&C., followed, counseling order, and asked the
crowd to retire.
During the progress of the concluding
events, Mr.. Lowell, one of the Radical can
didates for speaker, pronounced his protest
against the employment Of United States
troops, and said he had been elected by civil
authority and did not wish to be seated by
military authority.
Immediately after the demonstration of the
military, Governor McEnery addressed the
following protest to President Grant:
New ORLEANS, January 5.-To his Elk.
cellency u. S. Grant, President of the United
States: In the name Of liberty and all lovers
of liberty throughout the United States, do
most solemnly protest against the acts OF the
military forces Of the United States on yester-
day, in the occupation of the Statehouse; in
the forcible election by troops Of members
of the Legislature, and the elected Speaker
of the House, and the subsequent organiza-
ton of the House by direct and forcible
intervention of the military. | affirm, before
the whole American people, that the action on
the part Of the military in this city yesterday
issubversive of the republican institutions of
this free country JOHN MCENERY.
On the same day Gen. Sheridan addressed
the following dispatch to the Secretary of
War:
I think the terrorism now existing in Louis
iana Mississippi and Arkansas could be en-
tirely removed and confidence and fair deal
ing established by the arrest and trial of the
ring-leaders of the armed White Leaguers. If
Congress would pass bill declaring them
banditti they could be tried by military COM
mission. This banditti, who murdered men
here on the 18th of last September, also more
recently at Vicksburg, Mississippi, should, in
Justice to law and order and peace and pros
perity of this southern part of the country, be
punished. 1t is possible that if the President
would issue a proclamation declaring them
bandtt that no further action need be taken,
except that which would devolve upon me.
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Lieut. General United States Army.
The action of the military in dispensing the
Legislature of sovereign State, coupled with
the above proposition by a Lieutenaut-Gener
al of the United States Army has raised
storm of indignation throughout the Union,
and the conduct is denounced alike in all
sections and by all parties, Notwithstanding
the fact that the acts ofSheridan have the Of
fetal sanction of the President and the Secre-
tary of War. tits understood that at meet
ing of the Cabinet on the day following the
scenes enacted in New Orleans, it was agreed
that all vestige of opposition to the Kellogg
government must be utterly and forever
crushed out. This is simply construed to
mean that as last resort to retain political
supremacy, the Republican party will reinau-
gurate and pursue the same policy toward
the Southern States that characterized the
presidential campaign Of 1868. In support of
this view the Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun says
The keynote is still to be the cry of ku-
klux, Of White Leagues, and of murders and
outTages. Notwithstanding that the people
in the last elections spewed these stories out of
their mouths, the attempt will be made to re-
vive them with ten fold vigor. Mr.. Morton
talked of nothing but blood to-day. Mr..
Conkling cried blood and murder, and Mr..
Edmunds shrieked ku.klux, assassin and
White Leagues. Mr.. Logan conjured up
new rebellion more powerful than that of
1861. Ifall the murders had been committed
in Louisiana, as Senator Morton declares,
there would scarcely be vestige of the re.
publican party left in the State, and yet he
claims with the same breath that it is in a
majority Of thirty thousand. Incredible as it
Ha M
now the deliberate purpose of the radical
Senators to engage all their powers, physical
and mental, in the effort to revive all the old
anmosities of the past, to incite anew the fast
diving out bitterness of the North toward the
South, in the forlorn hope of fastening their
yoke on the necks of the people for another
presidential term. To accomplish this these
are the men who will stop at nothing. Drunk
with sixteen years of unrestrained and undi-
vided power, they are maddened at the pros
pect before them. A PROSTATE and bound
Louisiana can excite no sympathy in their
breasts. Sooner than give up the control of
the government they would applaud the Pres.
ident should he lay his hand on the throat of
every other State Of the South as he has on
the throat of Louisiana
In the debate which is now to take place
the radical Senators will be found repeating
with more vehemence than ever the widest
and most diabolical ISLANDERS on the Southern
people. If they can once fix in the minds OF
the people of the North that the South, as
section, does not accept the recent constitu-
tional amendments, and that the success of
the democratic party means the overthrow Of
those amendments, then they will be content.
1t was almost universally thought after the
elections that the third term business was dead.
From what has transpired in the last week or
two the country may be assured that it is not
dead, and that the President dreams of it as
fondly as ever. Just before the recess the
President was in conversation with member
of Congress. The third term subject was al.
luded to by the member. The President sig
ni6cantly remarked, "No one knows what the
White Leaguers will do in the next two years"
From the circumstances, and from the man.
ner of the President, the only inference to be
drawn was that the country would be in great
danger from the White Leaguers, and that he
was the only one that could save it. This
goblin cry of White Leaguers was echoed on
the floor of the Senate to-day, on the radical
side. The White Leaguers, they say, are or
ganized throughout the entire South, they are
armed to the teeth and number hundreds of
thousands they intend to renew the war for
the destruction of the Union, and the man
who broke the back of the shareholders re-
belionis the only man who can stem the new
rebellion. This is the new third term pro-
gramme.
