New YORK, January 5.-Referring to the
proceedings at New 0fleans yestetday, the
Herald says there was with essed in TIE Louisi-
ana State House yesterd lay, a spectacle which
is the first of its kind in this country, and
which ehodld caGseevcfy true American to
X blush with shame and indignation. I'VE
congratulate the citizens. of Louisiana and
the people Of the country, that this extra
ordinary and most revolving scene did not
provoke violence and bloodShed. Forclble
resistance would have been justifable in
this case, if it became justifable 10 any case,
for greater outrage on every principle of
free government never, was peTpetrated.
We've, it not for the fact that the people of
Louisiana have a sure recource for redress
of their gfievance in the sense of justice of
a whole country, their case might be
homeless. Public resentment, however, will
be kiRdled to the highest pitch by these at.
etrocities and unexampled proceedings.
The Tribune says: ssNothing IN the his
tory OF even the great conspiracy by which
border ruffians undertook to seize the terri
4 tery.sand the State Of Kansas can furnish
4 7any parallel for this crowning act of Fed
\ eral administration. The citizens of Louis
] lana have been themselves cheated and de-
kfrauded, and when the fraud came near to
failure, they have seen the whole power OF
the general government used to consummste
il and make .vi.laihy successfuf. They make
