THE SITUATION:
A FEW MORE TOWNS HEARD FROM
Unanimity of Sentiment OF the Loyal
Press.
Watching the Progress Of the New
Rebellion.

% from our exchanges winch go TO show
. tone of the loyal press OF the North. Y
q I trust the Bulletin will give them it's atte
q ton. and take heed lest it further decei
q its readers as to the sentiment of the peop
!. Of the North on the condition of affairs
J. | Louisiana and the South. These are n
Q times when to meet facts with witticism
: evidence Of journalistic skill. The Bullet
? is misleading its readers to-day, precisely
the New Orleans press of fifteen years az
! did then in reference to the events whic
eliminated in q terrible war.
II A few more towns are heard from. an
| they speak in unmistakable language:
lFrom tho Greensboro: North Carolina. New Mort
Stated
Now, in our opinion, Sheridan is the yer
man for the place and the times. Pres
dent Grant knows his man. and is full
aware that he can depend upon him in a
emergency.
From the Knoxville Chronicle.l
Most of the Democratic editors nov
shooting paper balls at Sheridan took goo,
care to keep out OF the way Of his leader
bullets during the war. They thought ant
said then all the mean things they say now
From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.l
Phil Sheridan is of the decided opinion
| that a sufficient number of murders hav,
already been committed in the South. Thu
way to stop them, he thinks, is to stop them
The Southern bloodhounds understand
what he means.
From the New York Graphic
The situation in Louisiana is essentially
revolutionary, and the only way out of the
| whole difficulty lies through the establish
| ment and reign Of a military government
All the indications are that it will come to
that anyhow.
From the Louisville COmmercial1
| We are confident that the country will
soon be satisfied that General Sheridan, in
his present command. is the right man IN
| the right place. and that the Southern
| people will soon find that it he is strict in
carrying out orders he is also just.
lFrom the Newark Advertiser.l
These are the facts as they stand in the
history of this eventful week. Those who
do not understand them fail also to com.
prehend the dire results which would at.
tend any other action than that taken BY
the administration at Washington.
from the Pittsburg Commerciali
The Democrats had previously deter.
mined to play this Desperate and dangerous
game. stalking all upon the yesult. They
played 1t and lost. Now, as trick to gain
sympathy. they whine that they are mar.
tyrs to military despotism. Faugh!
from the Newark Advertiser,
The common sense way to look at this
affair 10 to see that Kellogg is de facto Gov.
ernor, and that if he is not Governor de
jure that is question for Congress and
not the President to decide. 1t is no part
OF the Presidents function to 90 behind the
returns and decide between the two con.
testants.
From the Boston Traveller!
The action Of the Governor in this case
is not simply justifabe-it was demanded
by the circumstances. Even if the Demo.
Gratis who forced their way into the House
are legally elected their names we're not
enrolled. and they had no right to resort to
violence and force to secure their rights.
.from the Alabama State Journal.i
The attempt Of the Democracy to seat
their Speaker by revolution was crime for
which there was neither palliatiOn nor
excuse Il was an attemp: to set aside the
law. 1t was therefore an outrage for which
no excuse can be accepted. And this out.
rage is the real cause OF all the trouble that
followed.
sFrom the Cincinnati; Commercial, ]
. The question of the organization Of the |
Legislature OF Louisiana rests upon the con. |
duct Of the Returning Board and the final.
lty OF its action. If there is no appeal from |
its acts-if its decision is final and COM

revolutionary. Governor Kellogg was fully

From the Rochester Democrat and ChfonicieI !
The President could not permit lawless.
less. and although he, in common with ]
many Republicans, may have doubts in re.
lard to the validity of that government,
ha trouble has been that the other side has

legal and even reasonable attitude,

tFom the Pittsburg Telegraph J.
In this emergency the aid Of the federal
overnment was called in to GUST the lille.

from the Pitssburs Gazette.l II
Enough has occurred in connection with ! i
le legislative organization at New Orleans
render 1t entirely certain that the rumors
revalent OF the purpose Of the White t
easue to capture that body were entirely I
'iiable. The Conservatives did manage

From the New York Commercial Advertfserf
None can deny that the time for polite ! a
