preceding and pending the late political canvass
In II Felicana, Morehouse. and Ouachita par
lshes In Louisiana, the three parishes, or cOun-
ties. IN which 1t was alleged thar the bull
d gers % committed the most OF their acts Of
intimidation. That an organization known a.
bulldozers existed IN the first named two
parishes Is undoubtedly true. In East Fellciana
the bulidOzers acted as regulators, OF AS Vigil
lance committee. for the punishment of thieves
and other offenders against society In the alb
sence OF auy proper administration OF justice by
the constituted authorities; but they had no
political ends In view. aud, In fact their leader
was Republican. The Democrats In their
primary meetings condemned the acts II TINS
irresponsible BODY, which disbaudcd long before
the election. Ia Morehouse parish the bull
dozers were composed Of young men who rode
through the country at night for the pur pose OF
terrifying the negroes. but they committed no
acts OF violence save in a single instance. where
a coiored man was struck blow in tho face
with a pistol. These nisht-riders were dis
countenanced by the substantial Conservatives,
who comprised four-nfths " the property hold
ers IN the parish, and who went to work so ef
fectually to preserve the peace, and 20 afford
protection to the colored people, that BULLDOG.
ing was summary stopped. and the 9 nvass
was thereafter conducted as quietly and peacea-
bly, as II was IN any county Ia New England. In
both Of these parishes the negroes had secret
armed organizations formed solely for political
PURPOSES. la Ouacbita the turbulence Of riot

defence and retaliation on the part Of the Con

Tho recent elevation Of D1snAE1r to tho

His career has been peculiarly aggressive,
and marked by radical changes Of policy and
opinion, hut he always continued upon tho
Tory Bido, aud at last reached tho unchal-
lcnged position Of leador Of tho great Tory
party, and led tito victory over his old au-
tagonist, GLADSTONE. For three yoars his
parliamentary skill and ability hayo kept
that party in power, but tho inccssant and
arduous labors incumbent on tho position
hayo ut last broken him down. Lie ia IN old

skill and executive ability, however,

portant time, when tho relations botwoen
