THE PEOPLE INDoRsE THE GOVERNOR;

Mr., T. n. Marks is representative cl'i-
zen of Louisiana. Foremost III charltieo
and enterprises of all kinds that may con
duce to the public welfare, he IS almost
universally known, and, wherever known
respected. AS president 1T became MS
duty, couple of evenings ago, to MAKE
an annual report to the Firemens Chari-
table Association, and in it he took espe-
cial occasion to speak Of Governor war
moth on his merits His Endorsement was
most unstinted in its terms, and bore
the strongest evidence OF having been
prompted bya sincere and earnest regard
Mr.. Marks, in thus commencing his eH-
cellency, expressed not only the all pu'
unanimous sentiments of the gallant mem
bcrs of our fire brigade, but Of all cltl-
zens who have formed their opinions upon
candid and fair investigation OF Cover
nor WarmotL's course, and put aside the
untruthful and incendiary appeals OF
partisan journals and place-seekln5 dema-
gogues. The Governor has won the popu-
lar heart and popular sympathy. His IN
flexible opposition to entertainments upon
public rights, and hundred vetoes OF
schemes for plundering the State. prove
an honorable record that no mendacious
attacks of the bogus reformers can de-
stroy.
The people are with Governor War
moth. heart and soul, and will permit
neither chicanery nor violence to prevail

TIE SITUATION,

The charge made yesterday, under oath,
by certain members of the House against
the Governor, several members of the
General Assembly, and police officers, is
the baldest of pretenses. The real object
was to reduce the Republican majority liz
the House SO that the coalition would be
strong enough to unseat Republican mem
bers and put enough Democrats in to in
sure permanent majority. The absence
OF quorum alone prevented the consum-
nation of this piece of strategy. And as
the colored members are able to see clear
ly by this time the inevitable tendency of
things, they should rally as one man to
save themselves. For we assure them that
they are all included in the general plan
of expulsion. In ten days from this date
there will not be a colored member in the
House, unless all of them at once stand
firmly by each other. Every Republican
vote lost to them is but a step in the
march of the enemy upon themselves.
Let it be the duty of the House, upon
assembling this morning, to declare the
whole proceedings Of the first session
yesterday informal and void The
members that the coalition attempted
to Unseat should be at once quoted
in their seats. Ills should be done
quietly, without noise or parade of
any kind. A vote is effective, while
an angry, exciting harangue can accom-
plish nothing. We call upon our friends
to remember their Own personal dignity,
and conduct themselves as men should
who are fighting the battle for their hber-
ties and privileges.
The greatest number the coalition
could muster yesterday was forty-two.
The Republicans have ffty-seven. With
this decided majority there is no oc-
casion for alarm or excitement. Let
each man occupy his seat in time, and
there remain and vote until the adjourn
ment
TIL e coalition yesterday played its last
trump and failed The comp Eetnt of re-
sorting to the federal courts sufficiently
discloses its weakness. The charges were
merely trumred up as an excuse to detain
the members from their seats until the
House could be manipulated. This rash
game is not likely to be repeated. It
failed completely and leaves the party
that resorted to it infinitely worse Oft, if
possible, that it was before

deceived by telegraph dispatch, nor be
induced to relinquish his command to

States marshal or any other partisan
of the coalition. This is an advan-
tage which orr friends did not os-

HON. THOMAS GREEN DAVIDSON.

One of the most prominent Democratic
manly stand against the attempted revo-
luton yesterday. Hon. Thomas Green
Davidson, whose name and familiar
DESIGNATION of "Old Democratic War
horse are almost household words
throughout the State, and who, for many
years, has represented that party III
either branch Of the Legislature and in
the United States Congress, denounced
the coalition Of Democrats and boiling
Republicans in the most sarcastic and in
dignant terms. We call especial attention
to the report of his speech in the House
proceedings in another column.
Mr. Davidson declared that lie had
lived and would die an old line Demo-
crat, believing in, and working in every
honorable way for the success Of lis party
but he would not resort 10 or countenance
any contemplate affidavit making trick
to illegally and fraudulently accomplish
that end. Those who might call him a
Warmoth man would tell falsehood. His
independence and convictions of right
Were above purchase BY any Governor, or
Customhouse ring either, and he was
willing that his course should be passed
upon by the people who have heaped
honors upon him through long and ac-
tive career.
If the Democratic party was controlled
by men possessing a high sense of justice
and a freedom from unreasonable preju-
dice, like Mr.. Davidson, il would be for
tunate thing for the tranquility and ma
terial interests of Louisiana

A GILL For JUSTICE.

The Bee, in referring to the bills which
lature without his signature, is forced to
admit that these yetoes By the Governor
evidence a strong desire on his part to
protect the people from some very unjust
measures. If the Bee had gone little
further it might have assisted the effort
which the Governor has made more
healthily; for if it had said that it was
because Of these vetOes that certain mem
bers of the Legislature were now pursuing
the Governor, it would have reported only
what was true, and it might have infu-
enced some honest men to be less violent
in their opposition to an officer who was
making enemies by standing between
spectators and the State treasury.
