The Reign or Terror lu doorjjla.
A native Ooraian thus describe! tbe state of
ff..iT4 tn his tita e: .
The work of massacring and murdering loyal
Wen goes bravely on tins S'ate, without moles
tation by either civil or uuluary authorities.
Whenever a man 1b murdered, In either day or
nikht, aboat toe only mention that U made of it
liDj toe Associated Pres in their despatch's,
and they bave astereotvped expression in giving
publicity to tbtse mons'rous aa-'asstuations,
thus: "Mr. was killed at by men,
aur! tor murderer escaped without beiner recog
nized," vblch. if truUifuUv told, would rend
thus: "The murderers escaped without belug
an csti d."
Last Saturday, the 17lh los.. the Republicans
had a meeting "ut fllonticello Curt lloabe, Jai
pur conniY, which was addressed Dy tieore
Walls-ce (colored), late Siato fceoitor from tue
Twntiftb. r'enat rial district; Tlittnaa M. Allen
(oo'ored), late State KepreseniaUve from Ja-per
county, aud others. That night Wallace s-oppsd
with Allen In the county, at his re-idcnce. anJ
durirg tbe tight a number ol the Ku-Klux
Klun called them, and eaid that they were out
hunting opossums, that their torchlight bad
pone out. ai.d asked Allen to give them another.
Allen's brothor in-law. a co.cred Jian, got up
promptly to give them a light, attempting to j
pass it out at a winnow; out, ai, uju
ment when tbe window wan opeued, he was
pierced by two balls,wbich killed him lnstuntly.
The murderers, as the Associated Press pays,
escaped without being recognized." TUeir
object evidently was to kill Allen, bU offense
being his political prominence with his own
people. They could have had no other chhc,
as be is a man ot excellent moral character
and a minister of the (iopel. Hut tbe man
whom they killed was not even a politician
In any seusc of the word, but a quiet, in
offensive person who did not medalc with
politics1.
A few days previous an old colored man,
Charles Turner, of Henry county, Ueoieia, was
killed by unknown person", and they too
"ei taped wi'tiout being leconized." Turner
was muiderod without tbe leat provocation in
the wi rld. The citizens of Henry county after
wards held a public meeting, in which they
passed resolutions pretending to denounce the
oulrige. hut tbe rerolutious are not worth the
paper they are written or printed on, so loug as
the currtii al principle ot tbe Democratic paay
in the South are tbe dirk, gun, aud pistol.
Tbe Murders iu Louisiana.
In accordance with a resolu ion of the General
Assembly, passed July 30, 18G8, a Committee
was appuitited to iuvestiaate ''the conductor
the late elections, and tho condition of peace
and order In the S ate." The com-niUee have
recently made their rerort. which reveals a
state of affairs unparalleled in any civilized
country, and disgraceful to the age in which we
live.
The report occupies C5 pages 8vo, nnd con
tains a detailed account of the murders, maim
ing, whipping, and outraees ot every descrip
tion that nave been lattlv inflicted on both
white and colored men. These stat men's are
in many instances supported by atlidavit lu
others they are confirmed by the odicers In the
Freedmen's Burean but in niauy instances the
retgn ot frrorKm is abjolu'e, aDd the very per
sons injured, us well as the witnesses of tho
outrages, were convinced that were tbey to
testily in that regard, their lives would surely
be taken.
The report contains a list of 204 persons
kilkd vti'.uiu t'jc pa-t few mcnlhs, aud of 61
wounded and 143 assailed.
1 n Jefferson parish several cusps of outrage
and rnunler have been reported, but not spe
cially deBtiite as to character or number. In
Girroll parish numerous rou'dTS of whites
jnd bi-i.-ks are reported. In Madison parish Rob
ert Gurlis is killing black men, buruloir.
houses, and murdering Republicans. Tbe
bodies of murdered negroes bave been found in
various places in Bossier parish. Six addi
tional outraees are reported at Natchitoches,
but the properly authenticated detad have not
jet ccme to hand'. In Caddo parish severul
colored men bave been murdered and hung at
Oreeewood and other parts of the parish. In
Morehouse the uinrrler of necroes is of daily
occurrence. The Hon. W. Jasper black bum,
M. C, a most bonoratlc and independent geu
tKrran, who-e principles ha ire always been
cens dered too conservative by the radical
party, hal his premises attacked in his absence
from bom, and his press at Homer, Claibiroe
parish, where be published the Ho ner Had,
utterly destroyed, and bis type distributed m
tne rouds.
The l u fledg ed Kn TClnx of South Caro
lina, A native of South Carolina writes to an emi
nent physician of New Tork as follows:
"At the great Democratic meeting here, I saw
boys hardly entered upon their teens with a
pistol in oue pocket and a bottle of whisky in
th i other, d tmnlng the radicals, and threateu
injf to shoot niggers. The negroes very sensibly
k 'pt out of the way. I bad never fully realized
a itil that day what a drunken people we are,
e neel illy tbe joung men. It is rare on such
days to see oue entirely sober attt-r he has
been in town long enough to get drunk.
I was talking U a substantial
Democrat to-dav, who believes that Grant will
be elected, und that tho peaceable citizens wilt
be disposed to submit, lint, he says that 'all
hell cannot conliol our young men and bovs.
They will commit outiaees; the military will be
sent here, aud will punish, tbe innocent aud
drive them to sUe with tt e outlaws.' This is a
picture of the state ot affairs in one place in the
up-country, abisu it, I dare 6ay, a fuir specimen
ot all. I huve met with a number ot proinnient
men here from tbe upper counties, aud they
agree U.at there is no assurance of safety tor
any inn ahois suspected of sympathy with tbe
lt.'publicau party."

