THE BACKDOwN OF THAT COMMITTEE,

THE BACKDOWN OF THAT COMMITTEE.
The committee appointed by the chair
man of the Lafayette square mass meet
ing have virtually abandoned their posts.
They did not face the music in the heroic
manner which we had right to expect
from SO much fuss and loud talk. In
stead Of coming forward with anything
like proof to sustain the rather general and
hazy charges contained in their letter to
the State Board, the chairman was in
structed to address note to the president
with the information that they did not in
tend to come at all; that all the facts to
sustain their charges were already within
reach of the board, and it was expected it
would do its duty. Most of the members
of the School Board, not being aware that
the whole mass meeting was a bluff,
filed serious answers, and appeared be-
fore the State Board to be ready to give
further evidence, if necessary. But i.
was bluff from its noisy beginning to its
inglorious close. Had any considerable
number of the members retired from their
positions, on the ground that it was not
worth while to defend their right to a
thankless Office that brings onerous duties
and great tax on the time and pecuniary
resources of the directors, without yield
ing any returns, then those who brewed
the little tempest in the teapot would
have boosted among their fellows-"We
did it" But the directors could not, and
can not be frightened of, and the COM
mittee seems to have had too much good
sense to make direct issue. Fearing de-
feat, they retired from the contest, and
left "the people" without counsel in the
very matter which has been proclaimed
any day for the past six weeks as of para
mount Importance.
We hope this failure will serve as a
warning to all Intermediates in future.
They should adopt the motto of the SIM
pie minded and honest David Crockett,
'Be sure you are right, and then go
ahead" If, however, the agitators of the
school question in this city have been in
pursuit Of the right, they have been az
unsuccessful in satisfying the public of
the fact as they have in convicting the
members of the School Board. 1t looks
more like the work of demsgogues and
gossips than the efforts of sensible men to
reform existing abuses. Perhaps the end
which was sought has been accomplished.
However that may be, the members of the
board have had an opportunity to place
their vindication before the people, while
their accusers retire from controversy
they themselves provoked

MIssIssIPPI's SHAME.

Mississippi, with her thirty Thousand
Republican majority, has gone Demo-
cratic. The White League of Louisiana
congratulates the White Line of Missis.
sippi, and shakes the bloody hands which
have achieved such victory. Demo-
cracy is in line with itself, on q Confed-
crate platform, and We are told that JEFF
Davis will represent Mississippi in the
United States Senate. To indorse seces-
sion, to elevate Confederate leaders, to es-
tablish the fact that fair election can
not be held in Mississippi, and that shot
guns are superior to votes, the Democrats
have taken hundreds of human lives.
Killing Republicans there has been COM
mon from the opening Of the campaign up
to and including the day of election, and
terrorism and intimidation have existed
throughout the State. The Vicksburg
Herald congratulates itself on its work by
saying that the negroes had grown tired
of the constantly occurring breach of the
peace, and the unsafety of life and prop
erty under Radical rule, and they
had determined to cooperate largely with
the Democratic white people. Such rea-
soning is full Of shame. The negroes had
grown tired Of being constantly shot at,
and sacrificed their right to express theii
opinions at the polls The Herald says
"A majority Of the negroes declared they
would not vote at all" These were the
two chances left them-to stay away from
the polls or vote the Democratic ticket
The dispatches from different parts O
the State, published in the yicksburt
Herald on the morning Of The third IN
stant are q curious commsntAsy ON hov
the thing was done. From them We Learn
that ort5- 4yess 'e''s ~
At Bolton the negroes marched to h
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-11-06

polls in solid masses and voted for Dem
ocracy. Election quiet.
At Lake all was quiet; several negroes
voted the Democratic ticket, and great
many did not vote at ALL
At Holly Springs every colored man ap-
pears to have shown his vote, and the re-
porter was able to say that two hundred
and fifty negroes voted the Democratic
ticket. He says that Marshall county will
go Democratic by three hundred, mot
withstanding the registered majority of
colored was seven hundred" The word
notwithstanding" admits that the county
ought not to go as it did. And we are
further told that "the aged, sick, manned
and blind, all turned out to vote for the
Democracy" and that the Democratic
colored men were jubilent
At Boswell the Republican candidate
for sheriff was hung in efigy, and more
than half the blacks voted with the
whites.
At Corinth Conservative editor "was
slightly wounded in difficulty"
In all places where the negroes were
marched up in body and voted by DEM
ocrats all was quiet. In favor of peace,
this is an argument that colored men
should have so voted in all places.
Where they marched up to the polls
and attempted to vote the Republican
ticket, there was trouble. The Port Glib
son dispatch says: "a large column of
negroes from the country marched up to
the polls in military order, about eleven
o'clock, when the negroes, who were in
terspersed with the whites, became in
sulting and threatening" Then gen.
eral firing commenced. One negro was
killed and one white man wounded, and
the negroes were stampeded. The Port
Gibson man says ''the disturbance did not
last five minutes" Everything became
quiet, and "many negroes are voting the
Democratic ticket"
AT Columbus it was reported that the
negroes had attempted to burn the town.
The Columbus man says: -Four of them
were certainly killed. Ten are reported
dead. No Radical ticket was polled here
to-day. Glorious Democratic victory for
Lowndes. No whites hurt"
And SO the shotgun record is continued.
Columbus is a specimen of what is con-
sidered glorious Democratic victory in
Mississippi. Ten negroes killed in one
little town, and no whites hurt 1t is to
celebrate such victory that the White
Leagues of Louisiana borrow artillery
from "Kellogg, the usurper," and fire one
hundred and one guns in New Orleans.
The Democracy of Louisiana wanted to be
placed in line with the national Dem
ocracy, and it is so placed. 1t is the party
which kills, and it is the party which
formed Confederacy to break up the
Union.
If the Democrats find crumb of COM
tort in the bloody record of Mississippi,
they are welcome to it. If they find con-
ISOLATION in electing Bigelow, Republican,
in New York, they are welcome to that
also.
A time will come in Mis- sissippi when
shotguns will not triumph. 1t is for the
interest and prosperity of that State that
they should not. Mississippi to-day rep
resents the remnant of the Southern Con-
federacy, and Davis and Lamar are its
chieftains. The national Democratic pa, ty
is asked to rejoice at the Mississippi VIC
tory and glorify its shame. Having nothing
else at present to rejoice at it will IN
dOubtedly do SO.

OPPOSITION TO THE RECOGNITION OF
BELLIGERENT CUBA.

The Cincinnati Commercial speaks the
sentiment of those who fear the liberation
of the Cuban slave will enhance the price
Of cigars and sugar. 1t says that the re-
ported attitude of the President toward
Spain sis calculated to produce . feeling
of uneasiness." 1t does not see treason
for rupture Of friendly relations with
Spain 1t the present time" The reason.
ing on which the Commercial supports
these propodaonsis little odd. It thinks
