The republican leaders Ia this state
and am among them, sincerely ant
truly believe that our party had larg'
majority IN 1872, and that Governor
Kellogg and his associates oil our state
ticket would have been elected by sucl
majority, had the election been fail
and honest, but that they were actual
a reduced majority, we charged then
and have ever since continued "
charge, aud we have conclusively
shown to the senate committee that
Governor Warmoth, in alliance with
the democracy, used his unusual execu
tive power in the appointment of OIL
GERS who manipulated the registration
and the election so as to change aud
alter the results. To crown all, wher
the election had closed he attempted
to pack the returning board, and to eff
feet this end he overthrow the local ju
dietary by violence. These first meas
ures and subsequent acts were beyOnC
the constitution and beyond the law.
They were revolutionary in the fullest
sense of the term.
1t was during this period that said
| from the bench, while examining an is
sue which arose out of the disturbed
condition of affairs, that the coup d'etal
il not an American institution. Since
that time, surrounded as l have been
10y so much violence and wrong doing,
/ have sometimes lost faith in my
generalization, but now, when calmly
and hopefully look to the future and
contemplate the time when the Louis
lana troubles shall be remembered by
the American people only al II horrible
dream, still believe that | truly COM
prehend the spirit OF our republican
government.

The Price Current says: At the sug-
gestion of several western produce
merchants and dealers, we would state

government, and the excitement In
political circles here during the past
week, have not interrupted the course
Of trade. The sales, receipts and ship
ments of merchandise have gone on

NEW YORK, January s.--The Herald
has double-leaded editorial calling
attention to the call for meeting here
on Monday evening, and the intiuen-
tial names attached thereto. 1t says:
The president can not affect to ignore
or undervalue such demonstration,
supported by such eminent names.
The president is bound to pay some re-
gard to the public opinion of the coun-
try. He ought not to be confident that
he is right when the best sentiment
of the best classes condemns him.
1t is at least his duty to pause
and reflect and to re-eXamine the re-
suit of his unprecedented action. The
president will soon see that he is mot
supported by the sentiment of the
country, and that his unparalleled
course arouses the apprehension of the
people as no other public event has
done since the firing on Fort Sumter.
This respectable and influential call
ought to convince the president that
there is a limit beyond which no pub
lie officer in this republican govern-
ment can go with impunity.
The Times says: We learn from
our correspondent at Washington that
the president will send message to
congress, to-day or tomorrow, on the
Louisiana difficulty, and that it will be
unusually pointed. We hope it will
not be pointed with bayOnets like Gen
eral Sheridan's dispatch, which seems
to have produced an outbreak of indig-
nation from one end of the country to
the other. Some of the people in WASH
ington must be crlriously incompetent
to guage public feeling, or they never
would have allowed that mad dis
patch to have seen light. 1t is
much to be desired that some men,
bers of the government would
take pains to acquaint themselves
with the tone and temper of the coun-
try. If the cabinet had been prudent,
it would have put General SheridaD's
ferOcious message on or under the
table or into the fire and said nothing
about it. Instead of that Belknap tel
egraphed back to Sheridan and said
the ''president and all of us thoroughly
approve your COURSE" which was one
of the most unnecessary and foolish
blunders ever committed by the pres
ent government. We hope the presi-
dents forthcoming message will be II
little more creditable to him, his Gabi-
net, his party and to the people Of the
United States Who, ii they also thor
oughly approve of Sheridan's course,
would stand disgraced before the civil
lied world.
