Thc Louisiana Investigation.

New ORLEANS, January 5.-Thc fol-
lowing Is an epiIome of the testimony
given before the Congressional Commit
tee last evening:
General Hazard, cotton merchant
was in the Federal army; have resided
here three wears; find no difference be-
tween the treatment received by whites
or blacks on account Of politics; neither
Saw nor heard OF any intimidation at the
last election; the personal reputation, he
considers. Of the officials in Louisiana, is
such that they would not br received in
either Northern or English families; the
reputation of Republicans has been such
that Republican newcomer Is liable to
feel the effects of the prciudiced
feeling which existed against the wrong
docrs of that party.
John Dixon. Jr., lawyer of that city,
saws one Democratic negro was assaulted
ON account OF his politics, and he re-
oues,cd the arrest ci several Republican
negroes who had assaulted Democratic
negroes which request was refused; says
the police were either unable or unwIll-
inr to act; i one of the organizers of the
Crescent City White League; does not
propose to to deny the negroes any rights
or privileges on account of race
or color; says the White Leagues were
not out for the interference Of the State
authority.
To-day the general opinion at present
among the White League Is that resort
to arms now would follow.
G. Hunt. Methodist minister testified
that he was at AlcXanderia during the
election. and noticed that many colored
people voted Conservative tickets; saw
no attempt to coRtrol votes; people were
at liberty to vote as they pleased; heard
it rumored they We're discharglng coIored
people who voted the Republican ticket,
but both were nuvtrfed; colored people
voted the Conservative ticket because
they We're dissatisfied with the local of.

NJ. NJ. Simpson, now Vice President OF
the bank says, two more years of such
rule would reduce this State to beggary;
he SAYS one years Conservative rule
would raise the State completely.

negroes declared that they had beep

That Would not Do.

The time had passed when a plain viola
tioa of the Constitution and
law could lie thus excused.
The dominant party tried that on last fall
when it set up tho Southern outrage
mill with Attorney General as chief mil
Ter. But people Of the country rcjcct.l
the product of that mill; it WA, the duty
of Congress to harmonic the people of
the whole country and not to produce
sectional hatred by constantly preaching
that people OF one section are aS,assins
and murdcrers. What warrant had the
Senator from Vermont, Edmunds. for
charging that the people Of Louisiana
were assassins and murdcrecS? Because
some lives were lost there, did that fact
make the people of whole State aSsas-
sins? Mr.. Morton said he welcomed this
resolution, but he wanted it enlarged 50
the whole truth could be told. II would
afford an opportunity to contradict the
ten thousand lies from Louisiana. What
evidence was there that Conservatives
carried the election there, except the
word of White League?
Pending the discussion the Senate adj

dettl who murdered men here on the
nth of last September, and also more
recently at Vicksburg, Mis-

TO law and order, and the peace and

have the President send to the Senate
any information he has in regard to the
evidence of an armed organization in
Louisiana, hostile to the government and
State. What he had done had been
done in view oil the fact that murder had
been rampant in Louisiana, in view Of
the fact that these very men who sur
rounded the Legislature were covered
with blood, and ready to commit fresh
murders.
Mr.. Howe supported the amendment
of the Senator from New York, and
Logan made characteristic speech,
claiming that murders had been COM
mitted, and by Democrats or their
friends
Dir. Bogg said he was uot an apologist
for murder and disturbance, but he did

government for protection. He then
read telegram from General Sheridan,
and said that the testimony of that officer
was entitled to weight. Continuing his
argument he said that he had been
taught that the protection Of human life
and human liberty was the chief duty Of

[H Vice-Prcsident Wilson
has become a thorn in the SIDE
of the Administration, and it is
now broadly intimated, that.
should his health continue good,
he may attempt to lead a reform
movement in the Republican
party. 1t is understood that
he holds that none of the pledges
of reform made by the Republi-
cans in 1872, have been redeem
ed, and that an honest effort 70
redeem them even now, would
reunite the masses Of the party,
His letter has called out much
hostile comment in Administers
ton circles, and the President
and some of the senators are dis
posed to apply the same kind
of treatment which they applied
to Mr.. Sumner. Fortunately
for himself, however, Mr.. Will
son occupies a position when
thew cannot disturb him.
