Remember that rcry fire H2th is assem-

is greatly preferable to all
other turnips as stock feed
being harder and more nutritious
than other varieties. In this con-
nection we would suggest a trial of
the old fashioned long coNards as a
crop for stock feed especially milk
cows. Plants may be set out as late
MS first of August, and, on good land !,
will make an immense amount of
nutritious food. A similar plant,
called co'c cabbage, is largely raised as
cattle food in the Jersey Islands and
in Portugal.

THE 1Nr1M1DArous IN LOUISIANA,

THE 1NTIMlOATI0N6 IN LOUISIANA.
The whole Issue III Louisiana turns upon
The question whether the Democrats havo
carried the State, as they allege, by tho MD
OF tho negro vote, secured by fair, lcgal, and
honorable means. This In tho diapntod point
upon whicl, tho whole controversy hinges.
In judging Of tho merits Of this controversy
It is 10 be taken into account that the blacks
Of tho South ara just ns firmly attaohcd to
the Republican party as tho Irish Of tho
North nro ito tho Democratic, and that it
thero werc fair md FREQ election they
would vote TINT ticket on ,nasse, Just a. tho
Irish vote the other ticket. 1Iaye the me-
groes In Louisiana, who ARC Republicans,

m. by tho CENSUS taken lust year the nm
jority Of colorad people amounted to C0,000
or &c, ono, so on tic mere colored limo there
ia n clear majority Of $4,000 or 1900, and,
leaving out Of the estimate nliona and those
who do not vote on the white side, this n,a-
jority would be increased to 10000. Now If
tho Democrats have carried the State they
have either stolen the majority or thoy haye
obtaincd 1t by fair means. Which ia It?
In deciding this question 1t Is to be re-
mombored that tho principal Democratic
maJoritics were obtaincd in the hvo counties
where bulldozing was most successfully
prncticcd. Tint there WAS an uudoubted
Republican minority in these parishes is
shown by reference to the vote of 1871,
whom tho Democrats put forth every pos

carry the State. Tho vote in TINT year,
which was conceded to be fair and full

Persons at the North, in making up opia-
ions as 10 political matters at the South,
mako serious mistake in forming judgments
from q Northern view Of tho subject. Thus
at the North wo have no such thing In poll
tics as the intimidation OF yoters by force,
violence, Or murder. Tho man at the North
who would commit personal violence upon n
rotor to compel him mud othors to vote a
particular ticket, or not to vote, would be-
come in popular estimation criminal of the
meancst dye, and would receive prompt JUS
tice and heavy punishment. There aro no
laws at the North applicable to s,tch a condj-
ton Of atfairs; our laws do not adu,it that
tho people Of any State, county, town, or
precinct will ever be intimidated or coerced
III their political action by forcc, by armed
violence, by murders, assassinations, whip
pings, or by firing their homes, or crlelties
and barbarities on women and children.
At the South, however, these crimes arc
comnaou-they aro general; ind wherever tho
negro vote is largo, or in the majority,
md an attempt is made to enforco it, this
business is al much part Of tho regular elec-
tioneering campaign as arc 1nass-meelings
anil stump-spccches at the North. Consc-
quently, at tho South, the laws take cognfz-
ance OF these violations Of tho right of suf-
fragc and Of free elections, and the laws Of
the three States, whose elections are in con-
troveEsy, hnve created tribunal in each
State, armed with authority, upon proof that

At the election in 1871 it will be observed
that these parishes gave n Republican ma-
jority Of a,8o1. They now give Demo.
cratic majority Of 4,417, which exceeds the
total Democrntio vote Of 1874. How haye
tho Democrats made this gain Of nearly
0 LOCO votes in two years? Was 1t by fair
moans2 bIr. RKpF1EIp, one Of the most
impartial correspondents IN the South who
hears and writos both sides, throws some
Light upon tho processes of converting tho
Republican States In tho South into Demo-
eralic Suites. A Louisiana planter In ono of
theso parishes, with whom ho convorsed,
told him he had had no trouble until tho
campaign commenced. Then the bulldozcrs
rode through his plantation nightly
and fred into the cabins OF his
latorors. For two months before the
election Lis hands had 10 sleep in tic
woods All law was overthrown. Four or
fvo negroes were brutally murdered in
various parts Of the parish to strike the rest
with terror and frightcn them into voting tho
Democratic ticket. lie says: Fright in
tho husy season tho bulldozers would ride
through his plantation throwing down
fences, aud leaving them down, looking for
negroes whom they had driven from their
cabins, and who would hide between the COL
ton rows for protection. Tho terrorism WINS
SO complete that his hands finally slept in
tho woods every night, coming out in tho
