JOHN KERSHAW,
PROPRIETOR.

~ 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

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

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.

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

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.
