THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE « HOME RULE.” Glances at Three Parishes in the Pelican State. The Election in Natchitoches, Tensas, and Caddo—White-League ‘¢ Remonstrances,” Jlow *¢ Intelligence and Integrity ¥ Rule tho State-~-Conciliation in Loulslana, Corrernondence New York Times, New ORLEANS, Eaturday Night.—The Benato, Committee, of which Mr. Teller {s Chalrman, pave examined this week about sixty witneases. They came from Natchitoches, Tensas, and Caddo Parishes. Countles are called parfahes in Loulsiana. These witnesses hiave exhibited thie nature of u,,rf.gunmmznt" (the ltalics as well as the phrase 8 trom the President’s insugursl ad- dreas), and they have illustrated what fs meant by *Home Rulo " o this region of our great Republic. 1have listened to all of this sad and wenry {estimony. But I do not propose to repeat, even Jn the swiftest summary, the shocking fncldents of the story of the last electlon as told by the excutloners of ta eriminal and fts shame- ful acts. big The essential features of the campsign can bo sapldly sketened, and I have nelther time nor the fnclination to do more, The autumnal clection was the {ncvitabla re- salt of the inauguration of a Btate Giovernment chosen by & minority of the leal citizens of Loufstana, What ' national statesmen® fn- sisted on as ¥ a necessity ¥ In the government of the State, the local politiclans fnsisted was equallv 8 pecessity in tha government of fts arishes. It was resolved that ihe Inteiligence and Integrity of tha parishes should rule thein without rezard to the numerical prepotderanca of thelogal voters, who were decreed to b destitute allke of Intcllizence und Integrity. It was resolved, also, that all the white Democrats were menof Intellizence anid Integrity, and it is uoiverssily admitted here—among ol % men of honar, 8if, and high character "—that the black Republlcans have no Iutellizence, and the white Renublicans no Intearity. Tiiere was n common and fixed purpose to creato & solid Democratie State; Lut the agen- cita for the execution of this universal resolva sppear to have been conflded quite largely to |€e Tatelligence and Integrity of the Individual arishes. 4 Hence, where these were men of kindly and eivilized tnstincts the political sclence of bull. dozing was cxhibited in its humaner aspucts; while {te voarser and ita criminal features were displayed with hideuus distinctness in: parlabes intested by ruffians or controlled by leaders of violent temper. Dut, whatever the method, Wgentlemen " nnd ‘“bandlts ™ were equally in- fiexible in thelr purpose to carry the election for Intelllgence and Ini vzfitty. In Natchitoches (pronounced Nakatosh) the leader of the Democraty Is a young gentleman of finc personal appearancs and s pleasant ad- dress. Ile s alawyer, lu that parish the Re- publican leaders, both white and black, were driven fnto exlle—¢ charitably exiled ** wns the polite term selected to describe thelr expulsiony but no more physical forve was used than was abeolutely necessary to insurc that result. There wers no assassinations of negroes, mor whipplogs, nor any other violent methods of electioneering. Political mana, rs who should coniluct & cam- paign in this fashion in the North or West would probably be shot before the clection, and cer- tainly they would ba eent to the Penitentiary ) they survived it. Here they are sentto the Legislature. Each sectlon of our favored country has Its own distincliyo usages, aud {ar bo {t from mo to interfere, cven by the expresslon of a preference, with Homo Rule or State Rights In such more minor matters of de- tall. Itake plensure in sayinz that the leader of the Natchitoches Democracy I8 the beat of all the bulldozers I have ever mek, snd that 1 have quite 8 kindly sentiment. toward him.

