The events in Louisiana, by and through
which the present Administration holds the
rcins of power, thus far presents to the
world an instance Of indifference, if not of
ingratitudc, rarely known to the history Of
mankind. 1t was through the action OF
the returning board OF Louisiana that Presi-
dent HAYES was assured in his election
For their action in that case the members of
that board are now suffering a degree of
political persecution scarcely paraleled in
the annals OF civilization and never before
known to the just laws and liberal institu-
tions of republican form Of government.
The returning board of Louisiana laid the
Presidential title upon the shoulders of
General HAYES, who is now in the enjoy
ment Of all the prerogatiyes benefits, and
honors of that exalted position. For that
service the returning board are now being
pursued by the hand of vengeance that
will not sleep until each and all are con-
signed TO infamy la a felOn's cell One has
already bean convicted, and others are in
generated in prison awaiting trial Not

Federal power shall be interposed in some
shape to avert their doom. Now, unless

The contest Of words, argument, satire,
and sarcasm in the United States Senate
over the silver bill is very peculiar, and not
without interest and instruction. 1t is as
far removed from party ties and relations as
is possible. Republicans and Democrats
stand side by side for and against the meas
ure fact which divests the contest of oil
political party significance Neither has 1t
put on as yet. a strict geographical charac-
ter, for the supporters Of silver coinage
are found East, West, North and South.
The cities of Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, and Baltimore are arrayed almost
solid against silver reconciliation. Boston
controls to great degree the sentiment OF
New England, while the city of New York,
the great commercial mart OF this continent,
extends the arms OF sinauence more widely
over the country than any OF its sister cities.
Philadelphia tints the monetary opinions Of
the people of Pennsylvania, while Baltimore
controls the State OF Maryland, and sends
an influence through its commercial rcla-
tiOns to the Atlantic cities of the South.
These are the most formidable anti-silyer
points in the country, and they will WELD
all the power at their command to defeat n
measure which must inevitably dethrone
gold and relieve the country Of its CON
trolling power of appreciation and deprecia-
ton in values, through which much mis-
chief has been done to all other interests in
the country, except those which centre d.
rectly in the circles OF wealth and concen-
trated capital.
A survey Of this battlefield brings to
view some peculiar features in the war OF
words that is being waged over the question
which is among the most important that
will engage tho attention OF Congress
in this session, and define the individual at
titudes of those who take part in the con
troyersy. 1t was supposed that New Eng
land would stand as solid and firm as
Plymouth Rock on the side OF gold and
against silver reconciliation. This expecta'
ton has been disappointed. New England
has broken ranks on the question. Maine
has been represented by Senator BLAINE in
a speech which is remarkable for its vigol
and power of language, but which, with
genuine Yankee cunning, proposes to spill
the difference rather than forfeit a trade
No statesman has a. yet defended the broat
principle of silver reconciliation with NOR
power and skill than Senator BLAINE, Thi
was not looked for from any portion of New
England. That section Of the Union wa
regarded as inseparabiy Joined to the golc
idol and hence the measufs of sur

THE New York Ercaing Express, the lead
fng Democratic organ in that city and State,
is whispering vile scandals as to the purity
Of motive and uprightness of purpose OF the
great and good SAMUEL J. TILDEN relating
70 the gigantic enterprise of introducing
elevated railways into that metropolis. II
says: The demand for rapid transit was so
great, and the oagerness Of our citizens to
get relief from slow, crowded, and filthy
horse cars was so extreme that they did not
stop to scrutinize measures as they were
presented and bills on their passage into
laws. Now it comes out that the legislation
which it was thought was secured in the in
terest of this city was very largely inspired
by the nephew of his uncle and it GER
tainly looks as though it was secured fol
the pockets of few thrifty individuals
high in authority and influence, rather than
for the benefit of the people. The story Of
Governor TILDEN's connection with the
rapid transit legislation and his interest, di.
rect and indirect, in the New York Elevated
Railroad, remains to be told 1t is part o
the secret history of the jobbery of oul

won when the principle ofsilvsr dollar coin
age Is established q ! legal cnrrcncy.in the

the quantity of silver each dollar is to con-
tain, and whenlit receives the supencription
Of the Governments whether II contains
Ala or 425 grains Of pure silver, it viii be-
come the legal dollar Of the country, and
then sll controversy over the matter viii
cease. One argument Of the opponents Of
the silver measure is q little peculiar
and not altogether consistent when consid-
cred in it's length and breadth. They con-
tend that silver as money is unwieldy and
inconyenient on account Of its bulk, and
yet II they are to have il, they insist upon
having 12l grains Of silver added to the
original proposition. This looks little in
consistent, but, after all, it is only an
idiosyncracy, which, perhaps. we ought to
tolerate for peace sake.
The State of Connecticut, which Is sand
wiched between Massachusetts, and Now
York, derives all its opinions from those
boundary relations, and hence Is in duty
| bound 10 think and act rs do the leading
spirits in Boston and New York on all ques-
| tons Of monetary interest. For this reason
we regard the attitude and utterances of
Senator EATON on this subject perfectly
consistent with relation and duty. He has
faithfully, no doubt, represented the senti-
ment of the people Of his State, and for that,
though his attitude may DO regretted,
his fealty to his State is TO be commended.
His abilities should have been arrayed on
the other side, when we consider abstract
ly the merits Of the question but then he
had received his position from his State,
and he is in duty bound to represent faith
he understands them. With this no rea-
sonable fault can be found.
Massachusetts, is opposed to the silver
measure, and hence its Senators must echo
