Whereas, it has been represented to me
by Lieut.. Gen. P. H. Sheridan, now com
manding the military division Of the Mis-
souri,, that defiance to the Iawn exists in
the Stale of Louisiana, and whereas such
"defance to the law" consists, as it is also
represented to me:
First. In cOntemning the person and re-
s;sting the authority Of VIM. Pitt kellogg,
Governor Of Louisiana, whom 1 elected to
that Office myself
Second. In cOntemning the person and
resisting the authority Of body known as
the kellogg Legislature which l also elect
ed myself;
Third. In contemnfng the person and
resisting the authority Of one Stephen B
Packard, Marshal Of the district Of Louis
lana, whom 1 appointed to that Office;
Fourth. In cOntemning and generally de-
spising one James F. Casey, Collector Of
the port Of New Orleans, who is brother
in-law Of minei
Fifth. In complaining Of excessive taxa
tiOn, and accusing my friends Of stealing
the public money, when il is notorious that
they have no way Of getting a living but by
stealing;
Sixth. In a general hatred Of thieves,
which, in a state ruled by my particular
friends, is the strongest evidence Of resist
ance 70 lawful authority;
Seventh. In denunciatiOn Of 1 be election
law and the State Returning Board, which
were both manufactured in order 20 enable
a minority Of my supporters to govern
majority Of my opponents;
Eighth. Informing armed ''white leagues
when it is we'll known that il is my pleas
ure that nothing but @black leagues" shall
exist in the Southern States;
And whereas, the Constitution Of the
United States has been supposed to provide
that the people may peacefully assem-
bic and petition for redress Of grievances;
and also that the right Of the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be infringed;
And whereas, / am advised by the At
tOrney General that these two clauses ap-
ply only TO citizens Of African descent;
And, whereas, l am advised by Hon. p.
II. Sheridan, an eminent lawyer, now Of New
Orleans, that / may by proclamation declare
any persons obnoxious to me 70 be "baD-
ditti,n and direct them to be shot or other
wise executed, without further ceremony;
And, whereas, the said p. Fl. Sheridan
has publicly said that ''there is law for it
somewhere and, whereas, l don't know
but there is, and it seems reasonable; and,
whereas, 1 have recently telegaphed 20 the
said p. H. Sheridan that had s'every con-
fdence in him and approved his course"
Now, therefore, i, Ulysses Simpson
| Grant, Presidnet Of the United States, by
| the advice of said p. III. Sheridan, and Un-
der the war power, do publish this my
| proclamation, and do hereby declare that
| all persons in the said State Of Louisiana
who do not heartily, earnestly, and with
/ out mental reservation, support the gov
] eminent of the said William Pitt kellogg,

are, and the sane are hereby made, cOnsti-
/ tuted, and appointed BANDITTI, and /
/ do hereby authorize and empower the said
/ Lieut.. Gen. p. ii. Sheridan, and any other
man wearing shoulder straps, (whether his
own OF bOuOWei) to arrest such banditti
wherever they may be found, ard to shoot,
stab, behead, drown, draw, quarter, disem-
bowel, O.S-OtherWise slaughter such ban
ditti, and thus stop their grumbiing about
their taxes and render them peaceful citi-
sens and content with the government Of
the said William PITT kellogg.
In order that the said Gen. Sheridan and
his subOrdinates may not mOlest any Of
my friends, the following rules are pro-
mulgated for their guidance:
First A white skin, straight hair, and
tOlerably regular features are presUmptive
proof that a person is bandit.
Second. An intelligent cOuntenance
should never 90 unquestiOned. The proba-
bility that its owner is a bandit is over
Whelming.
Third. ANY person who is a clergyman,
teacher, physician, lawyer, merchant, or
other business man shall be considered a
bandit.
Fourth. Any person who can read, write,
or cipher shall be considered a bandit, un-
less be can prove to the satisfaction Of the
officer arresting him that he has been in
dicted for crime.
Fifth, Any person with a good educa-
tion shall be treated as a bandit, without
benefit Of clergy.
Sixth. Any person owning real estate is
hereby declared a bandit, unless he can
prove that it was bought at a tax sale, with
money taken from the State Treasury.
Seventh. Possession Of personal proper
ty to the amount Of SO OF over, shall be
proof that the owner is a bandit, unless he
can show that it was stolen.
Eighth. ANY person who has heretofore
borne a good character shall be deemed a
bandit, until the contrary is proved.
Ninth. Persons with black skins, WOOlly
hair, and Ethiopian features shall not be
considered bandits, unless shown to have
voted the Conservative ticket.
Tenth. Persons convicted Of crime or in
dicted therefor shall in no case be cOnsid-
cred bandits, and for the purposes Of this
rule a pardon from Gov. kellogg shall be
deemed additional proof Of guilt. Any
person may claim the benefit Of this rule
who can prove to the entire satisfaction Of
the officer arresting him that he ought to
have been convicted Of some crime, and
satisfactory evidence that the party so ar
rested voted the Republican ticket at the
last election shall be sufficient proof Of
such liability.
And hereby enjOin the said Lieut.. Gen.
Sheridan to be vigilant and energetic in
this great duty Of sitting the chaT from the
wheat, so that the population Of Louisiana
NAV. as soon as possible, consist entirely OF
negroes and thieves, and give unanimous
support TO my administration.

