The main features of the law are
that the vote is to be cast by ballot,

The ballots are all to he OF white pa-

ment is a duty devolving upon the vo-
ter, and no one has right to examine

to provide the ballot boxes and deliver

GRANT AND LOUISIANA.

President GRANTS interference in
Louisiana affairs is very generally at
tributed to two causes, to wit: his
wish to make his brother in law CASEY
Uuited States Senator and his bitter,
| intense, personal hatred of Governo,
| WARMoTH.
OF course every body knows why
GRANT wished to make CASEY United
States Senator, for is he not GRANTS
brother-in-law? But why does GRANT
hate WARMoTH with such bitter, ven
full, hatred? Our esteemed cotempo-
rary, the Augusta Chronicle and .Senti.
net, answers this question as follows.
Tt says:
Why did President Graut hate FL.
G. Warmoth The story is soon told.
On 22d May, 1868, the siege of Vicks-
burg being just formed, General
Grant ordered an assault upon the
enemy's line. The assault was repulsed
with considerable slaughter. Upon
the left, however, General McCIer-
nand, in command of the Thirteenth
Corps. was able to penetrate the
enemy's lines, and took possession of
bastlon In one of his forts and
of a redoubt in another part of
the line. Here McClernand main
tanned himself for eight hours,
and after the assaulting columns had
retired from other points, begged
earnestly and repeatedly for rein
forcements. These were not seut, the
Confederatcs concentrated against
him, and McClernand was forced to
withdraw. The commander of the
Thirteenth Corps issued an order to
his men rejecting somewhat upon the
conduct Of the battle. Acrimonious
controversy ensued, and the upshot of
1t was that Grant removed McCier
naDd from his command, but did not
prefer charges.
Governor Warn1oth, it SO happened,
was Lieutenant Colonel On McCler-
aand's staff. He was wounded in the
shoulder in the battle of May 22d, went
home on leave and on surgeons certifi-
cate of disability, and was dismissed
from the army by order of General
Grant, on the charge of being absent
without leave and circulating false re-
ports in reference to the army. The
fact is, Warmoth, friend of McCler-
nand, Lad criticised Grant pretty Sc
verely, ard some good natured friend
had told Giant what he said. Warmotb,
however, was not all easy Officer to
cashier. He declined to surrender IN
conditionally, even to Grant. He went
to work, got his case before Judge
Advocate Holt, procured a favorable
decision, and was finally restored, by
order of Lincoln, to his rank, pay, and
command, thus revenging McClern-
and's wrongs, and triumphipg over
the conqueror -of Vicksburg. Presi
dent Grant never forgave Warmoth's
presumption in this matter, nor his
adverse criticisms upon the Generals
military conduct, and, just as if the
Presidency were a private perquisite
and not public trust, out of this per-
sonal resentment proceeded the woes
of Louisiana.

MR. BECK, of Kentucky, has intro
duced bill into Congress providing
very severe punishment for Members
of Congress who prosecute claims
against tho Federal Government. The
New York Herald, while characteriz-
ing it as "ben-punch" arrangement,
declares it to be Unnecessary but hu-
initiating measure"
The Washington City Re3ondticaa
says: "There can be no doubt that We
have had too much Of this kind of Pc
caliar legal practice lately, and the best
thing that can be done is to take away
the temptation. 1t is argued that the
fact that man is member of Con-
gress should not operate against him
in the pursuit of Lis profession, but
there can be no doubt that large
amount Of practice comes to certain
gentlemen merely because they are
members"
This kind of practice is said to be
much esteemed by General Butler.

THE COTTON TAX.

Colonel LAMAR, of Mississippi, has
introduced another bill in Congress pro-
viding for the return, by the Federal
Governn ent, of the tax On Gotten iile-
gally collected for several years after
the war, and we sincerely trust that he
may be able to secure some repara-
ton for this long standing outrage
upon the cotton planters..of the South.
It seems, howver, from the various
accounts we have seen, coming from
Washington City as to the causes of the
failure of other bills, that the difficult
ty, in the way of the passage of a
proper bill by Congress, has been not
alone with the representatives of
Northern constituencies in that body.
Southern members Who favor the re-
funding OF the tax have been widely at
variance upon every bill that has been
presented, fer the reason that they
could not agree who were the proper
parties to whom the refunded tax
money should be paid. In other words,
the contest between the commission
merchants and the producers prevents
t1at concert of action SO necessary to
SUCCESS.
Whether Colonel LAMAR Will be
able to reconcile those long stand
ing difficulties, we are unable TO
say, but any proposition coming
from him Will doubtless COM
mand the most respectful consideIa
tion from both merchant and producer
for the reason that it comes from a
gentleman whose sense of justice, it is
we'll known, is too strong 10 permit
him to propose any other than Il fair
and equitable compromise.
Precisely the difference between the
farmer who produced the cotton and
the merchant who sold it, We have
never been able to understand or to
appreciate. It has always seemed to
us that the matter resolved itself into
the question who was out of pocket
for the tax? If the merchant paid the
tax merely as the agent of the pro-
ducer, we cannot see how such pay
ment would give him any beneficial
interest in the refunded tax money.
Tne merchant may indeed hold the
receipts from the Government Officials
but if he paid the money only as the
agent Of the producer, it is difficult to
see what real beneficial interest he has
in the matter. We sincerely trust the
whole matter may be speedily ad-
justed.
If we mistake not, North Carolina is
interested in the rtfundirg of this
illegally collected cotton tax. to III"
extent of six or more millions OF dol
lars.

1hC state Debt.

There is no matter of more general
Importance to the people than the
question Of the State debt, and they
are watching with intense interest
every action in regard thereto taken
by the Legislature. We propose,
therefore, to report in full every meas
ure proposed or adopted concerning
this important subject. The following
resolution was offered by MIR. Reid, OF
Mecklenburg, in the House on Mon
day, and was referred TO the Finance
Committee.
WHEREAS, The public debt Of North
Carolina, consisting Of various classes
of bonds Of different merits and values,
and increasing at the rate of two mill
lions annually. row weighs heavily
upon the energies of the people and
the development of the resources Of
the State, repelling the influx Of i'm
migration and capital,
and Whereas, The limited resour-
ces of the people by reason of the dis
astrous results OF the late war have
rendered it impossible for the State
to pay even interest of said debt,
A'ld Whereas, Many of the credi-
tors of the State have expressed q
willingness to compromise and adjust
their respective claims, and it is due
to the credit and honor of North Caro-
lima, that her creditors be met in a
spirit of equity and justice,
Therefore ,esolred, That the follow
ing named persons, to-wit: Hon. nj.
E. Manly, J. A. Engelhard, David S,
Reid, William Johnston and Il. S,
Gather, or a majority OF them. con
stitute G commission on behalf of the

and further empowered and instructe d
to confer with tho bondho,ders or any
other creditors of tho State and ascer-
tain upon what terms settlement can
be effected, and report the result of
such investigation and conference to

the Governor upon the request of said