Domocrats attest these facts, ‘The orlzinal plan of the Democratic leadera in this punsh did cqual credic to thelr stiatogic sktll, uud, to be entirely courteous, to thelr ca- pacity to riso superior to thelr own political prejudicos, ‘The two Republican white leaders wera able men, but it connot be denfed that they wore acaluwags—tho most detested by stalwart Democrats of all classes of Southern men. A scalawog is & Bouttiern white gentle- man who belioves In thu polltical creed of Abra- ham Liucola und Charles Sumuer. It was reck- oned that if theso two scalawsgs “cumo over! and concented to run oo the Democratic tiekot they mizht briog over a namber of the negroes with them. This would be the cheapest und quictest way of managing the campalgn in the jutercsts of the Uemocrney. These two offico- holders, without consulting the Republienvs of the parlal, or any of them, did 8o consont, and by the coucurrence of the Democratic Commit- teo in this arrungement the Danucratie parish ticket was nominated. Noconvention was culled 1 vonsider or ratify this fusion. ‘The colored leader of the Hepublicans was a man of excellent character, and nniversally re- spected by both races,—a Baptist preuchier and alard-working farmcr,—who ownod his own house and eighty scres of pood land, well stocked. 1le saw through this scheme, and re- solved to defeat it. 1le ‘was a candidaty for Congress, Witha fair count he was absolutely ceraln of an election by an averwheling ma- jurity. 1o desired and’ obtalved a conferenvo withthe Democratic P'arish Comuittee, and was ready to propose a compromise, ‘Ihey heard him, and “declined to negotiate with hiin, althouch be had been duly authortzed by s party couyens ton to treat with them, They'staled ‘that they bad already arranged with the Republican party, through the two candldates already spoken of, who liad recetved uo authority from siybody of Kepublicans to treat with them.

Falrfux then consulicd with his frlends, and they determined to moke up a ticket of emocrats exclusively—all white men—planters and old citizens, ‘Ihese gentlewmen accepted the offer to run an opposition ticket on thy cons ditlon thut they should run distinetively as Democruts. ‘Chey bad been llelone Democrats, and they are Democrats to-day.

A Ropub. liean Conventivn was to_ be called on Mowday, Oct, 18, to ratify this judiclous compact, 'fhis Wasterly myvement - threatened to defeat the latia of the coparceners, ns_well as to de- atroy the prospect of clectini s Democratic Con- gressman, The Democratic Committes kuew that the new Democratic candidates could not h:c bulldozed, for they, too, were men of gtellis keuce and Integrity, and fn Loufsiana ILis a wells Biteated fact wiat ull mea of Lutegrity and In. lligence are not wholly unfawiliar with the use o curnal weapous.

Promot action was taken to vindicate the vivlated miajesty of the law by the friends of Intelligence and 1n- tegrity. No investigation of the attack on Mr. Fairfax's house was made; there was no effort fnatituted to discover the names of the men whio followed the lead of Capt. Peck; but a war- rant was quickly fasued for Lhe arrest of Mr. Falrfax, chorging him with the marder of Clr o Teck! 'This action is in strict sccordance with the code that governs the conduct of Home- Rulera in Louls| Vi, Other companies hastencd to the parish, Of course, it was reported that the negrues wers in arms, nnd that the llves of the whites were in finminent danger. QOne company crossed from Missinsippl. They were significantly and speed- ily notifled by the white supporters of thie Inde- pondent ticket that this was “not a nlugers' war,! but a quarrel between white Democrats, and that they had petter return to their own Btate. They went back. VIiL Meanwhile, one of tha armed companies that marched through the parish came to a thickly- peopled negro settlement and fired n mueder- ous volley Into thelr quarters ac Basse’s Lane. They reported that they had been fired fnto by the negroes. One of them, examincd under oath, attests that he heard no firing, although, as ha was in the ranks, he must necessarily have heard the sbots, if there had been any shots from the negroes. But, according to tha Captaln’s statement, elght ncgroes wero ailled at the time. VIt One ottempt to overawe tha whito Independ- ent Democrats was promptly withdrawn. ‘They were Southern white men, and they wonld not listen to s remonstrance. Five other negrocs were killed in this parish. ‘This statement comes