By consent. Mr.. La Saliniere, Of st. Mar
tin, submitted the following communication
which was ordered to DO inserted in the
minutes: e7
To the Honorable Speaker and Members OF the
House OF representatives:
By the revolutionary and Illegal arrest
by United States commissioner OF twenty
members Of the House of Representatives,
the number in the House was SO reduced
that Mr.. Carter aud his friends, in order to
use us, had Messrs. La Saliniere and NC
Farland turned out Of the House and our
selves seated in their places.
We do not believe that it would be hon.
orable for US to occupy seats in your honor

legal means, and we do hereby decline to
take the seats of the gentlemen above
named, and do hereby resign all right and
THEOGENE CASTILLO,
CHARLES NEVEN. 4.
New Orleans, January l6, 1872.
Mr.. La Saliniere, of St. Martin, claimed
the floor, desiring to speak upon d privi-
legged question.
Granted unanimously.
Mr.. La Saliniere-Mr. Speaker, the kind
reception accorded by your honorable body
signed by Messrs. Castillo and Neven, Of
St. Martin, induces me to make few remarks
in connection Herewith. At q time when
the worst passions of men are rampant in our
midst, when brother is opposed to brother
in the political struggle now going on IN
this city, this communication comes to us
in manner that cOnclusively proves that
Notwithstanding the fact that riot and rev.
olution, hydra-like, attempt to raise
standard in our midst, that we can thank
heaven that the honest Republicans OF the
State, though they May have been dazzled
for moment by the sOphistries OF the
enemy, have not forfeited their self
respect, and, like Esau Of old. sold all that
men hold sacred for mess of pottage.
OF this description are the two gentlemen
whose names are appended to the dOcu-
have hOnored with applause.
thank you in their name for the kind
ness with which their communication. was
received. We are all liable to be deceived.
These gentlemen were under the impression
that in joining the standard of revolution.
raised by George w. Carter, . standard
that like meteor flashed brightly through
the streets Of New Orleans until it eyapOra-
ted when coming nearly in contact with
very Longstreet). ! say that these gentle
men were under the impression that the
parties opposing the State government
were good and true Republicans; that
they had as much right to- support Carter,
Packard, Casey, Lowell, and my little friend
Wharton, as We to support the State ad-
the Governor. That was the idea enter
tanned by Messrs. Castillo and Neven, Of
ST. Martin. Good, true. honest Republicans,
they were deceived by that clique, who, to
gain power, would sacrifice all that half
million of the boys in blue had fought for,
and, God be thanked, had gained! They
discovered their error. How When the
leaders of the Democracy insinuated them
selves into their caucuses, patted Carter on
the shoulder they knew him of Old), fat
tered johnson and requested old Ben Cad
dis to sing them Old Hundred to tune of
their own making.
Mr.. Speaker in so far as the patting, the
singing, ETC.. went, all might have passed
well and happily but, unfortunately for the
disorganizers and revolutionists, the eyes
of few hOnost and true Republicans were
opened. and they saw the reform scheme
that Carter, aided and abetted by pOr-
ton Of played out Republicans, intended
to carry out, by and with the aid and as
sittance of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Speaker, l am authorized by Messrs.
Castillo and Neven to state to this honorable
body that hencefOrth and hereafter all and
Louisiana, Of which Henry Clay WarmOth
is the recognized head and leader
