The Washington Republican of
Friday last, in allusion to the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court OF this
State in the Morgan case, that
"Pinchback, under the law OF
Louisiana, was Acting Governor,
January 4, 1873, when he appointed
Morgan Associate Justices" main
tains that "this decision places MIR.
Pinchback upon anSassured basis as
the next Senator from Louisiana,
and Mr.. Ray as the Senator to fill
the unexpired term of Governor
Kellogg"

MIR. McEnery's Message.

We copy the following editorial
from the Washington Chronicle of
Sunday:
just as we expected, the opposi
ton in Louisiana are already making
"a change of base. They have all
along told us that all they wanted
was to be let alone. Hands off! was
their cry. Take away the federal
soldiery and permit our people TO
settle the matter in their own way
under the State laws. Now the tune
is changed. 1t is not the federal
power that they desire to have
removed. On the contrary, they re-
gard the case as having passed be-
yond the remedy of their own courts.
Only the congressional power eau
apply balm to the wound and restore
peace and republican form OF gov.
arument TO the State. This is going
back on their own record with a ven
geance, and spiking the whole bat
terry of their Northern sympathisers.
The bitter philippines about federal
usurpation must all pass for nought,
aud be laid aside as sheet iron thun-
der for the next stage performance
when storm is wanted. Mr..
1rumbull is to be congratulated up
on having escaped the delivery OF
| that speech which it is said he had
in pickle for federal usurpation in
Louisiana. 1t would be very untlme-
ly now that the complaint OF Judge
McEnery is that the State court can
not cure the trouble. 1t must be
adjusted by Congress.
Pray, Mr.. McEnery, if the State
court can not settle the trouble, aud
the federal court has 20 business to
interfere what are the courts for!
We had supposed that they were
established to settle just such con-
flicts of jurisdiction on the part OF
public officers.
Governor McEnery has discover
ed, too, that it no longer makes any
difference what the Wharf ton board
or the Lynch board has determined
Considering that such desperate
effort was made by WarTOth and
McEnery to control this board and
secure its verdict (going even TO the
verge of defying the State and fed
eral courts), it sounds strange now
to hear the latter belittling the func
tions and powers of the election
board. We must look to the vote
as it came fresh from the hands o.
the commissioners Of the several
precincts, says the Governor. II
has hitherto been supposed that the
State canvassers had some power
of passing upon the legality of thu
returns as made to them, aud throw
ing out those lacking the evidence
of genuineness as determined by law
Well, well, this is certainly thu
most elaborate and unfathomablt
middle we have ever heard OF. Mr.
McEnery is evidently disposed t.
swap positions with his Republican
competitors. He is not going to Civ
up a claim to power that has been 81
persistently maintained under var
wing circumstances.

.1ffsfude of England TOsCardS
America During Washing
toms First Presidency.

Mr.. Parton say, in his biography
of jefferson, in the Atlantic Month
ly for February:
President Washington,s chief diff
ficulties, after the public debt had
been provided for, arose from the re-
lations of the young republic with
foreign powers. To weakness every
think is difficult. The necessity of
keeping the peace was so manifest
and so urgent, that the government
could not meet the representatives
of an unfriendly power on equal
terms. The United States then sig
nifed merely thin line of settle
ments along the Atlantic coast ;
open on the side of the ocean to a
hostile fleet, and on the western
boundary to the Indian tribes !;
Spain holding New Orleans, and
Great Britain Canada. There was
no army, no navy, no surplus re-
venue; and the country was but
inst recovering from the exhaustion
and ravage OF an eight years war.
When General Washington came
to the Presidency in 1899, six years
had elapsed since the peace. In the
treaty of 1888, Great Britain had
agreed to evacuate, without need
less delay, every fortified place with
in the boundaries of the United
States and yet British garrisons
still held seven American posts of
little use to her, but of vital impOr-
lance both to the honor and the
safety of this country-posts the re-
tention of which was a menace as
well as an injury, for they kept open
the great natural highways from
Canada into the United States.
TO these substantial wrongs was
added neglect, an indifference, a
silence, that looked like systematic
discourtesy. Congress sent Mr..
Adams to Loudon, in 1885, to re-
present the new member in the fami-
" of nations near the court of one
of the oldest. No English Minister
was sent to America till six years
after. Mr.. Adams, though he was
received civilly enough was kept
haunting ante-chambers for three
months before he began to get any
certainty as to the reason why the
posts were retained.
Great Britain imposed such re-
strictions upon American commerce
as seem, at present, too preposter.
Gus for belief. From her West India
Islands American vessels were ut
terly excluded; and only such Amer
lean products were admitted as
could not be dispensed with-grain,
horses, live animals used for food
timber, tar and turpentine. But
neither an American vessel MOI
American products of any kind
whatever were admitted into one
British possession which could dc
without them, not into Newfound
land, Canada or India. From Great
Britain itself whale oil, salt fish, sail
provisions were excluded, and graiI
only admitted when the people mus
have it or go hungry.
The American people might moi
be up in their Puffendolf, nor wa
Vattel often seeu on the family ia
BILE, but the st. Clair massacre
4 struck horror to the coolest heart
and excited reflections in the dull
est head. Every one could enter in
to such cases as that of Hugh Pur
die, a native of Virginia, impressed
in London street, carried to sea in
man -ofwar, ordered TO be released
by the admiralty, put in irons ant
logged after these orders had beer
received, and set on shore in ;

