The democrats Of Louisiana have shown
By their election of United States Senator
that they have no objection to a carpet
bigger providing he is a democrat. Judge
Spofford whom they have jus, elected Sem
aor is a native of Connecticut, though
for some years resident of Louisiana.
Being a democrat. however, rubs out his
crpet-baggism in the eyes of the White
Leaguers.

The European War.

The long threatened war in Europe has
actually begun. The movement of the
Russian troops across the Prulh is the
initiation Of bloody struggle, which be-
fore it closes may involve the greater part
of Europe.
The two immediate contestants, Russia
and Turkey. have been long and energet-
ically preparing for war. They take the
field with large and well equipped armies,
after the most mature deliberation and
against the efforts of the remainder OF
Europe to preserve the peace. The fight
ing viii be desperate. Both Russians and
Turks are under the influence OF relig-
ious fanaticism which will stimulate them
to fight to the death. Left to themselves.
there can be little doubt that the Turks
would be obliged to succumb to their pow
erful antagonist, but will the other Euro
pean potentates consent to the farther in
crease Of the colossal power of Russia
and the jeopardiDg of their own interests
through the humbling and despolation OF
Turkey by the victorious CzarP This is a
question which only the course of events
can answer. AT present the policy APP
pears TO be to leave the Turks aud Rus
slams to have the war all to themselves.
But few weeks or months may show a
different state of things. Other nations
will not remain inactive when their own
possessions or interests are endangered.
II is generally predicted that the war
will be of short duration. 1t is said that
modern wars are so destructive of life
that they must necessarily be short. There
is some force in this fact aud yet the Cri-
mean war, which at its beginning it was
reckoned would close in few weeks was
extended through two years while the late
war in this country. which 1t was prophe-
sled would be wound Up in ninety days
after the first cannon shot, was only closed
after four years of continuous and desper-
ate fighting. 1t may take years to finish
the war now begun. Railroads and de-
structive implements and enginery Of war
hasten the bloody work, but even with
these time is required to exhaust the war
like energies of nations and bring around
peace.
The attitude Of our government will be
that of neutrality. The sympathy of our
people is quite naturally with Russia
The Car extended sympathy to our gov.
ernment in its struggle for existence
against the rebellion. We remember it
Over the unfriendly British government
the Russians have often and always
reached out friendly hand to America,
even from the early days of our govern
ment. We do not forget this. And Rus
sa in the present war is the champion OF
the Christian religion, the defender of the
rights of people trodden down under
the heel of fanatical despotism. Occu-
pying such an attitude as this in the fight
she appeals with peculiar force to the
American people, not only through relig-
ious associations but because of our expe-
rence as nation 10 conflict with despo-
,ism foreign and domestic.

The decision of the New Hampshire
Supreme Court, that the Governor and
Council have no power to 90 behind the
returns OF elections, assures Mr.. Jones OF
his seat in Congress and settles question
which has often occasioned complications
in the political affairs of that State. The
decision is condemnatory of the demo
cratic precedent in the case of Gen. Head
which has been quoted as justifying the
exclusion of Mr.. Jones, and places the
conduct of Governor Weston and his ad-
visers In the true light.
