Memphis Avalanche, September 17.1 In sustaining Kelloj in Louisiana Presi dent Grant but repeated the act which sent Joseph Brooks and Clayton'" gsng to the wall in Arkansas. Thore appears little rea son to doubt that if the truth could be reached, McEncry in Louisiana and Brooks in Arkan sas were elected iu 1872. But it is one thing; to elect and another to get counted in. The Returning Board in Louisiana declared Hel loes? elected Governor, alletriner that ten thousand colored men who desired to cast their ballots for him wore not permitted to vote. In Arkansas the Totes of a sufficient number of counties and civil districts were thrown out to reduce Brooks' majority to a minority and declare Baxter elected. The flmiuitration of Kellogs-has been exceedingly nnjopulr in Louisiana. The white people (carret-bacgers exclude!) roirard him the chief of a hand of public robbers and an nsurf er whose official existence they have recognized simply because it has been uniformly" recognised by the national authorities' in a word, because they could not help themselves. On the contrary the administration of Governor Baxter, who. like Kellogg, was illegally "counted in," is and has been popular with the masses. lie has given the .State good, honest govern ment, . and has defeated the schemes of the same brood of plunderers to whom in Louisiana Kellogg baa alone looked for supr.ort and sympathy, and in whose interest his administration has been conducted, liencflk though both were elected bv fraud. Barters official career is generally indorsed. and .Kellogg aizuoat uiu ersaily detested by the country. - After Baiter had been ia undisturbed pos session tor n'teea months, brookj suddenly seized the Arkansas State-house Ly a trick, was sworn in as Governor by the notorious Chittf Justice AlcClura, himself in the plot, and then maintained in position bv force. After Kellogg had been in undisputed possession in Louisiana, eighteen months, tto was sudden It disposed x by an armed force, and D. B.

The President SAttled the question in Ar kansas by reinstating the illegally elected tut d facto Governor Barter, 'lie has just settled a similar question in Louisiana bv a proclamation which will reinstate tbe filejsulw chosen but d facto Governor Kello; In the Arkansas c" popular sympathy -with, while in that of Louisiana it Ls agaii the man who wag "counted in" as Governor, though defeated at the polls. Naturally, eentiment ignores legal forms. It applauds the illegally chosen Baxter beeaese he proved himseli worthy of confidence, and it cenonnces tbe illegally choe-en KelicggbeanM he proved himself unwer ty of public resTect This parallel Vetween the str Jggles in Lrtiisoana and Arkansas has been drawn for the benefit ot the not small e ass whose ympathies ever active m beha . of the oppressed not nnfreqnently cloud their conceptions of legal foraii &Tnecesiues.

I look in the faces of this intelligent andlrnce. who are conversant with what is going on in the State of Louisiana. It has been the misfor tune utemeatg , partisan paper, upon the stateways of travel; but I believe that the people of Indianapolis have not yet heard from a witness w bo bra s n and who has been a part of the work 9i reconstruction in Louisiana. A great I aw writer has said that the requirements of a stood witness are that he snould -first know the tacts, that he should be able to tell them, and tnat he should be willing to tell thorn; and I can assure you, from what he says to-night, and from what his friends say of him: he will tell yon the unvarnished truth. I now have the honor to introduce to you Governor Piauhback, of Louis iana. Governor Pinohhaelc advanced to the front of the stage, and after explaining th.it the mass of manuscript which he wag carrying was not S3 large as it appeared, said: I have becu invited by the State Central Committee of the Republican party to address the citizens of Indianapolis this evening on the condition of affairs iu the South. To do that intelli gently, and in ku.-li a manner as to coaiuixnd your attention. 