The Bloomington Pantugraph Is disposed to
hold the Supreme Court responsible for Raffer-
ty's two escapes from conviction. It says:
Our State Constitution has expressly made the su-
preme Judges themselves the guides to- point out to
the Legislature its duty in this respects:
"T1e Judges Of the Supreme Court shall, on or be-
foro the first day Of January OF each year, report In
writing to the Governor such defects and omissions in
tho Constitution and laws Is they may find to exist,
together with appropriate forms Of bills to such
defects and omiasionn in tho aws-"-Art. 6, sec 81
The Supreme Court has no knowledge Of the
facts OF any case, except as the Same appear on
the record presented to it. It TINT record shows
that man has been convicted and sentenced,
and that the caso WAS taken up to the Supreme
Court; and that (according to the record) while
that case Was pending he was again tried, con-
victed, and sentenced, the difficulty presented is
hardly defect or omission in the law, to be re-
ported to the Legislature, but o defect in the
intelligence or ability Of tho law officer which
cannot be cured by act Of legislation. Had the
record in tho Rafferty, case showed that the first
conviction had been set aside, and that the
Supreme Court had returned the case for
further proceedings by tho Court below,
all Of which was as essential as the Indictment
case.
II the Legislature should provide for the
summary removal Of prosecuting attorneys
guilty Of negligent or ignorant performance Of
their duties, something Of the evil of q failure
to execute the criminal law might be avoided.

THE CASE OF LOUISIANA,

The failure Of Congress to take any action
respecting affairs in Louisiana has naturally re-
suited in violence and bloodshed. There are
two State Governments in operation in Louisi-
ans. One owes its existence to Judge Durell's
degree, and the bayonets OF Federal troops; the
other, to al election By the people. A committee
OF seven Republican Senators, consisting Of
MeBsrs. Morton, Of Indiana; Carpenter, Of Wig
consln; Hill Of Georgia; Acorn, of Mississip-'
pi; Logan and, Irumbul], Of n1inoia and
Anthony, Of Rhode Island, have investigated
the whole matter. and have reported that: the
action Of Judge Dureu was. from beginning to
end, d gross aurpation, unprecedented in judi
cial history, and utterly void md fraudulent.
This was the unanimous report of the Senate
Committee. Yet the Kellogg Government was
called into existence by the decrees Of Durou,
and placed in possession Of the State Offices by
military force,--the using Of which force the
samo Committee dcclare as unanimously to have
boen unauthorized and ecandalous. - =:
The President having, in tho first instance,
ordered the troops to execute Dure11s decreos,
has refused to withdraw his military protection
to the Duren-Kellogg Government unless Con-:
gress should 50 direct: and Congress- wasted 30
much time over the Agricultural College and the
Increaso-of Salary bills that it had not time to
legislate for Louisiana. The two Governments
hare, therefore, come into collision. The Kol-
1ogg Government has arrested and imprisoned
the members Of the Legislature OF the other
Government, and where the contest will end no
one can tell. In the meantime, the President, in
further enforcement Of Durell's DEGREES, has
ordered Gen. Emory TO protect the Kellogg Gov
ornment, aud to maintain it as tho Government
OF tho State Of Louisiana.
e Congress has adjourned leaving this question
undetermined The President proposes to be
governed BY Durell's Judicial orders; Durell only
Issues temporary orders which cannot. be ap-
Vealed from Or reversed; General Emory oteyB
the President and the people Of Louisiana haye
10 alternative but to submit to what the Senate
Committee declare the most une1nmpled fraud
andontrage, or put themselves in hostility te
the military authority Of the United States.
There is, Of course. but one choice. submis-
aion, not to Kellogg, but to the Federal authori-
ty, 10 all that is left them. They must wait Tor
redress until Congress meets again, or such CIR
ounastances arise as will permit Judicial
interference. So notorious is Dure1l's
usurpa.ion that his impeachment and
conviction are mere questions Of
time. The good sense Of the people will, how
ever, work more efectual revolution against
the Kellogg dospotism than can eyer be acco1n-
plished By useless conflict Of arms. We have
had enough Of var, and, though tho Kellogg
Government is sustained by the arms Of Nation
al troope, it is none the less a frand, usurpa-
Eoo, and an outrage upon tres government. The
President ha7ing resolved to rnaintsin the Eel

