A Bit Of History.

The Kinds county Gazette is mistaken
when it charges Senator Beck of Ken
lucky with favoring the paying the ex-
penses of the visiting statesmen" who
assisted the returning board scroundrels
and desperadoes In defrauding the peo-
pie of Louisiana of their votes and
counting out Tilden and counting IN
HAYES. It was entirely another set of
visiting statesmen" whose expenses it
was proposed should be paid. For
some weeks after Hayes was Inaugural
ted there were two Governors, Nichols
and Packard, and two Legislatures
claiming authority in Louisiana. Two
sets of officers in every parish in the
State, and two militia aud police forces
confronting each other in New Orleans.
Hayes appointed a commission consist
ing of FIVE members, two Stalwarts, two
moderate Republicans and one Demo-
GRAFT, to go to Louisiana and investigate.
When they reached New Orleans they
induced the Packard Legislature, which
had previously elected" kellogg to the
Senate, to disband, and recommended
Hayes to recognize Gov. Nichols, which
he did He made honors easy by ap-
pointing Packard, Consul to Liverpool.
We can't say that we endorse the prop
osition to pay the expenses of these
statesmen" out of the public treasury.
They were performing no official duties,
and the only thing necessary for acting
President Hayes to have done was to
let Louisiana alone, and the people
would have settled the matter as to the
two governments; but certainly the
object of the commission was holy,
compared with that of the visiting
statesmen" with whom the Gazette
confounds it.

Let Us Have Peace.

Referring to the partisan-or W,
should say sectional combat-in tn,
Senatorial arena, subscriber writes
"Tell us all about the war,
And what they are killing each other for?"
These are the facts in a nutshell
Fhe Republicans have offered reso
luton to go into the election of Secre
tary of the Senate, Sergeant-at-Arms
and other under officers of the body
They have majority, and say it is rev
dictionary for the minority to preven
by obstructive expedients the election
of these officers. The Democrats, Oh
the other hand, contend that the Senate
was called together to transact Execu.
tive business, and that it is contrary to
precedent to elect its under officers be-
fore the regular meeting of Congress.
Besides, they wish to reveal to the
country the true inwardness of the cor
rupt alliance between the Republicans
and Malone.
The issue thus joined has produced
the furious debates. The country is
inclined to regret that the advice of
Mr.. Bayard to the Democrats, that
though their position was right in the
abstract, the game wasn't worth the
candle. The time of the election of these
under offices hardly rises to the dignity
&c n ,or;Do;Y1Ia onJ +bo Xy;ro;,,;, 4.:4
would have soon enough betrayed his
cloven foot and his foul alliance. In
fact it smelt to heaven, before Ben.
Hill punctured it. The money wasted
in this protracted debate is minor con-
sideration; and it would be a small
matter if it involved none others save
the actual combatants. But unfortun-
ately, it has enlisted the attention and
sympathies and passions of both sec
lions, and revived ami mosities that
ought to sleep, aye, to die. Now, our
Southern Senators being into it, are
to be applauded for striking back, re-
polling falsehoods, and even CARRYING
the war into Africa. We only wish
the counsels of the statesman from
Delaware had been adopted. 1t is best
lot to arouse the God of storms, the
lightning and the gale, when only fiy
is to be drowned. We believe the right
masses everywhere are of the
same mind, as the New York Herald,
when it says:
eve do not want to read these dreary,
weary, wretched speeches about Z" bloody
shirts' and f'negro massacres' and burning
crimes and all this dead-wood rubbish of |
l canvass for the Presidency We had |
enough Of that last summer-enough to
asst us for four years, This revival of this |
business, as found in the helpless and ire
'ponsible Senatorial debate, may be COM
pared to a kind of political malraria that
will sweep over the country during the
summer and breed all manner of dissatis-
action and accrimony'

what Has Come of Keeping Kellogg
in His Usurped Seat.

In the course of the partisan de-
bate in the Senate occasioned by the
resistance of the Democrats to the
plan of the Republicans to elect officers
in advance of the regular session, Mr.
Hampton, of South Carolina, reminded
the Republicans that their small ma
jority was due to the "magnanimity
of portion of the Democrats IN allow
/ ing Kellogg to hold seat to which he
was not entitled, and In that connec-
ton expressed his sympathy for Louisl-
ana in being thus unrepresented, Cor
what he might have said was worse
-n,isreprese7ded)-Nfr. Jonas, the one
Senator from Louisiana, who has strug-
gled faithfully against the injustice
to his State, reminded Mr.. Hampton
that his 'magnanimity to the Republi-
cans, was ill-timed, and that it was at
the cost of the rights of Louisiana !;
that she had appealed in vain to the
Democrats when they had the power to
redress the wrong, but a sufficient num-
Der of them had on this question gone
over to the Republicans and had refused
to right it; that Louisiana did not ask
sympathy" and would endure the
wrong as best she could.
Mr. Jonass ringing words must have
been the more CALLING to the Senators
whose "magnanimity" to the Republi-
cans had victimized Louisiana, when
Kellogg, the object upon whom it had
been expended, Immediately arose in his
seat, and, with ingratitude sharper than
serpents' tooth, poured out from his
foul mouth a TRADE of calumny and
abuse of the Southern whites, and
especially the white people of Louisiana.
Pretending to represent the State, he
held up her governing population, as
guilty of the basest treachery, falsehood
and crime; and all this goes on the
Congressional Record as an enduring
testimonial of the matters whereof he
proposed to bear witness. If Louisiana
had been permitted to be represented
by her own choice as expressed through
her legitimate authorities, the country
would have been spared this shameful
scandal. Nay, there would have been
no deadlock. The Democrats would
have retained control of the Senate,
and this unfortunate war of words which
has stirred up afresh the slumhering
memories of really obsolete issues,
would never have occurred. Foresee-
ing this very calamity, We lifted our
humble voice entreating the Democrats
of the Senate to be united in this one
thing of Kidding the Senate of Kellogg,
but how could ace expect to be heard |
when the remonstrsnee and petition of
the sovereign State of Louisiana her
self was treated with cool Indifference.

