troops. It is not improbable Mr.. Packard
is correct in this idea. Mr.. Kellogg had
sustained himself previously as governor
Of the state by means of United States
troops, and undoubtedly he had done so
against the rights and the wishes OF a
large majority of the voters ofthe state.
Had Packard been allowed the use OF
troops and sustained himself as nc ex-
presses it, it would have been, as in kel-
logs case. clearly against the will of the
neople and in derogation of their rights as
expressed at the ballot box Any kind of
govern ment and almost any kind Of per
son at the head of it, can be sustained not
only in Louisiana but elsewhere in any
other state, if elections caA be treated as
nulities aud the usurpation of pretender
protected by sufficient force of armed
men TO overawe resistance and sufficient to
repress all efforts of resistance to the
Tyranny of usurped place land power.
History furnishes many familiar instances
of this kind, besides what has happened in
Louisiana, but it has shown at the same
time that if the people succumbed to such
outrages they could no longer lay claim to
possession of any constitutional rights or "a
constitutional liberty. Neither of these
two things can exist where power can be
usurped and exercised with impunity and
man uusta;n themselves in official positior
by the force of bayonets without regard tC
constitutions or law. The two modes Of
existence are incompatible, they can't ex
ist 10 the same country at one and tht
same time. Mr.. Packard might therefore
as he said, have been able to sustain him
self with the aid of troops, but that fac
would not have made him by any mean
lawfully the governor of the state,

Ii is very clever on the part of the Hon.
Hiram Price to speak few words of
praise 10 favor of the member of congress
from this district Mr.. Price and Mr..
Henderson both belong to the same politi
cal party aud are mutually interested in
the electinG Of republican member to the
next house of representatives. Mr.. Price
has already been re-nominated and Mr.
Henderson undoubtedly will be. A fellow
feeling makes the Hon. Hiram wondrous
kind, and he puts 10 good word Tor his
brother republican on this side of the
river, by asserting that "he was constantly
on the alert to sustain every effort de-
signed to advance the interests of the Ar
senal" Perhaps he was, as much so as it
is in his nature to be on the alert How
much influence did his alertness bring to
bear in favor of the measure. If it had
not been for the alertness and the unusual
personal efforts made by men not republi.
cans, Of how much avail would the bril-
liant services of Mr. Henderson have
availed towards securing the Arsenal ap.
propriations-we reckon not much. Al
we said at the outset it is really very good
of Mr.. Price to say few kind words il
behalf of Henderson, and we have nc
doubt if Price needed help as much as
Henderson does that the latter would
cheeriuly reciprocate complimentary ia
