The Louisville Coxrier-.Joxrnal is
the first journal we have seen that has
attempted to combat in detail the po-
sitions Of the Attorney General in his
statement made public q few days since.
Before it gets through it is compelled
to admit away its whole case. +
bases the right Of Warmoth to count
the returns in his own way and by his
own creatures upon the decision of a
State court that the law under which
he was acting was constitutional and
applicable. 1t forgets to state that
the decision of State court had al
ready been against tile legality of his
action, and that he violently displaced
the Judge who thus ruled and put
another in his place, without q shadow
Of authority except his own will. It
forgets to state that the law then af-
tirmed to be operative in the case, by
this judge he had appointed, only be-
came . law by receiving the signature
Of the Governor after the election had
been held. Will any jurist claim that
an election held under one law can be
controlled by . statute legalized after
wardi 1t omits to state that the Sa-
breme Court Of the State had over
ruled and invalidated the action of the
inferior court, and that because its
rulings were treated with contempt,
as q less resort an appeal was made to
the federal judge to enjoin Warmoth
from proceeding further.
II was the action of the State court,
as we understand the case, that EN-
powered the proper election board to
go on with the count; and it was q
law of Congress that compelled this
board to count the votes that had been
arbitrarily denied the privilege Of
registry by the creatures Of Warmoth.
The federal court did not create the
election board or control its action.
That was the action of State law and
State courts. The federal court mere
IL restrained Warmoth; and as he
would not obey it's orders, but treated
them with contempt, it asked and
obtained authority to enforce its in
junction. Washington Chronicle.

fair New Hampshire wearer was seized
with an irresistible curiosity to know
if she had kindred among the nabobs
Of the South. Relating the circuin-
stance to familiar companies, who
bantered her to "write to the South !"
about it, she concluded to ascertain
indeed whether he was of her blood,
by the only means at her command.
Accordingly to mr. Butillon, of
Natchitoches, she addressed modest,
ingenious letter Of inquiry, giving her
own gcnealogy as far as she could
trace it, and suggesting that, inas-
much as the name was an unusual one
and never had come to her il print
before, her intuition therefroTn Of a
relationship might possibly prove ac-
curate. In a forthnight's time came
the answer, very cheerful and cordial
in its greeting; declaring that the.
writer and his correspondents father
must be not remote cousins. The
Southerner further wrote that he was
a man Of advanced years, without
family, and having few friends for
whom he cared, and that he earnestly
hoped and wished for continuation
of the correspondence thus pleasantly
begun. With the consent Of her par
ents, Sarah acceded to this request,
and Thereafter the letters of the
Louisianian and the former mill girl
were in the character of an ideal
friendship. For three years the in
terchanga continued with unbroken
punctuality and then for nearly three
months Miss Butillop's last epistle
remained unanswered. Her wonder
and sorrow at the protracted silence
grew more and more, until finally q
lawyers message explained all. Writ
ing to Sarah Butillon from Natchi-
toches, the attorney Of the late Philip
Butillon, Of that place, had the honor
to inform her that her distant relative
and namesake, dying without nearer
kindred had bequeathed. to her his
whole property amounting in the ag-
gregate to more than 500, 600"
"Shortly before receiving this intelli-
gence," proceeds the narrative, 1.-THE
recipient had given her hand in mar
riage to q young man Of her own rank,
with whom she presently went south
ward to claim and obtain her depart
ed friends munifcent benefaction."

The Political Revolution.

The Political Revolution.
We copy the following editorial from
the Attakapas Register, q journal that
supported Greeley and the fusion State
ticket: k '-'ss5
A political revolution without par
allel under the Republican form Of
government has just taken place in
Louisiana. A great number of good
men, ID a political sense, will suffer
for the high carnival they could not
control. The hopes and expectations
Of a party are crushed. Where does
the responsibility lie9 We answer to
our satisfaction-in the provisions OF
q defective election law; in the usur-
patton of power, the arbitrary, inde-
fensible aud shocking acts of our chief
executive; in the attempt to defraud
alarge number of voters of their proper
registration; in the corrupt political
sentiments and consciences of political
leaders. Louisiana is almost insane,
politically. But we do not propose to
be sentimental to the degree Of some
of our contemporaries. The last feather
has not been plucked from the Amer
ican eagle. We do not believe that
Pinchback ia a bad Governor, or that
his associates in the Legislature are
the worst specimens of humanity in
the world; on the contrary, we know
many of them to be true reforners and
excellent citizens. We propose to take
the situation cooAy, having 10 spilled
milk worth crying for. .... ..--..s.ss
The capitalist, planter, mechanic
and laborer want Il relief from certain
oppressive laws, and q ruinous condi-
ton Of affairs that rings Of irresponsi-
bic, corrupt agents, t. longing to no
single party, but champion reform
shouters in all, have brought upon
them. It is quite immaterial to them
whether Mr.. A. OF B. is chief executive
or legislator, provided the reforms are
accomplished. 5@@ 81 ''1@5
Without discussing the nsodas opey-
andi by which Republicans retain con-
troll ofthe State, but taking cognizance
Of the fact that every step has been
taken under the sanction of United
States and State law, the one para
mount where the other failed in Ger
tain requirements, we know that a
government has been instituted and
recognized by competent authority in
and out Of the State, and that it is ca,
pable to maintain itself in the face Of
all opposition. We propose, therefore,
to all citizens TO abstain from undue
partisan excitements, and leave to law
yers, courts and contestants the set
Element of claims to divers and sundry
Offices. In the mean time we give
allegiance to the powers that be.
The new Legislature and Governor
Pinchback have proud opportunity
to win the confidence and esteem of
all parties. Let them pursue digni-
fed, manly course, as they have be-
gun, and they will be sustained.

There is said to be an old sea cap
tain in Oregon, who carries small
silver watch that has been through the
rare experience Of jonah. 1t was
swallowed BY q fish, hsvingbeen found

manned in, good working order, and
announced the time with rather more
accuracy than did he of Nineveh.
