"Let us have reciprocal reconclia-

Republican, and then it asks that the
charges against Patterson, Smalls and

because Gov. Hampton requested the
President to have the or Jsecution Of
''the Ellerton rioters" dismissed
which, by-the-by, was not done.

There is an unusual, an unprecedented
show of steamships now in our port.
They have somewhat anticipated the
receipts Of the crop, but nevertheless
are rapidly securing freight, and will
have quick dispatch. Their places will
be promptly filled by other steamers
which are on their way to our port. At
present the following steamers of the
largest size are rapidly loading: The
Muriel, Hanover, the Juniata, the
City Of Brussels, the Sumatra, the
Oberon, the Memling. the Olive, the
Carolina and the CHILEAN. Several of
these ships have received already their
loads OF grain at the elevator, and 9TH

which we are gratified to observe are
rapidly increasing. They will not have
to wait long. This Is an unusual show

is an encouraging proof Of a revival Of

C0NSPIRING TO ROB THE STATE,

Senator Patterson, of South Carolina
has been indicted and warrant and
requfsition have issued for his arrest,
on the charge Of conspiring with other
carpet bag officials to defraud the State
and to bribe and corrupt legislators and
other officials.
This case suggests not q few similar
grounds upon which certain Of our own
carpet-bsg exofficials might be held to
a like liability unier the criminal law.
We have frequently in these columns
propounded the Inquiry, whether the
notorious diversion OF the public funds
and defalcations OF public officers, pro-
cured and counseled by higher officials,
does not subject the latter to some
criminal responsibility. When the de.
faulters are held to indictments, is not
something to be done with the higher
officers who were privy to, and coun-
sellers, aiders and abettors OF the
offenses Of these subordinate officials :?
Are they not In like manner with Sena-
tor Patterson subject to the charge Of
conspiracy to rob aud defraud the State I?
Thus two Of the tax collectors In this
city have been indicted, arrested and
held to bail for large defalcations. One
OF them, probably both, aver that they
were induced to divert and misapply the
public funds by the late Governor. One
Of them declares that he was a merely
nominal official, was absolutely con.
trolled Ia all actions by the Governor
and u special agent or friend Of his, and
that he never received or disbursed the
moneys Of the State paid into his Office,
and Is not responsible for their disap-
pearance. There is much other evil
dence extant to bring home to the
higher officials Of the State criminal
participation in the defaults and delin-
quencies Of their indicted subordinates,
In view Of these facts there is very
natural inquiry, whether there is not as
much rigor and power In the law of
Louisiana as in that OF South Carolina
to bring to justice those who have con-
spired to rob and defraud the State, and
ii there lie, why may it not be put in &C.
ton as against claimant to q seat in
the United States Senate as we'll as
against one who already holds seat in
that august body?
