When conspirators are foiled in tbeir plots upon the very eve of success, when their leaders have folded their telescopes and gleefully announced that victory is such a time to be checked by the irresistible baud of right, armed with the law, may expect them to wax wroth, assume an air of virtuous indignation, aud rail out in unmeasured terms against the officers and ministers of justice.

The opinions rogues entertain of the law at the moment the halter begins to tighten nround their necks has been embodied into a proverb. Or, if they do not break out into open railing, they put on a 1'odsiiappian air of superiority, and think by one wave of the hand to consign all their enemies to obscurity. The example of the Times at this juncture is a most unhappy mixture of the turbulent and in sidious. It assumes the former character when it assails Judge Durell for ren dering a decision which no honest man could avoid arriving at the recent litigation, in calling upon all "freemen" to resist the process of the court. The insidious style is employed to explain that this resistance would be iu no sense a defiance of the authority of the United States.

In other words, Judge Durell, an associate judge oi the United States Circuit Court, is not authorized to speak in the name of the sovereignty of the nation. The Times, a much higher judicial tribunal, has interposed its authority without being asked, and granted to all the parties named iu the injunction some sort of a writ which operates as a supersedeas. Such impudence aud contempt of proper authority merit punish merit, though we suppose the insignificance of the offender will be likely to shield him from its infliction. And what are the grounds upon which the Times proceeds to array the personal character of the judge, and teach its deluded readers that ho does not speak with the authority of the nation. No longer ago than the latter part of last week, the same paper could not find words strong enough in which to commend Judge Durell to "this people." Every device of flattery was employed, afl the honeyed words at hand were marshaled into service by that venal, corrupt and hypocritical paper to hold up the judge as an object of admiration for his many shining qualities.

His high sense of justice, his profound knowledge of the law, his patience to hear counsel, and his ability to sift and weigh evidence were paraded in fulsome and high sounding paragraphs. He then was wise, he is now maudlin; ho then was incorruptible and fearless, he is now influenced in his official conduct by the hope of promotion. Iu any journal of credit such a complete change of sentiment upon such short notice would excite amazement. But those who know the Times feel no amazement. They only feel curious to know what scheme of villainy has been defeated so stir up its impotent wrath.

We will tell them: Ever since the election the leading fusionists have been concocting a nefarious scheme to cheat the Republicans out of the fruits of the victory woa by them on the fourth of November. Assuming to speak iu the name of 1: this people," the Times has been foremost in telling them what they want, whom they shall have for rulers, how they all voted, and how it can be made to appear that the minority outvoted the majority. Those who voted for the fusion ticket are designated by the flattering title of honest citizens, freemen, and all the usual appellations employed by demagogues when they are about to perpetrate some fraud upon the public, while tlie Republicans are denominated as Customhouse conspirators and their tools, ignorant and corrupt negroes, and knaves generally. All the honesty was with the fusionists, aud all the knavery on the other side. Now it was shown during the late election that the Republicans cast about 18,000 more votes than their opponents could muster.

But such a result did not suit the honest souls whose interest laid in their friends obtaining control of the State government. It was feared 4ie board of returning officers appointed by law would make some unpleasant inquiries into the manner in which the returns of the election had been confided. It was a work which could not bear the light, and any means, how. v. desperate, must be resorted to to prevent such a calamity.

Accordingly a pretended returning board was set up on whom the highest hopes were built bv the Tim' the fusion candidates and their honest followers, of all degrees. But the were not willing to see their rights taken away from them In such a manner, and they questioned the right of this new board to act. Before the impartial scan of the law the pretended returning officers vanished away, like guilty things, and of no more. This device failing, they erected another board, under the pretended authority of a law passed since the election, which shared the fate of their predecessors. Iu the meantime, however, all the real parties to the original fraud (tbe two tended returning boards were merely their went on with th, busim ssef "tabulating" the returns iu A disregard and contempt of the orders of thcourt, and published the sesult of then refusing believe the hoocl8 iu the fusie j.preventing the supposititious 1 6 11 a set of Cover a ei ilovvu to coils ftl It? or tier.

