The Situation in Louisiana.

/ This Is commonly understood TO be "a free
country We are fond Of calling L 70.
We talk about the rights Of the people, tho
/ freedom Of The ballot, the rule Of the ma,
iority, and all that sort Of thing, in a Ger.
tain large and self conscious way, as though
We believed Ia ourselves aud our institu-
4 tons: and next year We are preparing to
celebrate our Centennial and hold ourselves
up to the admiration Of the world. VIII
anybody tell US before that event, aud In
the pauses of our selfgratulsti0n over the
success of democratic form Of govern
mcnt--by what means, through what pro
cess, the people cf Louisiana can recover
control Of their own State? Just consider
her situation. II is the universal belief
that Conservative State officers aud Log
islaturc were chosen by the people in
llS72. This is the admission Of some OF
the most prominent and influential Ad-
ministration Senators and Representatives.
That result was reversed by United
States Judge, Durcl, who has since re-
signed to avoid impeachment The usur,
patton of the Kellogg party was sustained
BY the Federal Administration. Tho poo
pie Of the State bore patiently the yoke
until the attempt was made to take away
from them the arms which the Constitu.
ton in so many words affirms their right 10
bear, Then they rose up and threw off the
usurpation in September last. The Gov,
eminent iDterfered and restored the old
regime. Still they were patient They
waited till they could have the opportunity
again to assert their rights by the peaceful
agency of the ballot. Again they elected
a Conservative Legislature, The persons
in possession Of the State Government,
through a Returning Board which they
have constituted as part of their machin-
cry Of selfperpetuation, deliberately cheat.
cd them Of their choice, and under the
forms of law returned a Legislature Of
their own selection Circumstances oc.
curing which promised to make this plan
abortive, they unhesitatingly call in Fed
eral troops and eject from the Legislature
sufficient number OF Conservative mem.
beers to leave their own party in majority
The least the delrauded people could do
under such circumstances was To protest
against the outrage. This they did with
dignity, making no resistance when force
was offered. Upon this Gen. Sheridan
asks the President to proclaim them
"banditti aud leave to him the business
of hanging aud shooting them. This i.
the true state Of the case.-N. y. Tribune

The New Orleans Report.


When Messrs. Foster, Phelps aud Tot.
ter were appointed a subcommittee to
visit New Orleans aud report upon the
true state Of affairs in Louisiana, the whole
country was satisfied. Itwould have been
hard TO select three members Of the House
Of Representatives who command more of
the respect and confidence Of all PARTIES.
They are gentlemen of marked ability, Of
unimpeaehable uprightness, and of Iecog-
nizcd standing in the political organizations
to which they belong. There was no dan
ger that before such committee either
side would fail Of an opportunity to present
its whole case. The sub Committee work
ed hard, took a vast amount Of testimony.
listened to counsel--one for the Couserya.
tive and three for the Kellogg side
and held aloof from all social entertain
ments which might be supposed TO warp
their Judgment. They inquired carefully
into the nature Of the White League. the
management Of the recent elections, the
stories Of intimidation and coercion. and
the proceedings of the Returning Board
and they were eye-witnesses Of the trans.
actions Of the 4tl of January between the
troops and the Legislature. When they
presented their report to the full Commit

that the election had been conducted with
remarkable fairness that the Conserya.

They added that the stories Of oppres-

were hctions, that organization Of which
Gen. Grant believes such awful tliines

MoRE TAxEs.-The treasury needs
revenue, and it is proposed to repeal the
act Of Congress of 1872, whereby the du-
ties were reduced ten per cent; also to re-
store the duty on tea and coffee, and TO
increase the tax on whiskey. These meas
ures, il is thought, will replenish the
treasury and enable its monthly statements
to show surplus instead of deficit, as it
has done several times recently. There
is no hope of more economical admins
tration while Grants term continues, the
only resource, therefore, IS to pile on more
taxes.

