our own. Our individual identity was lost
when we came upon this floor. We have
said that when the hand of murderer
struck Walter Il. Wheyland, that it struck
Sabine parish, and on this floor we are,
as known from the Speakers chair, as
Caddo, New Orleans, Jefferson. or whatever
parish we may represent. We have, there
fore, no right to place the interests of our
constituents in jeopardy by imprudently
leaving this hall The very existence Of
the State government may depend upon the
imprudent act of a single member. Let us,
therefore, if need be, suffer the greatest
inconvenience rather than betray the conf
dence our constituents have repOsed in US.
Let us also maintain the dignity of our
character as Representatives, and not per
init passion or a spirit of revenge to enter
our breasts. We have been sent to guard
the temple Of liberty and to pass laws for
the maintenance Of order and to secure
good government, and it would i'll become
us to initiate the bad spirits by whose evil
deeds we have this day been made to
mourn. True bravery does not demand a
rash exposure Of ourselves to the
attacks of street assassins and our
duty to the people Of this State de-
mands that we should act with prudence
and caution, but if we are forced into a
war for selt:defense. then letus bear our
selves like men, and die bravely at our
posts. In conclusion, let the sad events Of
this day tend to remind us of the uncer-
tainty of human life, and lead us to seek
an interest in the blood Of that Saviour who
has power TO preserve us even III the midst
Of treason and revolution.
Thus bid we farewell to Hon. Walter II.
Wheyland, the citizen, the soldier, the
legislator, the truthful man, the faithful
friend, the brave companion. Bear his
body tenderly to the grave, and let him
quietly rest in tomb hallowed by the dust
of a lnartYr to liberty.

The boys don't do things now like they
did when Noah Webster Was making spell
ing books. An old man near Pleasantville
the other day found rudo boy posting
Lydia Thompson leg bills all over his door
ward fence, and desired him to desist; but
the young sauce-box told him plainly he
would not, and slapped up another naughty
picture. Wont you" said the old man;
= then will fetch you down" So he pulled
out horse pistol, and shot several times at
hun. But this only made the youngster
laugh; for the old man was cross-eyod, and
could not hit barn door. well WE'LL
said the old man, - ii neither words nor
horse pistol will do, must try what virtue

MSenator Wilson gave temperance
lectr in Boston, Sunday evening OF last
wentworth noticing, because he said that
in 0gress, during the last seventeen
yearhe had found that the members who
usedlcohol were invariably the first to be
pros,ted by protracted work. "In my ex-
periee," he said, "while chairman OF the
Comittee on Military Affairs, l always
founthat the men to be relied on were the
men no drank not at ALL" However, Mr.
Wills thought that there were fewer
drinhg men in Congress now than when
he fI went to it. Formerly the night SEES
sionEere dreaded on account of the de-
baucry to which they gave rise. Now,
abou one-quarter of the Senators are
pledd temperance men, and there is not
whanay be called "a hard drinkeI'' in the
Sena at all. The facts are about the same
in thHouse of Representatives. Once the
depaments were full of drunken men,
now ey are the exceptions. Coming from
a sOre to be relied upon, these are inter
estinand cheering facts.

The Field.

The events of yesterday showed the late
belligerents as weakening in numbers, and
mustered in all their force at the Custom
house. Among the number grieyous ques-
tons came up as to the next proceeding,
which no one seemed to clearly understand
and few to comprehend.
The dismissal of the grand jury by Judge
Abel, and the fierce charge made against
them, was regarded in the whole community
as dictated by extreme craftsmanship. That
no bill was found in the Chester case was
owing to the fact that no presentment had
been made.
George w. Carter having indited a note
to the Mayor, informing him that the Gem
saloon, where he presided without quo
rum, was occupied by the police, that pre-
vented ingress and egress, and asking for
interference, received for answer the same
statement previously made to a deputation
of citizens that special act Of the Legisla
ture prevented the Mayors interposition in
affairs of the police.
Certain members of the bar are circglat-
ing petition asking for martial law.
Reports circulated that the Carter body
were about to arrest members of the Gen
eral Assembly created some disgust, which,
however, was now dissipated.
Provided members of the bar could divest
themselves of partisan inclinations, opinions
concerning recent events, and the charge
made against Carter, were decidedly against
the accused avoiding the service OF the
coroners affidavit, which must be carried
out sooner or later.
But, in times when party feeling runs
high, and before the waves recede, great
damage must be inflicted.
The designations which have taken place,
the withdrawing of members, the attend
ance upon the State House of other mem
bers, besides the general secession of Demo
Gratis unconnected with the Legislature,
withdrawing counsel and support, all con-
tribute to the general back down.

