nothing but make speeches to incite the
mob to violence, and send out pretended
sergeants alarms, bristling with pistols, to
arrest the WarmOth members and bring
them in to make quorum. On the follow
ing day the Governor applied to the courts
and obtained an injunction against "the
Gem saloon assembly as disorderly and
unlawful; but they declared that the in
junction was illegal, and one member, OF
the name of Stevens, a Democrat, proposed
to bring the judge before the bar of the
House. This suggestion, from member OF
an assembly held in drinking saloon, was,
perhaps, joke.
suddenly turned to a tragedy. Three OF
the pretended sergeants-at arms, sent out
from ''the GEN." attacked and killed Mr..
Wheyland, Republican member Of the
House and friend of WarmOth. The
corOner's jury found it was willful murder,
and that Carter was an accessory before
the fact. The proper magistrate issued a
warrant for his arrest, and he and his now
rapidly decreasing crowd fed to the Gus
tOmhOuse.
To return to the Senate. The Secretary
of the Treasury telegraphed to stop the
Wilderness scandal, and the abscOnding
Senators were obliged to come ashore.
They fed to Mississippi, and set up their
tents at Bay st. Louis, having still among
them the five Customhouse employees above
mentioned, two of them deputy collectors,
who receive each some $40 day for sup
posed services to the United States. We
may roughly estimate that the United
States pays the party of five $25 day for
staying at a hotel in Mississippi.

SENATOR BARBER.

Senator Barber is the author Of the con-
current resolution that passed both houses
of the Legislature on Monday requesting
the Congress of the United States to pass
the civil rights bill recently introduced in
the Seuate by Senator Sumner. The col
ored people of this State have no truer or
ADLER representative of their race at this
time than Senator Barber. Since the
death of Oscar j. Dunn, it would seem
as if his mantle had fallen on Mr.. Barber.
There is no one who approaches nearer to
Dunn in his wise and good qualities than
the gentleman whose name stands at the
head of this article. And in personal APP
pearance he is not unlike the great repre-
sentative of the colored race in this State
who has been gathered to the tomb.

THE DEMOCRACY IN DOUBT.

The Democratic Parish Committee and
the presidents of the ward clubs were in
council last evening" the subject under dis
cussion being the formal recognition Of
the compact between the CustOmhOuse
Republicans and the Democratic party,
and the policy of continuing the league so
as to include joint party organization
and division of nominations for the cam
paign of November next. Our informa-
ton is to the effect that perfect harmony
did not reign at this conclave of the Demo-
cratic brethren, some of the fiery ones de-
nouncins coalitions with Radicals Of
whatever class or degree; others Directing
to action at this time, which might here
after prove binding Tor at least embarrass-
ing). even if the Customhouse ring should
lose the power of assisting the Democracy;
but the mojority seemed to favor the con-
tinuance Of the coalition, on the ground
that no Democrat stands chance for office
if the split in the Republican ranks is not
kept open and widened.
What will be the final decision of the
Democratic sachems, we care not to pro-
phecy, but we candidly acknowledge our
hope that the existing league, with all its
conflicting and homogeneous interests. will
be maintained. We have no fear of the
Republican masses. They can not be Sc
duced into the Democratic ranks under
any specious pretext; and all of those
whilom leaders, whose ambitious schemes
have led them into dark and treacherous
ways. are far less dangerous as open
enemies than as false friends in our own
ranks. In fact, the principals among them
have little choice in the matter. They can
never. by any possibility, regain their lost
standing in the Republican party The
great principles and vital interests they
have betrayed will be carefully guarded
from their control henceforward. And
certainly, the Democracy are welcome to
take these aspiring leaders without follow
ers. and make the best of their bargain.
How many fat offices they will resign to
such allies may be judged by the tradi-
tional policy of that party TO ''get all it
can and keep all it gets" Let the coalition
be maintained.

opposition to the road was about to fail,
and they pulled out their pistols to decide
the argument in the old-fashioned way.
But the reasoning failed. Kentucky has
taken few lessons in modern progress,
and she now refuses to let the bully per-
form the functions of ruler as he did Of
yore. The sergeant-at-arms removed the
beligerents, but he did it politely, out Of
respect to the fashion which he had been
taught to accept as the fittest test of man
hood Pistols and scurrility are not argu-
ments in civilized communities, and as
they die out the Democracy gradually
weakens into the same grave.

