EEEOADRNeIs
The Republican party must unload,
saws President Grant. Yet when he
oropoges to cast aside the Louisiana
sstrosity" his party leaders lie make
him halt. His message is stifaed, and
his faitlsnl heagemen in the Senate
come ta.lis RESCUE. Tor two days.
Senator Carpenter, in q speech re-
rnarkable for its ability and boldness,
attennpts to throw off the "dead
weight." with which the fraud and
corruption that have been praeticed
bv his own party in Louisiana mas
overloaded the administration. Ii
would seem that this attempt to set up
. Government in disregard Of the Will
Of the people, by political plunderers
AMI robbers, is about to bring sriei
upon its supporters. In The ho';ss q
.. friends It is now Denounced. The
President has now tie VII, bat not
tie courage. ID expose and denounce
T. His friends come to his relief, and
t,ef.orr and Drvcil aFd Pinchback are
held NJ as .aonstrosities, Of which the
party must clean their skirts.
Senator Carpenter, says the boston
su..t, brings accusations against his
party which IL can answer only win
confessions. lie tells it that il has as
s,1n1rd Il load which it never car
carry. Tie denounces the kellogg
Government. which vas SO promptly
recognized by the President, as too
tsgrart a graud 10 be tolerated III ANY

z,,.Isns and defiant Of the popular Will
,..au.aav. ut OF tis1rpation ever known
under cur Government, and without Il
s9s.ralIeI, according TO Mr. Carpenter
u Russia or Turkey, are lleldup 20 the
Es..,f,;,na versions Of IN outraged ana III
,ss,H ted public opinion, and the whole
h.Sd IS. then laid Oh the back Of the
I:~publican party. So severe all az
ra;gnncnt Of his Own party by one OF
Eavorite leaders coll.d have been ez-
torteG only by necessity which 1t was
i,aD0ss;,le longer TO Withstand. hci-
7.,o9 and Darrell, as the agents OF the
istration, aIa compelled to ap-
4.aar as witnesses to the fact that polit-
zeal iniquity is as dangerous and de-
fe ;talIc now Is It ever was. Even the
great raiI;tary reputation of the iresi-
dent cannot cover tho unprovoked ty-
Fanny towards 4 State which Il subser-
Went party spirit refused to rebuke.--
With such a vircrous review Of what
IN 1:nscrupuIous Administration his
done in louisiana, II is not possible TO
credit any promised cllaagcof policy TO
returning sense OF justice or re-
stored love Of republican freedom. II

The President al this late day, after
thc mischief has been fatally accom-
7,lislled, admits that Kellogg never

1Ee may INSIST also That MciInery was
lot elected either, lint that is only .
snakeweight in Il mind too glncandid to
make even II virtual confession. Still
he proposes 10 support Kellogg until
tHe PEOPLE can show another choice that
viii satisfy him. After eli, then, it is the
President and not the people OF lou
Llama WHO is to decide the result. II

Carpenter asserts that the entire Com

forward on his behalf. The Presi-
dcLt'a Difference to tile Federal Courts
