OU. bola NA: | The State at Peace, but Showing the Results of Tyranny. ARE REPUBLICANS SAFE?) Causes of Disorder and of Order. —— + ———_ j WHO ARE THE MURDERERS? | A friend writes me from the North this question, “Are wotte and black Union men safe in le, Itb- erty and prope. ty in Louisiana ? ‘That 1s the ques- | Won whica we of the North want to have honestly and seriously answered," Janswer:—First, the population of Louisiana is divided politically {nto republicans, called nere radicals; and democrats, called here conservatives. | They are ali Unton men, [tis absurd and wicked | to Keep ap the old war animosity by giving to | the Southern republicans the special title “Union men.” The repudlican party in Loutsiana contains a great many men who were bitter seces- | sionists, not only during, but alter the war, One ol the most conspicuous repudiicans, wi0 came before the Congressional Committee with com- plaints, anc who was proved there and then by documentary evidence to be a rogue, Judve Myers, of Natchitoches, was a Breckenridge demo. | crat belore tie war, Another, Green, who admit-— ted that he and bis sons heid pretty much all the offices in Lincoln parish, made a speech in the Legislature alter the war advocat- ing payment for slaves, Icvuld mention dozens | of such cases, On the other hand, in my limited acquain‘ance in the Staie, I know atleast fifteen | Northern men, who were strenuous republicans in the North, most of whom still openly act with the Nattonal republican party in federal elections, but who vote and use all their influence for the demo- cratic or conservative party in State and parish affairs. There are hundreds of such men tn the State. Even the republicans themselves are not fo absurd as to arrogate to themselves the title of “Union men.” They would be laughed at. THE NORTHERN MEN AND NEGROES SAFE? What my correspondent, and no doubt many other Northern men, want to know is whether Northern men and negroes are safe and can get | security and justice in Louisiana; and to this I re- ply, unhesitatingiy, “Yes.” lt 1s perfectly true, | asl said in a previous letter, that between 1865 — and 1868 there was a good deal of savage and brutal wrong !nflicted on blacks; and in the same | Feriod, and probably for a year or two later, Northern men who came here to take possession of the State politically, and who at once began a prodigious system of pnbiic plunder, were not always safe [rom the anger and resentment of tne native whites. But several of the most prominent republican politicians of the city have told me positively that the State was peaceable and quiet from 1868 to 1872, and that since then the whites had been dissatisfed mainly because they b iteved | sincerely that Kellogg waa not fairly elected Gov- ernor and that his role was thatof ausurper. If General Sheridan ever turns in nis famous list of 2,500 murders, and if he puts dates to them, tt will be found that the political murders happened | before 1868, with the exception of the Cousbatta and Colfax affair, Myers, the | corrapt Judge who clalins to have been driven out of Natchitoches parish assured me that that parish ‘was one of the most quiet in the State until 1874, when he and a swindling tax collector were driven out, New ORLKANS, April 28, 1875, | | | AN UNRCLY PARISH. This parish bas become so notorious as the most unruly in the State that I have taken some pains to ascertain the facts; because there, if anywhere, cution of Nortuern men and negroes woula be found. Now, then—First, an oMcial report, properly arthenticated, of the murdera committed im thts parish from 1868 to 1875 lies before me. They number forty-one, and of these there were | whites murdered by whites, 13; colored murdered by colored, 13; whites by colored, 4; colored by whites, 3; whites by an unknown person, 3; colored by nuknown, 1; colored by officers of jus- Mee in serving process, 3; Indian by a woite man, J. NOW somevody may object that the record is not correct, but to that the reply is that the par- ish has been wlmost continually since 1868 under | Republican oiMfcers, and that the Coroner ts re- puted bere as elsewhere, to be an officer very Zealous in the collection of fees. It 1s not credita~ ble to the republican rales, that for these 41 Romicides not one man has been hanged, and only one has been punished in any way, [should add that there ispo evidence that any Of tuese murders arose ont of political causes. Now, then, consider that the parish had for | years a corrupt Judge and a toleving tax collec- tor, who managed to get all bis sons into oMces and a police jury (county supervisors$ Made up mainiy of illiterate negroes. Governor Kellogg, (or instance, in 1874 appointed as police mrors three colored men who could neither read aor write, one white man of infamous character, | whomeven his ellow republicans publicly pro- | tested against, and one decent woite man. Under yocu rulers the parish tax, which amounted to | $13,475, With a valuation of $8,000,000 in 1860, rose | to $46,894 on a valuation of but $2,000,000 in 1869, | $54,902 In 1870, and in 1573 it rose to $82,207. This was the parish tax alone, exclusive of the State tax. The Supervisors allowed themselves one year fiity tents a mile mileage for every time they mor. They paid out $1,500 for a bridge which could nave | been built fur $300, and gave the con.ractora privilege to ‘evy toll upon it for his own use when it was built, The Parish Judge, Myers, acknowledged bejore the Congressional Commit- tee that ne bad for two years retained $7,500 of | parish money in his possession, in violation of an | order of @ District Court to return it to the Treasury; he refused repeatedly to draw | Juries, in order 10 shield his confederates; ana yet this person was appointed py | Governor Kellogg District Judge, a Wigher office. | The people formed @ taxpayers’ association aad warnea Myers and one of his comfederat wne Tax Collector Boult, to leave the parish. The sons of Boult to-day hold offices in the parish, but none | of them were killed. Myers and Bouit walk about | freely in New Orleans and are not molested; but | they tell fearful stories of intimidation and danger | to their lives, and call themselves “Cnion men,” | fhe Taxpayers’ Association was composed of repablicans well as democrats, and Yad among 8) members 200 negroes. Myers calls it & white league, of conrse, and talks Shout intimidation of repubiican voters, but the | pMciai returns of the registration aod election | ow these fgures:—The parish had by the | sensus of 1870 7,312 whites ang 10,929 blacks.

