TNGRATITUDE.

Governor Wells informs the world that
when his Confederate fellow-citizens returned
home he did not chop off their heads, or con
fscate what little was left of their property,
or even send them to prison but, on the
contrary, with a lively sense of votes to come,
he signed their applications for pardon and
appointed many of them to Office And, in
return for this unparalleled magnanimity, he
experienced only that black ingratitude which
manifesteditself in votes cast according to the
preferences of the voter, and not according to
the desire of Governor Wells. He was elected
governor, it is true; but that was due to the
strange fact that the people thought he
might be able to do something for the
State. We suppose the governor will admit
that this was a hallucination on the
part of the people as to anything bene-
fetal that he was capable of accomplishing.
Certainly it would be difficult TO show that he
has done anything for Louisiana, except in
jury. But when he urges it as an objection
against our people that they elected him gov
ernor only because they thought he could be
of service, we are at liberty to infer that he
preaunes this to be the last quality which the
public ought to look for in a governor and
certainly, his conduct from first to last has
accorded with that estimate Of his opinions
The governor finds great fault with thepeo-
pie, because, rs he says, they would net elect
anybody but Confederates to office. But was
Mr.. Rozier the first Democratic nominee for
Congress in this district Confederate? Was
Mr.. Barker, the member elect, Confederate ?
Was Mr.. Ray devotee of the Confederate
cause All Of these gentlemen were elected
by the people Of the State at that same cleo
ton at which Governor Wells received %, 900
out Of n, 900 votes. But really now, to be sin
cere, would the governor have asked us to
elect the men who were members of the con
vention and legislature of 1864? Candidly
speaking, does the governor think that those
persons would have been fair representatives
of Louisiana either at home or abroad? If SO
he must have changed his opinions since he
delivered that famous speech in Lafayette
Square, on his return from Washington some
thing more than year ago Seriously does
Governor Wells think it the duty of the peo-
pie to reflect all of his changes of opinion,
and to follow him in all his political oscilla-
tionsP Really, the task would be too ex-
hausting in this hot weather.

the Presidents action in this matter, so for
from bearing any analogy to the policy of
Congress, is, in fact the very reverse of that
policy. Congress ignores the States, denies
the existence Of their governments, and re-
fuses to accord to them the exercise Of their
constitutional rights. The President reeog-
nizes the States, upholds their established
governments and furnishes them with aid to
enforce their laws and to suppress insuaec-
ton and avert unlawful usurpation.

Much ink and space in newspapers have been
wasted on J. Madison Wells Governor of Louisi.
ana, in publishing fulminations from him and
structures concerning him. But it seems to me
that few quotations from ertant documents to
which he cannot claim to be stranger, will place
him exactly where he belongs.
The Constitution of 1864, article 50, says: He
(the governor) slaB tabe care that the lars are
faithfully erecWed;' and in the same document
article so, is the oath which this same governor
and all other officers of the present State govern
ment took, and had to take, to be qualified as
officers. The oath which the governor took, is as
follows: 81 j. Madison Wells, do solemnly swear
that will support the Constitution and laws of
the United States, and Of this State, and that l
will faithfully and impartialIy discharge and per-
form all the duties incumbent on me as governor
according to the best of my abilities and under.
standing so help me God" 5H~
The governor, by bis own admission, as pub.
lished, made himself not merely pa,ttceps
cgtmlinis, but the pr6neun mobile, to oYerturn
that Constitution under which he was elected, and
which he had thus sworn to support.
Casuistry may attempt to eYade the conclusions
that men of common sense and soneUo, honesty
will always arrive at on the mere statement of the
case-and radical lattudnarianism may give ALSO
luton for the "peccadillo," on the principle that
"the end justifies the means;" but what is the
Judgment of the Court Of Conscience, and that
Higher Court, towhich even radicals are amena.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.-As usual, the re-
ports about the cholera visiting us are very
much exaggerated. All, however, who choose
to know the truth, viii disregard the alarm
lists and the graphic and topographic accounts
of sensation-mongers, and gather it from the
reports Of the Board of Health. These, so
faT, show the mortality to be- if anything,
under the average of the season. Last year
was universally proclaimed and admitted to
be one Of the healthiest ever experienced in
New Orleans. The population vas not then
as great by some twenty five per cent as it is
now During the week ended On the 9Th Of
August, 1865, the deaths were ia during
the week ended on the 18th inst, they were
only 1873 an increase of little more than ten
per cent, or considerably less than one-half
Of the ratio Of increase in the population. AS
long as cholera produces no greater increase
of mortality than it has hitherto, II cam Of
properly be taken out Of the ordinary cate
CORY OF causes on forms Of death.