strange land without the means OF
subsisting for a day. 1t took fifty
years to get the hatred out of the
hearts of the American people
which was engendered, not so much
by the war, as by this insolent per-.
sistence i'm outrage after the war.

What is Thought of 1t ila
Washington.

A well known citizen of New Or
leans has handed us the following,
which he calls "a synopsis of the
legal view entertained at Washing
ton of the Louisiana case.D
L. The Longstreet returning board
having been declared the legal
board by the Supreme Court of
Louisiana, Congress can not go be-
hind that judgment, even if it had
the disposition to do SO.
2. Warmoth and his associates, by
taking and keeping illegal posses
sion of the returns of the election,
and refusing to deliver them to the
legal returning board when demand
ed authorized that board to act upon
secondary evidence. Their subse-
quent production in Washington in
possession of unofficial parties has
destroyed all the validity they ever
had, as it is difficult, if not impossi.
bic, TO identify them as the papers
which should be filed with the see.
rotary of State As q matter OF
fact, the Secretary of State never
saw them.
3. The legality of Pinchbask's acts
while Governor of Louisiana, as
well as the legality, of the Dryades
street Legislature, having been full
ly recognized and established by
the decision of the Supreme Court
of the State in the case of Morgan
VS.. Kennard, put an end to these
questions, and Congress will not GO
behind that decision.
4. The Dryades street Legislature
having declared Kellogg elected
Governor, as provided by the con
stitution and laws of Louisiana
Congress must recognize him as
such and uphold his authority

Round About Town.
VERY PARTICULAR.


: A gentleman told Roundabout
yesterday that a great many people
are beginning to charge him Round
about) with being "a rabid kellogg
man."
Now, all Roundabout has to say
to this class of animals is, that if
they want to hear only one side of
the question; if they choose to form
their view of the situation at tie
dictation Of one or two people, and
resolutely shut their eyes to every
other possible phase Of it, why
Roundabout don'tcare any more for
what they think than he does for
the domestic troubles of Brigham
Young.
lie believes, however, that the
class in question is not numerous.
People are getting pretty well tired
of giving up the whole formation of
public opinion to some small clique,
and they begin to indulge a moder-
ate desire to know all the facts and
probabilities, and exercise their own
mental faculties little. 1t is to
this ever growing element that
Roundabout addresses himself, and
he will here say that he has never
yet offered them single imaginary
statement. The views here recorded,
and ascribed to lawyers, legislators,
merchants, etc, were expressed; and.
if Roundabout has doctored them at
all, it has been in the way Of moditi-
cation, and out of consideration for
these same tender footed gentlemen
who snort and chate at any'little
view which differs from theirs.
Matters have come to crisis
when most well-disposed people
wan, to see the prospect from every
point of view. The people are tired
of being lulled with siren songs, and
they decline to go into raptures be,
cause Senator Morton, or some 9th
er dignitary, wink at a committee
man.
The country parishes have some
little stake in this issue, and SC
Roundabout pays Difference to coun
try opinion. The city is also suffer
ing by the contest, (far more, in.
deed, than many imagine,) and
therefore Roundabout considers the
municipal interests in propoundine
the questions.
With this first and anal only ex
PLANTATION, we dismiss the considera
ton of our individual course in the
matter.
l We shall continue our endeaVors
to ascertain exactly how people al
large look upon the Issue, and, IL
presenting those views, shall moi
permit any personal prejudices tt
4 tinge them.
Indeed, we have studiously oh
served til S rule from the first, ant
this reminds MS that if Roundabou
has appeared to certain gentlemen
as s.Kellogg emissary," there is
fearful tendency shat way, both il
the community at large and th'
Peoples Legislature.
