party that had Clearly used violence tor
six months prior to the election, in order
to overcome the great fundamental rule Of
Republican government-the rule of the
majority. The congressional commit
tee can not in justice and in obe-
dience to law shut it eyes and ears
and refuse to see &d hear the evidence
that will prove that reign of terror &C.
tually existed in many parts of our State
for months prior to the last election, and
that that reign of terror was the means of
driving from the polls in many Of the
parishes sufficient number of Republi-
can votes to smother and defeat the will
of the majority. The proof of this and
the violent manner in which our very
Conservative Democrats endeavored to Or
ganize the House on the first day of the
present session, and thereby get posses
sion of the State government they very
naturally wish to conceal from the con-
gressional committee, because such proof,
while it would conserve the interest of the
law-abiding portion of our people, would
not preserve the intended rule of the
minority in the State.

THE NEW TARIFF,

We publish in another place the act of
Congress popularity known as the ''little
tariff" which will undoubtedly become a
law, though it has not as yet been an
nounced that the President has approved
it. The most important changes are in
imported wines and manufactured tobacco
to be Withdrawn for export The tax of
ten per cent on notes (other than national
bank notes. issued to circulate as cur
rency is revived or re-affirmed. The
Presidents recommendation to re-impose
the duties on tea and coffee has not been
embraced in this bill, though there is, we
believe, some prospect of legislation
on that subject before adjournment.
Petitions are going forward to Congress
almost every day against such tax, but
we hardly think they are backed up with
much influence

Charles Francis Adams is predicting
another civil war, or the destruction of
the country, with as much confidence and
gusto as though he felt sure of being sent
out again as minister to the court of St.
James. Good families, like that of the
honored Adamses of Massachusetts, sadly
degenerate with time, while bad ones grow
worse and worse. The Democrats certain
ly committed a blunder when they refused
to nominate this grandson of his grand
father for Governor of the old Bay State.
In recent letter to the Nation Mr. Adams
attempts to discuss the Louisiana case.
He ignores the colored element in the
South altogether, calls our White Leaguers
''the people, and forgets that the Repub-
Icans Of the North still hold the destinies
Of this country in their own hands. As.
this cuts off any hope he may entertain of
future preferment, he does not mention
the subject in his letter to the Nation..

CONGRESSIONAL RECOGNITION.

Whatever may be brought before the
congressional committee here, on one side
or the other, will probably have little in
fuence. in the decision of the Louisiana
question. Every intelligent man in Con-
gress is already thoroughly informed of
the truth, and is not in need of any fur
ther enlightenment from this section of
the Union. Some of them, it is true, are
waiting till their constituents can become
fully posted, in the hope of a sort Of tonic
in the shape Of an expression of opinion,
or even instructions. Present appear
ances indicate that the Senate will soon
pass a joint resolution recognizing the
Kellogg government, which will be put
through the House by the Republican ma
jority. The proposition to begin recon-
struction anew by practically abolishing
the present State governments in the
South has lately lost favor, and may pos
sibly be abandoned. But the idea that an
American citizen ought to be as safe
in his own country as he is abroad, and
entitled to the protection of his
flag as well in Louisiana as in Prussia or
Central America is one that will not be
relinquished. The President will pro-
badly be given authority in addition to
that conferred upon him by the recon-
struction and Instruction laws. The
suspension of the habeas corpus in certain
cases and localities is confidently pre-
dicted, which will be equivalent to au-
thority in the President to declare war.
There is much more likelihood of some
thing Of this kind than the success of the
McEnery administration or the Wilt
House of Representatives. Our grand
revolution will not take such step back
ward as would be implied by Congress
placing in the hands of its Democratic |
enemies here scourges for the backs of its
political friendsA We may be in danger
If martial law. but none whatever of
Democratic supremacy.

the law, can not be said to be ''intimi-
dated, within the meaning of the statute
His fight proclaims his guilt He may be
badly scared. A we'll grounded fear of
justice lends agility to his heels, but his
very natural scare is in no sense intimida-
ton. We learn it is the intention of the
Democratic consistory to show tn. con-
gressional committee that prodgious
number of white men were intimidated
last fall by the appearance of marshals
with wrlts of arrest, and followed by
United States soldiers. These fugacious
persons having since succeeded in finding
bail, are now ready to come forward and
swear before the committee that they
were horribly scared at the spectacle of
the stars and stripes and the cleaning
bayonets. Not all the white men, even
of Caddo parish or bloody Coushatta,
vanished from sight upon the advent of
the marshals and troops. The innocent
man never feels any other sentiment but
love-no other sensation than increased
safety when the blue coats approach him.
1t is otherwise with the guilty. He sees
in every man an avenger; in every mus
ket an instrument of retribution. It is
our opinion that man who had spent six
months in marrying and frightening the
negroes and then, just before election,
makes bee line for Texas or the sand
hills, is running away from himself, and
f he loses his vote it is his own fault.
But he can not establish a case of init
in his favor before any jury, I'M
ess it be composed of defeated candi-
lates. The Conservative committee will

business before commission of fair !
minded men.

