Political affairs in the South
and the Administration.


Political matters in the South,
particularly in Tennessee, Virgin
la and mississippi, are in a very
muddlcd condition. And the adj
lninistration at Washington is in
about as great muddle about
them as the local politicians
themselves. The most remarka
bic feature is that with most In
rivalry and even bitterness be-
tween the radical and conserva-
tive factions they are both for the
administration. Or, perhaps, it
would be better to say they are
both for Gen. Grant and cling to
him as the representative man of
the people and choice of the ma
ton. This was evident in the late
elections and is becoming more
apparent since. The Walker par
ty in Virginia, the Senter party
in Tennessee and the Dent party
in Mississippi raised the name of
the President on their banners to
rally the people to their support,
and the radicals in the States did
she same. Yet no two parties
were ever more bitterly opposed
to each other, and, in some re-
spects, were never more widely
apart in their policy. The hostlii-
ty of a few individuals of the con-
sentative party to the President,
as in the case of Andy johnson,
is personal and does not represent
the status or wishes of parties In
the South. Both the conserya
tives and radical factions, as was
said, claim and desire to repre-
sent the administration and to act
in accordance with it.
The question that forces itself
upon us here-and it is one which
the President will be compelled
to seriously oonsider-is, can this
state of things lasti Can both be
administration parties and yet be
so hostile in policy and feeling 7
1t is impossible. The President
must take his choice with one or
the other. He cannot ride on the
backs of both. political horse
mauship is equal to such a task.
What, then, win Gen. Grant do?
Ii we so back to his antecedents.
if we call to mind his conserva
tive views when he closed up the
war and wished immediate har-
mony between the two sections
and restoration of the South, and
If we may judge from his known
desire for peace, we could have no
hesitation in saying he will make
the conservatives of the South
the administration party. Nor
have we any doubt that his own
unbiased inclination would incline

shows that neither the administra-
ton nor any other power can
make the Southern people swal-
low radicalism. Should he, I'M
fortunately, take the side of the
radicals in the South-that is,
should he place himself in hostili-
ty to the large majority of the
people and public sentiment in
that section-he may cause a
great deal of trouble, but will net
be able, with all the machinery of
federal power and patronage, to
make the Southern States radical.
Indeed, the very effort to do SO
would only swell the majority
against him and his policy. We
have an example of what would
take place in the meddling of the
radical member of his Cabinet in
the Tennessee election. The in
nceofBoutwelland Creswell
only increased the vote against
Stokes, the radical candidate for
Governor.
We admit that the President is
in a very trying situation. Some
of his Cabinet are ineurable radi-
calls and will use all their infiu-
ence over him and his policy in
| their efforts to sustain their fac
ton III the South, while the rest
are Indifferent or mere political
nonentities. There is no unity,
and, as consequence, the adj
miniStration is at sea f1oundering
about among dangerous breakers.
Should lie listen to the defeated
radicals in Tennessee and Virgin
la and to the same party in Mis-
sissippi, and endeavor to override
the expression of the public voice,
his great popularity cannot save
him. The people of the North,
| even, would not sustain him in
such a course. Military DONNA
ton, as in the case of General
Candy in Virginia, and General
Ames, of Mississippi, who has
just suspended the writ of habeas
corpus, cannot be tolerated by the
/ American people. They want
peace, restoration, ands the war
closed up. They are tired and
Disguised with the pretences of
reconstruction for party purposes
and the substitution of military
rule for civil government. Any
fresh attempt to defeat the popu-
lar will in the South by the action
of the administration or the radi-
cal party would produce a terrible
conservative reaction.
What, then, is Gen. Grant to
| doe Follow the instincts of his
own nature and good sense and
throw overheard the radical mar
plots in his Cabinet. Yes, let
him remodel his Cabinet and
make a new one of able conserva-
tive men who will be united in
policy and act in accordance with
his own views. The people are with
him now and they earnestly de-
sire to support him all through.
He was and still is the hope of the
republic. But the present is a
critical time, and his future popu-
larity will depend upon the action
he may take in the political af-
fairs of the South and the choice
he may make between the parties
there. There is no evading this
alternative. Nor ought the Presi-
dent to hesitate. He is master of
the political situation. Should he
take the ultra radical ground that
Boutwell, and Creswell in his Cab
met and the extreme radicals of
Congress urge he will plunge his

