Senator Kellogg and Louisiana Interests

We have more than once recognized the value OF
the public services Of Senator Kellogg of this State
and we again take occasion to express high appre-
citation of his efforts to forward the work Of the day.
the southern route to the Pacific. More than year
ago, when that he chose to disconneet himself
from the class Of alien representatives. who were neg
lecting their supposed constituencies, in serye devo-
ton to the behess Of Radical partisans and that he
had the character aud the ability mark out bis own
career and more than ALL when saw he was concen-
tratng all Of bis time and ability on great enterprise
Notwithstanding our political differences, ventured
the warmest approval OF his course and the prophecy
that he alone Of Southern Senators would survive this
day of small men and establish an enviabIe and hon
ogabe reputation for himself
1t may yet be in his power, then said, to link
his name with the success of Southern Pacific road
This might well crown the measure Of any ordinary
ambition.
We beg Senator Kellogg to continue his present
course-to ignore the petty things of the hour, and
devote himself heart and SOUL to the great object he
has, so far, kept steadily in view, and soeliege,
most faithfully represented.
Now, land this, We confess, is an after thought
while it would be as unjust to their memories as it
would be unfair to Mr.. Kellogg, to compare him with
such predecessors as Henry johnson and Alexander
Porter-men whose long lives and eminent abilities
have been devoted to Louisiana-our rejecting readers
will not fail to note, amid the vicssitudes of the times
and the events Of the day, the greater difference be-
tween our Senator IA faithful man to our material in
erests and silent to the political differences
of his constituency and such creature Hamilton,
the newly elected Senator from the newly reconstructed
and eWlyadmitted State of Texas or to mark the in
decent haste Of the latter to traduce and malign the
people of Texas. He has clearly shown, or ought to
have shown to the Northern mind, the value of even
senatorial testimony from the mouth Of a scalawag
Why, not to speak of own State, we have no doubt
Mississippi is fortunate in the sable Reyels in compar-
son with Texas and her white Morgan Hamilton. We
beg Mr. Kelloggs pardon for the accidental junction
or association of his name with either Senator: but
reconstruction invites strange contrasts. We are not
responsible for them. 1t makes but one Kellogg out
Of the whole representation from all the States lately
in rebellion" We are so we'll satisfied with our CON-
paratiVe representative position, Chat leaving out of
view altogether the unknown Harris the colleague Of
Mr.. Kellogg, we challenge comparison between our
Senator and the Senator from any other Southern

lHE fIcNIc.-on yesterday morning many a little
heart IN Shreveport, Hayille and at all the inter
mediate landings, was in a hutter of excitement in
anticipation of the high old fun on hand Think of a
thousand little members y working away with forty
horse power sending the blood leaping through all

two thousand little feet on the spring two thousand
chubby hands twitching nervously; two thousand

when WEAKNESS and hunger succeed action and excite
men thousand little mouths ready to take in an

course of children never before witnessed in
this region assembled at the pleasant little village of

amusement of the great number of children of a lar
ger growth who accompanied the Juveniles, to direct
their sports and check their too fierce assaults upon
the rare edibles supplied in such lavish profusion
The party left this place about half past eight in the

Magma Charter Of our republican institutions, guaran-
teeing to the States all powers not specially delegated
to the General Government perfeetng that beautiful
system which made the States and Federal Govern
ments distinct the pillows but as the sea has
been swept away by the party in power, who deem it
best for their seshsends to concentrate all the
power in the Congress-to render this centralized
despotism. Sumner, Drake, Morton and other Sena-
tors, who have been plotting treason against the in
tegrity Of " the Government as it was for so long,
wish to concentrate all power in the hands Of the Con-
gress which may at will override not only the re.
served rights Of the States, but the Supreme Court,
and the Executive as well. Judge Holt according to
The Baltimore Gazette, in an editorial recently pub
shed in their organ thus announces the Radical creed
upon this point:
The people, in forming their fundamental law, in
giving expression to their will in constitution re-
tanned all powers necessary to continue the united
government, ard charged the General Government
with the responsibility of its preservation. The
extent of the power possessed by the peope-that is,
the General Goyernment-for self-preservation, was
not fully known until tested in the late rebellion when
1t FULLY appeared that this supreme power extended
not only to the Of the estates and fortunes of in
digduals, but to their very lives"
