NOW AND THEN.

Last fall, when the New York bankers
and fnanciers found themselves in straits
for want Of ready currency they went down
on their knees to President Grant and Sec
rotary Richardson for relief There were
forty-four million dollars of legal tenders
locked up in the treasury, having been re-
tired under law which has since been
repealed. But the money was wanted:
The case was urgent, SO the President was
implored to authorize the issue, even
though there was some doubt of the legal
ity of such proceeding. The Secretary
OF the Treasury did, however, sparingly
extend some relief, and the pressure finally
passed away. Now Congress has passed
an act authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue the whole of the forty
four million dollars, and the same sup
plicants are in Washington with petition
to the President to veto the bill.
If it were right for the President to let
this money 60 into circulation at time
when it was SO urgently needed, though
without authority of law, we can not
think it would be wrong to clothe him
with the legal right to do it in case an
other emergency shall arise. Will these
bankers guarantee that there shall be no
more locking up Of greenbacks, no more
corners in cash at time when the West
and South need vast sums to pay off their
laborers and move their crops to market?
We hope the President will remember the
position assumed by the New York capt.
talists last fall, when nearly all their in
stitutions were flying signals of distress,
and provide, while he has chance,
against the recurrence of such panic as
we had last fall.

The bulls in the United States Senate
became terribly excited on Wednesday
over a red rag which was futtered before
their eyes in the shape Of dispatch pur-
porting to be from a gentleman of the
Fusion persuasion living in New Orleans.
Messrs Carpenter and Hamilton were
rather distinguished for their display of
the ragphobia, and it looked very dark
for poor Louisiana at one time. What
portion of this State that has been spared
from the overflow came very near being
snuffed out because the Legislature had
presumed to pass an election law-per-
haps two of them.
Senator West, who was not in position
to know exactly what laws were passed by
our General Assembly and now await the
action of the Governor, simply explained
that he had heard nothing of a second
election law; knew nothing of it. 1t was
a new question to him. But Messrs. Bay
ard, Hamilton, Stevenson, Carpenter and
others Of the highly excited, found it diff
cult to believe the statement Of the Senator
from Louisiana. They evidently pre-
ferfed to place him in the unparliamentary
position Of arraignment by means of
private telegram from an unofficial per-
sou, who did not have the authority to
speak for the Governor or the law making
power of this State.
We have nothing to say about the
alleged act, said to be in the hands Of
Governor Kellogg unsigned. If there be
such an act, it may be good, bad or indif-
ferent without affecting in the least the
duty of Senators in deciding the chronic
Louisiana case. We take it, the Legisla-
ture of this State is not on trial before
Congress for laws which it may have passed
or omitted to pass last winter. The Sen
ate is charged with settling a disputed
election case, which can not be affected
by any acts that have occurred since the
returns were counted. 1t has not been
given out that the success of the Repub-
licar officials before the Senate will be
dependent upon the passage Of laws by
our Legislature which will be pleasing to
Democratic Senators. We can not see
what business it is of Mr.. Carpenter, Mr..
Hamilton or Mr.. Stevenson, as United
States Senators, what laws may be passed
by State Legislature. Congress exer-
cises the right to review territorial laws,
but has never extended it to States. i
The Governor has declared it to be his
settled purpose to veto the bill about
which all the fuss has been raised, but
we do not think any one had any right to
demand such pledge from him. Of
course, there is no mIropriety in his pro-
claiming his intention in the matter, but
we should very much like to have Messrs.
Bayard, Hamilton, Carpenter, Stevenson
and others understand that we not expect
to submit our State laws for their ap-
prevail before they are promulgated. New
York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Illinois and all
the other States are exempt from such

Nebraska is safe, no matter what may
be the fate Of Louisiana. Upton is ''eon-
cerned about the people of Nebraska. y
Therefore, the squatters may Danish all
their fears. Upton, however, is ignorant,
and not ashamed TO own it. 1t is general
ly considered evidence Of real greatness
in man to acknowledge there is some
thing he does not know. Here is Tip
tons point, and we think it very good
one for raw countryman to make:
He wanted to know if hereafter faction
in Nebraska could appeal away from the
constitution, laws and ballot box of the
State, whether handful of men running
the customhouse, United States marshal's
and United States attorneys offices, could
set up government of their own, and, with
promise of support to some future presi-
dent, could procure the support Of the fed
eral power to maintain them in their posi-
tons!
Now, this is very complicated ques-
ton, indeed, but may be answered, never
theless. If, for instance, the "handful
of men running the customhouse," etc.
1--WE were not aware they had custom
house in Nebraska), should happen to be
backed up by seven-twelfths Of the voters
of the State. as was the case here on a
late occasion, then Tiptons gloomy pic
ture will be realized and he sent after
Carpenter into political exile. If the Sen
ator from the far West will point out any
rule or law or anything else which re-
quires customhouse officers, United States
marshals, United States district attorneys
or anybody else to be careful and always
vote with the minority, we will concede
he is great man, which would be big
rise, for he now appears to be wonder
fully small potato.

TEE FLOODS AND THE REMEDY.

If no other advantage can be derived
[ from the present disasters we may at
least profit by the experimental observa-
tons which they afford, and some system
! may be devised that will tend to future re-
LET 1t is, we suppose, demonstrated that
| 10 central administration working from
New Orleans can watch and repair the
simultaneous eruption Of waters along five
hundred miles of levee. The Mississippi
river has, upon high engineering author
ity, been pronounced ''river sui 9ener's,
hardly to be subjected to the same formula
which apply to those OF moderate SIZE
such as the Seine, Rhine or the Danube. "
The country should therefore be pro-
tected from overflow by system adapted
to its exigencies. The most simple and
efficient form of protection will be to llken
the river in times of food to an invader,
and the levees to line of intrenchments
subject to be carried at any point, at any
moment. This involves the propriety of
having always present along the whole
line an army sleeping on its arms, ready
to repel an attack or reinforce breach at
the tap of drum or the touch Of wire.
When the labor was commanded along
this line, this watch and concentration
was practicable, but it will become nee
essary now to organize the same home
guard on.a different principle. For it
can not be expected that day laborers
would consent, except on additional con-
tract and compensation, to toll on a
neighboring embankment from considera-
tons of public duty, or even on their
own after the crop is lost.
The State then should assume control
of the levees, with due regard to any in
terest vested under present laws, and lay
off these lines Of levees on both sides Of
the river IS if they were common high
ways A board of commissioners or a
State engineer might subdivide this line
into sections, with estimate of the cubic |
capacity of the embellishments and an APP
proximate opinion of the regular force |
necessary to maintain each section. The
parish courts could appoint superin-
,endent to each of these sections and as
,ign to each a roster Of able-bodied resi- |
tents. Whatsoever work should be done |
~ these superintendent and laborers, and
whatsoever materials of defense might be |
needed, would constitute demand against |
he State, to be audited and certified for
by the State. A levy upon the
yhole property of the State for as many
Mills ad valorem as might be necessary
hould be made, and the federal govern
nent should be asked for an annual appro-
,riation to aid in the protection of the
lational sugar and cotton fields. Such
to be expended under au-
hority of the State.
Of course, objections may be made to
his as to any other suggestion. There
nay be frauds and favoritism under it.
Undoubtedly, and We would Ike to know
f these are impossible under other plans
The advantages of this system are two
old: 1. 1t secures a home guard night
nd day along the whole line of appre-
lended invasion. 2. 1t expends the pub
ic money among the merchants, planters
nd laborers of our own State, and can
ot send this tax abroad in the shape of
tate bonds or dividends.
