The recentattempt to pervert tho popular will in Louisi? ana muy well excite the grabest appre hension?. There would, indeed, be little ground of hope for the perpetui? ty of our free institutions, if such, usurpations were met with public I apathy. Happily, however, it has pro? duced the coutrary effect, aud patriot? ism finds encouragement in the almost universal sentiment of condemnation this grave wtong has evoked. The ch'ioge in public seotimeut, indicated ! by the recent elections, also leads us to look for ao early reformation of the policy and practice of the Federal Go? vernment towards the Southern States. If tbe policy of irritation should be abandoned and the people be left to themselves, tbe two races would soon ettablisb social and uQeinesa relations with eaoh other, as U eir own peace, happiuess aud true interest require; in other words, our people only ask that they be secured in the great right of local self-government as it once existed in all tbe States of the Uuiou, but which is now enjoyed alone by the peo? ple of tbe Northern States. If the Government will but give as home rule, a reveuue tariff, uu honest end economical admiuiatration, and sound circulating uiediutn, we shall not have long to-wait for tbe retoru cf peaoe and prosperity to all parts of tbe country aud among all classes of peo? ple.

Komper on tbe Louisiana outrage, says: "Nothing so atrocious bus been said or suggested, and nothiug like it ever done since tbe masaacro of the Huguenots and the subjugation of "the fair land of Poland" and the slaughter of her children. I have sus? tained the President, as you kuow, in bis early proceediug in Louisiana? sustaining the Kellogg government, because I believe the iaw authorised them, and honestly believed be wished to do right; and I will not believe he has uutborized or will sanction these proceedings, or lend a willing eur to this bowl of his butcher dog for the blood of Southern men; but if he does, he ought to be immediately im? peached and expelled from office, aud tbe infamous Phil, arrested aud sent to look after *Oapt. Jack.' " There are a great many persons in the South who charitably hoped that Grant would be a good boy; but tbe man pans out bHdly, of lute. If General Sheridan states the case accurately, they have made a revolu? tion 00 account of some extravagant language of the Southern people. Some one threatened to kill the Rtrli cal members of the Legislature, uud, therefore, a State in nuder foot. f New York Herald. Uttorly superfluous in Butler to pro? pose a law to "guarantee a Republican form of government to Louisiana." Isn't Sheridan down there?and what's a Republican form of government compared to such an advantage? [New York Herald. If Grant would' drive all the white men of Louisiana in Mexioo, and then let Sheridan wait till he caught all the women and children in a small-pox hospital, hanged if be didn't clean out things down there so qoiok it would make your heed swim. Notwithstanding, the awful fate that overtook that great comio paper, tbe New York Republic, there are other Republican papers that persist in say? ing funny things. One of the*e papers tells us, without ooceoraokinga smile, "Sheridan is very free from sectional prejudice. He feola no antagonism to the Sontb. He laid that aside when tbe war ended. He is not so arbitrary man. He respects an honest differ? ence of opinion, and regards any one more highly, whatever the relations in whiob they stand, who stands by his own opinions and expresses them frankly and manfully." The Governor of Tennessee thanka Providence that the Legislature of thut State is permitted to "organize puaoeebly." Old Bill Allen, Governor of Ohio, suys if there are any laws on the statute book authorizing President Grant to interfere with States aa he has done, they shonld be repealed; and if there are not such laws, that Grant himself shonld be repealed! The Indianapolis Sentinel, referring to Sheridan's despatches, says: "Should tbe Indiana Legislature be broken up by United States bayonets next Thursday, it is very likely that our people woold display a spirit of defiance." And so would tho citizens of any other free State. But are the people of Louisiana free? Let the citizens of any Northern State answer. The Southern oarpet-baggers und the desperate Northern Southern out? rage-seekers proolaim the Louisiana troubles only the continuation of the "slave-holders' rebellion." Honest people, however, who soe the name of William Collen Bryant at the head of a lifct of the most respectable men of New York, calling a meeting to pro? test against the violent and unlawful interference of the Federal power in the affair* of the State, will find it bard to believe that "slavery" or "re? bellion" has anything to do with the matter. The papers of the North, of all po? litical complexions, aro talking very good States rights dootriue just now, and many of them are just beginning to find out that the grand contest of tho day is between constitutionalism and centralism.

