Loyal Louisiana.

President johnson has said a good deal
since the breaking out of the rebellion
a bout the necessity of keeping the control
o { the South in the hands solely OF loyal
men. Even Of late he has, as it were,
thrown "a sop to Cerberus" by his decla-
ration that he desired only loyal men to
be admitted to Congress. He has also
been kind enough to give US some defni-
tions which show very clearly that loyal
ty, as defined by the President and loyalty
as understood by the free North are
two very different things. A still
further exposition Of the Presidents views
was made on Saturday last in converse
ton with q member of Congress, in which
Mr.. johnson declared that Louisiana was
to-day more loyal than ever before since
her purchase. The President has recently
been ~denouncing as traitors all who are
opposed to the immediate admission of the
Southern states. In that denunciation he
includes the majority Of the citizens of
every Northern state. Thus, while de-
elaring Louisiana loyal, he denounces the
Unionists of Ohio and Pennsylvania and
the whole free North, to whose votes he is
indebted for his present position, as
traitors.
Now let us look southwark to our model
state which, if we would be considered
loyal by the Presidential dispenser of pat
ronage, it is our duty toimitate. The best
evidence as to the course of sentiment
in a community is afforded by
an untrammelled popular election.
Such an election has just trans
pired in the city of New Orleans,
and has resulted in the success of John
T. Monroe, Democratic candidate for
Mayor, by a majority of BIG over Moore,
Union. in a vote OF about 1000. This
John T. Monroe was rebel Mayor of New
Orleans when it was captured, and was
sent to Fort jackson for repeated and
outrageous acts of disloyalty. He has
now been elected simply because of his
past record. No one can doubt that had
all men voted as they felt-had not many
been restrained by fear of the effect of
the election at the North-his majority
would have been FIVE times as large as it
was. If this is the state of affairs in
New Orleans, which has been occupied
by our troops for nearly three years,
which is now General Sheridan's head
quarters, and which has felt the beneficial
effects of Northern trade and immigra-
ton from the North to a wonderful ex-
tent, what must be b econditiOn of things
in the remote parishes, cut off by bayous
and marshes from the rest of the world,
where a Federal soldier has not yet been
seen, and where the slaves are still held
in practical slavery? What must be the
real condition of affairs in the State
which President johnson praises as legal,
while he asserts that Ohio is ~traitorousl

March 18th. 1866. I


March 18th, 1866.
To the E{ftorof the GereLand Leader:
The Heralds correspondent Bert
writing from Ashland under date O
March Sd, and printed in the Herald o
March sth, gives the following notice Of
a meeting; "A meeting was held at the
=" Court House, on last Wednesday night
"by the citizens of this place, Cor the pur-
apese of endorsing the President. Quite
"a number were there. Able speeches
" were made, and resolutions adopted en-
I" dorsing the President, more especially
I" the Veto For the benefit of the unin-
itiated l desire to give the above a slight
ventilation through your columns. By
reference to the proceedings of that meet
ing as published in the Ashland Union
we find the following names John
Smith, of Troy, President H. S. See,
Secretary; the Committee on Resolutions
was composed of r. NJ. Campbell, DIR. J.
Cowan, and J. N. Lands. The speakers
were u. W. Hill, W. b. McCqrty, John
J. Jacobs, H. 5. See, j. P. Cowan, J. L.
Crane, and J. D. Jones. These creatures
are known all over this count as the
vilest Copperheads and traitors outside of
the rebellious States. During the late
war they used the little brains and in
fuenee they possessed to promote the sue
cess Of armed treason. The Herald fail
inc TO receive anv support from the loyal
masses, especially in the "Rural Districts, y
in its shameless recreancy TO the princi-
piles Of freedom and right, turns to the
fetid emanations of such "whited sepul-
chers' as the above for comfort and con-
ISOLATION. Further comment is unneces-
sary. The Union men here are unani-
nous in their condemnation of the Presi-

Railroad over Hoosae Mountain.

IRON the Boston Journal, 9Th
A survey for a railroad around and
over the Hoosac Mountain has been COM
pleted and estimates made, BY which it is
computed that instesd of tunneIling the
mountain, the State may r%elinquisR the
tunnel to the Troy and Greenwich Com
pany, and proceed to build the new road
for a much less amount of money than
has already been sunk in the bore. 1t is
said that the road over the mountain could
be completed within a year. The plan
contemplates going nearly to the top of
the mountain, and then by switches max
ing a detour of FIVE miles. 1t would be
possible to transport over the mountain an
amount of freight as large as the Western
Railroad, at an expense of 100000 less
than it could be carried through the tuD-
mel, even if that was to cost no more than
its ~originators thought it would at the
outset. This whole subject will soon be
brought before the Legislature. The de.
lay of the Western Railroad in buildinc
their ~long-needed double-traek, west Of
Springfield, win give a great impetus to
the enterprise,

Reyrtprocity with Canada.