luton, by reference to facts and
material proofs7
The need and value of Coolie or
oriental labor to restore the pros
perity of agriculture in these
Southern ATTITUDES, have been so
abundantly demonstrated by re-
cent examples, that to discuss the
subject appears to be a wilful
waste of words.
Let us examine one Of the most
conspicuous examples of what
can be done through even the
COolie system, operating under
conditions precisely identical with
those of the State of Louisiana
We refer to the case of the Is.
land of Mauritius, o colony of
Great Britain, lying in the In
dian Ocean, in about latitude 20.
! This island was cultivated with
much success under the old slave
system, and after the abolition
act went to effect it languished
and rapidly declined, as the other
British colonies did. Further to
retard it's resuscitatiOn, the aboli-
ton fanatics of the Sumner and
Boutwell, order in England nan,
aged to have other acts passed
inteTdicting thu Importation of
Coolies into the island. The con
sequences were manifest, The
production fell off enormously,
and John Bull began to growl
and curse over his dear sugar
The fanatics were caught asleep,
Or were, perhaps, reached by the
prevalent annoyance from the
high price of the saccharines, and
the late Coolie act was quietly
repealed in 1854 or 1866, and ORR
entail laborers poured into the
island. Behold the results, as de-
scribed in Homan's CyclOpedia of
Commerce, published by the Har-
pers in 1858. Says that writer i:
"The recent removal of interdic-
ton against the importation of
Coolies into the island has con-
tributed largely, to the prosperity
of the colony and materially au-
mented the sugar returns of 1856
and '57, over those of proceeding
years. Advices from the island
under date July IL, refer in glow
ing terms to the prosperous con-
dition of the sugar planters and
inform us of the gratifying fact
the more gratifying inasmuch as
the price of sugar has sensibly de-
clined since that date.n
The statistics of productions of
this article alone exhibit an in
crease of nearly double, in four or
FIVE years after the passage of the
repeating act, and a correspond
ing increase in the value of the
lands, and the general prosperity
of the island. It is believed now
that the island is, for extent of
cultivable land and the number
OF laborers engaged in its cultiva-
ton, the most productive in the
world. The crop of '57 and '5S
reached 24O, OOO,O 900 pounds, of the
value of thirteen millions of dol
lars-nearly double that of our
last years crop, raised by twice
the number of laborers, and at
double the cost. What it has
been more recently, we have not
the means of ascertaining definite
ly, but all reports concur that the
[ progress and increase have been
steady aud uninterrupted. These
results have not even provoked
any complaints from negrophiIists.

THE STATE AUDITOR WICK
LIFE WOUNDED financial Diff
cuItieS the Cause.-Last evening
Royal street, near Bienyille, was
the scene of o difficulty between
Mr.. G.. M. WicklifEe, Auditor of
Public Accounts, and Mr.. J. K.
Gourdin, a gentleman from the
parish of St. James.
Mr. Gourdin has been in the
city several days, and on two or
three occasions has made inef-
fectual efforts to induce Mr.. Wick
life to sign or audit some ac-
counts he possessed. Yesterday
he called again at the Auditors
office, but was informed that,
business hours being passed, he
could receive no attention. At
this answer Mr.. Gourdin became
somewhat incensed, saying that
if he could not see the official in
the Office he would see him else
where. He then left, and mnst
have remained in the neighb0r-
hood on Royal street, for when
Mr.. Wickiiffe soon after passed
along the street be was met by
Mr.. Gourdin, who insisted on
holding a conversation, which the
Auditor endeayored to avoid, but
he was compelled to listen to the
gentleman's words, which grew
warm and loud, resulting in his
calling Mr.. Wickliffe a scOundrel,
and other hard names. Mr.. Wick
life then collared him and slap
ped his face in the street. Mr..
Gourdln immediately drew a pis-
toll and fired, but missed his mark.
Officer Shannon arriving, wrest-
ed the weapon from him, and the
wordy war was resumed, but not
for long, as Mr.. Wicklife drew
his revolver and knife, and it is
said, fired, one shot, with effect.
Mr.. Gourdin, having freed him
self, drew a deringer and again
fired, the ball striking the Audi
tor in the left arm, above the ell
bow, where it lodged, inflicting
an ugly wound.
Officer Shannon arrested both
both belligerents, taking Mr..
Wickliffe to surgeons Office on
Bienville street, where the wound
was dressed. The Auditor, wear
ing suit of white clothing, of
course made a sad appearance, as
the blood, which flowed freely,
was smeared from breast to feet.
The officer who arrested them,
made charges that they had fired
pistols in the street, to the dan
ger of the lives of citizens. Mr..
Gourdin was released. on furnish
ing heavy bond, and the Audi
tor, we think, was released on his
parole. When he retired to his
home, and his wound was again
dressed, he seemed to be as COM
Portable as the circumstances
would admit of, fer the wound is
not likely to prove mortal,

there was an intense excitement,
