constitution.

"Yoric" writes with much solemnity
from "Black River" to the Bulletin, that
he knows man who knows several other
men who can tell all about frauds in the
census, both in Catahoula and Concordia
parishes. In fact he knows the exact num-
Der of families who have been designedly
overlooked by the census taker-and from
his own improbable assertion, deduces
that plot is in progress to reduce the
white vote.
Now, if "Yoric" is bona fde cores
pondent, the Bulletin was very stupid or
very malicious in not verifying his state
ments before publishing If the cores
pondent "to my own knowledge" can give
the names of twelve, eighteen, or any
other number of families omitted from the
census, the fact can very easily be proven
beyond bubble and the attack justified.
The returns of all families are on file from
each parish.
We know the census has been honestly
taken SO far as lay in the power of the
State authorities to make it so. The Re-
publican party certainly had nothing to
conceal in the matter. Here is the first
specific charge of wrong doing made by
our opponents, and We challenge the Bul-
letin to the proof.
New Orleans Republican., 1875-09-29

tiles? During the whole of the labor
season from picking the cotton crop to
laying it by, not one word of com
plant has been heard of the negro la
borer or domestic.
So soon as this object has been attained
the political element chases the negro
into the swamps and asserts that he is the
most idle and dangerous nuisance, and
must be exterminated. The world-of
cotton dealers, at least-will see that these
two representations are inconsistent. Men
can not make the greater part of four mil
lion bales, and then become so depraved
and demoralized that they will not secure
the crop which they have made. 1t seems
to us that the poor negroes are between
''the sea and the barbarians." They are
driven from their homes and property in
the country; they are sent to the chain
gang or driven back to the country by
those " ho wish "a notable increase in
cotton shipments. There can be no
sissipri to deny the negro the right of suf-
trage. 1t is also apparent that he is still
regarded as serf who may be required
to toll in the field or in the kitchen, or
put in the chain gang or shot if he hesi-
tates to work out his destiny.
This reign of terrorism ir Mississippi
may tend to account in some degree for
the immigration Of negro laborers into
Louisiana. 1t is as natural for the timid
and unprotected to huddle together for
protection as for sheep to do the same
thing, and there may be fancied security
in Louisiana which sends the poor crea-
lures here for protection. While in a
party sense it may strengt hen the Repub-
lican vote, we would, for the honor of
humanity, prefer that they might labor
in peace in Mississippi.

2. Can not the Southern Wings find
more congenial principles and safer action
in the Republican party?
| In regard to the first question, it may
be affirmed without successful contradic-
ton, that the Southern Democracy will
pursue the spoils of government through
the perilous path of violating the federal
constitution, of insurrection and civil war
In respect to the second question, it
may be said that the Southern Wings
| should, before surrendering their allie
glance to the Democracy, await the ac-
ton of the Republican party. Now that
the question of slavery has been eliminated
from the platforms of al! parties, it may
be boldly affirmed that the principles of
the Republican party are those Of the
Southern Wings. l. A love of the Union
and an obedience to the laws. 2. The de-
| velopment of all material interests, which
at last established the freedom es we'll as
the perpetuity of a people. 3. A cordial
cooperation of all citizens, without re-
gard to accidents of birthplace or condi-
ton in the welfare and defense of the re-
public.
This summary of the party relations
between the Southern Wings and Demo-
Gratis, of the exclusive control of the Con-
federate government and the renewed
purpose of the Democracy to secure the
federal government by local violence
and unscrupulous political combinations
should lead the Southern Wings to con-
slider how they shall so cast their votes as
to secure guarantee of public integrity
and personal protection. 1t is copvic-
tion that they are entitled to some share
in the administration of the government
which impels them to keep aloof from
the Conservative convention to reorganize
the Democratic party, anu iu await tno
action of the Republican party. 1t may
be now seen whether with such an unex-
ceptionable schedule of principles as the
Republicans have published they will
present a ticket commanding the public
confidence that they will etfectually exc
cute the schedule
New Orleans Republican., 1875-09-29

whites or blacks, Republicans OF Demo-
Gratis, is entirely immaterial. Persons or
parties are not respected in an impartial
administration of the law. A remarkable
feature of these occurrences is, that not
withstanding the loss of life and breaches
of the peace, they are followed by no
arrests or attempts to punish the malefac-
tors. Certainly some were guilty, and
some deserved punishment Why do they
! not receive attention in the courts of Mis-
sissippi? Why do not the White Line
leaders, so ready in the offer of srmed
companies for the preservation of the
peace, cause few afidavits to be made
out in disordered localities, and, as good
citizens, offer sheriffs posse to uphold a
county or district Judge?
1t has been observed that in Georgia a
reported attempt at negro insurrection
was followed by the arrest of alleged ring
leaders, and compliance with the forms
of law. 1t would appear that in Georgia
prevails sober public opinion, to defy
the reign of the lawless, which finds no
parallel in Mississippi Shall it be said
that where the law and its machinery are
under the control Of the White Line they
will be reverenced, and where controlled
by Republicans dehed?
We ssk these questions of all men who
love justice better than party, the law
more than lawlessness, and desire them
to answer to themselves. Republicans
will say that where judges are not driven
out they are silenced; the mandates of
sheriff are dsobeyed, or if obeyed by col
ored Republicans the posse is overawed;
that White Liners do not make affidavits
against members of their own organiza-
ton, and when Republicans do SO they
are notified to leave the country; that
when sheriffs and judges appeal to the
.'iaie eAeuutive partisan. pI1ss assdi,s
them, and when the State executive calls
for troops he encounters the united oppo-
sition of a political party against the en-
forcement of the law. Will Democrats
say that, with their education and wealth,
the control of nineteen-twentieths of the
lawyers, and the power to ride over
community by force of arms, they are
powerless to assist in the arrest and i'm
prisonment Of few rioters? Will they
acknowledge that mob rules Mississippi
and the law-abiding are powerless to pre-
vent it? When Governor Ames proceeded
to organize militia to uphold the courts
in the administration of the law, we have
seen Democrat rush into court and OBJ
tain an injunction to prevent the use of
public money to sustain it. If the courts
can be used for militia injunctions, are
they not sufficient for the arrest and pun
ishment of rioters?
Let them answer as they may, we will
only add that the result in Mississippi is
the usual one witnessed in the South for
years past. With the notable Georgia ex-
ception alluded to, the so-called NEGRO
riots are never followed by arrests or
convictions in State courts. No one ever
read or heard of the conviction of Ku-
klux or White Liner outside of federal
court, near the presence of federal troops
at its service, and unaccompanied by
grievous Democratic howl against federal
interference, and tears for ssviolated"
constitution.