A NEW CAUSE OF OFFENSE.

The Bee is so anxious to find q cause for
condemning Governor Warmoth that it
has been forced to invent new offense.
This We find interspersed in the list of old
and exploded ISLANDERS that have formed
the staple capital of his enemies so long
and been used so often that they have
grown threadbare. The following para
graph contains the great accusation:
Then the facts going to show the intlu.
ence which Governor Narmoth has exer-
cised over the members of the Legislature
and judicial departments.
his personal solicitation and dictatiOn of
members of the Legislature and the chair
men thereof, will be heard by the COM
mittee.
This is to say that the Governor of the
State is to occupy the executive cham
Der like one of Gliddon's mummles,
neither moving his hands nor using his in
formation to check bad men nor his per-
suasions to encourage good ones. If he
had done this thing in the past the Bee
might have had the profitable job Of pub
|
but, unfortunately for that journal, the
point had not been discovered at that time
that it was wrong to solicit some regard
for litigants, and thus the Bee lost its
patronage. How, we should like to ask
is the executive to apply his information,
if it is not done by personal communica-
l. l.,&,,
Measures of iniquity are proposed under
specious DISCUSSES which the Governor de-
tects but is forbidden to report to the very
men who need the information, because if
he does this he offends the Bee by the use
of his personal solicitation. Even the
President Of the United States has
been known to enter the halls of
Congress to encourage his friends in their
efforts at legislation, and Governor Hoff-
man, of New York, spent many hours in
the Legislature comforting with the men,
bers as to the measures that were neces-
sary to protect the Tammapy influence in
its hold upon the corporation that it out
ragged and plundered under Tweed and his
associates. But the highest authority upon
the subject that the Bee can demand is yet
to come in the example of General Jack
son, who made himself quite conspicuous
in lobbying, both on the floor and in the
committee rooms Of Congress, against the
national bank. With such an array of
precedents, it is hardly useful to discuss
this question further. AS a citizen and
an officer the Governor has as much right
to discuss public questions with the men,
bers of the Legislature as any other in
dividual in the community; and seeing
that he suppressed little game on behalf
of the Bee itself in one of these argyll
ments, it is advisable that he be still
allowed to use his lungs to protect the
people from other speculations of the same
sort.

WE DON'T SELL RADICAL PAPERS ON
THIS RAILROAD"

We are glad to learn that Colonel II.
S. McComb, president Of the New Or
leans, Jackson and Great Northern rail-
road is in the city, because it is now easy
to inform him of one of the abuses on that
road. Monday morning gentleman
coming into the city from a Western State,
was anxious to see the New Orleans Re-
PUBLICAN. but, on asking the newsboy on
the train for a copy, he was met by the
abrupt reply. I'VE don't sell Radical papers
on this train" 1t is quite probable that no
journal in this city did more toward the
late revolution of the jackson railroad
than the REPUBLICAN, and We only ask
that its sale on the trains Of that road
shall not be subject to the whims and
caprice of the party who holds the news
contract of that road, whether he be an
editorial attache Of the Times, or the young
gentleman known as Mr.. Commit.
This is not the first time that the same
disposition has been shown to exclude
the circulation of the REPUBLICAN on the
jackson railroad, but we hope it will be
the last, even if to accomplish that result
the present contract be annulled and q
new one be given to a party who once
applied for it, and who would see that the
public shall have an opportunity to pur-
chase the New Orleans paper Of their
choice. We have submitted to this news
paper monopoly just about as long as the
patience OF the public can hold out, and
now we ask that it be obliterated.