He then referred to Pinchbaek, and
said he believed that name was
applied 70 jewelry, but whether it was ap-
plicable to the solidity OF color Of the Jew
ely he did not know. lLaughter.l The
Republicans had lost Ohio, New York, In
diana, Pennsylvania aud Missouri, and he
did not think now that the electoral vote
Of Louisiana was worth fighting for any
longer, and that was his greatest hope Of
peace.
Before concluding his argument, Mr.. Tip
ton yielded to Mr.. Conkling, who said there
was q message from the President, in
regard to the finance on the table, and the
Senate would like to hear it read, if it
would suit the Senator from Nebraska to
resume his argument tomorrow.
Mr.. Upton replied that he would prefer
to resume in the morning.
The message was then read. Mr.. Sher-
man moved that it be referred back TO the
Committed on Finance. Agreed 10.
After an Executive session, the Senate
adjourned.

THE COMPTROLLERsHIP IKVEsTI.
CATION.


CATION.
We have studiously refrained from
publishing street reports concerning
the testimony elected by the commit
tee appointed to investigate the alleged
sale of the ComptroIlership, having
had sufficient experience in journalism
to know how much such statements are
worth. As the committee holdsits ses-
sions with closed doors, and the witnesses
and clerk are sworn not to reveal what
occurs, we have not felt warranted In
attempting to thus anticipate the re-
port that viii be made TO the House.
We may state now, however, in
general terms, that Mr.. Hobbs does
appear to have resigned his Office
for a consideration. He admits this
frankly, and asserts that It was done
TO reimburse himself for expenses in
CURED IN obtaining the Office, contend
ing that the money was not drawn from
the taxpayers, and that the people
were in no wise damaged By the trans.
action.
1t seems to be further understood
that neither Gov. Brown nor Comp
troller Burch had any knowledge or
concern IN the resignation Of Mr..
Hobbs, either directly OF remotely; that
the resignation was matter between
Mr.. Hobbs and others, and that neither
of the two officials named either knew
of, or were to be benefited by his resig-
nation.
This is the sum Of what seems to
have been ascertained by the commit
tee Of investigation, so far; and, while
this statement is excused, on our part,
by publications already made and by
gossip on the streets, we desire to say
that a suspension of public opinion on
the subject would be entirely proper,
until the committee shall have submit
ted their report. AT that time we pro.
pose to lay the report before the public,
IN full, with such parts Of the evidence
as may sustain IT; and, in case Of a
divided committee, we shall give both
reports.
We may call attention, in this con-
nection, to the fact that as the COM
mittee has upon it three Republicans
out Of a membership in the House of
only six-half the whole number in
that body-and that all the others, ex-
cept Judge Lea, voted against the
Funding bill, it is not at all probable
that the investigation Will be biased
by partisanship, either IN politics or
with reference to the Funding bill.
The attitude Of the UNION AND
AMERICAN is upon this, as upon all
questions, either of principle OF of in
dividual conduct IN public affairs,
