CURRENT OPINION.

SECRETARY RoBEsoN is clearly unfit
for his place, and as Impeachment is i'm
probable the president ought TO remove
him at once, and thereby wash his own
hands of all completely with the shame
ful transactions brought to light by the
committee of investigation.-N \. Her.
THE Pittsburgh Post thinks Grant is
certain to be heard fron, in one way or
another, at the national convention
Those who could fain believe that
Grant intends to act disirterestcd part
in this presidential game do not know
the man as well rs Gen. Blair knew him.
He will die hard"
THE Kellogg government will expire
with the current year and with its de-
cease, whatever may be the politics or
the personnei of that administration
which succeeds to the inheritance of mis-
cry, the obligation of the United States
to uphold by main force government
distrusted by the people OF the whole
country, and hateful to a majority of the
people of Louisiana, will come to an end.

REPUBLICAN papers Just now raying
about bloody massacres" and assassina-
tions in Louisiana, should also inform
their readers that Louisiana is governed
by the republican party, and has b zen
for some time. A long rs that weak

old story of outrage and disorder. Re-
publicaDs long ago demonstrated their
incapacty To govern.

The big new consolidated paper at st.
Paul and Minneapolis, the Pioneer-Press
and Tribune, says: If there is any
thing the country is more sincerely sick
and tired of than anything else, it is the
bloody shirt. One chief reason why
Morton is not popular candidate for
president, is because he is always waving
the bloody shirt. And there appears to
have been something like general re-
solve among the better elements of the
republican party to get rid of the bloody
shirt and bury it out of sight with all
other pretexts for interfering by military
coercion or in other arbitrary ways with
the local governments of the south, and
devote themselves TO the practical work
of roofing out corruption and reforming
the administration of the government
within its own legitimate sphere"
