speech of Senator BAyard on the Louis
iAAa Question.

Much OF our limited space is occupied TO-DAY
BY the able and interesting speech made Senatol
Bayard on the Louisisns election case. Ihe ques
items growing out of the trouble in that State pro
sent new features in the political history Of the
country, and to those who desire to understand
the issues will find this speech deeply interesting
and instructive That it had great weight in de-
termining the question then before the Senate we
have no doubt. II an election can be set aside in
an independant State by the United States Senate
because OF q d'f r,nce as to the returns, and an
other ordered, what becomes of the sovereignty Of
the StatesS II this could be done in Louisiana it
could also be done in Indiana or Pennsylvania.
If the people of State do not g to the polls
and vote on the day of the election, they must
abide the result. This is so in all the States and
1t would have been the result in Louisiana had
not Judge DuTell undertaken to set the Judgment
OF the people aside and decide that body of
men were entitled to rule the State who were in
vested with no authority. That Durel was the
tool Of tie President and the Cabintt there is
scarcely doubt.
Now the President no doubt sees that he blum
dsred, and has been seeking to be sustained in
some shape by the Senate, which finds it i'm
possible ts aid tie blundering party Executive.
The consequence Of all these errors is that the
two would-be Senators elect General Mcmillan
and ex Governor PiDchback, (n) who have been
waiting in Washington to be sworn in and take
seats as Senators from Louisiana, have within |
few days started for their homes, and the State |
Is shorn of her weight in the most important |
branch III the law-making body of the country. |
The loss, to be sure, in this case may not be great

TIE assertion made by the Bourbon
journals that the Hon. j. ii. Platt, jr.,
called on Secretary Creswell to demand
the removal of the appointees made
through the influence of Colonel Mosby, is
fatty contradicted by that gentleman, as
we knew it would be should the inquiry be
made of him. To contradict all the Con-
servative lies put in circulation just now,
would give almost any one his hands full.
That party " lies" rampantly now it will
