LOUISIANA NAffERS.

For some time contest has been 60
ing on in Louisiana, which has been in
tenscly bitter and threatened to termi
nate in bloodshed. ftwas brought about
by the authorities refusing to allow Re.
publican voters to register before cleo.
ton. According to congressional net,
in case legal voter is denied the privi.
lige Of voting, his affidavit stating these
facts and his choice of candidates is re-
ceived by tho canvasscrs as his vote. In
compliance with this law many afidav-
its were sent out by leading Republicans
and sworn to by those whose votes were
rejected. Warmoth, candidate for the
U. 8. Senate, knowing that these affidav-
its, if received, would elect y Republican
Legislature and thus defeat him, procur-
ed tho reorganization of the board of
canvassers, contrary to law, it is claimed.
Then application was made to the U. S.
Circuit Court, and an order was obtain.
ed restraining this board from acting.
Tho order was not obeyed and the Dem
ocratic state ticket and Legislature were
declared elected. Tho Warmoth board
was arrested for their contempt of the
order of court and the Legislature con-
vened. Troops werc called out to en-
force the order restraining the Warmoth
Legislature from meeting and possession
was taken of the State house. The Leg
islature declared elected by the old board
mot and brought in articles of impcsch-
ment against Warmoth. Pinchbeck was
placed by them in the Governors chair,
being Lieutenant Governor. Judge FL
moro enjoined Pinchbcck from acting,
and the Republican Legislature ordered
Elmoro arrested for contempt The Fed
eral authorities recognise Pinchbcck rs
the lawful executive. Tho middle is H.
able to DO settled soon. Pinchbeck is
quite likely to DO elected Senator.

Mr.. Gould's course is as follows:
When the symptoms are first noticed,

Do not use the horse unless compelled
to do SO, and then no must be driven no

With all the generous provisions mode
by Congress towards rewardinS in u
measure, the soldiers Of the late war,
We believe the right thing 10 not done
yet. Very many soldiers there arc
whose term Of service has not come
within the purvicw of any law now in
force. Grants Of lands arc well enough,
but grants Of money would be better.
1t seems to US that law might be franz
cd which would give tho soldiers the
choice off, bounty Of l60 acres Of land, or
an equivalent in money. Not every
soldier is prepared to take his land and
look after it. Tho public lands arc prot
ty well culled, too, and it is not every
section open 10 settlement that affords
rory desirable farms. The most rea-
eonable plan, in our mind, would DO to
allow the soldier . certain sum per
month for each and every month he
served during tho war, without regard
to the time. II he served ono month,
let him have the money he is entitled to
under this plan. Many good soldier
has received no compensation for his
services and docs not draw q bounty
Under the provisions Of any law. I'm
Ter such . law each and all would
receive their share. The public lands
an be disposed Of in some other way.
Money is what most of the soldiers
want and this plan, wo think, would
meet with their approval.
