The conviction of Anderson at New Or
leans has stirred up the Administration and
his fellew-c binet officers 20 red heat, whew
1 golly, but they are the worst stirred up set
of men ever known in this community. The
meeting of Greek vs. Greek was nothing TO
| compare to the bile of wrath they are vomit-
ting just now. Well weary lies the head that
wears the crown A., and these bright and shin
ing lights of the party Of great moral ~ ideas
are so afraid of their own indictment and con-
viction in the Criminal Courts, that we are not
surprised al their ,virtuous ~ indignation in
behalf OF "brotber Anderson" To quiet a
| disputed title by tho hocuS-pOcus of an Elec-
toral Fraud begets that the recipients thereof
should keep themselves quiet, and i. John
| Sherman, ct a. wants fight he can be accom-
modated with war to the knife by the exposure
of facts which we have in our possession that
would blacken their souls with the most foul
acts of viIlany ever perpetrated through and
under the color (only) of law. If Mr.. Hayes
| is reported correctly by his friends when they
| inform us that he deems the conviction of
Anderson a violation Of the pledges made last
| spring, then he stands selfconvicted OF q lie,
because he distinctly said there was no bar
gain and sale in the recognition of the Nichols
government in Louisiana. The threats of Jno.
Sherman, Ell al, 10 play the devil generally
for the so-called outrage on Anderson shall
remind the fee-nance-er, that people who live
in glass houses should not throw stones. His
violent language is not apt to stay proceed
ings against his brothers In crime as the peo-
pie of Louisiana don't care worth cent.
hot cabinet meeting took place at the
White House. upon the above subjects, where
at old JohE Sherman put on his war paint,
and with scalping knife in one hand and
tommy-hawk in the other, proposed TO the
cabinet that U. S. troops be Immediately sent
down to New Orleans 10 take Anderson out
OF Jail and from the State authorities. Old
canal navigator, Dick Thompson, of the YAH
bosh, joined Sherman, Schurz and McCrary in
favor of bold and immediate action, but Mr.
Hayes in his usual quiet mauper, threw cold
water on their blood thirsty appetite, by in
forming them he did not see how anything
could be done legally. This again aroused
Sherman to the depth Of anger, when he very
excitedly told Mr.. Hayes il was no time to
stand on law quibbles. Mr.. Key here inter-
posed, and in a very quiet yet determined
manner Informed Sherman that it WAS a mat
ter entirely for the State Courts, and that all
wrongs could be remedied without any resort
TO unlawful means by the Administration.
Mr. Hayes here again interposed by repeat
ing that he didu't see how anything could be
done through the U. S. Courts, at which
general fare up took place. teeth gn,shed
with anger, hair assumed the uprightness Of
the quilts upon the fretted porcnpine, eyeballs
glarsd lightning wrath, the furoFe seemed at
its height, whereupon Mr.. Hayes told the in
furiated cabinet TO 60 TO their different homes
ard cool off, dispensing the session to prevent
its breaking up in row Such be the char
acter of our rulers. 0, Temporal, o. mOresi
Our radical papers here are denying the sub
stance of the above willis, they are compelled
to admit that some iMe difference of opinion
took place. But we are not taking much
stock in their deniais, as the Louisiana conun-
drum, contained in Mr. Hayes letter to the
Attorney General asking him what the admin
istration can do about the conviction of An
derson, has not yet been answered, the Attor
ney General so far being unable TO discover
the correct answer thereto. We shall watch
the episode very closely, and give you its ter
mination in our next.
