we leErn that the Louisiana delegation were .;u unl
disappointed in the expectations ,ley al good
to form, of being adn;tr Z. members ON the floor of

sitlon-a privilege which is always conceded to the
bodies. They were uncerelnoniUusly turned out of

ment.
We should rnther think that this treatment ef ti.uir

had they come back G c;r constituent. rs accredited

pursue to purge themselves # the dei;lement which
