A LITTLE PLAIN TALK to THE PEOPLE
Attention was directed last week to
the importance of maintaining actively
an opposition to Jthe Kellogg govern
ment, on the part of all th6so who sup
ported the Fusion ticket and who be
lieve that the prosperity of the State,
the purity of elections and the right of
the mpajority to govern will be perma
nently endangered, if not blasted, by
the ultimate success of that usurping
government. The idea we would im
press upon every such citizen is, that
Congress has virtually sent back to the
people of Louisiana the solution of their
own troubles, by its deliberate non
action in the contest between McMillen
and Pinchback, (the House deferring
to the Senate in the decision of the
matter in controversy,) and, that, Con
gross has, in effect, said to Louisiana,
You are expected to present yourself at
the next session of this body with such
evidence as will warrant us either in
upholding, or abolishing the de /facto
government headed by WV. P. Kellogg.
The fact that a Radical Senate did
not, at once, positively approve the
acts of the President andl the govern
ment of Kellogg, is something worthy
of serious consideration. We all have
an idea of the pressure brought to bear
to induce Radical Senators to sustain
the Kellogg usurpation. We have seen,
nevertheless, that the- issue thus made
was not decided in favor of those mnak
ing it. Hence, the logical conclusion
must be, as we have said, that the de
elsion of the Louisiana case has been
virtually remanded to the peoplhlo oj
Louisiana for such decision as they
shall see proper to make.
One step of great value has beein
gained. The resistance we have nalde
hlas not proved "a nmatter of moon
shine." The traditional respect shown
for an accomlplished fact, has been made
to give way to the pleadings of a hos
tile cause founded upon right, and we
have aroused the sympathy, and coln
manded the attention of the people of
the whole thirty-seven Slates of the
Union.
'lainly, then, ought the people to
back dlown from a contest into which
they entered deliberately, and wherein
wealth, virtue and intelligence are the
most powerful and, certain to be, the
victorious elements? Will they sur
render before at single gun is fired-be
fore they have demonstrated that they
wCre really honest in the outset?
It is not simply the trimtnlph of Gov.
McEnory, or of the whole Fusion ticket,
we should regard as the goal of our am
bition, but the redemption of Sltate
otherwise lost and ruined.
The colored leaders of the negro
clement have sent across the bow of the
Kellogg vessel their shot of warniing.
The syren song raised by Mr. Kellogg
that he is able to control the resigna
tions of his negro legislators is false,
and only meant to break down active
opposition. -lis colored supporters are
his masters to-day, and Mr. Kellogg
knows it full well. l'resident Girant
placed them in power, even over Mr.
Kellogg, and it is too late to look for
an abdication. As wU have stated,
thtir p s mamsters of the situation
',ls been taken. They know their
consagth in Kellogg's legislature, and
plnclear that they do not intelnd to
meetIt to any arrangement which will
Btatdatintain their nscendency.
V'hat, then, is the interest of the
people? It is plainly, opposilion to the
Kellogg usurpation at all times and
under all seductiv-e inhlumnces. They
should show to the next c(ongress that
Mrr. Kellogg canlnot govern ILouisialai:;
thnt lie cannot receive the respect anid
support of the people of Ithe State; that I
ho cannot redeem its paper, pay its
bonds, or the interest thereon; anil,
finally, that Louisiana is practically in
a state of anarchy.
,,l f this chance to right upI thle State is
lost, a negro lpalldemoiinimll emlines, boe
yondi all peradventure. I le wliisulmnits Is
now will tleserve to hav'e hi~ fulll shale I
of all t1he evils whlichi ire certain, te
follow. We tell tlih peoplet that the re-l
Sponisibility is with thie, m andal
man alike. If they are wrlihy of a
gioid State government, litir acts will
deminsitrate it ietiween this an-t nix
ilelinepr. If they are net, it is imi- '
material hiiiw corrupt, cruel uld tie

power over theni.
Sonie of the strongest 1'usmionists in
the parish of Lincoln lhave talkenl otlict'e

