IIXCOIXTOX, X. SATURDAY, : : MAY 17, 1873. DETIOULTIES DT L01TISIAHA. The difficulties in Louisinana have brought about bloodshed and civil war. A brief history of the contest is necessary to enable our readers to fully understand the situation of af fairs in that State. ' . In November, 1872, the election for State Officers and -Legislators took place, and held at the same time that the Presidential election was held. 3IcEnery was the Greeley candidate for Governor and wns the different parishes or counties in the State returned a majority for McEne ry, and also, a majority Of' Democrats as elected to the Legislature. Gover nor "Warmouth and . his Examining Board issued certificates of election to McEnery " and the Democratic and Republican members, returned by the Judges of- Election1 The forms of laws had so far been complied with ; but the Kellogg party improvised an other Examining Board, and took the sworn-affidavits of some four thou-- sand voters in the State, to the effect that they were not allowed to vote by the Judges of Elections These cer tificates were counted, and the result elected Kellogg Governor and give his party a majority in the Legisla ture. : Both Governors were installed into office,' -and both Legislatures con vened. - At this juncture of affairs, a Circuit or District Court Judge of the United States, (Durell) on tho appli cation of Kellogg, sustained the Kel logg party, and under his orders, the Marshal, backed by the United States troops, dispersed the McEnery Legis lature. McEnery then issued a proc lamation to his party, and the people of the State to organize and resist the collection of taxes. H - --f IIIMI'i HII II I ordered the offiptff in comra TT!i.J .(-? i AT. . -"V u nitea oiaiesrorces m omw uneasy to enforce tie orders of the District Uniisd States Judge. This was a an or- blunder of the President, and der illegally given and executed, be cause it is settled that the Courts of the United States have no jurisdiction of such r questions. In the case of Luther vs. ,Borden, which grew out of the Rhode,, Island rebellion in 1842, the Supreme Court of , the United States decided that such questions are political entirely, and that the Judi- ciary of the. United States have no jurisdiction of them. The decision then of Judge Durell was an usurpa tion ; the dispersion of the McEnery legislature, by force, a crime, and the orders of the President an egregious blunder. The President has no pow er to interfere in the domestic difficul ties of a State, unless there is an in surrection against the Government of the State, and then, he can only do so "upon the application of the Legisla ture of the State, or, of the Governor, if the Legislature cannot be con vened." , This is the Constitution of the United States. There had been no sucti call made when the President dispersed the Legislature, or per mitted the troops to do it. He Vio lated the Constitution and deserves censure for the act. This being a po litical question, it is left by the Con stitution of the United j States with Congress, to recognize which is the true Government in such cases, and by an Act of Congress in 1795, this power is delegated to the President. The Louisiana difficulty was brought before the Senate of the United States,' a.CCtmiiutteaofLjimQWfi by that boay to investigate it, eviuence was taken by both sides, and after hearing all the testimony, the Com-I mittee unanimously reported, except Morton, of Indiana, that the Kellogg Government was an usurpation and without a shadow of right. . When thits report was made, the President called on the Senate to settle the dispute and notified them that if they ad-j journed without acting, that he would recognize that Government that the; State Courts decided to be the true Government. Here the President placed himself on the track of thej Constitution and adopted the doctrine announced in the Rhode Island case byj the Supreme Court of the United States. But there was a cover in this. The McEnery Legislature being dis-! pcrsed, the Kellogg Legislature rc-j modeled the Courts, filled these offices with their own creatures, obtained decisions to suit their purposes, anct thus enabled the President, under the appearance of law, knowled usurpation. to uphold an ac- An English View of the Condition of the I South. - it The London Standard of a recent date contains one of the most thoughtful -and well digested articles on the condition of the Southern States that ij, has been our fortune to read in ma ny a day. We re gret that our space doi.s not permit us to publish it in full. The fol owing extract forms the concluding ortipn of the arti cle, and will well repa; r perusal : The forces of the Fe leral Government have been at the disposition of the pecu lators and jobbers from the Nortfl, who exploit the negroes for their own benefit All remonstrance has becji in vain. It was as easy as it was uicless to exjose the injustice, to foreshadoU the effects of such a policy. The Radical majority in .Con gress cared neither for the! injustW nor consequences, so lond as they profit by the one and the Southerners "suffered by the other. They maintained and aggra vated a tariff which cojnipes the Sjuhern planter or farmer to pay twice the,value of everything he buyfc--tabces himj that is, to the full extent of his proper yearly outlay on implements, clothing, every thing necessary to his' cultivation, r5t for sonatadvaTitaerormeTadeT manuiacturera. anow tnem tnat tnis is - . ruin to the South, and they are fltt the better pleased ; for hqstility to the South ern people is the avowed policy of4 their party. I Gallant and high-spirited nations have been misgoverned before now. Hun- fary and Venetia were ill-ruled after 1849, ut at least their rulers have intended them to prosper if they would but be con tented. But never before! has a nation been governed as the South has been governed since 1865, by