WASHINGTON, Febrcary 14.-About two
weeks since a Iuas-admnistratiOn Senator
waited on General Grant and consulted
with him relative to the rumOrs in circuia-
ton about the French arms contract and
the alleged frauds in connection Herewith.
Grant was advised to put the administra-
ton right so far as those charges were con-
cerned, and to anticipate any action from
the opposition by getting one of his own
Senators to introduce q resolution OF in
guiry.
This step was considered polite for two
reasons: First, it would tend to demonstrate
that the President knew nothing Of the sale
Of the arms, and this would relieve the gov
ernment from the suspicion of having vio
lated the neutrality laws, which, If once IS
tablished, would relieve the American Con-
sui to the Geneva Conference from mach
that was embarrassing in the wosk Of set
ting the Alabama claims; and, second. if
the frauds in manipulating the proceeds
were discovered they would not prove SO
damaging to the administration as ii the
inquiry was first set On foot by other sources.
Grant indignantly refused to order the
investigation, and SO the matter was left to
the independent Republicans, and Sumner $
resolution of inquiry, offered few days
since was the result.
To-day Sumner got up his resolution, and
the discussion on it consumed the entire
| time of the Senate. Sumner made long
speech, and produced cOpious documentary

Mir, Harold to Visit st. LGuis.
From the st. Louis Democrat


In the commercial department of yester-
dav mornings Democrat We published very
full extracts from speech made by the
above distinguished Englishman before the
New Orleans Chamber of Commerce. 1t
will be noticed that Mr.. Harold visits this
country in the interest of English capital
lists, who desire to ascertain beyond all
question whether daily line of iron steam
ers built with a view of carrying bulk grain
aud general Western produce, as we'll as
cotton and passengers, might not be hand
somclv sustained between Liverpool and
New Orleans. One of the objects of bis
mission is to ascertain whether the mer-
chants of the Mississippi valley will not i'm
port tlieir foreign goods via New Orleans
rather than via New York, if they can
get them cheaper by so doing; and
whether grain, flour, cotton, tobacco, OIL
cake, etc, enough can not be eX-
ported 10 Europe via the great
water route to furnish sure cargo for
every steamer From what he has learned
at New Orleans, he believes this can and
will be done: and now, we understand, he
proposes to visit this city soon to ascertain
what inducements are necessary to turn the
produce OF the Mississippi basin down
stream We presume he will deliver an
address before our Board of Trade, if in
Nited, and impart much information which
our DuSiueSS men Will DC Sliu W uCdl .
Capital is abundant and cheap in England,
and comparatively scarce and dear in this
couptry; therefore, it is more than likely
that plenty of means will be furnished by
English capitalists to prosecute exporta-
tions Of grain and importatiOns Of goods via
the great water route, if a reasonable
amount of cooperation with our shippers
and merchants can be obtained by them.
Mr.. Harold has conditiOnally purchased
the New Orleans grain elevator OF Mr..
Highly. and is doubtless prepared to make
a strong and effective effort to move grain
down the river during the coming season.
lie states that English capitalists can be
induced to take stock in barge enterprises
or any other Mississippi valley enterprises
which will give promise of enlarging ex-
ports and imports via New Orleans. We
were surprised at the want of interest man.
Tested III Mr.. Harolds mission on the part
of the New Orleans journals. Only the
Price Current reported his speech or took
any notice of his presence in the city,
though full Of vital import to the CONNER
cial growth of New Orleans Rat pit tes-
tivities, prize fights, and Mardi Gras tom
fooleries monopolize the columns OF her
other festive sheets most of the time, leav-
ing them neither space or stomach for the
duh affairs of business life.

The Louisiana Scandal.