Li li; the Ox-tie aud seventy thousand voters of this State, aud up itself as a common scold.

TUc Circuit Court has aofc passed upon the case of a single contestant for office. That tribunal faithfully interpreted and followed the State law, and threw its ample protection around the chosen ministers, on whom devolved the duty of counting the votes and declaring the result of the election. Judge Durell is not responsible for the manner iu which the freemen of this State have exercised their right to vote. The returning officers were bound to decide in favor of the most votes. And if the party is defeated in whose interests the Times has flattered and scolded by turns, has compiled impossible statements of election returns and sworn to them until it almost believes in their accuracy, has slandered and vilified tbe people and misled its own credulous friends, it merely shows that that journal has been found on the wrong side as usual.

It is wrong in its political advice, delusive in the information it furnishes its readers, false in its professions of reform, scandalous in its attacks upon worthy and upright judge and incendiary in its advice to treat lawful authority with contempt. DEFEAT OF WELL LAID SCHEMES, Yesterday was one fraught with notable events in the history of this State. Men who had conspired together for the purpose of disorganizing one of the branches of the General Assembly by ousting the legally elected members and admitting persons to their seats who have no shadow of a right to the place, saw their plans foiled and their unholy conspiracy melt rapidly away before the steady, unflinching integrity of the Lieutenant Governor, assisted by the faithful Senators who remained true to their oaths of office and their obligations to their duty. The skirmishing of Messrs. McMillen, Campbell and others, in their impotent attempts to save their falling scheme, proved to be of no more effect than the efforts of a handful of guerillas in an artillery fight.

Their protests were noisily shouted out to unheeding ears. Their whole plans were known, and their frantic struggles were vain. The announcement of Governor Pinehback that he had received a midnight visit from two distinguished leaders in the revolutionary movement, and his indignant rejection of their $50,000 and promise of offices, if he would sell out his friends and his race, fell with crushing and paralyzing force upon his hearers. The guilty ones were dumbfounded, the honest Senators were amazed. This proffer of a bribe is the crowning infamy of a long series of questionable practices by which it was hoped the control of this State could be wrested from the hands of the legally elected representatives of the people and handed over to the ring of corrupt and desperate men who have inaugurated the fusion movement, and by a succession of shameless frauds in every stage of the canvass so nearly achieved success.

Beginning with the stale trick of fraudulent naturalization then proceeding with all the tricks that ingenuity could devise to cheat in the registration; then stuffing ballot boxes, and then finally manipulating the returns of the election, they so wound the folds of fraud, strengthened by the exercise of unlawful power, around the throats of the people that they were already powerless, and would have been entirely subdued but for the timely interference of the federal authority. All this rascally business has been done in the name of honesty and reform. The people have been flattered with delusive promises of retrenchment and just rule, until they have almost surrendered up their whole interest as well as their reason to as graceless a set of scamps as ever lived for their private gain. Happily the danger is past. The conspiracy has been unmasked, and stands before the community in all its deformity, and its chief conspirators exposed with their tools in their hands.

We hope this most unhappy episode in our history will prove a warning to all people, white or black. It should teach them to beware of those who invent falsehoods against others in order that they may receive benefits by the defeat and punishment of innocent parties; that Len ambitious men, bring general actuations against a whole party the leading fusionists have against the Republicans, without being able to prove them, their motives are bad, and their hopes wicked. Another thing should be remembered in, this connection: It should not be.lost sight of that such stupendous frauds can committed, such invented and published from day today, such scandalous assaults upon the character of all high and low. rich and poor, whether in official position or private who refuse to join in and aid the conspiracy without connivance and assistance from a very large number of the people. Those who admit a lying into their families daily, assist in the circulation of falsehood.

They support it with their money nnd popularize it by tolerating it. while it, in urn. misleads them and teaches their hildren to lie. Such a journal should he huunod by the father of a family hwould avoid a pest. But of well ming.

