Of cornet*, now that President Grant tin « ngivrti intervened with »tum to eustam Kellogg and liis follower*, they will once more warp aud holà the places which lliey formerly occnpied through ■the aame agency, and from which *1hey were only now expelled by the people. This is an untoward end deplorable result, but under the ctrcmnstances it was inevita ble; and indeed it wonld seem that the conservatives had looked* for it and counted npon it from the ltegmcing of their »surrectiotitt 17 effort. The President of the »United f$tat©R had issued his proclamation, and however unwise aiid unjust it wws, and whether be was drank or softer when he affixed to it his ■official signature, it must stand as law nntil revoked. There was no appeal from it tmt to arms; apd the appeal to arms would consti tute treason. The power which tW President herein exercises is one confided to him by the Con stitution of the United States. The misuse or abuse of this pow er is a natural result of the office of President beäug confided to in competent hands; but it is one for ■which there is no remedy save impeachment. The proclamation of the Presi dent was sure to be enforced, if necessary, by the entire regular ***y end by ns many thousands of militia as he might choose to call for. It would have been idle, the folly of madness itself, to nn dertake to resist it by force or to talk about resisting it. When General Robert Toombs advised the men of Georgia to resist the passage of Federal troops through that State, he only invited the hangman's rope to hisown neck No 11 I I matter how warm gad strong oor sympathy for the oppressed people of the Booth, it must cease to actuate us when we reach the point of armed collision with the soldiers of the Uoited States. We must not, under any cireurnstnn *t«neee, permit political opposition to conflict with patriotic dntv. However badly administered, the Government must be sustained in every encounter with armed resist ance. .Wo bave not been wanting in disapprobation or in denuncia tion of the mistakes, the conup tion, and the arbitrary acts of Pter ident Grant; but all the head way which has been made by the 1 ;e»sistent exposure of his blund ers and offences would be lost if «lie slightest treasonabb hue were |w*nnitted to be given to the oppo sition against him. No, there must be no resistance wlmtever to the forces ot the Fed ?*•"! government. Louisiana may be impoverished, depopulated, de Proved by the nsurping official* supported by the ctiminal acts of the Administration; and yet ail thia min not juatify treason. The very fact that such terrible wrong must be peacefully submitted to constitute «u unanswerable argu ment m favor of a change of rubra through the instrumentality of the halbe box, and not otherwise.

Cincinnati Coramer cinl, of the 18 th, summoning the opinio« of its exchanges on the Louisians coup d'etat, says : There is less difference of opinion than we had thought there would le. No sympathy is expressed for the Kellogg government. There was nothing about it to challenge ad miration. It. was incapable of comprehending the seriousness of the combination against it, and took but fe ble steps to mainta n its authority. When the storm burst upon it, it took refuge in the Customhouse and bow*ed for help to General Grant. Croquet is awful joMy at the French watering places. They become #0 absorbed that the hotel bell sometimes vainly calls them to their meals. They lose their temper iavariably; the women flush with wrath; the men call each other imbeciles and cheats; one wonders that they do wot use their mallets on each other's headt. But when the game is over, the victorious party leap, dance, roll in the «and with joy, and then claim the rewards of triumph, Damely, a kiss from every lady on both sides of the contest.

April 4, 1874 n4y Law of Newspapers. 1- Subscribers who do not give ex press notice to the contrary, are con sidered as wishing to continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discon tinuance of their paper, the publisher may continue to oend thfra until all arrearages are paid, and sulworibers are responsible for all the numbers sent. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their papers from the office to which they are directed, they alte heul responsible till they have settled their bills and ordered their papers disCon tinned. 4. Th'e courts have decided that a refusal to bike a,newspaper or periodi cal from the postoffice, without notify ing the publisher, and the payment of all arrearages, is prima facie evidence of fraud. 5. Subscribers of newspapers or peri odicals removing, are liable to pay so long as the paper or ■periodical may be sent to the residence of the party at the time of subscription, unless notice in sent of such removal to the publication office. 6. Many persons who subscribe for newspapers think that, unless the pub lisher can show tlicir mimes arc on the subscrip:ion list, they are net liable to pay even for the papers which they re ceive and take out of tlte postoffice. But law, as equity, lias decided in favor ef the publisher. . 7.
