WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

| As proof Of what would have resulted ha.
the views Of some of our Democratic ant
Conservative friends prevailed, and Of wha
the press Of the country would have said of us
We give the following editorial from the New
York Herald Of the 2Sth ultimo. The Herald
has the faculty Of talking very glibly on bott
sides of question, and while it not unfre
quently says very kind things of Louisiana
and dwells occasionally on the great wrongs
she has suffered, it never fails to stigmatize Of
revolutionary and unwise any attempt on the
part of our people to regain possession of the
State:
IMPEACHMENT OF Gov KELLOGG.
We fear the Democrats of the Louisiana
House Of Representatives will perpetrate a
impeachment Of Gov. Kellogg. They can
have no expectation Of securing his consic.
ton in trial by the Republican Senate The
movs ment is trick, more dexterous than
wise, for putting the Democratic Speaker of
the House in temporary possession Of the
gubernatosial chair with Q view to the next
election. It is not SO much an act Of justice
against criminal as scheme for gaining q
party advantage.
By the Constitution Of Louisiana an i'm
peached officer is suspended from his func-
tions until the conclusion Of his trial, and in
Kelloggs case it. is calculated that such q
suspension would be equivalent to an abso-
lutte removal The Legislature is about to
adjourn, and will not meet again in regular
session until next January, when Gov Kel-
logg's term will have expired. Ii he is i'm
peached now, and the Senate should not be
in session to try him until the Legislature
meets next year, the impeachment would
ton and sentence, which is the result aimed
ct by the Democrats.
In order to get beforehand with his enc
mics and defeat their game Gov. Kellogg has
called an extra session Of the Legislature to
meet Immediately after the adjournment; but
his authority to issue such call is disputed
on some tecnicauty Of which we cannot judge,
not having copy Of the Louisiana Constitu-
ton at hand. But it the Republican Senate
responds to the call the trial will proceed,
and there can be no doubt of q prompt &C.
quittal II this is accepted as valid the
Democrats will have made great furry for
nothing; but if the right of the Senate to try
and acquit is disputed the State will be dis
turbed by new bloody conflict, leading to
Federal interference for restoring tranquility.
There is no excuse for mourning 80 great Q
danger, and as the whole movement is
country would justify Federal Interference
That unfortunate State has suffered enough
from civil disturbances, and it is to be hoped
that the passions Of reckless politicians will
be held in check by the united public
opinion of the business classes, who have
nothing to gain and much to lose by . re-
ne val Of the old conflic 8.

THE OUTLOOK.

The adjournment Of the Legislature vi
give the people time to pause and reflec
calmly upon the coming campaign. There il
no doubt that louisiana was never before II
such danger-the future never before in the
political history Of the State was SO obscured
and forbidding, and yet it will not do for Us
as sensible and reasoning men to stand with
folded hands and permit the destiny OF the
State. the fortunes Of our people TO be welded
by aliens or by negroes. We can not by force
better our condition, because the strong arm
Of the Federal Government will unquestion-
ably crush Us If we attempt it, and because
the attempt would seriously injure the pros
poets Of that great party which is about to
| wrestle with the Radical party in the national
ontest, and which, if it succeeds, will no
doubt see that the wrongs of which we justly
omplain and which have excited the indig-
nation Of all good men everywhere are
righted.
4. The National Democracy have no word of
comfort or of cheer for us; it is unable to rid
us of that engine of oppression, the Return
ing Board, and in effect it says to us: Take
care of yourselves as best you may, but for
heavens sake don't do anything rash and
thereby endanger our chances"
We have no quarrel with the National De-
mocracy because it can not help us in this
dilemma; it is natural it should do that which
shall rebound to the benefit of the party as
whole, and not imperil its success by taking up
the cudgels for Louisiana, grossly wronged and
grievously oppressed though she may be, and
is. While, however. we have no words Of CEN
sure or of reproach for the party Of the nation,
whose battles We have fought with unfinching
courage and devotion, we take it that that party
can not object to the people Of this State
adopting any policy that in their sober judg-
ment is best calculated to bring them speedy
relief 1t therefore remains for Us to take a
calm and dispassionate survey Of the situa-
ton, without special regard to the demands
or requirements Of party, and to act with the
view of having our State government placed |
in the hands of our own people. Good local
offices of the State and city filed by honest
and able men Of our own selection, we should
be enabled to wait with much more patience
'or the downfall Of the Radical party Of the
nation. That this can be effected We are in
,lined to believe, and it seems to as it now
becomes the duly Of every man who has the
interest Of the State really at heart to devote
lis every energy to the contamination Of this
object. We may have to discard
ONE Of our pet theories, and to relegate to
'bscurity some OF those who seem to believe
hey have divine right to dictate the policy
0 be pursued by the people in every emer-
ency that arises, but this is an occasion
Vhen individuals will have to give way and
7hen the good of the State will have to be
be question Of the first importance.

