Southern whites esteem Them
selves to be, they hold in their
hands the iesae Of the great
struggle Of 1876. They are
the determining element in the
and anxious period
through which the country is,
now passing. Everything de-
ponds on them. TT depends
on them whether the violent
scheme meditated by the des-
peradoes of the Republican
party shall be successful or
not. The desperadoes can do
nothing without the CO. opera
ton Of the Southern whites
They presume on their impa-
tience; they are attempting to
taunt and provoke them to ex-.
cesses. Givena disturbed and.
1isordered condition in the
South, with collisions between
the whites and blacks-and
the Republicans count conf
IDENTIFY on carrying the next
presidential election; and this
is why they are attempting to
MAKE the disturbed and disor-
derly condition which their
problem needs. Given, on the
other hand, q tranquil condi-
ton in the South, and kindly
and friendly relations between
the whites and blacks and a
patient endurance Of the
wrongs and usurpations enact
ed for the purpose Of driving
them to resentment-and the
next election will bring with it
the utter overthrow Of Repub-
licanism and with it the deliv-
erance Of the South. The pres
ent congress may pass all the
Ku-klux laws it can devise;
and the President with his ma
flignant Attorney General and
General Sheridan, to aidIihim,
may make every conceivable
use of their usurpedauth ority;
but all will be of no avail to
save them and the party, if
the Southern whites shall
maintain their patience and
composure through the ordeal.
The whetted sword will re-
bound from the unresisting
victims against whom it is di-
rected, and stab those who
WELD it; the administration
will sink to the ground under
it's own policy ofiron and steel.
4. is q recognition Of this i'm
portant truth that prompted
the Democratic members OF
Congress to issue the recent
Address to the Southern peo-
pie. Let the Address be ac-
l-cepted and made the. rule o1
action 10 the Southern States
for the next twelve months,
and the administration may as
well surrender All its hopes
are based on its power to pro.
woke violence, that it may
/, have q pretext for drawing the
sword; if the violence which i,
seeks to provoke, and on which
It counts, shall fail tiff the
Southern States shall remain
peaceful il spite Of all its ef
forts to drive them into disor
ders, public opinion at the
North will have full play, and
it will make havoc Of the ad,

5. The entire want ofapy direct
evidence to show any general In
timidation Of col0red voters. OF
course, IN 10 large q State, it
w0pld be impossible that there
should be no instance Of refusal TO
empIoy, or Of intimidation. Such
occur ID every State; but that
evidence certainly indicates no
general intimidation Of c0lored
voters, and that such Intimidation
as did exist in the State was ratll-l
or 10 the iatercst Of the Repnbli
cans than Of the Conservatives.
The United States Marshals,
whose Chief was Chairman Of the
Republican State COMMITTEES, arm
ed in some cases with blank war
rants Of arrest, aud aided By
Federal troops, made constant ar
rests before the election, but not
afterward. The over sight OF the
election and the returns wero in
the hands Of Gov. KellOggls on
cials. Their account and return
did show twenty mine majority of
members Of the Lower House
elected by the Conservatives,
without any protest whatever, ex-
cept III three parishes, although It
was their province and duty to
protest 10 any case where violence
and Intimidation or fraud existed.
Indeed, the direct evidence as to
the election of 1874, as well as
the circumstances, clearly indicate
y peaceable and fair election. In
fact, after the visit Of the first
Committee, aud the revisit Of the
Special Committee, tho Kellogg
patty, with oil their machinery
for collecting evidence, were una
bic to produce ID the entire State
more than half = dozen persons to
testify TO amy thing impeaching
the freedom and fairness of the
late elections who were not Office.
h0rlers, or connected with Office
holders.
Againt such facts it seems to us
idle to assume that the disturUan.
ces 60 yividly pictured BY the
minority could have kept mp
throughout their State such .
feeling Of intimidation as would
justify the assumption that but
for that feeling the State have
gone Republican. All experience
shows that the result Of the cleo.

turned to the Recurring Board,
was natural, and 70 be only ~