Toe Boston Journal, a prononuoed Republican paper, remarks: "Iu short, this is a reversion to war times which we regret to see, aud whiob does not Beem to have been necessitated by the events that have thus far come to light." What are the opinions of the press, R-pnblicao or Democrat, to tbe mili? tary potentates? What do they care I for public opinion? As there was once a higher law tbau tbe Constitution, so there in uow a higher power than tbe laws.?Baltimore Sun. The following is a copy of the reso lotions adopted at tbe indignation meeting in New York, on the 11th: Whereas, it is n fundamental prio-1 oipie of parliamentary law underlying all our national and State Constitu? tions, that a Legislature is tbe sole judge of the qualifications of its mem? bers, and that even judicial interfer? ence is not to be rated with that high and all important privilege; and where? as, there is nothing iu the laws of the United States, nor iu the Constitution and laws of the State of Louisiana whiob, in tbe least, excepts tbe legis? lative body of that State from tbe ope? ration of this ancient national and un? doubted principle of governmeut; and whereas, oautiun and foresight in tbe exercise of Federal interference with the concerns of tbe States lately in re? bellion are m.tde doubly desirable at this moment, by the fact that nearly half the voters of that region arc per? sons ouly now receiving their first lessons in politics, and who, as yet, possesR no familiarity with the dangers to which constitutional government ia exposed, with the means by which it ia maintained aud defended, and no knowledvo of tbo sacrifices by which past gem-rations have created it, and who, as a matter of fact, look on tbo Federal Administration aa their best friend aud mor-.t trustworthy instructor; therefore, Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, auy uso of the Federal au? thority which teaches these newly madw voters t ? believe that political sooiableness cau be solved by arbitrary processes or a display of physical force, better or more readily than by labor, patience aud consideration, is an of? fence against the national safety aud welfare, which calls for tbe aevertst condemnation. Whereas, all intimidation of a Legis? lature, and especially that form of in? timidation which consists in military interference with its orgauizttion and debates, or iu display oi military force iu or about the place of meeting, is sire, eventually, to convert represen? tation into force, by making the Legis? lature, in a greater or less degree, the oreature or servant of the Executive; therefore, Resolved, That we oan not too warmly express our disapprobation of tbe part which the military fcroea of the United States have been allowed more than onoe to play in the organization of the Legislature of tbe Slate ot Louisiana. Whereas on the first of these occa? sions in 1872, when Federal troops took possession of the State House ia Now Orleans, and permitted no person to enter the legislative chambers ex? cept those pointed out to the sentinel by the United States Marshal, the oc? currence was rightly considered by the whole country a scandal disorder of the gravest kind; but, nevertheless, as it took piauo uuuoi ??7?7 vi ?? C*rdc? of the United States Court, it was held by many that the officials engaged in it might honestly plead ignoranoeof tbe enormity of tbe transaction, in spite of the fsot that the order in question was on ita faoe, to nse the language of a oommittee of tbe United States Senate which examined it, "most reprehensible, erroneous in point of law, and wholly void for want of jurisdiction." Whereas this occurrence, and the disoussiou it called forth, cannot have left the Administration or ita officers in the dark as to the serious nature of the objections to military iuterferenoe of the Federal authorities with the maohinery of State Governments; therefore, Resolved, That we have heard with surprise and alarm that the State House of Louisiana was taken posses ion of and garrisoned by a Federal brigade prior to the meeting of the Legislature on the 1th of January lost; that tbe members had to mako their way under exuminatiou to their places through Hues of armed sentinels, aud then prooeed to tbe discharge of their duties inside under tbe eye of a mili? tary commander, and subject to their authority, and holding the very build? ing iu which they sat as a fortified post. When disputes subsequently arose between the two parties ioto which the Legislature is divided over the orgaui zatiou of tbe House of Representa? tives, this officer took upon himself to answer tbe appeal of oue side, and assume tbe duties of Sergeant-at-Arms aud of the police by repressing the disturbance within tbe building, an d that when subsequently a minority of tbe House, being dissatisfied with tbe vote or with the mode of taking it, or With the qualifications of some of those who participated in it, refused to seek tbe settlement of the contro? versy by ordinary and long-established methods of psrHamaniary law. hut ap? pealed to tbe Governor o"f the State to interfere with the proceedings, the troops of the United States, at tbe Go f eroor'e unlawful request or command, entered the legislative hall, aud then and there settled by force the purely parliamentary question of the qualifi? cation of several persons present for seat in the House by expelling them violently from tbe building. Whereas no occurrence of this kind has been , recorded itx the history of free govern meot without deie^stlgnie tizad, aud rightly stigmatized, an