Pinchback A Fraud

There is uot the possibility of a differeuco of opinión to shield tliem froiii oondemnation for attesting a bold falsehood. Under au act of usurpation, confessed, and proved, the odium of which ha driyen the tooi who prepared it into imfanious retirement, the whole state organization of Louisiana was seized by a United States Marshal and a squad of federal soldier in 1863 ; a GoYernor and Legislature were installed with no better warrant than a mere decree igsued by a Federal Judge, and that Legislatura - legally a mere mob - l'inchback. That is all there is of the case. A parallel for it could only be found in the North if the United Htates Judge now sitting in Milwaukee should get drunk to-night, and in the secrecy of his own chamber, put bis name to an order directing the Uuited States Marshal to disperse the Legislature at MadiBon, dispose the Govunor, and install Tylor and the defeated Democratie legislativo candidatos. If the reader can imagine so preposterous a doeree at this, iBsued without plea, argument, or hearing of the ousted parties ; and imagine further that the Marshal, backed by Federal bayonets, would actually enforce tha order, and that the people of Wisconsin, powerless to suocessfully resist the atrooity, should resist it f rom time to time by riotoua deinonstration, hu will have an exact idea of the events and situation in Louisiana, and of the "election" to which Morton wishes to give an nppearance of legal sanction, by admitting Pinchback to a seat id the Heuato.
