New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-01-08

Gov. Kellogg must feel that times have
changed, indeed, when his Geographic drafts
on the President for recognition and assistance,
and the inevitable ct ceteras, usually so
promptly hOnOred, are returned protested.
President Grant declines to interfere as be-
tween the rival Governors to be inaugurated
to-day, chiefly on the ground that two Con-
gressional Committees are investigating the
whole question of the legality of the Louisiana
election, and any such action on his part
would be improper. This is a new and impOr-
tant phase in the Louisiana question, and
probably means that the Republican State
Government will be left to work out its own
supremacy-if it can. by the time Congress and
the committees have disposed of the Louisiana
election, President Grants term will be nearly
if not quite run out, and a new Administration
will have been formed, which, whether Repub-
lican or Democratic, is likely to be less liberal
with its troops than tins one has been. If
then a Republican State Government can
stand alone in Louisiana, it is now to have an
opportunity of showing that it can. That
many skilled observers of Southern affairs de-
clare that it will 90 down in a heap when the
undermining of Federal bayOnets is with
drawn does not of necessity prove that the
crash is coming but with the large majority
of the property holders paying taxes to Gov.
Nichols, and the United States troops refusing
TO do more than keep the peace for Gov.
Packard as for everybody else, the odds
would seem to be all ON one side.

thaw came according to programme, and the
thaw was afterward checked by cool, drying
wind from the west. There had been great
risk in leaving our streets filled with snow,
and if the thaw had been complete the ensl-
ing damage would have been enormous. AS
it was the sidewalks have been made barely
passable, no thanks to the city authorities !;
but the crossings and many of the side streets
are still in a horrible condition. In almost
any other city the people would think it
public disgrace.

1t seems that the only obstacle in the way OF
national museum of great value and import
ance is a building to contain the collection
The latter we have already in the shape OF
the exhibits made by no less than twenty nine
nations and States at Philadelphia, and now
presented to our Government. These exhibits
are, to be sure, only of the natural resources
of these countries, and not OF the industries
and manufactures of their peoples, but they
range through every possible variety of eli
mate and soil, and in the aggregate form
collection whose worth it would be difficult to
overstate The suggestion is made from Wash
ington that President Grants recommendation
for removing the Government exhibit from
Philadelphia to Washington could be carried
into effect in connection with this scheme, and
the native and aggregate foreign exhibits thus
placed together in one great collection. While
this is a poor time to urge projects not OF
strict necessity, there can be no question as to
the wisdom of making sure of this rich store
of knowledge by adequate provision for its re-
ception. Parsimony here would be the worst
of waste.

public disgrace.
In Mexico, Diaz and his supporters are gain
ing ground, Iglesas, the other claimant, being
deserted by the greater part of his adherents.
He has $4,000 men at Silva, about 100 miles
from the capital, but his speedy overthrow
seems inevitable. Gen. Mendez, acting Dictator.
has ordered the election ola President, Chief-Jus-
tice, and new Congress. He has, however, taken
care to exclude as candidates or electors Gen.
Meiia, ex-Chief-J Justice Iglcsias, and members
of the Lerdo and Juarez Government. This
wholesale prescription will, of course, enable
the Diaz party to have everything their own
way, rendering the election mere formality.
For the good repute of the people in general
it is to be hoped that the various Democratic
mass meetings to be held throughout the cOun-
try to-day will not indulge in too much foolish
clatter. Republicans could ask no greater help
toward partisan advantage than an Outburst
of threatenings and slaughter from these gath
erings, but such demonstration would be
dscreditable to the country as well as to the
party making it. The American people have
made an admirable record thus far by the
soberness and sense with which they have
borne themselves in a trying time. and now
that the gentlemen who meet in convention
to-day have stood it so long without explOd-
ing, let them try to hold thems elves together
Just tile while longer

peopls there will be more anxious than

unite our efforts with theirs IN an at

would be virtually putting money into

if they will but put forth al effort in
that direction. they will find the people
Of Yakima ready TO join hands with
them in the undertaking.