aot of revolutionary violence, and though, J owing to the peculiar condition of tun ' Southern States and to the multipli? city of our State Legislatures, it may I seem an event of less moment in Loui? siana io our day than it has seemed in other places aud at other times, it as? sumes a character of the utmost gravi? ty when we remember that if it be per? missible in Louisiana, whether it shall take plaoe or not in New York or Mas? sachusetts, becomes a question not of legal right, but of Executive discre? tion; therefore, Jiesolved, That for this reason above all, we emphatically protest against it, aud declare our solemn conviction that it were better that legislative bodies should be forbidden to meet at sll than to be forbidden to meet nnder their own rules and surrounded by their own officers, because nothing is more dangerous or demoralizing than arbi? trary role veiled by constitutional forand that the citizens of New York, without distinction of party, I here assembled, appeal to their fellow citizens of the whole country to unite with them in this protest. I Aud whereas tbe recent despatch of the Lieuteuant General of tbe army, addressed to the Secretary of War, suggesting that Congress should pass ud Act, or that tbe President shonld issue a proclamation in imitation of 1 the dragonades of Louis IV, declaring lau indeterminate number of his fellow citizens "banditti," and anthorizing him to put tbem down with.armed force, might be passed over as hasty und ill-conoeived language of a soldier who, however gallant in the field, al? lowed himself to remain inexcusably I ignorant of the usages and laws of bis country, were it not that it has re? ceived tbe prompt approval of the War Department, accompanied by an iutimation that the President and I other members of the Cabinet ap? proved of it; therefore. Unsolved, That we can Dot refrain from expressing our heart-felt reproba I tiou of the despatch itself, of the atro? cious imputation it oasts on a large body of our countrymen, and of the Executive sanction which it has re? ceived. Whereas the outrages on legislative independence against which we have met to protest, have no legal re? lation to the problem of reconstruc? tion, properly so-called, and do not arise out of any recent legislation of Congress regarding tbe States lately io rebellion; aud whereas Federal mili? tary assistance is to be rendered upon his responsibility by tbe President, under und by virtue of a1 provisiou of the original amended Constitution, aud in auswer to a call which' the Le? gislature of any State, or if not in ses? sion, the Governor of any State, may I make; therefore, Resolved, That tbe manner in which tbe Federal troops have been em I ployed in Louisiana constitutes an I abuse of authority whioh is dangerous to public liberty in an equal degree in every part of the Union. Loud and long-oontinned applause followed each clause whioh denounoed tbe oondoct of the military authorities in the State of Louisiana. Query.?Did the "White League" swindle 72,000 negroes out of their savings in tbe Freed man's Bank? I During the disouasion of the Lnoiai I ana matter in the United States Se? nate, on Friday, Mr. Morton gave the bloody ehirt of the Ko Klus bis old familiar shake, and this time in the faoe of Mr. Gordon. Mr. Morton thought that intimidation of Republi? cans wa9 clearly proved in Georgia, whioh changed from a Bepnblican ma? jority of 10,000 to a Democratic one, ranging from 40,000 to 50.000. Mr. Gordon, however, replied that Georgia bad changed politically for the reaaona that Indiana, Ohio, New York, Massa? chusetts and Pennsylvania had changed politically. The hit was a palpable one. Good Poxnts.?When it wee pro* posed to clear tbe Senate galleries, the other day, by policemen, Tipton said "if the Sergeant-at-Arms cannot keep order, we have the army of tbe United States." The Louisville Courier-Jornal says: "Tho Northern States may look with ooncern, if not with alarm, at the action of the Radical Returning Board of New Orleans. If this spirit of fraud and oppression is allowed to grow, their time will come, too, and all that they can expect is the promise of Po? lyphemus to Ulysses, that be would devour him the last." Strong Tehtimost.?Some rather startling testimony from Northern men, ex-Federal soldiers during the war, was given at tbe New Orleans in? dignation meeting. John A. Thomp? son, Colonel of a New York Regiment, thus spoke: "Among other things, I tell you that if an outrage like that perpetrat? ed hero yesterday, occurred in' New York, the streets would run with blood. It is not that Louisiana is attacked. This may go on until it may one day sweep Massachusetts. I tell you, il this ooudition of things continues, I have lost my leg for nothing, end, in? stead of decorating tbe graves of oni Union soldiers with flowers, we should write tbe word 'fool'on each, bead board"! ^. Mr. Cruiksbank, a umber of tbt Second Massachusetts Regiment, no old command of Sheridan's, thus de livered himself: . "I say that bis despatches arc simply false. I have been through the streets of this oity, end made' il my business, to see, whether the lives ol citizens, even though they wer? from tbe North, were safe, and I found that I ooold trust my wife end f amilj Well, it doe* look like a vset .tom ber of men had mad" a botch in tbia fight for a Constitution and Union. . . It is reported by telegraph that Aotoioe, acting Lieutenant-Governor of Louisiana, has refused to accept the proposed arbitration of the Congres? sional Executive Committee; but the.
