We regard the New Orleans Pacific
enterprise IS one of inesl Unable value
to New Orleans, and one consequently
which should receive the most liberal
aid and support from our people. But
we have never believed in the principle
apon which 1t Is proposed to impose
this tax, and, therefore, we cannot give
1t our support. The Supreme Court,
however. has decided. and the decision
impresses us as sound and unassailable,
that the city authorities. under the act OF
the Legislature. are bound to order and
hold the election, and the Indications
are that the advocates OF the tax are
largely in the majority, and that the
vote will be In favor Of it. The decision
Of the court did not touch the legality
or constitutionality of the tax, which Is
still an open question

THE KEMpER COUNTY HORROR.

The shameful story Of blood which
comes to us from Kemper county. Mis-
sissippi, Is one of the most shocking and
brutal OF the age. John W. Gully, a
prominent citizen of that county, was
recently assassinated by an unknown
hand. A few days since two negroes
made affidavit that Deni. Rush, a white
man, perpetrated the murder, and that
Judge Chisholm, Republican candidate
for Congress in the Third District oil
Mississippi in the last election, his son,
and three men, named Gilmore, Ro-
senbaum and Hopper, all white Radi-
Gals, instigated Rush to commit the
horrible crime. On the strength Of the
affidavits Of the negroes it appears that
Chisholm and his son were arrested and
imprisoned In the town Of De Kalb, and
that Mrs. Chisholm and her daughter
insisted on sharing their imprisonment.
Judge Chisholm, while In prison, the
telegraph tells us, sent to Scooba Tor
Gilmer, one OF the accused parties, and
for whom a warrant had been issued.
Gilmer obeyed the summons, and on
his arrival in De Kalb was arrested by
the authorities. But just as he arrived
at the jail, In charge Of the officers oil
the law, he was set upon by an infuria-
ted mob and killed outright. The iailel
was then overpowered and the mob
attacked Chisholm and his son In the
Jail, mortally wounding the first and
numbering the other on the spot. Miss
Chisholm, in defending her father and
brother, shot and killed DR.. Rosser
Mrs. Chieh ohm severely wounded young
Gully, the son of the man murdered by
Rush at the instigatien Of the CHS
holms; Miss Chisholm, in the firing. was
severely wounded, and finally the mob
seized and carried Rosenbaum and Hop
per into the woods to extort a confession
from them. and the telegraph tells us
| it liz believed there hung them.
This is the horrible and revolving
story as told In the press dispatches
yesterday morning. Ii 1t Is true as
told, 1t IL disgrace to civilization and
there il no punishment known to the
law too severe to be visited upon the
lawlees and violent men whose fierce
and vindictive passions have led them
to stain their hands with blood and
blacken the reputation of their county
with tale OF murder which will &C
ringing through the whole land.
The story, however, does not look
pie nsible, and we should not be sur
priled IL. when the whole truth Is told
it will wear quite different aspect.

the streets. and some idea from all OF
these facts ran be formed Of the terrip.e
condition Of the country.
The General Government alone eau
furnish the immediate and required re-
lief, and ell Of It's powers should pc ex-
ereised to arrest the downward career
in which we have been travelling 80
rapidly, It should be the pride. as well
az duty. Of every Congressman to nerve
his arm IN the battle for the suffering
people and to spare no exertion In
rescuina them from the vortex that
threatens TO engulph them.
There are number Of great works OF
national Importance which, were the
Federal Government to give them its
fostering care. would prove national
blessings. TO us Of the South they would
be Of inestimable value and furnish to
us the means Of recuperating our wasted
resources. In the advocacy OF these
works we can all unite,. regardless OF
party or political distinctions. The
question Of aiding these works is
one which affects simply the material
interests of the country; hence, Demo
Gratis and Republicans can act harmo-
niously together In securing their adop-
ton. IL we were disposed to be senti-
mental we might say that In this way
local anirnosities might be made to
yield to q fraternity Of interests that
would weld into common brotherhood
q nation whose grandeur and prosperity
would attract the envy and admiration
OF the world. But the question Is q
practical one, and we think 1t Is high
time that Southern men Ia Congress
should make their influence and num-
bers felt, and demand for the South q
fair share Of the large appropriations
which 1t has been the policy OF Con
gress to make for works OF internal i'm
proyement throughout the Union.

Some fiendish compositor. by emitting
several lines Of the manuscript OF our
article on House bill No. 303, the proof
of which we had no opportunity to read
made us say that one Of the provisions
Of that bill was as follows: That the
foregoing provisions shall apply also to
the taxes of the year 1875, save that the
special interest tax for said year shall
first be paid by every person seeking to
avail himself Of these provisions.
What we meant to say and did write,
but what the (. c. aforesaid apparently
resolved that we should not say, was
That the foregoing provisions shall ap-
ply also to the taxes Of the year 1876,
save that the special interest tax for
said year shall be paid IN cash, and
there is general prouiso aChich require
that the tares of the years 1876 and 1877
shall first be paid, etc. In another part
Of the same article brotherf. c. makes
us speak Of certificates Of Indebtedness

gagged In organizing the negro vote
against the whites.
There are very few of the leaders of
the Radical party, nearly all OF whom
are engaged In this new enterprise. who,
If they were vigorously prosecuted be
fore the courts, would not land In the
penitentiary, and the best and surest
way to settle the negro question, I'M
Louisiana politics at least, would
be to institute prosecutions against
these men. II the men who
were concerned in the devilment OF
the last eight years were brought to
Justice, our social atmosphere would be
purified, and our politics would be made
cleaner.
But while these men are left at large
to follow their nefarious vocation as pro-
fessional politicians and conspirators,
the "negro question" cannot be said to
be settled. Before the negro can be
converted into safe and useful citizen
he must be first emancipated from the
influence Of the unprincipled office
holders, office seekers and public rob-
bers who have controlled him under
the carpet-bag era, and then he must
be instructed by his white fellow eiti-
zens In at least the primary moral prin-
ciples OF politics.
We may rest assured the negro will
never fully assume a useful and
independent position In our poll
tics until the men who have
abused his confidence to rob the State
shall have been hunted down by the
law and brought to Justice; and this is
the best work our authorities can
engage in during the next twelve or
eighteen months.