from Democratic testimony. But the reports at the time gave a larger list of alaln, nm}l the Scnate lnvestigation bas not heen con- cluded., This serlen of eplsodes accomplished Its pur- pose. There was no lle% blican candidata for Congress in Tensas Parish. The race issue was ratsed, and then the Independont Democratic parish ticket was defeated by fraud. IX. Caddo Parish is in the weatern part of tho Btato. It 1s a strong Republican parish, with a donso biack population, nud yet it was absolute- 1y necessary {hat the Democrats ahould carry It in order to elect another Congressman, “In nolther of thesc districts, under "a falr count, could any Democratic candidate securs even 8 respectable minority vote. There was Intimidation at the mectiogs of colored voters during that campaigo. But the Republican leaders had sdopted the wise policy of sclecting young whito Democrata excluslvely —or with but a single cxception—for their local candidates In order to divide the white or Democratle vote and to secure the support of tho flghting race. ‘The blacks wero urged to support theni for the reason thnt they were youne men, and not wedded as the old'men were wedded, to the theorles of anfe- bellum times. Refcrences to the dnys of slaverv were denounced as " incendiary,” and all fllus- trations showing that the uncproes wero sull tolling for inadcquate pay—as by the system of Teastng and *¢ advances *'—that prevailed fn that arish were flercely decrled by the Democratle caders as cfforts to Incite labor againse eapital, X. The ballot-box at onc precioct was placed in & “*bulldozing district,”” so difficult to reach that, in ordinary weathcr, as one witness said, “anly a duck or Lird could got to it " from the 1ands whero the masses of the uegroes worked, A urta of 300 or tmora blacka travcled about thirty-lfive miles to gt to 1t traveled through thickets and swawps—for the Democrats had recautfon to remova tho ferry-boat, Aftor this box bad been used all day. arined white men selzed it aud destroyed it At _another preciact—Caledonfa—~between 4 and B o'clock in the sfternoon a company of mounted men, not residents of the settlement, nor voters ll'wru, arrived, every man fully armed, and under military commund. Bhortly afterward two whits mea began to wrestle, and in the course of their scuflle they ran againat & lame biack man. fe asked themeivillyto “k“fl oft his lej The Republicans assert that th scufilo was & pretext to begin o riot. 1t is cer- tain that one of thie whites immediately accused the black mun of strikiog him, and then called Toudly for his shotgun, Another white man bee gan to fire his revolver. Tho blacks seatiered, or, a8 the phrase hero fs, they *gquandered.’ Tiicy ran ta the house of a colored man uear by, the only colored candidato on tho ticket. Ine atantly the cry was ralscd that they were rn- piug for their guus. In this houso thera wera four or fiva shotians, which had been kept there for soveral days, because threats had been made by personat cnemy—olso a colored man —to sct his cotton-gin on fire. Quick volloys wero fircd by the whites, Seven or cight negroea, wero killeds one white man was wounded, . This riot wonld seem to be a senselcss as well 2a brutal staughter—certainly rather s drunken than a political aftray—1f one could keep out of sight the stmulfaneous arrival of the armed men. The ncgroes had voteds the Democrats had sole control of the bollot-boxes. What benetit could conse from a riot In the eveningl In the morning a rlot might havo dispersed the voters; but now wnat political purpuse could it serve The Republicans say that it was intended to arouse the sulmoslty of race in order to prevont a fair count; for the friends of the Independent candidates were present b the polls, und they wauld have scen Lo it that thero was elther an honest return or a *‘regular” Democratle funeral. ‘Vhe ‘race fssuo ouce ralsed, even these men were powerless, if this was tho purposs, it was entircly suczessfut, for the parish aud this ward of it were returncd as having voted for the Bourbon brauch of the Democracys XIL Thus, In Caddo ond iu Tensas, by ralsing the race issues,—by threats and by the slaughter of the blacks,—Ui¢ Iudependent” Democrats were defeated, In Natchitoches the Democrats, by “charitably oxfling’ the Republicsn leaders, achleved the samo conclliatory results, By sim- {lar cxpodients io other parishies two members of Congruoas were sceurcd tn the strongest e publican districts of the Gull State.