1 shall proceed in a plain, unvarnished styl", "nothing eit-nu-iUna or setting W I " ri n . iu u ' ' w - The time has arrived in the life of toenition when a calm, deliberate, and earnest consideration of the condition of that portion of our country is absolutely necessary ; and in order to do this it is essential to go back in the history of tho country to the memorable campaign of 130, when Abraham Lincoln, the martyr president. Was nominated lor the Chief Magistracy of our gov eminent; we might go back beyond that period and take up the stmsarlo between free loin and slavery, beginning with the formation of the "Anti-slavery Society," and show how for half a century the criis which culminated in 13t4) had been gradually forming; but fur my present purpose it is unnecessary: it is enough to know that in lV'J a large maiority of the people residing north of "Mason and.Dixon's line" had become restive undor the domination, of the South, and viewing with alarm the arrogant assumptions of Southern leaders, deti rinined to elect a man for President not only troui their section of the country, but who was known to be honest and more in accord with thetr se ntiments and tha aggressive tendencies of the age. Tbe result of that campaign is fresh in the memory of every man. Oor honored, loved and lanitnted Lincoln was oiectud, and then the trouble bezant the Southern leaders imiurininr themselves "born to command," saw the reins of power, which they had held so lone, parsing from tiieir hands, swore that they would not stand it. and at once set vigorously to work to put their thiei.t, into execution. Is it necessary for me to tell vi,u. neonle nf Iniliana. what followed? Ol their attempt to disrupt this glorious Union, or of itsreiordol bloody disaster, whicn cost the nation the lives of so many of its bravest and best men. and so many millions of treasure? I trust not; for in too many homes, all over this land. North and South, the abseace of the loved one tells the tale, and appeals to you in mournful silenco, .never, never to forget it. Would you aj.ain hare this frightful condition of things upon you'.' God forbid! Then look well te the South: let not tbe cry of nerro domination shut your ens to the true en use of the awful condition of I society m that section. It is not the negro they Pate, nor do they mnrdi r him because he is a negro. In every relation, save that of politics, these people are kind, loving and genrrous toward the eolored people. It is tue Republican party ther hate, and the colored men are butchered because they are Republicans and vote the Republican ticket. iilinded by their passions and restln? under wrongs, imaginary and real for I am not here to claim they have not suffered: their sufferings have teen great and hard to bear in "glories fled." fortunes wasted, homes desolated, their Southern prido that bad been accustomed te receive homage, even at the North, and was without a parallel at Lome, humbled into the dust, first by the overthrow of tho rebellion, then by the loss ot their slaves, and last, thongh by no means .a l. w ,u... t. , mnil. il..;. I equals, all these things, however pustsnJ sentiai lor roe preservation oi iqi union, ana m accord with the march of civil and religious tire tress have imposed much suffering upon those peo ple, and no douot are regarded by them as griev ous wrongs. Smarting under these changes wrought by the war, they have become desperate; einboldenod by the recent Democratic victories in the North, and tbe belief that the mismanagement and extravagance of the Southern govern ments nan worset a revolution in the Northern mind arainst tbe reconstruction measures, de stroyed Northern sympathy for the colored peo ple ot tbe boutn. and that the president, who tney flattered themselves was courting their support for third term, wonld not interfere, hive, through their lust after power and a determination to obtain possession of the Southern State governments, been led to the commission of the terrible crimes that have aroused the nation and forced the intervention of the general government. They felt confident that with the entire Sonth under their control they could, with the aid of the Northern Democracy, gt possession of the central government jn TsTfl. I'-ut. than li avcn. "tiiey counted without their ho-t..' Our warrior President, ever firm fn the execution of the laws, has not been caught by their wiies. The tempting bait cf the united South tor a third term has not made him forget h-'s oath of oSi'-e to enforce the "con.'tituuon and tbe laws" and he has. in no nncertatn sonn i, sent the fiat forth th;it every citir.cn roast and shall be protected in his life and his rights, civil and political: and the American pecp'.a will honor bun for this firmness in his great ofiice.