"General McCloilnn's letter to tbe Union
Brjnare meellUK, following ills few words at the
reception, weie not very vgreeanle to the Demo
cratic leaders la tills neigboorbood. Tue Uene
rl waa one of the 'reserves' of which we huve
latterly heard, but bis coming up was neither
sn aid nor a consolation. The candidate or lrtttl
declined to take part in Ibe election or 1S63, and
while he said thai he sbomd vole for Heymour
and fiUIr, he very peremptorily rejeoled a sub
slanllal part of tbe platform.
'The soldiers wuo liked McClellan, and mtny
of whom regretted to see nlm lu Ibe hands of
unscrupulous and designing politicians, have
firobobly Bten wltu ploaaure the quiet manm-r
n which he says to these manugeis, 'Hnndsoil,
gentlemen. If you please.' Those soldiers cau
not ceat e to regret tbe want of will or of percep
tion which made him four years ao the can
didate of a party whose snccess would have
ruined the country; and they niuHimniletosee
him now demaudlng thai, the public lultb he
henoiahly kept to the uttermost, aud Rluiulli
neously saying that be shall vole for the o-indl-dates
of renudiallon. But. ho la au extremely
vivacious Democrat who finds ooinlort In tho
Ktterof General McClellan.
''There is something, however, whlon raiy
not be known to tlie Boys In Blue, nor to tbe
country. It Is, that if the General shows him
self very cool towards his lute political miina
gers. they have abown very little wariniii f r
him. They thlok. Indeed, that they have
'made him,' forgcttlDg mat In 1801 tbey hoped
to Men 1 Into power under cover of his popu
larity. Tbe JJemncratle party fonnd Gduerul
McClellan a very conspicuous and popular man
whether Justly or net is not now tbe ques
tion. It nominated him for the Prealdency
with a platform upon which he stood protest
ing not a winning or dignllied attitude for any
man. lis nomluutton, of course, drew upon
him the tremendous criticism of a hot po.lticil
campaign, and he was left at the end with,
scarcely an electoral vote, nnd fallen immeasur
ably In pnbllo favor from t he position be held
wben he left tbe command of tbe Army of the
l'otomao. lie withdrew to Europe, and from
publio observation.
"But certainly If anybody ought to have been
grateful to him It was Horatio Heymour, tne
1'renldent of tbe Convention that nominated
blm. and the Democratic managers, lie had
racrifleed for tbem what he can never again.
What had tney done for him 7 His name was
still popular among tbe great mass of the De
mocratic! voters, lie was tnelr last national
representative man, and it was but natural and
fair that at their next National Assembly they
should at least mention his name Willi grati
tude and regard. With that feeling resolu
tions ot greeting and honor to General Mc'Jlel
lan were prepared to be offered In the Coaven
lion. Tbe party would send to its late levJer a
word of respect and remembrance across the
ocean. But the Convention was managed by
theJnte Uebels. Tbe name of McCieilau had
some odor of loyalty to the Union. Its Intro
duction might make trouble. It might arouse
Inconvenient enthusiasm upon lire part of some
of tbe members. And so tne President of the
Convention, Mr. Horatio tioymour, kept the
resolutions in his pocket, aud the observant
reader of the proceedings will remark: the
cartful and significant silence in regard to the
late candidate.
"The claims of the party managers upon a
man in General MoCleilau'sposltlouare, under
the circumstances, ridiculous. The men who
suppressed the resolutions of compliment In
Tarn many Hall were very willing to have
General McClellan preside at their great meet
ing. But neither the General nor bis best
friends could see either tbe claim or tbe pro
priety, and he coolly declined. Ills bntanotber

