Abstract

"Custom-house Parties"
January 9, 1873 issue

add to cart   close window

The President has arrived at a very sensible conclusion with regard to the Warmoth Legislature in Louisiana, and that is, not to meddle with it unless it "obstructs the recognized government of the State." P.B.S. Pinchback, the "recognized" Governor, however, does not concur in this view, and has at this writing announced that he will prevent by force any "pretended general assembly" from "convening and disturbing the public peace," and that such "parties participating" in any such meeting are "wrongdoers," and should be "promptly dealt with as such." Should he meet with any resistance, he will probably treat it as a case of "invasion" or "domestic violence," and ask for Federal assistance in breaking the meeting up.
