4 Judge Durel has slept ona bed of thorn'
SO penetrating that his harshest judges com
miSerate him.
5. Mr.. Norton has lost the Senate, and
probably $4,000.
6. Pinchback has been sent to the cypress
groves Of Louisiana that his Imagination
may find GOODNESS in the shade.
Z. Marshal Packard has been subjected tc
the scourge Of Senator Carl SchurZ.
The milk pals of all have fallen, and will
them their imaginary happiness.
One OF those sage interpreters OF human
motives and acts. and the ways OF God t.
mana poet-has said:
That Providence which makes the good take
heed
To safety and success, contrariwise
Makes villains mostly reckless. Look on life,
And you shall see the crimes of blacklist dye
So clumsily committed by such sots,
so lost to thought, SO scant of circumspection,
As shall constrain you to pronounce that guilt
Bedarkens and confounds the mind Of man.
We shall consider other parts Of the Lou
siana case
Fourth Article,
The condemnation by the people of the
United States, the Congress OF the United
States, and especially by the members of the
legal profession of the United States, affects
so sensibly the character and conduct of the
Department Of Justice in reference to Louisi-
ana that, to impair its force, convulsive efforts
have been made in Louisiana to obtain some
sanction to Kellogg and his usurpation. II
the elections could be.carried, it is supposed a
pardon will be granted for the manifold
'' blunders and frauds" which, to the humor-
some report of the Senate, made q comedy
worthy OF that name At any honest election
this is impossible. During the last session
Of Packard's "impanelment," bill was so
slyly, stealthily passed through. and it was so
carefully hidden from the public eye, til 1t
very few knew of it. This bill was for the
regulation Of elections, and approved after
Congress had adjourned. The bill, when re-
duced to its simple terms, may be translated
into these words: "Let it be understood"
adopting the Attorney Generals formulary,
"that William Pitt Kellogg and S. B.
Packard are empowered to return as members
port this bill, and for every other Office whom
soever they may choose" The swift and
measure of 1872 fills the members
Of the existing Legislature with admiration as
we'll as delight. The bill to every ether per-
son proposed game OF open and shut. KEEL

in the hands of white men. They are only
proper for blacks. So he proposed to take all
The arms from the whites, and to furnish arms
20 those who, under his directions, would use
hem judiciously. Seizures of arms took
place, and others were suggested by his crea-
ures These searches and seizures were

nd breach of peace. The time had obviously |
ome to New Orleans when
"He who would live exempt from injuries
OF armed men, must be himself in arms"
The people rose, and Kellogg, with the |
members OF his usurpation, incontinently fed |

lie was as safe from molestation az if he had |
one to the bracing atmosphere of the De-
artment OF Justice in Washington City. The
surpers had abdicated the positions into |
Which they had been forced by Gen. Emory's
ommand, under Marshal Packard's lead in
1923. The lawful government took possess
ion OF the places to which they had been
lected, and which were vacant. We do not
ollow in the way of thinking which discovers
ny unrighteousness in this act When
'harles l went into the House of Commons
f England and demanded the surrender to
i'm of five of its members, to answer his arti-
les of treason against them, he violated the
iShts SO sacred, which ultimately terminated
4 his dethronement and decapitation. CLAIR

All men agree that these acts and orders

lotion or warrant Of any department Of the
government of the United States. Here,

with malice and mischief. John
