We have said this much to prevent the
idea that there is body of disaffected
men in Louisiana who only await some
foreign complication to throw off their
allegiance to the government, and attack
those with whom they disagree politically.
1t might do mischief at home, if the peo-
pie believed that the government can not
conduct an Indian war and protect the
colored voters at the same time. We
have demonstrated the absurdity Of any
such supposition. The government can
protect the rights of its citizens within
and without its jurisdiction, and it will
do so.
But if the government is scandalized
with inadequate military forces it must
not be forgotten that Mr.. Randall Demo

the army to twelve thousand men. II
would be as just to say that the object o.
this economy has been to disable the
federal government in its protection Of

reasonable to suppose that the Democracy
had stimulated the Indians to make wal

needed elsewhere than at the South, 81

American capitalist and the American labCrer. The
same remarks apply with equal force to the second
section of the BILL which deals with iron and other
metals Our own rolling mills are furnishing rail-
road iron at about onehaf the price obtained three
years ago, and yet even at these rates, Mr. Wells,
Mr.. Morrison. and the Parsee' are unwilling that
American labor shall furnish it. The whole bill
proceeds indeed on the basis that our revenue must
be increased by inducing foreign importatons, no
matter what effect will be produced on the Ameri-
can mechanic whose bread depends on the revival
of the trade in which he is skilled"
"And the new free lst-what of that'"
"By those who have carefully examined the free
list which the bill contains, Ii is pronounced and
denounced as the most shameless attempt to play

This sketch certainly Ia not by friendly hand,
but it conveys scarcely an exaggerated idea of the
extraordinary position Grant has held in the city.
He may not have been respected, but he has been
dreaded. He was a master of his trade, man OF
undenable abilities, restrained it was believed, by
no scruple and possessed of that vast power which
great wealth and abilities used without scruple,

prietor were ignorant that Sampson sold and Grant

WASHINGTON, Feb. G.-The currency and the tarlf

Democratic leaders desire. They would like to post
pone the consideration OF both Of these subjects nm

Western inhatiODists and Revenue Ieformers are 80
eager to promote their own political fortunes at
home that they will not be satisfied with any passive
policy and have therefore, during the past week.
thrust both subjects upon the attention Of the
House, the former by insisting upon the meeting of

ton Of Mr.. MOrTison's bill.
OF the two questions, the currency seems TO in

naturally arise upon the introduction of 50 i'm

take leading part in opposition TO the BILL should
