The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-08-17

A few days ago the Republican pub
lisht I'd tissue Of lies about outrages
PERI ,etrated In the parish OF Tangipahoa
by democrats on Radicals. Judge Craig.
a prominent and well-known citizen OF
that parish, happened to visit the city
day or 80 subsequent to the Republicans
publication. and he called on us TO say,
posi- lively, authorizing us to use his
name as authority, that the publication
was false from beginning to end, and
had not even foundation Of fact. The
Rel, ublicnr, thus convicted OF q lie, has
nev,.r had the hardihood even TO at
Tempt to maintain its assertion. The
falAehood had gone forth to the
world; the contradiction could never
overtake it.; the Infamous purpose for
which IL was told and published was ac-
conlplished, and the Republican, took
the kickipgs we gave 1t, skunk away
from its nasty mess, rs q sneaking cur
slin.ks away from his feast OF carrion
when chunched, licking his chops and
Watching for a chance to return. This
morning the Republican again sneaks
up to its dirty food, and has o column
full of lies about the whites Of st. Helena
and Livingston parishes. We venture
to say that both stories, Jike that In
relation to Tangipatoa, arc baseless
falsehoods. The Republican says Its
intelligence Is from reliable CORES
pondsnts. We all happen to know what
sort Of correspondents the KepsAblicd''
calls reliable" Dirty fellows hired In
the parishes, or sent there, to manu-
facture lies OF this sort fellows utterly
destitute OF truth or honor; men as
shameless as the editor OF the Kepubti-
can himself.
If any respectable man gave this
Information, let the public know who
he Is. We will not accept the Rtpub
lica,fs certificate Of his character, anC
we protest against this Wholesale Sian
der OF our fellow citizens by anOny
NOUS aud irresponsible correspondents
through the columns OF a paper which
Is only distinguished for It's pertinadtJ
In slander, and It's courage In lying.

A MILITARY ORDER.

The Oracle OF the White House has
spoken through the new Malignant OF
the War Department, Don Comeron, to
wit and Gen. Sherman, Commander OF
the Army, Is instructed to hold his
troops in readiness throughout the
South for the ostensible purpose OF pro-
tecting all persons, without distinction
of lace, color or political opinion, In the
exercise Of their right to vote. The real
purpose is, however, apparent. 1t Is to
encourage such frauds as have made
Radical rule synonymous with bayonet
rule throughout the South. and to hide
them, as far as possible, uuder cover OF
a pretended desire to punish the authors
OF Southern outrages.
The strategists Of the Radical party
already begin to see the hand writing
on the wall They discover that several
of the Southern States have escaped
them, but are determined that Louis
lana, South Carolina and, IL possible,
Mississippi shall not escape. a Isl
The pretext for issuing this new mill
tary order Is found in the resolution,
which was introduced by Mr.. Lord, OF
New York, and passed the House oil
Representatives on the 10th inst. This
resolution recognizes the propriety and
authority Of the Fifteenth Amendment,
and declares that all attempts by force,
| fraud, terror. intimidation or otherwise
to prevent free exercise OF the right OF
suffrage should meet with certain con,
dign and efYectual punishment.
The object of the Democratic House,
which passed the preamble by 12l to 81,
and the resolution by 174 to 2, was to
place on record its condemnation OF
fraud, violence and Intimidation, such
as have been practlced by the bayonet
governments OF the South since the
commencement Of Grants rule, and
| provoked, In some instances. the
clasking consequences of retaliation.
But a far seeing statecraft could have
peroeived that the resolution would be
the occasion Of military Intervention In
our State elections, for 1t is clear that
Grant, Cameron g. Co. would rather see
ten thousand Clusters killed than fall to
carry out their malignant purpose In
the few Southern States they still hope
to carry.
With such an utterance on the part oi
the Democrats in Congress, and the
strongly expressed declarations OF our
national and State conventions In favor
OF a full, free and fair election, the or
der to hold the Federal troops In readi-
ness to prevent intimidation and punish
fraud In our Forthcoming elections, Is az
outrage against the people OF the few
Southern States upon whom 1t bears
and an insult to the Conservative De
moctacv Of the entire Union.

AcTJONi ACTION ACTION ~
Wbat Il Thought VI the Political situa-



The utmost activity Is urged upon the
public spirited men Of the Democratic
Conservative party by those who have
been watching the operations or the
Radicals. It seems that the party OF
plunder has abandoned the idea oil
carving the election through the mani
puations OF the Returning Board, ana
will resort entirely to fraud at the polls
for success. They have deeply laid
schemes to accomplish their ends which
are revealing themselves daily. At all
events, Notwithstanding their apparent
quiet they are working and
WILL DIE HARD.
Among the frauds contemplated by
them Is the re-registration in 1876 OF
large numbers of the negroes who were
registered in 1874, and for that purpose
they have had the Metropolitan
policemen engaged for some time past
In canvassing the wards OF this city.
This will necessitate a thorough can
vass OF the wards also by the Demo
Gratis, as was done so effectually In 1874.
ACTION, ACTION.
IL also Immediately requested oil the
Parish Committee, at an early meeting,
to secure the necessary representation,
by State Supervisors, at the various
registration Offices of the city; and, ow-
ing to the fact that the new State Cen
trail Committee will not meet until the
) Goth instant. five days only before
the opening of the registration Offices
throughout the SOate. some means
should be adopted to Immediately OBJ
tain the names or suitable persons In
the country parishes to be offered as
representatives on the part or the Dem
ocratic and Conservative party.
BY dint of the determination OF the
late Parish Committee, such representa-
ton was obtained from Kellogg at
the last election. notwithstanding
the high moral ground that he
took at first to refuse 1t, by claim
ing that it was the right OF the
Radical party to control the registra,,
ton. At the last election, in each ward
the Democrats were represented by
either supervisor or clerk, and thus
much of the fraud contemplated by the
Radicals was frustrated.

