TIl?jOIJttML. JOHN KERSHAW, PROPRIETOR. . i ~ AMDENTS. C. MARCH 13, 1873The Lonisana Question. As one of the chapters of passing history which will probably claim a large share of attention in tho futnrc, this unhappy affair deserves notico. The local electorial col leges of the State, at the election last autumn, returned the McEnery or Fusion ticket by large majorities, but the State Board of Canvassers divided on the subject The Liberals, having, it is said, the majority of the board, proceeded, after certain vacancies in the board were filled, to declare the election of the Fusion Ticket. On the other hand, the radicals who were members of the board, or claimed to be, organized a board of their own, and declared Kellogg and the regular radical ticket elected, of course, assigning' as their reason, therefor, fraud, intimidation, etc., on the part of their opponents. Both parties, thereforo, claimed the election, and both attempted to organize their respective governments. In this juncture, violence having been threatened and a mission of representatives of the most substantial and worthy people of their State, sent to Washington to procure a recognition of the conservative government, having failed, the military authorities of Louisana were directed from Washington to prevent any interference by force with the Kellogg adminietf*tinn This nmetieallv decided the fate of Louisiana, unless Congress should inter fere. This, Congress failed to do. A collision of armed forces of the rival governments followed, and the strong arm of the United States Government interposed by the military, arrested the effusion of blood. Such, briefly, is a history of the matter, sufficiently accurate for general information. One does not know where to begin to comment. Congress is required by the constitution to guaranteo to each State a republican form of government, but we presume none will doubt that under this requirement, Congress would have had the power to interpose if, as appeared to be the case in this instance, the constitutionally elected government was about to be overturned by the usurpation of a pretended government?but in the absence of such action by Congress, it is difficult to see how the matter could be dealt with at all by the Executive deparament of the government, there being no such power in the constitution. The times, however, are revolutionary, and we are not disposed to question, too strictly, any act of interference by the Washington government, which goes to the extent merely of preventing bloodshed. There is no Southern State situated as is Louisiana, that uiay not after a general election, require similar intervention to keep the peace?and however we may regret that this power is now exercised to sustain a faction against the properly elected officers of the State, even that may be considered prefer. able to the evils of civil war, and consequent anarchy and ruin. The government thus established, will no donbt sit as an incubus upon the people of that unfortunate State, cripple her industries and resources, and occasion much anxiety and distress among the people, and the Congress that refused to avert the infliction, is responiblc for a great wrong; but these are times that call for patient endurance of many evils, for which, as yet, there is no remedy. The best consolation afforded us is, that great wrongs tend to their own redress, and bring to the faithful and true their own compensation in the end. The Fortj-heeond CongreM. Of the Congress just adjourned, the Philadelphia Ledger (Kep.) says: "The Forty-second Congress came to its end yesterday, in universal discredit. During the last week it came out that a number of its members in both Houses had been engaged in corrupt transactions, and that at least three Senators were implicated in bribery in procuring their elections. It was due to the American people that their Con gross should free itself from all complicity with such men. But, instead of punishing them to the utmost of its power, it scandalously put itself forword as their apologist and protector. The House passed weak and inoperative resolutions of censure upon two of its ten culprits, and let the others go unrebuked. And the New York Sun closes its com. mcnts on the subject with the following kindly words: The Fortv-Second Congress! As its mem bers sneak home with the money of the people lining their pockets, even boys at their marbles in the Btreets will point to them, ( one saying to his comrade, ''There goes o member of the Forty-Second Congress I" and the comrade, not deigning to raise his eyes from his play, will respond, "And of course, a thief!" Credit Mobllier. The following temperate paragraph from , Our Fireside Friend, has the right ring about it: " This may end it for the present, but it is hardy probable that it will put a quietus