LOUISIANA.-EIp sAu0"S NAS"' $3.50
the bogus Kellogg government. in LOUISIANA
after the revelations Of astounding frauds
brought 10 light before the Senate committee
In the discussion Of the Louisiana bill. in the
Senate, the action Of Judge Durell was de-
nounced by Senator Carpenter as the most
monstrous outrage ever perpetrated under the
cloak Of judicial authority; and yet after II
has been so plainly shown that this infamous
tool who disgraces the bench in that untorti'
nate State, usurped authority, in every way
nossible: and used his court as but on instru-
mentality to further the aims and objects OF a
gang of thieves and public plunderers; prosti-
tutiue this position, in the interests OF cor
rupt gang of perjurers and forgers, still Mr.
Grant keeps him in Office, and upholds' by
military force, the bastard government of KEEL
]orp, which was fQisted on the people OF that
State by this corrupt scopndrel Durell. Even
Senator Morton. with all the infamous acts he
has been guilty Of, was compelled to admit that
the government upheld by Grant was not elect
ed by the people; and in the face of all the
accumulated evidence of fraud and outrage,
perpetrated by Durell and the Custom House
clique, Grant goes even further yet, and reap
points his rascally brother-in law Casey as Col
lector of the port of New Orleans. knowing
that the dirty dog is at the bottom of all the
troubles that aflict the unfortunate people of
that section. It was admitted by all the lead
ing Radical Senators that Durell had no juris-
diction, whatever, over the questions brought
before him, aud that his injunctions, orders
and DEGREES were absolutely null and void; and
yet the Kellogg government, which is the fruit
of his illegal action, is supported and upheld by
Grant, against the protests and remonstrances
of the people of Louisiana. Upon the same
theory, if Durell should undertake to decide
that Governor McEnery and the Democratic
and Conservative members of the Louisiana
Legislature are in contempt of his court, and
should sentence them each to twelve months
Imprisonment, or even to be hanged, Grant
would, we presume, order the military forces
to carry his orders into effect. He would have
the same excuse to offer, that of carrying into
effect the orders and decisions Of one Of the
United States Courts. Mr.. Grant has peculiar
ideas in regard to his official duties. The Con.
stitution provides that the United States shall
guarantee Republican form of government
to every State in the Union and as the people
Of Louisiana saw fit to elect Democratic Off.
Gals, Mr.. Grants subordinates manufacture
and forge q few thousand affidavits. purport-
ing to be signed BY persons who did not vote.
and Grants creature Durell, backed by the
United States troops, kicks the Democrats out
of Office and instaIs lot OF thieving carpet
baggers aud lousy negroes in their stead; and
that is what Mr.. Grant calls guaranteeing a
Republican form of government to the State
OF Louisiana. 1t is to be hoped that the day
of retribution is not far distant, and when that
time comes, Durell and his clique of corrupt
scoundrels should be indicted for treason
against the State, and an example made of
them by hanging them as high as Hamau.
