TIRE NEWSPAPER AND THE ADvgRTIsRa,-
Say what you will, its human nature to favor
those who favor you, and do il honestly. A
nberal advertiser, in a reputable business, is
always good fellow, as mean men never ad-
vertise. When you hear a man express con-
tempt for the newspapers, set him down as a
1901. Ii you want to test him, and prove tn at
he lies, puff him, and zee how pleased he will
be, and how cordial he will he, and how he will
pat you on the back. There is nothing that yop
could do but what would be forgiven and for
gotten sooner than little uncomplimentary
sguib IN newspaper. You may go on all your
life saying good things every day about some
person without one word of credit; but the first
lite OF reprimand, and all yoa have done is for.
gotten at once, and you have bitter and re-
lentess enemy from that time. Every person
who wants to purchase any kind Of merchan-
disc will read an advertisement or that mer-
chandise whenever il appears before him.
While we believe that every person engaged in
q respectable business should advertise, we
also believe 1t to be the duty Of the publisher,
every thing else being equal, to do what he can
whenever the opportunity offers, to favor those
who favor him. For ourselves, we always stay
by our friends, and never yet, heathenish as it
may seem. forget an enemy.

The Violent Course of the GO1Ored
aEeIabers Of the Legislature.

At the extra session Of the Legisla-
ture the negro leaders did everything in
their power to intensity the prejudice of
race If an irrepressible conflict between
theraces does notensue, it will be because
reason has triumphed over the folly and
wickedness which they have set up for
the guidance of the colored population.
The Warren county affair presented a
sharply defined issue. 1t was whether
office-holders should be licensed to defy
the law by refusing to give bond for the
faithful performance of the duties they
had undertaken-plunder the tax pay
ers by forgery and embezzlement-and
then to organize armed forces for the
murder and piilage by open violence
of the community for demonstrating
against their misdeeds. The speeches
of the colored members were extremely
violent That of the Speaker (Shadd, }
which We happened to hear, was sig
nal specimen of diabolism. Without init
mating the least disapproval of the con-
duet of the indicted officials or recogni-
zing the grievances of the taxpayers. he
charged the latter with having committed
murder without provoeation. and in cold
blood-with ravaging the homes of the
negroes for piunder-r&vishing their
females-and similar crimes against
which human nature revolts. Assuming
to be a representative Of Warren county,
he claimed the privilege to deliver this
ferocious TRADE, by the concurrence OF
his class, we infer, as none protested.
Suiting their action to the word, they obey
ed with aiacrity every edict which was is.
sued from the Executive office. And
more than this, they evinced savage JOY
in repelling every overture Of The tax
pages for relief
To what pitch of intensity the indigna-
ton of our wronged people will go, we are
not prepared to say. For the consequent
ces which will flow from these wanton in
suits and aggressions-an for the retrib-
utive justice which will, by an irreversible
law of Providence, sooner or later over
take their authors, they alone will be re-
responsible.

The special election to fill the vacancy
in the Legislature from Carroll will take
place on the fifth of January. Judge H.
H. Southworth, one Of the best and most
capable citizens in the county, is candi-
date. Every taxpayer and opposer of
misrule owes him his warm support.
Local considerations should be put aside
until the people are rescued from the
evils of confscation and anarchy. In
becoming a candidate Judge Southworth
has set good example. The State has
a right TO the services of her best sons.
Now, let the voters, every man of them,
do their duty.

FOrecastLnE she storm.

