IY Judge Advocate Gen
eral Holt has been placed on
the retired list, at his own re-
quest. He is remembered in
connection with some of the
most disgraceful scenes that
stain the pages of American
history. His brutal conduct at
the trial of Mrs. Surratt, and
his tyrannical course generally
in relation to arbitrary arrests
and courts martial, will condemn
him to infamy as long as his
name shall be remembered a.

exactly when it says that friends
OF currency reform must ask of

may request:

taken from the national banks,
and that the notes of the United

friends for their former patronage, and to
solicit its continuance. While we pay spe-

anything except for French and German.

Going to Louisiana.

If it were not for the cruelty of it, there
would be room for mild sarcasm on the
count of those eminent Democrats in New
York, New Jersey and Missouri, who have
accepted the invitation of the chair
man of the New York State Demo
cratic Committee, and who are now
gathering from many points of the COM
pass toward New Orleans to assist at the
counting OF the vote. Il not Louisiana q
sovereign State! Has she not laws, and
Legislatures, and Governors, and Return
ing Boards, and is she not competent to
count her own votee3 If she is not, it is
very unfortunate; but surely it can not be
remedied by the interference Of men who
come from other sovereign States, and have
ana than of Mexico or Canada.
This grand doctrine of State rights comes
to conspicuous grief so invariably that we
are growing somewhat accustomed to its
violations, and if the Democratic party
can stand them, so can we. We should
not care to be responsible for the alb
surd idea that half q dozen excited par
tisans from Tammany Hall, who know
nothing whatever about Louisiana, are
entitled to more weight in q matter of
State election than Returning Board duly
constituted by law but this is q matter Of
no consequence. If the amateur Returning
Board can do no good, they will not be al
lowed to do any harm ; but we may ask
them whether the reasons which justify
their presence in Louisiana began with the
election on Tuesday,
If the amateur Returning Board are au-
thorized to count the vote they certainly are
authorized to inquire into the circumstances
under which the vote was cast, and we trust
that ere they take their spec tacles off of their
impartial noses they will see how it comes
to pass that in precincts which had here
tofOre given Republican majorities, and cast
thousands of Republican votes, not single
Republican vote was polled on last Tues
day. This is certainly singular circum-
stance, and one that demands full explana-
ton. If it had happened in one of the
Tammany wards of New York, what would
the amateur Returning Board have thought
of it? Mr.. Cox, for instance, is proprietor
of three wards in New York, which, on
Tuesday, gave him the supelf1uously large
majority of 10000 votes. What would the
Democracy have said if it were announced
that in Mr.. Cox's district not q sin
gle Democratic vote had been polled
Would there not have been a howl to
split the sky! And yet this is just what has
happened in Louisiana, though we venture
to say that the editors who are working
up to double-leaded agonies;
and the refOrmers who have grown over
excited over the prospect that this little
game may not be successful, will confine
their attention exclusively to the parishes
which have given Republican majorities,
and will insist on our accepting the returns
from the parishes where the triumph of
reform was attested by the failure to cast
,ingle Republican vote.-S. Louis Globe.
