THE RADICAL WAR ON NIISSKS.
SEPPH.


Special to the n. Y. Herald
WASHINGTON. Jan. ,, 1877.
RADICAL REPUBLICANS, FEARING FOR LOUIS
lana, TURNING THEIR ATTENTION TO MIS-
sIsSIPPI--PAvING THE WAY FOR THROWING
OUT THE VOTE OF THE STATE.
The Radical Republicans are preparing
for the possibility of their being driven
from possession of the Louisiana electoral
vote by throwing up retrenchments in the
case OF Mississippi They broke ground to-
day by sending the United States Marshal
of the Southern District of Mississippi, Mr.
j. l.. Lake. 70 the Attorney General with a
report OF the condition OF political affairs in
the latter State. Marshal Lake reported
that IA large number of Indictments (ovei
sixty were found by the grand Jury at til
Nuvem Der term Of the court recently closed.
and that almost all the accused parties had
already been arrested and placed under
bonds in the sum of $4,000 each conditioned
for their appearance to answer. Many
others would, it appears, have doubtless
been indicted for the same offences had no.
the term of the court been limited as t.
time The indictments found are based
upon section No. $500, of the Revised
Statutes, which provides:
II two or more persons in any State
or Territory cOnspire TO prevent by force.
intimidation or threat any citizen who is
awfully entitled to vote from giving his
support OF advocacy, III d ieHil manner. TO-
ward or in favor OF the election of any law
fully qualified person as an elector for Pres
ident or Vice President or as a member of
Congress of the United States, they shall be
punished by fine OF not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000, or by imprisonment, with
or without hard labor, hot less than six
months nor more than six years, or by both
such fine and imprisonment.
The persons indicted in Mississippi it is
alleged. are guilty of conspiracy and prt :
venting the peaceful gathering of Republi-
cans in public assemblages for the purpose
of exercising the rights guaranteed by the
section quoted, and it is charged that in sew
eral instances Republican candidates for
electors and members of Congress were pre-
hibited from addressing the people pursuaI
To appointments made. Indictments al
ready found are against residents chiefly of
the districts in which Mr. Lynch. the pres
ent mem Der of Congress. and Judge W. W.
Chisolm were the Republican candidates,
and the evidence ELECTED will doubtless be
used by them in the contests which, it is un-
derstood, they have inaugurated
Marshal Lake expressed it to the Attor-
ney General as his opinion that, with free
and a fair election, Mississippi would have
cast her electoral vote for Hayes and Vince
Ter by at least $4,000 majority. In his opin :
ion the unprecedented o-calIed Democratic
gains in Mississippi were made apparent by
intolerance. social ostracism. intimidation,
fraud and violence. He does not believe
| that the reported Democratic majority oil
of about 5000 is anything like fair ex-
preston of the will of the people of that
State.

MIR. Ruel, the Washington cores
pendent of the n. O. Democrat, gives
the following bit of political gossip:

There is a rumor in Democratic circles
here this morning to the effect that Ffrnan-
do Wood and Ben Hill had quarrel Satnr-
day, in the course Of which Hill strongly
intimated his belief that Hayes would be
lnaugurated.and that large majority of the
Southern people would not be displeased
thereat.
can not as yet find confirmation of this
rumor, but leading Northern Democrat.
whose opinion is always valuable, told me
not ten minutes ago. that he had no doubt
Hill meditated desertion, and was this mo-
ment in correspondence with the enemy.

What Mr.. Hewitt, Chairman of the Ma

is a contest, and should civil war threaten.
and only in case civil war was threatened. |
should prefer a civil to a military contest.
Il would rather appeal to ballots than to
bullets. Not unlike sentiments are express
ed by other Democrats, and in conversation
on the subject Mr.. Lamar said this morning
that he deemed a new election preferable to
the inauguration of two Presidents, or the
attempt to inaugurate two Presidents
