Warmoth says that the "rebels of Louisi-
ana are "unwhipped of justice" When a
carpet-bag governor, who obtained his Office
by fraud and force talks in this way, it would
lead the public elsewhere to believe that the
penitentiaries have been turned inside out.
There are persons in Louisiana " unwhipped
of justice too many indeed for the safety
of the community and its character. There
are, for instance, number of robbers and as
sassins who have managed to escape detec-
ton, and good many members of the swell
mob, who have been attracted to New Orleans
by the facilities afforded for the practice of
their art under the delectable regime of the
metropolitan police, and the carpet-baggers
who have conspired to defraud the people of
Louisiana of the right of self-government.
OF all of these the carpet-baggers are infinite
~ the worst.

sVarmoth says than Andrew johnson turned
fth "rebels loose upon the country without
tebuke. But if rebuke is all that is needed,
haven't the unhappy "rebels" had enough of
it, Haven't they been condemned unlimitedly,
and vilipended mercilessly by every Radical
orator and newspaper in the country Haven't
Warlnoth himself, and the peripatetic Con-
way and the inventive Shelley, rebuked them
from night till morn, and from morn to dewy
eve INCREASINGLY Doesn't Wendell Phillips
scpld at them perennially; doesn't Greeley
denounce them perpetually; doesn't Forney
chide them continuously; doesn't Newman
pray at them hebdomadally? Why should it
be supposed that the absence of a rebuke on
the part of a derided and powerless executive
has confirmed them in the indurated contu-
macy which they manifest in pertinaciously
declining to vote the Radical ticket?

Senator Morton and Editor Greeley are car
rying on an epistolary war on the question of
resumption of specie payments. Greeley's
chief argument, in fact his whole argument,
is the same that he has employed so often in
the Tribune the way to resume is to resume
at once"-for, says this peculiarly logical
financial philosopher, ''the way for drunk
ard to reform is to reform at once" and "the
way for a sinner to repent is to repent at
once" To which Senator Morton answers
that there would be quite as much wisdom in
saying that ''the child should be born a man
in order to save time, because the way for a
drunkard to reform is to reform at once;" or
that you should attack every fortress at once,
without going through the ordinary besieging
process, because "the way for sinner to re-
pent is to repent at once" We don't know
that either of these philosophers will ever
achieve immortality, but, as between the two,
the senator clearly has the advantage in the
argument.

A few days ago Senator Morton, of Indiana
offered bill prohibiting the landing of any
telegraphic cable on the shores of the United
States without the consent of Congress.
What may be the object of this proposition
we cannot imagine, unless it be to add one
more to the long list of legislative usurpa-
tons by which Congress has attempted to
establish supremacy over all the relations of
the people and of the States with each other
That Senator Morton can seriously contem-
plate refusal to permit the extension of tele-
graphic communication between the two CONT
nents-a refusal which could only tend to
create telegraphic monopoly in the hands of
the existing company-is scarcely concsiva-
BILE. If this is not his object he must intend
to set precedent for congressional control
over subjects and rights which have hereto
fore been removed from the jurisdiction of
the federal government. Recently, as we
have already stated in the columns of the
CRESCENT, the question herein involved was
submitted to the arbitration of Mr.. G. T.
Curtis, in an amicable controversy between
the new French Cable Company, represented
by Baron d'Erlanger and his associates on one
side, and c. c. Leigh and his associates on the
other side. The point involved was the val
idity of certain rights granted by the State of
New York to Leigh, for an assignment
of which Leigh, should those rights be de-
cided valid, was to receive ten thousand
pounds. AS already stated Mr.. Curtis's deci-
sion confirmed the validity of Leigh's grant.
But if Congress has right to intervene to
prohibit the landing of cable within the
State of New York, then the rights acquired
by d'Erlanger from Leigh are, practically,
nullihed The question is one which involves
the theory of State rights on the one part and
offederal supremacy on the other part to a
greater extent than seems to be the case at
first glance

When will the monopolists and tarifites be
content with the plumber which they wiring
from the people under the plea of protection
One Morehead has just offered bill which the
press of the country should not overlook. 1t
provides, simply, for increasing the duties on
sal soda, and caustic soda, and for putting
kryolite on the free list. Sal soda and caustic
soda are simply bleaching powders, and the
proposed increase of duties would have the
effect of raising the price of printing paper
about two cents pound. The object is to
enable Morehead, or some Pittsburg manu-
facturer, to plumber the press and the pub
fishers of the country by forcing on them an
inferior article of paper at an enhanced price.
Kryolite is to be put on the free list because
a Pennsylvania firm has secured monopoly
of that article from the Danish government
The Chicago Tribune protests against this
kind of legalized robbery but the Tribune
supports party the verys foundation and es-
sense of whose policy, as exemplifed in every
department Of politics, is the system of gov
ernmental interference in the affairs of the
people which has legalized robbery for its
logical and necessary sequence.

PROTECTION AND REVENUE DUrIEs

Protectionists would hail with pleasure,
says the New York Tribune, "all reductions
on articles which we do not produce, con-
sistent with the maintenance of revenue.
This is the style in which the protection rob-
bers insult the consuming masses of the
country with yapid and impracticable sugges-
tons of relief. He is woful simpleton who
does not see that high tariff for revenue
purposes is necessitated by high tariff for
protection purposes. The protectionists
clamor constantly for more protection ; and
the fact is that, under their rotten and perni-
cious system, they periodically exhaust the adj
vantages of existing measures of protection,
and therefore periodically have more and
more need of bounty from the government at
the expense of the people. The consequence
must be, if this policy is continued, that the
duties on all articles which are not produced
in the country, and on ali articles which are
imported because of their superior quality, or
because of the deficiency of domestic produc-
ton, will continue to increase until climax
is reached fatal alike to revenue and protec-
ton. For, carried to that point, the tariff
would become universally prohibitory. The
people would seek reheffrom excessive taxation
by ceasing to consume foreign products. They
would, nevertheless, be poorer in proportion
as they were cut off from cheap, useful and
desirable products of foreign countries. In
the absence of importations, the cumulative
protection demanded by the domestic manu-
facturers would be impossible. Or, at least,
the needed emulation of bounty could only
be afforded by direct annual appropriations
from the public revenue for their benefit. And
that would be, at all events, the simplest way
of practicing this scheme of fraud and spolia-
ton which is euphemestically denominated
protection. 1t well becomes the Tribune and
other organs of the party which, in the name
of freedom, has done its utmost to make the
South perfect hell of despotism, misrule,
mischief and misery, to advocate, in the
name of protection, the robbery and impover-
ishment of the consuming millions both North
and South.

STEEL RAILS Nor A SUCCEss.-The use of steel,
instead of iron, for the rails of railroads, has not
been productive of the saving which was at first
expected of it. The surface of the steel rail is
indeed harder, and therefore wears better than
iron but steel has not the tough, fbrous charac.
ter of iron, and in frosty weather it breaks with
alarming ease. Then, although the first cost of
steel is nearly double that Of iron, old steel rails
sell for little or nothing while old iron rails are
worth half the price of new. Taking all these
facts into account it is found 10 be cheaper to lay
down good iron rails than steel ones, except in
the vicinity of stations where there is great deal
of friction from the frequent breaking up Of
trains, and but little rapid movement. Expert.
ments are, however, being made, and with con-
siderable success, TO manufacture an iron rail
with steel top, 30 as to combine the toughness
and cheapness of iron with the hard wearing sur
face of steel.
