THE STATE HOUSE.

Both branches of the Legislature were
in session yesterday.
The Senate was called to order by Lieu
tenant Governor Pinchback at twelve
o'clock, thirty-two members answering
roll call After the announcement of the
various standing committees published in
to-day's REPUBLICAN under the heading of
official journal Of the proceedings Of the
Senate-Mr. Sypher asked to be excused
from serving on the Committee on Pen
sions. A communication was received
from the Warrant Clerk. 1t was corrected
and adopted.
Mr.. Blackman moved that there be
committee to investigate the Warrant
Clerks report. Whereupon Mr. Hun
saker stated that he was chairman of a
similar committee appointed during last
session, and that the committee was wait
ing to hear from Mr.. COPELAND, memb er
OF the committee, before making a report
Mr.. Lewis stated he was in favor of new
last session. The old committee had al
ready delayed the work too long. Mr..
COPELAND said he had vainly endeavored
to meet the committee to have an investi-
cation of the books of the Warrant Clerk.
Mr.. J. Pinckney Smith.
Mr. Hunsaker said he would present his
report next week, when the Senate. if il
saw proper, might appoint new commit
tee to continue the investigation. Mr..
Lewis said he was in favor of the new
committee. 1t would restore public con-
fidence by showing that the Senate was in
earnest in the matter. The election of
Mr. Pinchback to the Presidency of the
Senate created vacancy in the old COM
mittee. Mr.. Blackman was appointed to
fill that vacancy, and, on motion of Mr.
McMillen, the communication of the War

been true to their obligations. But it will
take the Bee many years to convince the
Northern press of the truth Of its PROPOSE
tons, to wit: that Governor Warmoth is
usurper and tyrant, the enemy of Repub-

are corrupt; that the dominant party of
this State is not sustained by the majority
Of voters, and that the late coalition OF

ANOTHER Muss SUGGESTED.

A dangerous eruption of civil war again

ner has proposed law that all men shall

public hotels, the Times grows lusty for
new rebellion. No canting Puritan from
Massachusetts shall interfere with the right
of the people of Texas or California to eat
their hash or raise their children accord
mo to their own notions And If such
canting Puritan attempts this thing, then
the dogs of war that lie around the Times
office in profusion will be set upon HIM as
certain as the coming of to-morrow's sum-
There is one point about this Homef1c
challenge of the Times which we 90 not
like. and that is where it seems to rely
upon the degrees Of latitude and longi-
tude that divide it from the canting Pun
tanical oppressor of Massachusetts as Its
greatest safety. This might create the
impression that if Mr.. Sumner were closer
at hand the defiance would not be so vlg-
orous. Let this cowardly suggestion be
denied at once either by the people OF
Texas and California or by their organ in
Louisiana Let the braves who will net
be meddled with put themselves boldly on
the record as daring enough to ''put a
head upon the canting Puritan IN his an
cestral halls Why not send a committee
to toot this new challenge to the oppressor
at the foot of Bunker Hill monument.
Perhaps a copy Of the Times pasted to
that venerable pile might brighten the
"canting Puritans." Who will do the
daring deed2

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 81 1872

hends the full significance of this later
and smaller rebellion that has thus sue
cumbed to the law and to the constituted
authorities? If it had succeeded every
Republican in the State would have been
hunted down as ''hireling," and the very
air itself would have been impregnated
with terror and violence. And yet there
are men, who pretend to be Republicans,
who fell into this Democratic device out
of pure enmity to Governor Warmoth.
Verify, the language Of reform has been
abused to cheat our senses with. Verify,
strategy had we'll nigh won victory where
it has been beaten so often in an open
fight. Let us be thankful for the result

GAIL You. THAT FxIB7 Every step Of
the Radical Senators shows that they do
not intend. il they can prevent II. to
allow an honest and impartial ,investiga-
ton into Grants administration. They
have fought for weeks . resolution of
inquiry into the sale Of arms to France
during the recent war in Europe, and
now. since public. opinion has forced
the passage OF the resolution. Radical
Administration caucus has made ont q
committee that is simply shameful. OF
the seven men who compose it. there is
bpt one Democrat-Stephenson, of Ken
tucky-and not one Republican who has
been active in procuring the investiga-
tion. With six Radicals against one
Democrat, we may readily calculate the
chances for an honest result. The very
formation of such q. committee is tanta-
monnt to confession Of guilt, and we
are very much mistaken if the public
does not put that construction upon it,
and thus make up it's judgment in ad-
vance of the report. Nobody expects a
fair one; then why wait for it?
