RE LOUISIANA TROUBLE.

Tho FIST lesson has doubtless
been read 10 Grant, illustrating the
effects OF his interference with the
expressed will Of the people in the
Louisiana election trouble. Tue
collision between the whites and
blacks in Grant Parish, and the
town Of Col1ax, an account OF which
we give in another column, is a ter
rible sequence to Executive inter
ference with what was known 10 bc
the true government If the State.
The very names Of the localities
are signiicant-Grant Parish and
HoliAx Court House. In the last
election there was, no doubt, frau
perpetrsted by both parties. but
Grant and his advisers assumed thai
the Heterogeneous mass en- iel Inc
Radical party, consisting Of thieves,
negroes, and aliens, were much more
honest than the old citizens. So the
sworn returns, showing a majority
Of about ,iX thousand for the NJ
Emery Government, were rude.N
thrusi aside as unworthy OF conf
dence, and the mongrei rue fasien-
sd on Hu unwilling people.
M wonder they chafc under the
infection. and the collision al Coz.
lax is almost a natural result Of &
Governments endorsing 4 fraud aid
compelling q majority 10 recognize
it.

The CONGRESS OF ls47-s.-An intelli-
gent correspondent of New York paper
records the following pleasing sketch:
1t was during this session that Colonel
benton made his wonderful speech of
twelve days in secret session against the
confirmation of Gen. Kearney as breyet
Major General of the Army. Kearney
had sent Col. Fremont home from Cali
fornia under arrest for some trivial DISC
oedience of orders, to be court-martialed
and condemned. Old Billions dander
was up. and if anybody wants to read
the most extraordinary speech on record,
let him read this speech of Col. Benton's.
1t is full of everything, and is undoubt-
eddy the most accurate and interesting
history of the conquest of California ever
written or printed. 1t breathes all over
with the bitterest invective against all
whom he chooses to regard as the con.
spirators against Fremont, and is full of
Benton, bnt is withal perhaps the ablest
and most interesting speech ever made
In the Senate. In this speech the deter
mined old Senator gave the history of
the difficulty between Col. Fremont, when
Lieutenant Colonel of volunteers in Cal
ifornia, and Col. r. B. Mason, the late
Mayor OF Chicago, then Colonel of the
First Kentucky regiment of the United
States dragons on duty in California.
Col. Benton in his speech charged that
Kearney and Mason were determined to
get Fremont out of the way, and for this
purpose the latter, who was dead shot,
was to insult him, and, if Fremont chal-
lensed him, was to shoot him. The cor
respondence was given in detail by Col.
Benton. Mason did Insult Fremont and
was promptly challenged, and as prompt
ly accepted, but the duel Ito be fought
with double-barreled shot-guns, loaded
with buck-shot) was postponed from time
to time, and never came off.
