THE SITUATION.

McEnery and the new eiectionites are
reduced to sore straits. indeed. Not a
half dozen Republican Senator'S can be
induced to vote for Carpenters bill. it is
credibly affirmed. while the Democrats
have gone back on them 10 man. Their
sole active support seems reduced to the
New York Herald reporters and the Wash
ington Associated Press agent. whose
weapons of war. like Chinese stink-pots,
are more obnoxious to the finer sensibili-
ties Of decent people than materially dam
gerous or damaging.
In the meanwhile, we received yester.
day from perhaps the best posted resident
politician at the capital the positive as.
surance that ''eyerything is favorable as
can be desired" for the Kellogg govern
ment. and Senator Pinchback confirms
this with telegram that 1.-THE prospect is

AfR, WHiRTON'S BILL.

1t was very imprudent in the Picd,,,ae
TO have boosted that the Chattanooga
bonds. if protected by judgments. were
secure from scrutiny. This boast at.
tracted the attention of the REPUBLICAN,.
and the demonstration was conclusive
that all bonds presented TO: exchange
would be inquired into. The eavil Of the
Picayene exposed possible plea to the
jurisdiction Of the board which might
have been made by some Of those credit
ors whose protest appeared FIST in the
Picay'ule. and Senator Wharton has in.
troduced n bin to provide for testing III

validity o. any of the items of State in.
debtedness the legality and validity of
which may have been. or may hereafter be
questioned. It also prohibits the board
of liquidation. under said act No. 3 O.
1874. from funding the questionable OF
doubtful obligations Of the State named
in this act until the same shall have been
finally declared legal and valid by the S.-
preme Court of the State of Louisiana.
We say it was imprudent in the Picgyltns
to have cited such triumphant proof Of
the funding iniquity. which was said to
'.lie to and cheat our creditors, repudiate
our debts, pretend that We are going TO
pay them, when we have no such purpose.

are not informed what he intends 10 do
with such as he may find. OF course. if
he were Governor and at the head of the

to pass upon their legality. but as be is
no: there is no need for his wasting any

forward soon enough. unless the owners

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY TO- 1874

Booth will no doubt insist upon knowing
something about the consideration for
those Chattanooga bonds. The New Or
leans press will demand that Governor
Kellogg shall specify what persons, con-
nected with paper, have been paid to
advocate the passage of the act authorizing
those bonds. 1t has been suggested that
a very curious question will be opened as
to the validity of those bonds said to have
been signed Oh the railroad cars. It is
this: What amount, and which. of these
| bonds were signed this side Of the State
line:
1t is plain that the mantle drops rom
the executive shoulders, and the pen
from his ''nerveless grasp" so soon as the
Governor crosses the State line. This is
admitted from the break-neck speed at
which the executive of this State once
came home from New York to proven, his
lieutenant from signing an election. bill,
which was subsequently signed by the
Governor himself: 1t has been also al.
mitted III the exercise Of gubernatorial
power by the Lieutenant Governor when
the theh Governor was soiourning at the
Mississippi waterin: places. Rigid in
vestigation may then be had to ascertain
the amount of those bonds which, had
been signed when the cars passed the
State line. those signed beyond the
Jurisdiction being innocent forge,ies of
the seal and signature of the State.
The b!l! of Senator Wharton will reopen
these and other inquiries. and the public
will have an inside view of our debt manu-.
facture. We may predict that the people
OF the North, who have heard SO much of
the iniquities Of the Republican leaders,
will find that none of the Objectionable
measures, such as the slaughterhouse,
levee company, lottery law. and the enact
ment Of the fraudulent and tainted" |
bonds. could have been adopted e..
cept with the cooperation os the Demo-
cratic and Fusion men of Louisiana. It |
Will also appear as patent fact that every

ELECTED BIZ THE PEOPLE.

McEnery says:
think the issue has been raised. and
that Congress can not do otherwise than to
recognize the right of the government
elected by the people to be heard.
To which we say all right. Now fetch
on your government so elected. and it
will be heard. Bat it would be decidedly
begging the question to say that the
party who organized stupendous frauds to
overcome the majority had produced such
a government. The point raised states
platitude. but the inference sought to be
established, that the itinerant crowd now
around Washington have been elected by
any people. is tallacious. The govern.
ment elected by the people Of Louisiana
is installed. and discharging its legitimate
functions.

The Times enters gentle protest against
any imputation that it took part of the
fraudulent Chattanooga bonds as hush
money while the robbery was in course of
contamination, and We are inclined to
quit the present administration of that
paper from any completely in such dis
graceful affair. The Picayune is yet to be
heard from. The public ought to know
what paper and editors Governor Kellogg
makes so grave an accusation against, and
he having failed in explicitness on the
point, suspicion can only be averted by
direct denial.
And curious fact is pointed out to us.
The Governors accusation, as printed in
this paper. is made directly against ga
leading Conservative journal Of this city,"
while the version given in the Times and
Picayun. omits the adjectives entirely, so
that any journal might have been referred
to. is it possible that in this game
"honors are easy" between these two
rival Conservative organs?

The New York Herald gives McEnery,
Mari & Co. as authority for the allegation
that the interest on our State bonds has
not been paid for three years. This is
most unkind stab at their ally, War

shameful way, he must have got the
money. But how he managed to conceal
the fact SO long! We guess the New York

According to one of McEnery's declara-
tons, Carpenter knows more about Louis
lana than anybody else in the United
States. This reminds us of the chap in
North Carolina, who had been acquitted
after a tight squeeze of the charge of
stealing a horse. His counsel was a
celebrated and eloquent criminal lawyer,
who was formerly Governor of the State.
After the verdict of the jury had been re-
corded, his friends came forward to con-
graduate him. They all thought be ought
to be convicted. Said one: "Bill, now
you have got your verdict, you know they
can not hurt you, any how, SO tell us,
confidently, you know, did you really
steal that horse?" "Well, boys, to tell
you the truth, 1 always thought 1 did, till
l heard the Governors speech to the jury;
now l have my doubts about it. He
knows more about it than I do" The
Fusionists have always supposed there
was some cheating by them until they
heard Carpenter. Now they think they
nave been cheated, poor things!