party, under its Southern leadership, wbleli
nominated Seymonr Just as it nominated
Pierce und Buchanan, does not bold even its
own partlHHna. II la dlHtrustea by Its support

course,' said a life-long Democrat the other
day, 'because I've always been a Democrat.
But if tbe result depended upon my vote, I
should vote for Grant.' And If all who really
hope that Grant will be elected should vote for
Mm, the Southern leaders who are managing
tbe Democratic party would see how tbe he irt
of the country really trusts the General whose
life and character and prlnolples all s.y 'Let us
have peace."
HAMPTON'.
Ill Advice to the Negroes.
A great Democratic barbacue was got up at
Columbia, 8. C, on the 10th Instant, to receive
Mr, J. t. Adams, of Massachusetts. Mr, Adams
did not arrive, however, and tue crowd was en
tertained by Uoveruor Perry, Wade Hampton,
and othern. General Hampton tnus addressed
tbe negroes:
I advise you to vote the Demoeratlc ticket, for,
as I have said everywhere, I believe thai not
only vhe welfare but tbe safety of tbe negroes
depends upon the success of tho Democracy. If
the radicals are succesHfnl, their fate must he
that of tbe Indians. If you do not wish to vote
the Democratic ticket, if you do not thins: you
understand tbe question, stay away from the
polls. Trust the matter lottie white tmu wnom
you know. We will see that you are secure lu
all your rights. You shall be equal to the
while man before tbe law. For tuat we are
willing; but we will never consent Mint you
sball be superior to tbe wlrtie man. We will
give you your rights; but we huve some
ligbtsof ourown.ani we Intend to maintain
tbem. I will tell these colore I people
bow much it is to their interest to go
with tbe Democrats. We know that if
tbe radicals succeed we will be ruined, and
we will not be able to hire the negroes. If you
want to vole the radical ticket you must go to
the scalawags and carpet-baggers for employ
ment. Tell ihem to pay your wages. You are
free. When you Join Demootulio clubs we
shan't ask you to swear to vote for anybody that
a phi eel of dirty scalawags may nominate. You
ore free to vote according to your liking. Now,
I don't tell you that you must vote the Demo
cratic ticket; but I warn you that if you vote
tbe radical ticket you wideu tbe breach bs
tween tbe while men and yourselves. I advise
all my fi lends to keen their contracts to tue
letter; but next year tell all ihoao negroes who
vote tne radical ticket to go borne totiieir
masters, the radicals, and get employment and
support Irom them.

The 2Vi6un will dome tbe Justloe to correal
tbe reoort of a speech attributed to me at the
Chicago Convention In lKtil, referred to in an
editorial of October 'ii. lu It I aw reported as
iylns that I deslrrd the death ot President

It was reported In the Chicago THmet ai my
speech. I oo not know wuo uiude It. It was
not my style nor my matter. During tnat
Convention I was advertised among score of
kpeakets, and fonnd myself reported as making
these remarks. They were made perhaps by
someone else, not by me. I promptly mala
tbe correction at tbe time, aud have done It
since. Bnt the correction has never been n -tired
by those who impute to me these remarks.
Another correction I desire made. Before I
ever voted or engaged In politics, I wrote a
volume of travels a Juvenile performance of
seventeen years ago. In it, on the Information
of one In authority, I made grossly erroneous
statements as to the ritual and personnel of the
Catholic ecclesiastics at 11 tue. I desire, with
out end before any compulsion, to say that I
corrected these unreliable statements Kits'.

