To enter in the thoughts of desperate men u
Some of the disappointed aspirants for
Senatorial honors are making themselves
ridiculous, or rather their friends are doing
it for them. They threaten to get up a
protest against the admission Of Messrs.
Kellogg and Harris to their seats in the
United States Senate, and buster and brag
as if such a silly project would receive Sc
rious attention from that distinguished
body. The points upon which the prOpos-
ed contest is to De based are that the re-
construction acts require the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution to be rati-
fed prior to the transaction of any other
business, and that under the laws OF Cen
gress regulating this matter, Tuesday next
is the day fixed for holding the election
although they forget to explain what would
be the consequences should the said amend
ment not be acted upon by the day desig-
mated.
We believe when the first bitterness of dis
appointed ambition has passed away these
men will see the folly of their course; also
that their allegations Of Illegally in the cleo
ton proceedings come with bad grace from
men who strOVe SO hard to accomplish just
what Senators Kellogg and Harris succeed
ed in accomplishing. If they supposed
that an election for Senators held prior to
the adoption Of the Constitutional amend
ment would be null and void they certainly
took a queer method of showing their con.
victions. Their protest should have pre-
coded, not followed, defeat.
That the election which took place on
Wednesday was in every respect legal
there is not a bit Of doubt. The law Of
Congress under which il was held is merely
directory in its character, designed to Sc
cure uniformity of action in the various
States Of the Union; but departure from
its provisions --even had such occurred
would not necessarily invalidate an
election. Again, the Louisiana Sena-
tors do not claim seats in the SEN
ate until the Constitutional amend
ment has been favorably acted upon, SO it
can not possibly make any difference
whether their election took place before
or after this article is ratified by the Legis-
lature.
This discussion of the subject is as need
less, however, as the menaces of the sup
norters of fha % ;alf and ,aIfl' candidates Ia
mean-spirited and petty. The best proof
which could be adduced that the Senate
will not give moments consideration to
any such contest as the one proposed lies in
the congratulatory dispatches which have
been received from some of its most promin-
emit members on the excellent selections
Louisiana has made of representatives in
that body.
This is not the first instance where cha
grin has run away with common sense.

A CARNIVAL OF CRIME.

One of the most painful sickening, hOr-
rifying chapters in the history of any ooun-
try which it has been our fortune to read
is the report of the COMMITTEE on Lawless-
ness and Crime" recently made to the
Texas Constitutional Convention. Bad as
affairs were before the reconstruction acts
were passed they have latterly grown
much worse. Under the rule of
Sheridan and Mower the lawless
element was held in check to some
extent, but the subsequent proclamation of
the supremacy Of civil law by General
Hancock Sreathed new life int the law
breakers. and set them to work with re-
newed vigor.
The following are the figures showing
the number of actual murders committed
for the years named:
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-10

These figures are followed by long re-
port giving the details Of very many cases,
but we fail to find in it all single case of
punishment for any Of the murders com
mitted. Some few were put under peace
bonds, and occasionally light fine was
imposed, but nothing adequate to the mag
nitude Of the offense is reported to have
been imposed, except in case Of a few
freedmen who defended themselves sue
cessfulIy from attacks. They were severely
punished.
The following closing conclusions of the
committee are suggestive:
Previous to the succession Of General
Hancock TO the command of the Fifth Mill
tary District there was some degree Of
respect for life in Texas. The numerous
arrests of criminals BY the military authori !.
ties and the prospect of trial BY military
commission inspired bad men with salutary
fear. But on the publication of general
order No. 40, 1867, from Headquarters of
Fifth Military District, dated November 20,
q very different and very turbulent spirit
manifested itself throughout the State.
That order was understood to proclaim the
supremacy Of civil law and the suspension
of military poWer--in the treatment of
crime-and hence criminals who, It has
been demonstrated, entertain very little
fear Of the civil courts, interpreted said order
as license for the preparation Of al man
ner of yillainies. This was Evidenced at the
time by words and the tone OF the rebel
press, and more forcibly ever since by un-
restrained violence.
During the three months Of Governor
Peaseis Administrations aided and sustained
BY Generals Sheridan aud Mower, and prev
ious to the advent Of General Hancock, the
murders In Texas averaged nine per month.
The number during the other months OF the
same year averaged eighteen per month,
and, condninE our estimates 10 the records
Of tie Freedmeu's Bureau, the number
since DeeemeeE ], 1857, has averaged thirty
one per month.
During Che hsst month Of Hancock's ad-
ministration tp1cember), there WeFe tiafify
murders reported BY tbs Bureau. IN other
words, according to the lowest calculation,

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
EIR--I was glad to see your article on the

lessees have shamefully neglected the prop
erty intrusted to them, but they take very
good care to fleece the Woodworking men
who get their living by bringing TO the city
the produce Of the lake parishes. Where
else in the world can you and such exorbit-
ant charges for the use of a canal less than
seven miles long One Of their abuses is
the monopoly Of towage at fabulous prices.
No vessel IL allowed to hire any team ex-
cept those belonging to the concern, and il.
furious delays are often the consequences.