There are likely to be some complications in
tue matter Of tie division Of the extra pay voted
BY Congress to the mombersof the Forty second
Congress-. There arc several cases Of unearned
dividends. For instance, GOV. John L.
Beveridge, Of Illinois, was not elected to Con-
gross until November, 1871, eight months after
the extra pay begins to run, and resigned Jan. !,
1873. two months before the expiration Of his
term. He will be entitled to four months extra
pay in one year, and ten months in the second
year. Mr. Perry, OF Cincinnati, resigned in
August, '72 ), h1r. Brooks, OF Massachusetts,
about the came time. Gov. Washburn, Of
Massachusetts, in December, 1871 Judge Mercur,
Of Pennsylvania, in December, 1874; and B. G.
Cook, of Illinois, in 1871 All of these we're sue
ceeded by other persons, and the extra pay will
have to be divided among them. For instance,
A1r. snapp, OF Joliet, can, only draw the extra
pay from his election in November, 1871, Three
me1nbers died during the term, and their heirs
will be entitled to the extra pay. In the case Of
Dela1go, OF South Carolina, who was unseated
about ton days before the close Of Congress, it
is question whether he will be entitled to
the extra or not. air. Walls, OF Florida, WAS
.unseated about two weeks ago, and A1r. Niblack
declared to have been duly elected. Walls drew
psy up to the time he was put out; Niblack will
draw pay for the whole two years, but whether
both will have the extra S5, 600 is question. It
is fact worthy OF note, that the majority Of
thoHe voting for this extra pay in the House
we're men who had not been reelected. In their
case it looked like an undoubted grab.

The River and Harbor bill passed. by tbs late
vions jobberies executed under that title. It, Of
course, provides for tho completion OF the Louis
vile & Portland Canal Tho Board Of Trade,
and other commercial bodies Of Cincinnati, sono
three years ago, represented to Congress- that
there were some forty or fifty millions of dollars
capital waiting to be invested in first-class
steamers, but this canal was unable to give them
passage to and from Cincinnati. Since then, Con.
gress has appropriated money enough to enlarge
the canal, hut, tho steam commerce has not
got under way yet. Congress has voted about q
million and q hnlf directly, and as much mora
indirectly, and has authorized the Secretary OF
tho Treasury to, take possession Of the canal and
run it.. Would it not have been better to have
placed it under the charge Of that bold navigator,
the Secretary Of the Navy7 Heretofore the
toll for passing through the canal was 80 cents
per ton On steamboats,. The cana1 is about two
miles long, and the toll on an ordinary river
steamboat OF 800 tons amounted to $400 each
way. The result was, that the few frst-class
boats now on the Ohio River do not ascend the
river above Portland, nor 60 below Louisville.
The Inst River and Harbor bill makes it the duty
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury, upon taking
possession Of this work, to reduce the tolls on
the fifty millions Of Cincinnati capital invested
in tho new arBt-class steamers to Is cents per
ton Of the vessel. This will reduce tho charge
for steamboat pasaing through the cana1 from
s40o to 82o0-a lax which seems enormous to the
people who enjoy the tree navigation OF the
lakes. Wearo afraid this tux is still too high to
encourage capital to build whole navies tor the
commerce Of the Ohio River It is questionable
even il this rate of toll will produce enough
revenue to-: keep the, canal = IN repair,
and it is just for this reason that the canal has
become an object Of national interest. II Con
gross were to offer to make free gift ot the
canal to Kentucky OF. Ohio, or to- both States,
or to Cincinnati and Louisville, or. to any
private corporation or individual, On condition
to keep it in repair and operate it, the offer
won1d be refused. The commerce, present and
prospective, is not so promising IS to warrant
that it will psy expenses, even at the high rate
Of $500 boat each way. Tbs canal, there
fore, is to become an annual charge
upon The county, just like the. agTiou1-
tural and educational establishments, the
bug museum, and the cabinet Of stuffed reptiles. !
There Is no way to get lid Of it. Nobody will
have it. It won't pay expenses, and will be for
ever out Of repair. The immense capital that has j
been waiting twonty: years to hare that canal
enlarged will not now accept the completed job
On condition Of keeping itin sufficient repair to
admit the employment Of the great commercial
navyit has been: waiting to put aaoat. It ,,may
be comforting to some people, however, to know
that the millions put into this canal might have
gone into something else no better:
