The doplorab1o conflict between negroes
and whites iu Vickshurg yesterday, partic-
u1ars Of which are given in our news columns
this morning, aroso from political differences.
The whito people of Vio1ssburg lately met iu
1nass-mceting and ordered the resignation Of
certain comfy officials, most of whom wcro
coloretl. Tt is said by tho Republican corro-
Epondonts tint tho officers tlonounccdin in mass
meeting wcre not 1norely requested to rcaign,
but tllruatouod with assassination. The Dom-
ocratio correspondents mako no montion Of
such threats. It is too soon, perhaps, to fix
responsibility for the twenty or more
livos which hnvo already been lost in
tho prosecution of this quarrel, nnd
for tho scandal aud disreputo which it will
bring upon tho City Of Vic]ssburg md tho
Southern whites generally. This much, how
ovor, VIC arc prepared to say ut once: Tint
tho 1naas-mcoting plan Of disposscss-
ing officers duly elected cannot bo,
and will not be, tolerated by tho
National Government. It mny be truc-tlo
dispatches from al sources say it is-that
Gov. Amcs hos melted and assistcd this negro
1nsarroction. If 80, lle las bcon injuilioio,,s
and hesty !; but ho has noted moro within
bounds than those whites who forced the col
ored officers to resign. There wcro le9al
remedies for both sides which had not been
exhausted.

Hero wo hare complication in which
Kellogg and his associates aeek to involve tho
Republican party Of tho country. Tile con-
tomplatcd proceedings by the Democrats Of
the Louisiana Legislature aro undoubtedly
lngitious, wholly indefcnsiblo, but aro they
/ without precedent? How did the Kellogg
Legislature act TWO years ago, when they ILL
yokod tho judiciary mud tho Federal troops to
install themselves in power, anG when tho
Legislature elected everybody who ives M
obstacle to their supremacy? As we said Il
few days ngo, wo tlinl, the Republicans, rs n
pnrty, havo carried Kellogg anil Ills associates
long enough; they hnvo kept him in power
by force for two years, against the SOLEMN
Judgment Of tho Investigating Committee Of
Republican Senators that he was III usurpor.
Behind that judgment tho Republican party
cannot now go, particularly when the poop1o
| of the stato havo affirmed it by q Into vote
that is too decisive to bo questioned.

TIE LOUISIANA GAZE.

The Executive officers Of tho Stnte of LOU
islana aro Mt Washington urging Congressional
notion, with n Wow Of having tho Kellogg
Government formally declared the legal and
Legitimate Government Of tLat State. The
necessity for this nction will become obvious
upon simple review Of tho facts. At the
tilno Of tho election Of 1872 Warlnoth was
Governor. ALI tho returns Of tho election
OF that year wero sont, in conformity with
Inv, to tho Secretary of State, md wero by
him transferred over to tho Board Of Cau-
vassera organized by Warmotl. Judge Dbl
rol, in ono Of his orders, prohibited this
Board from declaring any canvass of the re-
turns, and ordered that no person should be
admitted to tho Stato-Houso or pretend to act
rs 1nombcr Of tho Legislature sayo such
PERSONS as should DO doclarod elected by
the Lynch board Of Oanvassors. The
Wnrmoth Doar1 Ind MI tho ollloial returns,
and tho Lynch board bud nono. Tho Lynch
Doerd announced tho result Of tho elections
without my returns; Ms a1r. Lynch explained
in his testimony Mt Warrington before tic
Senate Committee, they 1uado out their fig
uros "as thoy thought they ought to be. "
Upon this CANVASS by tho Lynch Board,
Kouogy, aud tho State officers, tuld the Legis-
laturo, wero declared elected, aud were in
stalled in Office under Durc1la orders. At
tho election in November, 1874, the Demo-
Gratis olcototl majority of the House OF Rep
resontatiyos in tho Legislature. III tho son-
nto matters n1o mixod nud doubtful. Two
yeays ago ten Democratic Senators clai1n to
layo boen elected who wero counted
out by tho Lynch Board. Tho Legiala-
turo moots in January, aud tie DEM
ocrats propose TO first organize tho
House, aud thon that tho House should
only racognizo Senate in which these
ten Sonators thrown out in 1872 aro
admitted. This being dono, tho Senate will
alEo DO Democratic. AL this boing accom-
pliahed, tho two Houses Of tho Logislaturo

sago can scarcely full to mako our Spanish re-
lntions the subject Of the most oarnost con-
sidesation at the present session Of Congress.
spain has herself furnished our Government
with al opportunity to revise these relations,
and insist upon treaty that shall protect US
from tho outrageous determinations put upon
III in our trade with Cuba and Porto Rico.
For moro than n ycar the Spnnish Govern
mont hna trile1 with us about tho indonniA-
cation justly txoa for the infamous slaugh-
ter Of American citizons under the orders Of
Spanish butcher in Cuba 1t is time that
the United States should abandon for
boarance, and insist, in no doubtful
torlns, not only upon our rights III this
specific cnso, but upon fair md equitable con-
oossions in tho commercial rolntions between
the two countries We have hold aloof for
sovoral years, silont spectators Of the persist
eut tlogolation Of one Of tho fairest Islands on
carth through system of barbarous cruelty
aud Infamous extortion on the ono hand, and
desperate resolution on the other, which the,
Spanish Government has shown itself power
less to put down. Wo hnvo tncitly sanctioned,
by policy Of nou-intorforonco, sorioa of
barbarittos that havo called for international
protest on tho ground Of common humanity.
The effect Of this policy Inns simply been to
encourage oppression md extortion on tho
part Of spain, sustain tho 1a9t-surviying relic
of human slavery on the Continent, and por-
nit thomost ontrageoustl discrimination asainst
the trade Of this country.

to lcavo to Congress or to tic Executive to
iix Tho amount Of currency in circulation.
Tho banking monopoly should cease, md n

This IN brief in The substance of tho Presi-
dents argument and Of his recommendation.
If VIC understand 1t, it involves tho
ultimate withdrawal Of tho grccnbach

M convenient means for rofuutliug all tho
5-o0 or other per cent bonds in bonds OF a
lower rato Of interest. To do this will re-
quiro somo time, but it will have the effect Of
ultimately sovoring tho Government from NIL
connection with currency making. The bills
OF the National Bnn1s being secured by de-
posits Of bonds, their redemption will at all
times bo certainty. Neither the President
nor Secretary name any dato Mt Which tho ro-
