NON-INTERFERENCE IN LOUISIANA. It was too good to last, President Grant never before stood impartial so long. When Gov. Nicholls was inaugurated in Louisiana, and the people flocked to his support when the Packard Government trembled in the State House, with all the guilty fear of defeated conspirators, and not a man lifted his voice in their defence in short, when the people of Louisiana exercised their inherent right of revolution, and swept away the Republican Government, simply with one breath of their honest indignation, without firing a shot or striking a blow—then President Grant stood aloof. Doubt less the conviction that this was an uprising of the people for popular rights overpowered even his itching desire to declare for the Government of the carpet-baggers and thieves, but he was not allowed to remain long in that mind, lie has now issued an order which he vows to the Washington correspondents does not recognize either Government. But in it he says, "should a necessity arise for the recognition of either, it must be Mr. Packard."' This is non-interference indeed! Imagine a Supreme Court Judge rising on the bench and saying: '"I hope I may not be compelled to decide this case, but it I am, I shall decide for the plaintiff! Imagine a juryman rising in his place saying: '"If a verdict becomes necessary in this case, I shall iind for the defendant!" Imagine a public functionary saying: "If I award this contract, and in all probability I will, I shall awaro it, not to the lowest bidder, but to so-and-so!" President Grant's non-interfer-ence is about as impartial as the non-in-terference of a man who watches a fight merely waiting for his besttime to shoot.

The truth undoubtedly is that his proc lamation in behalf of Packard, was put out to help Hayes. The moral effect of the decision of the courts in Florida, giving the State government to (he Democrats, has been tremendous in convincing thousands of fair-minded Repnblicans that the electoral vote of the State rightfully belonged to Gov Tilden and the peaceful and resistless revolution in Louisiana had the same result. It was necessary to stop it as speedily as possible. This is the secret of the letter to Gen. Augur. It is a desperate device of the Republican conspirators in behalf of the Republican Pretender.

THE COMPRO-

ELECTORAL MISE.

We do not abate one jot or tittle of "our fixed belief that Tilden and Hendricks were fairly, honestly, legally, and equitably elected. They were elected on the face of the returns and after the returns were canvassed, thanks to Oregon. They received a large popular majority and a majority of the electoral votes. Nevertheless, we view with a satisfaction, deeper and more earnest thean mere complacency the proposed compromise measure. It is extrajudicial but it proposes a peaceful solution. It substitutes the will of fifteen men, for the will of the people, but it may avert war. It derives no color of authority from the Constitution, and yet it may preserve that instrument from destruction. It is a methoJ of settlement, which was never contemplated by the founders of the Republic, and yet bv demonstrating the insufficiency of our present laws, will emphasize the necessity for their immediate revision, to meet the possible recurrcnce of just such an unforseen emergency. For these reasons it apears to the GAZETTE to bp. good.

As to the composition of the tribunal proposed, it is as fair a one as could be selected. Five very excellentmcn of either or both political parties could be chosen irom each House of Congress. The gravity of the issues to be settled will probably induce the selection, by the presiding officers of both the Senate and the House ofthe best and fairest and most moderate men in those bodies. As to the remaining five, there could certainly be no more august tribunal from which to select them, than the Supreme Court. There is everything in the traditions and history

«A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERMENT. The New York Nation say* with commendable ardor: "We think wr shall before long see the public in full concurence with Gov. Robinson, of this State that a State which has a Returning Board like that of Louisiana doeti not posess a Republican f«rm of government." That is the gist of the whole Louisiana controversy. The Republicans, splitting hairs with a great show of fairness over minor Constitutional point! oftechnicle interest, forget that at the bottom of this whoic unhappy dispnte lies the great fundamental wrong that the Goverment ofthe United States does not to the State of Louisiana a Republican form of government, as the Constitution

requires.

What

the use of splitting

hairs over the right of the Preside.it of the Senate to cast the vote or the power o! the two Houses or the duties ofthe tellers, while back of all the machinery of counting the vote lies the one appaling fact that the people of a sovereign State have no means ot saying how their vote shall be cast? The Constitution of the United States makes every possible provision for protecting the right of a State to make its will heard in the choice of a President, but the framers of that instrument did not contemplate for a moment such a condition of affairs as exists in Louisiana. The people of that State elected McEncrv, Governor, and Kellogg was counted in they elected Nicholls, and Packard was counted in they cast their vote tor Tilden, and it was counted for Hayes. Year after year their voice has been stifled. This is not a Repulican form of government it is not government at all. It is usur pation and tyranny.

Do you think this language too sweep ing Hear what the man says who framed the law under which the Louisiana Returning Board acts, Judge Hugh L. Campbell. His view, impartially stated by the Nation, is that "the ballots put in the boxes are merely ballots until the rc-tuins are made up by the Board In the eye of the law the Board is constructively present at all the polls, receives all the ballots, and purifies and assorts them, but they do not become votes until the Board has passed upon them. In fact, the Board casts the vote of the States and propeily holds the Stat* elections." Is this what you call a Republican form of government

Renew your Subscription to the GAZETTE.

