GRANr ANn rouIsrANA.

1t was by the advice of Attorney
General Williams that Grant sus-
tanned the illegal midnight order of the
drunken Durell, and recognized the
usurping government of Kellogg In
Louisiana. And Notwithstanding the
best lawyers in the Senate, and a ma
jority of the committee of that body,
instructed to investigate the Lou
isiana case, declared the pre-
tended election of Kellogg a
fraud and his government usurped and
illegal, Grant sustained him and kept
him in power with Federal bayOnets.
Still it was evident he felt he had made
very grave mistake, and when Davis,
of Texas, appealed to Grant for troops
to keep himself in the Office of Gov
ernor to which the people of that State
did not elecs him, he refused on the
ground that it was a State
matter which should be settled
by those interested. He refused troops
to Brooks to upset the result Of an
election by the people of Arkansas.
And when Ames appealed to him pite-
ously for troops to be used in Missis-
sipi, where there was about as much
use for them as there is for a third
wheel to a cart, he told Ames to attend
to his own business. 1t. was thought
the lesson he had learned would induce
him TO keep out of Louisiana affairs
at the present time, but he has rushed
headlong into this purely local State
matter to sustain the usurper Kellogg,
when every body in Louisiana appears
to have deserted him. Does Williams
bad influence still ways his Judgment,
or is it because the South shows but
little favor toward his third term aspi-
rations? He had better have followed
the course he adopted in the Texas i'm
broglio. sc

MOTION B. HOWELL FOR MAYOR.

AOsIOh Ii. HOWELL FOR MAYOR.
The nomination Of Morton B.
Howell as a candidate for the Office Of
Mayor cannot do otherwise than give
satisfaction to those of our citizens
who desire the material prosperity of
Nashville and the maintenance of her
financial standing.
As will be seen by our report of the
proceedings of yesterdays convention,
some of the best men of the city were
named as candidates for the position,
and to be the man chosen out of this
number, is an honor of which Mr..
Howell may well be proud, even if such
nomination were not followed by a tri-
umphant election, as in this case IL
most certainly will be.
Perhaps there never vas a more IA
Torable opportunity for the selection of
No. l city officials than is now pre-
sented' and the result of yesterdays
WORK demonstrates very plainly the
tact that our people are going to i'm
prove that opportunity. Possessing.
as she does, advantages second TO those
OF no other inland city on the
Continent, Nashville should be
a place of more than double her
present population, and would be if
her affairs were conducted by men Of
broad and liberal ideas, with the nee
essary vim and energy to carry those
ideas into effect.
Our people seem TO be waking up at
last to this fact, and are evi-
IDENTIFY determined to relieve
themselves of that class of Off
clals who are actuated only by selfish
motives, and who are incapable of pro-
perly appreciating the responsibility
and Importance of the duties they have
assumed. The events of the last few
days, have reused our citizens to an
appreciation of the situation, and have
shown, but too plainly, the criminal
folly of placing in the hands of in
competents the interests of city like
Nashville. The attachment by a
United States officer of city property
is an act which brings the blush Of
shame to the cheek of every right
minded citizen, and should result in a
determination on the part of all that
class to make a recurrence Of this
shame an utter impossibility.
But under the new regime, differ.
ent order of things may be confidently
relied upon. With such a Mayor rs
our present nominee, backed by such a
City Council as we trust will be sworn
in next month, order will be brought
ont of chaos, the financial standing of
the city restored, and a fresh impetus
given to al worthy public enterprises
IL augurated for the benefit of our
city.

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-To-day was
set down for the trial Of VIM. Benton, the
safe burglar. Benton was not present and
his counsel asked for a further postpone
ment, which the court refused, ordering
that his recognizanees, 5000 be forfeited.
The only course now open is to rearrest
Benton, provided he can be found. The
grand jury found true bill for conspiracy
against Richard Harrington and A. B. Will
son, also Col. Whitley, Nettleship and
Cunz, late of detective service, ZerGth,
German, of Newark, New Jersey, and
Michael Hays, who have been in jail for
sevaral months. Harrington and Williams
have each given bail in 5000. Hays was
engaged to-day in endeayoring to procure
bail. The others are absent from the city,
and process will be issued for their arrest.
Harrington addressed the court asking that
the earliest day possible for his trial.
