THE CATHOLICS.
The Purpose of Hayes and the American
Alliance.

The following is taken from Repub-
lican tract or pamphlet, published by
the Republican Union Congressional
Committee at Washington city, ad-
dressed to Protestant minister Of this
city:
ssThe legislature of Ohio and New
York, especially their city Legislation,
affords strong proof of the design OF the
Papal hierarchy to use the Democratic
party as the political lever to overthrow
the free school system of the land.
This accomplished, the door is open
for the control OF other institutions in
the future, and, through Il national tri-
umph of the party of which the church
is allied, to n radical change in our
form of government.
HThese possibilities should arouse in
tilligent citizens of all oreeds, whether
Of native or foreign birth, to the danger
that threatens our country if the Ro-
man Catholic element, through the sue
cess of Democracy, should obtain con-
troll of our national affairs. If know
ledge of what has been done in Ger
many through priestism will awaken
our people to the designs of the same
power in the United States, the firm
stand Of Bismarck was not taken an
hou! Ioo sooL' Anat IL may at
tract the attention of every American
citizen, and cause him to labor with
greater fidelity for the party that is
pledged to the maintenance of civil and
religious liberty, the support of the free
schools, and the perfect equality of all
men before the law, is the prayer OF
millions in Europe and America, who
look upon free government as the
young giant that is yet to break the
letters of the worlds's oppressed"

MILITARY DESPOTISM.
[Cincinnati Enuuirer.1

lClnclnnatl Enqulrer.]
There can be no doubt about it that
the outrage letters written by Gov.
Chamberlain and his man Friday, Cor
bin, who claims relationship with
Grants brother-in-law by that name,
We're written and telegraphed to the
Northern Republican organs to affect
the result in the Ohio and Indiana cleo
tons. We have heard of no real dis
turbances of consequence occurring in
South Carolina since the Hamburg
trouble, and the riot the negroes pre-
cipitated in the streets of Charleston a
month ago, when they tried to break
up mass meeting of Democratic col
ored men, unless it was the disturban-
ces occasioned by the negroes them
selves in the rice-felds, where they
struck for no sufficient reason, and by
force prevented those disposed to labor
from engaging at it. Gov. Chamber
lain, a month ago, might as we'll have
undertaken to arrest and imprison Of
tenders, if there were any, rs to-day;
but, when the truth is sifted, it will be
found that he is playing a most despe-
rate game-one unwarranted by the
Constitution and its laws, and which
will ultimately result to his political
disadvantage and disgrace. He waits
till the eve of an important election
and then goes forward, and, backed by
the Administration, commands the
military to arrest unoffending citizens,
and imprisons or balls them as it suits
his august majesty's pleasure, or the
pleasure of one or more corrupt parti-
san judges, who are ever ready to
serve him at his back and call.
What was done in South Carolina
just previous to Tuesday last was done
at the instance of Morton and Chan
der for political effect and for nothing
else. A dispatch to the Enquirer yes
terday informs our readers that hosts of
Federal soldiers are going through
Aiken and Barnwell counties, South
Carolina, and arresting scores of citizens

New ORLEANS, Oct. 81 1876.
TO the People of Louisiana.
The Republican party is now engag-
ed in the desperate policy of perverting
the Judiciary for the purpose of prevent
ing fair, peaceful and free election in
Louisiana. Unoffending citizens are to
be arbitrarily arrested, with the expec-
tation of creating disturbances; and
were no resistance will be offered to
the officers OF the law on the part of the
Democratic-C Conservative citizens, there
is every reason to believe that sham
resistance will be organized. The pur-
pose of the arrests on the eve of the
election is also to intimidate Democrats
and Conservatives, both white and
colored; and the mode of making the
arrests, as we are remined by the ex
perience of the campaign of 1874, is to
be such as will necessarily arouse feel
ings Of indignation, and be susceptible
of stimulating resistance.
It is our duty to foil this neEariOus
invasion of the most sacred rights of an
injured people; and no more effective
way can be resorted to than
1. For the persons against whom war
rants are exhibited to submit to what
ever arrests may be attempted in the
name of the law and.
2. For the people to come forward,
and openly assist to execute whatever
orders of arrests may be produced, and
to take an active part to prevent the
resort to sham resistance to their exc
cution. Measures will be taken to allie
viate the sufferings of the victims Sc
lected for the OCCASION.

