CARSON CITY, Sept. II


CARSON CITY, Sept. 10, 1876.
EDITORS SENTINEL: Why is it that
the blood-seeking efforts inoculated
into the political writings of the Enter
prise has not called the attention
of the Cameron troops to North
ern Louisiana? The Enterprise can
not hope to be excused by its rank
party leaders on the plea of ignorance
as to the secret workings OF It's leaders
and emissaries in any and every To-
cality of the Union. The Enterprise
cannot confess to be ignorant of the fact
that the Republican party in Louisiana
is divided into quarrelsome factions,
and that the troubles and d~issensions
between these factions are causing fire.
qusnt riots and disgraceful ontrages.
The Enterprise knows that at Shreve.
port. Louisiana, and its surroundings,
there are two Republican factions, n
styled the Harper and Heating, the
other known as the Peoples party;
and also ought to know that on the
Both of last month, while the Peoples
party-one wing of the Republican
party-was holding a convention at
Shreveport, the other wing of the party,
known a. the Harper-Keating. with
all the disgracelul characteristics OF
a violent mob, broke up the
convention, and had it no. been
for the respectable and resceable white
citizens who had no political sympa-
thy with either wing, bloodshed and
murder would have been the result.
Why not shake the bloody shirt?-
these factions are but doing the work
that the threatened invasion Of the
Cameron soldiers babe them do-to
get ur riots to give the appearance for
the necessity and excuse for criminal
bayonets. And why has not the En-.
te,py1se published and commented
with its usual sectional prejudice upon
the effort of one of its brother partisans
in Louisiana, who stood before an
audience at Shreveport on the Sth of
~harrangus, a portion OF which is here
given:
"Stamps, Radical emissary in behalf
of the Packard crew., spoke at the
courthouse to the faithful Harperites
on the evening of the Sth instant, and
flung TO his hearers a few campaign
tire-brands. Among them, as an in
ducement for the white people to join
the Radical party or cease opposing 1t,
was one very strong argument that
appealed to the agricultural and
commercial interests" very strongly.
1t was that, il they did not stop their
ways, they were subject to riots, and
instanced the fac thai under the pres
eIt condition of politics he could in
augurate a riot in two honrs and have
five thousand people killed, and how?
Why, by the simple process of setting
fire to one of our handsome street cor
ner stores, arouse the fire department,
and while everybody was Rushing to
the scene and concentrating there,
four or five other houses would be
burnt down that we hadn't thought of.
| Whether his plan would work or not,
the Internal yells his remarks ELECTED
gave some weight TO the idea"
Now, reader, read without prejudice
what Mr.. Blackburn. editor Of the
| Homer Uiad. writes when writing of
the effort of the speaker Stamps. Mr..
Blackburn is an old line Republican,
was an enthusiastic Union man during
the war, is now, and is an ardent sup
porter of Hayes and Wheeler, and a
present State Senator, but seems to
have too much political honesty to
hoist the entire Republican State ticket
in his paper or support it with his bal
lot. Hear him:
"But we have no hesitation in say
ing, from Il W knowledge of the
tone and temper of the so.called ne
gro "leaders F" OF this State, that if they
had the power they would domineer
over the white race to a degree of OPP
preston and torture only equaled by
tho devilish ingenuity OF the ancient
task masters of the en>laved Jews in
Egypt; and these negro swell heads
and political greasers care no more for
tho honest laboring masses of their race
than a greedy rat cares for the creep
ing things it feeds upon; than a Dig
ger Indian cares for the lizards he de.
YOURS; and 1t strikes us that all white
men who have any respect for their
own race or any real sympathy for the
honest masses of the colored race-any
regards for the demands Of humanity
and civilization Oh any count or ac-
count-should rise up and begin to
prepare TO meet this issue squarely
and properly.
Will the Enterprise over flee from
under the influence of its rascally
leaders and follow in the tread OF the
honest Blackburrs of its party This
is a question many Of the readers of the
Enterprise disagree as to how the fu-
ture will answer.
