Senator CoAkhng's announcement that the
louisiana question Is to be the issue OF tue Presidential
campaign In 1876 has stirred excitement in the
party ranks and several Of the sagacIOus of the
organs have demanded OF Mr. COnkllng more definite
abatement OF the case. They are tim0rons about at
tempting shoulder the whole series OF bunders, and
worse than biunders. which have sgnazef the Admin

party through s leaders ought either to refuse TO be
responsible for al unconstitutional proceedings or make

Here is another good piece of advice for the
Administration party from OF its faithful organs
IhI Philadelphia telegraph: Z" 1t will be OF no avail for
the Republican managers TO secure Offices as base of
operations. They may have control OF every office
throughout the land but unless they show themselves