parish, the late Col. Garrett, and Col.
ID. Pierson, of Natchitoches, then re-
VIM, and perhaps the
youngest member of the Col.
Persons opposition was as decided as
Taliaferro's, and his speech on the final
vote was no less eloquent than Judge
Taliaferro's protest to which the Re
"knives and pistols were freely exhibit
ted' In the convention the occasion
was regarded as too momentous and
solemn for such exhibitions, as the
writer we'll remembers. Judge ITALIA
ferro was treated with the greatest res
poet, and 80 were his seven dissenting
colleagues.
If the Republican will consult Col.
E@ngham Lawrence, our statements
will be verified. He, now q Republic
can, was then prominent seceder, and
q member of the convention. 1t was
upon his motion, we think, that the
convention ordered each member to be
supplied with a gold pen with which
to write his signature, and upon the
ordinance there is no holder signature
than that Of Birmingham Lawrence. 1t
is written in characters as immense as
those OF John Hancock's signature to
the Declaration of Independence. The
editor Of the Republican might read
the name clear across Camp street. il
Judge Taliaferro raised his voice
against ssthe nefarious and insane poll
cy" of the secessionists, the more So
norous voice of Col. Lawrence was
raised in favor Of that policy, and Col.
Lawrence ia now Treasurer of the Rad
icai Campaign State Committee.

THE SECESSION CONVENTION.

In noticing the death of Judge Talia-
ferro, the New Orleans Republican, re-
ferring to Judge Taliaferro's course as
a member of the Secession convention
of 1861, says:
In this body almost alone, he always
recorded his vote against the schemes
OF the secessionists, and on every occa-
sion raised his voice against their ne
farious and insane policy. Even when
political fanaticism and hatred were ut
1ever heat, he calmly uttered his pro-
test against the final act, predicting
with the tongue of a prophet the long
chapter OF disasters and snfferings and
humtltations which would follow the
deed. He was the oldest member of
the body, and his gray hairs protected
him, perhaps, from the young bloods,
even though knives and pistols were
freely exhibited when the old patriot
was delivering his eloquent appeal to
the sober senses of the members of the
convention. He stubbornly refused
his signature to the final ordinance, and
retired to his country home, powerless
to avert the calamities which followed.
The Republican mfsstates history,
something not uncommon with that
paper when an opportunity is offered
to do justice to all alike. It is correct
In stating Judge Taiiaferro's part in
the proceedings of the Secession con-
Vention, but he was not alone, or even
''almost," in opposition to the orii-
nance Of secession. A very large mi
nority opposed the ordinance up to the
final vote. OF this minority, eight
members, among them Judge Taliafer-
70, voted nay on the finai vote and re-
fused to sign the ordinance; the re-
Mainder thought best to change their
course In favor of secession and make
the Withdrawal unanimous. Among
the eight 40 member from this

