OUR TESTIMONY.

we have SO recently reviewed the posi-
tiops Of the parties contending for the
control Of the public affairs Of the State,
that it is unnecessary to comment further
upon it at this moment, but as it is IN
timated that the President is preparing
his message with the most kindly seni-
ments toward the Southern people. we
deem it q duty to add the testimony Of
the REPUBLICAN as impressing those sonti-
ments more strongly upon him. This
testimony can not but from our stand
point be accepted as impartial. The Re-
PUBLICAN then assures the President that
no people were ever more orderly and
obedient to law, than the people Of New
| Orleans and Louisiana in the State and
federal elections recently held. That the
| relations between the races are kindly and
cordial, the coIored people voting by the
side Of the whites, openly without
military protection, State or federal,
and free from insult or molesta-
ton. Whatever difficulties have
arisen since the election are simply official,
and are not alleged to have sprung from
any force or fraud of the eople. The
controversy now pending has not arisen
from the casting Of the vote, but from the
counting Of the vote. This yindication Of
order and harmony is not only proper for
executive consideration, but to counteract
50 far as it may the SANDER that New
Orleans is under control Of lawless 1nobs,
This Islander has not only prejudlcod the
mind Of Congress, but has impeded i'm
migration and excluded capital What
ever, then, may be the result Of legal or
political questions growing out Of the
Louisiana elections, the REPUBLICAN deems
it a duty to assure all whose opinion may
have bearing upon the political or com
mercial condition Of New Orleans and
Louisiana, that the people, without regard
to race, color or previous condition have
demeaned themselves well, and deserve
we'll of the country for their conduct III
the recent State and federal elections.

PEACE THROUGH THE LAW,

Either the Times is doubtful about It's
law, or it is afraid Of Judge Durell, that it
disturbs the public with pleadings that
are Of that character considered as rant
in q court room and with facts that viii
not bear swearing to. Why did the Con
gress of the United States soIennly IN
dertake to protect the electors Of Louis
lana if its courts We're not to take cog
nizance Of the frauds that were perpetrated
upon the ballot box? Why did Judge
Duren appoint supervisors and instruct
them to watch the ballot boxes if he did
not intend to make use Of their evidence
to protect the voters in having their
votes fulfil their duty? And to what
better use could he put the laws Of Con
gress and the observations Of his super
visOrs than to arrest the action Of the men
who were charged with the preparation Of
frauds upon the electoral rights Of the peo-
pie? Either Congress engaged in a very
useless and unnecessary piece Of legislation
when it enacted the election law Of the
last session, or else we are merely realizing
the benefits Of that law; either Judge Du-
rell engaged in very wasteful piece Of
business when he appointed the super
visors Of election, or else the people Of
Louisiana are now enjoying their rights
from the protection afforded by these self
same supervisors: and either the Times
does not understand the benefits oE these
probationary efforts, Or it is afraid their
effects will destroy some Of its schemes.
We assume that the parties who are
abusing the proceedings before the United
States Circuit Court are afraid, because
they act as il they were. = :aan in

HIGH-HANDBD OUTRAGE.