THE CONSERVATIVES PROPOSAL"
Under this questionable heading, the

THE CONSERVATIVE PROPOSAL"
Under this questionable heading, the
Picayune of Sunday says:
The Conservative members of the Legis-
lature-those returned by the board and
those claiming to be elected by the people
have decided to ask the congressional COM
mittee to take their case under advisement
and give decision upon it.
We confess that should the committee
consent to regulate its course according
to. the suggestions and wishes of the very
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES party and its
White League allies, it would certainly
conserve their interest, but would not pre-
serve the law in its full force and the eff
forts Of its lawfully recognized admins
traitors to enforce it. The Conservative
members Of the Legislature, as the Demo-
cratic organs soothingly call the Demo-
cratic members returned by the
board and those claiming to be elected
by the people-are very anxious that
the committee should confine its
investigations to what occurred on last
election day in this State. What
occurred in this State daring the six
months prior to that election they would
have carefully concealed, because it would
unfold the ''bloody shirt" which the Pic
aptne says Colonel Field, the Attorney
General of the State, will feel bound to
present as evidence of the bloody deeds
that were perpetrated in order that the
Republican majority in this State might
be finally overcome at the polls. Oh, no!
The very Conservative Democrats
returned by the board and those claiming
to be elected by the people-would not
trouble the committee with evidence show
ing how, for six months prior to the cleo
ton, both State and federal laws were out
ragged and the personal safety and
rights OF Republicans imperiled. To do
this would be placing our very conserva-
tive Democrats in the same light before
the congressional committee that con-
fronted and defeated them before the Re-
turning Board. Federal and Sta>kws

THE TWO TRAVELLERS.

William Cullen Bryant contributes q
poem to the Atlantic Monthly with the
above title. The verses are very good for
an old man, and may have been suggested
by the travelling of the author and Mr..
Evarts from the Republican party. One
of the travellers has "withered cheek
and ''silver hair" Two of the verses run
as follows:
loved them; oh, no words can tell
The love that to my friends bore;
We parted with the sad farewell
Of those who part to meet no more.
And I, who face this bitter wind,
And Ger these snowy hillOcks Creep
must end my journey soon and find
frosty couch. frozen sleep"
The question often comes up: Is there
no protection for all old man? Lear, al
though a king, was allowed to wander
about in fearful storm, bare headed,
cursing his daughters; and Mr.. Greeley,
having no keeper. believed he could be-
come President, and, canceling the good
work Of lifetime, died of broken heart
Who will care for Mr.. Bryant? Who will
tie J i'm to his Post and keep him there
whei never the O'Kelleys and McGuAins
ask him to speak for Tammany and
Southern banditti, and against the gov
eminent of the United States?

A PARTISAN COMMENTARY,

The P'cdyune seizes upon the tragical
rencontre between George Paris and
William Weeks, to read us a homily upon
the Kellogg administration. The whole
matter, like everything else in dispute is
RENTED to the careful attention of the
congressional committee, but the appeal
is made with a profusion of smirks and
winks worthy Of sly old Joey Bagstock
himself What connection there can be
between a desperate private quarrel be-
tween two men under the influence of
liquor and the Kellogg administration, we
can not see. When Mr.. Cammack had
the misfortune to kill Nixon, we did not
hear the Picayune ascribe it to any fault
of tho Democratic party or the Boston
Club, both of which claimed the two gen.
tlemen as members. The congressional
committee is not likely to waste much time
in attempting to weave a political error
out of the unfortunate taking off of Weeks
by the hand of an intimate personal
and political associate; and it will be found
upon inquiry that neither of the combat
ants was an appointee of Governor Kel-
logg. Both we're appointed by Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback and confirmed by
the Senate two years ago, so that Gov
ernor Kellogg had no more power over
them than he has over the committee
itself. Both belonged to the Governors
political party, the party of majority of
the committee. If the Picayune had
wished to be particularly emphatic it
would have found no difficulty in ascer-
tanning that the tragedy was a common
tary upon the modern habit of sending
one or two congressional committees to
Louisiana to become befogged in the
murky atmosphere of our politics. For
instance, Messrs. Paris and Weeks were
both Republicans. Messrs. Hoar, Wheeler
and Frye are also Repu blicans Paris |
never killed Weeks until the committee |
same here. It would not be too much of |
a stretch of the imagination, perhaps, for
The Ptcayuae to find that the coming of
The committee in some manner justified
the assassination. To one who holds that
the Colfax massacre was justifable because
the negroes were insolent, or the refusal of
he colored people to vote the Democratic
ticket was sufficient reason for their dis
charge or murder, it would not be diff
,ult to establish connection between the
aomicide Of Sunday morning and almost
ny other event, from the fooleries of
Katie King to the spots on the sun. While
he congressional committee are cogitating
m the Picayune's suggested commentary,
We hope they will send their Imagination
'ut into the country parishes and see what
there is between the teachings
f the Democratic press and the wholesale
laughter of citizens of Louisiana. Some
ogical relationship might be traced in the
after, while the comparison of the Plea
a.ne has but oae leg to rest upon.
