CARROLL HALL-The concert last evening
at Carroll Hall, by Miss Caroline Richings,

it was generally understood that elections
were interferred with by the direct connivance,
if not by the direction of the administration.
1t is matter of history that soldiers were
thrown into Maryland pending an election,
who prevented duly qualified citizens from
voting for democratic candidates, thereby
securing the election of republican candidates.
1t is further q matter of history that at the
election of president in 1864, soldiers belong
ing to the army Of which Abraham Lincoln
was commander-in-chiefnot only voted where
they had no legal residence, but voted AGAIN
and again On election day, e. g., at Indianapolis
| Indiana. It is still further duly recorded
that, by the order of President Lincoln,
| newspapers were suppressed and citizens of
| the United States were arrested without war
| ront. condemned without trial, and imprison
ed without being sentenced which deeds
| in contemplation of the constitution, are "high
crimes and misdemeanors."
To make the point complete, it is only
| necessary to add that had member of the
house of representatives proposed to impeacf
| the President during Mr.. Lincoln's admins
| tration ON such slight pretexts as those upor
which Mr.. Ashley has founded his proposed
1 articles of Impeachment Of President John
son, he would have been hurried off to the OLD
Capitol prison within twelve hours afterwards
If not sent out of the country. s

If it is the "loyal men, only of the south
with whom the radicals would fraternize.
what is the trouble with the President? Has
he not proved himself loyal" in the face OF
dangers before which most of his inquisitors
would have quailed and cowed? 1t seems it
was for being southern loyalist" that the
radicals took him up for Vice President.
What he may have done since then to disap-
point mere party leaders, in holding that feal-
ty to the constitution overrides all claims of
party, cannot possibly vitiate his former char
acter tor loyalty. In history, is Andrew John
sons loyalty" likely to be set down behind
that of Jack Hamilton, Parson Brownlow,
Hunnicut, and Hahn? The very suggestion
is ridiculous. When we sift all this wild talk
about''the loyal people of the south, 1T comes
out that there is nothing to it. 1t means but
little when it is known that its most SHINING
examples and representatives are the men who
formed the acknowledgement procession
across the country.

A New Orleans paper is urging the ne
cessity of an effort to secure the trade of the
northwest down the Mississippi river En-
terprise is at work conducting in unnatural
channels the traffic which should follow the
Mississippi river to ocean ports. Eastern
capital is largely expended to draw to eastern
cities the business which, by every law OF
commerce, should 60 to New Orleans. The
cheapest transportation for produce is BY
water. With the Mississippi river unob-
structed nine-tenths of the produce of the
north west would follow it to its mouth, there
to be reshipped to home and foreign ports.
This is a subject in which New Orleans
has not an exclusive interest. ST. Louis, as
well as every other city on the river, is equal.
" interested in it. The farmers of thenorth
west are interested in it. Cheap freights in
sure larger prices for their produce.
The New Orleans Times takes the follow
ing Just view of the subject:
The Mississippi river is the natural chan
mel, and we must make 1t the popular and
permanent one. Shall we allow the north
and east to tap, by artificial connections
our own sources of trade? Unless we dc
our best to prevent this, the large expendi
ture of northern capital and enterprise. viii
take to New York, to Boston, to Philadel
phia and Baltimore, much Of the business
that hearty cooperation among the different
mercantile interests would bring here. IL
this connection we would urge the owners
and agents of shipping to consider whether
the lowest paying rates will not prove tbs
wisest policy. 1t will not do to have the
rates so uncertain and variable that ship
pers In the west cannot know whether this vii
prove the cheapest route for consignment
We shall not retain or develop this trade un
less we can have stability in rates, and wise
forethought will induce all interested to wori
to this end. a
The grain business, except simply the sup
plying Of the local trade, is entirely stagnant
This is not as it should be. New Orleans
ought this season to have ten million bushels
of grain for export instead of which we hav,
none. The rates ON the river are not tos
high to fairly compete with other routes
then why is it we lose all this business ?
Simply because we have not the facilitie
that exist everywhere in the north, west ans
east to handle grain cheaply and in bulk
The cost of sacks and the expense of hand
ling grain in that form tend to overweight on
natural advantages. The remedy is simpl
make the necessary facilities to ship grain
here and handle it in bulk. sE

Our country is passing through revolu-
tionary crisis of great and imminent peril
The conflict of arms-the least dangerous
phase af this revolution--has indeed ceased,
by the suppression of the late revolt against
the government of the Union. But a new
and more dangerous phase has supervened
1t is the attempt in congress, by a set of po
itical desperadoes, through the chicancery
and legerdemain of legislation, to subvert
our constitutional republic as founded by the
fathers, and to substitute in its place Con
soLIDATED DEsPoTIsN, in which the teec will
rule, and the MANY, obey and serve. 1t is
high time for the democracy, composing a
large majority of the people of this country
