The President and Louisiana.

The Geographic account of the interview
between the New Orleans committee and
President GRANT is gratifying in one re-
spcct. The President gave them respect
full hearing, Notwithstanding the Attorney
General had informed the committee that
their visit TO Washington would be useless.
We have not doubt that the President an
Ewercd sincerely for himself. He feels that
he is still military commander, obliged to
carry out orders and reinforce the army Of
occupation when resisted So reckless
and drunken judge may make any decision,
however erroneous, or however it may
transcend his jurisdiction, and General
GRANT will, without looking into it. sustain
1t with the whole force of the Government.
We must give him credit for sincerity, and
his governing principle would be good one
if the country were IN the enjoyment of real
peace and the tribunals Of justice were pre-.
sided over by wise and capable men us for
mcriy, when they were selected properly for
their merits. But the judges in the South
are the creatures of rcroution-they were
the corrupt sedimentary deposits of society
which were forced to the top by the secth-
ing c,ldron Of civil war, which, with its hell
broth, boiled and bubbled. The time has
not come when such men so elevated to the
responsible places Of conStruers of law and
guardians of right are to be trusted. The
great mistake General GRANT makes is in
looking upon these creatures rs Trustworthy.
His supporters have declared that the bloody
chasm between the North aud South is not
hridged over. They should accept their
own theory and admit that the Executive
Department of the Government is not
yet relieved from the duty of investigating
the merits of ali nets of Federal officials in
the South. So far Us the appoiutces who
received their appointments during the pc
Rod of dstrust in the South mot well
founded, but that does not matter so far ms
discussion Is conccrncd) and Of the yet un-
abatcd rancoiS Of war are concerned, we
admit the bloody clIasm is untitled, and the
Executive Department il bound to consider
their acts just as much as though peace were
not restored. They arc revolutionary men;
they are corrupt men; they arc Of the drcgs