ting, as this does, nine -tenths Of the
sugar brought here. It was clsimed by
these agitators and sensational lists-~and
this was the only point. worthy Of any
attention, made by them--that by trea-
ties made with Spain and other ooun-
tries, these latter were guaranteed the
most advantageous terms granted by
the United States to any other country.
1t was agreed that Spain might. under
this article, claim the advantages grant
ed Hawaii, and demand the admission
Of Cuban sugar, duty free, into this
country. ra..s8 4 ataJ -e1gl &
The truth is far otherwise. The United
States has pledged Its honor most
sacredly in Its very Constitution to dis
criminate against slave-raised or Cuban
sugar The House Of Representatives
has declared, q dozen times over, that
in abolishing slavery In the South. and
in thereby crippling the sugar interests
of this State, the Government had
bound and guaranteed us q protection
against this slave-raised sugar; and nc
party, Radical or otherwise, would dare
violate 80 just a principle, so often and
80 loudly enunciated.
Even were it not pledge, the
interest Of the North and West would
assure us of sufficient protection
The United States must have a revenue
and--as It has no land tax like other
COVE varnments--must depend for this on
duties. Sugar is the largest import in
this country, yields the most certain rev
enue 8, and no citizen Of the North, East
or West would think OF abolishing this
duty on sugar, with which they have
built their harbors and Pacific railroads
and when. they would have, In de
fault Of it, to pay the expenses
OF the Government out OF thei
own pockets: No; sugar will always b
prot,,cted, not for the especial benefit o
Loui siana, but for the whole Union-th'
coun try is pledged to this. 1t is all tn
better for us that the question
national rather than local.

sufficient to determine the direction Of

At the last election. . Cuban who hsd

Of effective Interference, and has never
hesitated to turn against the patriotic
islanders whenever policy or cowardice
demanded an exhibition Of baseness. II
has even permitted the American flag
to be insulted, and has preferred
crawling out Of the scrape by means
OF u despioable subterfuge, to

as d. sister republic, to give them ai

THE OUTRAGE MILL.

It Is reported that Dibble has an
nounced that the First Ward Radical
Club will parade on Saturday next, and
the Saturday following. There would
be nothing remarkable In the announce
ment except in the novelty Of the occur
renee, for the Radicals have not paraded
in night professions for several years
past but Dibble adds, 1t is said, that he
will see who is going to interfere
: with him, or words to that effect.
As is we'll known, Radical process
sions have never been interfered with
in New Orleans, unless, emboldened by
organization and numbers, they have
. manifested violence towards the lockers
on in the streets; the remark OF Dibble
appears, also, to have been unpro-
voked 1t is just to conclude that this
once openly expressed negro hater
wishes to convey a threat by his re-
marks, and create feeling against the
negroes that might provoke another Of
the "outrages" which have so long been
used by the Radicals to enlist the sym
pathies OF the Northern people in their
favor.
But Dibble is being closely watched,
and the schemes, like the Coushatta and
other affairs of a similar kind, which
have been concocted in the Custom
house building, will fall through, AS it
is the intention on the nights in ques-
tion. il necessary. TO provide body
guard of white men for the negroes of
ithe First Ward in order that they may
parade and cheer for their chosen can
I didates with utmost security from harm.
; 1t is just possible that the Custom
house scoundrels may pay a few men to
get up a disturbance in the interest of
oetheir party, but any attempt to do 80
g will be at the peril Of the hired muT-
lnierers.

The Assistant Attorney General.
The following letter has been ad
dressed to Mr.. Dibble by Antoine:

Fl August IL. 1876.
Ion. H. G. Dibble Assistant Attorney General ::
(Si--Hon A. T. Field having obtained leave of
sence on account of sickness, you are hereby
thorized and requested to represent the State
an matters now pending, as provided for in
:. s. . of Act IS. approved March 8. 1874.
G. G. ANTOINE.
! This finally settles the question of
wlo is Assistant Attorney General.
Dbble was removed by Kellogg and
5iaughn appointed in his place. Va
ious suits were brought, pro and con,
md quite lively contest ensued for the
Ice. When the matter was compro-
Ased it was proposed that Antoine
.hould re-appoint Dibble. 1t was finally
pncluded to address Dibble a letter re-
bgnizing him as Assistant Attorney
Ieneral and thus settle the matter with
ut any re-appointment to the office.
Iwould seem that Kellogg's removal Is
t&ount for nothing.
