THE TROOPS IN LOUIsIANA.-The
Chicago Tribune of the eleventh in
stant says: There is all appeal, put
forth in the language and tone of a
demand by some self constituted
committee in New Orleans, that the
troops be removed from Louisiana.
For what purpose should they be re-
moved Six weeks ago there were no
troops in Louisiana, and the State
was as free from military interference
us is Illinois. An armed rebellion
suddenly seized the government of
that State, dcpcsed all the general
and local officers, and installed a new
force in all the departments. Troops
were sent to the State and the gov
ernment restored. Admitting that
Kellogg was never legally elected,
and that his Installation in January,
1873, was Il usurpation, it will not be
questioned 10y any person that the
President could do anything else than
to restore him and suppress the insur-
rection. Upon that point there is
now no difference of opinion. The
fact that there are troops in Louisi-
ana at all at this time is due to that
rebellion, to the overthrow of the
government by the armed and organ
lied mob of Louisiana. Now that the
troops are there, they had better stay
there until such time as the peace of
the State is established. According
to the reports, the Democrats have
elected a majority of the Legislature
and of the local officers, and are sub
stantially in control of the govern-
ment. The troops will not hurt them,
unless they undertake to take things
that does not belong to them.

An INEVITABLE REsULT.-We have
no quarrel with what is delusirely
styled independent journalism y
We repeat, however, what we said a
few days ago, that . The press, to be
useful, can not avoid being partisan
in greater or less degree. If an
editor undertake the role OF support
ing both sides, his position is equiv
alent to IL double affirmative, which
amounts to a negative. If lie habitu-
ally censures and condemns both, he
is soon regarded as Il common scold
aad nuisance. To be entirely un-
partisan leaves him in the condition
Of IL cipher; and when newspaper
undertakes to be wholly 'independ-
ent' Of its party. and yet discusses
politics, it is on the high road to the
camp Of its political opponents. =

His Royal Highness has been detected
in many an act which has startled the
Queen. The last of which is said to be
the ordering of $4,000 worth of tickets
for the Public Library of Kentucky.
Her Majesty, it is stated, did not object
to his buying literally, but in the pres
ent condition of the Princes finances,
she thought $4,000 worth was too much
for him to invest. 1t is asserted that he
insisted on sending his order to Govern
or Bramlette, assuring his royal mother
that he knew what he was about, for
that as S2,5O0,00 was to be distributed
to the ticket holders on November 3Oth,

A. j. Odell. Secretary Of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad, testified
before the Ways and Means Committee on
the l4th, that that company on the 9Th of JAN
uary last paid back taxes to the Government
amounting TO S99. 6S5, which sum was paid by
check sent directly To the Secretary Of the
Treasury. That Sanborn, 80 far as he knows,
had nothing whatever to do with the collec-
ton Of this tax. which only remained unpaid
on account Of conflict Of ruling
by the revenue officers as 10 the
amount due, and as soon a. the
proper amount was ascertained the tax was
promptly RENTED. That his attention was
subsequently called to the fact (by a member
of the committee) that one-half of this amount
(s49, s42) had been paid over TO Sanborn by
the Government, on the strength of letter
written by sanborn to the Secretary Of the
Treasury on January s-two days after the
check was remitted-in which he claimed that
the money was collected by him (sanborn),
and giving the amount, date. number Of the
check, etc.-which particulars witness testi-
fed in his opinion could only have been OBJ
tanned through the Treasury Department.
Lucien Hawley, Supervisor of Internal
Revenue of New York, testified that although
Sanborn's contract for railroad taxes was
dated on the eth Of July, 1873, he had obtain
ed the corporation of himself and assistants
at least two months earlier. Witness also
testified TO the existence Of similar contracts
made with one VIM. II. Wood prior to the
Sanborn contract. He named several Gov
eminent employees who had been turned over
to aid Sanborn; did not know that sanborn
had paid them anything, but knew that they
had received their pay regularly from the
