The one drop OF sweetness in the bitter
| cup Is the reflection that they are surrendering
70 the Federal general, and not 10 toe Illinois
carpetbagger who styles himself their gov
ernOr. They have done wisely and rightly IN
thus submitting. The master OF forty ieg1ons
Is not 70 be argued with; as a rule there is no
disgrace in yielding % b-ute fOt ce when re-
siStance is plainly hopeless. or course, there
are exceptions TO the RUE. When all means
fail and al hope has fed, when the choice is
between dying freemen and living slaves,
generous people will not hesitate. But 1t has
not come TO that yet In louisiana. Benind
presidents and congresses and tribunals which
go to the books and precedents for their law,
there Is a court OF last resort-the people OF
the United States. This court has yet 10 pass
upon the rape Of which Louisiana has been
the victim. Untii its judgment is entered the
case is open. This unexpected, almost un-
hOped-fOr turn OF affairs imposes plair, i'm
perative duty upon President Grsni. This Is
TO at once call congress together In special
session for the purpose Of taking the necs ssary
measures TO give LOui-tana an honestly con-
ducted State election at the earliest possible
NO SYMPATHY FOR KELLOGG.
Troy whig Republican,
The people at the north have no SYM
pathy for Kellogg, and do not care whether
be is IN or out OF Office. But while they con-
denim the manner in which he became gov
ernOr, they utterly Rbhor the mOda taken TO
put him out. q In Louisiana the time
for new election is near, and Kellogg had
been appointing registry Officers. He may
have intended 10 cheat, and We presume he
did. But he made fair promises. His fairness
should have been assumed. " We shall
uphold Grant in restoring even political
knaye 10 an office 10 which he has no legal
right,
Chicago Tribune Independently.
Had this Kellogg usurpstion been at
tempted in Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan, IL
would not have been tolerated one day by the
people OF either state; nor could all the army
and navy Of the United states have induced
or compelled them 10 submit 70 such an afro
cious despoTisln and fraud. What has taken
plscs in Louisiana twenty months after the
crime wss first committed would have taken
place here on the instant, and no Federal
trOOFs nor executive proclamation would
have been iuterpOsed or could have ava led
to restrain the outraged people nom hurting
the usurpers from their places

The attempt that has been made
