IT Is believed that Colonel Tom
Scott will not accept the presidency
of the United States unless he can
have a lease for ninety-nine years,
and Colonel Bradley, Of Huntsville,
will never assent. This matter must
be settled when the Memphis and
Charleston stockholders are recon-
vened on the Dist proximo.

THE virtues Of the passive policy
will be first tested in a local senate
rial election in Pennsylvania. To
morrow the election occurs. A Radi-
cal convention nominated Henry
W. Gray, a supporter OF Grant, and
A. K. Mcclure, an anti Grant Re-
publican, opposes him. The Demo-
Gratis have no candidate. 1t is SEN
terism over sgain. This election in
Pennsylvania attracts great attention,
not only for the reason above sug-
gested, but because Mr.. Mcclure is
well known in Federal politics.

CHRIST CHURCH,

where long before the appointed hour
a large number of citizens had as
sembled. The church was over
crowded, and many had to remain
outside. 1t is seldom we have seen
30 many gathered together to testify
their sorrow for the loss and to ex-
press their high sense and profound
esteem for the memory of a fellow
being. Arriving at the church the
coffin, on which was placed a wreath
of e~vergreens, fit emblem Of him
who so truly wore the wreath of fame
on earth and wears that Of life on
high, was taken out Of the hearse by
the following

POLITICAL EFFECT,

We may assume that the members
of the committee have not resolved
upon this long Journey without due
consultation with their colleagues and
advisers. They are coming for a
purpose, and no doubt with the resolve
to make a report which is to shield
their friends from reproach. The
files Of five newspapers for three
weeks would give all the information
which bears upon the matter under
inquiry.
We hope the committee will be re-
ceived and welcomed with all due re-
spect, attention and hospitality; and
we further hope that their report
may be such as to show the
~uselessness of their mission and
Of all similar ones. We are not
among those who have solicited Fed
eral interpositiOn, transient or perma-
nent, either Of the military or of the
civil authorities, expecting no benefit
in any case, and seeing no proper end
that cOHAd be subserved. We regard
these formal congressional inquiries
into local irregularities in States as
covert assertions of the right of con-
gress to interpose its authority as a
remedy, while our State and local
governments are competent for all
that may arise within their respective
spheres. These congressional inqui-
sitiOns are wrong in theory, useless in
effect, and dangerous as precedents.
Out OF the often-exercised function of
inquiry may readily and rapidly grow
the assumption Of power to control.
These peripatetic committees of in
vestigation + derogatory to the dig
nifty and threatening to the political
Independence of States.

A CONGRESSIONAL VISIT
The Committee to Investigate the New
Orleans lmbroalIO-Hhat will It
Accomplish

The New Orleans PicaytEne Of Fri
day has the following:
So it appears that the committee
raised by the United States house OF
representatives to inquire and report
concerning recent quarrels in LOuisi-
ana, will come to New Orleans. Be
ing four in number, the expense will
| be, for mileage and other charges,
about sixty thousand dollars.
What will the members of the COM
mittee do when they are here? What
can they learn besides what has been
faithfully recorded from day to day
by city journals? What can they find
out concerning the spirit and merits
of the quarrel more than could be
gathered from our editorial comments
from day to day? After they have
ascertained who is to be blamed for
what has happened, what will they
do or say about it? What effect can
their report have, and who are to be
benefited by it? If the committee
CENsURE CARTER
and the absenting members Of the
senate and house, what effect can the
censure have here, in Washington or
elsewhere? What good will the ZEN
sure do the members who took their
seats from day to day and tried to
earn their per diem by answering at
roll cali? But IL their action is ap-
proved, what good ian the approval
do TO Colonel Carter or to the men,
bers who ~concurred with him? What
the general assembly has done since
the settlement will not be undOne.
The State will not be relegated to a
provincial condition and martial law
in any case. Congress will not
DEPOsE GOVERNOR WARMOTH,
nor reinstate Speaker Carter, nOr pun
ish members on either side, nor blame
General Emory, nor abolish the New
custOmhouse, nor sink the
Wilderness, nor convert Mechanics
institute into q bonded warehouse,
nor adOptL Ouisiana's latests of leg
The members of the commit
tee will become alternately the guests
