An unprejudiced public will give us the credit of having impartially treated both political parties in Louisiana, by admitting, at wo havo repeatedly done, that theTC were irregularities, of a very gravo nature, in the election itself, and that both parties were more or less at fault in precipitating the present disgraceful political crisis. That there has been any adequate cause for tho trouble now existing there, however, or that there is any valid excuse for armed re- B.gtattoe to the constituted authorities of the utato, is what we most confidently deny. In proof of this position, let us refer again to the origin of tho troubles, and recall the fact- as they were given at the time by the proper state and United States tribu nals, before whom the the matters in dis pute were considered and tried: According to the laws of Louisiana, Govern or Warmoth, Lieutenant Governor Pinchback, Secretary of State Herron, and Messrs. Lynch nnd Anderson constituted at the late elec lion in that state a returning board, with power to canvass the votes for Presidential' Electors, members of Congress, sta(e officers, and mem bers of the Legislature. Finchback and Ander .'•uii were candidates upon the Bepublican ticket, and therefore resigned their seats upon the board, and to fill the vacancy so created, Longstreet and Hawkins wore elected by the remaining members, as provided by law. Warmoth then pretended to remove the secretary of state from office and unpointed In hi_ place a fellow named Jack "Wharton. Warmoth and Wharton then repu diated the election of Longstreet and Hawkins, and appointed in their places Hatch and Depont. This board, so constituted, were proceeding to i anvass the votes when, upon due application their proceedings were perpetually enjoined by i lie judge of the eight d striut state court, whose jurisdiction in the case was unquestioned. War moth thereupon forcibly ejected the judge grant ing said injunction from his olllce, and Installed ni his place, before the votes were canvassed or it was legally known who was elected, the Dem ocratic candidate for the judgeship in that dis trict at that election. Proceedings were then had iv the supreme court of the state In which 'the validity of this change of judges was brought in question, and the court held it invalid anil in I'tl'ect decided that Wannoth's board ot canvas sere was illegal and its act. void. These dec! . ions of the state court wero treated by Warmoth with perfect contempt. Suit was com menced on the equity side of tbe United States district court, in which an injunction was asked and obtained against tho Warmoth board of canvassers, and this injunction was also treated "by Warmoth's board wilh contempt. In structions were then given to the marshal to enforce the orders of this court, and troops wore itlaced at his service for that purpose. Mean white the board of canvassers organized accord ing to law. A majority of them canvassed the votes and returned that the Bepublican candi dates for presidential electors and state ollicers were and that certain persons were elected to Ihe legislature. Let our political contemporaries bear in mind that not only the Judge of the United Slates court,whose action has been seriously questioned, but the Judges of the District l.ourt and Supreme Court of the State, as well as the legally constituted returning board, decided in favor of the present state officers. But this is not all. Upon the announcement of these decisions, War motli applied to the Supreme Court of the United States for a writ of prohibition against Kellogg, which was refused, Chief Justice Chase delivering the opinion of tho court, which was concurred in by every one of his associates on the bench. It is true that this opinion did not go to the merits of the disputo as between the de jure and the de facto governments of the state, since tha decision of the court was simply to this effect: That there was only one way to contest the validity of the decisions made by the local courts, and that was by appeal, or writ of error, in the regular form. After the dismissal of Wannoth's writ by the highest judicial tribunal in the land, with no other or further legal ptaccedings taken by the party, we submit whether the K-cllogg government, however irregular it might have been in the first instance, was not only the de facto but tho de jutu government of tho state. The New Or leans Times, of a recent date, in referring to the status of tho McEnery and Kellogg government., says: We do not question the tie jure rights of Gov ernor McEnery, but at the s:ime time we find the de facto evidences all on the side of Governor Kellogg. He is in possession. He is supported by the State and Federal courts, so far as they nave been appealed to. He is surrounded by all ihe machinery through wiiich de facto govern ments operate iv the assessment, collection, and disbursnieiit of taxes. He has possession of the state arms and controls the state mlliiia. What turther evidence of a de facto government can be required ? Here, then, is a government recognized by the courts and political tribunals of the slate, against whose lawful authority a por tion of the people of that state, having the sympathy of our local journals, are. in aimed rebellion, bringing infinite disgrace upon our institutions and the essential prin ciples of government underlying them. When the New Orleans committee wait ed on the President, and requested that a .fudge of the Supreme Court be sent down there to take chargo of the United States District Court, and that he (the President) would interfere to prevent the installation of Kellogg, tho followiug language was used by General Grant: Congress has (he power te Investigate tho facts in the case presented, but he (the President) did not propose to interfere with the local affals In I hat state by putting one set of officers or another in power. Although numerous telegrams, let ters, and papers said he had done so, no action was taken by the administration unlll the de decreeof the United States conrt was attempted to be set aside or resisted by the last governor of i lie state. Then the United States marshal was < imply instructed to see that tho decree of the L-ilei-al courts was sustained, and military torces were to be used if necessary to support tho federal authority. He would not feel at lib erty to make a request that Judge Bradley go to New Orleans particularly, a. he is wanted lure while the court Is in session, although If the court should make the request it would meet with his approbation. The President, during tho colloquy with Judge (' mi pi..