From the Christian Union Henry Ward Beecher,
edtor.l
Perhaps nothing in the Louisiana muddle
is more discreditable than the part which
the Customhouse has played III it: 1t has
given its name and the services OF its EN-
ployes to the worse of the two factions that
have been wrangling, intriguing and fight
ing for possession of the State government.
The Nation gives, from a source which 1t
considers - above suspicion of partiality,
and unusually likely to be well informed"
an account Of the connection OF the United
States officials with the scandalOus bust
ness. Its salient points are these The col
lector, United States marshal and pOstmas-
ter are leaders in the party which is opposed
to Warmoth. To keep out his delegates
from the Republican convention last Au-
gust they assembled the convention in the
room of the United States Circuit Court in
the Customhouse. The building was garri
soned by deputy marshals and federal
troops, and the Governor and ninety other
delegates were excluded. After this shame
tul abuse of his position the collector was
still allowed to retain his Office and this
is to us the most discouraging feature
Of the whole affair. In january, when
the Legislature began its regular ses-
sion. it was convenient for the anti-War-
moth party to keep quorum from assem-
bling. The members who withdrew for
this purpose took refuge in the Custom
house from the authority of the Legisla-
ture; and finally, for greater safety, went
on board revenue cutter and steamed up
and down the river. This precious piece
of impudence, in which five Customhouse
employees, State Senators, participated, was
so far stopped by an order from the Sec
retary of the Treasury that the fugtives
left the revenue CUTTER and those OF them
in the federal service are now receiving
their pay for staying at a hotel in Mlssls-
sippi. In the meantime the Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and a dozen members
of the House were arrested under the ku-
klux act, taken to the Customhouse, and
kept out ot the way long enough for :he
House, though without quorum, to I'M
seat six WarmOth men and replace them
with six of his opponents. Warmoth still
proving the stronger, the CustOmhouse
members held their sessions over grog-
shop kaown as THE Gem" proclaimed
themselves the regular body: and in an in
cienta! way. three of their ''sergeants-at-
arms attacked and killed Republican
member of the House. This Gem assem-
bly, was finally broken up; the Legislature
is III session, with WarIoth majority: and
the defeat of the Customhouse party seems
cOGaplete.
The only comment we now have to make
on the affair is to cali attention to the utter
" disgraceful way in which officials of the
United States have abused their positions.
II the Presidents power OF removal IS
good for anything at all, this is a case for
It's exercise We have trusted and still
trust in General Grants sincerity about
civil service reform. But no system pro
viding for the future will satisfy us, or
ought to satisfy the country, if the men
now holding Office be allowed to thus pros
titute their authority.

tltral colleges. Minor subjects were re-
ferred to committees. who will report at
tho next meeting in February. 1873
The agricultural convention which has
been in session the past three days attracts
much attention. The representation from
the South is not lars", but able and infu

The Monroe Mtelhgencer says Of the
representatives, from that parish:
Since our return home we have been re
pcated!y asked by some Republican friends
whether it was true that our representatives
in The Legislature, Hons. o. III. Brewster
and a. Oyerton. had gone over to the
Democrats. To this we reply, emphatically,
"No."
Both Of our representatives acted in an
entirely independent and conscientious
manner, and their course in the contest was
aotuated by pure and honorable motives
If there was any going ovor to the Demo
crats, it was on the part of gentlemen who
allowed their ambition to get the better of
their judgment.
AS soon as Messrs. Brewster and Overton
return home, we propose having a grand
rally OF the Republicans Of Ouachita parish.
at which these gentlemen will fully explain
their reasons for the course they have pur-
sued.

evidence to show that our government was
privy to the sale of arms and ammunition
to France, in open violation of international
law, and that the difference in the amount
received by the government agent in New
York from France on account of these sales
and the sums paid into the treasury was
$2,400,0O0. Summers showing OF the case
was not so effective as it might have been,
as he was constantly interrupted by such
Grant Senators as Harlan, Morton and
Conkling. The Senate adjourned imme-
diately after Harlan took the floor to reply
to Sumner.
Tomorrow Schurz and Conkling will
speak to the resolution. Schurz, from his
knowledge Of the subject, will undoubtedly
make one of his usually mastery efforts,
while Conkling will defend the New York
military ring and Grant.
Both the administration organs here have
articles this morning defending the trans
action. The Chronicle says there is no VIC
lation of neutral obligation in our govern
ment having sold arms to French agents;
while the Republican says the charges of
defalcation against Rufus 1ngles must be
proven before the people will believe them.