COLONEL CARTER.

Colonel Carter, ex-Methodist preacher,
ex-rebel colonel, ex-slaughterhouse in
spectOr and ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives of Louisiana, appears not
to stand in the very best Odor iii his former
home. Texas. The newspapers there are
fearful of his return soon as he shall have
succumbed in his struggle with Governor
WarmOth, and beg us OF New Orleans earn
estly to keep the worthy colonel here. The
Union, published in Houston, writes thus:
Louisiana might felicitate herself at the
loss of Carter, certainly, as she would be rid
of one of the most disreputable political
spectators. For Texas however, that has
the misfortune to have been the former
home of this political chameleon, there
would be danger that Mr.. Carter might
again feel himself inclined to select our
State as the theatre of his patriotic action.
After the examples which he has given In
Louisiana, our political Adventures would,
at all events, receive him with open arms as
a valuable acquisition. The honorable men
of all parties would, however. regard such
an addition to already superintendent cor
ruption and want of principle in this State
with regret and anxiety. Let us hope that
the worthy colonel, when he buckles on his
knapsack in Louisiana, will prudently re-
connoitre before he transfers his new base
of operations from the Mississippi TO the
other side of the Sabine river. Should he do
this he will find that the people in Texas
are now engaged in throwing Oft from their
necks political characters of his stamp. He
will, therefore. act wisely and render the
people of Texas great favor, if, in his tu-
ture plans, he will proceed according to the
same principle in virtue of which he went
from our State to Louisiana, namely: TO go
to that place in order to begin a new career
where he is least of all known

TrSRrUsHISG LYING.-Judge Abel Daseo
his action yesterday in dismissng
he grand jury upon an. article III
one of the most INSCRIPTIONS anu
untruthful partisan sheets that ever us
graced American journalism, and IN 50
doing plainly justified the suspicion that NE;
too. was actuated by partisan political
motives.
The Times and the Citizens Guard, ever
aimee the unfortunate occurrence, have re-
peatedly and deliberately made false state
ments in regard to the shooting OF MAJOR
Chester. They have frequently reiterated
the charge that Messrs. Plnchuack, Harris
and others, who had left the scene, were
participants. and that the police had utter
" failed to investigate the affair or arrest
the guilty parties, in face OF the tact tha1
Mr.. P. Y. Canonge was, on the same eve
ming, arrested by the police, taken before
and identified by Major Chester as the per-
son who did the shooting, and locked up IN
Jail for two days and nights, until it would
have been utter folly to longer MAINTAIN
the pretense that Chester was dangerously
injured.
Yesterday evening the Times endeavcred
to excite popular passion by magnifylng
this assault into "dastardly assassination
while the aSsassindted individual was at the
same time at the Customhouse, seeking to
stir up strife and bloodshed in a community
whereof he is not a member.
In addition to all this, these papers could
and should have known that Mr. Pinchback
and the others they accuse have voluntarily
given bonds before United States commits
sioner to answer the charge of attacking
. Major Chester-knowing their innocence
and DESTROYS of judicially establishing it.
The Citizens Guard, of course, never pos
sessed public confidence, and if any re
mains to the Times after the termination O
the present excitement, the people deserve
to be gulled and made to fight their OWL
interests
