Louisiana and the South.
II is~ cause for general satisfaction In the
South that the northern press Is nj last OPEN
ING tie columns to The wrongs Of the SOUTH
ern s,ases-wrongs pcrpctrated through
combinations of strangers and negrocs-car'
pet-bsggers and ignorant and blind poor
creatures who are mislcd and used and
abused by the birds Of passage and of prey
let loose by the war upon the South and
backed and supported by Federal bayonets.
Colonel FonsEY. Of The Philadelphia Press,
now speaks out plainly upon Che Louisiana
outrases. He devotes the fc!lewing pungent
paragraph to Judge DrBglL, United States
circuit judge in New Orleans, from Vermont !:
"Really Judge Durell, of Louisiana, would
be more at Zone In Russia, or some other
despoft and illiberal empire, than in the
United States and as circuit judge. His
last exploit is the suppression Of the New
Orleans Times on fimsy pretext, trumped
Court tntcrfered in Louisiana. The cond-
ton Of that miserable State is now little bet
ter than that of Chinese province
In mother article Colonel FoRNET most
earnestly commonds to the attention Of his
readers the statement made by the commit
tee from New Orleans headed by Judge
CAxcDEu. "Thesc gentlemen" he says,
Gin their address recitc the weltsnown facts
"of the case, and some others with which
"the public are not so we'll acquainted.
Business In the Crescent City Is paralyzed.
"thc State capita! Is filed with troops, anG
ga cloud hangs over the whole future Of the
estate"
1t Is great thing gained by the South to
get at the eyes and ears Of tho northern
people. Their wrongs have been kept from
Tie northern people. The verbal statements
made to the Administration by the black
guard carpet-baggers and ignorant negroes
were published and scattered broadcast over
tie North; but contradiction and correction
never found their way in the track Of the
yillainous SANDERS that had been dissent.
l.a:cd among the people.
The Press, after referring to the merits Of
the case in Louisiana, adds that the
next bone Of contention is to be
the contest for the senatorshp Of Louis
lam, the competitors for which are the
mulatto PiNcuBAcK and Cclcnct CASEY,
the Presidents brother,in-law. The Press
adds: "With every promise of transac-
ton like that which resulted in the choice of
PATTERSON from South Carolina" i. e.. that
CASEY will succeed through bribery, as PAT.
TEEsoS did.
We repeat, it is gratifying to us to know
that we ut last are getting to the cars Of the
northern people. 4 hearing Of the right
where there is power to right the wrong
is Z good way on towards Fighting the
wrong Assurcdly the persecution Of our
PROSTATE people through the vile agencies that
ai!liet the South cannot continue many
years in this age of general intelligence and
uncxampled and thorough and quick ditlu-
sion Of information without being under
stood and appreciated by the northern half
OF this Union. The election of General GRANT
makes the persecution Of the South and the
suppression Of the truth of southern outrages
no longer necessary to the continuation Of his
power, and however some asprantS to bis
place may think it advantageous to them
selves that these wrongs should be continued
and tiieir publicity restricted, the organs OF
the Administration do not all feel bound to
help their views, and those of them " no do
not are giving the South 4 hearing. The
current Of justice is therefore beginning TO
fiow through northern channels. By-and-
by we trust we shall see some good effects |
thcrefrom.
Certainly the South and the North arc
united in sympathy through their CONNER |
ciai relations. There is no rivalry between
The sections. One wants what another has, |
nad that other in return fluids what its |
brother section produces Indispensable. to |
it, occupation and thrift. Therefore it is q
matter of vital Importance to each section
lhlt the other should thrive aud flourish ;
and this makes it of the greatest impor-
law, and right, and peace, and prosperous
industry shall prevail everywhere.
HOW Is IL, THEN? That the grand
sections Of this great Union should longer
permit the low arts and devices of scuryy
politicians to paralyze business, to disor.
gauize industry, and impair the peace and
prosperity OF the nation? Why cannot the
sections and the Government unite in bar
llonious measures for the RESTORATION
OF PEACE, ORDER, RIGHT, AND
PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY IN THE
