In the case of Louisiana, we have seen u
Federal court. acting under the inspiration
of Federal otice-hciders, by a decree in
cbancery epjDin the Executive of the State
from performing his executive functions,
and the Legislature Of the same State from
assembling at lis capital; and through the
United States marshal revolutioD'ze the
State government, and put new Governor
and Legislature in operation under Federal
b.yonets. And thus an inferior FederHl
Judge overthrows State government and
effects revolution by bill Of injunction.
And We have further seen the govern.
meDt thus installed by fraud and force
overthrown by an uprising of the Deo-
pie, uttering majestic protest against
acknowledged tyranny and Wrong-a
government too feeble TO maintain It's
supremacy. and too cowardly to strike a
manly blow for its power; and at the first
blush of revolution throw down the soyer-
eighty of the State and hasten to seek shelter
behind the Federal army. And it is
this government which the President Of the
United States recognizes as the de jure gov
eminent of Louisiana by virtue OF this de.
cree Of drunken judge, when it has ceased
by its own weakness and coTardice to be the
de fdcto government Of the State, and 10
exert the whole military power OF the United
States 10 r, establish its authority over the
people Of Louisiana. In the name Of the
American people, what kind of government
is that which needs an army to protect it
against the wrath of The people it mi>rules
1t is against the ascendancy of this party
in the State, with its series Of measures,
State and Federal, that the Conservatives are
again called upon to exert themselves, and
to uphold the supremacy they have so gall
lantly acquired and so maufully maintained.
And DOW, with an approaching presidential
election 10 which, for the first time since
the restoration Of the Union, there IS gene
raj belief that the National Democracy will
succeed, it would be contrary to reason and
to experience If it shall not be found that the
Conservative party is still united and active
against the authors of these tyraEnical and
oppressive measures.
The Conservative party still cherishes and
still practices the principles Of Its original
organization. 1t Is animated By the sane
spirit to-day that has always animated it IN
It's opposition TO Republican rule. 1t has tht
same old enemy to encounter IN the coming
canvass for the Legislature 1t has always en-
countered; and with the same unanimity

ment that the attempt to deny or abrldge
the right, to vote was "on account of race,

This proves it to be class legislation of The

to the whites, which should repel every

diligent care sought to conceal and get to

A SAD AccIDENT.-Last Thursday evening, at
about 10 O'clock, Mr.. James Tlmmons, a brick
mason who lives at Dayton, met with fearful
accident by which he was deprived of his right
arm. He was attempting to get upon freight
train at Grand Ridge to go home, when, owing
to the darkness and the difficulty Of climbing on
the caboose Of the train, he fell with one arm
under the wheels. The arm was of course COM
pietely crushed. He got up aud ran short dis
lance in state Of complete bewilderment cous-
ed by his intense agony, and then fell. Jay Doc
llttle being near, picked him up and brought
him to Ottawa. DR.. Campfeld successfully am.
putated the mansled arm, the poor sufferer
bearing the operation bravely. Ho was eased as
well as could be done with cpiates, and left I'M
der the care of Jay Dcoiittlc and John Cliff at
the Ottawa house, where he now lies. He is a
poor man, with large family, and presents
rather a pitiablc case.

The Streator Riot.

On last Saturday quite commotion was raised
in town by the receipt OF dispatch by Sheriff
Mclntire to the effect that Streator was engaged
in general riot. The Sheriff and posse, TO-
gether with newspaper reporters, Immediately
started for the scene Of action.
On arriving at Strcator, we found the lines
both withdrawn from the battlefield and the con
tending forces engaged in social game Of Pc
dro at Lomasneys. Keller being OF an uncon-
querabe disposition, had gone by boat TO Grand
Ridge, intending to form himself Into a double
line Of battle, and charge the town from the
north On arriving at the Ridge, he found his
ammunition TO be wet, and retired to a corn crib
to dry 1t of, when Porter put in an appearance
and got into position, A game Of draw was sug
gested and Keller won the deal. Porter ante'd
and. But by this time the Sheriff had his
skirmish line in Streator and Keller's forces were
left. The cause Of the difficulty was the moving
of house and came about as near creating
riot as thosgk there had been no building moved
at ell.
