A BOUNDARY LINE NEEDED.

The congressional committee is taking
wide range in its investigation, and ind-
Gates not very creditable appreciation of
congressional dignity. when the papers in
opposition to his Excellency Governor
Warmoth feel compelled to interpolate in
their reports of the attempt to revive
contemplate and exploded scandal about
him, such parenthetical remark, as this,
from the Picay,,ne:
Here question was propounded entirely
irrelevant, and wholly improper for publ
cation.
This style may tickle the taste of the
patrons Of the Days Doings, and other
obscene publications, but will scarcely be
considered "A sufficient return for the i'm
mense sum the committee is costing by
the people at large, who want facts, and
only such of those as are pertinent to the
subjects the committee is sent to sift
We have no doubt that Governor War
moth is perfectly willing the members of
Congress should ferret out how much his
lOItiIt COISlStS VI. even W Tue ICtSt ltitI-
ing; but the propriety of such action, when
nothing but the qualification Of the curios-
ity of political enemies is to be attained, is
more than doubtful. The stupid SUPPOSE
tons. beliefs and opinions OF such men as
Packard, Carter and BOvee as to the Gov
ernor's wealth, past and present, would be
equally valuable if they related to the for
tunes said to have been attained in public
life by President Grant, Senators Harlan
and Pomeroy, and many others even among
the colleagues of the committeeman.
There is too much time wasted in develop
ing wild reports and vague rumors.
Surely, if Governor Warmoth is as cor
rupt as his opponents vigorously assert
50 accustomed to giving and receiving
brides and making mone Y illegally through
the powers of his office-the committee
should be able to sum down at least one
specific case, and not be compelled to fall
back upon stale rehash of the charges
made and for months reiterated almost
daily by opposition journals in the hopeof
alternating from him public support and
confidence.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-02-03
SWEARING BY GUESS.

Marshal Packard estimates under oath
that Governor Warmoths profits from the
printing contract of the REPUBI1cAN
amount to 100000 a year, that Colonel
Casey's position is worth 10000, General
LOngstreet's G,0O0, and his own next to
nothing. Aud Yet he informed the COM
mlttee that he had no intention to resign
If we are to guage his other estimates by
that he makes about Governor Warmoth's
profits, there is not truth enough in them
to save them from a very bad name. AS
the total receipts for printing in any one
year never reached $500, 900 in State war
rants, which were sold at an average price of
about sixty cents on the dollar, and the cost
Of performing the printing nearly or quite
absorbed that; ard as Governor War,notb
does not own all the stock, nor even a
controlling interest. and has not received
one cent from the Office for nearly wear
and q half, We confess We are at a
loss to know where his profits come in.
Such testimony is well placed among the
other wild a5sUrdities INDUCED in by the
baf1lcd aid beviIdered marshal. It;sverv
strange that a man who could not recollect
the names Of more than one or two of the
''most distinguished lawyers of the city"
who thronged his Office less than month
ago, OF important business, should have
such vivid recollection of the Governors
profits in o business venture about whicI,
the deponent is profoundly ignorant and
egragiously in error
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-02-03

because pubic property would be endan-
gered, and not because his friends were
alarmed for their safety; that be admitted
only those whom he pleased to the conven-
ton. and that his prime object was to show
President Grant that be and his friends
controlled the Republican party in Louisi-
ana. These are not our assertions, but
Mr.. Packard's own admissions and affirma-
tons. There is process known as sift-
ing, which will do to apply to this testi-
mony. Every witness who avows an in
terest III cause is at once set apart
for scrutiny, under our new law on
the subject of evidence, and his tes-
timony is estimated according to the
extent of his concern in the result. Mr..
Packard swears positively that his design
and intention was to use the Republican
convention of 1870 to create given i'm
preston on President Grant This being
avowed, every act that he committed must
be accented as subservient to the main
object. Aud as he swears that he perpe-
trated several very unrepublican ma
nervers which resulted as he had in
tended they should result, We submit the
question if the United States Marshal has
not controverted, by his admissions, the
very justification which he sets up as his
defense? If he had determined 20 effect a
given result by means Of the convention,
and used the troops, hired deputy mar
shals, and abused federal building to
carry out his designs, is it at all probable
that lie would have accepted any other
room than the one he did select
for the meeting of his convention?
Has he not invented story about
the hiring of rooms by the Governor
merely to excuse his tirn-set purpose to
hold a meeting where he could control the
admittance of members to suit himself.
He testifies to his purpose; he swears that
only on tickets issued under his orders
could delegates obtain admittance to the
room, and he assures the world that
nothing but solicitude for the safety of the
public property induced him to call for
troops According to these admissions
then, the bogus convention met without
apprehension Of violence to itself, and with
the sole view to demonstrate to the Presi-
ident that the federal officers in this State
controlled the Republican organization.
# any witness ever had greater interest
n q cause than Mr. Packard has in the
one now pending before the investigating
committee, he never betrayed it and if
any interested party ever destroyed the
value of his testimony more effectually
than Mr.. Packard has destroyed his con-
corning the origin of the troubles in the
Republican party, We never read it.

