The Late Eebellion in Louisiana.
In November, 187:2, a State election
was held in Louisiana. John McEuer;
and Woi. P. Kellogg were the candi
dates for the Governorship of the State.
The fraaJ-i and violence that character
ized all clcrtior down there since Re
bellion against National authority were
etranslv marked at that election. In
Testation developed the fact that bo.1. '
parties practiced in that work exten
givelv. The Kellogg rar'y became the
authority of the State within the forms
prescribed by law, and as such admin
istered the Government. It is the only
legitimate State authority there, and
must exist uutil superceded by the
election of another State administra
tion. The McEaery people, however, have
all tho while pronounced it a fraud, an
usurpation, and failed utterly to under
stand that they must "bide their time"
for redress at the ballot-box at the next
election They secretly organized and
armed what is called The White
League," aLd oa Monday a week arose
in rebellion, alter tLe nian'ier of the
Mexicans, and drove the Kellogg gov
ernment out of office, and seized the
Stats government and placed it in
charge of Mr. Penn, the Lieutenant
Governor, who was to hold it in charge
for McEucry, until the revolution should
be complete. It was deemed proper
by tbo "White League" not to intrust
McEaery with the affairs of State until
the new order of things had been fairly
established, as be is in the habit of
getting drunk, and is not reliable in
such emergencies.
Immediately preceding Kcllogg's
abandonment of the government be de
spatched to Washington, to the Gen
eral Government, relating the facts of
rebellion against the State govern
ment of the State of Louisiana, and bis
ntter inability to quell it without as
sistance from the Government of tbt
United States. This call, being made
in consonance with Constitutional
provisions providing for such emergen
cies in State affairs, President Grant
promptly responded by ordering the
insurgents, " turbulent and disorderly
persons to disperse and retire peaceably
to their respective abodes within five
days, and submit themselves to the
law and constituted authorities of the
State." Troops were sent to the State
to enforce this order in case of a fail
to heed it tn the part of the insurgents.
By Saturday, however, the State au
thority had again been returned to
Kelingg, and the trouble is ouce more
at an end. Many lives were lost by
this late murderous demonstration of
tbo "White League."
The South seems to have as little re
gard for the forms of law now as in
1800, and, if she had the power, would
change the administration of affairs as
they change them in Mexico and South
America. There is no security for
peace outside of Republicau rule.
General Wister.
General Laughorn Wister, nomina
ted at MilSintown, cn Tuesday last, as
the Republican candidate for Con
gress in the Eighteenth district, con
sisting of the counties of Franklin, Ful
ton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Perry, and
Snyder, is a native of this city a son
of William Wister, of Uenuantown,
li eg the treasurer of the North Penn
sylvauia Railroad, aud a biother of
cur well ktotvn tcwm-uian, William
Rotch Wister.
Langhorn Wister, who is searcely
n.ore than thirty-nice years of age,
established bis residence at Duocannon
Perry county, upon attaiuing his ma
jority, and has lived there ever sinee.
For a number of years be was exten
sively engaged in the manufacture of
iton, but laterly bis sole occupation
Las been farming. In 1861 be raised
a military company, and was assigned
to the celebrated "Buckieil" regiment,
commanded by the late Colonel Charles
i. Biddlc. lie participated ia the
several engagements of tLi body corn-
mencing at Drainsville, and in the
Sevendavs' battle received alight
wound. Upon the organization of the
150th Regiment Pennsylvania Volun
teers, in 18G2, Governor Cartin ten
dered the eommand to Mf. Wister,
which was promptly accepted. This
regiment did duty for a time in the
neighborhood of Washington, but in
18C3 was ordered to the field and took
part in tho struggle at Gettysburg.
Here General Wister, who commanded
a brigade, waa shot in the cheek, the
ball making its exit at hie month. He
was breveted brigadier general for gal
lant conduct, which was followed, near
the close of the war, by the brevet of
major general. We are pleased to learn
that the nomination of General Wister
has been received with great satisfac
tion by the Republicans of the Juniata
Valley anJ the oil er localities con
cerned, and predict his election, and
that he will be a creditable and useful
representative. Press.
Third Tern Agitations,
The Pittsburg Gizttlt discourses
under the heading of this article as
follows : Variius circumstances con
spire to fill suspicious persous with the
for that there is an agitstim in behalf
of a tLird Presidential term, which may
be precipitated into an organized move
ment whm the proper time arrives.
The assumption is that the President,
through his friends, is quietly sounding
public opinion on the su'ijuet, and that
action will be based ou the develop
ments readied. The Washington Re
publican, reputedly an organ of the
President's, is arguing the question, as
one of abstract righr, quite earnestly.
Hence it is assumed the President has
given it the cue. His frifliid are de
clared to talk it in his presence, aud
prominent officials, specially intimate at
the White House, are outspoken Third
Tormists. Secretary Bristow is re
ferred to as an astute politician, and in
favor of this idea. This is tho case as
made against him.
On the other hand, intimate friends
prw,idellf MJ L ;8 not , C4U(H
date for a Third Term aud will not ac
cept nomination if it is offered him.
He is declared to be already forecast
ing preparations for his Lome life at the
close of his present term. Certainly
he has made no utterance that fastens
him to the Third Term theory. So
much for rumors and count, i-rumors.
Iu the meantime, we do not see that
the discussion of Third Tciicism as au
abstract theory will be attended with
any barm. General Grant aside, is it
desirable, considered merely as an in
novation upon existing customs, to es
tablish the ThirJ Term as available to
a popular President J The right to re
nominate aud elect a man three, four,
or half a dozen times, is indisputable.
There are no Constitutional restrictions
to this. It is simply a matter of choice
ith the people. And it is absurd to
talk about the spirit of the t onstitu
tion, as bearing on this subject. It has
no spirit about it. The whole matter
reverts to the pleasnre of the people.
It simply will be violative of the law
of customs to elect for more than two
term?, but nothing more.
Putting aside, however, even this,
and looking at the subject in the light
of its own merits, and we fail to see
any god reason why a Third Term
should be granted to any man. Such
a course will not le.-scu party strife,
nor serve to give stability or perma
nency to our institutions. Tho strength
of cur institutions does not consist in
this. Wheuever the time arrives that
the central government is the sole re
liance for permanency to our iustitu
tions, we will be far on our way to Im
perialism or the monarchy. The peo
ple constitute our bond of strength ;
and the lodgment of power with the
people must ever be the guidance of
our permanency. Lincoln's Govern
ment was a mere rope of sand, at the
outbreak of the rebcllioa ; but the pur
pose of the people to resist all attempts
to destroy this Union made us strong
not merely against rebel hosts, bnt
threatening Europe as well.
Admit this idea, and the Presidency
is a mere phase or incident iu onr Gov
ernmental life, important, yet tribu
tary to the sovereign will of the peo
ple. The strength or weakness of the
Presideucy has never been the test of
national strength or growth. The Mex-
icau war was fongbt under one of the
weakest executives the country ever
had. The Kansas fight, embodying
that between slavery and freedom, was
carried forward under an adminis
tration fastened to tbe glare cause, yet
liberty triumphed. In every great
crisis of our national history, except, in
part, the rebellion, the Government
bas been of little value, and tbe people
everything. To say, now that the peo
ple have cemented the Union with their
blood, that we need, aud are in danger
if we do not have, a particular execu
tive continued in office permanently, is
an insult to the intelligence and char
acter of the American people. They
can change the Government officials
from top to bottom, and no harm will
follow.
The idea can never be admitted that
one particular person is necessary to
the maintenance of free institutions.
At the present we ean think of a half
dozen persons who could fill the Presi
dential office acceptably. Nor is it to
be overlooked, that repeated elections
of one man serve to tempt tbe Presi
dential incumbent to seek to perpetuate
bis power. President Grant has done
well, and can leave office with the es
teem of tbe people ; and we have tbe
faith that he is not an aspirant for a
Third Tern in the Presidential office.

