time being breathing spell from
tho Brooklyn ec.ndaf, directs its at"
tention, this week in part to the trou.
bIes in Eonisiana. The Observer
THINKS tho recent outbreak in New
orleans is important in many of its
characteristics anu bearings. 1t
SLOWS deploruble state of hostility
existing bctween those living in the
same communities and Under the
same State government. Aud this
hostility, tho Observer says, has its
origin to a great extout in diversities
of rnca. 1t commends a spirit Of
forbearAhto and t6nciliation toward
the South, and ptoteotion from rob.
bers who kave come in upon it from
the outside. Tho graud blunder of
craftsmanship, the editor thinks, was
in giving suffrage to the colored
masses Irrespective Of Intelligence.
henre the power Of the South is III
the Hands of ignorAnoo and is led by
crafty and selfish men to the great
injury dnd suffering of the heople.
:, The Methodist, while ocnsurihg
tie people of New Orleans for resort:
ing to force ,apd endangeriug the
peace of the Union; declares, never.
tholsss, that Congress is more gailtS
than they; for it lacked the courago
to do jps,iao wien it had The power
dhd the case wis before it, because
the party would be Injured. But, as
the Methodist oJsettes, "Whatever
stands in the way o, Justice and right
must yield, whoever - hurt, else We
shall not have peace" !; -.
The Christian Age declared that
when McBncty aud Penn marched
out Of the State House of Louisiana
la0t weak they were grandor than
when they marched in. In tn . latter
case they had couduered their foes,
in the former, they had subdueq
the mselves. Tie great demand, of
the times, the editor thi iuks, is a clear
headed politician to dexterously pick
out from the political suarl the
threads Of interests.
The Ficcman's journal is found in
company with its Protestant eonte,n.
poraries o,t~tftis question. Instead
Of the peace that was needed in the
South destruction has followed in
the wake Of the war. In .'lace Of
confidence it Is the present evidence
md the future prospect that no
bounds to coming troubles are in
sight. There is logic in political
acts, says the journal, that caases
What is wrongly begun ID be worse
done.
The Boston Pilot, in brief re-
view Of the trouble in Louisiana for
the past two years, concludes tbat the
now before the adriihlstra-
ton is to find some way Of getting rid
of the insu faicient bnt aiIb,tious COW
ard, Kellogg. But there is little
hope Of success in this.
TIE Christian Union comes to the
inevitable conclusion that thsre Is no
Jpn mediate and radical ciire for
Southern troubles. The Supplement-
larry Civil Rights bill will do infinite.

ganization trained to oppose by force
the existing go4ernment Of Louisiana,
nnd that it is re'trained by the most
aespotic discipline. The. Union
would, however, have tho government
recognize the pressure of the motives
under which they scted, and, having
mainta,qel legal forms. it should now
ittaintain justice apd give. the peYblo
Of that State an opportunity to elect