McKwen, of Essex county, authorizing tnt

auihorltles for trial Charles Anderson aud
Frank Reno, the two alleged robbers. Mr.
Pinkerton, his detectives, and employes,
as soon as they were released from ntleudnnee
at an examination at Sandwich, made arrange
ments to bring tbe prisoners across the river.
Tbey were evidently afraid that au attempt
would be made to rescue them, but there did
not appear to be any good grounds for sup
posing anything ot the kind, in tho minds of
sensible people. Tbe Express Company, upon
representations that great secrecy must be ob
served, hired the tug Seneca to convey Heao
nnd Anderson to some convenient point in the
United Slate.
"L C. Weir, who had been deputed to aot for
the United States, proceeded on tue tu'i to Sand
wich, and after dark the prisoners, heavily
ironed, were taken on board. Many parsons,
both in Windsor and Sandwich, assembled to
see the prisoners depart, and there were also
present a squad of Doraluiou police, armed,
about ten or fifteen of Pinkertou's men, and a
guard from this side of tbe river. Tnere was
also a guard on tbe tug. Sheriff McKwen de
Uvtred Beno aud Anderson to Mr, Weir, aud
alter 1 he change had taken place the tug was
ordered to proceed up tbe river Into Laki St.
Clair, which she did, aud came down the Cana
dian channel. When she reacted a point
nearly opposite the Detroit Water Works she
was run into by a propeller and sunk. Air.
Weir, with his prisoners, took another mode of
conveyance, and ere this they nrn in Iudianu.
"Considering the fact that a Vigilance Com
mittee existed, who had sworn to summarily
execute Keno and Anderson should they be
taken to IiiOiana, those meu and their friends
expected to bebnng in case of tbelrextrudition.

The Brenhsm Banner, a Rsbel organ In
Texas, prints on the 1st instant a letter Irom lu
New Orleans correspondent, whom it indorses
ss 'so situated as to be thoroughly posted in
matters wbeteot be writes,' and says: "If no

the struggle comes they will reap the whirlwind
as surely as they have sown the wlud. Their
days are numbered,"
Senator Trumbull asked, in a reoentsneeoh,
"Who Is it that, complains of these reconstruc
tion measures? Do the Union men of the
South complain f Not one of them. Too whole
comrdalnt comes from the Kebels meu who
really have no right to take part In tue Gov
ernment, and who, so far from complaining
that some of them are disfranchised, ought to
thank God that tbey are permitted to live and
walk on I he earth."
The Democrats say Grant hns no poller.
The General has recently taid: "This muoh I
wish, and 1 deolare this to he my policy that
such a decree of pence and tranquillity shall
exlct in this country that a man may speak his
mind in any part of our great land, and that
without molestation or hindrance." This is
tbe policy tbe country wants, and what it will
have under Grant's administration.
Some of tbe Rebel Democrats are beeoming
wise by bitter experience. The Knoxvilie
(Tenn.) Prrts says they may thank the Ku Klux
Klansnd General Forrest for their defeat iu
the October elections, and adds that, had they

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Nashville, Oct. 29. A careful review of the
situation in Tennessee indicates that in tho elec
tion next Tuesday the Republicans will carry
the State by 20,000. It is even doubtlul if the
Democrats will elect a single Congressman,
although in five of the districts there are two
Republican candidates, and the war between

