nation of the desperate effort being made in

Louisiana Liberals, denouncing the Louisiana
delegation to the convention, and declared his
opposition to the whole movement as one cal
culated to restore the rebel democracy in the
South to power again. Events during the past
year have gone to show the correctness OF his
view. The old rebels are as bitter as ever to-
wards every new principle resulting from the
war. They accept the results Of the war with
their lips, but they fight them with their &C.
tons. and were it not for United States troops
not republican officer would be allowed in
the State.
The republican majority in the State is over
10000, and, wherever fair vote was had, the
republicans were found as strong as in 1868.
A new election is, Mr.. Conway thinks, en-
tirely unnecessary, and will only insure new
and more extended riot, anarchy, and blood
shed, so that the only course for the General
Government to pursue is to maintain its pres
ent policy, sustain the present Administration,
and Mr.. Kellogg will be found not only
good Governor, but a popular one, in very
short time.

One of those calm and tranquil ladies, who
are so successful as travellers, lately rushed
up TO train on the point of leaving London
station, and with one foot on the STEP franti-
caily called for a porter to tell her whether
that was the train she wanted or not. A very
elderly bachelor, perceiying the lsdys diem
ma, obligingly took the sleeping infant she
carried, in order that she might the more
easily enter the carriage. At that moment
the train started, and a porter appeared just
in time to drag away the nervous lady from
her dangerous struggle to get into the NOV
ing car. Awful were her feelings, but worse
were those of the elderly bachelor, who was a
stout person in spectacles, and who in vain
attempted to stifle the wild howls of the fright
ened child by dandling it, amid the laughs of
ms companions in the carriage. The little
creature was deposited at the next station,
ana the Mortified old gentleman sank back
almost fainting in his seat, wiping beads Of
agony from his scarlet visage.

THE LOUISIANA REBELLION.

Mr.. Conway, who was Commissioner of
Freedmen's Affairs in Louisiana under Mr..
Lincoln, and for FIVE years past Superintend-
ent OF Public Education in that State, has lust
come from New Orleans for the purpose of
seeing Attorney General Williams, and giving
him, by request of Governor Kellogg, a plain
statement Of affairs in that distracted State
He gives the following views as to the cause
Of the trouble.
The mass Of the white population are now
As they were at the outset, bitterly opposed to
the Reconstruction acts OF Congress; they
are opposed to the newly-acquired rights of
the colored people; they are determined tina,
republicans shall not control their State; they
prefer poverty and anarchy to law, order, and
prosperity under republican auspices; they
dislike labor, and spend most of their time in
political, discussion and angry debates; they
swear death to the leading republicans of the
State, and SEINE of their leaders openly avow
their organized determination 10 murder the
republican State officers.
The Kellogg Government, Mr. Conway
thinks, 10 doing its best TO maintain public or
der and promote the public good. Mr.. kellogg
is no, popular with the mass of republicans
because he Is trying to promote the welfare OF
all, and in so doing has made some appoint
ments Of men who are denounced by his par
~ lea .ers as not reliable party men.
The present turbulence is similar in char
acter to all the outbreaks since the days when
Andrew Johnson was President. The men
who executed the massacre of the Union men
IN 1866, and the men who murdered Sheriff
Pope and Judge Chase in St. Mary Parish in
1858, and the men who attacked the republi.
can clubs IN their professions, and who broke
into the homes and places of bu siness of noted
repuoicans IN 1870, and the men who broke
up some OF the schools for colored children
and who would allow no free schools where
they lived, are the men who are now creating
disorder and riot In various places in the
State. e " '"S
Mr.. Conway hoped year ago that mild
policy be tried in Louisiana, and for that roo.

Forty thousand passports have been issued
by the State Department during the present
year. Applications are on the increase, and
it is thought the number will approximate
seventy thousand by the first Of October.
Notwithstanding the fact that the law was
passed four years ago abolishing all charges
for passports, a number of applications re-
ceived at the State Department contain the
former fee of five dollars. Amounts thus re-
ceived have been in every instance returned
to tie applicants.

The emperor of Brazil has just struck the
last blow against slavery in his dominons, by
afRxing his sign manual to decree which
makes all children born hereafter of slave
parents free. 1t has been a weary process,
this abolition Of human bondage among civil
lied nations. At what cost of blood and
treasure this country has got rid of the curse
history can attest on many a sad page. Now
Cuba alone remains, and even there the
adjustment of the system is only a question

The terrible mine explosion and disas-
ter in Nova Scotia is another sad catas-
trophe added ~ the number which have
recently occurred. Death by shipwreck, OF
railroads, or weak bridges, seems less
horrible than burning or suffocating in the
bowels of the earth. With all inventions
for safety the collieries, without great
care and thoughtfulness, are places full OF
danger, in which laborers engage with
reluctance who can obtain the means of
living by other employment.

An expedition to 90 in search of the
Polaris and the remaining members Of

considered by the Navy Department The
opinion seemed to prevail that such a pro-

the Polaris and crew are in good position
to effect their own deliverance during the
coming summer, or, il otherwise, that the
prospect of relief from searching party
would not be immediate or certain