We noticed in the debates in the Leg
islature on the affair of the Warren
county Taxpayers and the plundering
officials, that intense Indignation was
expressed by certain Radicals that the sit
liens of Vicksburg had repelled with arms
the attempt Of the ignorant and vicious
mob to sack their city. They assumed
that the mob was innocent of hostile in
tent If so, what meant the collection OF
hundreds of armed men simultaneously
at break of day, and their refusal TO dis
perse and return to their homes when
earnestly urged by the citizens whose
homes were threatened?
These indignant accusers of the War
rem county taxpayers had as well spare
their wrath for more fitting occasion.
We will repeat what we have before said
that the blood she'd at Vicksburg is but
foretaste of what is coming in this
State if the plunderers do not take their
hands from the pockets Of the people and
discontinue their system Of legalised rob
berry. The Nicksburg resistance which
has so Mortified the class engaged in this
nefarious business, is only the first drop
of the coming storm. 1t rests with the
dominant party by Il timely correction Of
of abuses, to postpone indefinitely the
evil day. Nine-tenths of their newspa-
pers and public men have admitted the
complaints of the taxpayers to be just.
Now let them unite with the taxpayers
in removing the cause.

Cur Special Ci.y Election

The conduct Of the colored voters of
jackson in the election TO fill TIE vacancy
in the office of Alderman for the North
Ward, deserves special notice and COM
mendation. Refusing to be controlled
either by race or partisan considerations,
they brought out no candidate of their
own, but made choice between old and
worthy white citizens one of whom Mr..
Herbert Spengler.) was elected. We
viii here state that if the same enlight-
ened and liberal policy prevailed among
the colored voters drought the State as
has generally prevailed here. and they
were met by a corresponding spirit of
Hberality and good feeling on the part of
the whites, much better condition of af-
fairs would exist The foregoing acts of
the former in our special election, without
the slightest Encouragement, or fixing
up," is one Of several cases in point,
which might be cited as occurring here.

A joint resolution passed the Legisla-

Preparations to the public institutions, ex-
cept the Lunatic Asylum, in order to
prevent their being drawn on the 1st of
January, with the commendable motive
to reduce the amounts at the regular ses-
sion. This is good as far as it goes But
the Legislature must not content itself
with reducing the allowances of the edu-
cational and benevolent Institutions 1t
must begin with itself: dismiss its super
numerary employees, its numerous pages,
porters, clerks and other hangers-on !;
reduce the wages of those whose services
are absolutely needed, and economic its
stationary bills. The amount now paid
for these purposes nearly equals the en-
tire cost of the Legislature before the
present regime.

Louisiana Thc CrONvnfnE EnGlnny

The machinery known as the Return
ing Board. devised by the Radicals to
secure to them the State Government of
Louisiana, has served its purpose. BY
throwing out the votes of some Parishes
together-cutting off many from this
and adding some to that-they have
reached the conclusion Of their labors, and
the product is a majority of two in the
Legislature; the election Of the. Radical
Candidate for State Treasurer by 95S ma
jority; and of three out of six Congress
men, when in in fact they elected but two.
Gov. McEnery, to quiet ali apprehen-
sions of physical resistance to the consul
nation of the fraud usurpation, at She
risk of a collision with the U. S. gov
eminent, has issued the following address
to the nation:
New ORLEANS, December %, 1874.
The wrong just perpetrated by the Re
turning Board against the people Of
Louisiana, and which vitality threatens
the saftey and integrity of republican nsti-
tutlCns in the United States, is a more
browning infamy than the action of the
Lynch Returning Board. 1t surpasses
even the midnight order of Durell, and
would not be submitted TO by any free
people. Resistance to national authority
represented here by large portion of the
army and the naval fleet sustaining the
usurpation, and sitting the voice of the
people, has never been meditated
Signed. Jno. MCENERY.
This is the wisest course. If the OPP
pressed people were to resist the Ma
tional Administration which is pledged
to uphold the Kellogg usurpation they
will play into the hands of the usurpers,
ensure defeat for themselves ultimately,
and imperil the success Of the political
revolution in the Northern States with its
promises of relief A Louisiana editor
recommends the Brutus method of dealing
with the usurpers. Unquestionably man
who persists in forcing himself into an
Office to which he was not elected, for the
purpose of plundering and otherwise
wronging the people, and in defence of
their right of self government deserves
to be 'hewn as a carcass fit for hounds" but
this is last, desperate recource not to be
thought of except as a radiance for evils
otherwise remediless and never-ending.

he has the reputation with the bar and
the people of being an able and upright

greatly to exculpate the taxpayers.
