LOUISIANA'S INSUA. -
cout,nusa from First rxse,

Mr. Stephens was thespeech of Robert Teombs b
anta last night. in which he urged the pespie 20 st
the passage of any troops through this' esv'
Toombs. however. in no way represents public sen
timent in Georgia The people call him out for a
harangue, just a bar-room crowd call for a song
or story from an old topper; they laugh at his OK
travagances. aud would consider any one fool to
take his advice. He is absolutely without follow
ing, even in his own home.
There is no difference Of opinion here as to the
Louisiana affair. The party led by Lieut.-Gov.
Penn commands general sympathy, and their course
is commended On the ground that an extraordinary
case requires an extraordinary remedy The hope rs
expressed that the victOrs will show discretion and
in their treatment of Kellogg and ms
and be careful that the rights OF the
colored pseD do not srffer at their hands.
