A remedy for his wrongs i8 all but unattainable, Ho'is & martyr to the good Intentions of bis fellow-citizens.. Troops stationed in Nashvillo have been or- dored to New Orlesns, and sll the availablo forces in tho South will be concentrated at the samo point, The chances are, of couree, that Gon. Grant bas not yot mado up bis mind as to tho recent contlict, aud the proper couige for him to pursue in view of it; butit will be ob- gorved that Lo has done nothing to preclude the eatoblis! ~ent of s military rule in tho State, aud its maintonanco until the saseembling of Congress next December. R. H. Marr, Cholrman of tho Citizons® Com- mittee iu New Orloans, hos addreseed o dispatch to Tue Tmnusg, which appears in another column, setting forth tho present aspect of affairs in Louisians, He avors that tho McEnery Govornment ig fully organized throughout tho State; and that peace, good order, and perfoct confidence provail. Tnue ropresentations of Mr. Marr aro supportort by indopondent teatimony. Tho rovolution plsinly has'not been confiued to Neow Otleans. Every town and village of tho State has witnossed a political overturning. If tho National Administration undertakes £o ro- store tho old order of things, it must sond an army, not a fow deploted regiments, toLouisiana, and roconquer the State, town by town. The Republican Convention in Tennessco yes- torday wttacked tho civil-rights question, and at Iast ncconnts was gotting mucl the worst of tho encounter. The Aesociated Press agont at Chat- tanoogn takes tho responsibility of eaying thot the colorcd members of the Convention do not caro for mixed schools or soclal equality, but morely insist on cqual accommodations in cars, Totols, and steamboats, matter. Tepublicans, thoy aremora ronsouable than coni- mouly reported, and onght to Lo gratified. Tho Arkansas Republican Convention, at Lit- tlo Rook, adjourned yesterdsy, having douo nothing but overwhelm tho lacal prints with ad- drasses and resolutiona of inordinato longth and dubious import. The recent Coustitutional Con- vention wns declared not valid bocauso it was not provided for in the cld Covstitution,~—~which train of rensoning, we imagine, can bo exploded by the average school-boy in tho North without much exertion, Tho Tepublicans of Arkaunsas say that they expect Congressional interforenco in the affairs of their Stato; aud a careful poruesl of thelr documents and rosolutions, ag reported by telograph, leads to the conclusion that thoy are week-minded onough to oxpect almost unything. —————r——— The probable candidates of tho Opposition party in tho First and Third Illinois Districta xro fraely montioned by tho politicions, aud, within tho last dsy or two, thore hus beon somo ngree- ment of sontiment.

Tho ovent proved that they were Injudi- cious and in questionnblo tasto. "ho majority in the Convention, we boliove, clocted Prof, Seymour on tho understanding that ho will tako up the work of tho dlocese and corry it on in the general direction poluted out by Bishop Whitebouse, with the pure motives and penetrating judgment for which tho lato Bishop was distinguished. ‘Wo hiava recolved tlio ofiicial fine-art entaloguo of tho Cincinnati Exposition, wiich 18 published in very handsomo sbapo, sud in this respock should furaish somo valuablo bints to our own Art Committeo. In addition to tho st of piotures, it contnius o complote direotory of tho artists roprosonted and the pricos of all pictures which play of paintings is undoubtedly the finest, and largor by noarly 200 pictures. The citizens of Cinclonati who bave privato galleries have loaued a groat many works which have been saen there baforo, and thero are many pletures in thelr eatalogue which aro old customers here, In polnt of engravings thoy far excel us, having a collection of over 200 choico onos, represcut~ ing, in chronological order, the progress of tho art from tho fourteenth century down to the prosent time. They also bave a lang list, several hundred in number, of objects of liouschold art, such ag raro china, pottory, asud bric-n-brao, of which wo havo nothing. Comparing tho two catalogues, our citizens bave overy reason to congratulate thomsol ves upou tho extent aud the { excelleuce of thoir gallery, Tho fssuing of the writ of injnnction against the Chicago & Northwestorn and Mibwaukeo & 8t. Paul Reilways la couditional upon the dismisgal of tho quo warranto suits brought by the Atiornoy-General of Wiscousin, in Juno last, to vacate the charters of tho corporations mamod. For vory evideut regsons, thoss suite wore not pressed to trisl. Their termination in favor of tho Btate might have doprived Wiscoasin of thousoof over 1,300 miles of railroad. Thatis arosultnotdesived by any one. Wo understand that this was freoly admitted during tho recont hearing of tho iu- Junction casos, whou the State