for his harsh and sudden policyf Why
send the Lieutenant General of the armies on
an GRAND of INDEPENDENTLY to make o
tour of inspection of the South and report
upon the condition Of affairs, but really with
orders to take command Of the army and navy
and become the proconsul of military des-
potism7 This is what we have seen in Louisi-
anna military despotism, in its severest ai,d
most offensive shape
Such message will be read with interest,
but at the same time it does not meet the real
point at issue. Ten thousand murders would
not justify the acts which have aroused tho
anger and apprehension of the country. The
way to punish murders is not to march file
of soldiers into sovereign assembly. For
that oct there can be no excuse and no apology.
And this is the act of which we complain.
The meaning of the Message is an attempt
to change the issue, to distract the
incensed public opinion of the nation. But
it will not dol Our controversy is with
the President of o free Republic at peace for
having overthrown q sovereign assembly by
an act of war. Let us determine that, and
then consider the murders. Many crimes.
even of murder, will not excuse one crime
that of military usurpation. We can punish
one as veil as the other.

The NEW SENATE-As the terms of
twenty-five United States Senators will
expire on the 4th of March the DO
hucal complexion of that body and it's
personnel are Of deep interest to the public
We therefore print to-day thorough analysis
of the situation, and it will be seen that
eight of the approaching vacancies have already
been provided for and that seventeen States
have yet to choose Senators. The result will
probably be the election of eight republicans
and nine democrats. As the Legislatures will
soon decide upon the fortunate candidates
the probabilities may be studied in our cor
respondence from the capitals of Missouri
Nebraska, Massachusetts and Tennessee.

~"So DA~~ASs Appear 10 S~"8A~
The letter which Mr. Henry G. Dibble,
member Of the Louisiana government, has
addressed to Mr.. Foster, the Chairman of the
Congressional Subcommittee on the affairs of
that State, will be read with interest. 1t is
the testimony Of one who ought to be well in
formed of the situation, and who has been
consistent in his support of the Kellogg
rule The points which we understand
Mr.. Dibble to make are these: the
opposition contemplated this year
coup d Aat in New Orleans; that the ''timely
interference Of federal bayonets'' prevented
this blow, and was justified by the facts; that
Louisiana has not republican form Of gov
eminent, and that Congress should take meas
ures to obtain one It is asserted by Mr..
Dibble that the State is in the same condition
that it WIS in 1867, and he suggests that the
same processes Of reconstruction should be
resorted to. Considering that those processes
have confessedly failed throughout the whole
South, and especially in Louisiana, would it
not be well to substitute for policy Of recon-
struction one of restoration? But we are
glad that Mr.. Dibble proposes that Congress
shall take up the entire question in Louisiana
and settle it, and this is clearly the only
thing to be done General Sheridan cannot
settle it by making military rule superior to the
civil authorities; the President cannot settle it
by the desperation of the Legislature, and the
people Of Louisiana, it is proved, cannot
settle anything. 50 long as past evils and
wrongs and prejudices are permitted to con-
troll the present That Congress, in
duty to the whole nation, is bound to act
is proved by the assertion of Mr.. Dibble that
''the measures of the republican party had
vested in the Governor Of the State q degree
of power scarcely exercised by any sovereign
in the world" That power and q republican
form of government cannot exist together.

GALL OF Us. There is evidently divis-
ION in the Cabinet On the Louisiana question.
1t will be seen by our Washington dispatches
that the Postmaster General and even the At
torney General are not ready to commit their
fortunes to Mr.. Belknap's despatch, that Score
fary Robson asserts that be is law-abiding
citizen, and that Mr.. Fish is waiting
for all the facts before be finally decides. The
North has evidently been head from in Wash
ington, even if the gentlemen there are still
unable to hear the voice of the South. 1t is
not Southern question that they have now
TO settle. but question for the whole country.

