A lucid statement of the troubles in Louisi-
ana, their eyolutiOns and present status, is
published by the Committee of New-Orleans
citizens. AS herewith presented, this aggra-
waiting outrage on the people of Louisiana Is
utterly without excuse or form of law. The
legal bearings of the case are well stated;
and we commend them 10 the careful exam
ination of the reader. But more conspicu-
Gus feature of the proceeding is the prostitu-
ton of Federal official power to mere political
purposes. Judge DuTen, whose fat made
and unmade Governors and Legislatures,
! is candidate for the United States
Senate, rs well as q United States
Judge. The Speaker Of the Kellogg House
of Representatives is the Postmaster OF
/ New-Orleans; and suboTdnates and tide
walters aTe stuffed into every available place
of State influence. Pinchback, who pretends
to be Acting Governor, because he was pre-
siding officer of q Senate which has now no
existence, has already commissioned himself
Congressman at Large, and is also candidate
for tho Senate; and another candidate for
that once honorable Office is Collector Casey,
the Presidents brother-in-law. And this is the
state of things which is sanctioned by At
torney- General Williams, "by direction of the

A second trial, even in a capital case, is
usually barren of dramatic interest. The re-
hearing of the Stokes case, yesterday, was no
exception TO the general rule, and, so far, the
evidence has been but repetition of that
adduced on the former trial. There can be, it
would seem, no new movement on the part Of
the prosecution, which hns just opened we
may expect development of fresh tactics in
the defense when it shall take up It's part.

The present "eold snap" which extends
westward as far as the Missouri River and
eastward into Now-EDgland, seems to have
produced numerous fires. We hear of disas-
ters by fire, bursting steam 1ues, and other
incidents Of severely cold weather in all
directions. These prove how inadequate, after
al, are our inventions for the common usages
of life; they indicate, too, great deal of
carelessness with fatal imperfections.

In Indiana they are trying to remedy the nuisance
of the plea of insanity in criminal bill be-
fore the Legislature of that State provides that
whenever an indicted person is found not guilty by
reason of his temporary insanity the Court shall
send him to a lunatic asylum for q term Of years
proportionate to his crime. We have MT much faith
however, in subterfuges of this kind. The whole
idea of sending patient to the lunatic asylum for
term of years is absurd; and one save real lu-
matte should be sent to such asylum at all. If the
plea of temporary insanity is subterfuge let judges
and jurors show that they understand it to be such
by disregarding it altogether.

We confess that we are rather than else shocked
by the account Of funeral which we find in Mas

Methodist, and were very solemn and affecting to
the numerous relatives and friends present. The
Doctor looked perfectly natural as he lay in his
coffin seeming 10 say to his old friends, What's all

Gen. Sickles seems to feel greatly encour-
aged at the step which the Spanish Govern
ment has taken in the direction of reforms IN
the Antilles. Even at the moment when RUIZ
Zorrilla was making his unfortunate boast chat
no reforms should be introduced in Cuba, as
long rs q rebel should remain in the island,
his ministry appear to have been preparing TO
begin the work of reform in Porto Rico. They
have brought into the Cortes proposition to
extend over that Island the provincial govern
ment of Spain, and upon this act they re-
ceived an almost unanimous vote OF confidence.
As q partial justification of tho hopes en-
tertained by the friends of Emancipation, II
is noticeable that on yesterday bill
was introduced into the Senate providing for
the immediate abolition Of Slavery in Porto
Rico. This measure was earnestly demanded
two years ago by BaldoriOty and Padial,
deputies from the lesser Antilla, but was denied
on the ground that abolition in Porto Rico
would endanger the security of slave property
in Cuba. This is undoubtedly true, and If the
Spanish Cortes and Government have courage
enough to initiate this great reform in spite OF
the Casino of Havana, they will deserve and
receive the grateful Acknowledgements of man
kind.

LONDON, Nov. THE Standard up
holds the principle on what the Southern
States seeded from the Union as opposed to
Republicanism, which it denounces as de-
lfication of the passions of temporary ma
jority, and as identified with personal and
political corruption. In consequence of
the supremacy of the Republican party,
the States are loaded with enormous debts
and foreign holders of their securities re-
ceive nothing. The Republicans are re-
sponsible also, for the instruction i'm Gu

of the Emperor Macmillan. The Demo-
Gratis however, are no better.

He Returns 20 the City and Rests From
His Rounds, Knowing He has Done
Great Good.
Mr.. Johnson is in the city, and spent
the day yesterday in No. 5 Maxwell House,
resting on the truly trying labGrs he has
been undergoing recently. He had slept
and freshened up greatly by after-tea,
and was inclined to dwell upon the incl
dents of the late warm and wearysome
canvass.
He told Banner reporter that he felt
very well satisfied be the result what it
might, as he had as the standard-bearer of
the free and independent people of Tonnes
see, disrupted the smothering crust which
was formed over the best hopes of the
State. He had the prestige of no conven-
ton, but did the bidding of those who
were sick nigh unto death of such f1imsy
shams as had been called conventions in
this State, of late. Mr.. johnson said that,
while his undertaking had been an i'm
mense one, and had taxed his physical self
very severely, he had really enjoyed the
canvass, and many times and many places
it had been like a regular "love feast.n
That gratitude was something sweet to one
who engenders it. That he had been treat
ed so often to the sight of the grateful face
of some one who had CHANGED to receive
some favor at his hands, that he could but
remember the canvass most pleasantly.
He did not say this boastfully, nor as
though it were mere mOrsel of self-grat-
ulation, but he spoke it with a genuine,
undisguised pride, and furthermore said
that, whenever a Tennesseean had come
to him, as had happened not unfrequently,
and said to him, 'Mr. Johnson, want to
shake your hand, " his heart could but en-