No better proof of the wisdom and statesmanship of the enforcement law could possibly have occurred than the painful necessity'which has just arisen in our own Skjte for its execution. That such an occasion should have found the bench of the United States Circuit Court filled by a clear headed and firm hearted man.

is a cause of self-gratulation to every good citizen. Under the- specious name of reform, but in reality with view of wresting the political power of the State from those to whom it rightfully belongs, the majority being of a class whose lack of political experience seemed to encourage such a project, a conspiracy has been hatching for a year past, which no power short of that wielded by the United States government would be strong enough to defeat; and to which even that would not be equal, were a weak, dull or corrupt man in Judge Durell's place. For, against weakness has been arrayed the strength of that element in our midst which before the war monopolized political power, during the war made political sentiment, and since the war has struggled incessantly to regain its former influence; against dullness, the keenest of legal acumen, sharpened to even more than its ordinary penetration by the friction of self-interest; and against venality a prodigality of corruption nnequaled save in the case of the desperate political gamester who risks his all to save himself from ruin. All these forces, however, though wielded by a spirit of unparalleled audacity, have been powerless against one who, to intrepid stability unites a legal sagacity fully equal to that of the brightest among the counsel for the conspirators, and a majestic incorruptibility which has disarmed them of their heaviest weapon. They dared not even attempt its use.

In making the accusation of an intimidation, we do not mean a direct attempt, but that mean, underhand method of egging on the desperate and irresponsible, and of calling attention to the danger of assassination or mob violence, which attains its object without risk to the inciters. This would not be tbe first time in our history that people too "respectable" to engage personally in acts of outrage or assault, have been known in seasons of public excitement to incite others to them, to rejoice in their performance, and to plead extenuation the hypocritical pretense that "the boys were uncontrolable." All danger of this sort is now, we believe, happily over; the power of the United States to enforce the decrees of its courts is acknowledged to be sufficient even by those who would fain oppose it. Howls of rage and mortification on the part of the baffled plotters against the will of the majority take the place of the premature shouts of triumph which so recently resounded through the columns of their organs; and the tone alternately cajoling and bullring by which they sought to influence tho decision of the United States court has been changed to one of hitter censure and low personal abuse. Their abuse, however, is as impotent to move the imperturbability of him at whom it is aimed as their cajoleries aud intimidations were to affect his decision. Placed by character and position far above the reach of private or partisan influences, Judge Durell sits as the exponent of the law; exercising his right to maintain its authority in a spirit of lofty indifference to consequences, compared to which mere courage sinks into insignificance.

Storms of vituperation from the defeated conspirators, foiled by his action, beat about his head in vain; threats of assassination have had no power to move his iron resolution; showers of filth from that powerful engine of injustice, the partisan press, fall harmlessly from his ermine robe, leaving it still the spotless emblem of judicial purity. Responsible to himself, his country and his God, he heeds not the clamor of the hour, confident that when the tumult shall be over his course in this critical point in the destinies of Louisiana will be justified by the verdict of impartial history. THE ONE-FIFTH ORGAN Tho Times does not pretend to represent the color-d people, either voluntarily or by conscription. It has no stomach for that sort of work, as the easiest way to dispose- of the trouble, it quietly ignores tin negroes as people altogether. It certainly does not represent the majority of tli- white people, ns its favorites are usually aten before that class of the community.

This reduces it to the condition of being the organ of a fraction of a faction of the community, and yet. whenever any question the public mind, it pushes itself forward as the representative of "ibis people," and as the authorized expositor of public sentiment in Louisiana. It is nothing of the sort. It merely speaks for close corporation, that includes less than one-fourth of the people of Louisiana. And this is a very liberal estimate, considering wliat a few of its patrons -ay of its ability and consistency.

