Murders in Louisiana

A great deal has been said by Presi-
dent Grant in his message, and by Cen
eral Sheridan, about murders in Louisi-
ana. Here are some statistics Just cop
led from the official records Of the city
Of New Orleans, which would seem to
give the lie direct to what both Of these
officials have uttered by way Of excuse
for the outrage and usurpation OF which
both are guilty, according to their own
admissions. Soldiers are not lawyers;
yet soldiers are educated at West Point
to understand their duty to their coun
try. But these officers have both erred
IN not obeying the Constitution they
swore to support;
There were during the years 1873 anc
1874, confined in the Parish prison oi
New Orleans seventy. four murderers. Oi
these ffty-nine were negroes and confirm
ed Radicals. Several were policemen
and others, stipendaries OF the kellogs
Government. During the same period
Kellogg pardoned tlfty-four convicted
criminals, of these thirteen We're mur
dertrs, siI were convicted of manslaugh
ter, and seuen others of crimes the pen
atty for which is DEATH
In the face of such record as th'
above, what credence can be given t'
the stories of bloodshed and outrage or
the part of the Conservative No sen
sible man will for moment credit th'
falsehoods so systematically and per
sistently presented to the people Of tn,
North for political purposes only. Thos'
who, remember the magnificent lyinl
done by Congressman Hayes, now popu
larly known as Ananias Hayes, will have
no difficulty in understanding what kind
of game is being played by the Radicals

Court Of Quarter SessiOns.

Mr.. Riddle has sent US a copy Of his
bill to establish an inferior court to be
entitled "The Court of Quarter Sessions
of New Castle county" 1t is very long
and hence we have not the room to lay
it before our readers at present. While
there should be some way Of disposing
of the numerous petty cases that are
sent to New Castle. we do not feel free
to favor the mode provided in Mr.. Rid
dies bill. We fear it would put the
county 10 q heavy expense and be pro-
ductive Of evil. Were it enacted into a
law there would be six sessions Of court
in year at New Castle, instead Of two,
as at present. The Quarter Sessions p"
would meet in July, September, Janu-
airy and March. 1t dispense5 with the
services of grand jury and the trial is
before six sober and judicious men.
The States Attorney General is given
the power exercised by the grand jury
1t provides, however, that the Court
may, "on the application Of the accused
order that the case shall be tiled before
jury of twelve instead of six" These
are the main features OF the bill which
is made up of twelve sections. So fan
its adoption seems not to have secured
many advocates.

Grant Exposes sneridnn's Tricks.

From the Baltimore News.
The President 5 message is rather un-
fortunate for Sheridan. That officer was
not treated with the same confidence and
courtesy when the President was pre-
pairing TO answer the Senate as he was
when lie was preparing for New Orleans
Then hc was consulted, but now in his
absence the President answers an inqul-
~ without any regard to the position in
which he places the super -serviceable
general. Sheridan said, when he left
Washington, and repeated it again and
| again when he reached New Orleans, that
he was only on pleasure trip to Havana
with n company of ladies, and he said
this with orders in his pocket. The in
noccnt, simple and unsophisticlted pub
lie of course could not believe that
| Sheridan would tell a lie, and was will
ing to be convinced that the orders had
been snrreptitously hidden in his
clothes, and that he did not see them
| until they We're accidentally discovered
| while he soiourned at the capital of
Louisiana. But now, here comes Prrsi-
| dent Grant and blurts out in an official
paper that he requested" Gen. Sheri-
dan to go to Louisiana, and entrusted
| him with orders to exercise his discretion
and assume command there if he deem
ed it necessary. Somebody certainly has
| lied, and if Sheridan'a trip was an hon
orable, patriotic and legal one what ne
eessity is there for Il lie any where;

In pursuant of the order Of the full
committee of December -, special
committee of three visited New Orleans
and proceeded with an investigation. the
result OF which they report to the Gen
eral Committee, as follows -
THE INvEsTIdATIoE.
In pursuance of the order Of the Gen
eral Committee of December -, the un-
dersigned visited New Orleans, and there
proceeded with all diligence to the ex-
animation directed by the committee.
During the eight days they remained
there they were attended throughout
their sessions, which We're public. 10y
the counsel Of the republican and con
servative State committees. In that
period theyexamined over ninety y-iive wit
nesses, besides, taking a large amount Of
documentary evidence, amounting iii all,
it is estimated, to more than | 800 print
ed pages. In view OF the exigency that
now exists iii the affairs of that State,
and OF the delay Of weeks which must
elapse before that testimony can be
written out and printed, your commit
tee has determined to state the conclu-
sions at which they have arrived, so far
as they are unanimous in reaching these
conclusions.
ARBITRARY REJECTION OF HEAVY CON-
sERvATIvE MAJoRITIEs.
So, in Winn parish, where 405 conserv-
ative and l64 republican votes were cast,
upon verbal protest that the Registrar
OF ElectIoas was not properly qualified,
OF which the only proof was that he had
failed to forward his oath of Office to the
Secretary Of State Although there was
no pretenee hat the election was not a
fair representation Of the will Of the
people the whole vote Of the parish was
rejected and the case referred to the
Legislature.
| 40 INTIMIDATION OF CoLoRED VOTERS.
No general Illumination of Rcpub-
| llcan voters was established. No
| colored man was produced who had
1 been threatened or assaulted 10y any
| Conservative because of political opin
ion, or discharged from employment
| or refused employment. OF ali those
who testified to intimidation there
was hardly any one who of his own
knowledge could specify a reliable in
| stance of such acts and.of the white
men who were produced to testify
generally on such subjects very nearly
| all II not every single one was the
holder OF an Office. Throughout the
rural districts Of the State the number
OF white Republicans are very few; it
hardly extends beyond those holding
] Office and those connected with them.
No witnesses, We believe, succeeded
IN naming in amy parish five Rcpubli-
cans who supported the Kellogg Gov
ernment who were not themselves
| oihcchOldcrs or related 10 ofiiceholdcrs
or those having official employment.
CONSERVATIVE BLACKS IN DANGER.
On the other hand, it was in evidence
that the blacks who sought to act with
the conservative party were, on their
part, somtimes exposed to enmitv and
abuse. In the interior one colored
man was shot for making conserva-
tive speech, and in New Orleans il ap.
peared from the testimony that color
ed men who sought TO Cooperate with
| the conservatives were subject to SO
much abuse from the police and other
wise that an association of LAWYERS
volunteered To protect them, but with
| effect.
