The placid condition that Louisiana
was fast assuming under Nicholls was a
great tribulation TO Grant, and the idea
that her own people should govern her
IN peace, not TO be tolerated. When
Governor Nichols was inaugurated in
that State, and the people fockea to
his support when the Packard govern
ment trembled in the State House
with all the guilty fear of defeated con
spirators, and not a man lifted his
voice In their defence; in short, when
the people of Louisiana exercised their
inherent right of revolution. and swept
away the Republican government. sim
ply with one breath of their honest in
dignation, without firing a shot or strik.
ing blow-then President Grant stood
aioof. Doubtless the conviction that
this was an uprising of the people for
rights overpewered even his
itching desire to declare for the govern
ment OF the carpet-hsggeis and thieves.
But he was not allowed to remain long
in that mind. He has now issued an
order, which he VOWS to the Washing
ton correspondents does not recognize
either government. But in it he saws,
should necessity arise Tor the recog-
milton of either, it must be Mr. Pack

public functionary saying If award

bidder, bat to so-and-soi" President
Grants non-interference is about as i'm
partial as the non-interferenee of man
whe watches fight merely waits for
his best time to shoot The truth un-
doubtedly is that his PROCLAMATION in
behalf OF Packard was put out to help
Hayes. The moral effect of the de-
cision of the court IN Florida, giving the
State government to the Democrats,
has been tremendous in convincing
thousands oil fair-minded Republicans
that the electoral vote of the State
rightfuily belonged to Governor Tildcn;
and the peaceful and resistless reyolu-
ton in Louisiana had the same result.
1t was necessary to stop it as speedily as
possible. This is the secret of the letter
to General Augur. 1t is desperate
device of the Republican eonspirators
in behalf of the Republican Pfetender.

The Louis Republican, in referring to
the prospect for the speedy completion
of the Texas and Pacific road and the
St Louis connections Herewith. saws
1T is quite certain that Thos. Allen
president OF the st. Louis, Iron Noun,
tain and Southern railway, would most
heartily cooperate with the merchants
and manufacturers of ST. LouIs in any
steps that seemed likely to aid st. Louis
in acquiring and retaining fair proper
ton of the trade which is likely To be
developed along this admirable route,
Thos. Allen has, by resolutely pushing
his railway line to Texas brought to st.
Louis her present valuable cotton trade,
and in order to bring that cotton to st,
Louis he has been compelled to carry a
very large proportion of it too low to be
remunerative. OF course, the compile
ton of this magnificent thoroughfare
through to San Diego will bring aug.
mented business to the St Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railway, and
Mr.. Allen may, perhaps, begin to realize
the earnings which his road so richly
d serves.
But st. Louis must aid Mr.. Allen,
Her merchants must evince a warm de
sire to do all they can to draw trade
from this new region to st. Louis and
depend upon it, they will succeed to a
degree which will be both surprising and
gratifying.
In its progress through Texas and,
New Mexico this railway line will tray-
erse some OF the richest cotton growing
country of the world; it will also trav-
erse the vast plains where unlimited
cattle and sheep may be raised, and
where millions upon millions of excel
lent wheat will eventually be grown.
Emigration to this country, the moment
the railway bill becomes q law, will in.
crease wonderfully, and st. Louis ought
to prepare to control. assist, supply and
IN many ways utilize this tide of emi-
grants. In short, if st. Louis manages
her cards well. she will make large
sums of money out of the building of
this railway; but If her past actions are
to be the measure of her future ones,
then Chicago will take the lions share
Of all the good that results from this
new railway.
The best card for Mr.. Allen to play
Is to build the road from Texarkana to
Dallas, and thus reach out and gather
into his grasp, and pour inlo the lap Of
st. Louis the trade Of North Texas. This
route Is the best line in Texas. and the
country through which il would run, is
'ne OF the richest and most prosperous
N the State. There's millions in it. il
Allen and St Louis but realize the fact.

In q test vote upon, q preliminary mo-

the bill to remonetize silver, the Senate
stood 40 to Is, in favor Of thsbill. : This
shows the great preponderance Of the
country to be on the side.of the; dollar of
our fathers, and indicates that the Senate
will pass the bill even, if necessary, over
an executive veto. There is no reason
why the public debt should be paid in "a
coin dearer than the one with reference
to which it was created. 1t looks now as
if Congress intends giving the people 8
little consideration while they are adjust

ver dollar is now a legal tender, but as
this denomination is not coined. men
cannot obtain it to pay debts with, and
hence it's legal tender is, to use trite

Judge Mackey is reported as saying
that Senators Gordon and Lamar express
the opinion that further proceedings
against Patterson should now be edropped.
For what,reason we would like to be in
formed. Certainly the fact that hevoted
for Buffers admission to the Senate is no
reason to excuse him for his past crimes.
In voting to admit Gen. Butler he only
did his duty, and no man can discount
one good deed against, perhaps, thou
sand bad ones, and especially when the
good deed, is performed with. the fear Of
speedy punishment before his eyes, as in
Patterson's case. It would be disgraceful
in the extreme to allow Patterson to- es-
cape even a prosecution, and if Senators
Gordon and Lamar have so far forgotten
the proprieties of their position as to give
their unsought advice upon the Patterson
question, it is time to hint to them that
they are not charged with censorship
over the criminal courts of South Car
n1ina