suthorities wore charged with intoutional delay in not pressing tha guo warranto suits to trial. Tho cases havo beon contiuued until tho January term of tho Supromo Court, but thero is no doubt as to their being dismissod befora tho 1et prox., as raquired by the terms of tho lste decision, Leave is graoted tho defendants in the injunction suit to move for an oxtonsion of timo; but, as they aro anxious to have final judgmont en~ terad in ordor to appeal tho case to the United States Supreme Court and socuro a hearing noxt torm, further deloy will not bo asked, and the iujunction will take effoct on Oct. 1. Tho oX~ omption of the Prairie du Chien line from the operation of tho injunction is to bo made the subject of a luture hearing, when it is ot im- probable the writ will be made to include tliat division. Otberwise, being beyond tho roach of a1l Stato logislatiun, it would be in position to become the groatost of ail monopolics, PUBLIC OPINION ON LOUISIANA. Tho rovolution in Loulsiana has been fol- lowed, or rather accompanied, by a revolution in public opluion, Whon the first dispatelies came, rumors of wauton massacre filled tho air. Many porsons supposed that tho torriblo White Loague was murdoring tho vegroes, and that the dreaded are forsalo. Judging from tho catalogues, our dis~ raea-conflict hiad really como at lset. Tho pub- lic, ovor hasty in its flrst conclusions, moemed inclinod to demazd Fedoral interforonce in bo- biolf of the usurper Kellogg. As moro correob roports aszivod, popular opinion rapidly ehanged. It was soon apparent that the solid men of New Orlenns woro leading the movemout, and that tho Hborating army was no mob of riff-rafl, but o disclplined forco of carncel, honost men— lousoholders aud fathers of talo of riot or rapine disfigured the ro- Tho citizon-militin dlspersed in good order the moment that the usurpation was over- ro- thrown, Ina fow hours, New Oulenns was at poace, and the men who bnd accomplished the work hiad resumed thelr avoeations, Tho ofilcors olocted by the pooplo in 1873 wero everywloro instolled, and Loulsinna was redeomed. Safo from all interual disturbance, sho has only Fod« eral interforonce to foar, ‘When'it was known that this was the truo story uf the conflict, public opinion was sudden- ly changed. Publlo oplnion to-day, judged by tho uayings of prees and peoplo, inollues to tho viow that the ost thing the Nauomal Govern- mont oan do fs to lot well emough alona. It in argued that awce Mo Euory i mow the de faclo Govornor, and sinco ovorsbody kuows that ko is tho Governor de jure, and would have boen duly installed u 1872 hd not » corrupt Judgo {nterfored with the popular will, {t 1 botter to loave Loulsiana lu the possossion of hor rightful authoritios than to agaln faston the chaius of usurpation upon bor. The cheers of tne Fodoral troops for the Now Oileans army of froedomn hiave found an eolio in the North, What Pronfdent Grant intouds to do {s known only to bimself, and porhaps ho does not know, The order to Gen, Emory lssncd yostorday, com- manding bimnot fo vecoguizo tho * insurganta ™ for the presont, does not moau anything in par~ tioular, Tho uayof tha word * inwurgont * would soom to indloato that, in the ond, tho MoEnery Governmout will bo ousted. Dut we should Judge from tho slow and balting stops tnken 8t Washington that [t la not contomplated to rontoro Xollogg by force. If again placed in powoer by Fadoral bayouots, he would probably, in tho presont tomper of tho people st Now Orloans, Lo assnseiunted. Botwoon restoring him by military force and loaving tho MeEnery Govérnmont in power, there {s only ono courso to pursuo, snd that ia to put tho Bfate under military government, and for this thoro Is nolaw, Unloss spoedy aotion of somo sort is taken, the difloulty of doing auytbing will bo groatly onhanced, for caoh day that the MeEnory Govornmont romaing in force will root it moro fiauly in tho good opinion of the North, unless it shoutd bo tarnished by somo act of violonco and cruclty to tho blaoks, of which thoro scems to be no probubility, Meanwhilo, it would be intorosting to kuow what Sonator Morton, tha great champlon of tho Kellogg usurpation, thinka of the presont posture of ailaira, MORRILL ON RECIPROCITY. Tho Hon, Justin 8. Morrill, United States Son- ator from Vormont, reoently addrossed tho Agri- cultnral Socioty of that State, He started out by claiming that our freo institutions could only be presorved by malntaining tha ascondency of ag- rlenltural intorests, and Lo thon uttored tho fol- lowing Morrilliam : +T0 induce mon to ombark And romain in_the pur- sult of agriculture, it has seemed to mo btter to Ae- curo for it Lomo market by protection to maunfac- turos, rathor than 0 wasto one-balf or wore vn loug Journoys 4n pursult of custamors,” sto, This ratherstranga way of eucouraging