aid lnat the point in Gov. McEnerys
interference against the adjustment of
the Louisiana difficulty is not so much in
the fact that his vote fell 10000 short of
that of Lt.-Gov. Penn's, who advocates
Inc adJustment-as in his personal interest
in the matter.
1t Will be remembered that Gov. Nc
Emery objection to the settlement is
that though it will restore to their seats
III the Legislature the members who waro
elected, and will give to the Democrats
ana conservatives their rightful control
OF that body, it will leave unsettled the
guoernatorial issue of 1872, with. Kellogg
as the dc tacto Governor. This is a hard
condition, and possibly no settlement en-
braclng it, ought to be agreed to. But
We submit in view of Gov McEnery's
direct personal connection with the issue
IL would be in good taste for him to leave
the decision to others.
