A hundred of the most prominent citizens of
Na'W Orleans, headed by Judge Crmphell, ers
an associate Justice of the IT. 8. Supreme Court
have arrived at Washington and had an inter
view with the President, with respect to t
Ijnusinna troubles. Thus far they have
feoled nothing. ' The President U evidently not
disposed to give them much satisfaction. While
hedenic any parpose to interfere with the lo-
yen! affair of the State, he permtta his military
to ride roughshod over the rights of the people.
.It is aaid this committee of citizens will issue
nn address to the people of the United States,
w tllng forth all the facts and tho Jaw in the
rise; and also that an appeal will be made to
Coi.gress, il the President refuses to take steps
to restore order.

MESSRS. LOVE AND MUMPIIREY.
These gentlemen, members of the Legislature,
and the self-styjed leaders of the faction opposed
to Gov. Vance, if the fact that they only signed
the card or 'defence'' of their political perfidy
to the Conservative party may be regarded as
evidence of their leadership have made a scur
rilous attack upon Vance with the hope, we mp-
pose, of cementing the discordant elements of
the Conservative party. Their three column
and a half cartljar defense must and will be re
garded by the public in the light- of an attempt
to justify bolting and the action of bolters, forit
U nothing more nor less, if our judgment is not
defective. It is simply an effort to elevate and
justify treason to party organization, and if they
can succeed, the party organization is at once
destroyed. It is impossible for the Conserva
tive party to compete with, or make headway
against the Radicals, without the strickest party
descipline and the utmost submission to the will
of a majority. It is essential to harsaony and
success that we have conventions and caucuses
to make nominations and transact other impor
tant business for the party, and It is also essen
tial that an universal acquiescence be given to
the action of such conventions and caucuses.
But the action of the faction led by the above
named gentlemen, is at war with conventions,
with the decisions of majorities, &c. These gen
tlemen have been guilty of the grossest insubor
dination 8nd if their attempt to over-ride the
trac'wra of which the Era complains were tnen
who axe aow good Radicals, and who, we have
reaseh to believe, hive com i plained through that
paperefthe treatment which they but ashort time
since insiJed should be meted out: to other.
Should such people not have the privilege and
esteem of every social circle ?
But if this social question has been abused
and men have been made to suffer by it, U is a
little remarkable that the party that has so re
cently secured entire and permanent control of
the Federal and the State government, should
be so swift to take vengeance on their opponents.
It seems to us that a party that has achieved so
much can a fiord to be magnanimous. It shonld
set about to correct the evils of which it com
plains, in a dignified and generous spirit. It
can, not nfibrd to follow in the footsteps of those
whose actions its members have so severely de
nounced, and which promised a future of blood
letting." No, no! the triumphant Radical party
will scorn to stoop to such comtemptible prac
tices as social ostracism or political proscrip
tion. It will correct these evils and teach
the world a lesson in magnanimity and charity.
It will not report to such low and undignified
methods of persecution. Surely it will thiw act,
if it is the party the Zrareprescnuit to be. If it
is indeed made up of low, contemptible, narrow-
minded bigots and corruption ists, it will fol
low the advice of the Era and spend its short
lease of power and office by making war upon
a large proportion of the American people tor
opinion a sake. ,
will of the majority, to destroy the usuages and
customs of the party, shall be sanctioned by any
considerable number of the jcople, it will an
certainly result in the destruction of the Conser
vative organization as it i that the un goes down
before dark. But we do not believe that the peo
ple will encourage the expectations of these
men. They will not allow their betterjudgments
to be warped by the struggles and pet schemes of
selfish political aspirants. They will not thus
tamely surrender to Radicalism. They will re
main true despite the politicians. In the mean
time; we think Messrs. Love &IIumphey should
write one more ''defence," and proceed at once
to demonstrate the realization of the poet who
said it is sweet to die fur one's country, by per
forming the favorite amusement of the Japanes
harri karri.
It id stated that the President will par
don any of th eo-alled Ku Klax, if ap
' plication id nude to him by their immc
diate filendj. If this statement id true,
wbydou'tthe friends ipf the unfortunate
men who are lanquisliing in prison, ap

' fatl.too proud to make this appeal for the
, liberty;of men who have been unjustly
charged aud illegallyrimprisoned.