THE STATE AND 11 THIS PEOPLE." When the Times speaks of this people and their madness at the injuries and outrages they have suffered, the public un derstancl, or it should, that the term "this people" has a very limited signification; and that tlie madness referred to is confined to a few men who have slipped up in some scheme they have concocted against the interests of the many. When the country is called upon to elect its officers and agents, according to certain rules and regulations which it has adopted, if the will of the majority is suppressed by trickery, fraud or violence, we can not allow the Times to push itself forward, after having had a hand, perhaps, in the wickedness, to announce that the detection of the fraud, or the discovery and arrest of the violence, is a wrong done to "this people, without stepping forward to declare who and what "this people" mean. The State pays thousands of dollars yearly to secure fair and impartial elections; she provides all manner of means to arrest frauds against the ballot-box, and this people, in their amplitude, as understood by the law, can not be represented by any paper that speaks of them as attempting to cheat, defraud, or brutalize their own agencies. The reference of the Times, thee, is not to the political constituency of the State of Louisiana, when it speaks of "this people," but it is to those parties who are seeking, or have sought, to palm upon the community their favorites in place of the chosen favorites of the people. And all the indignation which we hear upon the street corners at present is not the hot wrath of injured innocence, but it is the profanity of those who have lost the game they put up against the real people.

The design of the Times is to reverse the real Condition of affairs by making those the guilty parties who have really been the sufferers, and it impresses its relation by declaiming, in the name of "this people," that this outrage is unbearable and must be redressed. When it is understood that the few are noisily defaming the many, and that the wrong is violently assailing the right, it will be allowed on the part of the public that the issue may be safely trusted to the future. The people of Louisiana intend to maintain their rights against "this people" of the Times, for that is their safety in the future, as it has been in the past. GOVERNOR FINCHBACX. While presiding over the Senate yesterday, in the work of organization.

Lieutenant Governor Pinehback displayed the splendid qualities of courage, integrity and ability in a very marked degree. For a few hours he actually held the destinies of this State in his grasp, and the result proved that they could not have been committed to a better or firmer hand. Imbued with the true spirit of patriotism, and conscious of the momentous interests intrusted to him, he rose superior to the seductions of temptation, the threats and taunts of disappointed schemers and the subtleties of private leading. With the law for his guide, and his duty before him, he carried the whole Senate with him to a triumphant reorganization. The scene was one not soon to be forgotten by the beholders.

It was one in which was strikingly illustrated the irresistible power of one superior mind, armed with honesty of purpose, over the many who, however able at ordinary times, become paralyzed attempting to uphold wrong. "Thrice is ho armed that hath his quarrel just." The subsequent speech of the Lieutenant Governor was pronounced by those who heard it to be one of the best efforts of the kind ever heard in the Senate. That he is elected temporarily to high station goes for naught. Governor Pinchback deserves, and will receive, the gratitude of all classes of our citizens whose good will is worth having. Should it become necessary to make any changes in office during his incumbency of the governorship, we are assured he will use the utmost judgment and discretion iu selecting appointees.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. HARRIS. By virtue his election to the presidency of the Senate. Senator A. B.

Harris becomes ex-officio the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. Republicans generally throughout the State will heartily rejoice that this high honor has befallen him, for few of our party leaders are more widely known or personally more popular with the masses. Senator Karris is a native of New York, but. after years of residence in the West, principally in Wisconsin, settled in Concordia parish iu January, 18G4, where he lias ever since tesided, one of its largest and most planters, and taking prominent part in all enterprises calculated to advance public interests. His popularity with both the white and colored citizens of Concordia is as unlimited as his acquaintance, which includes nearly every human being there.

information that Governor War- 1 moth was yesterday impeached, charged with high crimer and misdemeanors, the House, also declaring Hiat its action, operated as to suspend him from his official functions. The Senate speedily thereafter organized as a court of impeac ment, with the Chief Justice presiding, but adjourned until Monday next to give time to the House managers to prepare their charges and specifications. Governor Hahn has this delicate duty in charge, and at the earliest moment we shall lay before our readers the results of his and the committee's labors. GOVERNOR PINCHBACK TO THE PRESIDENT. The joint resolution of tlie Senate and House, calling upon the President of the United States for troops to protect the State government and the public peace, was inspired by the incendiary appeals ot the Times, which is always so ready to urge other reckless and lawless rabble of the town, to rapine and blood.

Acting Governor Pinehback promptly dispatched the appeal to President Grant, and our law abiding citizens and persons intending to visit the city, may be assured that it will be complied with to the fullest. There will be no turmoil here. PROCLAMATION. Iflealeiiaut Governor Finchbork the Executive Chair. State op Louisiana, Executive Department, Now Orleans, December 9, 1872.
