poor pretence. A
At the commencement of the campaign
which has jnst closed, the Bepnblican
State Central Committee of Louisiana was
disappointed in the convocation of a con
vention in consequence of the quarantines
by the parishes. It therefore continued
in provisional authority until its snecessor
should have been appointed by authority
of the Bepnblican party in convention as
sembled. This trust has been accepted
and complied with to the best ability of
the committee. Upon a survey of the
field of opening oombat the committee
found themselves wholly withont the means
of effectual political Warfare. There was no
Bepnblicsn newspaper of pronounced
opinion or sufficient circulation in the
city or State. The property and bnsinees
interests of the party were, under the
general depression, unable to eontribnte.
The mass of voters subsist on their daily
labor, and during the blockade of all in
tercourse it would have been impossible
to collect or to transmit their bumble
tribute to the success of their principles.
It was early instructed by the National
Bepnblican Committee at Washington
that nothing oonld be effected, and there
fore nothing need be wasted in the Lou
isiana election. The committee was,
therefore, left to such resources as might
be obtained by our Federal officers. It
will be seen from this unpropitious pros
pect, an active or aggressive campaign
was impossible.
The oommittee, therefore, published an
address which enjoined npon every Re
publican the preservation of his cardinal
principles, but gave to each parochial and
distriot organization a dispensation to
nominate a Bepnblican straight ticket or
vote far such anti-Democratic as might
tend to secure local protection to the
voters and strengthen the Conservative
disaffection to the White League Democ
racy. It may be remarked that this last
discretion has encouraged a large and res
pectable body of onr oitizens to declare
that they wonld support the resolntions of
the Louisiana Legislature of April 17,
1877, and practically recognize the politi
cal. and industrial rights of the colored
people. They then published the pledges
which follow:
We pledge to yon a fair proportion not
only of the political patronage, bat also a
liberal representation in onr commercial
pursuits. We pledge our united interests
the edocation of your race, fitting them
fill every station in life equal to that of
any other race.
Should this Conservative interest main
tain the just and hnmace sentiments in
opposition to the intolerant forooity of
the bulldozing Democracy, the position
and saenrity of the colored people will be
ascertained and established upon the basis
of local and domestic protection and
employment.
The result of the election has demon
The result of the election has demon
strated the wisdom of the oonrse pre
scribed by the committee, and we have
no donbt a great saving of life has followed
its observance. Bepnblican candidates
were nominated in the Third, Fonrth and
Fifth Congressional Districts. Some of
these were prevented by abuse, interrup
tion and threats from proeecnting the
canvass, and all of them were defeated by
fabulona majorities. The representation
of Louisiana in Congress is solidly Demo
cratic. In some of the parishes in whioh
the Bepnblican ascendancy was established
an effort was made to hold conventions,
bat, owing to sach obstacles as have been
stated, withont success. We may note
especially Natchitoches and Tensas. In
the first of these a Bepnblican ward meet
ing was followed by the arrest of several
leaders, white and colored Bepublicans,
who were driven from the parish and
even required to quit the State and United
States on pain of assassination. In the
second of these parishes a Democratic
convention had been held, bat when a
Bepnblican convention was proposed they
were excluded from the villages of their
own parish by an armed quarantine against
the danger of infection. A military
posse cotoing from the adjoining State of
Mississippi; in aid of the Democracy, was
admitted and entertained within the
quarantine from which the resident col
ored citizens bad jnst been excluded. In
order to show the effect of such intimida
lion npon the whole Stats, the proper po
litical status oi these two parishes is thus
given from the State census of 1875:
Whites. Colored.
Natohitochee............6097 15,404
Tensas................J.417 17,100
Tensas................J.417 17,100
It is well known that the colored people
have belonged almost exclusively to the
Bepnblicsn party, and both these parishes
have had a Republican representation in
the Legislature ever sines the set of suf
frags. Notwithstanding, therefore, the
immense disparity of the Democratic and
Bepnblican vote in these parishes, Demo
cratic representatives have been returned
for both of them by large majorities. The
whole Stats returns, so for as at this mo
ment ascertained, show a Democratic ma
jority of an: nt forty thousand votes in
State which ■ le Bepnblican party believe
to be Bepaoliean by twenty thousand.
This change of more than fifty thou
sand votes can not, ws think, be account
ad for by any conversion of opinion, while
it in vary readily snpteined by the terror and
dependence of the unarmed and unlettered
material of whioh the Bepnblican party
in Louisiana is chiefly composed. This
wholesale eoaviotton of opinion is tbs
the moss improbable sines the conserva
tive disaffection to the Bourbon Demoo
racy hao boon so groat that its vote in this
sfenal fttete victory ef Ch« Bmt -1
bon Democracy proves that the pledges
given the President for the protection of
popular rights has not been enforced. On
both the occasions stated, and in at leaat
two others in which sots of violence have
intimidated the Bepnbliean voters, an
appeal has been made to both the State
end Federal governments for relief. To
neither of these applications has an; other
consideration been given beyond an order
to the Federal and State local authorities
respectively to inquire into and report on
the alleged wrong. The programme of
intimidation extending aoross from Caro
lina to Tensas has produced the same ef
fect here as elsewhere. It has paralyzed
alike the organization and the action of
the Bepublican party. Such, indeed, is the
confidence of the Democracy in their
ability to violate or evade the constitu
tion and the laws, that the execution or
enforcement of either would be utterly
futile by any means short of military in
vasion and renewed civil war, a result
which every good citizen of this State
would earnestly depreoate. In conse
quence, however, of this want of social
and legal protection many Bepnblicans
the country, despairing of aid from either
government, and being even without the
means of making their deplorable op
pression known by publication, have been
oompelled to surrender and take such
temporary safety and employment as may
extended them by the several anti
Democratic associations. They have thus
abnegated the exercise of their political
opinions and cast their votes according
the wishes of their emplo yers.
In this state of panic, and nnder this
impulse of self-protection we have even
hesitated to advise those who have had
life and living at stake to peril either by
making voluntary complaint on acoount
the violence and indignities wh ich have
been cast upon them. The apparent in
difference and tantalizing sarcasm with
whioh these complaints were received by
the pnblio elsewhere led us to believe
that it would have been to place the life
and property of the affiant in sn ch case at
the mercy of the exasperated ruffians
who inflicted the wrong. Every consid
eration of humanity hag restrained ns
from doing more than to per pe taste the
testimonials of those cruel abnseB. They
would have been of no service in the pre
sent campaign, bnt they will warrant the
call of the Federal grand juries, and may
well enter into the verdiot which will be
rendered npon the treacherous steward
ship of those who have known the will of
the nation and yet did it not.
If the spectacle of a probable majority
of a constitutional people of a State de
prived by violenoe and intimidation of all
participation in its government exoept at
the dictation of others, does not present a
sufficient argument against the national
ascendancy of Democratic principles, the
authenticated slaughter of a few addi
tional hundreds of people guilty of the
crime of color, and the wish to exercise
the right given them by the nation, could
neither touch the hearts nor animate the
action of the philanthropists who claim
to have bestowed these rights npo n them.
We feel for these reasons justified and
indeed constrained to declare that the at
tempt to secure to the emanoipa ted peo
ple of Louisiana their politioal rights un
qualified by the oondition of color thus
for a flagrant failure.
The result of the Congressional elec
tions thus far would indicate the rapid
reformation of ssotional parties. The in
tolerance and bad faith of the S outhern
Democracy has oompelled a response at
the North, and we may expect a second
sectional contest, not with arms, but at
the ballot box.
The census of 1880 will perhaps settle
this hostility, whioh it now appears did
not arise from slavery alone, permanently
and forever. It will be, however, a con
test in whioh Bepublicans at the South
can take little park They even now stand
jnst where the Union men of 1861 stood.
They will be In effect prisoners of war.
They can nSfopass the dead line of party
demarcation withont danger of politioal
annihilation. The same influenced which
determined the sectional solidity of North
and South in the one contest will pro
duce precisely tbs same effset in the
other.
Under these circumstances the Stats
Central Committee have discharged the
dntieS imposed npon them to the best of
their ability, and their want of mors com
plete success is foitly attributable to ob
stacles superior to their capacity to over
come. Events will shew whether their
agency may be more effectual in the fu
ture. For the present the Committee
should deem its regular deliberations un
warrantable and unnecessary. It sen at
present, therefore, recommend that the
oommittee on finance report at an early
meeting the state of the Committee
treasury with its outstanding eugage
i, that the proceedings of the
campaign be declared closed, and that
the meeting will adjourn subject to the
roles providing the mode in whioh the
Committee oan be celled together.

