THE SEW YORK PRESS ON THE
COUP D'ETAT IN LOUISIANA.


NEw YoEK, Jan. 5.-The Tribune de.
nounces the military inference In Louisi-
ana yesterday, as one Of the greatest out
RACES that ever yet in the history of the
country has been practiced upon the cit
liens OF a State. A minority of the LIZ
cislature, never elected by the people,
but foisted upon them by the most bare
faced frauds, without regard to ballots or
returns, or anything but the necessities
of wicked and corrupt ring of politi-
clans. sits in New Orleans under the pro.
lection of Federal bayonets, and under.
takes to legislate for the State. Nothing
in the history of the country, not even
the great conspiracy by which the Border
ruffians undertook to seize the Territory
and State OF Kansas, can furnish any
parallel for this browning iniquity Of the
Federal administration.
THE TIMES
avoids endorsing or approving the pro.
ceedings, and says the troops were called
to remove persons not members OF the
Assembly, and their commander included
in that number certain Democrats not
named by the Returning Board. but who
had been admitted. To this the Demo.
Gratis, who seem to have been in the
minority Of those present who were en-.
dorsed by the returning board, protested.
THE SUN
heads its report Of yesterdays doirgs,
"The Growing Outrage"
THE WORLD
mas nothing but praise for the spirit in
which the representatives of people OF
Louisiana yielded to the tyranny which
they could not resist. There Vas no
reason why they should not have re-.
sisted to the death this foul outrage upon
law and liberty, except the hopelessness
of resisting. A rising would have had
consequences pitiful and terrible to even
think of. The legislators of Louisiana
yielded with decencey when they could
not resist with hope. That submission,
or any tolerance of this last aud worst
outrage of the traitor who sits in the
Presidential chair, which stops short Of
driving him from it into darkness and
disgrace, will be the confession that the
American people are no longer ft to
have liberties, which in that case it will
not take them long to lose.
THE HERALD
declares the scence spectacle which
should cause every true American to
blush with shame and indignation.
Forcible resistance would have been
jstifiable if it could ever be justi6able in
any case. for q greater outrage on every
principle OF free government was never
perpetrated, were it not for the fact that
the people of Louisiana have surer re-
sources for the redress of their griev.
ances in the sense Of justice Of the peo-
pie of the whole country. The Con-
servatives had achieved perfect triumph
before the military intervention. Their
success was won by the absence of two
Radicals, which enabled the Conserva-
tives to elect q temporary chairman with
out assistance from the five Democrats
referred to the Assembly by the return
ing board for settlement. Then the Con.
servatives admitted these Eve aud elected
Witt Speaker. Apparently no question
Of the regularity Of these proceedins can
| be raised.
THE EVENING POST
says the employment of the Federal
army in the organization Of the Legis'
lature, appears to be absolutely unjusti
