The New York Times referring to
the debate on the Louisiana bill in the
United States Senate says:
"The debate will, we believe, have
some good effects, Independent of Sen
ator Carpenters bill. It has called at
tentlon to the outrageous evils which
exist IL several of the Southern States;
it has broken substantially whatever
hold the Southern Governments may
have had on the Republican party,
and it has made it clear that the party
must either reform some of these Gov
ments by extreme measures, or with
draw from them all conntenance and
support, even though they should fall
into Democratic handsin consequence"
