THE LOUISIANA UMUPATIOX. How the Kellog-ar (verninrnl UNn laluetl by Federal lty (-1 ! Aanrrby of ler 1. a true la from Senator Hr bars' fcpeecli alttt. I.outa. Last week the whole country was ablaze

with excitement over the revolution in Ixmlslana. My opinion on the Louisiana case 1 expressed when it first came up in Uie Semite, In rebruary of last year. That opinion was based upon a conscien tious and candid study or the very claoorate report of our invstigating committee. It was this : That the Kellogg Gov ernment in that State liad been set up by an act ot GROSS AXI INOF.FK.Nmni.K ISIRP4TI0V on the part of a I'nited States District Judge, aided by I'nited states troons. without the least evidence ot an election by the people ; that all the evidence there was of an election by the People, in the shaie of return, was decidedly In lavor ofMcEnery: that McKnery wa prima faeif. entitled to the olllce of Governor, subject to subsequent contest If any of the return were fraudulent, and that the only duty of the National Government in the case then was simply to undo the usurpa tion cnected and sustained ry its own omccr. to restore as much a possible the condition of tilings which had existed be fore the usurpation, and to leave the final settlement of tlie matter to tho competent State authorities. The same views were entertained and expressed by prominent Kepublican Senators, especially senator Edmunds, who is now chairman of the Judlclarv Committee of the Senate. I hold to that opinion still. But. while the act of gross usurpation was not denied, others former! different conclusions. Tlie President had recog nized the Kellogg; Government when it w lirst set up. inn itrwoTit rne;agc to Congress he confessed his doubts as to Kellogg'g title, and asked uongres to uirect him what to do, stating at the same time that, if Congress tailed to act, he would continue to recognize Kellogg. Congress iHTinitted two sessions to pass without doing anything. Ihus Kellogg, in spite of the universally admitted usurration, remained de faeto Governor of .ouisiana, recognized by the Natioi al Ex ecutive; w hile the McKnery Government maintained a show of organization, with out such recognition. Tlie time far the election of a. new Leg islature approached. The opponents of the Kellogg Government, apprehending thai NO CIUNCK FOR A FAIR ELECTION would lie given to thvm, organized ; an uprising followed, and an hour's struggle drove Kellogg, with his adherents, to flight; whereupon McEncry and hi associates possessed themselves of tho Mate Government. Then Kellogg called upon the President for military aid, and in die manner prescribed by the Constitution. He was the only Governor of IiuL-iaiia n-cognized by the President, and the President, also in the manner prescribed by the Constitution, granted that aid. The troop of the I'ni ted States reinstated Kellogg,' ami me McEncry party, the successful revolutionits, submitted' to tlie national authority promptly, without the least attempt at resistance, "his wa the end of. what 1 cu'lcd the Louisiana revolution. Drt it is not the end of the tbscasc, neither U It the final remedy. ' ' ' A GHTMT WRONG ha. been committed. That wrong does not consist in the intervention of the pres ident against those w ho, Ly force of arms, had driven Kellogg to flight ; for the I 'resilient acted In Uie exercise of hi con stitutional authority. Neither can. In a republic, the right of aelf help ty Tone be admitted, for such an admission would encourage every party, every Individual that has a grievance, eitiier real or imaginary, to resort to force for redress, and a ntatc of anarchy would ensue which no political or social organization could withstand. ve have too much of that selfdielp already, and too little patient reliance upon the low but orderly uud peaceable ways ol tlie law. Itut tlie great wrong wn committed be fore. It was when a F"dtral Judg, pal pably overstepping the limits of his juris diction and perpetrating an outrage without precedent in our history, was supported by tlie power of the National Governm-nt, which had not the least evidence of an election by the icople. It was w hen the creature of such an f.MlKARP OF I'Sl'KPATION was by the same National Government permitted to stand as a lawful authority. and to lord it over the people of a State. It wa when, even after the President liad confessed his doubt. Congress nogh'eU'd to undo the usurpation and to make room for those who had prima facie evidence of an election by the eoplc. 1 he wrong was committed even iwiore that, ami in more States than Iouislana. It wa when Federal ofllee-holdcrs in the South were jcrmittcd to use their author! ty and nrestiirc as a pow er In partisan con liicL, and for the support and perpetuation of partisan State governments the most rapacious and corrupt that ever disgraced a republican country. It was when the countensnce of the dominant party was not promptly withdrawn from the thieves who buried the Southern States under mountains of debt, and, tilling their ow n pockets, robbed the ople of their substance. It was when the keeping of the Southern States in the party traces was deemed more Important than that they should have an honest and constitutions! government. That wrong is not remedied by military Interference and tlie subjection ot revolutionists. Louisiana Is quiet. Kellogg sit In the Governor's chair trembling, perhaps, but safe. NoJicdy harms him. Then' is no further attempt at an anarchical movement on the part of Uie people Order reigns Iut there Is another kind of anarchy, which I just as dangerous to republican institutions and to the w elfare of the nation as the lawless self-help by force of Individ uals and parties. It is , . THE ANARCHY OF rOWK.K. - It Is the lawlessness of authority. If 5"rtu want the people to n-sp" ml obey the laws, convince them that tliOse in power do not w illfully disregard them. If yon wnut republican government to stand, let the government be one emanating from the people and rnoving ttrietly jwitfiiu const!t itional form. " ' When the citizen of Louisiana, after a successful revolution, promptly and unconditionally submitted to the constitutional authority of tho President, they did their duty. They demonstrated to the

