BACKING THE SENATE.
Corruption I'm the Impeachment Trial.
The Worlds correspondent writes thus
BACKBONE FOR THE MANAGERS.

The Worlds correspondent writes thus
BACKBONE" FOR THE MANAGERS.
Ii will be recolleeted that allusion was
made in these dispatches to the action of
the House in daily repairing as a body to
the Senate whenever the impeachment trial
is resumed, and remaining there until the
close of the session. The purpose of send
ing the entire body to the Senate when the
House is legally and for all necessary pur-
poses present in the persons of its mana.
gers, was not apparent on its face, nor did
all of the members of the House under
stand the real object of the procedure, aud
when it was at first proposed to suspend
business in the House during the session of
the trial in the Senate, it will be recollected
that some Republican members opposed
the motion, and it was defeated. In day
or two thereafter the motion was again
made and carried, the members meantime
being instructed privately that it was
deemed necessary that they should be pre-
sent in the Senate TO give backbone" to
that body. Ever since the trial commenced
the members of the House have freely
mingled with Senators sitting alongside
them, from time to time converting upon
the proceedings and making suggestions.
To such an extent has this reprehensible
practice been carried, and so manifestly
improper is it, that Republican correspond
ents have CONDEMNED it in their letters from
this city.
CORRUPT HACKERS OF THE IMPEACHMENT.
At first it was given out by the impeach-
ers that the johnson men would "buy up
certain Radical Senators" and many other
rascally tricks were 10 be resorted TO. ac-
cording to the impeaehers, TO secure
the acquittal of the President. Il now
turns out the only corrupt practices resort
ed TO in this trial have been practiced by
the impeachers themselves, who have been,
and are now, engaged in bringing various
influences 10 bear upon such Senators who
are not regarded as certain for conviction.
In confederation OF my assertion as TO the
purposes of the impeachers bringing mem-
bers of the House 20 the Senate, and that
they charged that Senators were 20 be
bought up. Ii may be stated that a day
or two before the House agreed TO attend
the Senate in a body, a member Of the
House from East Tennessee wrote to one of
his constituents that there never was
better chance for Senators 10 make fortunes
aud damn themselves forever than is now
offered but that the House would attend
IN maSse 10 give back bone" to the Senate
in the impeachment trial, etc.
This Is but slight specimen of the
animus and corrupt purposes of the leaders
Of the impeachment scheme.

Match Game OF BiIIiardS.

CHICAGO, April 9.-The largest runs in
the Billiard Match last night were: Foster,
lO7, l26, liz, 263; McDevitt, PA, 293,
242. On the fifty-ninth inning the balls
were nearly all together at the lower left
hand corner. McDevitt earoming upon
one, struck the cushion, and apparently
passed between the other two, he himself,
appeared to think so, as he turned away
from the table. His umpire, however,
claimed that the count was made. Foster
umpire claiming the opposite. The referee
was called on, and his decision, which he
gave, was in favor Of McDevitt. Upon
this, Foster put on his coat and left the
room, not returning. Calls were made for
a decision upon the game which was
rendered in favor of McDevitt. The score
standing, McDevitt 1868, and Foster 1862.

S25, 600 in State bonds, for the purpose of
enabling the company &c build an arsenal

void. The suit was brought in name of

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-01-30
CHEERING WORDS.

From ali parts of the state come to us
letters from representative men, and the
resolutions of Republican Clubs, commend
ing and indorsing ths candidates nominated
by tie Radical Republican party. To
print one-half of these letters and docu-
ments in the REPUBLICAN would be impos-
sible. We must therefore beg our friends
to excuse us for not complying with their
requests, although their communications
cheer US on in the path of duty, and would
gladden. the hearts Of all the true friends of
reconstruction.
We believed at first, but now we know,
that the great heart of our people is
throbbing in unison all over the state.
As one man, the loyal voters of
Louisiana will adopt the new oonstitu-
ton and elect the Candidates they have
nominated. Among many others, we have
received resolutions from the parish of
Terrebone, to which we must especially re-
fer, as they are indoPsed by the thirteen
Radical Republican Clubs of that parish,
and signed by the thirteen Presidents Of
those Clubs. They are too long to publish
in full.
Speaking Of the Hon. H. c. WarmOth
and the Hon. o. J. Dunn, the resolutions
proceed to state: awe have confidence in
the activity, energy, talent, and political
principles of the two patriots placed at the
head Of orr state ticket. We very well
remember that in 1865 Mr., Warnoth was
sent by the whole Republican party Of
Louisiana as our STANDARD bearer to
Washington. Frem that day we have
closely watched all his speeches, his votes,
and his political conduct and have,
in every CASE found him true to
our policy. AS for Mr. o. J Dunn, it is suffl-
cient to say that the whole colored popula.
ton of Louisiana may well be proud of him
He is an honor to his race, and in Roman
friendship, in hisgeneral department, as the
vice president of the Central Executive com
mittee, as assistant recorder Of The second
district of New Orleans, and as alderman
in the common council Of that metropolis
he has Invariably been gentleman, {
sound Repu blican, Christian, and a tai
ented politician. We are equally vel
| pleased with the other names on the stat
ticket is they are ali wen known 10 u.s.
Tho resolutions speak in the most compli
mentary terms Of the other candidates.
From our state nominating convention
has gone forth feeling which issweepinl

