HOW THEY WERE DISPOSED OF.

How about the hundreds of white men
that have been dragged down here to psrti-
san judges, packed juries and feed wit
nesses.-Den,0crot.
Well, some were admitted to bail by
Judge Bradley, and afterward turned
loose by the Supreme Court. A great
many never were tried at all, and prob
ably never will be; all were permitted to
return home in safety, and some have been
presented with Winchester rifles and ap-
propriate ammunition by their friends.
None were lynched. In no case was the
safeguard of the sheriff or other officer
violated, and We believe all have been hon
ored by their admiring and sympathizing
friends on arriving home with some such
triumph as was usually accorded a sue
cessful Roman consul on his return from
marauding expedition. That's all we
know about this class of unfortunates.

spectacle Of man put on trial for acts
which, at the worst, can only be oonsid-
cred unbecoming to an officer Of the
United States government. The offenses
complained Of we're personal, not official,
in the commission of which private
persons only were aggrieved. Though
charged with the disbursement of mil
lions of dollars per annum, it has not
even been charged against Belknap that
he has misapplied dollar of public
money. The offense for which he was
tried was sordid and disreputable rather
than criminal. Had he still remained an
officer of the government, there is little
doubt be would have been impeached.
This is shown by the large Republican
vote in favor of such action as the case
stood, as well as by the explanations Of
Senators who voted for acquittal that they
believed the Senate, as a court of i'm
parchment, had no jurisdiction.
Had the Senate established the prece-
dent that an ex-oficer of the government
is liable to impeachment for personal i'm
proprieties several of the members of a
former Democratic Cabinet would be in
great danger. 1t appears from the re-
cords that the public treasury has lost
altogether, in principal and interest, the
immense sum Of five milLo rs of dollars
by one of the shining lights of the great
Tilden and reform party, while it has not
lost dollar by Belknap. The Demo-
cratic ex-official remains unpursued, and
may, for all we know to the contrary, be
invited by the late partner of Tweed to
resume his duties at the head of depart
ment which were inter- upted by the war,
in case Of his own success next November.
The Republican ex-oficial, who did not
get away with enough to stamp the trans
action with responsibility, is arraigned
and disgraced, if not convicted And this
is about the sum of the labors of the
Democratic House in the business of ex-
posing corruption in the government. One
man has been tried by a tribunal which
has voted it had no jurisdiction, and some
ten or dozen "spicy reports have been
prepared for publication, including, we
suppose, that of the subcommittee Oh
Coushatta, which, We are informed, was
written to hand by committee of Red
River White T.iners
The report of congressional investi-
eating committee is proverbIally b'utum
fulmen, without weight, influence, credit
or effect. These reports are generally
understood to be aggrega tons OF local
scandal, carefully prepared by partisans
and stamped with the seniorags of Con-
gress by q committee whose members
have been sent to make case of some
kind, and who are generally glad enough
to find it made for them. After more
than eight months of noisy defamation
and the expenditure of several millions of
public money, We have as result of the
congressional labors one man accused and
acquitted, and dozen "spicy reports
prepared, in which the regulations Of
honest men are assailed, but no chance
given for defense.

be death to Governor Kellogg and war
upon colored men. The attempt to over
throw the State government, which fol-
lowed within two months of the meeting
of the convention, and the numerous
murders of colored men by White League
bulldozers throughout the State, shows
with what vigor the campaign was prose-
cuted, and what was accomplished. Men
in that convention openly boosted that the
Governor of the State could not maintain
himself in Office except by the aid of
United States troops The statement went
abroad and greatly injured the reputation
of the State.
The new tactics are infinitely better.
The leaders who lead to blood and in
cessant turmoil have been invited to take
back seats. Those who had no mission,
seemingly, but to stir up strife, have been
invited to step down and out. There
may be no heart in the new movement
no sincerity in the new platform, but it
makes show of decency, and we claim
this forced step forward as Republican
victory, an endorsement OF progressive
Republican principles.
Instead of Tooley street preamble Of
eve, the white people of Louisiana"
there is the more modest:
We, the representatives of the Demo
rtr nT he SfoS Nf
Louisiana, in convention assembled, do
hereby declare administrative and political
reform to be the paramount issue in the
coming general election.
Instead of making it a political duty to
shoot Governor to crafty the ambition
of a pretender the watchword is reform.
Instead of proposed shotgun campaign
there is the declaration;
We hereby proclaim that it is our desire
and fixed purpose under any and every
prOvocarion to have fair and peaceabie
election; but we demand and will Insis:
that there shall be no violence or intimida-
ton exercised toward such of our cOiOred
fellow-citizens as may wish to cooperate
with US for the redemption Of the State
from misrule.
The platform speaks fair, but the ears
of the Democratic ass will come out
through the parish organizations. Take
away from the Democrat his shotgun, and
he becomes as weak as Samson with his
head shaved. Show him that he must
not kill niger, and he thinks he might
as we'll be a Republican at once. Tell
hin, tbat fha constitutional amendments
are binding, and he feels as if he had
gone back on his war record. Tell him
that colored children must be educated,
and he can not see why he is better than
a carpet-bagger. The new tactics bother
the real Democrat, but he falls in line,
being assured that if Tilden gets to be
President the good old numbering, ostra-
cism, White League raiding bulldozing
and hell-raising times will be restored
and go on as usual.

RELKNAp'S ACOUITTAL.

