The New York Independent gives the Louisiana election and General Banks' reconstruction experiment a pretty rough overhauling. Instead of regarding it as "grandly successful," the Independent regards it as of evil portent, and as demonstrating the "disloyalty" rather than the "loyalty" of those who voted for the successful candidate. It repeats the Tribune's charge that Hahn, the governor elect, is an old rebel who has perjured himself, and it considers the votes given him "as a measure of the rebel strength among the voting population."