s.THE NORTH LOUISIANA RAILROAD

We are little surprised to seq in the
Sparta Times that the people OF Bien-
Vile are likely to make an issue be-
tween Judge Efam and Mr.. Smith can
didates for Congress in the 4th district,
over the so-called North Louisiana rail-
road. A more senseless issue could not
be raised. What is this North Louisi-
ana railroad? The fact that Smith has
been elected President of the company
is in itself a sufficient answer. But do
not our Bienvilie friends know that the
whole thing Is simply a speculative
trick? Among the incorporators are
the names of some good men-placed
there for effect but as a railroad COM
pany the list reminds one of John
Pheonix's Pacific Railroad surveying
party. We understand that this great
enterprise began under the auspices OF
LudeliDg & Associates, (whose railroad
successes are we'll known) as an assault
upon jackson ct ais. who dispossessetl
Ludeiing and company as owners OF
the w., s. & II. Railroad. Smith, OF
Shreveport, and Mr.. Leonard of the
same city, were taken into counsel and
the result was that the domicite of the
company was fixed at Shreveport in
stead of Monroe rs it stood in the origi-
nal bill. When the Company was or
ganized, at Shreveport, there were
about a dozen men present, and prop
erly enough Smith was made President.
Being a man of extensive railroad ex-
perience, of great pecuniary capacity
and politically sound to degree where
doubt is impossible, it cannot be doubt
cyl that Smith will shake even Wall
street and terrify the stock market in
his efforts to build the North Louisiana
railroad. We shall expect to see the
road built, equipped and in full oper-
alton in the next six months, and visit
the moon on the first train.
Our Bienville friends will act wisely
by paying no attention to Smiths
North Louisiana railroad. We have
built several better roads in these col
umns in our day and time, and had no
such powerful aid as Smith, Brewster
and Levisee. There are, to say nothing
of lack of money, certain legal obsta-
cles in Smiths way which cannot be
tunneled, bridged or circumvented.
The company is chartered and has a
paper existence. The idea is good
one, but in its present dress it is farci-
cal and unworthy of serious concern.
And If Judge Elan takes this position
he will be perfectly right.

Election Returns.

We ask our friends in the several
parishes in this portion of the State, to
supply us with the earliest definite in
formation of the result of the election
on the 9TH.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1876-10-28
DAY OF THE ELECTION.

Next Tuesday week the election
takes place. It will be momentous
day for Louisiana, as upon the result
all future hopes of her prosperity de-
pend. There cau be no question that
with four years more of Radical rule in
this State, it will become permanently
q colony OF thieves and negro immi-
grants from other States. In eight
years we have gone through all the
successive steps from plenty and peace
to want and public strife. At last we
have reached bottom, and we must
now go upward or be content with re-
manning at the bottom.
1t Is cheering to see, however, that
the spirit of the people Is not broken
and that they are man to man resolved
to obtain relief; and nothing, in this
direction, Is SO inspiring as the fact that
the work for reform and change, while
It enlists every good mans sympathies,
has aroused no ones passions. We
trust and believe that this same cool,
quiet, earnest feeling will be operative
and survive the excitement of election
day. Our opponents are already en-
deavoring to provoke outbreaks. They
will not scruple to give offense on the
day of the election, In order to afford
pretexts for having the polls of Demo-
cratic precincts or parishes rejected, and
we, therefore, earnestly counsel the
democrats to keep cool, endure wrongs
and bravely look to and wait for the
result.
In addition, let every Democrat, old
and young, go to the polls on the 7th,
and 60 where he can accomplish the
most. There is usually too much apa-
thy, dignity or Stiffness about some OF
our party friends. Some of them have
seemed about IS much concerned in
elections as a denizen of Iceland. Let
them thaw out. Go and give one day
to your country aud your own all
absorbing interests. You need not say
you can do nothing, for you can do ut
least one mans share of talking, watch
ing and trying. That will be some
thing; besides, your indifference, on the
other hand, will do harm. We call
upon even the little boys, as they hope
to be men and free men and have their
mother State a State of which to be
proud, to put their young shoulders to
the wheel, and, like the men they are
to be, help their fathers do their country
aservice. 1t will be something of which
they will be proud hereafter, and the
benefits will be theirs.
We ask the planters to turn all hands
loose, and then turn loose themselves.
Let the merchants close their stores,
and give the clerks one days rest. And
be sure, it will be no day of rest for
them. Few men are so efficient at the
polls as the clerks. Let them have a
chance, and next day double their
wages.
We indulge the hope and are san
goine in 1t, that the day Of the election
will be a glorious one for this State.
Let no occurrence or circumstance arise
TO blast our brilliant prospects. Let the
clubs work necessarily from this on,
and let every Democrat be on duty.
