b0@ The black and tan Bsdouins Of our
legislative desert thought at the close of
the last session that to return to their con-
stituents would not only be unwholesome
but dangerous, while to remain in the city
without an income was cruelty suggestive
of one or the other of two horns Of a d.
demonstrating or starvation. Under
these startling circumstances they iritated
the cutie of an always itching palm, and
under the inspiration furnished thereby,
rushed bill through both Houses, author
Using the necessitous OF the carpet.bag and
scalawag fraternity-which included large
proportion of the members-to sit as com-
mittees during the recess, aud draw pay for
imaginary services aud mileage. The
measures was bold and desperate as that of
the bighwayman who bide the, traveller, to
"stand and deliver" or of the pirate who
with mildly hammered persuasiveness in
structs his victim to "walk the plank"
At any rate the committees, did make a
pretence Of sitting during the entire vaca-
ton; of travelling to Baton Rouge to ex-
anime the Penitentiary, and to jackson to
spy out the miseries Of insanity, when in
reality they were enjoying themselves in the
neighbothood Of the Mechanics Institute
More than this; the impecuniOus members
Of these committees, unable to subsist on
their own resources, drew warrants on the
State and offered them in market overt
where brokers most do congregate-fol
sale. There was, however, on these war
rants faint of illeeality. The bill tindeI
which they were drawn had not received
the Governors sanction and the warrants
had only a contingent value. The brokers
knew this, and calculating, the chances
and tnischances purchased them at about
forty cents on the dollar.
| Everything went on smoothly until yes
terday when Gov. Warmoth sent into thu
Legislature message vetoing the bill or
which these committeeman presumed to 81,
and draw pay during the long vacation
This fell like bomshell on the recessmer
of The Senate. They squirmed. and faftel
cauctising and counting noses, passed tht
bill over the veto. But the danger is no,

Radical associates. They will in all prob

| We really trust that the House vii
show some regard for its reputation 10 tn
premises. The recess claims are, and wer
from the first, intended to be fraud upol
the people. No equivalent has been rem
dered for the warrants illegally drawn, ant
