SPEAKER WILTZ'S SuOT. The message OF
Speaker Willz, OF Louisiana, to the President,
was palpablc hit The President, having
virtually disclaimed in his message that the
military interference in the organization OF the
Louisiana House of Representatives was au-
thorized by him, Mr.. Wil'z, as Speaker OF the
House. reasonably aud logically asks the Pres-
dent to direct the military to restore the status
ia quo existing at the time of the military III
reference, 10 order that the House may pro-
coed in the discharge of its duties without mo-
lestaton. Here, says the Baltimore Sun, Was
an admirable opportunity for the President to
rectify great buuder, if not crime. Although
he urges that the military interference with the
House was not known to him till after its &C.
currence, it was the natural sequence oil the
whole course of the federal administration IN
Louisiana. That power alone has put and
kent Kellogg where be is, and the army aud
navy have been used 10 his support. The spr-
it 10 which this had been done all along was
Sufficient, but when that spirit and policy were
intensified by sending the hot-headed Sheridan
there to take command. the Soldiers, who are
not expected to be lawyers, naturally tell un-
der the ualigu influence thus created, aud the
violent act that they perpetrated followed The
sending of Sheridan was indeed the key,no
to the real intent of the administration. What
ensued after such man was sent there, was
almost inevitable Il is never too late 70 mend,
however. Let the President act upon the sug::
gestion of Speaker Wiki and put the elected
members of the Legislature back where they
we're. That is the only atonemeut he can
make