The action of the Senate in acauitting
the late Secretary of War is doubtless a
cause Of rejoicing for Jake Thompson and
any other member Of Buchanan's Cabinet
who may chance to be yet alive. 1t is,
moreover, a hint to th. Democratic House
that the party spies have been on wrong
scent. as shown in the ia ct that the only
game they brought to bay was exempt
from their annoyance. Senat. 'rs Paddock
and Eaton voted against conv. iction; all
the other Democratic Senators v 10 were
present voted for it, save Jones, of florl'
da, who refused to vote at all.

personal vindictiveness" was intended
in our remarks about that bogus dispatch
from Fort Leavenworth. At the same
time, it is quite probable that not only
our neighbor, but all other opposition
papers would endeavor to turn such
disaster as the defeat of Crook, with the
loss of three hundred troops, to account
for the good Of their party. As humane
men, the editors would doubtless regret
the loss of life, but as politicians, enlisted
in sinking cause, they would not let
any good opportunity escape to abuse the

do not attribute it to personal vindic-

political cause. 1t is our aim to be as i'm.

A DISTINGUISHED CONVERT.

l. A correspondent has noticed the extra
ordinary conversion of Mr.. McEnery to
the truths Of Republican doctrine. The
proof of this allegation consists in his
having accepted nomination as elector
upon the Baton Rouge platform, with the
| fact that the doctrine which he thereby
UNDERWRITERS, accepts Republican princi-
pies in every essential particular.
l. 1t recognizes the amendments ex-
tending political rights to the colored peo-
pie, pledges the Democracy to protect
| such citizens in such rights, and asks
| their vote and cooperation.
2. Pledges the party to the payment of
| all legal State obligations.
3. Guarantees free and fair election.
So, we see that Mr.. McEnery, who had
expressed in the last canvass opinions
| of direct hostility to negro political equal
ity, with the distinct claim that the whites
should conduct the government, now alters
| at once his tone and accommodates his
doctrines to the changed convictions Of
his party. He, however, proclaims war
of aggression, and insists upon driving
every carpet-bagger and sca!awas from
| tbs State Like most new converts, Mr..
McEnery is very intolerant to those who
| have come to exactly the same conclusions
some time before the light Of conviction
flashed upon his own path.
The carpet-bagger must have now been
resident voter, property holder and
business man for many years. He
would have belonged in California or
Montana to the Oldest inhabitants It
would be very hard to drive him ''from
power aud out Of the State" For what
is this warning to immigrants? Because
this carpet-bagger has maintained for
years past the doctrines to which Mr.
McEnery has been so recently converted.
The Southern citizen who has adopted
some years since the present opinions OF
Mr.. McEnery is to be likewise exiled from
the State-is to experience the same fate.
This, it may be remarked, may be some
what difficult, as most of these men have
the same ability to maintain themselves
as Mr.. Mac and the overseers. Why,
however, have these men forfeited all
rights Of citizenship Are they born
bonded slaves Of the Democracy? Shall
they forfeit the right of opinion and
Of residence for having come to the same
conclusion with their masters? Do they
deserve for the offense Of having deemed
social and sectional peace better than per-
sistent war, this personal denunciation
and deprivation? We may suppose case,
like that Of the late Representative Pier
son, in which man convinced that duty
required him TO resist the invasion of the
South. He reported to the recruiting Off
Ger, volunteered in the Confederate SER
vice, stood to his gun and flag until the
Confederate government abdicated and
its army surrendered, the States and citi-
zens accepted amnesty, took the renewed
oath of allegiance, and adopted into the
State constitution and laws the amended
constitution. Should we not credit such
a man with courage and constancy? Has
hs not earned an honorable discharge
from those obligations which even Mr..

McEnery himself has condescended
to accept2 Or shall we believe
that such men belong to the Demo-
cratic leaders for life and posterity-
that they must look to those masters for
their political orders-that just as they
are obedient they receive commentator,
and as they exercise the right of opinion
they expose themselves to the penalty of
being denounced as criminals and ex-
PEELED from the State Of their nativity or
residence? It would really seem that
when men subject to the pains and dis
abilities of civil war accept its amnesty
and adopt its decision of principles, they
should be somewhat indulgent of those
who have only done the same thing. It
is curious specimen of chivalry to kneel
at the feet Of the conqueror and after
laying down the sword of resistance to
accept unconditional pardon, seize the
restored sword and hew and hack away at
the associates who have accepted the same
act of grace, ard but exercise the same
right of opinion.
The White League candidates for the
nomination of Governor should accept
their reputation by the men of COM
promise and of business as condemna-
ton Of White Leaguery. They should
admit their own acceptance of the Repub-
Hcan platform of Baton Rouge as a new
amnesty for the White Leaguers, but we
can not admit that such spared nonu-
ments of Republican and Conservative
mercy have any right to drive people
out of the State for having anticipated
BY some years or months the very
convictions upon which A1r. Nc
Emery claims the right of expulsion
from their homes, property and
families. The most distinguished convert
in sacred history had been, like our White
League leader, violent prosecutor of
those who differed with him. He was on
his way to Damascus, breathing out
threatenings and slaughter against those
recreant Hebrews who accepted the plat
form of Calvary, when the conviction of
his error came upon him. Do We find
that he imme diately resorted to the
scourge and the ak against those who lad
been of his then way Of thinking some
time before? Not at ali. He was most
patient and forbearing toward those who
differed with him, and besought them to
turn from their vanities and unite with
him in the work Of reconciliation and
grace. Such does not appear to be the e1-
ample in spirit of the Republican convert.
He rather resembles the zealot who
smote of the ear of the high priests
servant, as proof Of the sincerity with
which he had himself accepted the am
nesty Of peace and good will. 1t is,
therefore, to be hoped that the distin-
guished White League convert to Re.
publican doctrine will grant an indul-
gence to those who having once enter
tanned the same opinions with himself,
have come, like himself, to acknowledge
that they were erroneous or ine1pedient.
Let Us, then, have amnesty on the Baton
platform, and let the decree of death and
exile against the earlier Southern converts
to those doctrines be revoked
