A Novel Treatment of DelinQuentS.

scalp Of a delinquent subscriber in the
following paragraph. We omit the name,
which appears in full in the original:

We desire to say that our article was
not, in whole or in part, written "at the

Finance Committee and apparently the
controlling actor in the transaction; and
as the affair appeared to be of the same
piece with the Savings Institution loss,
the same parties being responsible for It,
there seemed TO be no injustice in using
Mr.. QUARR1ER's name as we did. But
we distinctly said the responsibility did
not attach to Mr.. QUARTER alone; that
he could have done nothing without CO.

the Committee; and that therefore they
could not screen themselves behind him.

Indeed has the Democracy "fallen from
it's high estate" when it is proposed that it
must accept the leadership of either Carte or
or Warmoth. Our Democracy will ''ta>c
to the woods" in preference to following
the fortunes of either faction We are utter
ly opposed to abandoning Principal and In
tcgrity for Pilicy and ENpcdiency. We are
not prepared to desert our principles for
such "Rcform' as disintegration and Pas
Sivity promise us.
The foregoing from the Bossicr BAN
ncr, with additional from other OK
changes and the expressed sentiments
of many of our people, satisfy us that
the position we took at tho very first in
regard to coalitions, was correct. We
waited for no MANS opinion, in our
opposition to the movement. We can
make no terms with Radicalism. 1t is
wrong, as Il thousand evidences de-
monstratc, and VIC shall oppose it I'M
changingly and ctcrnally. 1t has al
most succeeded in destroying all that
Il free people would live for, and we
will not by any coalition or compro-
mise palliatc or tcmporizc whit. Bet

\ Louisiana Congressman.

In Il recent letter ofthc washington

we find the following paragraph refer

appeared at Il masquerade, and giving
4 reason why such men are now found
in Congress: as representatives from the
South:
At Il masquerade 4 few nights ago,
!. carpctbaggcr from Pennsylvania who
has squattcd in the First Congressional
District of Louisiana, oncO by name,
appeared as "Figaro." He is an over
grown, puffy fellow, reminding one of

tellgcnce in his face as appcrtainS to
the porcinc family yet he fances he
is Il perfect Apollo in grace and figure.
Hence he donncd tights for the occa-
sion mentioned, and has been the
laughing stock of the town since. Oh,
Syphcr, you must sigh for charms you
do not possess. Speaking of this fellow,
who has no local habitation in the
great city he assumes to represent, Il

Important i?ccision Relative to Par.lons

W\Sl!iNGTON, Feb. 27.-In the Court
OF Claims, the Court acting under the
recent decision of the Supreme Court
declaring brakes amendment uncOn-
Stitutional, decided in the case of Simon
Witi>owsky vs.. United States, for the
proceeds OF cotton captured at SaVan-
nah, rs follows: In the case of WitkOW-
sky, the Court of Claims found as 4 fact
that the claimant had not proved that
at all times he had borne true allegi-
:lncc to the government of the United
States, and never gave aid or comfort
to the rebellion against the said Gov
crnmCnt, but decided as q matter Of
law, that the proclamation of President
j Johnson, of December 18th, 1865, grant
ing unconditional pardon and amnesty
to all who had directly or Indirectly
participated in the rebellion, relieved
the claimant from any proof of loyalty.
Another dispatch says:
The decision in the Witkowsky case,
although apparently much broader
than that of the Supreme Court in the
Klein case, only carries out logically
the reasoning of Chief Justice Chase in
that case. Tho result Of this decision
i. that although II claimant in the
Court of Claims must, under the act
of March Sd, 1864, aver in his petition
that he has at all times borne true faith
and allegiance to the United States,
and has never Voluntarily given aid,
comfort or assistance to the rebellion
against said government, he is Vet not
compelled to prove this allegation, for
if hrliNrd i'll an iuSurrcctionarys district
the law prC~unlCS that The amnesty cN
tended by the proclamation of Decent
Der 18th, lS6S, was cNtendcd to him,
and OF course washed out all of his
ollrnor, and il Ii" lived i'll I district not
in the proclamation, the law prcSumcS
his loyalty needs no pardon.

indicate different course, of which
probability we have now very grave
doubts. We shall be told, doubtless,
that our plan involves another defeat.
It certainly does, ifa minority of the
conservative element refuse to aid the
majority. We recognize the rule of a
majority, and the right of the working
bees to regulate the hive. We repudi-
ate with scorn all prejudices against
names, and refuse peremptorily to be-
lieve a cause is lost and dishonOrable
because in one, two or three trials it is
defeated.
The Republican party Of this State
has at last been proven, irrefutably, to
be exactly what the Democrats have
pronounced it from the start--a cor
rupt and irresponsible organization.
The evidence of the fact is overwheln-
ment, and with the correctness of our
opposition clearly established, il is pro-
posed to disband the Democracy, with
all of its machinery, losing its consis-
tent record and virtuous example, and
to organize Il party with new leaders
and under untried auspices, with the
view of redeening the State! There
is scarcely good citizen in the State
who did not support the Democracy i'll
1868. Suppose we form Il new party,
will not the fact that we were all Dem
ocrats in IS, justify the charge that the
new party is the Same old party chris
tened anew? What is the Use and
wisdom in so much labor and in eX-
perimenting ut Il risk, when we final
ly arrive at the exact point whence we
started? If reform is meant in sober
earnest, why not stick to the party
whose record is irreproachable and
opposed corruption and misrulc: Why
repeat the fable of the frogs: .....
It seems to us the course before the
people is plain. Let us not act hastily,
but deliberately. Let us meet the Dem
ocrats Of the State in Convention on the
18th of next month,and prepare for a
working campaign. BY selecting good
men for Office, when the time to nomi-
nate shall come, planting ourselves up
on the platform of the conservative
national party, and inaugurating SEN
siblc plans to carry and redeem the
State, the initiatory step to thorough
reform will have been taken. The
working reform elements will rally
around our standard, and by Il thor
Ough canvass the undoubted cOnserva-
tive majority in the State will be heard
from in triumphant numbers at the
