PROMISED REFORMS.

Under this heading the PicGyune again
arraigns the executive for neglecting to re-
form the abuses 50 generally complained
Of in the community. 1t assumes that,
because all bad laws have not been re-
! pealed, there is no intention to correct the
evils of future legislation. Ignoring the
fact that tie Legislature can alone apply
the remedy where wrong has been done,
it parades the eighteen measures" pointed
out by the Governor as requiring imme-
date consideration, and superciiously de-
mands the reason for delay. To this in
quiry a very pertinent answer is at hand
The Governor is not the Legislature He
can only approve bill when it has passed,
but has no power to pass it.
In proof Of his sincerity for reform, he
specifically recommended, in his annual
message, a correction of numerous abuses.
For weeks he and his friends were power
less to urge them further, because no quo
rum could be obtained in the Senate, and
the enemies Of reform We're persistently
hindering legislation. Finally, however,
a quorum was obtained, and four o. the
laws most loudly complained of We're re-
pealed. But as soon as Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature and their allies, in
and out of the General Assembly, heard
this, they interposed their opposition, and
inaugurated a system of wrangling and
dispute unexampled in legislative annals
The reports of the Legislature will show
that these disorganizers are not the Gov
ernor and his adherents. On the contrary
the chief obstacles to legislation have
emanated from the Customhouse Repub-
icans and coalescing Democrats
The Governor, grown impatient with this
incessant debate, sends another message,
reiterating his desire for sound legislation,
and calling upon his friends to carry
through such measures of reform as were
required by the public exigency. And in
this message the Picdynme discovers grave
cause for suspicion. 1t judges Of men by
VIC ItNtIot VI w illt tiltN DStoSUSC tiiC
Governor urges reform, the self-elected or
gan Of the people thinks he is opposed to
it. Governor Warmoth is in the habit of
saying what he means, and doing what he
says.
1t is true that the passage Of necessary
REFORMS has been delayed. But the Gov
ernor and his frielKls have not been respon-
slble for it. The opposition to them has
SO far proceeded from the Democratic
side OF the house, and their allies. If the
Picdyt'ae will arrange with its Democratic
friends in the House and the Senate to
support the Governors recommendations.
and hold them to their promises, we can
safely say it viii have no more cause to
complain Of delay or bad legislation.
1t is time the people fully understood
who it is that is trifing with their inter |
ests The Republican party are pledged
to reform, and will carry it out in truth
and fairness; but by doing so they strike

positions for their own selfish purposes,
Will all be turned out at the same time.
AS we never gave credit to the correspond
ent of the Times for accuracy in
his original statement, so we decline
to invest in his later declarations,
for the reason that the President
seems to be laboring under great mis-
take about the true condition of public
affairs in Louisiana, and there does not
seem to be much hope that he will ever
learn the correct state of the case from
those whose sense of gratitude should
prompt them to be the first to give
it to him. However, we hope for the
best, and as the Democrats are doubtful
about their ability to save Mr.. Packard,
perhaps there is some credit to be attached
to the statement of the correspondent. If
the congressional committee does its duty
freely, as the interests of both the public
and the party demand that it shall, we
have no doubt that the result will then be
as the letter-writer has predicted, for with
a change in the federal officers in this
State the political future of Louisiana
would be relieved of all uncertainty
Otherwise it is involved in great doubt and
perpleXity.

THE STATE HOUSE.

In the Senate yesterday the Election
Committee made favorable report on the
resolution of Senator Blackman requiring
the Secretary of the Senate to notify the
Governor OF the deaths of Senators Fish
ana Pierce, and requesting him to cause
elections TO be held to fill vacancies in the
the Senate ca used thereby
The reg istration act, amending the present
registration law, was again under consid-
Grafton in the Senate yesterday. 1t passed
its second reading and was considered
engro ssed, but motion for its final
passage failed, and the bill will have to be
reached again under the head of unfinished
business.
The conference committee appointed to
consider the appropriation bill for the
General Assembly, reported that they were
unable to agree, and asked that new con
ference committee be appointed. A resolu-
ton to this effect was adopted
Very little business was done in the
House yesterday. A resolution was adopted
the Committee on Railroads to
inquire into the affairs of the New Orleans,
Mobile and Texas, and other railroads, and
ascertain whether they have complied with
their charters; said examinations to be con-
Quoted without expense to the State.
resolution was also passed authorizing
the Speaker to appoint special committee
to investigate the affairs of the Louisiana
State Lottery, without expense to the State.
There is aIEood deal of work in the hands
Of committees which is not yet ready to be
1t IS probable that when this
is matured and reported, the House will act
promptly upon it. In the meantime, the op-
position press will continue to say: THE
action Of the Legislature is exceedingly
triting.'

MR.. JOUBERT ON CARPET-BAGGERs.

Mr.. Joubert, like many other people Of
New Orleans, is opposed to carpet baggers,
but is in glorious state Of uncertainty as
to the meaning of the term When asked
if he knew Of any Democratic carpet-bag-
gers, he replied NO" But he subse-
quently admitted he had known Perry
Fuller, Mr. Creecy, and General Steed-
man. Colonel Casey was once regarded
by him as carpet-bagger, but since his
appointment as Collector this opinion had
been revised. Perhaps his own appoint
ment as Assessor of Internal Revenue by
Casey's brother-in-law had something to do
with this change of view At all events,
Mr. Joubert delighted the Hon. Mr. Sco-
field by swearing that he is Radical Re-
publican. For the chairman of the COM
mittee declared he never should have sus-
pected it from his testimony As definer
of political positions, Mr.. Joubert is not
our most brilliant citizen, and we hope the
committee will bear this fact in mind.

he discovered that the latter had gone off