on it of long duration. Honest men without distinction of party desire this whole business probed to the bottom. It is not a question of party; it goes farther and deepor than that. It concerns the vitality of populaj government itself. Corruption in whatcteT form, guise or name must be unmasked. The times are propitious for uprooting this evil; there is no heated political campaign pending; it is an opportune moment for parties to ferrit out and punish bad men in their ranks, who have been dishonest and corrupt; who arc the stipendiaries of huge corporations and their agents, and whose practices have cast obloquy upon the party name." The President's Inaugural Address fares but indifferently in the discussion of its merits by friend and foe. As a specimen, take the following from the New York Times : " The address, as a whole, bears the unmistakable stamp of the President's individuality. It is a blunt, strai'ght forward, and practical document; with no pretensions to literary graces, and with plenty of those minor faults on which the literary amateurs and the dictionary men can find a good deal to exercise their small wits. It reflects not a few of the personal feelings of the Presi dent in favor of certain developments of nativity, which, perhaps arc lacking in a sound economical basis. In a man of less perfect self restraint, and less complete subordination, to what he clearly discerns to be the common sense of the people, such opinions might be dangerous. As it is, the President is too outspoken to conceal his belief that the National Government ought to do sundry things usually committed to individual euterprisc, while it is p' rfectly certain that he has too keen a sense of the responsibilities of his position to urge such details of policy beyond the limit which both the people and their representatives would approve." Per Contra, take this from the New York .Ctm * . " Gen. Grant's second inaugural address has the merit of brevity, and considering its quality, would have been more croditable to him had it been still- more brief. " It consists of disjointed senteices and confused paragraphs thrown together heterogeneouslv like a pudding. " The President not only enforces the importance of education by precept, but illustrates it by his own example. His style of composition is not worthy of an intelligent schoolboy ten years old. " But while tho address is stupid it is patriotic. His opposition to a large standing force, naval or military?suggested repeatedly rather than clearly expressed?smacks more of statesmanship than any thing else that he says. (1 The address reads a good deal like the speech of a sovereign, who considers himself the father of the nation, and imagines that the people derive their happiness and prosperity from him, or like thatof a big Indian chief to his tribe." If, after the porusal of these impartial opinions, our readers cannot arrive at a correct estimate of its merits, we despair of leading them to a satisfactory conclusion. Washington Correspondence. Washington, March 8. a big week in tne capital. In the beginning of the week Congress raised certain officials' salaries, and their own, which is about all they did do, barring the Credit Mobilier whitewashing, and adjourned, much to the disgust of the lobbyists who were interested in little bills, but much to the satisfaction of the people gen1 AWAIlrr twliA A?nlu!moJ " iro Uiauj) TTUU CAViaiUiCU IIUUBUVV., IVV. The inauguration display, so far as the decorations, Sre-works and procession were concerned, was very fine. The military presented an exceedingly imposing appearance. THE BALL. The inauguration ball was a failure both in point of numbers and in the marked absence of the fashionables. Cause why ? Simply because the society folks, who, as a rule, line off the Government in some shape or other, and that through their intense and extreme Radicalism, do not purpose to mingle with their colored citizens, even though they do favor the mixing of whites and blacks in the public schools, and they could not be induced to come out. Up to 12 o'clock the President had not made his appearance, and it was given out that the Presidential , family had scruples as to permitting the sons and daughters of Africa to corns betwixt the wind and their nobility, but at last the newly made came in and conde- , scended sufficiently to remain about ten minutes. The comments on his want of courtesy to those who assembled in his honor, oven among his own friends, too, were not at all complimentary. The man Grant either must be a natural born boor with the manners of a clod-hoDDer. or he must thoroughly de ? j r / w " spiso the people and does not cart to hide it. There were a dozen couple of negroes present, two white fellows promenaded with ne gro belles on their arms, and presented them to the President; one