A force bill, with U. s. Supervisors and Fed
erai troops at the polls on election day, is what
the people of the South. particularly of Louisi-
ana, now deserve and probably will set, if the
Republican party resumes full control of the
national government after the November cleo
ing dissension in the ranks of the Democratic
party, superinduced by irreconcIable differ
ence OF opinion the financial and other
politico- economic questions TEE Democratic
party received once to its great cost and that
of the country, positive proof Of the verify of
the maxim, that "a house divided against it
self cannot stand,p from the withering and
blghting effects OF which suicidal folly, the
country has not yet fully recovered; yet it
seems, that totally oblivious of such an ex-
pensive lesson, it is making all necessary prep
arations to commit political hari kari again.
