ity of our commerce would meet ready
approval from Congress. But the Difficult
ties Senator West has had to encounter in
obtaining the passage of a measure involv-
ing simple proposition ought to open
their eyes to fact they have heretofore
ignored The commercial interests of
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Mil
waueee, and, in fact, all the ports from
Green Bay to Savannah are hostile
to New Orleans. There is no fra
ternal political feeling existing be-
tween rival sections strong enough to
neutralize this hostility. The success
of this simple measure one, which merely
asked the protection of law for a necessary
public work, has been obtained only
through great personal exertion of our
Senator and his ability to effect certain
| combinations. He could not have counted
| upon dozen votes for it if he had relied
| upon its merits alone. And his labors
have been more than doubled because he
was without a colleague. Citizens who
| are loud in their lip service to Louisiana
| have SO far succeeded in keeping our
other Senator out OF his seat. and there is
no doubt they would be glad to exclude
General West. simply because he is Re.
publican, were it in their powder to do SO.
While the Committee of Two Hundred
and Seventy are feeling Carpenter and
other political free :ances to keep up the
opposition to Louisiana. General West is
fighting our battles for It's single handed.
We notice that soiae Of our local agents

city. we are compelled to leave 70 the en-
ployes of Northern houses the expression

fects the interest Of this Port. Our worthy
Senator has nobly performed his duty in
this matter, and we hope AID believe our
re representatives. in the lower house will be
equally successful. We say this too. with
the full knowledge that such blatant Rep
resentatives as Kelly and ONei(. Of Penn
syivania, have declared that they will not
only oppose it. but that they will also
oppose the Fort st. Philip canal bill if
General Vests bill which has just passed
the Senate becomes law. There is no
significance in thei. threats. for they are
sure to oppose that or any other meas
ure asked for by the Republicans OF the
South any how. unless it happens to be
some abstraction which is not likely to
displease Philadelphia. Since Kelly got
frightened at Mobile. he seems to have
lost his senses. Not long ago he was de-
Tending himself on accoun. Of being one

bilier. Now he is trying to make his

NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.

Exhibited States Senator John S.
Harris, than whom none of our citizens
possess more of the respect and conf
dence of the leading men of the nation,
has lately returned from Washington. He
considers the question of a new election
fully determined adversely to the enemies
of our State government, aud that the
Carpenter bill needs but the test of a vote
in order to quelch it forever.
Congressman Sheldon, whose position
on this question many Lave considered
doubtful, writes to Governor Kellogg that
it is now positive Congress will not order
an election, and the Generals habitual
caution in expressing political opinions
entities this to weight.
Senator West writes ana telegraphs
that the new electionists are youted,
'horse. foot and dragons" and Con-
gresham Sypher consratulates his friends
that the contest is virtually ended.

tinsuished personages, whose letters we

MILITARY OCCUPATION OF STATES

The term State rights is taken very
much in vain by those who are discon-
tented with any federal administration
that does not give them Office. The most
active advocates of new election in Lou
isiana profess the State right faith, and
even Senator Carpenter himself was once
a Democrat of that persuasion. But
what would any of those men who main
tanned the principle in good faith think of
the provisions OF State Right Carpenters
bill? He proposes to march into State
"a part of the army" Of the United States
and retain it there. This army is to be
headed by an officer not below the rank
of Major General Now, taking the pre-
amble, that the people of Louisiana are
in danger OF being oppressed and involved
in litigation by acts of the pretended Leg
islature." as an excuse for setting aside
the officers and representatives of State,

legislation? Obviously, that if at any
time political majority in Congress
should wish to set aside as obnoxious the
federal elections or government of any
State, it has only to. cite some such er
parte reason, and forthwith the President
may order as many Major Generals as
may be necessary, with as large "a part of
the army" of the United States as he may
deem sufficient, into any politically con-
tumacious State. The Major General COM
handing federal troops within the State
may make satrapy of the State, and the
theory of the government is overthrown.
These possibilities render it the more i'm
proper that the discretion of the federal
government to interpose in the affairs of a
State should be enlarged. The constitu.
ton guarantees a government to every
State republican in FORM To exceed
this right of inspection; to give the ted.
eral government power to intrude upon
the government Of State without eppii.
cation from its Governor or Legislature,
or except to enforce the laws Of the United
States within each State. is dangerous
precedent and should be rebukei.
The provisions Of Senator Carpenters
bill bring the States under even the espion-
age of the government. 1t prepares the
way for military administration in time of
peace. and to that extern. sows the seeds
of Cesarism. There is no immediate
danger that this ancient and exotic abuse
will take root and bear fruit in our sepub.
lie: but military occupations of u State
by Major General. and the encampment
of government troops around the State
Capitol, and at the election precincts, as
it is unnecessary. SO it may prove IN the
future perilous practice and should not
be sanctioned now.
We have long since ceased to believe i'll
the professions Of an average Democrat.
Until their selfishpess was aroused 70 IA
vor any measure OF follow any path that
led TO public Office. our Fusion friends
would have been Mortified a: the bare
though. Of this military bill OF Carpen-
ter's. Yet. within the past year nearly
every opponent Of Republicanism In this
State has either openly demanded new
election or remained passive while he
heard such requests il the name OF ;lis
party Even John McEnery. who is the
highest authority on the subject. declared
it was his second choice in default Of not
being made Governor outright. Blu. even
this apparent unanimity was deceptive.
When an old turncoat like Carpeate.
comes down from the chair Of the Senate,
where ne had been placed by the votes of
confding Republicans. and offers to be.
come their champion in the work of Civ
ing the finishing blow to their old and
nearly only dogma. State rights. they
turn their backs upon him in disgust.
Carpenter is how wedged in between both
parties. neither Of which trusts him. But
our Democratic friends nave brought
their troubles upon themselves. as usual.
and an old Democrat. lately turned Re.
publican but moro recently trying to get
back home, is the volunteer to lead them
into new disgrace.