NEW ORLEANS USURPATION.
While President Grant is denying at Wash
ington any intention or desire to tyrannize over
the people of Louisiana or to interfere with the
free government of the State, the federal au
thorities in -New Orleans are committing out
rages to which no people with a spark of man-!
hood in their breasts can patiently submit. The
Ktate government overthrown, State Courts abol
ished or the rightful judges driven by force
from the bench, and now the suppression of the
independent press, are the outrages that mark
the progressive steps of this infamous violation
of the constitution and the laws. The New Or
leans Titties, having been bold and free spoken
in its denunciation of Judge Lhirell's action, has
been seized and suppressed by a United 5sate
Marshal on a trumped-upycharge of fraud in
volving fifteen hundred dollars, for which four
times the amount was offered as security , while a
hundred time the amount would have been forth
coming if necessary. We trust that President
Grant will now see the wisdom and prudence of
adopting some metluslto undo the evil done
by the superserviceahle zeal of the Attorney
General, and to compel the United States au
thorities to respect the constitution and the lib
erties of the people. The President, by his ea
gerness to disclaim any interference with the
louisiana btate government, has shown a pro
per appreciation of the limit of his liowers and
duties. Il iifo be hoped that Justice Bradley
will at once proceed to New Orleans to super
cede Judge Uurell. This may accomplish much
good, although . we believe the most effective
remedy for the present troubles m Louisiana
would be the suspension of both State jrovern
ments and the temiorary stitatitution of a mil
itary provisional government until the question
at issue between the contending factious could
be settled by the Court of last resort.
-e 1 ork Herald,
The Herald and other Northern pa
pers, have just waked up to find that the
liberties of the country are indeed gone
and that Grant is virtually a Dictator.
The South has been telling them this all
the time, but the warning has not been
heeded. Grant exercises more power to
day than ibe Queen of England or any
other crowned head of Europe.
But why should ihey or we complain
Did not the people have a chance to stop
the march of deupotiim last "November
and positively refused to do it ? The
electioiLof Horace Greeley would have sav
ed them all denuniation of Grant's usurpa
tion, but they would not vote for Greeley,
preferring, to intsure the election of Grant
by staying away from the polls or voting
for-a jo-called, straight-out Democrat. It
was a cowardly way to favor Grant's elec
tion, but still it was done. Why then
complain 1. If they caji stand it we can.
. Thb Pcblic Pkistixg has been given by the
General Assembly to the Raleigh Arira. The
Sentinel is indignant at this, and cries "Inerati-
tnde J" The JYrir. pacifies II v reionds, "Let us
have peace ! Harmony is the thing, Mr. Senti
nel." There is a fable which fits this case to a
dot. Though the Kews is entirely worthy this
especial mark of tlfrJ?tate's favor, we think it
would have been perhaps more in accordance
with "the eternal fitness of things" if the Senti
nel had received this reward for past services to
the Conservative party. Charlotte Observer.
We have not a word to say against the pro
prietors of the NVirs; they are gentleman and
have done good service' for the party, and they
are especially worthy of this favor. But Mr.
Turner, by all odds, was entitled to the refusal of
this work. It should have been given to him
on account of his past untiring services to the
Conservative party, if for nothing else. No man
in the State had lalored more earnestly and at
a greater sacrifice than he; yet he has been
stabbed in the house of his friemb by men
who are indebted to him and a few other
brave spirits for the success of the Conservative
party which had elevated them to their present
positions. It seems that those who labor hard
est and do most for the party are the men to be
kept out of position, held back, ignored, and
denied favors. But thi.s game had as well play
out first as last, for il must play out. A few so-
called leaders cannot longer manipulate things
to suit themselves iu defiance of the people.
This act of the Legislature will not be approved
by them. They know that Mr. Turner has
done good service ; and they will be indignant
when they learn that while he has been doing
the public printing at a very low figure the
price has been increased So per cent and the
work given to another all through mere spite
or thoughtlessness, we hardly know which. Il is
chargt.l that Mr. Turner did not advocate the
claims of Governor Vance to a seat in the U. S.
Senate. Mr. Turner had a right to advocate his
claims or not as he chose. We take it for
granted that Mr. Turner was, for good reasons,!
opposed to the election of Gov. Vance. If this
is true, wa think he showed much forbear
ance in keeping quiet and not openly opposing
him. But suppose he had come out and strenu
ously advocated the claims of Mr. Vance, would
not these legislative dignitaries have regained it
as dictatorial in Mr.Tumer? What right had he
to advi.se this Assembly of wisdom, all of whom
can read and write, no doubt, and have gradua
ted in political economy and slate-craft! It
would be presumption in any newspaper to fftf
We ''copy - with pleasure' tbe follow-
ing passages from an instructive aud able
letter from Col. W; I. Saunders, to bis
paper, the Wilmiugton Journal. I is
dated, Italeigb, Dec. 13th. lie says :

liabilities have aa yet made no report. It

will oe made to compromise wun our
creditors. Indeed, tbe only project that
ecenis to meet with favor is one looking
to an assumption of our indebtedness by
tbe Ff deral Government. It will be re
membered by the readers of the Journal
that this project was foreshadowed iu its
columns some weeks ago. Northern men
may well say they have done their broth
er, the colored man, a donbtful good, if
they have nnde him a citizen only to
load him with a ruinous debt. The amount
of cotton tax money unlawfully collected
from the South, if refunded, would pay
near half the whole Southern debt l one
dash. Another and a more potent cause
for the assumption, if ever it shall be
found in the enormouns profits of the job.
It would certainly be a great relirf to
have our debts paid ; so great that no
man in this day, at leaf, would listen to
another who hinted that the power it
would give the Federal Government over
the States would be a dangerous one
Centralization and consolidation are the
order of the day. When the debts of fh
Southern States shall have been assumed
by the Federal Gevernmenl the change
in the character of oht inslilnlkiirt will
have been perleci'a. 1 he spectacle we
witufs'S to-thiy leaves t-carcely a shadow
of a hope of preserving a vertigo even of
our old land marks. No European Mon
arch is more completely rr.aater of the sit
uation than is President Grant to-day. If
uff iirsare not b'irg conducted to suit him,
all that he has to do is to cause a few in
dividuals to organize a new government
and to direct his Attorney General to
recognize it by telegraph, aud to support
it with the army aud navy, and the thing
is done ! Can the Czar of the Rumda
arrange matters more to hid satisfaction
or more speedily 7 And can any man who
knows the condition of affiirs in Alabama
and Louisiana pretend that Grant cannot
exercise this power?

