| The Bee still thinks that the Demo
Gratis lost an excellent opportunity o.
legally Kidding the State OF Kellogg ant
the Returning Board 1t says that there
is no weight in the reasons advanced fol
abandoning the impeachment, which
were "that 1t would violate the com
PROMISE cause Federal Intervention
and estrapge from us the Northern
Democracy.'"' The first objection it dis
poses Of by the fact that the impeach
ment Was for acts committed since the
adjustment; as to the danger OF
estrangitg the Northern Democracy, il
does not see why we should SO much
fear the displeasure Of those who &c
knowledge themselves powerless to aid
us; the possibility Of Federal interven
ton, II there were then any, has been
thoroughly removed by tho develop
ments in the Belknap case, and 1t thinks
that in the present condition OF affairs
in Washington, Kellogg's appeals for
help would have been UNDECIDED. III
IT alludes TO Kellogg's message to the
Senate, and considers that document
alone sufficient to convict him of some
Of the more serious charges against
him. .....
The Republican pretends that its party
can be held to no responsibility for the
extraordinary crime Of Belknap, and
that In tho exposure Of such crimes
there Is cat1se to rejoice as it thus has
the opportunity Of purging itself of its
corrupt followers. ~yiJ4#g ht- =.iaH n
It thinks that the abandonment of the
Impeachment is a warning to what it
calls the "'Cotlshatta Democracy" that
they have lost their controlling influ-
ence, and the sceptre having fallen from
the Bourbon, 10 hopes that the masses
OF both parties will henceforth meet
each other as fellow citizens, with no
fear Of the violent partisan and loud
mouthed demagogues. .fl n a.
The Picdy,tne again recurs to the ar
ticle in the Times charging it with hay
ing no fixed opinion upon matters Of
public interest, and with being ready to
flop to the winning side. It then gives
its opinions upon certain questions, and,
comparing them with those of the Times,
concludes that the two journals differ
materially on important points, and
states its cheerful willingness to allow
the public TO judge between them. N a
It thinks that the Babcock and Bel
KNAPP cases effectually dispose Of the
third term problem, and that the saliva
tion Of the Republican party depends
upon Its prompt and unmistakable sep
aration from Grantism. o, aat 5mLr'i
The tBMiletin says that the State
has gained nothing from the COM
plete and general victory won by
the Conservatives in 1872, unless
it be the temporary and reluct-
antly-conceded power possessed by the
majority in the House to limit wasteful
Ind dishonest legislation. In the ap-
preaching campaign the problem will
be how to effect the transfer of the gov
erning4 power in Louisiana from the
soiled hands Of enemies to the clean
hands Of friends, and this can be solved
only by the nomination Of men of well
known and we'll proven integrity. u
The Times suggests that this is a fit
ing opportunity for Gen. Sheridan to
reciprocate the Kindness shown him byt
Belknap, when the latter autographed

regard to the celebrated banditti dis
patch, concerning which the whole coun-
Try was then reyiling and ridiculing
aim. AS for Grant, it wonders what he
must think with the pillars falling one
~ one around him, with some OF the
in felons' cells, and others
threatened with the same fate.
