JUSTICE TO Our GovERNoR.-We
take the following extract from the
Inuisuillo Goama N ea.cinI Of az T,,osdar.

JUSTICE TO Our GovERNoR.-We
take the following extract from the
Louisville Commercial of last Tuesday:
Governor Kellogg has been so in
discriminatory abused that we take
pleasure in giving the people chance
to be Just to him and give him the
credit he deserves. A recent amend
ment to the Louisiana constitution
provides that call appropriations in
excess Of revenues shall be null and
void, and that the State shall in no
manner provide for their payment"
The Legislature, which has just ad-
journed, passed an appropriation bill
which exceeds in the aggregate the
current revenue. The Governor could
not disapprove the unconstitutional
items without vetoing the whole bill,
and to veto the bill would be to clog
the whole machinery of the State and
stop the supplies of its charitable in
situations. Feeling compelled to sign
the bill, he ut once directed the At
tOrney General to examine it and di-
rect the courts to nullify its uncon-
stitutional or improvident provisions.
This was the proper course under the
laws of Louisiana for the protection
of the State. It may seem bold as
sertion to some people, but still
fact that no twos Governors in the
South have labored more boldly or
persistently for honest and econom-
ical State administration than the
present Radical Governors of Louisi-
ana and South Carolina.

In the recent elections the people have
declared in favor Of honesty in politics and
independence in journalism. The Tribune,
which years ago declared that it was not and
never more would be party organ. claims
the verdict, as the popular vindieation of its
course, and recognizes in the result the
voice Of the people for reform and integrity
in government, for candor and independence
among newspaper During the campaign
maintained it's right to the title of the
" Leading American Newspaper" This
position it has earned and retained for the
following, among other reasons:
It publishes all the news, earlier, more
fully, and more intelligently than any other
paper.
It insists on peace throughout the whole
country, the right Of local self-government,
and the protection of all classes in the ex-
ercise of their just and legal rights.
1t advocates confidence ana good feeling
between North and South, and labors for an
honest and abiding reconciliation.
1t maintains fairness and candOr toward
all public men and questions, and dignity
and courtesy toward associates and rivals.
It publishes scientific news, reports, dis
cussions and discoveries to degree of full
ness and accuracy never before attained by
any paper. ..-.
IL gives every week TEL Of MOTc coluHHs
of the most carefully prepared agricultural
matter during the year, much more in the
aggregate than the entire contents OF any
other agricultural publication, and the
whole forming department OF which an
eminent agricultural editor said: IS 1t has
done more to make good farmers than any
other influence which ever existed"
1t has published a series of scientific and
literary extras which have met wider sale
and more emphatic popular approval than
any similar publication of the kind.

There has been great activity in sS5's during
the day. Prices are strengthening, and there are
good indications Of return Of the days preceding
the days of depression and depreciation which set
in about two weeks since. They are held hrm
at 6s36.
The great topic Of conversation has been Gen.
Chipman's bill, to be introduced next Monday.
The General has displayed great aeumen and
foresight in providing so easy means Of appre-
ciating the bonds to the point contemplated by
Mr.. Wilson, Of Indiana. Every other attempt
having met with signal failure there are very few
hopeful enough to expect q speedy and favorable
disposition Of this bill, and the activity to-day
cannot be attributable to "great expectations
based upon this measure. There is nothing un-
reasonable in the bill. The bonds should even
be made Government securities, and this bill
practically constitutes them such. Banks in the
District ought to be permitted to deposit them at
the Treasury basis Of circulation at the lower
per cent. named, as they are in every way as
cure. A demand for them would thus be created,
and they would occupy prominent place in the
markets; and creditors would receive something
like fair remuneration for their forced invest
ment.
