A MODERN AJAX.
usurpers.

As Ajax defed the thunderbolts of Olympus,
so Ames deties public odium:
am aware Of the reluctance of the people
of the country to national interference in
State affairs though if there be no violation
of the law there can be no interference Per-
NIT me to express the hope that the odium of
such interference shall not attach to President
Grant or the Republican party. As the Gov
ernor of the State made a demand which
can not well be refused. Let the odium in
all its magnitude descend on me. can not
escape the conscientious discharge of my duty
toward class of American citizens, whose
only offense consists in their color, and whom
am powerless TO protect.
So telegraphs Ames of Massachusetts,, pre-
tending to be Governor of Mississippi, to
Attorney General Pierrepont on the 18th of
September. He is made aware before this
time that to an officer acting under the
law there is something needed more than q
mere demand to induce him to sanction the
exercise of a very extraordinary executive
power. The grim old lawyer must have been
moved to derisive smile at the invocation of
Ames and at his limited sense of executive
responsibility. "Give me soldiers and mar
tial law" says Ames, sand will bear all the
odium, so that none may attach to Gen. Grant
or the Republican party"
A carpet-bag deputy constable could have
said the same thing with equal propriety.
The call was impertinent from the outset

ORLEANS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER

Something more than negro riot is requisite
10 justify demand for the local exercise o.
the supreme executive authority Of the Repub
lie. The responsibility for such an act is ex
ceedingly grave, and before it is resorted &c
the necessity must be great, evident and ur.
gent Among the privileges given up by the
States was that of keeping standing armies in
time of peace, and to provide against insur-
rection, rebellion, and the overthrow and de.
fance of State authorities, the proviso was
inserted that the Legislature of State, or,
when the Legislature could not be convened,
the Executive in their stead might call on
the chief executive authority for the use of a
part of the army of which he is commander
in-chief. No such condition has at any time
since the close of the war existed in any
Southern State Ames, as mock Governor,
could have convoked the Legislature of Mis-
sissippi in ten days. Not single road or
lane or footpath leading from the remotest
corner of the State to the capital was OBJ
struc ed by insurgents. At the date of his
call the capital Of the State was neither occu-
pied nor in any manner threatened. This
condition of affairs was known or shrewdly
guessed at Washington, and the weakened
interloper was answered accordingly.
Under the advice of Williams, who was
destitute of legal knowledge and moral sense,
Grant incurred much needless odium by
granting military power in similar cases. The
chiefs of his party, bearing in part the re-
Elected odium, have given him wholesome ad-
vice. How little soever of common sense
Ames may have, Grant has enough to teach
him that the odium and responsibility can
not be shifted from the Chief Magistrate rep
resenting forty millions of people to a pre-
tended Governor, who can scarcely be said to
represent half of his black constituents
The -Pierrepont correspondence is
another proof that where whites and blacks
are equally divided, government elected by
the latter exclusively, and based only on their
will and consent, can be sustained only by an
external power in any emergency where
popular excitement arises, unless by the moral |
md physical support of the whites.
1t is a new proof that where the color line
9 surety party line, the colored preponder-
ance is not enough to give to their proxies
md representatives the real and full powers
which their Offices imply. Without saying
hat the whites must and will rule
n such cases, it is proved that the
elective government of free State can never
uccessfully defy the prevailing sentiments of
he people, or of that minority of the people
Who WELD the majority of influence, or
Who are endowed with the weight of COM
lined wealth and intelligence.
negro dynasty, even with imported or
lative whites as proxies, is only made posi-
lie by an external armed support, and the
ooner this fact is recognized the better will
be for that class who never prosper except
7here quiet, order and law prevail.

A literary friend who passed through Geor-
gia few days ago was detained for twelve
hours at Atlanta, and availed himself of the
opportunity thus fforded by calling on that
great master of serial fiction, Prot. William
Henry Peck, brother of the Peck Brothers,
of this city. The Professor was found in the
enjoyment of that elegant ease which is the
hope of every ambitious Eaerateur, though the
assured reward of only the successful few.
His home surroundings are of the most inter-
esting character, and to him fond wife and
highly cultured family are not only WELL
spring of joy, but source OF perpetual in
SEPARATION. Amid the endearments of home
he finds many of the hints which his fertile
fancy weaves into the flowers of romance, to
serve as contrasts for the more startling flights
OF tragic invention. Hence the success he
has achieved His pen. which has been
called diamond-tipped," is never idle and
never uselessly employed. Long my be live

INDIANOLA'S AFFLIOTION.

We record with much regret further news
of the ravages of the wind and sea in our
sister State of Texas When the intelligence
of the terrible havoc in Galveston reached US
we felt as if the strong hand of affection had
indeed fallen heavily upon our neighbor, but
later reports, instead of bringing us good
tidings, have but added disaster to disaster
until it seems as if the Lone Star State had
been laid under the ban Of grief and sore
trouble.
Fast upon Galveston's troubles comes the
sad intelligence that Indianola has been com.
pletely washed away, and that full two hun
bred Of her citizens have lost their lives in
the Inflated city. Situated on Matagorda
Bay without any protection from the fury of
its waves, the city fell an easy prey to the
angry waters when dashed by the terrible
storm, and readily succumbed to its terrible
fate.
If the affection of Galveston called for
and aid from our citizens, how
much more cogent are the sorrowful appeals
which, though as yet unspoken, should en-
list the earnest efforts of our people to pro-
vide for the many that must perforce be sore
ly in need Of the very necessaries of life.
Let our citizens see to it that the people of
our sister city are saved whate'er of sorrow it
may be in our power to assuage; though our
aid can but be small, let it be given with
willing and ready hand, and should it be of
any service the good will which prompted its
offering will compensate for the paucity of
Dur offerinos

Since the Wheeler adjustment there has
been q perfect calm in our political waters,
the leaders having fallen back for the purpose
of taking mp new posi- tion in view of the
campaign of 1876 At present the policy of
neither party has been fully developed but
some facts have leaked out, indicating the
direction in which the Republican leaders are
looking for the means to carry the election
next year, and thus retain power for four
years longer.
Hitherto they have commended that there
was an actual majority of Republican voters
in Louisiana of from 10, 600 to 20, 600; that to
overcome this majority in 1872 the election
machinery was to be so manipulated by War
moth as to give the Democracy a majority;
and that in 1874 the plan of the Democratic
leaders was, by the use of violence, to intimi-
date the colored population and keep them
from voting. The Republicans therefore, as
they say, met fraud with fraud in 1872, and
violence with violence in 1874; that is to say,
they used the weapons of their adversaries
and initiated their policy. With the help of
Gen. Grant they succeeded in turning the
whole elective system into farce, although
farce OF q very serious character.
But such tactics have served their time; the
country is weary of these charges and counter
charges; public opinion has pronounced judg-
ment against the Republicans; Gen. Grant is
not likely to intermeddle in these State affairs
again, and therefore some other strategy must
be tried. This time they rely for success upon
an actual numerical superiority and superior
management in the contest at the polls. A
new census of the State has been taken, and
the result (not yet given to the public shows
that there has been large influx of negroes
into Louisiana since the last census. By the |
latter it appeared that the white population |
exceeded the colored by about 1000, but by |