greets you on evt ry hand, yonr State would have been a howling wilderness, and the "'son of man had not where to lay his head." The South to-day is in trouble; her financial condition is deplorable, taxation is high, and therefore onerous, but it is not the fault ot reconstruction: it is the fault of the fire-eating, murderous despcradors and hot-headed, intolerant, short-sighted leaders that war upon the blacks. and terrorize over the sober-minded and honest, conservative whites, who dare not, for fear of social and business proscription, counsel and advise with the colored voter, and thus the latter is perforce compelled to select almost exclusively from among the new-comers their white leaders, who, in some instances, prove recreant to their trnst, rob the State, and dishonor their constituents and their party. The frightful record of outrage and murder of innocent and defenseless colored men, and sometimes women, such as Julia Hayden. in Tennessee, and while men, friends of the colored people, such as those murdered in Coushatta, has justly created the impression all over the world that Louisiana is no place for emigrants or the investment of capital, and neither ever think of coming lucre. And what is true of Louisiana is true of nearly every Soutlhern State, and I do not hesitate to affirm as my earnest conviction that we will grow from bad to worse, unless the North increase its Republican majorities at each election until those people are convinced that there is no hope of the Democracy again getting control of the general government; for as long as they think there is a "ghost of a chance" tor Democratic snpremacy. just so long will they hug the delusive hope of depriving the colored man of his rights, and possibly of being paid for their former slaves; for I have seen in two or three Southern papers notices to the people to keep a correct account of their slaves, with bill of sale, etc. It is frequently asked at the North why the two races do not harmonize. The answer is to be found in some of the instances I have cited. The demagogues and the chronic office-seeking leaders among the whites, aided by a set of men who in the "olden time" were overseers and slave-drivers, whose occupation, like "Othello's, is gone," urged on by an intemperate press, have so demoralised public sentiment that the good and true men of the South who own property and are doing business, have not the moral courage to make a move in this direction, and quietly allow themselves to be dragooned into a policy that their better natures revolt at and their judgments condemn as being ruinous in the extreme. If you ask why don't the colored men take the initiative? I answer in the Yankee style by asking another question. If your State was evenly di ided, or nearly so. between white and eolored, and your people were being outraged and murdered daily by the blacks, whose every act and utterance indicated that nothing short of the complete political annihilation of your people would satisfy them, how would you regard the man of your race that would dare to advise your people to trust the colored inau? I dare say at the very loast you would look upon him with distrust and suspicion. There are plenty of good men in the Sonth, white and colored, who understand the situation, know tbe remedy, but are powerless to act lor the reason I have a&siened. I am one of those who look npon the bngut side of the Southern picture, and I do not despair of a better condition of things: I am strengthened in my hopefulness after looking over the history of our prosperous and happy State, and seeing how dark and gloomy were its prospeots thirty-five years ago. The same agencies that produced the marvelous prosperity you are now enjoying mostand will be introduced into Louisiaua, viz.: Protection for tha lives and property of her eitisens. and a wholesome regard for law and order. Then the emigrant will not flee frbm her as be would the wrath to come, nor the capitalist refuse to invest. 1 nave dwelt too tonr, 1 fear, npon this subject, and mnst pass to the civil richtsbill. Last winter, as I watched day by day the proceedings of the Senate, and no action on that bill was bad. I became disheartened, for i felt if Congress adjourned without passing it, onr people would nave additional trouble; bnt at last when the Senate took it up, and the Rpubli-n Senators, true to the pledge made in the national convention, "sat it out" all merit and passed the bill. I felt as if the last lingering traces of slavery had disappeared, and America was indeed an asylum for the oppressed of every nation and every clime. But when the bill reached the House, and it was made manifest that it could not be passed. I knew it would embolden the enemies of oar people all over the land, and worst of all be regarded in the South as an abandonment by the Republican party of the rolorel voter; and subsequent events have proven that my fears were well founded, for much of the disorder prevailing all over theSouth is directly chargcableltothe fact. Bnt it is useless now to discuss what ought to have been done, or might have been done. It is enough for ns to know tu.it tha bill is still prn ling, and that to the Republican party we must look for the tinil passage of this needful measure to complete the civil and political equality before the law ofj American citirn. rom the noble utterances of that eminent statesman, whose niTte is a tourer of strength, and who is always found on th- side ! of the pooran l e"pred it i h-rd! n--es ry to sav I allude to Senator Morton yon'will see the I nr-sumiry ol tne ooosnmn to tnt Mil. tn speech delivered at Terra Haute, he sars: TVerf.

