large communities and many States to dis
tress and to the verge OF despair. great
humanitarian and merciiul Judge, indeed,
is this Mr.. SHERMAN.
About the Louisiana proceedings we
know very little. We know this, that no
other State has been so troubled with
scoundrelly carpet-baggers and wholly un-
I ssscrupuIous Radicals. The ring that for SO
long a time ruled public affairs-hav1ns
New orleans as their observation-disclosures
composed Of the very worst OF men. KEEL
LoGG. WARMoTH, WELLS, PINcHBAcK, AN
DERsoN, and their consederates, were an
: raseals O, the worst character. Public
nninion OF them could not be affected by
e either their conviction or acquittal OF any
= crime that might be alleged against them
1t is unfortunate for the public fame OF Tue
a nation that any gentlemen OF reputation
should ayow sympathy with any OF these
wretches; and Messrs. SHERMAN, NAT NAT
: rHEws, GARFIELD, HALE, and WHITE, would
be less injured in their representative char-
acter by the publication Of bond entered
into by them to pay gambling debt than
/ they can be by having their names attached
to d letter OF sympathy to ANDERSON. 81
We have no idea that Iouisianaiis going
to rush into any violent indiscretion about
:, the political scoundrels who have Yexed her lei
people beyond all precedent. But still she
p is State, and il she is equal to other States
! she certainly has the right to her independ-
emit courts, with their lawful processes
and judgments. 1t is absurd to seek anew
Z to array the sectional animosities OF the
4 country against the South because the Lou
isiana courts have dared to try causes that
are brought before them. Certainly the
policy OF the President-so Just, so far, SO
Constitutional afford not the slightest
encouragement to such passion and preju-
{ dice as the Secretary OF the Treasury dis
plays: ~. Z $50,
: we have no doubt that Louisiana is so
glad to get rid of the impudent and out
rageous carpet-bagger that shewouid far
rather. have nothing more to do with him
than to arraign .himin her courts. But 1t
is matter for Louisiana to decide. She
must enforce her own laws by the proper
tribunals. =
.saWe have no idea that. Louisiana wants to
imprison, or punish ANDERSON. Neverthe-
less, If she should do SO, who has any right
to interfere with the exercise OF her au-
!, tbority and what reason would her act
|! afford for declaring that the conciliatory
policy OF the Administration was brought
into contempt, and for raising another bit
ter crusade against the States OF the South
