could resume specie payments. It is not
reasonable to suppose that importers would
still bring in the same amount Of goods as
they now do. But his second proposition
is sound when he says that ''your exports
must exceed your imports" This is a sim
pie problem and we'll worthy of attention.
tits evident that if we import more than we
export, the balance of trade will be against
us. In order to avoid this, there must be
wise and liberal legislation. Such goods as
are of prime necessity, should be admitted
free of duty; and those which only pander
10 the taste of the epicure, should be taxed
heavily. By such policy, the producers
Of the country could raise a great deal
more for expectation, and to that extent
the balance of trade would be in our favor
and the producing classes receive the benefit
of their labor, and at the same time add to
the wealth and power of the country.

A WOMAN who was arrested in hes own
house at Middletown, Conn, the other day
for drunkenness, maintained that she had a
right to get drunk at home, and the court
sustained her Exchange.
That CONCLUSION was irresistible, it seems
even to Connecticut court. But what a
change has come over the people of New
England. They used to burn old women
as witches, or tie them up in bag and
throw them into a river. II they swan, it
was held as conclusive proof that she was a
witch; but if she sank, then perhaps-welI
it was-ahem, some how else. Once man
was not allowed to kiss his wife on Sunday,
IN that State. But now it is conceded that
woman can get drunk, provided she stays
within her own house, and can have q jolly
time all TO herself. s'The times change and
men change with them"

THE financial policy Of President Grant
has thrown the Republican or Radical
party into agonies. They gnash their teeth
and utter curses deep. It is believed that
it is the last blow in the death Of the party.

We are fej0iced 70 know that the STATES

In the case Of the Grant parish prisoners
recently tried in the United States District
Court in New Orleans, the jury brought IN
the following verdict:
Gnilty.-William B. Cruikshank, VII
liam Irwin and John P. Hadnot, guilty on
the first sixteen counts, and recommended
to the mercy Of the court; not guilty on
the last sixteen counts.
Not Guilty.-Austin E. Gibbons, Prad-
homme Lemoine, DOnas Lemoine, Thomas
Hickman and Clement Penn.
TIE Ricayuns says that, " according to
this verdict, the three prisoners are found
guilty under sixteen counts, of eOnspiring
and banding together to prevent the peace
able assemblAge of the negroes, to prevent
their voting, bearing arms aud generally
taking away all their nights. The last SIX
teen counts, in which the prisoners are
charged with numbering Alex. Tillman aud
Leo Allen whilst thus conspiring, they are
found not guilty on. The punishment fOr
the ofense of which they are found guilty
is fine and Imprisonment at hard labor; the
imprisonment not to exceed ten years, OF
the fine one thousand dollars
But the PieayRne condemns the verdict,
and prOnounces it as an outrage under the
evidence. From that paper we also gather
the following:
Arrest Of Judgment. Justice Bradley, OF
the Supreme Court, has promised to return
to the city and in consultation with Judge
Woods hear motion in arrest of judg-
ment, testing the jurisdiction of the United
States Court and the constitutionality Of the
Ku Klux act, so that this question can reach
the Supreme Court.
As to the other prisoners they win UNI
doubtedly be released to-day either on bail
under the new indictment against them OF
this Indictment will be quashed, il being
word for word and letter for letter the same
as that Of which they have been found not
guilty, with the single substitution of
William Williams for Alex. Tillman as the
victim
