The Warmoth and Wicklife I'm

the so-called governor of Louislan
and the Auditor of Public Account
SO far from being closed, seemed to b
continually widening. To an outside
the subject possesses but little interes
If possible we should like for the con
test to end, as the old woman hoped t
see the one between the ram and til
billy goat, in "both butting thei
id brains out" We have hear
something about an old adage whic
holds out to honest men the hope G
getting their dues in the Quarrels Q
thieves; if tie truth of the adag
should be demonstrated in the presen
instance the people of Louisiana will
have cause to congratulate themselve
on the "little unpleasantness be
tween these two high Radical officials
We fear, however, that the people vii
be the only sufferers.
1t begins to leak out that the differ.
ences between the Radical officials
originate only in a question of the dis
tribution of the stealings. Warmotl
charges that Wicklitfe issues false war
rants and pockets the money raised on
them, and a grand-jury gives plausi,
bility to the charge by indicting the
Auditor of Public Accounts. On the
other hand WiclSliffe charges that War
moth has used his Office for the purpose
of plundering the people by the whole
sale, and that he has untold thousands,
the products of his populations, depos-
tied in the banks of the city.
But the friends of the two functiona-
ries allege that the quarrel is even
more deeply seated than this. War
moth is the champion of the carpet
baggers and Wickliffe of the native
scalawags. Now, it was impossible for
these two wings of the Radical party
to get along without a collision, unless
there We're offices enough for them all
to gil. The carpet-baggers being the
more greedy have demanded the lions
share of the public plumber for them
selves, and the scalawags who furnish
the bulk of the voters are very natu-
rally determined to resist these prepos-
ferrous pretensions.
The scalawags, we must admit, have
made most fortunate and appropriate
selection of a champion to lead their
forces in the impending struggle. The
Auditor has the physique of shoulder
hitter and is not without boldness and
determination of certain kind. Be-
sides he commenced this war against
prospective carpet-baggers many years
lgo, and is, therefore, pioneer in tue
BUSINESS. While editor of a fire-eating
ournal before the war he publicly and
'ersistently advocated hanging every |
Northern abolitionist to the nearest
rec. For these peculiar services he
las succeeded in endearing himself to
he colored sovereigns, whose reasons
or hating all abolitionists are so we'll
:nown and so well founded. On the
Their hand Warmoth, too, is fair type
+ his class and will doubtless ably
epresent the interests of the carpet
aggers, and use his best endeavors to
how that the scalawags are only fit to
e their hewers of wood and drawers
f water.
The quarrel, we say, is getting inter-
sting. There have been several in
Elements mixed up with it, besides
,rits of quo acarranto, prohibition and
junction. The Auditor has actually
ad to undergo fine and imprison-
ent for 4o hours, and it is reported
lat Wickliffe will initiate the govern
IS coup Petat and call together the
legislature to impeacll his excellency.
, then, Warmoth removes Wickliffe
I'd Wickliffe removes Warmoth, and, /:
some unforeseen means, all the t
adical officials get themselves remov- {
!, how happy We shall all be. u
