R.-Whst are the relations between the
whites and the negroes? tIt
Mr.. S.-They are pleasant this far, that
each shall keep his place. But these radical
carpet-baggers sit up all night with the ne
groes, and instil into their minds hatred of
the men who have been, and still would be,
their greatest protectors. There is no hard
feeling whatever between the two races, ex-
Il cept as it has been fermented by the Internal
workings of these scalawags and carpet

stress Of poverty or other causes, has been
induced to join the ranks of these radical
carpet-baggers. IL is asking too much of the
Caucasians at the South to associate with the
negroes, who are in every respect their
interiors. Would you like to see your sister
married to negro? And yet one-half of

SHOOT WHITE MEN.
The negroes that have been shot, the .ac-
counts of which have been published with
such graphic details in the Northern radical

a vile, ignorant villain, but yet placed in au-
thority over men who are in every good re-

radicals in the State cohabit with negresses,
and they return thecompliment by allowing
the negroes to ravish white women. They
are an utterly contemplate set. And yet
the destinies of the State are cast entirely in
the hands of these men, supported by the
federal power. j tell you that Grant has
made a great mistake, and he knows Il. But
he is too proud to admit it, and refuses to
correct himself.
R.-what will be the outcome of all this
trouble? rIr 81
Mr.. ST. do not know. The most dismal
part of the situation is that Louisiana has
no future, and when State or an individual
reaches that deplorable stage, decomposition
must set in. There is the poor man wander
ing about the streets, where once he was
respected and wealthy, and he win die
drunkard's death; so the Caucasians of
Louisiana are forced to live on reminiscent
ces ofpast greatness, forced TO content them
selves with reeollections of happy days that
have gone forever, are utterly hopeless, cast
down, disheartened. They see no way out
OF their trouble.
R.-Wbat do they want?
Mr.. S.-Give them a military government

made in a backward direction in reference.

R.-Are the "White Leagues very strong2
Mr.. S.-The White Leagues comprise the
men who signed the platform adopted at the
state convention, held on August "a, in
Baton Rouge. The platform was published
at the time in The Times. was asked to
open its proceedings with prayer, and did
so. The members of the White League are
the men who have subscribed to that decla-
ration of principles more.
R.-But did not the White league exist
before the holding of that convention?-
Mr.S.-Yes, but they were simply associa-
tons of democrats, meeting just as demo-
Gratis would meet in this city. All the out