THE NEW ORLEANS BULLETIN, FRIDAY MARCH 3, 1876.

and useful portion Of the road will
be the section from the Rio Grande to
| he Pacific ct the sple6did land-locked
deep-water harbor of Mazatlan, the best har.
Dor on the Pacific coasts of both continents,
except tine Bay Of San Francisco The dis
| lance from Laredo to Mazatlan in an air line
| is perhaps about 500 miles, or with due al
lowance for necessary deviations, about 600
miles. Portions of the route are unfavorable
to q cheap and easy construction, but the
natural obstacles Of the country are far from
being insupersble. The road runs through
region very wealthy in mineral resources, va
ried and rich in the products Of the soil, hav-
ing climate Of unsurpassed salubrity. The
distance from this point or from the Missis-
sippi to the Pacific at Mazatlan, does not
much exceed 1850 miles.
There is little reason to fear the unfavor-
able consideration of this road by the Mexi-
can Government, as it would open up for de-
velopment and settlement region Astounding
in all the elements of wealth. Mexico would
concede to q company capable Of carrying out
the great design all the privileges which the
company would have in the United States, in
Guiding large grants of lands valuable in min
erals, requiring nothing SO much as rail-
way for establishing their value The road
will be golden band of wealth stretched
across the territory of our sister republic
from the Great River of the North, and as
such would be welcomed by her enlightened
rulers
Going to Mexico with the sanction, coun
tenance and support of the North American
Congress-, the corporators would treat with the
Mexican Congress, Cabinet and President IN
der favorable auspices. Before the grand
scheme can bear its rich fruits there are many
formidable obstacles to be surmounted and |
many millions to be expended, but the ad-
vantages to be won are SO great and evident
that when once began there would be in ihe
enterprise all the vitalizing elements which
promise success.

Tee situation brought about by the actio1
of the House OF Representatives in the at
tempt to impeach Gov. Kellogg having grow1
extremely grave, and the serious consequences
involved in conflict that to many appeared
i'm minent, induced us to telegraph for advice
to our trusted Representative in Congress and
valued friend, Gen. Randall L. Gibson.
Our object was to ascertain definitely
whether there was, on the part Of our Demo.
cratic friends in Congress, the slightest hope
Of our being able to maintain any advantage
that.mighs be obtained over the usurpation,
and to see whether the sentiment in Congress
would sustain our people in an attempt to en-.
force the rulings and actions Of the House in
the matter of impeachment.
We have been from the first convinced that
the President backed up by his advisers and
the Radical United States Senate would, on
any pretext, interfere by using the Federal
troops whenever the existence of the Kellogg
government was imperilled. We have recog-
nized the danger of conflict of arms at this
time and have done our best to avert it, be-
lievipg that since the evils under which we
suffer can not thus be cured they had better
be endured for short season longer.
All the information attainab!e led us ire
sistibly to the conclusion that in conflict of
arms-and in our view q conflict was inevita
BILE the very moment the Honse ahc uld at
tempt to pass from words to action-would
not only damage our own people, but would
cripple the friends of Louisiana abroad, if
indeed she have any, and materially iDjure
the prospects of the National party.
Imbued with these ideas-ideas which had
become firm convictions-we sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Gen. Gibson:
New ORLEANS, March Hon. Randall
Gibson, NJ. c.. Washington, D. c.: Situation
becoming serious. What is opinion of friends
in Congress? Should impeachment be pushed
to conflict?
To this dispatch Gen. Gibson responds as
follows:
WASHINGTON, March Ito Page NJ.
Baker, New Orleans: They have advised
already. Military interference would re-
suit May Heaven give our people light to
see their way. R. L. GIBSON.
The House, it appears from the authorized
utterance Of its leader, Mr.. Wilt, has never
contemplated any action other than such as
was necessary to maintain its dignity and
self-respect, though it is difficult to see how,
if the impeachment matter had been actively
pushed to its legitimate conclusion, conflict
could have been avoided.
