ARtE rEPUBlIlCANS SAFE I e
W.lO ARE TIlE lURDERERS! 9
---- d
NEw OnLi.ANs, April 28, 1875. r
A friend writes me from the North 0
this question, "Are white ad black
Uuion men safe ia life, litterty and I
property in Louisiana I Th it iW the a
question whioh wo of the North want a
.to have houstly and sealiusly an.
swered." 0
I answer : -first, the popul ition 1
of Louisiana is dividted politically 0
intowelpublioans, callei hore radicals; h
and democrats, called here O..Userva. ti
.tives. They are all Union wea. It U
is absurd and wicked to keep up the b
4ld war animnosity by giving to the ai
Bouthern republicans the special a
title "Union men." The republican T
pnrty in Louisiansontains a great '"
many men who were -bitter secession
.i6ts, now only during, but after the to
vwar. 'One of the most couspionou
ropubicans, who oame before the hi
Congessional CommitteO nith coM. W
plainti, and who was proved thero D
-und then by do.mmentary evidence to P.
be a rogue. Judge Myein, of Natoi 'i
.toches, was a Breckenridge democrat 00
before the war, Another., 4reen, R
xvho admitted that be and his sots Of
%eld pretty miuch all the offices in PO
Lincoln pArish, wade a xpeeoh in the M
Legislature after the war advocating 1
-payment(far alaves. I could .mGn. .b
tion dozens of suoh .eases. On the do
.other hand, in nay limited acquaint. O*
ance in the State, I know ' at least 'i
4ifteen .Northern men, who were Of
strouuous republicans in the Nort, al
most of whom still openly act with. no
the National republican party in fed
,eral-elections, but who vote and use t
all their influence for the democrati l 0
or conservative party in State and e
,p-riah affairs. There are hundreds P
of such men in the State. .Even the 7)
republicans themselves are .ot so ti
mi). urd as !o .arrogate to them.elvw re
the title of '-Union men." They 's
.would be laughed at.
'IHE ViURTHORN MEN AND INEGoWoift
SAFE. pe
What tiy correspondent, and no R
.doubt mauy other Northern men, t
want to know is whether northern 't
men and iegroes are safe and can got di
.siouity and ijastice in Louisiana.; lu
-aid to this I ieply, unesitatingly,
"Yes." It is'perfee'ly true, as I
..said in.a.previous letter, that between
1865 and .1668 there was a good deal *
-of oavage a id bvutal wrong infliated e
-on the blacks ; and in the Qame a
period, and probably for a year or
.two later, Nlort.hern men who -came
herv .4e take possession of the State a
W politically, and who at once began a, al
.prodigious-systeum of,public pluuder,'
were not always safe fromn the anger t
'and resua.4ment, of the native white..
'l3ut several of the most prominent,
rep ablicaus of the city have told me
ipositively thaat the 8tate.was poescea
$ ble and.quiet from -1868 to d-872,
and that rsae.c thena the whites had a
been dissatilile mainly because they a
believed -sincerely that.Kellogg~ was W
not fairly.eleeot-el G-overnor and that (
ials rule was that of a usurper. If
Goeneral Sheridan.ever turns in his.
.faamous list of 2,600 mnurders, anil if'
*aeep'uta dates to tk:em, it, will be foundt
4hatL the ,politic.d murders hap.0
pecned be'fore Al*68$, asvith the excep-0
tion of the Coushatta ahkl (Jolfax af- a
~fairs. Myers, the corrupt.Judge whoa
c "laiws to.have beena driven .out of '
Natchaitoches parie.h,assured me that
that parish wasone dfithe most.quiet in
the State until 1-874, when he and a
swindling tiax -ooilector were .driven
'out.
'l AN UNIUtW P'Anti.-Hi.
Tais parish has become so notori-.
-ons as the most unruly in the Btate o
that I have takena somae pains to as fil
-o ertain the facts-; 'boeoause there, 4f li
Sanaywhere, persecution of Northern I.
.~men and neAroes wouldl be found. r<
.j Now, thenr-4Sirst, an officinl -r*port,~ g
properly nusheat'icated,of the mur-, at
ders committed in this pariah from et
1868 to 1875 lies before me. They. .r<
-number fortyone, and .of these ,p
'there were whit.es murdered by ba
Swhitee, 1.3; colored murdered aby 'N
colored, 13.; whites by ceolored, 4.r<
\jcolored by whites, B-; whites by Un- 41
known persons 3'; colored by uz*newn, 8
1; colored by offier, of justice in1 o
serving pfoces, 3.; Indian by a white a
mao, .1. Now somebody may object a
~that the record is not correct, but to r
that the reply l~ that the parish has ti
been almost Otanally Blnloe 1868 ?
wander Republican offloers and that! t
Vhe Coroner is reputed here as else-- p
Where, to be an officer very zealous In t
ie collection of fees. It is not l
reditable to the republio4n rule , t
iat for these 41 homicides not one
ian has boon hanged, and only one I
as been punibsd in any way. J C
iuald add that there is no evidonoe I
Iat any of these tuurders arose out of [I
,)litical 0auses. t
row, then, conside.r that the parish t
ad for years a corrupt judge and a b
iieving tax collector, who managed t
I get all his sons into offioms, and a b
olice jury (county Supervisor,) m
ade up mainly of illiterate negroes. e
overnor Kellogg, in 1874 appointed i
s police jurors three colored men b
ho could ielther read nor write, one n
bite man -of infamous charbeter, o
bot even his fellow repub;icans b
ublis-ly prolestod against, and one ii
scent white mau. Ut.der such p
zlors the pariah tax, which alautnt. I
i to $13,475, with a valuation of $8,. fi
00,000 in 1860, rose to $46,894, on a C
aluation of but $2,000.000 in 1869, o
54,902 in 1870, and in 1873 it rose I
, $82,207- This was the parish tax p
lon, exclusive of the State tax. 2
be Supervisors allowed thenm.ielves T
rue year fifty cents a mile mileage o
>r every time they met. They paid 8
it $1,500 for a bridge which could b
ave been built for $300, and gave v
ie contractor a privilege to levy toll b
pon it for his own use when it was r(
Ailt. The Parish Judge, Myers, bi
knowledged before the Congression. It
COurawittee that he had for two qi
ars retained $7,500 of parish money
lia possession, in violation of an
der of a District Court to rotura iti
the TIeeasury ; he refused repeat. g
ly to draw.juries, in order to shield i
a confederates ; and yet this porson
as appoirted by 4overnor Ke'Iogg,
istrict Judge, a higher office. The
ople formed a taxpayers' associa- at
)u and warned Myers and one of*his o
ifederates, the Tax Collector t
>ult, to leave the parish. The sons to
Boult to-day hold offioos in the 0)
rish, but none of them were killed. Be