BANKRUPTCY.

Bankrupt laws are not peculiar to mod
ern legislation. They are as old as the
Roman empire, and are identified with
English history for more than two hundred
years.
So uncertain are human afaifs, so diff
-cult is It for the wit Of man to determine
she laws that govern the atmospheric phe-
nomena, SO to speak, the tides and eur
renta, tho great GIBBS and floods, the winds
and storms that prevail in the commercial
world, that even ID communities dlslin-
guishsd for intelligence, education, financial
sagacity and foresight, there come seasons

pealed. That Of 1900 was substantially for
creditors only while tAe act of 1891 operated
only to the benefit of debtors. The present |
statute was enacted in response to q gem
eral CRY for relief from ali parts OF the
country. 1t was drawn originally by one
of the ablest jurists in the country, after
most careful research among all the authori-
ties bearing upon the subject, and guided
by the light of experience of our own and
other countries, and especially of England,
where this existing statute is the maturest
fruit Of more than two centuries OF growth
Indeed, our present bankrupt law is largely
a counterpart of the English act of 1861.
II was met at the outset by
strenuous opposition in congress, and was
enacted only after very thorough debate
and revision. In its present form it is
probably the best law upon the subject ex-
tant. Tempering in many instances the
harshness and severity of the English law,
it vet includes stringent provisions to ex-
act honesty on the part of the debtor. For
the first time in this country it places the
falling debtor and his creditors upon
basis of negotiation and adjustment equally
beneficial to both, and tends to accom-
plish more effectually than any previous
law in any country the two grand objects
that every just and impartial system OF
bankruptcy must have in view, viz: first,
the discharge of the honest but unfortunate
debtor upon complete surrender OF his
property to his creditors; and second, the
protection of tie creditor against the fraud
ulent practices and dishonest conduct Of
his debtor.
If these objects are not accomplished
under the present statute; if on the one hand
those hopelessly insolvent in debt continue
to stagger under their burdens, or to sink
PROSTATE under them, or to skulk along
under dishonest and unsafe DISCUSSES, or il
from false and silly pride he refuses the
weapons extended him by the government
whereby " to take up arms against sea Of
troubles, and by opposing end them,
let him in future charge bis distresses to
his own folly and feebleness. Aud if, on
the other hand, the creditor fails to secure
from his debtors estate all that in justice
tempered by mercy and Christian charity
he can demand, or that he can reasonably
hope to save from the wreck, let him here
after impute his failure mainly to his own
apathy or incapacity.
We had intended to speak of the two
kinds of bankruptcy, and the modes o.
proceeding in beth, of the proving o.
claims, the appointment, duties, and
responsibilities Of assignees, and Othel
features of a law which excites a marked
and growing interest in our community
but our limits this morning forbid. II
future editions we shall probably recur &
this subject.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL platform.
The Chicago Tribune publishes the fol-
lowing Democratic platform, and we under
stand from other sources that George 81.
Pendleton will accept the nomination of
the Democratic party upon it;
The Democratic party in national con-
vention assembled unanimously declare
l. That the states have no right to Sc
cede.
2. That there is no such crime as treason
against the United States.
3. That Jefferson Davis is not traitor.
5. That the war was unconstitutional.
6. That the rebel armies were COM
posed of honorable men defending their
sacred and inalienable rights.
T.. That the Union armies were COM
posed of murderers.
8. That the national debt was illegally
incurred.
9. That slavery is not lawfully abol-
ished.
These doctrines constitute the basis Of
the Democratic national platform. They
are the doctrines George H. Pendleton
uniformly and consistently maintains.
They are principles for which the uure-
constructed rebels of the South are every
where contending. To aid them in secur'
ing these rights the Northern Democracy
oppose the reconstruction policy of con-
gress. A more comprehensive statement
of the issues of the campaign could not
easily be made, and we understand our
Camp street cotempo raries have given il
their Endorsement, and will in a few days
put it at the head of their columns beneath
the name of Jefferson Davis or George H
Peadletou for president.