made a tiart of our declaration of rovernment. I have seen, one by one. the narrow1 prejudices of caste which denied to the black race the rights of human nature melt away without evil results, and I wish to see this work complete and perfect by securing to all men who are citizens of the United States precise equality in all civil and political rights, whether they tend to protect his person and property, or lift him above degradation by local or State authority." I take great comfort from the unequivocal endorsements of this humanitarian measure by these great party leaders and statesmen of the North and West. I am certain that with their influence, joined with the support and influence of our other tried and trne leaders, not many days will elapse before the Civil Rights bill will pass the House, receive the signature of the President, and become the law of the land. Fellowcitizens, I am so hopeful of this result that I do not deem it essential to discuss in detail the features of this measure: but as the school clause is considered the most objeetionable, I propose to rotie briefly this point. To me this clause constitutes the very germ of the bill, all else is "stale, flat and unprofitable" without this. How in the name of heaven can you expect to produce those harmonious relations that should exist among the citizens of a common country, and which are go essential to preserve the rights of all, rich and poor. white and black, when at the "point of learning" you teach the rising generation that one is inferior to the other? It is an inconsistency so glaring and monstrous that I cannot conceive that any sane man could for a moment seriously entertain the idea. It is said that if that bill becomes a law, the public schools of the South will be broken up; that irretrievable ills will result therefrom, and horror be heaped on horror's head. If this was the first time that the raw-head and bloody bones ot the South had been shaken at the North, I should expect it to start back and stand aghast at the awful spectacle; but you have heard of these before, and as the bug-a-boo story loses its force upon the children as they grow older, so this senseless cry, raised upon every occasion when legislation is asked for the amelioration of the condition of our people, must hare lost much of its power to frighten the people ot the North. In many portions of this State, and nearly every Northern Stato, white and Oilored children attend the same sehools, and nobody is hurt. How is this? Are Southern white ehil dren any better than Northern white children? 1 pause for reply. All I ask is a calm, dispassionate consideration of the equities of this subject by the American people, and I am satisfied that they will render a verdict in our favor. The charge that negro suffrage hM proven a failure because in eertain Southern States where the colored voters are in a majority mistakes have been made, aud through unwise and profligate legislation the i D ilic debt has increased, and some corrupt and dishonest men have succeeded in obtaining ofiioc, is as ridiculous and absurd as it would have been for tho reonle of the older, more intel ligent and experienced communities to have held that the people ot Indiana, in their earlier days, when similar mistakes were made, were incomi etent to iisrcisa the richt of suffrage: or when "Ross" Tweed and his confederates robbed the city of New York, therefore the people of that city were incompetent to vote. To the thougbtlul and Bibiased mmii, tbe conduct ot the col ored people gives hopeful evidence of their capac lty for self-government, and in no direction has this been made more apparent tnan is tneir modest demands and the universal desire to obtain tbe best material to be had to fill the offices. In South Carolina. Mississippi and Louisiana, with a majority ot voters, tney nave never claimed or taken more than a third at the otiiocs. and these generally second rate ones. In Louisiana, where you hear so much about negro government, "negro domination," and "neerro supremacy." the Governor. Auditor of State, AttorneyGeneral. Supreme Court, consisting of judges, every district judge, every parish judge but one. ail the tax collectors but four or five, are white men: in the last Legislature twenty-three Sena tors eat of the thirty-si members composing the Senate, were white: in the House ot ttepresentatiies. sixtv-four of 1C7 members were white, con stituting a majority of whites in both branches of tha General Assembly, lne colored renresenta tion in that Legislature was by far the largest they have ever had. The city government of New Orleans are all white but one. The Board of Metropolitan Police have a white majority. The Tfoard of pitate tnrineers are all white but one The district Superintendents T Education are five hite and one colored. Ot tue six Congressmen five are white, one colored, and in tbe minor of fices a majority are whites. From this exhibit you can see tnat the charges are untrue, lr also sustains the modesty m the demands for onir-ial recognition which I claim for my peonle. The reports of "negro insurrection, outrages, diabolrcal plots to murder the whites, etc., are also without foundation, and nine times out of ten ara circulated lor the purpose of furnishing an excuse to outrage and murder our Deonle. whom the world knoHS are a simple-hearted, harmless race.

