BARRETT NON EST.
He Fails to Appear to Answer the Charge
Of Attempting 10 RrIhe Justice Eynns.

Saturday morning. about half-past /
o'clock, the case of the State against
Barrett indicted for attempt to bribe
Justice Evans, was called in the Supe-
rior Criminal Court. 1t was known,
however, long before the case was
called, that Barrett would not appear.
Judge Steele, under the circumstances,
ordered that his bail be forfeited.
The whereabouts Of Barrett are known
to only few persons, and as the law
grants ten days grace within which to
appear his bondsman need entertain
no apprehension as to his future turn
ing up. Norton and Major Ryan were
both in court. and seemed quite anxious
when they found that Barrett had made
up his mind to keep away.
There are some strange and astound-
ing revelations promised when the case
comes up, which will be substantiated
by documentary evidence now in safe
hands

The appointment OF John Don Came
ron, tho son of old Simon, the Pennsyl-
vania corruptionist to be Secretary OF
War. was part Of a bargain by which
the Camerons are to give the Pcnnsyl-
yania delegation in the Cincinnati Con
vention to Conkling. OF this scandal
GUS appointment the New York Tribune
says:
!. Donald Cameron This is nomi
nation of which il is difficult TO speak
with patience. Mr.. Don Cameron has
never rendered any public service which
entities him to be advanced to one OF
Offices in the nation. His appearance in
public has been only as a managing and
bargaining politician, a packer of con
yentions, 4 manipulator Of rings. But
his name is known all over the United
States. He is known as the son and
heir OF a man who during a long and
dishonorable life has made corruption
the business Of his existence, who has
bought Office at the cost of disgrace.
brought reproach upon every cause to
which he has attached himself, and
made the politics OF hts own State
kissing and scorn to all the world And
rs Simon Cameron grows old in iniquity,
it is notorious that he brings forward
Don Cameron as his representative and
successor. Don has all the business
shrewdness which distinguishes the
family, and in his connection with the
Mackey ring he has developed q capaci-
ty for intrigue and watchfulness over
the main chance which must warm the
cookies Of the old mans heart.

Secor Robesop, when he became
Secretary Of War was poor man. but

shows that 10 one month he deposited

with his banker. eighty thousand dol
lass. That little story about the loaves
and fishes after all does not seem to
have been such wonderful affair. Our

Capt. Jno. Cowden. who has been long
working TO organize company to
build deep channel to the sea by
means Of n ship canal through Barata-
ria Bay. leaves for Memphis this after
noon. Capt. Cowden is firmly impressed
and has convinced many other practical
mon Of the feasibility Of his enterprise,
and we do not hesitate TO say that 1t is
deserving Of the greatest consideration,
A number Of staunch men in New Or
Jeans have taken stock in the enterprise,
and Capt. Cowden expresses himself
confident Of obtaining a very large sub
scription to the stock in Memphis. The
enterprise appeals to the inhabitants
of the whole Mississippi Valley.

When the Governor Of the State be-
comes party to, nay. the head OF
such proceedings rs this. and sends n
rullian like Hugh J. Campbell with an
armed force to seize upon one OF the
State courts. drive off the presiding
Judge and usurp the judicial functions,
the country cannot longer be ut u loss
to account for the discomfort which pre-
walls throughout Louisiana. nor for the
laxity Of the law and its corrupt admin
istration. nor for the violence and law
Ipssness which prevail in every parish.
Kellogg and his party have sought for
years to fix the responsibility for the
laxity Of law in Louisiana upon the
white people Of the State. The respon-
sibility rests. and rests entirely, upon
Kellogg, Warmoth. and their party Of
thieves. adventurers and rufIians.
We invite the attention Of the country
to four facts which stand out lumin-
ouslv in the scandalous record Of kel-
logg's administration. First Kellogg
was defeated for the Governorship by
the votes Of the people. and he was
made Governor by the foulest act that
ever disgraced tho American judiciary.
and by the lawless power of Federal
bayonets Secondly: In tho first year
ot Kel,oge's administration the SuRe-
rior District Court was organized to Te-
gitimate all the evil and lawless deeds
and measures Of that administration.
Thirdly: In 1874 tho legally elected
Legislature was dispersed by Gcu. DE
Trobriand. q Federal general. in pre-
sencc of band Of hired rutfians armed
to the teeth. headed by Hugh J. Camp
bell. and eager to fire upon the repre-
sentatives of the people, and, fourthly
at the instigation Of Kellogg this same
bully, Campbell. Friday. on tho eve of
u political campaign, attempted
to seize by force an important
court with view of using it for parti-
san purposes. Whence springs lawless-
ness and violence in Louisiana