Of their Confederashin.

FeBow Citizens— Ife take pleasure
welooming yon to participate with ns os
this important occasion, perhaps the most
important in the annals of Louis, mo's
history. We sre convinced that yon bare

bored from year to year, though in i
site directions, awaiting the illusory
that we entertained from the most san
guine promises of oar politioal patrons.
We alike, have awaited in vain, and yet I
these pledges have not been redeem d.
Instead of a golden harvest ripe with 1 in
fruit of prosperity and success, we behi 4
chaos and rain; oar business U beoomi g
paralyzed, onr industries are becomi >g j
dormant, our city desolate, our enterprii • J
losing their vitality, onr trade being dra\ a ,
off in other directions for the want 4 '
proper legislation, our merchants three - 1
ened with insolvency, laboring mass * j
devoid of employment, and their fomili «.
rendered .destitute thereby. Oar plaoeg
of learning, wherein oar children must 1 e t
trained to battle with this advanced age
of civilization and progress, are being nef;
lected and their tutors illy paid for the-r l
invaluable servicoe. The faithful watch
men, and custodians of onr lives and pro.
parties, who patrol thsir beats amid stem
and sunshine, are cared for little above thdA
pauper, and dangers too many to mention f
are staring os in the face, threatening cur,^'
downfall and rain. Bach is oar oonditicn
to-day, and we believe that you are sufii
ciently interested to assist as in the p r
formanoe of this herculean task. In ear
recent address accompanying the tioket
we presented for yonr suffrages, we mad*
special mention of oar intentions toward
you, to show that we are sinoere, ws barn
deemed it advisable to issue this our spe

We are proud to acknowledge your m

there should be some among you who «r
still disposed to doubt our sincerity, afti
so many years of delusion and false pnw
ises; bnt we ask of yon to extend tq^
small share of that confidence whict

We regret that ws have bee*'