amount. It was brought about in thin way:
" ' f Mr. (lould had in his possesion property to the
amount of nino million doilara which belonged

propwition" tathe Preidenf pf, the Erie Com

he waimied jf ha would stop the suit. This
proposition was accepted, and the result was
that the company being so largely reimbursed
b The Era, of the 17th imt., has two articles
urging the Radical leaders to adopt the policy
of social and political ostracism. That paper
says now that the Republicans have full control
of the Federal and the State government that no
Libera, Consertative, or Democrat, should be
allowed to hold any office of trust or honor un
der either; and much more of the same sort
"Well, if this policy is adopted, there will be no
corruption of the good people of the State. For
it were impossible that any other than the worst
effects would result from social and political
association with Radicalismposition and pow
er do not give character or respectability to
thieves and scoundrels. We never did believe
in social ostracism on account of political opin
ion"; and we never should have favored parti
san proscription if the precedent had not been
set by the Radical party. We have alwavs been
a strict partisan, but we have never allowed our
prejudices to so blind us as to make us support
a canaiuate tor otneeon partisan grounds alone,
I and especially if lws was not otherwise fitted for
the position to which he aspired. - We believe
there are Rood and true men in the Radica
party ; but we know that there are many who
are not.
If Conservatives and Democrats are as low
and mean as the Era would have the world be
lieve, it is astonishing that its party friends
should have ever felt aggrieved, because these
mean people would not associa with thew, as
therm's party alleges. Honorable people do
not feel stung, if they are cut by corrupt, bad
men or women. They don't writs long whining
articles complaining that they are wrongfully
ooiracjsec.
Sams of th most mloQs advocates of tbe os-
ertake to advise such a body. Km let us ad
mit that the ground, of opposition to Mr. Tur
ner were well taken, would it not have been
more pcudent and charitable in a grave legisla
tive body to have over looked his diort-comius
his failure to advocate Gov. Vance's claims
rather than hazard tlje safety of the partv. The
gentlemen who opposed Mr. Turner's claims to
the public printing have no right to complain
of the action of Judge Merrimon' friend;
for the action of both faction has the same
tendency and will accomplish the name result,
persisted in. namely ; the disintegration
and destruction of the party. The Merrimon
faction were reckless a to consequences and
really seemed to desire the ruin of the party ;
the jews men, or tho.- who favored taking
the printing from Mr. Turner, are no less ex
cusable so far as we can see.
Now, what will the people think of these in
harmonious actions of their Conservative mem
bers? Will they not hold all equally guilty as
a legislative body ? Assuredly they will. If the
mutteringswe have heard mean any thing, we
can tell that bod' that it ha sown the seed of dis
tention ; and that each and everv niemter
will be held to a strick accountability. If
the present Conservative organization ierih,
the legislature will be held responsible, and
whether it perish or not, the political decapita
tion of a large majority of its members has al
ready been assured.

holders met in Albemarle on the loth itutant
Col. W. G. Smith of Anwnville, X. C, was
called to the Chair and James D. Ilearne re
quested to act aa Secretary. The President
made a short and very appropriate speech, say
ing that from various cauaes the enterprise had
been retarded, but that hi motto wa, (aud he
believed it to be the motto of all tbe friend of
the Road) never to give up that there was a
brighter day ahead of us ; and that he had a
written report, ready to submit to the Stock
holders, as soon as a majority of the Stock was
ascertained to be present. After considerable
consultation and discussion, as to the prospects
i poralK
to some extent guaiantt ed. We truit
that the Commissioners, at whose instance
the suit was commenced, will uee every
means iu their power to hurry the case ou
to its fanal conclusion in the Supreme
Caurt of the United States, for wc sup
jK)8o that the railroad company will not
let the matter rest as at present, and that
before many months we may have a de
cision fiom that Court, settling the law

that, in consequence of the small nynjber of
Stockholders and the extreme inclemency of
the weather, to postpone the meeting until the
1st Thursday in June next, unless the Prei-
dent deemed it advisable, after consultation
with the Directors and Stockholders to call it
at an earlier date.

1. There is a dispn'ea.3 to who is elec

claims the victory; and each side has a
Returning Board to certify to it.
2. One of the candidates, Mr. Kellogg,
is uow United States Senator. The cZii
stitution of Louisiana makes a U. State
officer ineligible to the Governorship. It

but in lieu of replying he twisted himself
