"Violated Pledges"

The following resolution was, it is
said, adopted by the leaders of the
Louisiana Democracy while the recog-
milton of Gov. Nichols was yet unde-
cided:
DESTROYS Of healing the dissensions
which have disturbed the State for years
past, anxious that the crimes of all politi
cal parties may I've free from the feyerisi
anxieties of political strife, and Join hands
in honestly restoring the prosperity OF
Louisiana, the Nichols government will
disconntenance any attempt at persecu.
tion, from any quarter, of indiviGulls fol
past political conduct"
The Republican organs claim that
the letter and spirit of this resolution
is violated By the legal proceedings
now ia progress against the memhera
of the Returning Board, and that the
Administration is therefore boand to
repudiate it's Southern policy, and, as
ras possible, set aside the results
thereof. Admitting that such pledge
was given, and that the persons who
gave it were duly authorized, how it ia
violated by the arrest and trial OF
Wells, Anderson, Casanave and Ken
nerf Is the prosecution Of alleged
criminals "persecution'" Then every
burglar or horse thief is "persecuted"
when the sheriff seizes him, the jury
convicts him, the judge sentences him
and the penitentiary takes him. Do
the crimes with which these men are
charged come under the head of "po-
litical conduct Z" Then forgery and
perjury must hencefnrth be classed
among the legitimate accompaniment
of palitics. Then il Wells, Anderson,
Casanave aud Kenner had com bined to
rob the State treasury of million dol
lars they might have boasted of the
robbery, Haunted their plumber in the
lace of honest people, and defisd all
attempts to bring them to the bar OF
justice because the crime was only
"political conduct" The members of
the Returning Board are not prosecu-
ted or account of their politics hut on
account of their offences against the
laws-bccause they are rascals, not be-
cause they are Republicans. The au-
thorities of Louisiana have broken no
pledges. They are doing only what
their official oaths, as guardians and
executors of the laws, compel them to
do. II they permitted these criminals
to go unpunished they might with
equal propriety permit all criminals to
go unpnnished. And if Mr.. Hayes and
his colleagues in the government in
'erfere in ti,i, matter they will simply
make themselves the partners of those
who now seem in fair way to suffer
the righteous consequences Of their
misde ads. - St. Louis Republican.

The House of Savoy.

Brave, dissolute, interruptions, yet
with some statesmanlike insight and
extraordinary tenacity, the line from
Hnmbert II. Q07s,) down to Victor
Emmanuel, through eight hundred
years Of varied fortune. might ALWAYS
have been accurately described as the
soldier dynasty Of the Alps, with all
the vices and many of the virtues the
world attributes to the soldier and the
hungry mountaineer. The greatest
man of the House till Victor EInmanu-
ell appeared. the wonderful General
whom our fathers 40 much admired,
and who, by the side of Marlborough,
upheld thr"usb long career of victo-
~ the cause of Europe against Louis
XIV. and who signed himself habitu-
ally "Eugenio von Sayove," because
he was as much Italian as German,
and as much Frencllman as either.
appears in his memoirs, under all his
court varnish and all his lnagnanimity.
a thorough Savoyard, dnrius, ambi !:
tious, dissolute, luxurious, aud persist
ent as a river. In Victor Emmanuel
this last quality, always SO perceptible
in his house, took shape that made
the fortune alike Of his dynasty aud of
Italy. When, ate, the dark day of
Novara, he assembled the throne, his
subjects expected in the sullenly brave
young Prince so deeply connected with
the Austrian house, an Italian Haps-
burg. a thorough resctionary, and in
part they were not deceived. No man
had more of the feeling of King ,hip or
the pride of birth than Victor Emman-
mel, and no man more confidence in
his own right to rule. He compelled
his Parliament to sign the peace which
saved Piedmont; he quarreled in the
very crisis Of his fate with Cavour,
because the great Minister made re-
mark which the King considered de-
rogatory to bis house; he refused the
throne of the Peninsula, if he were to
be called "King of the Italians )" and
he would often aver to the last that it
was "hard work to guide his political
team" He was, in fact, by tempera-
ment King of the old type, but he
had acquired, either from some teach
ing of his father, or the circumstances
of his own history, an absolute convic-
ton that to carry his fathers policy to
success, and rear the throne his father
had designed, he must be constitu-
tioual King, and from that resolve he
never swerved. HIS Austrian relatives
implored and threatened him to give
up the Statute; the priests, whom lie,
as iiasolute and superstitious man,
greatly feared, menaced him with
every spiritual suffering, his closest
female kinsfolk declared the incessant
deaths in his house Judgment from
Heaven, but the proud, hot-temperod,
ball-lfeaded soldier never swerved
from the word he had given. He
would keep the Constitution as his
father had sworn. and maintain his
fathers cause, and all Italy in one
twelve month recognized that he was
faithful, and fell at the feet of the only
Italian Prince who could he trusted.
Before lie had won Province every
Italian city used periodically to be
placarded with "Viva Verdi" the
name of the composer containing the
initials of "Vittorio E,nanuele, Re
d'Italis," and in every advance his
troops had behind them the army of
the people.-[The Spectator.