mon to engogo and remain in sgrloulturo by taxtng thom to support persons not engaged in i, may ‘be understoad in Vermant, but is nat appreciated in tho entiro agricultural class. In 1870, after ton years' vigorous protection under theXMorrill tariff, the population of Vormont. was 880,661,~au incroase in tho precediog tou yonts of 16,493, or less than ono-Lalf of 1poraent per sunum, Of this jnorense no Joss than 14,412 wore persons of foreign birth, brought thither to work In the factories. In Addison, Grand 1sle, Orange, Washington, Windham, and Wind- gor Counties, the populntion sctually docreased, —tho tueronse all being in tho citics and towns protected by Mr, Morrill's tariff, In the whola Btato thete woro 57,983 persons ougaged in egriculturo, and about as many moro in other pursuits, so that agriculture, which s taxed about one-third of ite products for the support of the othor indusirice of the Btate, canuot be soid to be either encouraged or promoted by the tavift, Mr. Morrill made it a point to tell his con- stituents that ho was opposed to and would not vote for the proposed treaty for reciprocsl trade with Cannda, Ho mado spocial objections to the admission of Canada wool, and Canads slate and building material, In tho oaso of wool, ho says : « Thoy [the Canadisns] want o forelgn market [for wool], but wo want apd must keep our own or abandon shoop-husbandry.” Now how has tho exclusive ** home maiket " benefited shoop- husbandry in Vermont ? In 1870, otter ton years of au exorbitaut waal tariff, the number of sheop in that Stato compared with 1860 stood thus : No. of shee) Touuds of wool, Intheton yoars the number of sheepin tho State had largoly declined, sud the wool clip was less than under tho free-trado tariff of 1857, As tha pricea of wool are no greater now than in 1800, shoep-husbandry has actuslly suffored o honvy deoline under Ar. Morril's tariff among bis own neighbors. Nor haa protoation struck sheep-husbandry alone, It as reached othor i~ toroats of the farmurs of that Stato, as tho fol- lowing compariton will show: 1800, 09,011 Working oxen 42,039 Other cattle. 253,144 014 ,215,050 ‘Fhoro was, to offset thia wholosalo docline in the kive stock and dairy products of the Stato, au increase of 2 per cent in ten years in tho number of miloh cows, axd an tncrease of 5 per cont in the amount of butter produced. In all clse tho farmers of Vermont lave felt, in com- mon with the farmers of tho country, the crush- ing, killing woight of the tarlf loviod upon them to support othor industrion, Binco tho abrogation of the Reciprocity Troaty with Cunada, the Cauadiau producls imported into tho Uaited Statea have largely jucressed. Ilow far tho tfarif oxcludes forcign wools from cowpotition with - our own may bo judged by tho fact that tho importa~ tion of wools, whick iu 185 was only $0,720,~ 059, in 1872 amounted to §27,438,281. Tho Amoxioan peoplo prosent tho singular spectacle of voluntarily excluding their wool from sl other ‘markets than their own, where thoy aro obliged 1o tako what {e offored for it, and of importing tho wool and woolen cloth of other countrios in annually-incroased quantities, to make their own clothing. For this, which ia callod protection, they tux thomsclves on all thoy wear to tho.ox- tont of 50 por cent. MIr, Morill claims that, it tho Raclprocity Treaty with Cavada bo renowed, Canadisn wool will como into the Uuited Btates. But it comea now. Tho duty doos not keop it out any moro than it keeps out the wool ot other countries. In 1872 thers was B0 per coot moro wool imported from Canada into tho United States than was clipped 10 tho wholo State of Vormont, Tho question ot reciprogity is, whothor we will re- celve that wool, which will come anyhow, at 60 or 60 per cont loss, and pay for it fn our own goods, or whether wo will tax oursclves that mush under the delusion that we are theroby ou- couraging sheop-husbandry at homo? Sountor Morrill points out what ho considors a griovous oppresgion in the present laws of Can- ady, which fmnpose & duty of 10 per cont on all ten imported from the United Btates, This s Lold up as Instanco of tho hoatilo eplrit of the Caundians to any trado with tho United States, Comiug from Mr, Morxill, it is espocially unfair and {noxcusablo. Ifeis tho author of tho pres- ont tariff systom of this country, and overy tarilt Inw enacted sinco ho unfortuustely was put in charge of tho aubject Las contained a olauso line posing o duty of 10 per cont oxtra on all goods produoed eust of the Capo of Good Ifopo, une leas importod direct to tho Unitod Statos—that is, without trausshipment, That has beon a distingulshivg featuro of tho Amorlcan tarlft since 1861, aud i iutonded to oncourago direct teado with the countries whoro tho mrticlos ave produced. Canada admlits ton freo of duty, aa wo do, when imported