The seventeenth day of March seems to
be as full of ill-omen to Canada as the
ides of March to Cesar. On that day the
Reciprocity Treaty expires, and on that
day the great Fenian invasion and rebel
lion is expected to commence. The for
tuitous coincidence of two such events,
the one the most important, the other the
most exciting and alarming, that Canada
has known in all her history is indeed re-
markable. The Fenian invasion, which is
set down for the seventeenth because that
is st. Patricks day, causes decidedly the
greatest sensation of the two, and our
readers have already seen full accounts of
the preparations which are being made to
resist the expected attack. But, after all,
nobody on either side the St. Lawrence
and the lakes really expects that any in
vasion will take place, or anything more
formidable than the usual shindies be-
tween Catholics and Orangemen will di-
versify the celebration of st. Patrick's
day. The abrogation of the Reciprocity
Treaty is however avery important event,
the more especially because it is complete
and entire. To be sure,a strong effort has
been made at Washington to break the
fall of the treaty, the last Of which was
Mr. OrriIrs bill to regulate trade with Can
ada, which is in effect a reenactment of the
old treaty in a somewhat modified form.
But that bill received its quietus in the
House of Representatives on Monday, a
motion to strike out its enacting clause
having prevailed by & vote of 6s yeas TO
81 nays. The Reciprocity Treaty expires,
therefore, on Saturday next without any
supplemental bill to take its place, and
Canada, henceforth, stands in the same
relation to us that Europe does.
We are glad that this result has been
attained. The interests of the West are
advanced thereby, for we are freed from
the injurious competition with Canadian
imports in the eastern markets. The in
terests of the nation are no less advanced, |
for, without reciprocity, Canada cannot
exist as an Independent state, and must
fall into u hands within ten years.
Thus, between fears of Fenians and trade
troubles, our Canadian friends are in dan
ger Of destruction. There is, however,
one sure remedy for all their troubles
and that is annexation If they become
annexed to the United States they will
I
no longer be alarmed by Fenian frights or
perplexod BY want of a commercial cut
let. Their interests and ours are identi-
cal; their soil climate, products, habits of
life and social relations similar their po-

form. Why should they not, while re-
manning Independent States, like New
York and Ohio. like them share the pro-
lection Of the United States2

A Western Reserve Man at the HUB

A Western Reserve Man at the Hub"
Thee statement made a few weeks
since by the Round Table that Mr.. w. ID.
Howells had discontinued his connection
with The Natisn and removed to Boston,
is followed by the general announcement
of the press that he has been given edIto-
rial charge of the Atlantic Monthly We
understand that Mr.. Howells does not at
once take the entire charge of the maya
zine, but that Mr.. Fields will remain as
principal editor perhaps a year longer,
when he will vacate in favor of the for
mer. The Atlantic has probably done
mere to familiarize the common run OF
readers with the productions of the best
minds, in science and politics, as well rs
polite literature, than any other publlea-
ton in this country, and under his direc-
ton its reputation will be fully sustained.
Mr.. HowelIs IS a graduate of q Western
Reserve printing Office, has scholarly at
tainments of a high order, and Judgment
and taste ripened and refined by travel
and intercourse with literary society in
Europe. While he has not been a prolific
writer, what he has written has gained for
him a measure of substantial fame. His
first contributions, in prose and verse,
we're made to the Ashtabula Sentinel and
Ohio Farmer next to the old National
Era, while it was under charge of Bailey +;
and sparinglyt to the Kaiekerboeker, which,
not many years ago, was the faverite
magazine. For a short time he was en-
ployed in a reportorial capacity on the
Cincinnati Gazette, but not having Bohe-
milan tastes very largely developed, aban-
doned that field to accept the position of
literary editor of the State Journal, con-
tributing between whites to the Atlantic.
@The Pilots Story" which was univer-
sally admired, with other poems, was from
his pen. In connection with j.. J.. Piatt,
he made his first venture bookward in the
shape of a small volume Of Poems by
Two Friends In 81 he was appointed
United States Consul at Venice, and since
his resignation and return to this country,
last summer, has been on the Round
Table and The Nation in New York.
During his four years residence in Venice,
he was not only a clear observer of the
manners and customs of modern Italians,
but an ardent student of Italian history
and literature, and from time to time con-
tributed papers to the North American
Review, on 1.-THE italian Drama" "Ital-
ian ~Brigandage," etc. which attracted the
attention of eminent English authors and
gave him a name among the scholars Of

The Columbus Journal and the Herald

From the Columbus Journal, March 8
1t seems we overlooked one number of
the Cleveland Herald in making up our
summary of opinions of the press, and re-
manned in blissfull ignorance of our un-
happiness until our attention was called
to the matter by the Herald. We stated
that the Herald had remained silent in
regard to the Presidential utterance Of the
22d of February. The Herald, with that
virtuous gravity which is the Characters
tic of severe morals everywhere, accused
US of retailing the "petty lies" Of the
LEADER, in that regard, but did not en-
tighten US further as to its views. After
that it seems a little unkind in the
LEADER to come down upon US in the fol-
lowing fashion:
"The Columbus Journal Is mistaken.
Had the Herald passed Mr.. Johnson's
speech by in silence its offense would not
have been so gross. But not content with
this course, the Herald was shameless
enough to quote a sentence from the most
disgraeeful part of Mr.. Johnson's speech,
and to applaud its sentiments. The Her
aid is the Union paper west of the
A~lleghanies which has had the
to take this course"
Without waiting for a reply to our
question as to whether the Herald dis
approved the speech, we hasten to make
the only a0ieHdo in our power by giving
the above explicit declaration as to what
it did say on that occasion.