THE New York Herald says it is
preposterons tor Hayes to charge that
the people of Louisiana have violated
contract with him. since lie had said
a hundred times that his Southern pol
icy WAS adopted because it was Fright
and was certainly 10 accordance with
his letter of acceptance. 1t also scouts
the idea that the violations of the Lou
isiana legislature were pledge to con.
done crimes in violation Of the laws Of
the State. 1t spys "a bargain by
which the parties engage to compound
felony would be bargain which the
officers of the law ought to disregard,
even if the President of the United
States were one party and tho legisla-
tnre of the State the other. It would
i'll became the President to say that
he was a party or an accomplice in a
bargain for chelning fraud and forge
~, and to ask the Attorney General
to tell him how such bargain can be
enforced. If Anderson ADD Wells did
forge or fslsify election returns it is
the clearest dictate of Justice that they
ought to be punished. Tho only per.
tiuent question is whether they are
guilty o, innocent. If they are guilty
it would be disgraceful tor tho Presi-

plea that they committed these crimes

Mr.. lorgenson, of Virginia, is one of the
very few Republican members Of Congress
from the South He seems to be person of
wild and untrammeled imagination, a faith
full believer in the strength and power Of the
Republican party in the South. He has
Just prepared table OF the Congressional
districts in the South which he thinks the
Republicans can carry and handed this
over to the Republican National Congress
sional Committee to work on. Mr.. Jorgen-
sons idea of what are Republican districts is
based apparently on the idea that the election
Of 1876 was not fair election, and that to find
the true politics of any Congressional dis
triet you must go back to the election of
1874: why he should have chosen 1874 as the
sample year Of Republican strength in the
South instead of going back to 1868 when he
could have found several score of Republican
congressman from the South it is difficult to
say.
Selecting however 1874 as his sample year
Mr. Jorgenson finds that tho Republicans are
entitled to no less than thirteen representa-
tives from the South, The whole South Caro-
lima delegation ought, he declares, to be Re
publican and three Louisiana districts
Third. Fifth and Sixth Districts ought
TO send carpet-baggers to Washington
The Sixth District sent MIR. Robertson to Con
gress last November by over 5000 majority
it is difficult to see exactly how Mr.. G. Jor-
genson expects to get over this majority but
his brilliant imagination may, perhaps en-
able him to do SO.
Jorgenson also suggests a plan that has
already been proposed by the New York 1fi-
b,tne, This is t. send two or three leading
Northern Radicals into each Of these thirteen
districts that are to be contested to make ultra
Radical speeches. Ifthese speeches are calmly
listened to, 1t Is thought they will precipitate
race conflicts Of some kind that will be good
