THE NEW ORLEANS BULLETIE TUESDAY SEPTEMBER a. 1875

whose people honor the heroes who died that
their country might be free
As battle, the affair of the 14th September
may not figure largely in the chronicles Of
var; but when we consider the motive of the
men engaged on the side of the citizens, the
spirit of their unprecedented action, theil
yallantry in attack and their moderation in
victory, the engagement will compare credit
ably with affairs which must fill larger space
lin history.
When considered with reference to its
effects, the disproportion of action to results
lis very great. The little conflict of scarcely
sen minutes duration sent thrill throughout
the Republic and called notice to Radica
abuses as nothing else could have done. Its|
direct results showed as nothing else could
have shown, how fimsy was the pretense of
authority on which Southern Radical wage
bonds base their usurped powers.

Those Republicans who have voted will
the negro are charged with having counselet
their alleged violence, and are driven from thu
country, or shot down in the swamps.
1t is an open fight between the Democracy
who have pledged themselves to overthrow
the right Of negro suffrage, on one side, and
the negro, who believes that not only his
rights but his life are at stake.
This is the state of the camgaign from the
Savannah to the Rio Grande.

xaged through hatred and aggression on one
part and terrified desperation on the other.
What is to become of the investments OF capt.

This is the manner in which the Republican,

said to be the most powerful attraction thai

buy some land out there, and make him com y

During the excitement of travelling Mr.. Davis

him. He paid the penalty of greatness when
suffering himself to be stared at and the PEG
pie passed round the hat. After returning tC J.
mis- Memphis home the lion felt nausea from
what he had seen and breathed in, and We
we're not surprised when he wrote to the trus j
lees of the Texas dollar mite society, sayingss
that he was much obliged for good intentions,
and all that; but if it was all the same he T.
would not accept homestead in Texas as o
gift.
In the face of these and other statements OF

whites, the Republican with refreshing cool

white people than any other journal in the
State"

From the New Orleans Times
The negro element in Canton, Miss, on Wednesday,
carried away by brutal passion superinduced by the
killing Of one of their number in Wednes-
day and last accounts had threatened page the
town.
The white citizens had taken the ALARM and although
the odds overwhelming, they expressed deter
mnaton TO resist to the death. They exercising
most commendable forbearance, and awaiting the
negroes To commence the attack
The origin of the present condition Of affairs, OBJ
tanned from private communication, which isSrelably
vouched for as authentic, is as follows
West Thomas, negro and recognized leader Of po-
Htica gang, Saturday evening, while IN intox-
Gated condition, entered the store of Mr. Reid and by
his bolsterous and insulting behavior threatened
with election Mr.. Flake Jones happened to be present
and the negro thought him proper subject for personal
violence. Mr. Jones objected and few hard words
were mutually INDUCED in, which had the effect OF
causing the negro TO leave Shortly after he returned
and renewed his attack Mr.. Jones until that gentle
man seized an axe handle and met the negro's on
saugh with two blows administered in quick succession
which caused death in few hours Jones then sought
safety in flight
The news was quickly disseminated, and the negro
clubs armed and mounted secured the country in every
direction entering houses without warrant search

otherwise his late would have been short shrift and
long rope.

large number Of negroes marching the town,
and preparations made by the whites receive
them. All business suspended and squads OF
negroes congregated at the corners exctedy discuss
ing the affair and utterng threats against the
whites. The state Of things in general had assumed
such attitude that the citizens considered themselves
warranted in patrong the streets placing out pckes
&c, to give timely warning of the danger, which they
had such good cause TO apprehend Tuesday night the
negroes and their cohorts held indignation meeting
and demanded apology from the citizens for parad-
