ANOTHER LOUISIANA TROUBLE
THREATENED.

There is prospect of another embrOglioi
in Louisiana. 1t is caused by an attempt
of the Senate, which has a Radical ma
jority, to force the passage of an election
law, creating a 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
majority in the House of Representatives,
with sufficient power, if the wrong is
persisted In, 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-
tirely justified by the meanness and per-
| fdy 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 a usurper. He was not
elected to the office he is presuming to
occupy He is the creature Of fraudulent
and arbitrary proceedings but in a spirit
of Cancellation, the Democrats, who won
the election, agreed to a 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 a fair
election law, the country at large Is IN
terested in the issue, and while we appeal
| to our brethren IN that Stale to act with
reason and moderation, we invoke them
to act with firmness in the maintenance
OF the right.

The Democracy ansi Ihe Currency
Question.

There are gratifying rumOrs that the
committee of Democratic Congressman
to whom has been confded the currency
question, will agree upon a compromise
plan for the reconcilement Of the divi-
sons of the party on that question. The
true line of conduct for the Democracy,
under the circumstances, is plain. For
all the evils of the present system, and
the financial distress which it has brought
Oh the country, the Radical party is en-
tirely responsible. For the last fifteen
years they have been in control of all the
Departments of the Government. They
still have the Executive, and one branch
Of Congress; and to them belongs the
task of relieving the country from the
difficulties into which they have plunged
it. The Democrats of the House could
not enact any measure, with the Senate
and the President against them. Why,
then, should they endanger their own
party's success, by tampering with mat
ter which, after all, they have no power
to control? Why not pursue plan of
mastery inactivity on the currency ques-
ton, until after they have carried the
Presidential election, and viii haye be-
come responsible for the manner in which
the affairs of the Government are con-
Quoted There are ample opportunities
for useful employment TO the Democratic
House of Representatives, in proposing
reforms in the expenditures of the Gov
eminent, and above all, in investigating
and bringing to light the extravaganza
and corrupticns Of the party in power,
and showing the necessity Of change in
the administration of the Government.
Why not adopt a plan of mastery mac
tiyity on the currency question, for the
present, ard make an aggressive war
upon the ruling dynasty!

To effect this object they viii no doubt

THE Pilot publishes the following au-
tf1orized version of what cofored Senator
Bruce did say about Gen. Grants re-
nomination:
a telegram was yesterday received
from Senator B. X. Bruce, dated Wash
ington, D. c., FEBRUARY 10th, 1876, ad-
dressed to friend in this city, to the
following effect: II have this day openly
proclaimed my opposition to the nominal
ton of Gen Grant / 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. I have no secrets on this
subject; have just made speech de-
nouncing the third term:
THE Pilot discredits the report that
the colored Senator renounced carpet-bag
leadership. The Times, the organ OF
the other wing, which is edited by
federal office-holder and is presumed to
reflect the sentiments Of the Administra-
ton, is indignant at the Senator.