Every vote you have, aad can in any way influence, should be voted for the Republican ticket in the coining election. Look txtck over yonr hitory even in this State, when it was under Democratic rule, and contrast it with your present eon l.tion, and ask yourselves how you would like to have the old order of things restored. I will depart a moment from my manssTtpt to pay my respects to a gentlemen in this district. 1 am told that you have nominated for Congress in this d strict a gentleman named Landers, who at one tune was a member of your State Senste, and that he Introduced into that Senate a bill known as an act to enforce the thirteenth article of your constitution, imposing fines, forfeitures, eiile. and even the penitentiary, npon any black man who should come into the State after IS 1. Now, ray feilow-citixens. if that be true: if while j he wj in that position he so forgot lit becomes the beunden duty of the Republican power. Ana t snail raaao an epeciai appeal to every black man, not only within sound of my voice, but everywhere in the district, to make it his duty to cellar an i drag out, if he can, any lukewarm black man to the polls, and that he there induce him by all fair means to vote for the Hon. John Coburn, that ttaumh Republican! U'"afening applause. The Democracy are moving heaven and earth to secure the next national llcuse of Representatives. To ns there could not happen a rreater calamity: for if our enemies in the South have been emboldened to the commission of crime by the local victories in one or two StAtes, what would they not do intoxicated, by such a victory? A word or two more and I am done. Hnw my heart wells op in me, and quickens its throb, ss my eye wanders over this nugniEcent spectacle. Fifteen years ago had some prophet come among ns and in his foresight pictured this seene who would have teen credulous enough to have believed him? Just think what marvelous chances have taken rdaee in this short sn.u-e of time. Ttere in this golden city not so long ago, it were almost a crime for colored men to appear upon your street decently clad, and in one of yonr aditcent cdirs it was common pastime to tar and feather colored men, and sometimes make them swim the Wabash river in midwinter: now. white and colored alike. are rathered toccthcr in rood fellowship in this spacious hall, to consider the political issues of the day.