The PRESIDENT announces that 'peace
shall be maintained in the South, even if it
requires the economy of blood" The coun-
try is puzzled to know what ECONOMY of

to be that the President would have o dozen
or SO leaders shot now, before they have q
chance to shoot any one themselves.

The Two Great American Martyrs
Grant and Green.

The Two Great American Martyrs,
Grant and Green.
The President thinks he is the worst abused
man in the history of the country, and not
only thinks 30, but has said 80 officially in
his annual Message to Congress- just after
the Greeley canvass. He then complained
that throughout the war and from my can
didacy for my present Office, in 1868, have
been the subject of abuse and SANDER scarcely
ever equalled in political history" The ma
jority of the people had supposed that Gen
eral Grant was the best rewarded person in
American history. He was elected President
ct time when he had no political opinions
he was willing to express all his errors were
excused on account of his inexperience in civil
affairs; he was again elected, and he was the
first President who had his salary raised.
Nevertheless General Grant has always
considered himself one of the great political
martyrs he made personal sacrifice when
he gave up the Generalship of the Army,
position for life, to oblige the American people
by accepting the responsibility of the Presi-
dency heagain sacrificed himself in 1872 and
he is willing to endure the same anguish in
1876 In this martyr-like spirit the President
has consistently visited his righteous wrath
upon the people who have offended him. The
South annoys him by its attempts to govern
itself, and he sends an army to govern the
South /; Louisiana perplexes him and he dis
perses it's Legislature by the bayonet He is
like one of those old martyrs who when
bound to the stake, revenged themselves by
working miracles of punishment upon their
prosecutors.
Andrew B. Green considers himself an
other great American martyr. just as Grant,
whenever he has made mistake in his policy,
attacks the people he has wronged, 80 Mr.
Green, when his rule has become more than
usually odious, revenges himself upon his
colleagues. He wreaks his vengeance upon
the other departments, and when he Is &C
cused of extravagance in his own branch of
the government practises q severe economy
upon the clerks of somebody else. Mrs.
Gummidge did not represent herself to MIR.
Peggotty as more lorn and miserable creetur
than Mr. Green describes himself as such to
the citizens OF New York. Everybody has
wronged and abused Mr.. Green, and his own
sad accounts Of his sufferings for the public
good would cause person ignorant of the
situation to shed tears of sympathy and VICE.
Yet the public observes that both Grant
and Green as martyrs appear to be pretty
well satisfied with their positions-better
satisfied than the people are with
their actions. Even their party friends are
displeased, and as the republicans would be
delighted if Grant would relax his grip of the
neck Of their party, SO the democrats would
be rejoiced if Green would resign. But
neither party dares to openly resist This
terrible man Green cows the mutinous de-
mocracy of New York, and the other terrible
man Grant keeps at his feet the discontinued
republicans of the country. What is the
reason of this sullen obedience of each party
to an incubus it would be rid Of?

Tho Ultrnmontanists.

correspondent addressing the HERALD re-
Gently seemed anxious to know why we have
more respect for Prince Bismarck policy than
that we regard the uluamontanists as mis-
chievous sect whose political aspirations
should be postponed until we oil get to
heaven. To this we answer that ultramon-
tanism in Europe, SO far as we understand the
term, represents that party in Italy which
would like to see King Bomba on the throne of
Naples and all the Bourbon dukes recalled to
their old duchies; the party in France which
would pray for the r;turn of king like Louis
XI; the party in Spain which believes that
governed that country, and that Spain will
never be what it was until the Escurial is &C.
cupied by prince worthy to succeed that able,
bigoted, sombre tyrant In other words,
the ultramontanist party is that party which
not only accepts the infallibility of the Pope
as a religious dogma, but thinks that His
Holiness should sit in arbitration upon all
questions of international conflict; that, as o
distinguished correspondent limited in these
columns not long since, he should have been
called in to arbitrate between the North and
the South at the beginning Of our war. We
can understand how party that maintains
these views-earnest, devoted, sincere, no
doubt-which regards the expulsion of the
Moors, the Massacre of st. Bartholomew and
the deeds of the Inquisition as so many acts
of faith, might be successful in some other
world where religious questions are no Ion ger
matter of debate or faith. But on this
earth-this thinking, inquiring sceptical
planet, where government is not matter Of
religion and should have no connection with
the Church-ultramontani is mischievous
and has always produced trouble.
We have good deal more respect for Prince
Bismarck than we have for the leaders Of this
sect Prince Bismarck is a daring politician,
resolved to build up Germany at whatever cost.
Though we have censured many of the means
he has adopted to attain this purpose, and we
think that history will decide that he has yielded
to ON imperious, tyrannical, masterful spirit.
But he has all along meant to do something pos
sble. The ultramontanists have been striving
to do impossibilities-to introduce the tenth
century into the nineteenth. Hence, we re-
gard them as mischievous, and congratulate
ourselves that in free America no such party
exists.