ASSASSINATION OF AN OLl CITIIZE .
lion. W. B. McDonald, of the south
western portion of Jackson parish,
while undressing to go to bed at the
hotel In Vernon, on Sunday night, was
shot through the window of his room,
six buck-shot taking effect in his abdo
men, from which death ensued in
about one hour. The rooo m is in the
lower story of the house, with the
window, through which the charge
passed, at the end of the room and sonime
thirty paces from the street. Different
persons, arriving from Vernon, agree
in stating that no satisfactory clue to
the identity of the assassin, or to the
cause of this bloody deed, has suggested
itself, or been discovered, by thie citi
zens of Vernon.
Mr. McDonald had resided in Jack
son sonie twenty-six years, and was a
planter in good circumstances. He bad
several times been in the Police Jury
of the parish, and in the first legislnturo
after the war represented his parish in
part in the lower house. Up to 18G9,
we believe it was, lhe acted with the
Democrats, and thenou by degrees veered
around to the Rlepublican party, and
in the last campaign was a warnl sup
porter of the Grant and Kellogg ticket.
Personally, he was a man of great
energy, devoted to his family, with
strong convictions, a vigorous mind and
a bearing natural to such a tenlllera
mont. Hle had taken an active part in
organizing the new parish of Lincoln,
with the view, it appears, of adding to
the southern portlion of ,ljtksolii from
adjoining parislies oni that border and
thu, necessitating a chango of the par
ish site.
We state all those points fully and
frankly,-a-dding that Mr. MIc)onald,
strong iii his friendship, was equally
strong in his opposition to tiose whom
he had reason to dislike,-ln order to
answer, ias far as o01o's history can, the
very natulri l qulestion which every
rea(der will ask, in a case like this, What
cause c'o0uld thleoo be for lis asslassina
tion ? VWe ire, ourself, wholly at a loss
to conjecture what affTront to any one
Mr. MclDonald could ofTer, that would
watlrrant stuch Ia dastardly not, or to ac
count fori his death tlus, In any way,
exeeplt that the plIrlrptrator is a man
who would take life without any cause
at all. A most respeetal)le fiamily-
wife, snlls and daughters---has been
cruelly and brutally brought to woe,
and a plrominenllllt citizen hurried, with
out warning, inlto the grave, ill a man
ncr revolting to even savage nature.
Tileo people of Jalck.son are not the
people to permit this redl-handed act to
pass without their earnelst scrutiny anld
rebuke.

counties of Jefterson, Lincoln (lately
created), Drew and Ashly, In Arkansas,
and the parishes of Morehouse and Oua
chita in Louisiana, their respective
county sites falling nearly on a straight
line. These are Pine Bluff, Star City,
Monticello, Hamburg, Bastrop and
Monroe. This line wouldfollow Bayou
Bartholomew from its head to its
mouth,not leaving it more than eighteen
miles for a distance on a direct line of
about 150 miles. About equi-distant
on the right of this line is the Saline,
and after its confluence the Ouachita
river.
The land along these streams and
their tributaries is perhaps the best
cotton-growing land in the State, and
Arkansas, it will be remembered, is
the most productive eottdn State in the
Union. This cotton region has to de
pond on the market almost entirely for
provisions, agricultural implements,
forage and manufactured goods. These
are now obtained from every point of
the compass. Voe have to ship our
cotton in one direction and obtain our
supplies from another. The people
want to trade with St. Louis. It would
be most convenient to sell and buy at
the same blace. If the people of St.
Louis will give us a railroad, we will
give them in exchange, a cotton niar

