The Outlook Of the Period.

Our latest and best information from
Louisiana is that ANDERSON's fate only
ioreshadows that of his colleagues on the
returning board. They are all fGredoomed
to conviction and incarceration, and neither
will at present, if ever, enjoy any immunity
through the clcmrmCy of NICHOLS Re-
vcngc is the object of these proceedings,
and nothing will be permitted to interfere
with its full enjoyment by the prosecutors
Of these men. No pardon will interpose to
save ANDERSON from the fullest measure of
punishment allotted to him by the court
that enacted the mockery of u trial. If he
is guilty as pronounced by the tribunal
that adiudged his case, then there is no
good ground for a pardon. He should be
punished. If he is innocent, and his trial
has been mockery of justice; if he has
been unfairly tried and uniustly judged,
and is suffering great wrong, us is
generally believed at the North, an
immediate pardon by NICHOLS
would be regarded AS tacit admission of
the wrong by the appointing power, and
hence such result is not likely to follow.
at their mercy, and they propose to make
the most of the situation.
Inasmuch as the Administration looks on
in passivencss and witnesses these proceed
ings without protest or dissent, NICHOLS
regards it as an evidence of indifference to
the subject or n substantial admission on
the part Of the President that the proceed
ings and result of the trial of ANDERSON
are iust-and hence he will not soon move
in the direction of releasing him from the
punishment inflicted. And why should he
so long as Preridcnt HAYES remains in
different to the case and does not call a
halt? If the President does not care for
these men who are suffering severe perse-
cution for acts that elevated him TO the
Presidency, why should NICHOLS, who
stepped into power through door opened
by the action of the President, and when he
was not elected if Mr.. HAYES was, move to
relax the rigors of punishment? The pub
lie certainly cannot understand why NICH-
Oils should tacitly admit wrong on the
part of the tribunal of his State, so long as
the President regards the case with marked
indifference and is silent on the subject
This is test case under the policy of con-
ciliatiOn, and is made so by NICHOLS and
his friends for the purpose of putting to the
proof the temper Of the President at the
present time. If they find him passive and
Indifferent, then they will take another az
gressive step in advance of their present
position, and thus by gradual approaches
they will ignore all understanding and all
obligation toward the Administration, and
proceed with the work Of prescription and
persecution to the end OF the chapter
Surprise has been expressed by
, those who are believed to be cOgnizant oil
an arrangement under which NICHOLS
was to accede to power, and then immunity
t was to be extended to all concerned in the
New Orleans muddle-at the persecution
t and punishment of the returning board
. and that is all. If such an arrangement
was made antecedent to the declaration OF
Mr.. HAYBs' election rs President, and the

recognition OF NICHOLS a. Governor, why
are the plain facts connected with that
transaction concealed from the people Of
the country? Why are they not revealed,
that they may be judged upon their merits?
And, on the other hand, If there was no
bargain, arrangement, or understanding be-
tween statesmen Of the North and South on
this subject, and the whole affair is myth,
why is the public held in suspense by with
holding full, fat, and plain dcnial-and
why should the statesmen who tele-
graphed sympathy to ANDERSON
express surprise at these proceed
ings? There certainly is not, in view of all
precedent, anything surprising in these per
seeutions of a Republican returning board,
for they are mild compared with the atrocities
that have preceded them in that section Of
the country. If the Democrats were traded
with, here or elsewhere, on this subject, the
results are the same rs have followed

THE Newark Duly 1drertiscr in referring
TO the result of the silver struggle says:
The silver party was organized, capable,
active, fully up to its work, and yet if it
used corrupt means we do not know when
or where. On the other side, the President
needed first of all party, lie had not the
shadow OF a party. In the Senate his own

voted to override the veto 1t was us incon-
sequcntial and resultless as any paper ever

THE New York Graphic sounds the note
Of returning confidence, and revival of
business in this wise " The days of shrink
uge are over Ii is safe now to purchase
staple goods or property Of any kind, ms
there is certainty that the market from
this time forth, with slight exceptions, will
be rising one. Those who take advantage
Of present prices are certain to reap a rich
reward in the not distant future. DO not
buy trash, nor is it wise, as yet, to invest in
real estate. Real estate is the last kind of
fixed property to go down in value and it is
also the last to feel the effects of a rising
market. There is little prospect, therefore,
that land will DE much effected for tho next
year or two But we say to all who have
money: Buy! Invest! Employ labor! The
market hereafter is to be rising one Truc,
there will be bank failures, and heavy ones
true, great corporations have yet to go into
liquidation true, thousands of business
men, crippled by the hideously stupid fnan-
cial policy we have been pursuing, will not
be able to avert their downfall, even with
the aid of silver; but for those who are not
crippled, who have money in hand, whose
credit is unimpaired, this is the time to lay
the foundation Of future fortune"

AT last there seems to he peace in Cuba.
Elsewhere will be found, in detail, the
terms upon which the peace was concluded
II is not the peace for which the Rcpubli-
cans fought, but it is long step upon the
road toward self-governmcnt or representa-
tive government. They have not fought in
vain. The Cubans deserve our warmcst
sympathies, and they have so demeaned
themselves during their decade of war for
freedom as to command the respect and adj
miratiOn of every free people. The terms
that have been granted them show that
they have even won the confidence and re-
.Jpect of the Spanish authorities, including
we administration ofthe young King. Let
us hope that this confidence may grow and
expand until it authorizes free trade be-
tween that island and the United States.