rulers yhose avowed object is to punish and injure them ; never before have rubers beimthe open enemies of the country they ruled. It is in vain, of course, to appeal to such a faction' against the folly of their course. But we might hav thorighj that those who had no selfish end to gaiiXJtnust have seen that every objeiet, we do not say inherently good, but decently plausi ble, must suffer by such a policy. Grant that the, welfare of the negro is of indefi nitely more moment than that of the white man grant that it is right to sacri fice the latter as completely as may be necessary for the elevation of the formei' grant more than the wildest of negrObhile fanatics would dare to cUim is u not clear that to embitter the jptrong against the weak, the larger number againsE the smaller, the higher race against the low er, must end m the ruin t the letter ? The present state of things cannot last forever, and every year that it lasts aiakes the change more dangerous to the h creatures who are made the tools op- pression and injustice. A time must come When the tyranny and jobbery of the carpet-baegrer. the ruin of the richest part of the Union under their rul will disgust American common! sense : Swhen negro ascendancy will seem a wo V f thing than the completest amnesty to rebels; and then the whole fabric of Republican iPcnrtiGm will nrn m rf in a ri o -r n l. 1 - houtnern people be once more m ,ueir own iare. naa tnat mastery rln fhnm Ln Lfifi thin nnir ' have been safe. Thev wrere I heart il ling to accept emancipation, and i they would have known how to work it.1 Then the negroes still looked up their firmer masters, and the latter felt l indly tiward their former servants. , Now the servants have been taught insolence and the mas ters have learnt a but too just resentment, and when the hour of retri mtion comes, and the natural balance of power is res tored, it will be too late to restore a health ful state of mutual relations. The negro has been rendered unmanageableland the white man distrustful ; the object df the South ern people will be rather to do without the negroes than to do the best with them, and when once that holicy comes to bo tried, it is the eerpiiri "ruin of the inferior race. With tho9e who fancy a negro and an Anglo-Saxon . population can either amalgamate or live'side by side as equals,. we need not reason. Men who draw their opinions on such l ubjects, from experience and from nature, and not from their own inner consciousness, entertain no such dreams. If the two races are, to co-exist, the white man must be chief and and negro subordinate ; the brain of the white must direct the labor of the black ; the first of human races mjust rule, the lowest of human races must - be rpled. And if the anomaly of the ascendency , of the inferior is so protracted that thef res toration of the natural relation becomes impossible, the result cannot! be douMfnl. Anglo-Saxons can do without negroe-l, but negroes -cannot hold their pwn against Anglo-Saxons any more than theyi can permanently be permitted tcj keep $ome of the fairest regions of the earth j-aste and unproductive for lack of Anglo-S xon enterprise ; and that honest industry of which all inferior races seem capablef un der our direction, but of which, hitherto, the negro has been fonnd capable only on the one condition of absolute slaf cry. Slavery is gone forever; it remain to find a new condition under which negro labor may be made available if the negro is not to perish. The Southern Statel of fored the fairest chance of solving that problem ; but the spite : and greed of an unscrupulous faction, and the mad at- tempt to invert the order of nature, 'pre vented the trial of the experiment linen it could have been tried under every (pos sible advantage ; and the longer these in fluences remain in operation, the lless chance is there of ultimate success.

Our able cotemporary, the Wilmington Journal usually so accurate in its informa tion, contains a material error iju its issue of Tuesday, whieh is calculated o mislead persons contemplating, bankrup cy. Speaking of the bankrupt's exjemptions, under the late Act of Congress, the Jour nal says: "And all of his property is con verted info money by his assignee in bankruptcy, except two thousai d dollars worth of real estate at gold valu and one thousand dollars worth of pers mal pro perty at same value, and five hundred dollars worth of household and kitchen furniture, &c." , j The above is doubtless taken jfrom one of the JournaVs Greorgia exchanges, as the exemptions specified are alio wet i in, that State, but not in North Carolina, Among the exemptions allowed by the last biinkrupt Act of Congress are the homestead exemptions in thi several States, and consequently in this State the exemptions allowed by article tenth of our State Constitution are set apftrt by the assignee for the bankrupt's bentjfit, name ly, one thousand dollars worth of real es tate, and five hundred dollars worth of personal property. 1 . Congress has power to pass $ uniform bankrupt law ; but we cannot undertake to say whether that authority has been abused or transcended in the late Act, allowing to each State its respective homestead : exemptions. Certaijily these exemptions are not uniform. It will be curious to examine the differ ent exemptions of the several itates. If we add the five hundred dollaifc exemp tion allowed by the general bankrupt law to the value of the homesteaq exemp tions, real and personal, in each jState, we find the total exemptions as follows: Maine, $2,000 ; New Hampshire, $1 ;.00 ; Vermont. SI .500 : Massachusetts. S2.000: Rhode Island, $750 ; Connecticut, $1,400; New York, $2,500; New Jersey, $1,900; Pe hnsy 1 van i a $800iDela wa r:.-; "T ' Delaware, NiOO : Marv lina, $2,000 ; South.

A bankrupt's discharge, in the absence of fraud, is good against all debts contract ed before the first day of January 1, 1869.
