"Peace rel GINS in Warsaw" The revolu-
ton initiated in Louisiana under Lieut.
Gov Penn is over, and Kellogg, the i'm
poster and usurper, is again in the Guber-
Material chair, from which he SO ignomi-
niously fled at the first alarm of trouble
But he is not back there by his own efforts
any more than by the viii of the people
whom he thus audaciously and shameless
ly attempts to govern. He is not there by
the exertions of his own partisans, if he
has any outside of Washington city, for
they too at the first tocsin of war incon-
tinently vamosed. 1t is true there is some
excuse for them. inasmuch as they were
not summoned by their leader. "Where
then was Roderick Dhu2" No blast on
his bugle horn summoned his henchmen,
white and black, to his aid-but he in
gloriously fled to the company of his part
ners in guilt-Collector Casey and Marshal
Packard, within the Custom House, that
;ity Of Refuge, where, lurking and latibu-
hting in their shadows, he remained tremb
ingly until his friend Grant, backed by the
military and naval forces of the nation,
should come to his rescue. He did come;
and Penn and the citizens gracefully retir-
ed, and once more Kellogg is enthroned in
the State House. But this time he is not
willing to trust to his own militia, Of which
he is commander in chief, or to his large
body of 'Metropolitans," because, as he
naively says, the citizens ''would Kill them
without scruple." He is now surrounded
by Federal bayonets, with a Federal body
guard. Thus ''peace reigns in Warsaw
Peace will thus continue SO long as the
Federal troops remain.
This revolution, though short in dura-
ton, will be lasting in its effects. Already
it bearing fruit in the openly expressed
public sentiment of the North, which cen
sures the President and the Republican
party for having placed and sustained in
power such horde of thieves and plum
derers as to cause long suffering and
patient people to appeal to their last re-
sort-the right ofrevolution. The unerring
instinct of the second-sober thought of the
people sees now where the responsibility
for all the trouble in the South should be
placed, and it does not hesitate to place il
upon the miserable Reconstruction Acts
of the Republican party and see now, that
those measures instead of being passed in
the cause of peace, harmony and union
have only been passed for partisan purpo-
ses, and to secure to that party tire vote oil
the negroes of the Southern States. This
as might have been expected, has resulted
in continual discord and antagonism. But
we hope this is the beginning of the end
For if we are not mista ken, this Louisiana
affair, instead of redounding to the advan-
tage of the Radical party by exciting the
people of the North against secession in
the South, and giving Grant new lease
of power for the third term, for having
crushed this ''unholy rebellion" will show
up fully to all the world, and to the ever
lasting disgrace of the dominant party, how
shallow and ffimsy are all their pretexts
for claiming that the Republican party has
any strength i'll the South, or that there Is
any actual need for Federal bayonets to
