lIundreds o. Political Outrages

IIUndre0n o. Political OutPages
that Never are REPORTED.
The following is an extract of a New
Orleans letter from r young man we'll
known in Cincinnati to mem ber of the
Cincinnati Gazette's staff:
II must tell you something about the
Southern outrage business. As have
been here nearly fifteen months. |
ought to know something. When |
first came remember writing to Gin
cinnati newspaper friend, that no liv-
ing man could reside in the Southern
country and writ. til. truth as a cor
respondent II. doubtless thought
this extravagant, but it il extraordi-
narily true. In New Orleans tom.-
thing can be done, but in this city eve
ry avenue Of real information about
country matters is closed to you, or at
least carefully guarded. The city pa
pers never record what goes on in the
country, except under permission OF
the parish committees. Ii a few hun
dreG negroes are killed, no paper here
would dare to publish syllable of the
affair, unless requested by the parish
committee to insert little article in
justification of the good citizens Of Qua
chita or Natchitoches, and in rrfutation
Of the miserable and cOwardly lies
etc, etc.
These communications are never sent
in unless the Republican leaders have
obtained such information that the
thing cannot be- kept quiet. Every
means is taken, however, to prevent
this. If negroes are talkative,' they
are very soon silenced, and if they
want to leav" the parish they must
either give some good reason for leaving,
or sneak Out at their own risk. Once
in a while you hear of negroes being
hung for rape or incendiarisn; bnt
every sensible man knows the negroes
OF Louisiana are not rapists or incendiar-
lists under til. rule Of terror, and the
real fact is that they We're meddling in
politics. But tie outside worlt really
dC"s not set t- hear one-hundredth part
Of what goes on IN a country intersected
by bay ons and girdled with swamps.
Nor are correspondents in New Orleans
always saie-especially II they succeed
in opening a channel of information
through which they can hear Of what
goes On in the country.
| knew young man here who was
obliged to hide himself here for months,
changing his habitation in the dead OF
tAe night. A number of meG had been
sent down from Opelousas on purpose
to kill him, and they only desisted
from their pursuit on learning that he
had taken u vessel for other shores.
sometimes Republican gets witnesses
down to New Orleans in order that they
tnay testify safely. But this is false
step. The Darsl committee ge:s out
Il warrant for his arrest for some crime
that he never committed, and he is |
dragged up to the country, where he
may he lynclIed at OnGe, or else obliged |
tirst to recant, and, if not lynched af.
terward, to remain under surveillance.
The Yves ,rrn Union is controlled down
here, the country post-oitic-s are in
shrewd hands, if not under the pres
sure, and the general condition Of af-
fairs is not much better than despot-
ism of murderers and thieves, who, un-
like otler despots, do not pretend to
care for the real interests of tle State"
