It is with profound sorrow that we re-
cord the death of General AMBROSE
RANSOM WRIGHT, If Augusta.
General Wright was one Of Georgia's
most distinguished sons. As an officer of
The Confederate Army, as member of the
bar, in the Editorial sanctum, and in the
social circle, lie was alike distinguished and
honored. A man of great personal magne-
tism, be made friends in every sphere Of
life.
We had formed for him warm personal
attachment. A friendship begun during
an association in the army, had been ce-
mented by the ties of the editorial sane
TIM. AS friend and as al editor we
sincerely mourn his loss.
To his bereaved family and to his aSso-
ciates upon the staff Of the Chronicle and
Sentinel we extend our most heartfelt SYM
pathies. His death at this time, Just as he
was about to enter upon his duties as a
member of Congress, is a loss not only to
Georgia, but to the whole South.

The Louisiana Case.

Nothing can show the rapid tendency to
Capitalization in the Federal Government
more clearly than a comparison between
The course pursued by President Buchanan
in regard to an election trouble III Wis
consin during his administration, and that
adopted by General Grant in the Louisiana
case, in which the condition Of affairs was
almost identical. Twelve or more wears
ago there was an election in Wisconsin for
Governor and State officers. AS was the
case in Louisiana, the law appointed
Board of officers to canvass the returns
and declare the result. This was
done, and W. A. BarstOw was declared
elected Governor by a small majority. An
appeal from this decision was taken TO the
Supreme Court of the State, pending
which Barstow was sworn in, and his COM
petitor, Bashford, also took the oath Of
office. Both claimed to be Governor.
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin, after
full hearing, decided that it had authority
to revise the official canvass, and did so,
thereby Glecting Bashford. Barstow was
u bOIHONIGl(1 GliAh 4hIs 1)uSIIdLdII " do
President. Had Barstow, pending the
hearing OF the case, applied to the United
States CouIt for an injunction prohibiting
the State Court from acting Oh the case,
and another prohibiting BashtOrd from act
.ng as Governor, and declaring Rarstow
elected, and directing the Marshal to en-
ploy Federal troops to sustain him; and
had the President ordered the troops to
carry out the orders of the Federal Court,
and forced upon the State Of Wisconsin
Governor whom the people had rejected,
then there would have been precedent
for the louisiana case, and, probably,
precedent for popular revolt in Wisconsin
that would have startled the whole country.
But the President left the enforcement and
Interpretation of the laws of Wisconsin to
the Courts of that State, and to the de-
cision Of its Supreme Court there was
prompt obedience.

Even Kellogg, by his own intimations, has
of these returns, and declared that Conser-
vative candidates were elected who are re-
turned by this Board as defeated by thou
sands of votes.
6. That thus, and by means Of this same
intenocutory order of Ourell, one of the
most corrupt and audacious negroes that ever
hung upon the outskirts of our community,
whose term Of office had expired, and with
it all power to act as Lieutenant Governor,
was foisted by 'nited States b2yonets into
the Chief Executive chair Of the State and
is recognized as such by the Federal Gov
ernmeHt.
:. That the immediate effects Of these
several acts. and consequences Of this in
terlccutory older of United States Judge,
are the installation, over the State OF Louis
lana, of 4 government consisting Of the fol-
lowing officials
For GOrGn0r "A L nited States Senator.
For Lieutenant Couernor The Negro
United States Collector of the Port cf
Shreveport.
For Prcside1h Of the Senate The Mu-
latto Surveyor of the port Of New Orleans.
For Speaker Of the House Of Repre-
enidtires-The United States Postmaster
at New Orleans.
For AuditOr Of thc Si0ic-The Assistant
Treasurer Of the United States.
For Senator's and Members Of tie H,ase
4 Representatives, -Sixty-eight ignorant
aud corrupt negroes, a majority Of whom
hold subordinate offices in the Collectors
and Assessors Departments Of the Unit I'd
States Government.
This is the government which has been
forced upon the people Of the State Of
Louisiana, through an order in cLancery
of d petty Judge, enforced 10y the arms Of
the Federal Government; ana these arc
the facts, under which this outrage has
been C1nsummated, upon which the
American people must now declare their
convictions and judgment.
Ii such transactions can obtain their
approval and support if the precipitate
and evidently ignorant sanction given by
the authorities at Washington be sustained
by them, then is the empire inaugurateI in
the place of the once proud republic, and
Louisiana converted from a rich and
prosperous State into negro province,
ruled by the satraps Of the cenjra! au-

which coal is buried, and this coal for the
most part is accessible. Now there are up

tind for the total number Of cubic yards Of

Grants SubVersiOn of the State Gov
eaDInent cf Louisiana.

The citizens of Louisiana who were so
insultinely told the other day that they
need not come to Washington, for General
Grant would inhexiSly adhere to his
Pinchbacll pet, nevertheless to-day pro-
Ceeded to WasMngtOn-neverth Will
demand to be heard, ere the subversiOn of
their State Government by Federal inter
ventiOn is complete and irTemediable.
Justice may be denied them, but they
are freemen as yet, and are not aware that
the right Of appeal and Of protest can be
stripped from them al the word of any
dictator.
Among the citizens Of Louisiana who
are to ask President Grants revisal of his
rash and ilnperious Intervention are
Richard Taylor and Judge Campbell,
than whom no citizeI s Ct Lou
isiara can with better warrant
speak for her best people and her real
interests. And the citizens who compose
the Committee from New O:leans which
partisan in every proper sense, bat are
known to us to be of the most respected,
intelligent, ard aw-ab:l;ng citizens Of
Louisiana.
President Grant had best not turn a deaf
ear. His feliOw-C citizens of every party are
regarding his action with an intent and
diStIustf,ll interest. His reelection, We
can tell him, avOuched no approval Of his
past, no confident trust Of his future. 1t
signifed no more than that a small ma
Ijority preferred to trust the Government III
bis Eauds rather than in those which to-
day are moulicring to dust at Greenwood.