DISASTER.
Kinking; 'of a Steamer In the Missis
sippi. Tho New Orleans Picayune of the 23th Inst.,
gives the followiug:
Captain T. P. Leathers, of the 111-fated steamer
General Quitman, dropped In noon us list
evening, 1 oklug as hale and cheery as to. uj!i
bis beautiful pet steamer were lying Rllrl jrt
ut the landing, iustead of llrtyloet below the
turbid waters of the Mississippi.
He related in his brief manner the cause of
tbe disaster. Tbe Quitman bad rounded to at
New Texas Landing about 11) 3 o'clock ou
Thursday moruing, 10 take on uoard freight
and passengers. As Is usual, the boat's stern
was ruu lu tbe mud which at Hits point Is
blue and of a most tenacious character aud
a gang plank was run out to the bank. Tua
wind and current swept the steamer's stem
down stream, and the captain siys ha felt
tbe slight shock as tbe vessel's bow was
boine against tbe fatal snag, which as It turned
nut must bave entered her side at that lime.
Kveryiblng being on board, tbe captain
ordered the pilot to back tbe steamer, but wltb
111. first rvTUlutlvu uf Ih tru..l. 0n.9to.a9,
leering noise was beard, and tue male called
to the oapialn to stop her, saying b9 beard the
water rushing in below. The wheels were
(topped, and Captain Leathers ran down to
ascertain tbe cause of tbe trouble. He found
onopeulog the batch forward that an immense
Volutnn of wsler was bursting through the
hole made by the snag, and knew that the ves
sel WuuiU sink bef ire anything could ba done
10 su p ibe leak, doing on the boiler desk, be
ordered about tweuiy freedmen, who were
passengers, to get ashore at once, which they
proceeded to do without regard to the order of
their going, literally rolling down stairs. Tne
caplaln walked quietly back into tne
Isdies cabin, and iu a culm manner told them
to collect tbeir valuables, luggage, etc.. and
eo Bfhoie as soon us possible, as the vessel was
sinking. Tbere were some eighty oabiu pas
sengers on, board, many of them ladles, aud
two of them brides on a bridal trip; aud it is
somewhat remarkable that every one was
saved, together with every piece of baggage.
To use the captain's expression, be "maruuied
tueni ashore as quietly aud orderly as a fund
lal." Tbe baggxge was piled up on tbe bank
and placed uuutr guard, and tbe steamer made
fast by chains aud hawsers to stumps, eio. In
five minutes from the time the Quitman landed
at the levee she sunk, so that some idea may be
bad of the rapidity wltb whinh everything was
done, t s has been stated before, tbe passengers
aud crew arrived bere yesterday on the steamer
Celeste, which boat passed the wreck two hours
after tbe disaster.
The steamer National went up to the Quitman
yesterday, to assist in saving her cargo.
IMP ORTANT DECISION.
Responsibility of Parties Destroying
Cotton During; the War.
From the Natchez Democrat, Oct. 20.
The suit of Washington Ford vs. James Sur
get, lately decided lu the Adams County Court,
Involved questions of so great lmportauoe as to
make It ol interest to most of our readers. In
May, 1802, when the appearanoe of the Federul
licet in tbe Mississippi river endangered pro
petty bordering tbe banks, Mr. A. R. Farrar.
then Prove st Marshal of Adams county, issued
orders commanding Jamej Surgut, Deputy Pro
vost Maisnal, to destioy all cottou lying upon
the Adams county bank of the river aud lu
such proximity as to be in danger of falling
into the bauds of the enemy. Iu pursuance
of this order, Mr. Burget burued tue eo'tou
of several planters. Mr. Washington Ford
had 2U0 bales wlihla a short distance of tno
river in this county. This cotton Mr. Burget
destroyed. Just after ibe surrender, Mr.
Ford brought suit against Mr. Burget for
Sll'0,000, being tLe estimated value of tbe
2UU hales of ootton at that time. At the two
previous terms of this oourt the cause was
argned on ueinurrers. Iu both cases the demur
rers were overruled by the court. At this lime
ttie case was tried unon fa merits. Ueneral W.
T. Marl In, Judge Josluli Winchester, aud Ralph
North were counsel for Mr, Hut'gut, I he defend
ant: Judge Ulram Caa'duy and W, F. Mtllen
lor Mr. Ford, the plaintlif. The trial occupied
a couklderable time, and was argned with great
ability on both sides. The cso was submitted
to I he Jury Fi iday evening. The Jury remained
in their room during Friday night, und ou .Sat
urday moining reported tuat It was impossible
for tbem to axree upon a vordlct. They were
sent back by tho Judge, and alter further con
sideration, brought a verdict for the defendant,
thus deciding, so f.tr as this court is coucerned,
one of tbe most Important quest iona arising
out of tbe late war. We understand the counsel
for the plaictift have glveu notice of an appeal
to tbe 1110 Court of MlsliHlppi, and intend to
carry the case to tbe United Utates Supreme
Court if necessary.