-li, said his understanding of the subject was that the court had merely decided who were the legal canvassers, and even if, as stated in the com, the court exceeded its authority its deci sion will have to be respected until the decision shall have been set aside by a superior i ourt. It would be dangerous for a President to set a pre cedent of interfering with the decisions of the courts. Now, up to this hour, no further action has been taken by the Warmoth party as represented by the McEnery government, so-called, and on what pretence can it be alleged that the Kellogg government is a usurpation. The Warmoth party has been defeated before every judicial tribunal to which it has appealed, and now it is seek ing by force of arms to resist a government which has so far been recognized as the only regular one by the courts of the coun try. The responsibility of bloodshed and civil war in that state rests upon the reck less men who have attempted to back War moth in what he called " his little difficulty down there," meaning his resistance to the laws and judicial decisions of Louisiana. Cheap Transportation. Governor Smith, of Georgia, ha 3 been for some time engaged in writing letters in favor of a ship canal in that state, which shows a contempt for topographical obsta cles which has rarely been surpassed. His pet scheme is to make waterrun up hill, as a means of giving an outlet to tho products of the west at Savannah. But his scheme has not, thus far, met with that approval ip tho West which his earnestness in urging it might seem to deserve. Tho general need is not to build up Savannah or any other city, but to roach in the readiest way the markets of the world; and tho pro ducers of the West have thus far dealt with this question in a more practical spirit than tho governor, who is intent upon increasing his popularity in his state. It is said that the convention which is now sitting in St. Louis was called for the purpose of heading off this nice little scheme of Governor Smith; or, at all events, of viewing the question of cheep transportation, if possible, in some of its more practical aspects. What the western and northwestern farmer finds true is< that, during a considerable portion of each year, water communication is impossible, or possible only at exhorbitant rates; while by rail it cost 3 him three bushels of corn to take one to market. Conventions have been hold by the farmers of Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota, and various railroad and canal schemes have sprung up to answer the cry for cheap trans portation. In the meantime Governor Smith starts his pet scheme of "making water run up hill," by constructing a canal from a point below Muscle Shoals, on the Tennessee river, through to the Coosa, Ochmulgee, Altamaha, and other streams, to roach the Atlantic seaboard on the shore of South Carolina; and ho has succeeded in attaching the governers of several other states to the tail of his transportation kite, which he is to fly at Atlanta on the 20th instant. Ono of our contemporaies in forms us that Governor Walker is to be present. THE death of Chief Justice Chase has led to the following bit of history as touch ing the highest judicial office in the United States, showing that no man has been pro moted directly from associate to chief jus tice of the supreme court. The first chief justice was John Jay. Whilst he was chief justice he accented the mission to England, and held both offices for a year. On his return from England ho vacated both offices and became governor of New York. John Rutledge, of South Carolina, who had been an associate justice, but re signed to become chief justice in his own state, was nominated to the chief justice ship by President Washington, but rejec ted by the senate. Tho n°_ct chief justice was Oliver Ellsworth, of Connecticut, and a senator from that state at the time (of his appointment. lie presided in the Supreme Court less than a year, and then, without resigning, accepted the French mission, and held both offices until the negotiation of the French treaty, when he resigned both. John Marshall, of Virginia, who was then secretary of state, was appointed by President Adams chief justice in January, 1801. He remained in the cabinet until the close of President Adams' administration in March of the samo year i when he took his scat on the bench and filled the position of chief justice till his death, in IS3G. President Jackson appointed Roger B. Taney'as his successor, and he filled tho position until his death in 1864, when Mr. Chase, then secretary of tho treasury, was appointed by Mr. Lincoln. Althou_-h Mr. Chase's incumbency extend ed through only eight years, he occupied tho position longer than any other of the chief justices except Marshall and Taney, whose joint terms extended through sixty four years. Thebe is no hope after all that the At lantic Ocean cable monopoly can be broken up by the Newfoundland government. It was announced, not long ago, that that government, when it granted the charter of 1854 to the the New York, Newfoundland and London telegraph company, re served the right of buying in tho franchise and equipment, at cost, in 1874, and that it would avail itself of that reservation to break up the combination and run the cable as a government line at popular rates. But it is discovered that three years after the grant of the charter tho government gave its sanction to the consolidation with the Atlantic cable, and, by so doing, has forfeited tho right of repurchase. The monopoly is threatened, however, in other quarters. A press cable has been jlW posed, and a few days ago, the New York Cotton Exchange passed resolutions in favor of having a new cable laid, and prom ised to take its stock. We publish two additional letters from the people to-day, indicating approval of the suggestions made by us some time ago in regard to the composition of our state ticket in the coming gubernatorial election. The writer of one of theso will see that the name of his favorite candidate has been stricken out by us, as his better judgment should have prompted him to strike it out himself, sinec it is mani festly the duty of the Conven tion to indicate the man for the position, and not this journal nor any correspondent who may favor us by writing for it. As the chief organ, perhaps, of the party in the state, it is our duty •to urge the proper policy to be pursued at this time ; but it is not our purpose, nor can it bo that of any other person, to [ champion the interests of would-be nomi nees through the columns of The Jour-* even on the Swiss Republic to forbid them foothold there, and now demands that tho British government prosccuto the Carlist committee in London. This com mitte has been very successful in raising money, and has been patronized with re markable fervor by tho nobility of Eng land, all of whose sympathies aro running against the Spanish Republic.
