If an im partial record of the struggle on both silica could be placed in the government ar chives, no one could liavo a right to com plain ; but even then, for future peace und quiet, such a record, in tho opinion of some, is not desirable.

Its monuments to sectional strife are even more numerous than those perpetuating tho memory of our colloidal struggle, and it will not be the fault of the degenerate sons of noble sires if they are not even more lasting.

The l.oiiisimiii <oimiiiiw<- Inter views ■ ‘resilient ©rant. The telegraph reports Yesterday af ternoon, the l'Jth, the Louisiana citlxem committee, iu accordance with a previous arrangement, through Attorney General Williams, hud uu interview with President Grunt in Ids business office at the Execu tive Mansion. The committee having been introduced to tbc President by Attorney General Williams, Judge Campbell ex plained the purpose of their coming to Washington, and gavo a brief account of tbe condition of affairs in Louisiana, in consequence of wbicb commerce has been seriously affected, trade generally so iu jured that tbe people are dismayed, and this unfavorable condition of affUrs, not only injured that Htute, hut other States having close business relutious with Louis iaua. As there was no prospect of a Just and satisfactory solution ot the present trouble by means of thiwugcncy now at work, the people, through The committee, aak that, iu this exigency, Associate Justice Hr&d ley of the Supreme Court of tbe United States and Judge Worsts of the Circuit Court of the United States, may take charge of judicial administration of the Circuit Court sitting in New Orleans. The people of that State, as represented by the committee, also ask the Executive of the United States to send to New Or leans three independent, impartial, learned and just meu to make a full inquiry into ail the facts, to take testimony and thor oughly explore the situation. They desire that all the facts bo rejsirted to tbe Presi dent. Wliut they want is a clear, exact, truthful and honest investigation into all the matter involved, aud they also ask the President to submit their memorial to Congress, together with the result of the investigation made iu the manner indi cated. This memorial conluiuod the signatures of many of the wealthiest und best men to lie found in Louisiuna, and who have the largest stake in society. President Grunt in reply said, be sup posed it wus competent for the Supreme Court to designate any one of its members to proceed to Louisiuna, but be did not think it would lie quite proper for him to make the request of them. Congress had [lower to investigate the facts in tho case presented , hut lie did not [impose to in terfere with local uffairs in that State by putting one set of officers, or unothey in pow er, although numerous telegrams, let ters aud papers say lie hud done so. No action was taken by the Administration until u decree of tho United Slate* Court was attempted to osido, or resisted by tho lost Governor of Louisiana. Then Hie United States Marshal wus simply in structed to seo that tlie decree of tho Fed eral Court was sustained and the military force w i re to he used, If necessary, to sup port the Federal authority. lie would not feci at lilicrty to make a request that Judge llradley go to New Orleans. particularly as lie is wanted here while the Court is in sen-lon , although if the Court should make tho request it would meet with his approval. Judge Campbell said tlieie was no au thority under the Constitution and laws of tho United States for a Federal Court to Interfere with the affairs of s State, such as bus taken plum in laiuisiana, and he hi ielly alluded to the decree of the Court ami its effect in seating and unseating persons el acted to office. The President, during a colloquy with Judge Campbell, said his understanding ol the subject was the Conrt lmd merely decided who were the legal eanvosssrs. and even if. as stated In the ease the Court exceeded Us authority, its decision will have to be respected, until the decision ahull he set aside by a superior Court. It would be dangerous for the President to set the precedent of iuleitcrrlng with the derisions of the Court. The committee did not nsk the President to deride anything They only asked him to investigate the matter, and to commu nicate to Congress the report of three houesl meu, selected by Idm far the purposes. The President said ho could not, with out the actiou of Congress, employ ami compensate Judge Campbell said there was to much patriotism Involved, that the gentlemen would trust to Congress for coni|>ensation. The President repeated that, without congressional authority, such committee could not administer oaths or compel the attendance of witnesses. Judge Campbell said tlic committee could communic tie with those acquainted with all lire circumstances, and, learning the facts, report tbc truth. What they wanted was a responsible inquiry, by men whom everybody knew would tell the truth. The President repeated that such scorn mlttee should have authority by law, to send for persons and papers, and examine witnesses on oath Judge Campbell asked whether the President would receive fVotn the commit tee. the law and the fircta in the case. They did not wish to go outside of them The President replied they would be ex aminod by the Attorney General. If it was thought proper to do so The committee will hold another meeting to-morrow morning The probable programme is that a sub-committed of live members will remain here iu charge of tho subject.

IN addition to the usual inconvenience which has been suffered by the public from the prevalence of the horse disease, we now see a complete blockaded condition of onr railroads and the almost total suspension of all commer cial business in onr city fur mere lack of street transportation. This unusual state of affairs suggests the want of some immediate relief, both to the railroads and the merchant Upon consultation, therefore, with the railroad au thorities and the different dray companies in the city, I hereby give notice to any and all per sons in the adjoining counties, that they are in vited and requested to bring in their ox-teams and assist us in the dray work of onr city for the next two or three weeks, at the end of which time we hope to be able to resume the horse and mule labor. Parties bringing their oxen to the city will be allowed to use them in tbe dravage of all goods FREE OF LICENSE. It is believed that twenty to thirty teams could find constant work here for several days, at good paying prices. decll tf W. A. HUFF, Mayer.