Messrs Morgan, Kimbro and McNiel,
politicians of the Conservative persuasion,
are charged, under oath, with having
committed some violation Of the election
law in Marengo county, Alabama, and
have been taken into custody by the
United States marshal at Selma. It ap-
pears that these energetic partisans were
on their way to Montgomery to claim
their seats in the House Of Representa-
tiyes, having secured certificates OF cleo
ton thereto. Now. whether the ofense
with which they are charged had any
bearing upon their own cases whereby
these certificates were secured, we are not
informed by the telegraph. Certain it is,
however, that their detention changes the
prospects for the organization os the
House, which, it appears, would other
wise have been effected on % Consecutive
basis. The New Orleans Times character
ICES the proceedings as high handed
outrage" but as there is some ambiguity
about it, we hardly know which party
comes in for the ccnsUre, whether the
marshal, who merely performed 3 disa-
greeable duty, or the three Conservative
gentlemen VINO are charged with having
merely committed '.some violation 0: the
election law"
From our knowledge Of the Times, Is
we'll known attachment to law, and the
fidelity with which It insists upon strict
obedience to all legal authority. we are
constrained to believe the censllre is in
tended for the indiscreet prisoners who
bungled their work so badly that they
were caught, and are now in danger q
exposure, thereby mourning liability to
punishment, and at the same time i'm
periling the party interest. Yet it would,
perhaps, have been in better taste to await
the result. Perhaps the three men are
not guilty, and will be able to prove their
innocence. In that case no harm viii
come to them, and no outrage, highland
ed or otherwise, will be shown by the
proceedings. But if we are mistaken as
to the meaning Of the Times, and it is the
marshal after all who has committed the
outrage, then we have presented the spec
tacle Of a partisan newspaper transferring
from the culprit to the officer Of the law
that censure which great crime naturally
excites in the minds oflaw-abiding people.
If the three enterprising Conservative
gentlemen had succeeded in reaching
Montgomery and taken part in the organ
ization Of the House, and thus reaped the
fruit of their offense in. violating the cleo
ton law, they would have been guilty Of
very great outrage upon the people Of
Marengo county; but as they have been
nipped in mid caree5 and marched Of. %
Mobile. we feel an assurance tina: 10 great
harm has been consummated.

reported for service to the Confederate
government. He was assigned rank, and
was soon recognized as one Of the first
soldiers in a war which was on both sides
prolific Of military genius. Wherever
there was @ desperate enterprise he Was
relied on. Whenever the steady, resolute.
unRinching courage of the ADglo-Sazon
was required there was this trusted man.
Compliments: Yes, Of President, Cabi-
net Congress, and the plaudits Of editors
assigned to duty on newspapers we're
boundless. he. with others like him, was
the shield Of the non-combatnnt con-
tractor and othe1 able-bodied exemptsnow
in good part among the most clamorous
and intolerant Of his assailants. Was ne
wounded in the Confederate cause? Yes,
desperately, but never SO badly that he
did not return to lis post with the first
CLEAN of couvaIescance Nothing released
this man from his obligations-wounds,
defeat. the injustice Of which all officers
often nothing absolved him
from his self-elected allegiance until he
surrendered his sword with the last organ
lied force Of the Confederacy. Yet as this
man has chosen to demonstrate the sin
cerity Of his renewed allegiance to the
federal government by supporting one adj
ministration and one Republican candi-
date instead Of another, he has been
yillifed by ez-Confederate newspapers,
and spoken Of as actuated by every mo-
tive which could influence a nercenary
coward. We have supposed character
which may be verified. Let it be COM
pared with that taken by the Picayme.
If it be remorsaless to abandon and de-
nounce the man who went from. weakness
to power, from poverty to wealth, from
people divided to party which accepted
and rewarded him how should We desig
nate the spirit which accepted the sacri-
fees and services of the man we have
described, and repaid him with obloqny
and hatred?

Oar neighbor, the REPUBLICAN, seems to
be greatly delighted because it has been
enjOined from publishing the election re-
turns. 1t announces the fact in an extra
Times.
If our logical neighbor has discovered
any signs of jubilation in the REPUBLICAN
in consequence Of the litigation growing
out of the election, he must have been
looking for them with determination to
find. We beg to assure everybody that
we can see no credit in being Jolly under
the very painful circumstances which sur
round u.s. Possibly Mark Tapley would
embrace such an occasion to come out
strong, but we are not so constituted. We
still adhere to the common rule, and
confess to anxiety and unhappiness when
the constituted authorities of the State are
unable, by their personal dislikes and
partisan zeal, to discharge their duties
without an appeal to the restraining hand
Of federal authority.

HON. O. 4. BREWSTER.

We learn with pleasure that the re-
ported outrages to the Senator elect from
Ouachita parish have little or no founda-
ton in fact. It is always to US more
agr eeabIe to chronicle condition of law

ar chy, and we therefore gladly accept the
testimony of Mr.. Brewster on the right
side.

that sort avail! him in q trial before
the Senate for misden1eanor in Office?
Most assurodly not. But it is not true
that Judge DureI conducts the business
of his court in such slip-shod way, The
case came up in open court, not in cham