al returns of the registration -and
ection show theb fIg.ros;-TheW
riah had by the census of 1870 W
312 whites and 10,929 blacks. Of
ese one in.five and a half blacks
gistered as a voter and oni) one in
ven and a half of the whites in 1874,
e year of the disturbance. Of the o
665 who regi<terei 3,1l& actually )
ted, and the republicans carried the
riAh by 315 majority. It was
own that many nogroesivoted with v(
e conservatives, and many others hi
ged at home, because they were
sgusewd with the theft of the 'chool' T
Kid.
A rn0LrLrPAn SM. In
I have taken Natabitoolies as an Y
,ample, because it has an especially V,
il reputation. Contrast with this I
pariah tI which the republioants t
ve given te people an honest and '1
onomical goTeranent, and whare W
ore has been no disturbanee. There st
'e but four or'ive honestly govern-.a
I parishes in the State. [ ape n ti
be well informed about one of If
eso, Tensras, like 'Natchit'oohes, ab
tton planting country, and with a s
rge iproponaderance of negroes. '~
here bas never, since 1868 been any 0
sturbance in TenMs, nor any pre- 04
noe of intimidation. Here is the M

Surely the story of those two

ound in parts 6t Louisiana. 4-It Is
ot the radicals, but the t(sietoe,
hat we hate and oppose,'* said more
ban one oonservative to me. And 1
elieve it to be the truth. ' I haveln9t
ime to wander 4lf over the State ;
ut I have examnined every case
,here I have neard of complaints of
special hostility to republicana, and
i every case I have found that there
ad been gross and long continued
isgovernment, extravagance, denial
[justice and tolerance of disorder

,aneo, that Madison parish was not a
leasant plaice for a republican."
!ery well. I find in four years
-ow 1868 to 1872.-the reconstrue
irs ran up a debt in this parish of
rer $142,000. This parish .had, in
B70 by the censuv, only 936 white
Drsonp. It registered in 1874 only
55 white voters and 2,135 blacks.
he few whites were, of course, the
ivners of almout all the property.
Uch nonlstrous misuanagenout,
)rie by so few taxpayers, mifht
iry well create ill-feeliag and strife-,
it the parish gave, in 1874, 1,614
publioun majority, and the vote ran
it fifty five short of the registration.
itinidation is, of course, out of the
iestion.
LOUISIANA MURDRIM.
In the North we have heard so
ueh about murders that I was very
ad to get hold bore of some parish
itistics on this stabjeot. The State
vernment, which has almost en.
rely neglected to punish murder.
s-being too bubily engaged in
3-ling-lias, of course, no such
icial returns of crime as it ought
possess. I have been able toob.
in returns, chiefly made by oouity
Drks and coroners, from only thir
en parishes, not counting Pla.
um ne, which I have before given.
rom 1868 to 1875 athere have been
these thirteen parishes 8.13 m4r
ra. Of these -vinety-three were
whites by whites, 148 were of
lored by colored,' thirty -two color.
by whites, three colored by ofi.
ra of justice, five colored by persons
known, seven whites by unknown,
o whites by mobs and five colored
Pobs. The State has Ofty-seven
ri,hes. Most of the- qthirteen of
iclh I have given returns have a
pulation nearly equally divided
tween white aud black, and I sue.
zt the .figures give more than an
erage number of murdere of whites
whites and less than the average
murders of blacks by blacks.
laquemine, for instanee, not count
in-the above list, registored, in
174, 510 white aid 2,160 black
tero, and there I found that there
d been since 1868, 88 murders, of
hioh 31 wore of blacl4 by blacks.
here is good evidence for the state.
ent that the large majority of
urders-in tho State in the lest six
tare are of blacks hy blaelzs, insti.