UNLESS a compromise in the manner of the counting the electoral vote is made before the fourth ot March, there will be a row, if Hayes is countcd in by Ferry and inaugurated by Grant and Don Cameron. This should be understood. The Democrats ask nothing but what is right and will submit to nothing that is wrong.

EXAMINED merely by the naked eye, it would appear from the following paragraph as if the New York Sun had let a flood of light on the Phillipic ofthe Massachusetts orator:

If Tilden wins, it is rum in New York, and revolvers in the South.—[Wendell Phillips.

As usual, Mr. Phillipps is partly right and partly wrong. Rum and revolvers have had something to do with the defeat of the Republican party. For turther particular? inquire at the White House, and at the War Department.

SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 24.—The chair laiJ fore the senaU a message from the President of the United States, in regard to the revolt in Turkish provinces ordered to bd printed and to lie on the table. The credentials of senators elected Windom of Minnesota, and Bailey and Haines of Tennesee were placed 011 file.

Wright, from the committee on claims reported favorably on the Senate bill to extend lor two years, the act to establish Southern claims commission. Placed on callendar.

The chair laid before the Senate a reEOlution. Sherman directing the Seargant-at-armg to arrest any person who by applause or dissent disturbed the order ®f the Senate,also a resolution of Gordon declaring the State Government in South Carolina represented by Wade Hampton to be the lawful Government ot the State, but as neither Senator was in the chamber the resolutions were laid aside.

Consideration was then resumed of the unfinished business bill, in regard to counting the election votes.

Conkling who was entitled to the floor, not having arrived, Sargent took the floor, and spoke in opposition to the bill.

Sargent taid he had endeavored to bring his mind to an assent of the provisions of this bill. First, because he desired the result might be worked out of the complication satisfactorily to the whole country, and second,"because he deeired equal and exact justice shall be done to everv candidate of the late presidential election, and to parties which put those candidates forward but he did not believe this bill would accomplish any such result.

He argued that the power to count the electoral vote was lodged in the president of the senate. Sargent quoted at length from Madison papers and argued that the cause of the constitution in regard to counting the electoral vote as at first agreed upon by constitutional goverment iead: "The President ofthe Senate shall open all certificates: the vote shall then and there be counted in the presence of the senate and house of representative.

It was referred for revision and was subsequently reported to be read: The President of the Senate shall in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives open all of the certificates and the vote shall then be counted. The members of the Committee on revision argued that the clause as revised and repotted that it was substantially the same as that agreed upon by the convention. lie objected to the bill because it invited the political party defeated by the ordinary forms to clamor for another hearing. He regarded the bill not as a compromise, but as a surrender of Republican rights. Sargent having concluded, Conkling resumed the floor.

He first presented a petition numerously signed bv merchants and business men of New York in favor of the passage of the pending bill. Laid on table. He said he would present to the Senate, were it not addressed to the special com mittee a telegram this morning received by him from Indiaua, and signed by 17 Republicans and 3 Democrats.

Among the signers he found the nam a of Conrad Baker, once governor of the state, Leonidas Sexton, who was lieut. governor, Mr. Gordon republican candidate for Attorney General in the late election and General Harrison who was a republican candidate for governor

He carried the flag gallantly. He led the canvass disastrously but dashingly, Mr. Conkling then handed the telegram over to Morton amid laugh:er in the galleries.

HOUSE

Washington, Jan. 24.—Consideration was resumed of the resolutions reported bv the committee on privileges and was addressed by McDill, of Iowa, in lavor of the resolutions submitted by the minority ofthe committee.

McDill said if the propositions of the majority were true, that no vote could be counted without the consent ot the House, it would give the House a practical veto power over every election by the people. He thought the President of the Senate had alone power to count the votes, but whoever counted them, whether it waw the President of the Senate alone, or gether with the House and Senate, or whether it was the Senate and House without any participation on the part of the President ofthe Senate the duty devolved was purely ministerial,

The decree was tfce decree of a sovereign and independent people a decree which could not be reversed. Any attempt to reverse the will of the people was unconstitutional. It was usurpation It was pressing down the rights of the pc®ple, and if persisted in or carried out was revolution.

Messrs. vVeeks & Potter: Gentlemen,—One year ago I was seized with a severe attack of •Rheumatism in my right hip, to which I was subject. I tried the various liniments and rheumatic cures, but without the least benefit when my son, a druggist, suggested one of your Collins' Voltaic Plasters. The effect was almost magical, for, to my grateful surprise, I was almost immediately well again, and was able to work my farm as usual, whereas, before the application of tho plaster, I could do nothing, and every step Kave me pain. A few weeks since, one year from tho first attack, the diseaso returned, but I am happy to say the second Plaster proved as efficacious as the first, and I am now well.