sNorHING TO SAY. "-Such prominent cti-
zens as Ex-Governor Dix and Ex-Governor E.
D. Morgan, when asked to express their views
of the recent events in New Orleans, have
nothing to say" Yet they cannot look
upon the overthrow of republican government
in q sovereign State and the dispersion of its
Legislature by federal troops with in
difference. Words of condemnation or
regret spoken by them at this time,
calm and temperate as they would assuredly
be, would have great influence and be
productive Of good. They hesitate to speak
such words but is not the fact that they
have ''nothing to say" an admission that they
cannot approve or justify the action of the
President, and would denounce it but for
considerations of political expediency?
THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS has seen fit
to refuse the pardon of Pettis the forger.
asked for as means of promoting the ends
of justice in New York. We have nothing to
say in criticism of this decision. But it is
believed that officials in New York, notably
persons connected with the Police Depart
ment, used oil the influence they could bring
to bear on the Massachusetts authorities to
prevent the pardon. We have reason to be-
lieve that full disclosure of all the facts
bearing on the case would afford clew to yet
undiscovered rascalites in this State. Can
we not have such an official publication as
will show what influences were used to induce
the refusal of the pardon? The Governor OF
Massachusetts should help New York to the
extent OF his power in this matter
PENNSYLVANIA calls upon Governor Hart
ranft to address the Legislature in as manly
tones as those of Governors Allen, CASTOR,
Brown and Woocson. No doubt he will do
30, unless he has forgotten what he said
in his last Message in no event and under
no circumstances should military force be
used until the power of the civil authorities is
exhausted and the outbreak assumes proper
lions of such magnitude that these officers
would be powerless to overcome it,

AssEMBLYMAN MCDONNELL seems to be
the amenities and Traditional courtesies
of Legislation are concerned. Never
before. we venture to say, has any MEM
Der of Nevada Legislature shown
himself willing to befoul the nest his
constituents placed him in by such =
course Of wholesale accusations as this
man has INDUCED in. The repetition of
street rumors to the prejudice of the
good names of fellow members ia one OF
the most reprehensible and objectionable
offenses against the requirements of leeis-
lative decorum re have ever known any
man to be guilty OF. A Democratic
House of Representatives once promptly
expelled one of its members for a coarse
personal attack on John Quincy Adams
Indeed, instances are of quite frequent
occurrence of the expulsion of members
of Legislative bodies for offenses of the
nature of this of which Mr.. Mcdonnell
is guilty. He was very near being shown
the door. No doubt there is some miti-
CATION of his culpability in the fact of
his ignorance of the usages of delibera-
tive bodies. 1t is to be hoped he will
profit by the lesson thus taught him.
Here follow the words of that clause of
the Constitution under which he was
liable to expulsion:
Each House shall iudge of the qualif-
cations, elections and returns of It's own
members, choose its own officers except
the President Of the Sena:e). determine
the rules of its proceedings. and may
punish its members for disorderly con
duct. and with the concurrence of two
