At last tho "organ"o has clasped
hands across the bloody chasm. At
least we conclude so from the name it
has assumed. 1t is trying very hard
to bridge that other chasm-the breach
between the Republican party and the
Liberals. If chewing back that string
Of abuse heaped upon theLiberals by a
plentiful use of fawning will do il,
they stand a fair chance of success.
We are of the opinion ahowevels thai
the Liberals of this County are men of
too much intelligence and are too. ill.,
dependenttodo do otherwise than as they
think is right and proper for the real
good of the country and we think that
they will see that the right and proper
thing to do is to vote for William AL
len and the whole Democratic ticket.
PITTsBURG is in a sad condition. A
debt of $1,000, 600 hangs heavy over
her head, and not dollar III the treas
ury. The Post says, the hand of the
Philistine is upon the peoples threats

No ARMED REsIsTANcE.-The follow
ing from the New Orleans Times of last
Sunday, if the indications are correct,
shows some common sense, as there has
never been a moment since the war
when the South could gain anything by
a conflict with Federal authority, or by
doing anything that would bring about
such a conflict:
From present indications the United
States forces are destined to again
enact the part OF Warwick, and greater
than the king maker, to create the law
making power of the State. From the
outlook d satisfactory remedyis bymany
deemed hopeless, ndrumors of compro-
mise are following in the wake of rumors
of war. So nicely adjusted have affairs
become in this best government Oh the
face of the EARTH that even the pre-
negatives heretofore deemed inalienable
are not accorded. Whatever may be
the abstract right to resist tyranny to
the bitter end, all can rest assured that
right will not be exercised. The out
break of September has been too preg-
nant with results to justify another re-
sort to arms, and whatever be the his
tory of the next two weeks resistance
to Federal authority will not be record
ed. Contrasting under laws manufac-
tured for the occasion by ones enemy,
seems like struggling ata disadvantage,
but it is the only peaceable right which
is left. The determination of the
White League to remain quiescent
seems deliberate, and dictated by a SEN
timent which cannot for q moment be
questioned.
The Opelousas journal. [volume] (Opelousas, La.) 1868-1878, 1875-01-01

FEDERAL TRooPs.-Reundabout in
the New Orleans Times Of last Sunday,
says:
1t is d noticeable fact that for several
days the troops stationed in different To-
calities have been kept well in hand,
and the fact that they are under orders
to hold themselves in readiness, can no
longer be doubted. Neither does any
n pretend to deny that Gen. EmOry's
instructions are of such q character as
to leave him but ono course to pursue in
case of trouble. Those who hope to pre-
cipitate d revolution, however, reckon
without their host. Roundabout has
been assured thatthe line of policy pur-
sued from the incipiency of the White
League movement will not be departed
from ia the most minor particular. Al
conflict with Federal authority is uni
yersally regarded as simply madness.
No combination of circumstances will
ever induce it, and were the troops here
relieved of all other duty, excepting the
putting down Of armed resistance to the
government, the chances are ninety-nine
in q hundred that theremainder of their
lives would be passed in idleness.

The Returning Board.

New Orleans Sunday Times, Dec. 97th.
A rumor circulated freely on Saturday
mornlngthatthe members of the Return
ing Board had left the city. After in
quiry it is ascertained that the report is
untrue. Mr.. Anderson and all the
members OF the Board, except ex-Gov.
Wells, were seen on the street on Sat
uFday.
The report no doubt had its origin in
the fact that Gov. Wells left ON Thurs
day evening for hisplantationi in Rapides
parish. He was q passenger on the Grand
Ecore packet Fleta, from which boat,
just before she left her landing, he wrote
the following letter to Mr.. Arroyo, in re-
gard to his resignation:

Oscar Arroyo, Esq:
DEAR SIR have the honor to inform
You that your resignation as a member
OF the Board has been duly accepted.
Very respectly,
j. MADISON WELLS,
President Board Of Returning Officers.
The above letter was delivered to Mr..
ArroYo on Christmas day at II o'clock.
The political friends of Mr.. Wells say he
was called home on account of sickness
in his family, and that he will return to
the city again on Wednesday.

lit appears that the summary of the
Legislature returns as made by the Re-
turning Board, was Incorrectly made up
as 81 Republicans and 50 Democrats. 1t
should have been 50 Republicans and 53
