The only pity is, whilst the killing is going
on, that, since it is sure to be ruthlesSly pun
ished, it is not mere thorough and discrimi-
mating. The South might as well be sacrificed
for sheep as for lamb, because in any
event, rnin is the price demanded Of it by
cold-blooded calculating partyism, the end OF
which must be civil war, revolution, and ultl-
mately, Dictatorship.
The whole power Of the Federal Govern
rlent will be directed against Louisiana. No
questions will be asked The next House of
Representatives will be more proscriphvely

the military. partisan pretext for third term,
which is, within itself, the overthrow OF re-
publican government and the idiots in the

1t is bad advice to say to infuriated Louisi-
ana, cain we'll and shoot low; you can not
make it any worse than it is; and, as You are
resol ed to sacrifice yourselves, you might as
well be gratifed whilst you are at it" but it
is natural advice. The letter of the law is
against them. They are in rebellion against
q constituted authority, which the Federal
Government is bound to support. Kellogg,
infamous as he is, and vile as his gang may be,
has only to call for troops and get them. He
will do SO, and the end of it all will be renew

The disarming of private citizens by the
metropolitan police, armed with the authority
of Kellogg, appears to have been the exciting
cause of the outbreak in New Orleans. 1t
was enough to arouse more sluggish people.
The best men Of the Republican arty have
denounced the Kellogg government as
us,lrpation. No decent Republican Statesman.
or newspaper has defended it. Though it is
recognized at Washington, and on this ac-
count the popular revolt is legally insurrec-
tionary, every true-hearted American citizen
must feel that, if similarly provoked, he would
similarly resist. There is no answering Sen

ragged liberty and justice, the inevitable logic

Actual war has broken out in New Orleans
For months the readers of the Times have
been informed of the organization OF " White
Leagues there whose purpose it was to put
and fn fba r,11a Of fhe n and IarIft-
baggers who have for so long plundered the
people The objective point of these leagues
was to get possession of the State government.
The existing government is regarded by then,
and is in fact. usurpation. The Governor. ae
tacto was repudiated at the polls by a large
majority of the legal voters Of the State, bat
by series of frauds that have no parallel n
the history OF any State in the Union. he Sue
ceeded in obtaining possession OF the execu-
tive office. and has held it in defiance OF pub
lie sentiment ever since, supported in his
by Federal bayones. His career
has been one Of the most unblushing corrnp
ton. The p,orerty-owners have been
despoiled Of their possessions the election
laws have been SET at defiance, and means
taken to prevent by fraud and force any fair
expression of the voice of the people all
but his supporters have been driven to des
peration by the gigantic iniquities he has
practiced and permitted.
The result can be easily foreseen The mill
larry must take possession not only Of the city
but of the State Government, and Congress
must assume the responsibility Of recognizing
the State This is what many of the "White
Leaguers want, and if the present outbreak
results in the deposition Of Kellogg and the
IS adjustment of temporary military govern !
ment, they will regard the compensation as
worth the cost Chicago Times.