world that their uprising was not a revival of the rebellion of IsOl.for many thousand In arms yielded instantly to a corjxiral's guard under the national flag. Their duty to the national authority was completely jHTforratsl. They gave up to It even their sense of right. Now it Is time that the National Government should candidly consider wliat U its duty toward them. The President Is not expected to reverse his recognition of the Kellogg Government without further action by Congress. Hut tlw election of a new legislature in Ixmlslana is iiniiending. and at the request ol Ke'logg a force of United State soldiers is at hand, professedly to secure the enforcement of the laws in that election. That military force inav be used Impartially, and it may not. TH it will dejN nd upon the man who controls it. It will lie in a great measure under the control of I'nited States Marshal Packard. AND WHO I PACKARD ? Itesides N iiig United States Marshal, he I one of Uie. principal aocomplioe of Judge Durell and Kellogg In the usurpation of two years ngo, and he is now the managing spirit ot the State Central Committee of the Kellogg party. I venture to assert that such an accomplice in previous usurpation and present manager of a o!ltical Party in a sharply contested election, such as this, is not a tit Iierson to manage at the same time the ,'nitesl States troops to be used in that election. It Is of the highest imjxirtapec that, especially tinder existing circumstances, the people of ioulsiana should not only have a fair election, but also that they fchould be made to feel that they have one. And it will tie admitted that the Irregular and striking combination of pat reiformances and present functions in Mr. 'ackardis not calculated to inspire con 11dcuce. I am sure the whole country would applaud an order of the President relieving Mr. Packard of his ofllcial duties, and Uie substitution of a man of such character that everybody will believe hi in Incapable of abusing his power for partisan emls. CALL AWAY THE OFFICE-HOLDERS. This is a candid and reeellul suggestion which might he enlarged upon. " Indeed, if ever, now i the time to call away not only Irom Louisiana, but from South Carolina and all the Southern States, or to strip of their official power, the multitude of Federal ofllee-holder, w ho have looked

upon themselves a mere party agcuts, u.sin? all tin Ir Inl'mcncc to sustain and strengthen the blood-suckers desolating that eouutry, and probably not In many cases oblivious of their own profit. And I was sincerely rejoiced when afewdaysago I read In the paiiers that the President w as seriously thinking of holding a terrible muster of Federal placemen In the South. It is a timely resolution. Jever wa It more ue-essary. I.ot us hope Unit not a single one of those w ho have made the federal Authority t symbol of selllsh par tisan power anil greedy oppression may escape Mm, and that the Is-ginning lie made with Packard and Ids associates. whose partisan appeals IihI the President to recoznuo the Kellogg Government two rears ago, and brought him into a position In which he now oouM not perform the dntyof enforcing the Federal authority without at the same tune sustaining a flagrant wrong. lut there the PITY OF THK NATIONAL GOVERNMENT docs not end. It will not have lieen fully performed a long a the usurimtion set on foot by a Federal Judge and supported by the redeial power Is not undone. No longer than the period of its next meeting should the Congress of the United State crmit any citizen of Louisiana to believe that the highest legislative power of the republic can so far vield to partisan spirit as to sustain a pilpable, nn undoubted usurpation, even after that usurpation has most igtiominlously dciiionstrau-d Its Inability to sustain itself. That duty remains unfulfilled until that precedent 1 wned out, which Is 1 dangerous a that of a sucoeosful revolution would have been ; the precedent of a successful coup d'etat, cre ating a State Government and a Iogi-h-turc.Tvlthout tne evidence oi election, oy theiiere lint of a Federal Judge, supported by a I'nited States Marshal and Federal bayonet, and a band of reckless partisan nd venturers. Ict the highest powers in the land once more make every citize n understand and feel that, while preserving intact the awful authority of the Govern ment, they are ready to throw asidrt all selll-h consideration of party Interest when the rights and the welfare of tlie people and the Integrity of republican Institutions we In question. ICt this lie done let it be done iy those who stand at the head of the dominant party, a a proof of good faith an 1 patriotic spirit, mid the lessons taught by the event in Ixmisiana will tie of inestimable benefit to tlie whole American people. Capricious Locomotives Locomotive need experienced drivers a well as horses, though most persons will be surprised to know hat they have, whims and caprices Jind. liko living animals, and engineers acquainted w ith them can manage ihemjo best advantage. It is pvrfiTtly well known toexicrienoed engineers that if a dozen diff rent locomotive cnginv were made at the same time, of the same power, for the same purpose, of like materials, in tlie same f actory, each of these locomotive engines would rome out with its own peculiar whims rind wsys, only ascertainable by experience. One engine will lake a great meal of coal and wiiter at once; another will not hear to such a tldng, but insl.sts on being coaxed by spadeful and bucketful. One Is disposed to start off w hen required, at the top of hi speed ; another must have a little time to wnrni at his work and to get well Into It. Thcsa peculinri'le are so accurately mastered hy skillful drivers that only particular men can persuade engines to do their bcX.

All locomotive engine are lowspirited In damp and foggy weather. They have a great satisfaction iu their work when the air is crisp and frosty. At such a lime they are very cheerful and brisk, but they strongly object to haze and mists. These are point of character on which they arc united. It Is In their peculiarities and varieties of character that they arc the most remarkable.
