POl IIIt|AL MURDERS.

The somewhat unexpected fact that
more murders, inanslAughtsrs. etc..
have been committed since the election
than Ia tho same period OF time before
II and during the canvass. has not es=
capped public attention. The status quo,
the two rival governments, have not
caused this=not even the HtpubH.
ear has charged this. and II would DO
only too glad TO do se=fof the same
condition Of affairs seems TO exist In
the neighboring States Of Texas and
Mississippi.
The New York Herald was the lirst TO
discover that during a political cam.
paign In Louisiana, crime, particularly
murder. decreased. It was surprised ut
this. but, instead of putting the true en-
PLANTATION on IL, instead of admitting
| that during such canvass Mt least ono.
half tho population carefully guard and
oontrol their passions and postpone their
anger. knowing well that should they
revenge any insult or injury, ~ they
would certainly do ia ordinary times,
such personal revenge OF theirs would
BIO counted against ctr whole people
instead Of giving this natural explana-
lion Of this improved showing we made.
the HesHld went on to declare that,
while It was ttue that crimes de-
creased. all those that were committed
partoult Of u political character or hue
that II to say. that while there were
only half as many murders as In non.
political times. all those that were COM
II itted were political.
That this was forced explanation
and that all tho Radical theories Of po-
litiral murders In Louisiana were equal.
" false. tho past two months have de-
monsttHted. There have boon more
murders than usual committed, four
men have been called from their homes
ut dead Of night and shot by unknown
parties. and. yet, we have anever seen "a
notice OF ono Of these In Northern |
Radical paper. Murders In Louisiana |
have now no claim for them they have
accomplished NIL that was wanted OF |
them=ts loss OF $4,000 votes for Tilden |
and Nichols.
The past two months have shown that |
there was no carnival OF political muir.
ders In Louisiana during tho late can.
vaHs; that there were no more Of these
then than there always have been In this
State. even since Radical rule has dis.
organized society and made tnoekery |
of the law; that, In fact, the canvass
had tho effect Of making ali our citizens
curb and guard their tempers and
passions.
