THE LOUISIANA COMPROMISE.
Tho efforts Of the best ,nen in tho country
Of both parties have been given Of Iato to
tho settlement Of tho disgra9cfnl conflicts in
Louisiana upon any basis Tint would give
peaco to the State and to tho country. The
existing facts present serious difficulties. Tho
election Of 1879 is pronounced by the Senate
Investigating Committee to hive beon illegal
because Of its gross frauds. This judgment,
while it disproved KEL1oao's right to govern,
equally cot aside ArcENEnys claim to bo Gov
crnor. Tho Sub Committee Of the House,
composed Of five men Of both parties, unani-
mo,,sly dcclarcd tho samo election illrgal be-
cause Of fraud; tho President lns de-
clared tho same thing; md OH that
point there il but ono opinion among
nll honest and fair-mindcd men. Tho
remedy proposed was that Congress should
take steps TO hold D now election. Against
this the whole Democratic prty in Congress
and several Republicans enter protest,
denying to Congress tho constitutional au-
thority to take charge Of State elections. III
tho meantime, the President las BEEN conf
PEELED to recognize de .ti1cto Government in
the State, and has supported it poueiing some
other settlement which he urges to be made.
Tho attempted revolution by W1LTz on tho
4th Of January is now considered by Demo.
