WAR AHEAD.

The probabilities Of trouble with
Germany on the part of our govern
ment growing out Of the condition of
Spain and her relations with Germany,
are not far distant. Spain is bankrupt
She must borrow money. 1t is known
that she looks to Germany for aid,
and it is not improbable that this be
nevolence may be rewarded by Spain's
ceding the island of Porto Rico or Gu
ba or some other isle necessarily
claimed by America, if relinquished
by Spain. With this prospective trou-
BILE in view, the navy is being put into
excellent condition, and in a few
months it will be on a better footipg g
than it has been in many years past.
Our iron.clads will be nineteen in nun :
Der, and every naval ship will be in
fine condition. These ships are taken
in advance of the trouble foreseen by
the Navy Department, a trouble which
appears IN the eyes of our navy officials
to be inevitable. The Secretary of the
Navy, in his estimates to Congress of
appropriations required for the next
fiscal year, will ask for $40, 900, 900 and
more If emergencies arse.

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin, on
the 18th inst, granted the injunction
in the famous railroad war An in
junction was asked by the state author
tiles compelling the railroads to comply

The court grants the injunction. It
covers all the lines of the Chicago ana
Northwestern railroad, and Milwaukee
and ST. Paul, except that part of the
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad run
ming between Milwaukee and Prairie du
Chen, because the charter of that road
was granted by the territorial legisla-

CIVIL WAR.
Fighting Going on in New Or
leans, La.
The Citizens Demand the AbdicatiOn of
Kellogg.

New Orleans dispatches of the 14th
inst, give the following account of Of
fairs in that city and throughout the
state. A mass meeting of citizens,
held to protest against the seizures of
arms by the metropolitans, appointed
a committee to wait upon Gov. Kellogg
and in the name of the citizens request
him to abdicate. The Governor re-
fused to receive the committee. The
citizens meeting then dispersed, and a
bulletin was issued by Lieutenant Gov.
Penn (who, in the absence of McEnery,
Is the acting governor of that factiOn),s
calling the people to arms. The call
met with quick response, and in the
afternoon, armed men We're stationed at
the intersection of all the streets on
the south side of Canal street. from the
river to Claiborne street. About p.
III. body of Metropolitans, about 800,
with cavalry and artillery. appeared at
the head of Canal street, and took
position. Gen. Longstreet, command
ing, accompanied by an orderly, then
rode up, and down, Canal street, order
ing the armed citizens to dispense.
Some desultOry firing soon after oc-
CURED along Canal street. and some few
casualties are reported on both sides
There was also quite sharp fight at
the river end of Canal street, about
o'clock. The number of killed are esti-
mated by some as high as fifty and
many wounded. Capt J. M. West,
printer, and well known newspaper cor
respondent, and E. A. Talledano, were
killed on the citizens side, and num-
Der of Metropolitans are reported killed
and Gen. Badger severely wounded
The colored men, of which the Metro
pOlitan brigade was largely composed,
broke and ran upon the first fire, leav-
ing their white comrades, number of
whom were killed and wounded. Six or
eight citizens and twenty to thirty Me-
tropolitans are said to have been killed
in the fight on the 14th inst, and both
parties were resting Oh their arms.
Since writing the above, dispatches
of the 18th announce that the Kellogg
government has been overthrow and
the entire city is in the hands of his
opponents. Lieut.. Gov. Penn, who
was elected in 1872, has taken the reins
of government, and will at once
install in Office ali those elected
at the same time. The Courts will be
at once organized and the entire ma
chinery of the government set in
motion, not only in this city but
throughout the state. Great enthusi-
asm prevails. President Grant has
issued proclamation, calling upon all
turbulent and disorderly persons to
disperse to their homes within five
days, and hereafter submit to the laws
of the state.

TIE RIGHT TO An OFFICE,

It seems TO be the doctrine Of some
New Orleans politicians that an Office is
personal property and not public trust.
The proposition Of Mr.. McEnery that
an outside tribunal. not provided by law,
should determine the executive incumbent
OF Louisiana, is one which we suppose
could have originated nowhere except
here, or in Yucatan where the Governor
holds hiSpost by the tenure Of military
capacity to defend it. ...
The REPUBLICAN has explained that the
executive incumbent, and his competitor
at the election of 1872, have no right to
make personal arbitration Of the rights
of the people. If this precedent should
obtain, instead Of two honorable and pub
lie spirited men willing TO adjust public
difficulties by reference and resignation,
there might be two mescenary knaves
who would resort to the same. device
upon the same patriotic pretence. An
election by the people might be held
The defeated candidate might be willing
to give price for the government. The
incumbent might be willing to escape the
cares and dangers Of station, and retire to
competency IN SOME distspt Land, where
