TIE RESTORATION OF THE SOUTHERN STATES
There is going to be great deal Of trouble
about the restoration of the Southern States to
the Union after the fighting is over. We hear
that President Lincoln is preparing a plan in
regard to this matter, and we hope it may be o
good one. We are reliably informed that an
election was regularly held in Louisiana on
the first Monday in November, as the State
laws direct, and that Mr. J. l.. Riddell, of New
Orleans, was elected Governor of the State,
aud Messrs. A. Z. Field. of New Orleans, Joshua
Baker, Of St. Msrys parish. and Thomas Cott-
man, of Ascension, were elected Representatives
10 Congress. The Chase and Stanton faction in
New Orleans tried to prevent this election, in
order to keep Louisiana out Of the Union until
slavery be abolished; and we understand that
Stanton used the military to interfere with the
electors, but unsuccessfully. These facts raise
new issues, and the President must be ready to
meet them according to the constitution. 1t is
our opinion, however, that Grant and Meade
will do more TO restore the Union than any
politicians.