In bis speech at Memphis the other
day, Jefferson Ltavia spoke as follows :
"Every Southern man in his memory
runs back to the negro woman who
nursed bim ; to the boy who hunted
and fished with bim ; to the man who
first taught him to rid and swim ; and
as he grew to niacbood, the cordial
welcome given him by the old nurse,
with a tenderness scarcely inferior to
that of Lis own mother." These sen
timents were heartily applauded by the
audience; and yet Jefferson Davis, and
probably every other man who was
present, is bitterly opposed to the
Civil Rights bill, because it proposes
to make possible the association of
black children and white children iu
the schools. It is rather difficult for
us to perceive why a man who was
suckled by black woman whom he
remembers with affection, and who re
calls with delight the time when he
went fishing and swiuituitg with negro
boys, sbould regard with horror the
possibility of a white child's sitting in a
school room wi.b a young negro. There
is no greater tendency toward social
equality in the latter case than in tha
former, ami as Southern children make
playfellows of the blacks now precisely
as they used to do, it would appear to
be the very iniauitj of prejudice to
insist that the school system shall be
broken np rather than that the two
races shall receive instruction together.
The explanation of the mutter is that
these people are opposed to the educa
tijn of the blacks under auy aircuiu
stauoes ; and they make this promise
of the possibility of mixed school tLe
absurd excuse for displaying their eu
uiity. Phila. Bulletin.

It wa told of old that tbe cackle of
a goose once saved Romo. It is now
related tiiat a swallow won a suit iu
court away down in Texas. A poor
widow and her daughter had s suit for
damages before a court in Houston.
Tbe counsel for the plaintiff introduced
into bis pleading the fable of tbe swal
low that built her nest and reared ber
young under tbe eaves of the temple of
justice. The lawyer enlarged upon the
swallow's trust in the protection of her
home the place afforded, and very aptly
made the application to the case before
the court. When the counsel was
about finishing bis illustritioa a swal- I
low actually flow in the room and
alighted npon the judge's desk. It then
hopped away and found rest for the sole
of its foot on the railing of the jury
box. In its circuit of the court-room
it halted awhile on a pile of law books,
then hovered a moment over the heads
of the plaintiffs, and flew out of the
window and away. The counsel con
cluded by saying,1' Behold the witness,"
and as the witness could not be called
back by the opposing counsel, the case
was given to the jury pretty much as
the swallew left it. Tbe jury could
not ignore tbe bird's evidence, and gave
a verdict for the widow. Tbe story is
a little birdy, but not in the least fishy.
If it was a preconcerted plan of tbe
lawyer it was very happily arranged
and nicely carried out, and deserves a
place among court rep arts and curious
pleadings. Ex.

about $50,000, principally in currency.
Returning with Mr. Robinson to bis

family facing each other, and told them
to converse freely. They took from the

$800, kissed Mrs. Rob inson, wbo faint