LOtSIANA 9?465v.
To return to the anantian of my
Northern friend, Lou144 Is at
peace. I doubt it thore is a single
man within its borders who does not
sincerely call himself a Ilon man.
The people unlversally apt the
Union--nothing is more cett in than
this. Also, there is'do dlbpoition
toreen-lave the negro;t 'Tbo plan ters
hav% disoovered that free labor is
far more economical than slav4.
lverywhere planters ave already
demonstrated to me the profitable.
ness of fr3e labor, and ' .'aokno*l.
edge that all their feas of disorgaii.
,ation proved groundle.. The
bit terest democrat L have avt in the
Stste said to me. "We are fortunate
in Ulne thing *hiah I-ittle expected I
at the close of the war ; we hayb the
best laboring force iq, the. world."
He went on to tell we that before the
war he had often to pay, for extra
hands which he bired, from $160 to
$200 a year, two sui's of olothink,
rations and medicine. Now he pays
$13 to $15 per month and a ration.
"And they work just about is well,
txoept when somse neoursoi politi.
olan comes up from Now Orleans
with a brass band and sends word, as
was done last fall, that Gener4l Bat. ~
ler ordered them all to turn cat to a
politioal lueeting.* Oneof the hope- .
ful bigna is that I have not Aearda ,
single man in the State speculate
about'-tho future of the negro,"
That sort of nonsenle has disappeared.
Nor have I anywhere found the
negro shy of speaking his mind on
polticai subjecti. I laughed at a
planter onl last evening, who told
we how well his hands.wrkd up a
saatein of shares in the oroppof whom b
-1 shall speak in another lotier, and
how faithful and ser.viceable they ,
were. lie, said, "But the soomps all
voted against me at the last ale'tion.'
"I'm glad of it," he added, "for I a
could not hae refused ithem %nytling o
they asked it they had Yated for me, c
and it saved we probably $500, .for
they know ho.w.to ask a favor -fur a

THE ONLT sOURCS OF DIRORDEB. 0
II do not exaggerate wheo Z say
that the only 4ause.of disorder In the V
State lies in the corruption and
inefllenny of the .tate and parioh I
governments. The eoemrowlse is ac.' 0
cepted by an overwhelming ma'ority v
of the conservative party in good: a
faith. The people hope for an im.
provtment in the administration' U
rud are willing4o, give ithe Governor; t
and the other rulers a fair trial. t
Even Marshal Packard tells we the' d
State is at peace. It has, as ever. A
Southern, and for that matter, every 0
Northern State. has, a propertion of a
lawless and ruManly persons. This 0
class is not numerous, but is compos., fC
ed of idlers, drunkards and braves, '41
who..go armed.j and when a communi. 0
ty Is excited thy ore re dy to eow- r
mit outrages, not only on baoks, but
on whites, even on each other. I was a
touched by the remark of an elderly i
man from a,remote.parlsh. He said: ti
-"The Strte government and the a
courts and officers it gives us are so cl
.nefficient that we have to deal with t
these ruffianly young men ourselves. d
I have suone than one taken my life ,p
in my hand4o o_* erve the pews r4
when the 'Sher was too cowardly or .a
ineffoient to do his duty. We have s'
not had a murderer punished .in our q
parish in five years, except one, and b
ho was pardoned cut of the Poniten.. li
tiary. We live near the Texas line, ti
and desperate men some.and,go,eaal- ha
ly. Instead of being abused as dis. ta
orderly people we deserve praise h
th it we have kept ne good order as 1]
we have, when~ the Governor 'has e

inlicienatollca,r.4,.nd whon, in fact b
society lase had to be ronintrained e;
againuat, the abuses and ineffi'iou.cy of d
the governmenutr by the private effort
of the good citizens." This man p
spoke the truth. Jit ais a solemn rand o
undeniable faet that the repubian g
r&nJers-of Louisiana have disorganla. 't;

good oitizens. The only damager .to ti
