his acts was brought before tho Cir
cult Court of tho United States.
We do not assume to decide on the tech
meal regularity of Judge Durel's proceed
ings. If he has transcribed his powers,
the judicial system opens the way for q
correction of the error. The Court has
simply overuled the high-hauded measures
Of Warmoth on case properly presented
to its consideration, and the part which
General Emory has had to perform, in en-
forcing the DEGREES Of federal court, has
been an extremely difficult and delicate
one. His course seems to have been
marked by great temperance and
Judgment, and no serious disturbance
OF the peace has been provoked
1t is difficult to exaggerate the evils
which this man Warmoth, whose career is
now near its close, has brought on the I'M
fortunate State he has SO long ruled. Loui.
siana, under him, has not only been plum.
dered, but it has been oppressed. Life and
property have been rendered insecure in
many parts of the State, and particularly
so in the capital, where bis influence has
been most felt.

IT is said that bill will soon be offered
in the House Of Representatives for q re-
mission of duties on goods imported by
Boston merchants and destroyed in the
great FIRE. The bill will be similar to the
one passed in 1888 for the relief of mer-
chants who suffered in the New York fire
Of 1885. Its principal feature is the issu-
ing of certificates to tho merchants who
lost goods for the amount Of duties paid,
which are to be received by the Govern
msnt as payment for duties on goods to be
imported in tho future.

SENATOR FERRY, Of Connecticut, has
introduced bill in Congress to repeal the
iron-clad oath, but it does not remove that
oatk from the Public Land laws. 1t is
now required in presumption and homestead
entries, and serves but poorly any just pur.
pose, and protects no interest of the gov
eminent. 1t is simply an indirect pun
ishment for persons who have been relieved
of every other disability. Mr.. Beck, Of
Kentucky, it is understood, is preparing q
bill which will strike this oath from the
Land laws.

THE Wing complains Of the unexpected
turn that affairs have taken in New Or
leans, in regard to the political muddle
which disgraces Louisiana, as similar ones
do Alabama and Arkansas. We presume
our neighbor has no sympathy with the
Warmoth faction in that State, nor with
the high-handed proceedings by which they
have sought to retain their power. AS we
look upon the controversy, Warmoth's
audacious usurpations are only paralleled
by the weakness of a people, once full Of
spirit and energy, who could tamely SUBJ
init to them as the Louisianians have. His
last despotic act seems TO have capped the
climax, and the best people of all parties
in the State seem to have united in the
summary steps that were taken for his ex-
pulsion from the position he had notorious
ly usurped.
AS the matter stands, Warmoth has
been defeated by the court in his effort to
control the Legislature, and tho decision OF
the court is sustained by General Emory
and the business interests Of the city, as
well as tho cool Judgment of the State.
The result is that the election will be prop
erly declared, and the rightful legislature
seated. If the people Of New Orleans
would manifest loyal and proper spirit,
and consult their own interests by main
tanning the laws rather than jeapordizing
them by Jumping at every chance to in
crease trouble, this Warmoth imbrcglo
would never have originated.

THE Tribune thinks it is unfortunate
that some of the sensitive and high.spirited
Boston newspapers protested against their
sufferers by the fire being the recipients Of
outside aid. The protest chilled somewhat
the generous impulses Of the whole coun.
try; none felt like offering relief which
might DO considered obtrusive. But nov
the Central Committee Of Relief are obliged
to gay that they need 100000 for immo.
date necessities. To be sure, no appeal
is made to other cities, but the committee
pointedly intimate that such course may
yet be necessary, unless the people of Bos.
ton respond literally. 1t would have
hurt the dignity of Boston somewhat to re.
ceive the protfered gifts; but it would have
done much good to those who wanted te
dispense their generosity.

The fact that the Electoral College Of
Louisiana failed to cast its vote for Presi-
dent and Vice-President on Wednesday
last, is urged as an additional reason for
the abolition of the Electoral College sys-
TEN. One State is thus left practically
without voice in the Presidential election,
as the vote of the Electoral College would
be nullity, if cast on any other day. The
consequences would have been of the most
serious character if the result Of the cleo
ton had depended upon the vote Of that
particular State. 1t seems that there is
no law providing for the removal of a
President in the event Of his becoming in
sane, and in case Of insanity in President
the country would be in the same condition
as England in the time of George iii. II
is suggested that some remedies should be
provided for these defects in our political
system, and that there should be some law
full means found for testing the validity of o
Presidential election. AT present the only
remedy against fraud is a recourse to arms.