SENATOR VOORHEES, tainted by bully
ing demonstrations from Senator Ma
hone, the apostate, endorsed some re
Elections upon him contained in Phila-
delphia Republican paper, whereupon
Malone said: Whoever makes such
" a charge Is not brave and hon.
9 orable man. Let him take that and
g wear it" The first offence was given
to Malone, and under esthe code" the
onus Of demanding satisfaction devolved
upon him. But men who profess to be
chi1alrous don't stand upon technicali-
ties where an insult is given. and the
provccation was sufficient to have iusti-
fedeither in taking the initiative. How
ever, the news Is that both are satisfied
to let the matter rest, and 30 much the

The War Upon the ~Bourbons..
The following Is from the Washington
correspondent ofthe New York Tribune j:

The following Is from the Washington
correspondent ofthe New York Tribune !:
An important independent movement is
organizing in Mississippi for the purpose of
contesting the State with the Bourbons next
fall The effort is to consolidate the Re-
pubIicans and the former Democrats who
have left that party and have been acting
in local canvasses of late under the name of
Greenbackers or Independents. The Re
publican organization will not be aban-
doned, but its negro wing will not be put
foremost, and it will form an amieable
coalition with the liberal white elements
that are tired of Bourbon rule The best
Republicans in the State, white and colored,
such as Alcorn, Morris, Mckee, Chandler,
Lynch and Hill, favor this movement.
They believe there must be a bridge of
independent planks if the liberal and pro-
gressive whites are ever to cross over from
the shotgun Democracy of the past to the
new Republicanism of the future They
are ready to help build that bridge. Some
Of them are in this city to consult with
members of the administration.
So it seems that the Administrator"
is to lend a helping hand in the matter
of fixing up things in Mississippi. 1t
occurs to us that the Administration"
which has the affairs of the general
government to take care of, could find
better employment than concerning
itself with the local governments of the
States. The "Bourbons," we are told,
are to be routed Who the s'Bourbons"
are, we are not distinctly informed.
There is difference of opinion about the
proper application of this term. The
Vicksburg Herald insists that the
phrase applies to the Democrats who
insist upon strict enforcement of the
election law which was copied from the
Ohio and New York statutes and put in
our Code; who absolutely refuse to
swear by Logan's bill to create a life
salary for Ex-President Grant; and
don't think it was either just or consti-
tutional or good party policy to keep
Kellogg in his usurped seat, thus giving
the Senatorial branch of Congress over
to the Republicans. The engineers of
the Important movement" above men
toned evidently think that the ''Bour-
bons" are the DEMOCRATIC PARTY which
overthrow carpet-bag rule and have
inaugurated the system of economy,
and wise administration which has sue
ceeded the reign of ignorance, terror
ard dishonesty. An essential part of
the new pro gramme, it is said, is to send
the "negro wing" to the rear in the d.
vision of the offices. Whether the
colored troops will fight hravely under
such an arrangement remains to be
seen. The lesson for the Democrats is
plain. 1t is to stand by their organiza-
ton. With their splendid record of
faithful and economic administration
and reduced taxes, compared with the
dishonest and extravagant administra-
ton which it displaced, there should be
no dOubt of the result

Senator Georges Answer to an IRE
sponsible Slanderer

WE have printed the fullest report
we could obtain of the proceedings in
the Senate on the 1st inst, at least that
portion in which the Mississippi Sena-
tors participated. Mississippians will
be gratifed by the prompt and forcible
manner in which Senator George
repealed the SANDER upon his State.
He drove its author to the wall, and
compelled him to take refuge behind an
irresponsible informer whose name he
refused to give.
As for the statement that
@sthe term reputation originated
with Mississippi it comes with bad
grace from a Massachusetts Senator.
Long before Mississippi was heard of
either as territory, or State, the name
of Massachusetts was linked with repu-
diation. In 1749, the colony of Massa-
chusetts had debt of e., 200, 900, and
repudiated the whole of it except one
twelfth. She is at this moment charged
with the basest reputation in refusing
to comply With contract entered into
with a corporation Of Der own begetting
and confseating its property.
For the hundredth time in the last
ten years, the charge of Mississippi
reputation has been repeated, and
