What He Did Saw.

The Pilot publishes the following au-
thorized version of what colored Senator
Bruce did say about Gen. Grants re-
nomination.:
A telegram was yesterday received
from Senator B. K. Bruce, dated Wash
ington, ID. c., February 10th, 1876. adj
dressed to friend in this city, to the
following effect: II have this day openly
proclaimed my opposition to the nomina-
ton of Gen. Grant l will not support
him although he may be nominated by
the convention at Cincinnati. [ will. in
few days, state my views at length to
the Senate. l have no secrets ON this
subject; have just made a speech de-
nouncing the third term:
THE Pilot discredits the report that
the colored Senator renowned carpet bas
leadership. The Times, the organ of
the other wing, which is edited by
a federal office-holder and is presumed to
reflect the sentiments of the Administers
ton, is indignant at the Senator.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1876-02-14
Another Louisiana Trouble Threatened

There is prospect of another embroglio
in Louisiana. 1t Is caused by an attempt
of the Senate, which has Radical ma
jority, 70 force the passage of an election
law, creating Returning Board with
powers greater for the Preparation of
fraud than the infamous measure under
cover of which the previous troubles have
been brought upon the State. The
Democrats claim that the abolition of
this abuse and the passage of fair law
were among the reforms promised by the
Wheeler adjustment, and that having a
majority in the House of Representatives,
with sufficient power, if the wrong is
persisted ID, they will proceed to impeach
Kellogg and Antoine, the present Gov
ernor and 1t Governor. Under the
State Constitution, an officer is suspended
from duty by the fact of his impeach-
ment and during his trial, and, therefore,
Mr. Speaker Estillete, Democrat, would
become the acting Governor. The
measure, though extreme, would be en-
atiEelY justified by the meanness and per-
u \ of the knaves they are dealing with.
A compact broken on one side is broken
on both and no reasonable mind could
reach any other conclusion but this in
such a case as the action of the Louisi-
ana Radicals would present. Kellogg
is VIGOROUSLY usurper. He was not
elected to the Office he is presuming to
occupy. He is the creature Of fraudulent
and arbitrary proceedings; but in spirit
of Cancellation, the Democrats, who won
the election, agreed to compromise by
which he was to hold the office undis
turbed, in consideration of his party CO.
operating in the accomplishment of essen
tial reforms for which the people had
declared in the last election. If they
break faith, there remains but one alter
native and that is the suspension of the
pretended Governor and Lieut.. Governor
for their numerous and fragrant high
crimes and misdemeanors. AS the vote
of Louisiana in the Presidential contest
will depend upon the passage Of fair
election law, the country at large is in
terested in the issue, and while we appeal
| to our brethren in that State to act with
reason and moderation, we invoke them
to act with frmness in the maintenance
of the right.

The Times may congratulate itself on
the report of the Cardozo Investigating
Committee. 1t arraigned him at an early
day for peculation in his office of Super
intendent of Public Instruction, and its
editor was one of the principal witnesses.
And yet the Times and that ilk have
raised great hue and cry against the
people of Mississippi because, at the late
election, they determined, in a strictly
lawful manner, to rid themselves of such
rulers.

The President as "A Witness i'm the
HsabcOcE Trial.

Chicago Times.l
disappearance of the President of the
United States as a voluntary witness
against the United States and on behalf
of person who is on trial for criminal
violation of the laws which the President
is sworn to faithfully execute, is certain
ly one Of the most disgraceful spectacles
ever beheld in civilized country. "He
shall take care that the law be faithfully
executed" is the language of the highest
law. Yet this public servant, who IS sworn
TO faithfully execute the laws, steps volun-
tarily into the witness box to screen from
the penalty of the laws a man whom the
United States, through him, the execu-
tive thereof, is supposed to be prosecut-
ing. When In the whole course of
human history was such spectacle seen
before? Its parallel can not be found in
human records. History left it for u. S.
Grant to establish this bad precedent in
disgraceful official prohigacy. 1t is
shameful.
