THE attention of the public has been call
ed to The unusual, not to say disgraceful, con-
fiict now going on at New Orleans, and many
doubtless are puzzled to understand how two
sets Of authorities can arrive at SO different
results in counting the vote of the State
rom all that we are able to learn respecting
conflict, it appears that the candidate of
} Gov. Warmoth is the opponent of negro
suffrage, and that Warmoth and his associates
assume the right of the State to exclude the
colored voters from the polls and claim the
right to throw out the ballots of this class in
making up the returns. 1t was for this pull
pose that Warmoth summarily discharged the
returning board and constituted another.
The Kellogg party contend that the Federal
Courts may interfere to prevent the proposed
violation of the Constitution. The real ques-
ton at issue would seem to be whether the
general government has the right to interfere
to protect the rights of citizens against hos
tile local legislation in violation of the Fede-
raj laws and Constitution.

GmSGEAL SHEMnAN's REPORT shows that
he is in favor of the general Indian policy Of
President Grant. He says:
There have been no general hostilities by the
Indians this year, but the number of murders
and depredations committed by small war
parties is greater than during the year preced
ing. L fully indorse the efforts now being
made to civilize and Christianize the wild In-
dians, and think that the reservation system
and the policy of the Government toward the
wild tribes is the most liberal and humane that
has ever been adopted by any government to-
ward savage people, and so far as the military
is concerned every effort will be made to carry
out its intentions. The principal error that +
discover in its successful management is that
while efforts are being made to teach the Indian
what is right, and to induce him to do right,
sufficient Importance has not been given to
teaching him what is wrong. | very much fear
that the course pursued toward the wild Indian
does not cause him to fully realize from his
own standpoint that he is doing wrong when he
commits murders and other depredations, and
if some wise system of punishment could be
arranged and carried cut which would have the
effect of controlling him in this respect, it
would much sooner terminate the Indian troub-

HE LAST TRICK OF mayer HALL-soME-
THING ABOUT RICHARD o GoRMAN AND E.
DELAFIELD sMITH-THE wAsHBURNR RE-
CEPTIoN.
NEW YORK, DEC. s, 1872.
Mayor Hall has been performing one of
eccentric feats of sharp practice for
he has achieved such an unenviable
sty. He has appointed E. Delaield
Republican, to the Office of Corpora
ton Counsel in place of Richard O'Gorman
resigned This is altogether the most lucra-
tive Office in the gift Of the Mayor Under
the Tweed charter the term was fixed for six
years, and the incumbent secured from re-
moval, except by a sort of impeachment tri-
al by the Justices of the Court of Common
Pleas. AsHaps term expires within thirty
days, common courtesy required that he
should leave this appointment to his success
or. 1t is impossible to avoid the suspicion,
that some deep underlying motive has prompt
ed this act of indelicacy.
Mr.. OGorman came to this country few
years ago, refugee from Ireland, where he
was under ban for participation in the last re-
bellion. He is the most eloquent of the immi-
grants which that fiasco drove to our shore,
and his fascinating manners, engaging address
captivating oratory speedily made him
,orte with his countrymen, and as to be
rishman is = sure passport to distinction
he Democratic party he only had to wait
till he was naturalized, to receive nominal
ton for the best place under our city govern
ment.
At the time of his candidacy the citizens
association was endeavoring to work reform
in the personnel of our municipal service,
and its leaders had a conference with Mr.
OGorman, which resulted in assurances
from him, that, if elected, he would admin
lister the office with the strictest regard to
their views OF economy and efficiency. He
expressed lively sympathy with their pre-
cts OF reform, and so completely won their
God will by his earnest professions that thew

A CASE will soon be carried to the United
States Supreme Court that involves questions
that are of great interest to every State in the
Union. A recent legislature of Illinois en-
acted law fixing the maximum tariff on the
railroads in that State. Under this act, a
suit has been brought to compel the Chicago
and Alton railroad company to discontinue
its practice of charging discriminating freight
tariff. At the hearing the company contend
ed that when its charter was granted, the
State gave it the right to fix its own tariff.
In reply to this it was argued that the sover-
eighty of the State must always remain unim-
paired. Judge Upton of the Circuit Court
took this view and thus affirmed the constitu
tionality of the law. 1t goes to the United
States Supreme Court.
