THE LOUISIANA DIFFICULTY.

Dispatches from Louisiana last week
predicted serious difficulty to take place
yesterday upon the Inauguration Of two
sets of State officers. Our readers know
that kind of double headed organization
has been in operation there few weeks,
much to the disquiet of the people of the
State and greatly to the confusion of the
citizens of other States who read the re-
ports ofthe proceedings. 1t was supposed
that a climax would take place yesterday,
perhaps resulting in the use of powder
and bullets. Beside the two local factions
or parties actively interested in the matter,
the general government has a hand in it,
so that it has become of national import
ance and concern.
The facts in brief appear to be rs fol-
lows: After the November election,
which was for State officers and members
of the Legislature as well as Presidential
electors. Governor Warmoth, who was
one of the Board of Canvassers, which

Senator Harlan prints the following in de-
fence of General Howard:
1.-THE rumor of a forthcoming report from
the War department, prepared by General
Vincent, that is very damaging to General
Howard, is circulating all over the country
among special dispatches from this city. This
is not the first time that General Howard has
been assailed. His enemies have never sue
ceeded in attaching a stain to his character,
and we have no idea that the forthcoming re-
port will crafty the construction placed upon
it in advance Of its appearance. 1t may be
that in the midst of his varied labors General
Howard was unable to give that personal SUI
peryision to acts of his subordinates that was
necessary, and the affairs of the department
may thus have suffered, but no man who knows
him will impeach his integrity or question the
honesty of his personal dealings with the funds
belonging to the freedman's bureau"

Judging by the reports in some Of the
papers the annexation of the Sandwich
Islands to this government is pretty far adj
vanced. 1t is noticeable that many Of those
which were opposed to the annexation OF
st. Domingo advise the President to this
new scheme. OF the two we should think
San Domingo the most desirable.
They are struggling in New York and
Boston to find out what tire-proof build

a building IS not to be found within their

diligently searching for a model. 1t is
said Paris affords some specimens, but the
article is scarce even in the larger and
older cities of Europe.

was thrown off the track q short distance
west of Ogden, and brakeman named John
Lntley had his right leg broken and the left
one badly crushed from the ankle to the knee.

ceived from the railroad headquarters in Sac
ramento. directing that the wounded man be
sent to the Railroad Hospital in that city, a
distance Of 700 miles. The employees Of the
company were Of course compelled to comply
with the order, and the poor fellow was placed
on bed in sleeping car and started on his long
journey without his fearful injuries being at

making desperate fight for the Governorship
of Massachusetts,, but finds the political wa.
ters somewhat turbulent, and the route not
such smooth sailing as he had expected. The
elements opposed to him are being organized
by the decent Republicans in his State, and old
Ben has found it necessary to issue another
letter in defense of his back-pay bill. As But.
ler has the reputation of being one of the best
criminal lawyers in the country, he is now ex-
ercising his talent in that line defending his
own conduct and that of his fellow thieves in
making their raid on the public treasury. The
American people, as grand inquest and court
of last resort. have passed upon that question,
however. and found verdict of guilty OF
grand larceny against the Beast and his accom-.
plices. 1t only remains for the Radicals of
Massachusetts, to make him Governor of their
State to damn that once proud old Common
wealth in the eyes of all decent and honorable
men. Butler by his duplicity and political
strategy, has organized formidable host of
supporters. having even secured the indorse-
ment of the Labor Reformers; and it is exceed.
ingly doubtful, backed and supported as he is
by Grant and the power and patronage Of the
administration, whether there IS honest and
decent Republicans enough left in Massachu-
setts TO defeat his nomination by the Radical
Convention on September 10th.