of these white trash was named LaBarncs, who wants to marry the daughterof Downing, the Restaurateur, but the decent old colored man objects to the "low-flung" hound coming into 1 his family. The building in which the ball was held cost $40,000 to build it when the Smithsonian Institute, a much more suitable place to hold it, conld have been arranged for, probably, as many hundreds. A job, a job my life on it. a job. The room was so cold that very few took off their wrappings to ' dance, overcoats took the place of swallow i tails, and old shawls hid the brilliancy of ' diamonds. On the evening of the 5th, a bal-maSque was held, but was scarcely a success. A promenade concert was given on , the evening of the 6th, when about 8,000 persons were present. The bail room was ( very elegantly decorated and there was a large number of visitors and others who would puy 50 cent* per caput to see it, who would not pay 85 for the bal-masque, or $20, the price of admission to the Inauguration all. SHABBY. The treatment of the Naval cadets was shameful. They were taken out of their beds at Annapolis at 4 o'clock in the morning, brought hero and led into the line of the procession on their arrival, and kept without food all day in the bitter piercing cold, and then sent back in this famishing condition to Annapolis ^The question is, who is to blame Secretary Robeson or their own officers ? Au account should be rendered, as the ac tion cannot be defended. THE SENATE. Senator Conkling'a motion to adjourn on Tuesday next, will be considered on Monday, but it is not thought an adjournment will take nlace until the Senate is comDletelv organized, and the Committees . selected The Radicals will soon hold a caucus to de cide the question. The session will be short; the caucus will in all probability agree to an adjournment the latter part of next week. THE EXTRA PAY. The First Comptroller of the Treasury? Hon R. W. Taylor?declines to draw the warrant for the back pay voted by members to themselves, as the section appropriating the money is clumsily worded, and is susceptible of several constructions. The amount is the neat little sum of $1,600,000. A number of members are yet here, and arc very much disgusted at not fingering the cash. The conference committee purposo to see MrTaylor in order to overcome his scruples, but if he does not think the matter is right, correct and safe, they may as well remain nnrnn fnn V* a ifl one nP f Vl A mnef 1llAi?VlK1v onajf, iui no la uuv v? vuv uivdv ?ui?v*iwij honest and oonsoientions men that ever held place under any government. There is considerable talk over the increase of salaries, and is generally conceded to be just and proper, but the retroactive portion of the bill, that gives the increase for two years back, causes much unfavorable comment, and it is held that without regard to the vote, the dominant party will be made accountable .for it. The vote in the Senate on the bill was very full, several Senators only being absent on account of sickness, among whom was Senator Fcnton, who would have voted against the increase. The Senator is suffering from malarious fever, which at times confines him to his house. Being one of the most industrious, indefatigable, and methodical of men, ho is ever at his post, when at all able to be out?for with him, duty is paramount to all else. nobody's child. Pig-Iron Kelly has transmitted to the U. States Treasury, the dividends of the Credit Mobilier stock, amounting to $5,000. t The stock is to be sold. Oakes Ames says that if Kelley don't want it he should give it to Prtolfio PoiloAorl A mac aavi if. hd*1r\ncrflt bliw X UblUV JLkHlll VUU A* uivu irwjw a w vwavugw to Kellj. * The latter says it does not belong to him. To whom, then, does it belong ? Kelley might as well hare tho game as the name, and keep it. A very prominent Sena tor, one not smirched with Credit Mobilier, said that the turning over of these dividends and the stoek to the Treasury will do Mr. Kelly no good, the public mind is made up on t his subject. # A TE8T. Mr. Jos. B. Stewart?Kentucky Joe? I atf-ly imprisoned by the House of Representatives, for refusing to answer certain questions before the Credit Mobilier Committee, has brought suit against Speaker Blaine and Scrgeant-at-Arms Ordway, for damages?the former for $1,000 and the latter for 8100,000, for false imprisonment. It is done to test the power of either House u> imprison a citizen for a matter not involing a question of privilege. It is well to define clearly, exactly what the power of Congress is in such cases. A little more jealousy of our rulers would be wholesome and good. perspnal. It is rumored that Senator Cam eron desires to be rolieved of the chairmanship of the Committee on Federal Relations. Gen F. T. Dent has severed his official connection with the White House.