is liable to suspension; and since the Bee
says most Of the Governors appointees are
suspicious characters, it should not abuse
him for taking precaution against their
tricks, in the shape of blank resignation.
1t would be good thing if he had done
this III the case of Edmonston and Robin
son, for then these worthless would not
now be troubling society as officers. By
the way, does not this absence Of these
documents in these two cases rather mill
tate against the theory CT undated resig
nations?
AS to the appointment Of men to two
Offices, what has the Bee to say about
Sypher, Ingraham, Herwig, COPELAND,
and Carter, who held federal offices in
violation of the constitution? Let the
mote be taken out Of its own eye before it
scratches other peoples faces.
The ineligibility count is one that re-
quires names, facts and dates to sustain it,
in all of which essentials it is deficient
Dismissed
In ''aiding and signing the revenue
bill' the answer is, that owing to the various
and varied constitutional arguments which
the Democrats clogged the business of the
Legislature with, while they were helping
the lobby to smuggle its little jobs through,
the revenue bill was not passed until it was
too late to veto it. This offense, therefore,
belongs to tie friends of the Bee, as they
delayed it until there was no time to cor
rect or veto it; as matter of course the
men who used this coercion must bear the
blame of their acts. 1t looks like we were
to have just such another game played on
the State this year. The Democrats are
fighting the revenue bill off to the last mo-
ment, hoping thus to disable the Governor
from vetoing it.
And. fourthly, since he could not avoid
signing the revenue bill, so he could not
decline to appoint the tax collectors pro-
vided for in its multitudinous clauses He
had to obey the law.
And so on throughout. 1t is the old
game of making charges at random, with
the hope that an accidental hit might be
made The Bee is invited to continue its
list of woes

THE STATE House,

| MATTERS were very quiet around the
State House yesterday To newspaper
men they were distressingly quiet. There
| kind. There Sc med to be no attraction
| about the Governors Office, and nothing
to create the slightest sensation in either
branch Of the Legislature The com
bativeness of members Was not made
manifest at any time during the sitting OF
either house, and the rnacEinery of legis-
lation worked beautifully.
In the Senate the Metropolitan Police
Committee reported favorably on the bill
for the relief of officers and members of
the police. and recommended that the bill
be referred to the Finance Committee. Mr..
Pay gave notice of bill relative to the
government of New Orleans, and the as
sessment and collection Of taxes. Mr..
Blacknan called up lis resolution inform
ing the Governor, officially, Of the deaths
Of Senators Fish and Pierce. It Was re-
feTTed to the Committee on Election bv a
vote of sixteen yeas to fourteen nays. The
appropriation bill, as amended By the
House, was being considered, when, on
motion, the Senate went into executive
session. This was about two o'clock in
the afternoon.
In the House Mr.. n. 4. Llambias intro
duced concurrent resolution asking
Congress to retain the duty on rice. The
resolution sets forth that in the deliberate
Judgment of the General Assembly of the
State of Louisiana it would be an unjust
measure and against sound public policy
for TIE Congress of the United States of
America to remove the duty on rice at this
time i'll view of the large national debt,
and the depressing condition of the bust
mass interest aud agricultural industry of
the South. It therefore proposes that the
Legislature instruct the Senators and re-
quest our Representatives in Congress to
oppose all such legislation at this time;
and that the Governor of this State
be requested to communicate the con-
current resolution to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, so that they
may take prompt action thereon in the in
terest Of the people Of the State of Loui-
siana. The resolution passed it's first,
second and third readings in the House,
currence of that body. Mr.. Llambias
stated that he had been in communica-
ton with Washington authority upon this
subject, and had been advised to take this |
course; that it was necessary that our
Senators and Representatives in Congress
should be requested to move at once in |
this matter, III order to prevent the con
removal of duty on rice IL the
new adjustment OF the tarif.
An act creating second criminal court
for the parish OF Orlaa was read and re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee
Mr. Davidson moved that when the
House adjourns it adjourn until Monday
next at twelve o'clock il order that COM
mttees may have time to get through
with the work low before tlem. His mo-
ton prevailed.
An act to repeal the act authorizing the
Of grounds ana the building Of
Il State House was read a first time and
lies over under the rule.
The House then adjourned until Mon
day next at twelve o'clock.

