The Intimidation Meeting Last
.., Nieht.

We COPY the following from the
N. O. Republican of the 9TH instant
Yesterday afternpon the Bulletin
declared, In big job type, that the
people were aroused. In proof Of this
1t published . card signed by twelve
or fifteen gentlemen, claiming to he
the people, asking for mass meeting
at Clay Statue. - - az
A glance At the names will satisfy
any Intelligent Lonisianian that they
belong to 4 number of men who have
been nleftn in the resolution which
majority Of the Democratic members
Of the General Assembly have adopted
in caucus.
A thousand or fifteen hundred very
orderly but apparently indifferent
persona appeared at the place Of rem
dezvons and listened attentively to
the resolutions and speeches. IT will
be observed chat this mass-meeting
was composed exclusively Of citizens
of New Orleans. A majority, Of the
gentlemen whose official conduct they
met to criticise live in the country
were elected by rural constituents and
are known as country members. 1t
is very kind in New Orleans crowd
to undertake to dictate political NOR
atty and give orders to other peoples
servants, to NEEDLE in affairs that do
not concern them.
The, gentlemen who were thus en-
gagged in the intimidation business
belong to the minority wing Of their
own party, They are applying the
same tactics to their late political as
sociatss which they have been prac-
ticing against Republican,, and will
probably make another signal failure.
We have no further interest in the
quarrel than a desire to see every cit
izen If Louisiana perfectly free to
choose his own political opinions and
associates, and to decide upon his own
action. Any System which denies him
these rights is tyrannical.

What Was The Reason :!

Mr.. T. w. Abney, a witness before
the congressional committee, called
by the Democrats, testified that just
before the Coushatta prisoners were
about to start for Shreveport, under
a guard OF his appointing, he succeeded
in persuading one Of the prisoners,
Henry A. Scott, from going with the
doomed men,. When asked why he
took an interest in Mr.. Scott, he
stated that he and Scott were Master
Masons. That explanation is per-
haps clear enough in itself, but is in
sufficient as it stands. We naturally
ask why Mr.. Abney used his influence
t. prevent, only Mr.. Scott going on q
voyage which sent six gentlemen to
n terrible death I The only infer
ence to be drawn is that Mr.. Abney
was apprehensive of what was about
to happen to those doomed half a
dozen innocent men. Looking at the
matter from the witness stand point,
he took no interest whatever in any,
save one, Of the prisoners, and that
was because that one was a Mason.
Six men were not members of lodge.
therefore we're not advised to avoid
the risk of danger which resulted in
death. Mr.. Abney's testimony shows
him to have been active in behalf of
but one person and remain silent
while six untried human beings were
anarc]ed into the jaws of death. If
Masonry were sufficient for tho wit
ness to preserve a brother from as
sassination, should it not have been
powerful enough to save six citizens
who had never been declared guilty
of y crime By 9 competent tribunal Z
Mr.. Abney must have had some
real cause for advising his brother
Mason against embarking on that aw-
full journey, and this belief is backed
up by the fact that he appointed tie
" guard" Perhaps at no distant day
q witness may be produced who can
and will unravel that which MIR. Alb
ney has witlLeld.-N. o. Republican.

The National Legislation I'm
Shackled,

The House Of Representatives has
adopted the new rule, after most ex-
citing debate. Dilat0ry motions are
now Do longer possible, and business
can be dispatched with some prompt
ness during the remaining precious
days Of the session. 1t has elements of
danger, but it was clearly designed to
meet y desperate case, and its abuse
wOuldbo very detrimental to the best
interests Of Republican majority.
The Civil Rights bill can now be
passed, and firm friends made Of the
colored people. who have lately
through their most prominent men
explained the condition of the South,
and the urgent need of Congressional
interference. No doubt the Demo-
Gratis and their friends will raise more
loudly than eyer the cry that the en-
actment Of the Civil Rights bill will
be the Inauguration Of cisil strife.
But it is merely cry; the real dan
ger is all the other way.
In virtue of their avOwel princi-
piles, Republicans can not do other
~ire than pass the bill the party in
power have led the colored people to
believe that the bill was Just, and
that it would be made law. If the
corner stone of civil rights be not
placed upon the grand monument of
.enfraachisement they have erected
through blootlshed and toll, their
enemies will not scrnple to sheer
at the unfinished work. Even the
Freedmen, in the heart sickness of
hope deferred, in despair Of holding
theirallRa, ! and in dread of personal
injury. may become afienated from
those - whom they owe 80 much, or
rise in :insurreetion to iaveuge their
wrongs.
There will be, also, an opportunity
offered to the Republicans to take
to meet the existing tinan-
cixl tli6icalties Of the Government,
and they car dc this, if they choose,
in such q way "a to command the con
hdence of all trae citizens, who will
not forget sound, statesnaplike work.
