to improvement, from whatit was even

some parts of the State the people are
forming leagues to resist the payment

some trouble may yet grow out OF

doubt but this contempt is every day
becoming more permanent. Every re-
liable newspaper that we read has the
record of some diabolical act perpe-
trated upon the innocent and almost
defenseless colored people. Many of
them are becoming alarmed at the
gloomy prospect of the times; and,
while there is som. cause for fear,
others become needlessly excited by
listenieg to false rumors, and frequent.

And now comes Hendricks. of
Indiana, like a.reverent pupil. mark
ing time close in the rear of ancient
Rise Up" of Ohio, with his little
protest in his hand This protest, he
says, was hastily prepared, after the
completion of his message, to which it
was appended; and really, the misrep
reservations in it are so very crude
that you may believe him. Says he:
1T is fundamental right, and nee
legislative body shall be the judge of
the qualifications, election, and return
of its own members.
Without any pretext of domestic vio-
lence, that right has been taken away
from the popular branch of the Legis-
lature of Louisiana. and members
recognized by that body have been
driven from the hall by armed sol
diers under the command ola United
States military officer, and others, not
recognized by the. body as members,
have been seated as SUCH,
Now that. to any one at all ac-
quainted with the facts in the case, is
nonsense, or worse. No member had
been recognized by that body, for tie
reason that there had been no organi-
cation. The facts were quite the 9TH
er way. While bogus organization
was in progress, certain unwarranted
interlopers were removed from the
floor by idcntically the same agency
they had invoked a few moments pre-
viously to eject lawful members. If
Governor Hendricks desires to have
his protests admitted to the dignity
of discussion among people posted up
on current events, he will take lit
tie more time in their preparation,
and hug the shore line of truth some
what closer Inter Ocean.

elected from the floor. This military
posse performed its duty under d.
Hrections from the Governor of the
State, aud removed from the floor Of
the House those persons who had
been illegally seated, and who had no
lega! right to be there; whereupon the
Democrats rose and left the House,
and the remaining members proceeded
to effect an organization under the
State laws
In all this turmoil, in which blood
shed was imminent, the military posse
behaved with great discretion When
Wilt, the usurping Speaker of the
House. called for troops to prevent
bloodshed, they were given him.
When the Governor of the State
called for posse for the same pur-
pose, and to enforce the law, it was
furnished also. Had this not been
done, it is my firm belief that scenes
of bloodshed would have ensued.

MACON, Miss, Dee. 26, 1874.
One swift winged month has fed

Discord and dissention seems to
keep pace with every progressive
movement. Sometimes they are in
the ascendency, and at other times "a
calm seems to come over the spirit of
the people" But this is generally re-
garded as "a lull before the tempest"
Nothing of a very serious nature has
yet occurred In this Immediate vIcini-
ty, but in other parts of the State riot
and bloodshed has become feartully
appalling. The State Legislature
called a meeting Gifts members which,
after converting, referred their con-
dition to the President, requesting
protection. He readily responded to
their request, and ordered the insur-

The temperance Question.

The liquor traffic, which occasions
nine tenths of our criminal expenses,
and are enormous in every State, i'm
poses heavier burdens in the way of
taxes than any other one thing, and
therefore being question which
touches every mans pocket, it is one
that should command the earnest eff
forts of all to suppress
We are met with the contemplate
sheer, that Notwithstanding the laws
to regulate and suppress the liquor
traffic, liquor is sold just the same
anyhow, and therefore there is no use
of these laws. Is not murder COM
mitted, too, and apparently on the in
crease? And on that account shall
we abolish the laws against that crime?
Are not horses stolen? And shall we
on that account abolish the law against
theft? Rather would not these crimes
increase, were we to abolish criminal
law? So it is shown by the statistics
that where the laws against the liquor
traffic are abolished, that crime, and
the crime it occasions increases.
No man who understands his duty
to his family and to his State will hes
itatc to hedge this most Infamous
traffic with all the law possible. 1t
would be an insult TO the intelligence
of the people to take from them the
right in every township and county to
determine for themselves whether
they need licensed crime in the shape
of liquor saloons, where their sons
may be prostituted and ruined. This
right the present law gives them, and
with all the earnes tness they possess
they shouid demand a retention of IT
The right to determine this question
for themselves in each county and
township, is a principle Of free govern
ment upon which our whole system
rests. If any one county or township
wants this infamous crime fastened
on it, su.h ought not to have the pow
er to Cypress those which do not de-
sire it, with all its crime, expenses
and oppression. We are glad to see
the noble stand taken by the Oranges
on this question. Let your voices be
heard on this observation-disclosures

The Unhung Traitors of the South.

The Vincennes Times hits the nail
| right square on the head, and speaks
our sentiments, regarding the proper
disposition of the traitorous Sound
rels of the South:
What Louisiana, Mississippi and
Arkansas most need just now is little
judicious hanging; or rather, We should
say, a good deal of hanging. These
States should be given into the hands
of the military and the leaders in the
White League promptly arres ted, tried
by drum head court and hung. The
government should take prompt action
to stop murder and assassination in
those States. Life is no more secure
in the States named than in the hands
of the COmanche Indians. The most
rigid military measures toward the
White League and all other similar
societies should he carried out. They
have detied the government and con-
tinued to murder innocent citizens
day and night, and the time has now
arrived when the interference of the
government is demanded and those
rascals brought to punishment. The
present is most appOrtune moment
for the government to. step in and
begin where it left off at the close of
the war. These same scoundrels
should have been hung then. They
doubly deserve hanging now.
We fully agree with our Democratic
contemporaries that the course pur-
sued toward the Southern States by
the government, has had a great deal
to do with the trouble in the South,
though we will not admit that the
government is at fault or in any way
responsible for the lawlessness and
bloodshed in those States. The gov
eminent should have pursued an en-
tirely different policy toward rebels at
the close of the war. The leaders
should have been hung and all others
who were in any way connected with
the rebellion and in the employ of the
SO called Confederate States, should |
have been disfranchised for life.
Treason should be made odious, and
the failure of the government to meet
out proper punishment to rebels at |
the close of the war is what has
caused all the trouble since and now |
Those rebellious scoundrels down |
there should have the heel of the gov
eminent firmly set on their necks and !
held there until they know how to |
behave themselves, and until life and |
liberty to the humblest citizen is as
safe in those States as in Indiana.

A resume of the testimony taken by
the VicksburR investigation shows
that the killing of the negroes was ar
unprovoked massacre. When met by
the whites they retreated before shot
was fired Not half of them were
armed, and they were accompanied by
women and children. Some were
killed while lying on the ground.
From sixty to seventy five were killed.
Altogether the Vicksburg massacre
seems to have been the most cowardly
and the most brutal of the long cata-
logue of wholesale assassinations
which have made of the South a
bloody ground It is time for the
President to declare with emphasis
that single repetition of this class of
outrages will bring down the hand of
the Federal power heavily upon the
offenders, be they who they may.
