corruption in the State and local administration in
Louisiana. For this, the republicans, especially
under Warmoths rule, are largely responsible, al
though in numerous instances their opponents
have been equally to blame.
Eighth, The effect of all this has been to put an
end to the authority of law in large portion OF
Louisiana, to deprive the negro of his freedom and
wholly to destroy the value Of the methods pro-
vided by law for securing fairness at elections and
asccrtaining their results. This state of things
overthrows republican government in Louisiana,
and seriously menaces the whole country.
Ninth, a new election held at this time under
the national authority is not desirable. Ii Is not
wished for by either side, and would iniamc and
augment the evils now existing.
Tenth, 1t is the duty Of Congress to use such
powers as are vested in it by the Constitution 1t
should recognize the lawful Governor Of Louis,-
ana by express resolution. We think william !:
Kellogg the choice of the majority OF voters OF
Louisiana, and that he should be recognized ac-
cordirgly. Congress should provide further safe
guards Tor proving elections and ascertalnlng 'He
result, II can be devised.
Eleventh. But these remedies are al the pesV
| temporary and superficial. curing the symptoms
and not the disease Efficient aid to the state 10
establish public education would have gone Tar TO
| prevent the evil and may yet do much to erect u
cure. The public sentiment OF the rest OF the
country, without distinction OF party, may do
much to remove, as it has already unfortunately
done much TO aggravate the evils in Louisiana, 1t
is necessary that the people should understand
that all the authority lodged in the general gov
eminent to preserve republican form OF govern
ment and to protect the rights of all its citizens,
will be kindly but fearessly and steadily exerted
and that no party in this country will accept the
alliance of men who are seeking power by such
methods as we have been compelled 10 describe:
Unless this can be done the free institutions OF
the whole United States will not long survive the
destruction ofthose in the South
Whereas, both branches OF the Legislature OF
Louisiana have requested the special committee OF
this house to investigate the circumstances attend
ing the election. and said committee have unani-
mouslv reported that the Returning Board of that
State, in eanvassing and compiling said returns
and promulgating the result, wrongfully applied
an erroneous rule of law by reason of which per-
sons were awarded seats in the House of Repre-
sentatives to which they were not entitled, and
persons entitled 10 seats were deprived of them.
Resolved, That it is recommended to the House
of Representatives of Louisiana to take the neces
sary steps TO remedy the great injustice and TO
place the persons rghtfuly entitled to seats there
in.
Resolved, That William P. Kellogg be recog-
nized as the Governor of the State of Louisiana
until the end of the Of the office by the con-
sttution of that State.

and efficient candidate. Mr.. Gunther and
Mr.. Hayemeyer when they ran for Mayor did
the same thing The truth is that Tam
many, powerful as it is, is only powerful
when it is in the right. Therefore, for John
Kelly to array against his ticket that strong
public opinion which looks upon the re-elec-
ton of John X. Hackett not only as an act of
justice to good man, but as an act Of pro-
lection to the community is to welcome
defeat of the best interests intrusted to his
care. The discipline of the party will be
injured the great work of Governor Tilden
will be paralyzed the prospects of New
York in the next campaign for the Presi-
dency will be darkened. The democracy
of this city who have long been the imperial
guard of the great national army, who have
never failed to answer the democratic sum
mons, will enter the next campaign dis
united, discounted and dispirited. John
Kelly should nominate John X Hackett to-
morrow for every reason of politics. This is
his duty as leader of Tammany Hail. He
should nominate him for every reason of JUS
tice. This is his duty as a citizen. If he
does not nominate him and forces him upon
the people as the peoples candidate, to be
voted for without distinction of party, upon
his head alone will be the consequences to
the democratic party and to Tammany Hall.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

There is a gradual toning up of the topics
on which the city pastors discourse from
Sabbath to Sabbath, SO that by the time the
evangelists, Messrs. Moody and Sankey,
come among us they shall have the true re-
vival ring. Three of our pastors will adj
dress their congregations to-day on that
momentous event declared in the Scrip
tures-the second coming of Christ. Mr..
Lightbourn will refer more particularly to
the time of His coming and Of the end of the
world Bishop Snow will also devote him
self to a consideration of the prophecies on
the time of the sounding Of the last trumpet
and the revealing Of Gods mystery while
the third will give heed to the hope which
Christs instant coming may inspire
in our hearts Two Of our city pastors
will give attention to prayer, Mr..
Saunders taking the general subject
and Mr. Willis its magical power.
Mr.. Seitz will speak about the atonement,
and Mr.. Mccarthy will take the same theme
but will discuss it as the malediction of
blood. The voice of God in dreams and His
sovereignty over all things and all men will
be duly considered and presented by Mr.
Boardman, while Mr.. Leavell will take up
one Jesus and present Him as personal Sa-
viour TO his people. And right in the same
line Of thought, too, is Mr.. Lloyds echoes
from Calvary, in which the Redeemer, dying
for men, plaintively asks the Father why He
has forsaken Him. And then the answer
comes from the same preacher-God would
rescue those who we're wrecked by sin. Mr..
Williams will give the Masters call, and Mr..
Alger will show why that call is not an
swered, and give the excuses that men make
to God for not answering the obliga-
tons Of the Gospel on them. DR.. Talmage has
found it Wall street has been looking for
it, but it was hidden away in the study of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle, and to-day it will be
brought out and given free to the country
What is it?

Mr.. stanIey's Expedition.

We have not received the latest letters
from Mr. Stanley which have arrived in Lon
don although they are already due. We
print, however, two editorial articles from the
London Daily Telegraph of September n and
%, giving an idea of their contents. The
telegraph is united with the HERALD in the
Stanley expedition, and our gallant CORE
spondent in his new work carries with him
the English and the American flags. It
would be improbable to anticipate the re-
suits of his inquiry, especially as we may
soon hope to lay them before our readers.
But from what the Telegraph says
those results thus far contain most important
contributions to the geography Of this
mysterious, interesting and wonderful con-
tinent. Mr.. SANKEY'S latest letter was dated
May Is, which may well be called 'recent
intelligence" from Africa, considering the
time that elapsed between the various com
munications of Livingstone, Baker and other
travellers Mr. Stanley himself was in good
health when heard from, but he had been
unfortunate in other respects. Two of the
Europeans who accompanied him-Edward
Pocock and Frederick Barker-had died of
the fever. OF his party of three hundred
and forty-seven one hundred and eighty
one had died from fever, dysentery, desertion
and fierce fighting. In one battle with
treacherous tribe he lost twenty-one of his
followers.
While we deplore these misfortunes we
are glad to learn that our distinguished cor
respondent, 'the gallant young American, =
as our ally calls him, has achieved results
which Justify the confidence with which he
was appointed to command this expedition.
His ''swift and resolute" march to the shores
of Lake Victoria is said to be without a
parallel in African history; for it was march
Through matted jungle and waterless
plains, through mountain ranges and
swamps, over rivers and wildernesses, and
with or without the leave of fierce tribes. !"
give Mr.. Stanley "a place in pub
lie estimation worthy of the friend
and helper of Livingstone, as one
Of the most skilful, successful and
daring Of modern travellers. The letters
which are TO come contain ''all the in
gradients Of adventure" and as our ally
eloquently remarks -'Something more
than ordinary emotion attaches to commune
cations thus almost providentially received
from the sombre depths of the African
iungles. They are bought for science at the
cost Of the lives Of devoted and brave men !;
they come to US through hairbreadth escapes
and untold anxieties they are written by a
hand burned by fiery suns, and composed by
brain full Of all the constant cares Of an
expedition which demands the gifts of a
soldier in unison with almost every other
quality which makes man"