New TARIFF BILE. We publish to-day the
tariff bill Struggled through Congress during
the last hours Of the session. Tt is a subject
in which our merchants and in truth our
whole population, are Interested The st.
Louis Republican describes it as equally
odious with the bill which the Senate post
poned till December. We copy the comments
Of that paper
When Congress was discussing the elaborate
tariff bill, generated by cross between the
greedy iron-masters of Pennsylvania and the
equally greedy spinners of New England, the out
cry against its provisions was so loud that the
bill fell through The defeat of that bill was sup
posedt0 be The death of all schemes for raising
prices on consumers under the false pretence of
benehtting home industry. But the simple people
who thought so We're, it seems, mistaken. For
just at the heel of the session, the destructive
tarlitiies succeeded in pushing through, by what
arts and devices perhaps Speaker CplfaX knows
as wellas anybody,a tariff bill which has raised
the duties on every article of import! This it has
done by the C0nrivanCe of assessing the duties
on, not only the cost ofthe goods in foreign ports
but on all the charges of transportation etc.
The tariff bill which was killed reduced the
duties on coffee, tea and some other foreign grown
products of prime necessity; but this bill raises
them. 1T isdoubtful whether, upon the whole,
the bill which has actually passedis nota more
oppressive and outrageous bill than the one which
was defeated H-.1
sowe go. By hook or by crook our radical
tyrant5 are determined to carry out their plans
and then trust to luck in their efforts to bambooze
their followers Into the belief that they have done
right, They evidently imagine that do what thew
may, our people are SO besotted that they can be
made TO acquiesce in any Legislation however
injuriOns to them, by calling every man who de-
nounces such legislation, dislOyal and rebel
sympathzer.

An AMAZING MAN.-Attorney General Her
ron must be marvellous person. The New
York Tribune says that he has declared that
no meeting to choose delegates to the Jack
Hamilton convention shall be held in Louisi-
ana, whereupon the Tribune wants 100, 600
men with muskets, swords, and artillery, to
be sent here to protect the said contemplated
meeting against Attorney General Heron
Surely he must be very extraordinary
person During the war he commanded q
company Of Confederate soldiers, but ne are
not aware that he gave employment to hun
bred thousand boys in blue at that time,
And, after ALL we think the Tribune may dis.
miss its fears and anticipations of the neces-
sity Of this remarkable campaign against our
attorney general That worthy gentleman, we
are sure, has no intention Of subiecting
the United States government to the expense
Of sending an army Of one hundred thousand
men to Louisiana. If he ever declared that
delegates should not be sent from Louisiana
to the Jack Hamilton convention, he takes it
all back. He is not only willing that they
should be sent to Philadelphia, but just as
willing that they should stay there. He would
have no desire to impede the exodus from
Louisiana Of the whole Jack Hamilton party,
and wishes the Philadelphians joy of their
company Entertaining this view, the Tri-
hume may rest assured that Attorney General
Heron did not make any such declaration
as is attributed to him. So the 100000 sol
diers will not be needed When our attorney
general intends to declare war on all the world
and the rest Of mankind, he win give his adj
versaries fair chance and not attack them

THEN AND Now-The radicals make d great
TODD over the untimely collapse Of the late
convention just as if even they had not de-
nounced it as a fraud and a sham. In the
beginning they declared that it had no life,
and now they join in conspiracy to resusci-
tate it after its indisputable DEATH
The legality of the convention of 1864 was
brought up for prominent discussion, both in
Congress and the press, by the application Of
the louisiana senators and Representatives for
seats in Congress- The applicants were con-
temptuously rejected.