VS. have heard much, ever since the
surrender a APPROXIMATION, about bridging
the bloody ehasm Piegau Banditti sher-
idan would bridge i with the slain bodies
Of the southern people Grant would have
sssomebody hurt. Logan and Morton are
saxing ia the Senate chamber like famish-
ed tigers for southern blood. Garrison and
Phillips still cherish their olden hatred to
the south: INSCRIPTIONS Radical papers
still shout arebel,p and traitor 70 the
top Of their bent, and all who are like
minded, are bitter audunreleniing towards
the southern people, and ready on the
slightest occasion, real or imaginary, to
visit them with their sore displeasure, 50
that the prospect Of peace and harmony
still seems as remote as ever, although ten
years have passed BY since the war. just
after The elections, last fall, we began to
think that an aera Of good feeling was
beginning to dawn upon the country. The
Democrats and Conservatives we're inspired
with kindly. iorgiying feeling, towards
all who had been the occasion Of otfense
towards them, and The Republicans, stunned
or dumbfounded over the result, were qui-
escent for the time being. But, events
have since proved that the quiet was des-
tined to be Of very short duration. The
leading Radicals seem determined to re.
new the ascerbity Of feeling, aud to kindle
afresh the bitterness which it was supposed
had become extinct. They are striving
hard 10 rekindle the war feeling in the
north and to influence the public mind
against the south, in the hope that re-
action may set in, 50 that they may be
saved, as party, from total humiliation
in 1876 They are doomed to disappoint
ment. The south, however shamefully op.
pressed, win bear it in patience. Peace
win be preserved at every sacrifice. NJ
pretext viii be given for the employment
of the bayoues, and the blood hounds o
the Administration viii be disappointed Of
their feast Of blood. The ballot will b,
the peaceful agent Of the Democratic part,
to wrest the country from the control o.
the ineompetents whose domination is now
a sore affection to the whole people
Then, and not till then, will there be |
thoroughly restored union, aud peace and
prosperity win return to bless the lane
once more. Then only, will the "bloody
chasmr which radical agitators are deter
mined shall not be hridged, be effeetually
closed, and the country once more fine
rest under constitutional government
Then Grant, Sheridan, Williams, Morton
and Logan, viii sink into that insigni6-
canoe from which they only emerged
through the throes of revolution, which
brought the scum of society to the surface
and the whole country will have cause to
rejoice.

Flogging for the crime of theft is prac-

great wisdom, and he deemed the use Of
the ''rod' a good thing. A greater than

srxrcn o. sksA1oh HAalLsoS. "A
friend placed in our hands copy Of the
Congressional Record containing the able
speech Of Seussor Hamilton, Of this State,
on che use Of The army ia Louisiana,
whereby the Legislature of that State was
broken up and dispersed. II Is clear
and manly elucidation Of the subject, in
which Mr.. Hamilton uttered an earnest,
bold and telling protest agains, the dcs-
potic act Il was the voice Of indignant
Maryland, speaking through her Senator,
to the country, the Executive, the army.
and to Congress. He was frequently in
terrupted BY Howe, Flanagan, Clayton,
Morton and Logan, who eyineed by their
interruptions the force and effect Of Mr..
Haniltons arguments. He was especial
y happy in repartee with Senator Logan,
who referred to Penn overthrowing the
State government of Kellogg, in Septem-
Der last, reminding Senator Logan that he
himself was one Of committee which nc
ported that there was no State government
in Louisiana.
The words Of another Senator, in the
same debate, equally challenges our adj
miration. In discussing the motion to
clear the galleries, on account Of demon
stratious Of applause, Senator Bayard, Of
Delaware, said Sour responsibilities for
what we say, or hoac zee may sag i, are to
the country, aud we are not to be inter
fered with in this our chamber Of deliber.
alton. | will 60 as far as any man within
the body, in insisting upon the rules Of
order that shall apply to the Roor Of the
Senate as well as to the galleries, and that
nothing shall be allowed either on he foo,
or IA the galleries, that shall interior, with
proper elaboration upon public subjects.
This was a palpable hit at Senator Logan
who had, on several occasions, during the
progress Of this debate, borne himself
rudely, boisterously and defantly, richly
deserving the incisive thrust which Mr.
Bayard gave him on this occasion.

The corn crop Of the United States for
1874 Is reported by the Agricultural De.
partment at slightly more than 500 millions
OF bushels. This Is reduction of 100
millions from the corn crop of 1873, which
was itself "not good year for corn.
This decline in production accounts for the
high price Of corn. Two crops having
been thus below the average, Il is to be
hoped that the corn crop of 1875 may be
a good one. This crop is as important as
the wheat crop, for upon i; closely depends
the provision crop of the country and the
maintenance &C oil working animals, Wills,
not a small part Of it belongs to the staple
stock Of human food.