IIww tbe White I.enicne UtefeirrBa, Abases) d I'rotects Lire an Preiperlw. From the Statement ef Henry Smith, ia the New Orleans Republican. J Tn the early part of the month of August, 1ST 4, a public meeting was held at the Courthouse in the town of Coushatta, by the White League party. Among them were several nersons from'the city of Natchitoches, vis: "W. 11. Jack, J. 11. Cosgrove, and 8. M. 11 vanis. Speeches were made publicly, proclaiming that the object of the meeting waa to demand and compel the resignation ol'the parish officers. Before the XaU-hitovhes delegation left for home it was stated by them that they came there to assist in compelling the resignation of the officers. Several days after this meeting a prominent citizen of the town of Coushatta said, in my presence and hearing, that the parish ofiicers would bo made to resign, leave the country, or dies. About two weeks before the murder, Mr. 11. A. Dewee was in ilr. Gus DeKusaey's store, when two white wen came in, and one of them said to him: ' Here is una of my Republican f.-iends now. I saw you with a aix-shooter this morning;" and thori drawing his pistol and presenting it to M r. Dewees, at the same time said: ''Sihow it to me now." Mr. Dewees retreated, saving: "Gentlemen, keep your bands off of me; I am not armed." Mr. UeKussey, the proprietor of the store, said to Mr. Dewoea. I)ub. I you had better go home; I gee there i going to be a row. .Mr. uewees remartod, txeei them oil' Mr. DeRusscy, and I will go home.' Mr. DeUussey openod the back door of tbe store and let" Mr. Dewees out, and he went homo. These two men both stated in my presence and besringthat they rums to Coushatta to kill Radicals, and intended to do it before they left. On the next day following, these sarrie two white man came to Coushatta and gut into a difficulty with a young man w ho was on a boat aground in front of town, beotuje tha voung man said ho was a Republican. Soma friends of the young man called on the Sherirf, Edgerton, to arrest the white rnan. The Sherilf arrested him. and intended to jmt him in jail, when a leading citizen, and member of the White Iengue, forbade tha Sheriff from putting this man in jail; but when he fought the ofiicers and made such dUturhances, this leading citizen and others agreed and consented that he fchonl i be put in prison. On the nijrbt of the above transaction, Captain T. " . Abney, with twelve, or fourteen other citizens of the town, surrounded the Sheriff and his deputy before the Courthouse, formed a ring around them, und ordered bim to put Frank Commodore in jail, saying that ou put a white mnn in jail lor getting drunk, you must put this negro in jail also for getting drunk." The Sheriff ieplied that be had not seen biin drunk or raising any disturbance, and that he would nut piithim in jail without a warrant. The answer by these citizens to that whs, "War to the knife knife to the hilt." Tho Tarish Judge being present, and fearing trouble unless their illegal demand was complied with, told the Sheriff to arrest Commodore anil put him !n jail. The Sheriff went to Commodore's house and arrested him in Ltd, where be bad been asleep several hours, ami put him in jail. On the night of the 2Hth of August, 1S71, a body of armed white men went to the house of Tom Cloid, a white man living in the Third ward of the parish of Red River, abort seven miles from Coushatta, entered it and shot at hi ui while on the floor with their six-shooters, then ordered him out and they took his gun. He went out over the ience, and before his door he asked them: "trentletnen, let rne spe.k one word to my wife before yoa shoot me." They replied: "G d d n you, we have got no words for you to say." II is own run was placed to hie head, and hie brains blown out by one of the white tnefl. Daniel "W inn, another colored man, living on the same premises, heard the firing, ana seeing them kill his friend, fired on the crowd and wounded one of them. They pumied Winn, shot him, and left him for dead ia Robieu's field. On the following evening, the 27th of August, a report was circulated throughout the parish that an insurrection had taken place at Brownsville, which ia about ton wiles below Coushatta, and a short uijtai.ee from where Cloid was killed. The Sheriff (Edgerton), accompanied by It. A. Dewees and six other citizens of the town, most of them belonging to the "White League, started for aud reached Brownsville early in the evening, and found no appearance whatever of a dtsturbance-ev-erything quiet. When the Sheriff and big posse returned that night the White league wag congregnting and surrounding the town. There was no disturbance in or around tha town, or in the country to cause such steps to be taken by them. I am satisfied that from the rclgtt of terror in that section of country tbe isrriomnt colored people, in order to save th??r lives, will swear to any statement required of them by the White League committee. I am also satisfied that sensible men and men cf judgment will not believe such statements, coming from a section of country whore rcvo'ation predominates to sac h an extent that one is airaid to express aa opinion, unless tLat opinion is in accordance with the creel and tenets of the White League. Tbe Whllt leasts the Arircir. IFrom the St. Louis Globe. The news from New Orleans, while it will alarm every lover of pace and law. is nothing more than was to be expected as tha result of the iormaiion of the Democratic White League, and the establishment ot what they are pleased to call tbe "ooior line" in Southern polities. Both league and lina mean a war of extermination, not aga:nt blav ks as blneks, but against blacks and whites as Republicans.