'Mrs. (iaiues has gained a suit in the

be a good idea for the Fusion govern
ment to employ Mfrs. Gaines to prose

MR. GREELET'S CLOTHES. r
-
fMr. Greeley throughout life was
twitted with his slovenliness of person,
and many people were made to believe r
that ho incurred the risk of being sold I
for a bag of ancient rags whetiever he r
passed into Ann street. The fit and s
quality of his clothes were not what 5
Grammont or D'Orsay would have re
commended; but hoe wans always scrupu
lously neat-Beethoven himself having
no greater passion for the bath. His
linen was ever immaculate; his boots,
though often coarse, well blacked; his I
face carefully shaven, and his hands as
daintily kept na those of a fine woman. £
His cravat had a tendency, it is true, 1
to assume the shape of a hangman's
knot, and his trousers were often sug
gestive of required continuance; but
that he was really sloven was palpably
false. The idle tales that he dispt'rang
ed his toilet before the looking-glass,and
carefully squcezeed his pantaloons into
the leg of his boot cre he appeared on the
street, where purposely told to annoy I
him, and, strange to say, they had the
effect intended. 1Io was sensitive on
the subject of his dress, and seldom re- t
coived advice thereupon with becom
ing equanimity. Oddly enough, he o
beleivod himself a very well-attired I
person, and that few inca in his station
went better clad. " Sartorial comments t
were wont to dlraw fromn him sharp and 1
stinging replies.
Whemn a city editor of the Tribune
once suggusted the reformation of his 2
neck-tie, Mr. (irecley answered, "You t
don't like my dress, and I don't like
your dlepartmlen. If you have any ailI
provinlelnts to make, please begin at
honlie."
James 1Watson WVebb, while editor
ofthe Courier and Enquirer, was fond of
criticising the costume of his neighbor,
who, referring to the fact that SIr. 1Webb
had been sentenced to the State Prison,
and pardoned, for flighting a duel with
Thomas F. '[arshall, made this extin
guishing rejoinder: "Asuredly no
costume in which the editor of the
Tribuno has ever apeared would create
such a sensation in Broadway as that
James Watson WVebb would have
worn but for the clemency of Governor
Seward."
To another journalist, noted for his
untidiness, and his ridicule of Mr.
Greeley, the latter responded: "If oaur
friend of the-- , who wears mourning
for his departed veracity under his tin
ger-nails, will agree to surprise his
systemn with a baith, we may attempt a
clean discussion with him."
The illustrous editor was simply
careless or his att ire,though fastidiously
neat. Ile was always so busy that,
when hie rose in tile morning, lie put on
tile first thing he found, and sometimes
he did not linput it more than half on.
Ills clothes never seenmed to sit hilm, or,
rather,he never scemed to 'it his clothes.
The wonder with many of his acquain
tance was where he bought them, or
whether they did not grow, so unique
often were their cut and pattern.
Clothes, I repeat, were a tender theme
with him; and he displayed the highest
breeding by never alluding to what he
wore. It is supposed he got his gar
ments ready-mado (I have been told
his wife was In the habit of purchasing
them), and, to save timne, lie took tile
first offered. lie was the only SNew
Yorker of note who repeatedly appear
ed in the street in the morning in a
dress coat. linut he madce ample atone
tment for this by presenting limself up
town at formal dinners in a paletot, or
somo10 pIcular garment that deied idea
tification. \Vhatever may be thoughtI
of Mr. G(reeley's quaint raiment, h:e
was excellenty dressed according to the
rumlllllel cannon, because, after being
with anmid llstening to hiim, one could
not remmlenllmr what lie had on. lie

[Wasii'tn Cr.lidiaiil,lisJ ourtl. j
For the information of my young

Nellie Grant was the plainest dresscd
and most well-bred young lady thore.
Her gown was tarlatan or Frenlch
muslin, made with a demni-train and t
oranamentedo with natural flowers..
LHcr Ihair was arranged in a sinllelo knot,
a high shell comb being the only orna
mont. The best evidence of her good- 1
ness of heart was the number of young l
girls that clustered around her, andl tlhe
attentions of the gentlemen were receiv
ed with quiet dignity and grace. She
seemed to have no fancy for beltledlom;
and, talking to one gentlieman at a
time, was polite to all. The contralt I
with the excess of ianner andl love of
adulation that characterized the Wash- I
ington young lady of society, was really
refreshing. I do not kfiow if it If soomc
thing in the air, but there is a society
manner here that is in wretched taste
when put oin by young girls. It is not I
exactly a simple or a smirk, with a
mincing voice :Land( walk, but an aflee
tation of maturity anlgraciousness that t
amounts I t abandon and elffr-onltry.
It is absolutly refreshing to lmeet a