1t is disagreeable to be treading on toes,
but if people carry about feet that are
liable to be tramped on, their misery
must be charged to profit and loss. We
can not indulge in little exultation at the
successful issue of our struggles against
prejudice and seltishness, but the Times
considers this thrust at its own very
vulnerable record, whereupon it rushes off
to find something in our business matters
that might have been directed better if it
had been consulted in the premises This
sensitiveness is the result Of a guilty
conscience. We have spun the Times
around like teetotum so often that 1t
flies from argument to scandal as the
easiest way to answer an indictment.
Take a single test. Let the files of the
REPUBLICANS and of the Times for the last
four years be placed in the hands of a
competent critic for comparison, and II
the Judgment does not affirm that we have
held a straight forward course during the
whole of that time and that the Times
has whipped from pillar to post, until at
last it has been forced to agree with us
on every general issue, we are willing to
pay /. handsome forfeit to Straight Uni
versity. One gun generally brought it to,
and in serious cases a single broadside
sunk it out of sight. Now let it say some
thing mean about three hundred thousand
dollars

MORE OPPOSITION TESTIMONY.

Marshal Packard positively swears that
no other room in the city of New Orleans
than one III the Customhouse was to be
had for his bogus convention last year;
that all the other public places had been
hired by Governor Warmoth: that the
only reason why ne was afraid to assemble
his convention anywhere else than under
the protection of United States troops was
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-02-03

Marshal Packard justifies himself be-
fore the congressional committee for call
ing political convention in the Custom
house by saying that before the war the
Democrats used that building as their
headquarters. This might be good all-
thority with Democrats, but Republicans
do not go to that party for their prece-
dents. Fosters slave depot would have
been selected for the convention before the
war, considering that it contained so many
colored members. Mr.. Packard has had
his ideas disturbed by bad companionship
lately. Besides, We never heard of Dem
ocratic convention being held ii the Gus
tomhouse until Mr.. Packard ,wore to the
assertion

BOVEE AS A SWEARER,

The ex-Secretary of State is healthy
witness in his own favor. He got up q List
of suggestions in regard to the Crescent
City Waterworls bill, and the Attorney
General gave him an opinion based there
on, which he afterward repudiated when
the facts Were presented to him. Boyee
only remembered, in swearing before the
committee, the rendering Of the opinion,
and forgot entirely the subsequent repudia-
ton.
Again he swears that General O. F.

1t would be an interesting piece OF in
formation if the public could be informed
by Mr.. Packard whether he succeeded in
making the President believer in his
ability to control the Republican party in
Louisiana. If Mr.. Packard did do this
thing, or if he even believes he did, then
the next question to be settled is whether
he believes it himself: We doubt very
much if the marshal will swear positively
on this point.

full, who swears that his late partner, the
gentleman whom he helped to promote
and was very intimate with, did not pos

he was elected to Office. What has all this
to do with Governor Warmoth: He did not
elect Senator Hunsaker, nor did he admit
him into the Senate. The people are respon-
sible for the first act and the Legislature
for the second. If Mrs. OLeary's COW
had kicked over the fatal lamp in New

have been laid on Governor WarmOth by
