The presentation Of five different re-
ports on the Louisiana affairs shows that
the committee is about as much muddled
as the affairs themselves. And this is about
a fair specimen Of the hopelessly divided
opinion in Congress as in the country on
the subject. The Louisianians will have
to settle their own difficulties, as they
should Congress will not undertake to re-
construct the state government every time
the two parties undertake to cheat each
other and then get quarreling over the
question which has cheated most. The
Senators elect will probably both be reject
ed, and the Louisianians will have a chance
to choose another, when they have compos.
ed their other difficulties.

Tho new Spanish republic is cxperienc-
ing its first crisis, fact which in view Of
the score which France has survived, ought
to give the friends Of the republic little
anxiety The present crisis is ministerial,
aud therefore less alarming than if arising
out Of disagreement between the Executive
and Coytcs. The ministry is at present
composed in part Of republicans and in part
Of conservatives. They do not pull we'll
together, and the requisite harmony in the
cabinet cannot be obtained The conserva-
tive ministers will, therefore in all proba-
bility, give place to republicans. The gem
eral political situation in Spain is full Of
encouragement The provinces are quiet
and the only popular demonstrations re-
ported are in favor Of the republic. The
Carlists in the northeast maintain their
former positions. No engagements have
taken place between them aud the govern
meut troops for several days. The arrival
Of Don Carlos 10 the Carlist camp, If cor
rectly reported, will doubtless soon be
evidenced by more active measures The
growth Of public sentiment in favor Of
the federal form for the republic, with The
exercise Of local solcgoveramont by the
provinces, is very satisfactory sign, as 10
is also something entirely new in European
politics.

In the judgment Of the committee the
facts reported in regard to Amcs and
Brooks would have justified their con-
viction under the above recited statute,
and subject them to the penalties there
in provided. The committee need not en-.
large upon the dangerous character oil
these offences The sense Of Congress is
shown by the severe penalty denounced by
The statute. The offences are not viola
ton Of private right, but were against the
very life Of q constitutional government, by
poisoning the fountain Of legislation. The
duty that dovoved upon the committee
has been Of the most painful and delicate
character They have performed it to the
best Of their ability. They have proceeded
with the greatest care and deliberatiou, for
while they desire to do their full duty to
the House and country, they were most
anxious not to do injustice to any man. In
forming these conclusions, they have in.
tended to be entirely cool and dispassiou-
ate, not to allow themselves to be swerved
by any popular favor on one hand, or any
feeling Of personal favor and sympathy on
the other.

corning it are true, enjoyed q very large cir.
culation up to the very hour of its seizure, but
had larger advertising patronage than any
other paper in the city, and was, to all appear
ances, in the midst Of an era OF unsurpassed
prosperity, when the dogs of Durell's political
dirty-work court fell upon it to devour it. The
Times had not been notably enthusiastic in its
advocacy of tho aspirations of the Govern
ments brother-in.law to represent, or, rather
to misrepresent, the State of Louisiana in the
Senate at Washington, and this is generally be-
lieved to be the real reason Of the attempt to
suppress it. Judge Durell's well known unscru-
pulousness. together with the insigniicance of
the sum claimed-Sl5, ,000-are among the
reasons for thinking the seizure of the Times

this view Of the case is the correct one, we
hope to see j. established, the solycncy OF the
paper vindicated, aud its enemies routed. Not