dlrect from Oblua or Jupan; and Imposes, a8 wo do, = duty of 10 por cont when tho artiole is imported second-hand from somo other country. Mr, Morrlll now miakes thia very foature of - his owa tarlff s polnt upon which to arralgn the pooplo of Cauads as hoattlo to trado Jelations with tho United Btatos, Tho Senator nppareutly mouras for the timo whou our farmars will only produce enough to food thomuelven and nolghboray whon the mante facturora will awap boots and shoes, and oloth, 1 and wagons for flour, ¢ora, and potatoos; whon wo shall hava nothing to soll aud nathing to buy, aud gonorally onjoy tho oxcluston, tranquillity, peaco, harmongy, sloth, and contontmont of thosa nntions which bave no intorcourso with the out~ sido world. And muoh aro tho statosmon 6f tho dsy who undortako to inatrucs farmors ou quos- tiona of political economy. THE RELIGIOUS CONVENTIONS, Although this {s not the season of tho year for roliglous conventions, two notablo Convontions aro in sosslon, in addition to tho Eplscopal gath- aring in Ohicago—tho Universalist Gonoral Con- vention nt Now York City and the Unitarian Na- tional Conforonce at Huratogs, Omnoof tho ‘most romarkablo fontures of the formor donom- ination 1a tho fact that during 1t hundrod yoars of oxiatonod it has probavly contributod mors, nceording to its ability, for educational purposea than any other donomination, It haa over 500 noclotios, with four colleges and many prosper- ous uchools, Lnlt-a-dozon roligious newspapors, and o quarterly magazino, Tho Unitarians, on tho othor hand, although they can boast much of tho bost soholarship ot tho countty, bave but be- twoon 800 aud 400 sooiotios, two thoological sobools, two nowspapers, s monthly magazive, and no college, nlthough their theological mode of thought is supposod to inepiro Harvard Col- loge, and they bave strong sympathies with two or thres other prominent colloges. Tho proceediogs of these two bodies are po- culinrly intorealing, as thoy roprosent tho liberal thought and liboral theology of the country. Tho Unitarian denomination lorgoly compilucs tho best schiolarship of tho conntrv; and yot it doos not progress, partly beoause tho very ten- douvy of 1s oxtremo liberality is to causo dofeo- tions from the mnin body, and partly becauso it does not ongago in missionary effort or propa- roudisin of any sort. It is a roligion of tho li- brary, of thought and theory—a rotiglon roc- ognizing acionce and ity dovelopmants, consorv- ativo, and aristocratic. It atands to-day botweon orthodoxy on the ouo band and soience, s 10p- rosonted by Huxtoy, Tyndall, snd Bpencer, on tho othor, with a leaming towards tho lattor. An able and cloquent discourso by the Rov. Robere Collyor, which waa printed in tho last iscuo of Tus Towuxe, upon the “ Opon-Heaven Hera- aftor,” is a8 forciblo s presentation of its great sohiool of morals as has yoi boon made. MNMr, Collyor sums up the Herenftor as follows : Hereafter, not mercly as o hope, butss o reality ; aud not » quality of thie soul aloue, but of the whole man and manhood, That Hoereafter which gathiers to its beart all thut hing beon, and fe, aud will bo; the sead-time, and sumuner, ond barvest ; tho birth, aud life, and doath, .and what comes after deatd, in this world, of alt wo havo said and done § tho way of God with us hore, Which gives sucl worth to this world and lifo that it {e s foolish and vain to cry down tho presentoxistonceo in tho interest of another, as it wonld. ‘be, by comparison, for that man fo Western Now York whioso land I saw plantod thlck swith roscs, to deaplso the plauts which bring him tbls summer a woalth of fine easeuce, bocause thoy ara rootod In compost and 8ot about with thorns, This may not be the golution of a problem in theology, but it is the solution of 's groat problom of humasity, and its manliness. sym-~ pathy, kindliness, and purity will commend Uni- tarianism in diroctions §¢ bas not before trav- orsod. It is lotting down somewhat the pride of colture snd scholurly rotinoment, and appealing moro- directly to humanilty. This Conference may not suggest any practical plans for tho sprond of Unitarisnism by the machinery com- mon to other donominntions, such a8 rovivals, and misslonary crusades, and individaal appeal aud labor, but iz has nevertheless sont out a stirring appeal to humanity, and manifested & great sud sll-abounding charity, whick will goften the nsporities which other donomi- nations bave folt towards it, ,and perhaps sug- geat that man wauts something beaides ¢ onto- logical and pre-tpmporal ™ lelp and conaolation for his spiritunl nature. If, a8 all tho signs in- dicate, liboral thought ia leavening the whole thoologiesl lump, this denomiuation, which has ‘been at a stand-still 80 lony;, may yot have an important part to plsy in- the reconciliation of science and religion.
