Jury In Louisiana mas just lhulcLeu
Messrs. Wells and Anderson, members
of the Louisiana Returning Board, for
their action in the matter of the late
canvass OF votes in that State. 1t was
understood that all prosecutions Tor
political o1enses committed prior to the
withdrawal Of the troops by the Presl-
dent were to be abandoned as one con-
sideration for said withdrawal; and this
action Of the Grand Jury looks like
violation of good faith.
However, it Is one thing to indict and
another to convict. These gentlemen
are entitled to a fair trial by jury; if
they have that NO wrong can be done
them; If they are denied such trial,
then it will be high time to denounce ali
concerned in the business. The matter
has got into the Courts; there let it re-
main. Nobody can, or ought to inter-
tere now; but the law should take its
course.
II they are convicted, doubtless under
all the circumstances Gov. Nichols
would par don them, as he ought to do.
There must be no revival OF passions on
account of political prosecutions. The
North can be patient under many
things; but the people Of Louisiana must
beware OF injudicious political persecu-
tions. Nothing has occurred before,
since the withdrawal of the troops, to
so infame the public mind here AS the
Indictment OF these gentlemen. We
think it was mistake.
THE MEXICAN QUESTION
still troubles the Cabinet, and another
meeting was held yesterday on the SUBJ
ject. The new Diaz government is
pretty crank, it seems, and wouldn't OBJ
ject to "skrimmidge" with Uncle Sam;
Dut we don't want a war, even Will
Mexico, il IL can hoDorably be avoided
The question now is: How can we avoid
war and yet maintain our rights? Mean.
time an order is being prepared to re.
move all the troops from the South, and
to send them 10 Oregon and the KiC
Grande. The reg ment which has been
stationed at Atlanta, Georgia, is al
ready en- route. And Dick Thompson
the Naval Secretary, is sti tring up the
Navy-yards and putting more men tt
work, and orders are out TO hurry W
seven war vessels and get them ready
for sea instanter. Evidently, something
is in the wind.