Of the 3,605 who registered 3,131 actually voted, and | the republicans carried the parish by 315 major- ity. It was shown that many negroes voted with whe conservatives, and many others stayed at wome, because they were disgusted witu the theft of the wenool fund. A PRACEPUL PARISH. Ihave taken Natchitoches as an example, be- cause i hasan especially evil reputation. Con trast with this a parish in which the republicans bave given the people an honest and economical government, aud where there bas been no «is- varba here are but four or five honestly toverned parisues in tue State, I happen to ve Weil informed about one of these, Tensas, like Natebitoches, a cotton pianting country, and with + large preponderance of negroes.

Surely the story of these two,parisbes tells the reason why discontent and sometimes disorder are jound in parts of Louisiana, “It is not the pose,” sald more than one conservative to me, And [ believe thisto be the troth. I have not time to wancer all over the State; butI nave ex- | amined every care where I have heard of com- plaints of especial hostility to republicans, and in every case 1 have found that there had been gro: and long continued misgovernment, extrava- gance, denial of justice and tolerance of disorder. by the courts. J was told, fur instance, that Madie 800 parish was ‘not a picasant place for a repub- lican.’? Very well. Iflnd that in tour years—from 1868 to 1872—the reconstructors ran up a debt in this parish of over $142,000. Tnis parish had, in 1870, by the census, only 936 white persons. I¢ registered lo 1874 only 255 white voters and 2,135 backs, The few whites were, of course, the owners of almost ali the property. Such mon- strous mismanagement, borne by so few taxpay- ers, might very weil create ili-feeling and strif but the parish gaye, in 1874, 1,614 repubtican ma- jority, and the vote ran bat fifty-flve short of the registration. Intimidation 1s, of course, out of the question. LOUISIANA MURDERS, In the Norvh we have heard so much about mur- ders that 1 was very glad co get hold here of some parish statistics on this subject. The State govern- ment, which has almost entirely neglected to punish murderers—being too busily engaged in stealing—has, of course, no such official retarus of | crime as it ought to possess, 1 have peen able to obtain returns, chiefly made by county clerks ard coroners, from only thirteen parishes, not counting | Plaquemine, which | have before given. From 1363 to 1875 there have been In these thirteen parishes 318 murders, Of these ninety-three were of whites | by whites, 143 were of colored by colored, twenty- elght were of whites by colored, thirty-two colored by whites, three colored by officers of justice, flve colored by persons unknown, seven whites by un- known, five whites by mobs and five colored by mobs. The State has flity-seven parisnes. Must | ol the thirteen of whicn I bave given returns | have a population nearly equally divided between white and black, and I saspect the figures give | more than an average number of mur- | dera of waltes by whitesand less than ibe average of murders of blacks by blacks. Plaque mine, for instance, not counted in the above list, registered, in 1874, 510 white and 2,160 biack voters, and there | {vund that tifere had been since | 1868 33 murders, of which 31 were of blacks by | blacks. There is good evidence for the statements that the large majority of murders iu the State in the last six years are of bDiacks by black: ins! ted by whiskey and lousy. The negroes drink le: whiskey this year than two or three years ago, when they were getting much higher wages; but their demand Jor It 1s so strong that I find the planters generally seil it to them in the littie plantation stores, having dis- covered that If they did not their hands would be running off elsewhere to get it, or some negro would peddle it in the cabins. The piantation ne- groes commonly carry a razor as a concealed weap- | on, and, absurd as this seems as a Weapon Of attack, they inflict serious and often fatal wounds wich | it. The razor seems to be their favorite weapon | elsewhere also, for 1 found it so in Delaware. | ‘They take to it probably because tt 1s tne cheapest weapon with a keen edge. It is not only a fact thatcrime has not been | punished tm the State under the republican rule— | neither crime against the person nor against | property—but there 18 @ great complaint that the | | pardoning power has been abused. I have found | but one return on the subject, which shows cer- liberal use of this prerogative. January 1, 1873, to March 5, 1874, | Governor Kellogg pardoned thirteen muraerers— | almost one & month—besides six men convicted of | manslaughter. The whole number of pardons | auring tuis period was eighty-iour, and among | the offences thus condoned are poisoning, rape, | shooting into ® dwelling, burglary, assault | wisent to kill, ‘perjury and bribing | witnessess. Now, when society 1s said to | be by Governor Kellogg in a . disordered | state, and when he himself acknowledges. he did to me, that crime 18 bot generally punispea, | surely it is # serious error to pardon with so freea | hand persons convicted of such grave and dan- gerous crimes as I have mentioned. it cannot fail to socrease disorder, Unhappily it cannot | bring the courts {nto greater contempt than their | | geperal corruption ana inefficiency all over the State, and fromthe lowest to the highest, has already brought upoo them.
