DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. L
THE GENELAL COMMrrt'Ez.
A
Monday night last the conserva- th
I live anti-negro hangers on to the IP
Republican party in the District of di
Columbia did.their utmost in the Pt
meeting of the Republican General
Committee to effeot the dissolution di
of that committee, in order that an- fa
.ther might be organized whose ye
e'mposition would be less black :n
than that of the present All of thL 'l
opposition to the preseut committee
comes from men who did their ut- tj
most to prevent the giving to a t
;olered man any position above it
that of a scavenger. '4
That there has been a determined P
effort on the part of the white sl
people of the District of Columbina
to deprive the black voter of the 1
District of the power and intfnence
to exerts by the use of the ballet
cannot truthfully be denied. Be- I l'
cause of the weight of the colored tl
vote here oflices that have hertto- ti
fore been elective have been made I
:ppointive, and the black man isn
this District has no vote by any
enactimeit of the law-making power
of the District. U
We ieat it, that because of the P
very evitleet dispoeition on the
1crL of colored men to choose from
anions their own number a few of
the ooiccrs of the Distriei, tb' !
ee jcive frnnclhise here, in so far as
ithe District givernment had the
power, was deniied to all. The ap

We say to the colored voter of'

I nd against radicalism. The oppo

of the anti-carpet-baggers, negro~
haters, and the white man's party.

THE MEETING TO CONDEMN
LAS L NESS.
Be publish to-day a call, signed
by a number of klading citizens, fur
I general meeting of the citizens of
bhe parish, to be held at the Conrt
house in this place next Saturday
A great many more have signea
this call, in remote parts of the
parish, but the lists of their names
did not reach this office in time fur
publication.
This it a step. taken in the right
direction. The la~w heretofore has
failed to ruseh the bands of assas.
eins maentioned in the call for the
meeting, and it behooves all the re
apectable, peaceabjý and law-abidiiig
:itizens in that parish to assutble
together and condemn the as:astins
and show the world that these
-tealers of human lile are net
shielded from justice by the general
publie sentinwnt. The meeting
should go further, if poi.sihle, anal
adopt sonic measure to briag tha
riminals to justice. The property
owners of this parish had better of
.er rewards and employ lrJfl'ion:al
. Idetectives, out or their own pockcty
than have immigration kept out ..
the parish, and the labor that they
dready have, driven aw:v.
But there is another view ia the
ease. Martial law has been alchrAl

citizens arrested and thrown into
prison; hundrrds of <,thers are re*
fugees from their home-s. In this
