A MISTAKE OF TIE PEN.

The Times says that two Of the best
bred, best informed and best read lawyers
in the Senate, Messrs. Ray and Blackman,
united in declaring the late extra session
to be an unconstitutional body. We beg
leave to offer correction. It was Sena-
tor 1ngraham who united his voice with
that Of Senator Elackman in denouncing
the extra session as an unconstitutional
body. A mere change of names is all that
we desire to suggest, leaving the conpli-
ments bestowed by the Times to rest as
they were delivered by our contemporary.
Senator Blackman certainly ought to be
we'll read, as the State has paid out large
sum of money to perfect his education in
the matter Of her own laws, at least Z;
and the Democracy has never refused to
indorse his ability as law maker of the
first water. Senator lngraham is a colored
man, it is true, but he has had two or
three years within whick to prepare him
self for the legal field and We feel sure
that the Times will accept OF our correc-
ton, and confess that the high praise
which it mistakenly bestowed on Senators
Ray and Blackman was intended for Sen
ators InSraham and Blackman. This will
be doing the fair thing ali around, and we
shall feel happy at having assisted 70 make
the situation lovely

KEEP TEE BALL ROLLING

The reform mania which has recently
developed among the politicians of this
State is as remarkable for its universally
as it is gratifying circumstance in itself.
Senator John Lynch testified to his sin
cerity in the cause by proposing that the
Senators convened IN extra session should
toreso their customary pay and perquis-
ties; and Senator Harris, backed by all
the supporters Of the State administra-
ton, followed up this economical move by
adjournment OF that body sine de. This
was in accordance with the suggestion of
some of the leading journals which intima-
ted that the Senators, after electing a Lieu
tenant Governor, could consult upon the
other matters brought forward IN the
Gov errors proclamation informally, and
without any expense whatever to the
State.
This gives a very hopeful aspec. 20 af-
fairs, so far as the good intentions Of the
Republican party are concerned. Now.
We want to obtain something besides
promises from the hermaphroditic COM
bination OF Democrats and Customhouse
men. We might suggest many little ac-
tons which would evidence their desire
to push on the good work. For instance,
would not the Senate Committee on Banks
and Banking consent to relinquish their
vouchers for mileage to Shreveport and
back, amounting to some eleven hundred
dollars for each individual? By this time
they must have fully recovered from the
delusion that they really went to shreve-
port. If not, a reference to the official
journal of the Senate will convince them
that they were in daily attendance at the
Mechanics Institute during the entire
period covered by their applications for
pay. What say you to this suggestion,
Herwig, Antoine, Thompson ct
ais? Will you reform"
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-12-08

which, had they succeeded, would have
been quite the proper thing to do. The
constitution would have been unviolated
and the people appeased! No one but
the ablest sort of constitutional lawyer,
and Democrat or bolter at that, would
have the hardihood to preach one thing
and practice another in this style. Does
1ngraham object to Senator Pinchback
because he is colored man? 1t would
be consistent in his able coadjutor to do
so, but he being much darker, and with
not one-tenth the sense or ability Of the
new Lieutenant Governor, would cut
sorry figure in raising such a question.
And when lie iblatantly declares that the
Supreme Court will declare the action Of
the Senate selecting its own presiding
officer illegal, he furnishes US with conclu-
sive evidence that he knows nothing at
all abOut it.

ADJOURNMENT OF TEE SENATE.

The election of Lieutenant Governor
Oh Wednesday completed, in the minds Of
q majority Of Senators, the chief business
for which they had been called together
When, therefore, Senator Harris moved
yesterday to djourn sine die, his motion
was supported by twenty members. These
twenty gentlemen were perfectly consist
ent in their votes Among the number
we find the names Of Senators Blackman,
Futch and Thompson, who had previous
ly taken the ground that the meeting of
the Senate was not constitutionally called.
They were therefore consistent in voting
for an adjournment. The other Senators
who supported Mr.. Harris motion no
doubt were actuated by motives Of econ.
omy, for they had been told the day be-
fore that the session would cost the State
twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars,
and, being pledged to economy and re-
form, they naturally wished to save as
much of this money as possible. An adj
journment was the obvious corrective,
and they promptly applied it.
But we fail to see the consistency Of
some Of the Senators who voted in the
minority. On Wednesday they were
anxious to adjourn before electing Pres
ident. After the success of the friends of
Senator Pinchback, they loudly denounced
the whole proceeding, not only as illegal,
but unnecessarily expensive. Now, mark
what change few hours will effect in
men not blessed with fair minds, or per-
haps We ought to say in the case of some
Of them, who have no minds at all.
They yesterday demanded not only
that the body which the day before they
had declared to be unconstitutionally as
sembled, should remain in session, but

INGRAEAK,s LOGIC AND LAW,

Since the enemies of Republ;canism
have sustained another Waterloo defeat,
they raise the old Cry Of unconstitution-
alit1!' That is, the election of Pinchback
by the Senate is in opposition to the will
Of the people, and illegal at the same time
We are quite willing to concede that the
election is as susceptible of one charge as
it is of the other. But again, it is evident
that the small fry, pot-house politicians,
who have just been beaten, know about as
much Of the one as they do of the other
Undoubtedly, if Senator COPELAND had
been made Lieutenant Governor by the
coalition Of the boilers and the Demo-
Gratis, the election would have been per-
fectly legal, and satisfactory to the people
of the State. For those two able
champions of the constitution, Messrs.
Ingraham and Blackman, both voted
for Mr.. Coupland, which, of course,
they never would have done had
they considered their action tainted
with unconstitutionality. The Times
extols the shining abilities Of these great
legal luminaries, and We are not disposed
to question the propriety of the putting.
Both these conference.-the one the gallant
leader of the Democracy, and the other
the mouth-piece of the boilers joined in
the business Of defeating the election of
Pinchback, which would, of course, be
aagrantly illegal and highly improper,
and endeavored to elect Mr.. COPELAND

that the full measure Of the expense they
had SO loudly inveighed against should be
incurred.
Senator Jim 1ngraham's consistency
'(save the markD is aptly illustrated by
his vote on the adjournment sine die Of
the Senate yesterday. On the opening day
he roared and raved against the constitu-
tionality of the session, and patted his
Democratic friend Senator Blackman (who
had preceded him in a similar strain) on
the back in the most encouraging manner.
He pictured an outraged and indignant
people pointing a finger of scorn and
contempt" at Governor Warmoth for Gun
necessarily adding to the public burdens
perhaps twenty-five or thirty thousand
dollars. " Now we should like to know
where that Finger" will be pointed?
Will not Senator who votes to plunge
his hands into the public treasury, under
color OF acts he believes to be unconstitu-
tional, come in for little of that ''scorn
and contempt?"
We suspect the truth of the matter is
that Senator Jims knowledge Of the con-
stitution is extremely limited, and his re-
spect for it next to nothing at all. For
it was not until he found that his Custom
house clique, reinforced by their Demo-
cratic allies, were too weak to beat the
Republicans, that he began his empty,
noisy, disgusting roaring agains: the con-
stitutionality of the session.
The majority of Senator'S have shown
both judgment and patriotism in thus
promptly res ondirg to the Governors
call by meeting, electing Lieutenant
Governor, and at once adjourning, to
save needless expense and agitation.
