The day of political judgment is near at
hand. On next Tuesday the suffragans of
the United States win hand in their YER
dict. The Radical party Is on trial, The
result has been foreshadowed by the people
of Ohio and Indiana. The public mind is
at fever heat. The Radicals are frightened
and demOralized. They are trying to keep
up their spirits and rally their men, but it
is evident that they feel that they have been
weighed in the balance andfound wanting.
They. know. that all Of their high crimes
and misdemeanoFs, which, like mountains,
rise up before the American people, are
dragging them down to destruction. Yet,
they feebly hope against hope, and hypo-
critically pretend that they have been the
saviors Of the country. Never before have
we seen stronger proof that a party had
passed under the public ban. Even their
leading papers freely. sdmit that the
Democrats VIII make large gains. In their
editorials, too, they show ss much quaking
politically as was exhibited by the monarch
and his oOurtierswhen that mysterious hand
passed along the VAN and wrote the SEN
tenCe Of an empire. The people are wOnderS
fully moved; the excitement runs high. All
classes are interested. The Radicals have
brought suffering and sorrow to many

LOUISIANA.


We cannot shut our eyes to the. monstrous
outrages which have been committed against
the citizens of Louisiana by the officers of
the Federal government. In every shape
and form, the most systematic and deter
mined efforts have been made to destroy
the organization against the Radical party.
The citizens have been subjected to an
ordeal which is Infamous, and will most as
suredly bring down upon the administra-
ton the anathemas of the iberty-loving
and fair-minded people of the United States.
The treatment of Louisiana is different from
anything that we have heard of in modern
times, except the prosecutions and arrests
which were perpetrated in South and North
Carolina in 1872, but more particularly in
the former. Previous to the revolution of
the fourteenth of September, the Federal
government, through Kellogg, lwas carry
ing on system of outrage and persecution
which could not be longer borne by the
citizens. His intention was to COM
pletely disarm them, and then issue
such DEGREES in relation to the election as
would secure, beyond all doubt, the State to
the Radicals. Now that this may not APP
pear as vapid statement for political pur-
poses, without foundation, we would call at
tention to the perfect license which Kellogg
enjoyed in the furtherance of all of his
wicked schemes against the people. It is
well known that they had applied to the
President and Congress time and again, for
relief from the CALLING tyranny under which
they were being ground and crushed, with
out avail. Kellogg knowing the situation.
and holding his Office by the favor of the
President alone, would not have dared to
violate the plain constitutional rights of the
citizens, unless Le had been encouraged to
do so by the Chief Executive, either direct
ly or indirectly conveyed to him. He had
triumphed over the vote Of the people
against him, and was, sustained BIZ Federal
bayOnets; the next step was to disarm them
and deny them the ballot except upon such
terms as would ensure his reelection. He
was not rebuked or interfered with. not

THE Houston Telegraph of the twenty
ninth instant replies to our last article on
usury; but as it makes no new point, and
does not successfully controvert the posi-
tions assumed by US, we do not think that
another reply is demanded. If the 1ele-
graph had presented any new arguments or
facts, then the Importance of the, subject
would require an answer, or admission.
We believe that sufficient reasons have been
adduced to show the necessity for an usury
law; and that the trainers of our new Con-
stitution will make provision requiring
such legislation as will secure our people
and State from the bhghting effects of ex-
orbitant rates of interest. Other States
have done so, and are reaping the vast ben
efts of cheap money, steady progress and
material Improvement.

noticed that the Nation is the paper which,
more than all Others, is the exponent Of edu-
Gated and unbiased opinion in the North,
and that it is Republican in politics. In the
summary of the week, October %, We find
the following:
"a convention Of all the more prominent

among the Southern politicians has met at
Chattanooga and adjourned. Before it came

ported that the Outrages were 80 numerous
and so terrible that much time would be
occupied in, compiling them. *
The convention Is treated with good deal
Of ridicule in the press, but We must say
that, in looking over tie names Of the dele
gates, we can hardly imagine body Of men
better qualified by position and experience
to discuss 'outrages' than they
This needs no remark; IL is full and suiiis

all who affiliate with them. There is a

the name Of pitch; this pitch, as ancient

But one quotation more from the same

tied tpThe Elections sThe Convention
at Chattanooga has been a very hard thing
for decent people to bear. It's principal

back in all the scandals and disorders Of

We advise the holders of pension bonds
not to sell them at present prices, as they
will undoubtedly command much higher
figures. The Legislature, which meets In
January, will provide for the future inter-
est on these bonds. There can, therefore,
be no reason why they should be hawked
on the streets of New York at such low
rates. But the speculator is generally at
work in the double capacity of bear and bull.
He first beats down and then pretends to
be the friend of State and individuals by
paying the highest market value.

THE NEW YORK HERALD AND THE
T." THIRD TERN.

The. New York Herald is excoriating the
Radicals on their refusal to speak right out
in convention against the third term non
sense. The Herald says that it is too late
now; that everybody can see that the re-
suits of the elections in Ohio and Indiana
have opened the eyes of the advocates of
another term to the great damage which it
has done to their party, and that now they
propose to unload the ship when it is
already sinking. The Herald is right.
That paper has warned and entreated
them to come out and state positively that
the Republican party was opposed to a third
term, but all in vain. Grant was consid-
cred so strong that it was not believed that
his and their silence would be injurious.
Now, however, they are ready to speak,
when nobody wishes to hear them, having
made other engagements and arrangements.
The Herald hits them the hardest kind of
blows, which will have very weakening
effect, and help greatly to run their ship
high upon the political breakers.

nearly six columns filed with an account
of the marriage, collation., congratulations,

trousseau and presents. How ridiculous it
is for people whose parents dealt in bees

NEW YORK DENIocRACY.-Ther has been
a split in the Tammany Democracy, which
may prove very disastrous in the election.
How men can expect to organize party for
selfish purposes alone, it is passing strange.
But there seems to be an incurable desire
on the part of few to monopolize and con-
troll everything for their individual advance
ment and gain. Hon. Thomas ]. Creamer
and John Morrlssey have had a personal
difficulty, with words, because the former
would not support the nominees of the lat
ter, even when sanctioned in Tammany by
the big chiefs, and made speech, in which
he did not speak of the Hon. John in the
most affectionate style. Hence the latter
demanded to know why he had taken the
liberty to abuse him thus pubhclyG To
which the Hon. Thomas replied that he
only spoke of him as public man, of his
public deeds, which he believed were just
subjects of criticism. As they are leaders,
it is feared that the Democrats will lose by
the antagonism. ~
