discussed. but nothing was done, tho matter
remaining in the hands of the Attorney Gene
raj and his marshals.
Such is the purport Of the dispatches sent
over the country in relation to yesterdays meet
ing OF the Cabinet, and dispatches of similar
imp:r: have been furnished the press OF the
North after almost every meeting Of the Cabinet
since the commencement of the political con-
test now in progress 10 most OF the States OF the
Uoion. Their intent s obvious, but it would
be facilitated greatly if the northern public, the
material upon which they era intended to ope-
rate, were supplied with the names OF the authors
of these reports. and the important element OF
authenticity be thus added to them. Names
are GO essential to the credibity Of a report as
they arc to the currency of bank note, and
thtic absence from the reports referred to
is, conse quently, almost >fatal-that Is With
unpre judiosd people-both to the credenco OF
the reports aud to the SUCCESS OF the object Tor
which they are consocted. Tho assertion that
tho names ara withheld solely for the purpose
of preserving the authors from the great danger

ing the white people Of the whole State Of
Louisiana with Intimidation, aud he yet sur
wives to hold lucrative Office and run for Con"
gress; and the names Of the authors ofnumerous
other previous southern outrage" reports have
been published with entire impunlty to those
whose imagination created them. The authors
arc not disturbed but the mere publication OF
theic names is sufficient to disoredit any state
ment that may appear over their signatures,
ADD that is the true reason why the names OF
the authors of the few such reports as are really
sent and carried to Washington are with
held. The vast majority Of these reports are
c)noeived, IS is we'll known. 10 the rooms OF
the republican executive committee 10 Wash

The best thing connected with these reports is
tho almost certainty that they will cease entire.

which they are written and circulated through

no further uso for them the impure fountains
from which they have been fl>wng in such gu

will dry up even more suddenly than they
