ACTIVITY OF THE DEMOCRATIC MURDER CLUBS
IN LOUISIANA AND nfIssIssIPPI-REPoRT OF
THE MILITARY COMMANDER AT MONROE,
LA.
Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Times.
WARRINGTON, Oct. 24.-Private and Off
cial intelligence received here shows that
the same system of terrorism that Wade
Hampton and his followers had been prac-
ticing with impunity in South Carolina,
prior to the arrival of United States troops
in that State, prevails in Mississippi and
Louisiana. Dispatched received to-day
state that an armed body, con-
sisting of about five hundred men,
prevented Congressman Lynch, of Missis-
sippi, from addressing Republican meet
ing on Saturday last at Port Gibson. The
hooting, yelling and riotous demonstrations
of the armed mob made lit impossible for
Mr.. Lynch to address those who had assem-
bled to listen to him, and he was forced to
abandon the stand and advise the people to
go home.
Capt. Hale, of the Sixteenth Infantry,
commanding the United States troops at
Monroe, La, makes the following report to
the War DEPARTMENT about affairs in his vi
clnity MATTERS in remote parts of Qua
chita Parish are somewhat unsettled. AL
most daily complaints are made to me by
negroes of being driven from plantations
and from employment, either because they
had attended Republican meetings, or be-
cause Of their refusal to unite with Demo-
cratic clubs. Many OF them complain of
having been treated with personal vio-
lence, and some of having had their cabins
broken open and gun-shots fired into them.
| From careful observation, am induced to
believe that is the determination of the
majority of the white people here, as we'll
as elsewhere in the State, to elect the can
didates of the Democratic State and Parish
tickets at all hazards, and that the success
of their candidates on the national ticket
is to them only matter of secondary i'm
portance."
Capt. Hale also reports that, a short dis
tance from Monroe, two disguised white
men fired upon and instantly killed Prince
johnson, a colored preacher, and seriously
wounded another colored man named Eat
on Longwood At the time of the murder,
johnson was standing on the porch in front
Of his house. with his infant daughter in
his arms, and Longwood was employed in
his field loading seed cotton. Two physi-
clans, residing in the locality Of
the murder, whose services were So
licited for the wounded man, re
yfused to attend him. The road was
I found picketed with armed men, who re-
| fused to permit LoDgwood's brother to visit
1 Monroe to obtain surgical aid. In cOnse-
1 quence of threats made by the mob to do
Nturther violence and murder, Capt. Hale
detailed a force to guard the house of
Longwood. Capt. Hale's reports were trans
mitted through the regular military chan

Compare the bogus 'reform" of Tilden
with the solid work of Bristow. Tilden
made an immense clarlor about canal re-
form, has traded on it for three years, and
the total outcome is one man convicted,
three suits brought, no money recovered to
the State, but over one hundred thousand
dollars spent for investigating commissions
and lawyers fees. Secretary Bristow made
his preparations quietly, and in few
months had dsecured indictments of 40 men,
the conviction of 1873, cause ed twelve others
to fly the country, recovered over half a
million dollars, and had suits pending for
the recovery of three times that amount.
The whole of this work was done at cost
of only S25, 900. Such is the difference De-
tween Tilden reform and the genuine arti-

Special Dispatch to the Neto York Times.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Another very
encouraging sign, which has been very
marked here and elsewhere, during the
past two weeks, is the large number Of
business men and capitalists who are COM
ing out from the Democratic Party and an
nouncing themselves for Hayes and Wheel
or. One of the largest manufacturers in
Buffalo, we'll known as q Democrat, lately
came forward and voluntarily put his name
down TO a liberal subscription to the Re-
publican campaign fund. Business men
say that with the manifest tendencies of
the Democratic Party and the encourage
ment that their success would give to
the lawless element in the South,
they can have no confidence In the
future peace and stability, and conse-
quently no encouragement to invest their
money in business enterprises if the Dem
cratic Party should come into power. A
gentleman in the little town of Olean, Cat
taraugus county, told me that he knew of
$175, 600 lying idle in that village awaiting
the result Of the Presidential election. II
