DR.W.L. McMILLEs, the carpet bag Fusion
senator-elect from l. ,uisiana, has been spend,
Ing quiet summer at his home In Ohio, where
the contentious of his so-called constituents
have not disturbed him. Senator Morton,
however, ruthlcssly intruded upon bis peace
and quiet with speech which aroused the
Louisiana political doctor by It's illusions 10
the condition Of affairs In that State. The
Doctor forthwith replied, aud, in doing so,
made declaration that the Congress Of the
United States had full jurisdiction over all
questions connected with or growing out of
the conduct Of the State government. This
position was necessary from his stand-polpt
TO show that the Senate had the authority to
admit him to his seat iu that BODY. Now
comes forward the State-rights element of
his constituency with declarations disap-
proving his doctrines, and asserting that the
State Is power within Itself, over which the
General Government In any of Its branches
has no control. Here Is pretty mess, and the
Doctor regrets that he has had anything to dc
with IL lie complains that politics are toe
complicated for him, aud probably Is ready
to declare that he dOsnt know how to make
fish, flesh, and fowl out Of one and the same
thing.

THE New Orleans Picdyune argues to
prove that "the telegraph and railroads have
no tendency to Capitalization In Government. VI
1t Is strange that the followers Of the 'late
Confedcracy" should be troubled about cen
tralization when II Is well known that, not
withstanding their state-rights doctrines, the
Richmond usurpation was the greatest CEN
trallzation Of power that ever existed Gu this
continent. The trouble, after all, |, that
Capitalization to-day means the progress OF
Republican principles. II the Democracy had
control Of the Government, these indictments
would be satisfied to make 1t SO strong that a
temperance Of republicanism would be i'm
possible. We always find the 'outs" crying
that the 'ins" are ceutralizing.

The Chicago Tribune, In abiding cdito-
rally to the Equal Rights League Of this city,
falls into an error which we desire to correct.
1t says; "In other words, under the garb Of
secrecy, these colored gentry arc resolved to
work until they get into society on equal terms
with white men," and 'the most amusing
part Of the complication Is the fact that
these Know-Nothlngs are the wards Of the
Administration party" They are nothing Of
the kind. They arc the wards Of Mr.. Sum.
ncr, and q majority Of them last fall acted
with the Liberal Republicans. The Tribune
should not abandon Its friends In this way.

the existence Of the army Of officials that lie

THERE is A STRANGE CONDITION OF AZ.
FAIRS In Louisiana. McEnery, the Fusion
Governor, so-called, begs the people to sub
scribe money for the support Of his preten-
tions In one breath, and In the next declares
that they are bankrupt. Not long ago Nc
Emery charged that Warmoth, throu Oh his
administration, had reduced the State to alb
solute penury, and that he had plundered the
treasury for his personal benefit. Now,
Warmoth supports McEnery and McEnery
has nothing to say against Warmoth. II
all these charges be true, Warmoth is the
man to subscribe the money. But he Is living
In New York, where, according to corre-
spondent, he spends much of his time In the
fascinating company Of Mrs. Gen. Benton.
McEncry should employ Benton TO solicit
subscriptions for his cause.

DEFENSE OF TIE SOUTH.

We reproduce from the Tribune the able
I answer Of Mr.. Edwin De Leon to Edward
Kings sketch o: New Orleans, which ap-
peared in .scril.ne-'s Magazine for October.
Mr.. Kings publication is a very faithful
reflex of The sort of trash which has for
three OF four years found its way into the
conservative newspapers. It is che Ian
guage We hear IN coheehouses and other
places where seedy politicians most
do congrega:e. But Mr.. King be-
ing Northern Man, and sent here
as . stranger Oh special mission
naturally was ignorant Of the best sources
Of information. He used the Picaypme and
Bee as an index, anG the unemployed
population as confirmation OF the woful
condition Of affairs. Mr.. DeLeon. bow
ever, being q Southern man, has better
means OF knowing the truth, and his state.
aaents will be recognized as correct by
every in:eiiigen. naa WHO lives here.
There is undoubtedly gsea, deal Of pow.
erty and suffering IL this city. Those
twin affections o: humanity axe common
to every large town. But here, as else
where. the sh:.tless alone are pooy-.he

which is raled and oppressed by q few

seyve to suffer. So long as the million

TIE OUTRAGE IN GRANT PARISH.

: The d.stardly outrage which took place
in Grant parish, few miles below Col.
fax. the other day. has been seized upon
| by the sensation nongers as an additional
reason for not enforcing the laws Of the
State. The iaefably weak and stupid
point has been made by the Picma1e, the
HersN and the Times that if the Metro
politans did not assault AID outrage the
young lady heretofore mentioned. their
presence at Colfax, some six miles awav,
emboldenei the Miscreant who did. If
this view were correct. it would be an ar
gUment in tavo: Of disbaDdiug the police
