ssWhy does not the Governor show to
the people of the State the benefits that
he has accomplished? asks the Bee. Let
us see. He vetoed law that made it
obligatory on every litigant to publish an
advertisement in foreign language in the
Bee. That was positive benefit. as
every poor widow and orphan can tes-
tify, for it saved them from six to
ten dollars in the way of advertising.
He saved the State from building a
wooden road for the rich Democrats on
st. Charles street. He assisted in confer
ring the rights of citizenship on the col
ored people, in spite of the Bee. He
taught such a respect for the law that the
lawless are now afraid of it. Besides,

TIE TIMES AND THE SLAUGHTEREOUsE.

1t seems that the Times is again grow
ing FESTIVE under the exposure Of its mi
qultles. The occasion Of its uneasinese
at present consists in the statement of the
Governor before the investigating com.
mittee to the effect that there had been
bad laws enacted at previous sessions OF
the Legislature
For instance" says the Governor,
| "there was the Crescent CITY Slaughter
house bill; it was engineered by the New
Orleans Times. l think this bill owes its
passage to the interest that paper brought
| to bear to effect it,
The Times is evidently dissatisfied with
this, for the reasons as it alleges:
l. Its irrelevancy and obvious purpose to
travel out of the due course of the inyesti-
CATION III order to make point against an
adversary.
.. Its gross and palpabIe erroneouspess
and lOoseness as to the facts.
SO far from being true that the Times
engineered the slaughterhouse bill, not a
word ever appeared in this paper in favor
of that measure until long after it had be-
come law. From the manner in which
such things were done by the Legislature.
we scarcely knew of the passage of such "a
bill when the Legislature adjourned.
This denial of the Times is evidently
based upon an inadmissable assumption.
A distinction is drawn by the writer be-
tween himself as The ,criter and Mr.. Weed.
the proprietor Of the Times There is no
identity in the Times in connection with
anything relating to the Slaughterhouse
We infer this from the fact that while the
writer of the article referred to may have
been ignorant of the passage of the bill,
the proprietor of the Times was, while the
bill was up for consideration, constantly
around the Legislature, using his personal
influence with members to induce them to
vote for it. In furtherance of this pur-
pose, Mr.. Weed not only used his per-
sonal influence, but used the name and
influence of his paper, in one or two in
stances so potently that it did what money
would have failed to accomplish
The books Of the Slaughterhouse Com
pany will show that the proprietor of the
Times was prominently interested in the
monopoly before the bill was passed, and
many living witnesses are ready to testify
that it WAS mainly through his exertions
that it became law. The statement,
therefore, that, perceiving the great SAM
tary benefits resulting from the abattoir
below the city, was the main inducement |
for the proprietor Of the Times to invest
his money in the enterprise, is hardly |
to the usual sophistty mani
tested by the Tines; nor that the ..power
full combination Of butchers" like the
smoke of battle to Jobs war horse, ex-

This new reason is what Dominic Samp-
son would have called prodigious 1t has
he merit of novelty as well, for we venture
% predict that few persons in the commu-
lity would have suspected that it was to
elieve them from the burdens Of prospec-

BY an adroit inversion and conversion
of language, the two hundred and fifty
editors of the Picayune yesterday man
aged to make tolerably fierce editorial
out of the supplementary message which
Governor Warmoth submitted to the Leg
islature. The jargon that was launched
at the author of the message was only put
in to produce the impression that the ed
itorial and the message were different pro-
auctions. 1t was so thin, as genuine milk,
that the loudest thunder would have failed
to curdle it.

We hear frequent complaints of par
TALLY practiced by the persons in charge
of the doors of the investigating committee
room. BY some means, Democrats of
high and low standing, prominent and
unknown, big and little, are freely ad-
mitted without question or hindrance,
while some well-known Republicans are
denied admittance. We have no doubt
the committee will reform this practice
when they come to hear of its existence.

1t is little bit remarkable, when the
opposition press have occasion to refer to
the effective power and organization of the
Republican party, they cite as the motive
erinciple challenging example the money
its leaders have made. That is the never
failing stimulant that pricks them on to
rivalry. Money is the Republicans crime,
no matter what the pretense to deprive
him Of power. But what then! The DEM
ocrats have not been the first to steal the
livery of heaven to serve the devil in.

MIR. Kenner, as one of the committe,
referred to, was glad to have an oppor
tunity to answer the charge Of Ignorance
made byDr Worrall against the gentle
men composing the committee. Mr. Ken
ner said it was not the first time that this
learned doctor had accused the coloret
people of ignorance; but, upon this occa
sion, the charge of ignorance was made
against committee that embraced Others
than colored men. AS Mr. Thompson is
a member of the committee referred to,
Mr.. Kenner was anxious to know whether
DIR. Worrall charged ignorance upon him.
| But, said Mr.. Kenner, 1 hurl back the
charge of ignorance made by this pedantic
doctor against members OF the House.
This cry Of ignorance has been made be-
fore, and it is made in disrespectful and
presumptuous manner By, one who is far
from being perfect. Mr.. KenAer concluded
by saying the committee to which the act
to amend the registration law was referred
are only taking the time necessary to give
the subject that careful consideration it's
Importance demands.
Mr.. Thompson concluded the discus
sion. He said he Was glad his resolution
had caused so much debate. He wanted
to give m9mbers an opportunity to express
themselves on the recomm andations of re-
form made by the Governor in his late |
message. Mr. Thompson said MIR. Carr
was a very careful legislator He wa, Hts
time to consider carefully the change@ pro-
posed to be made in the registration law.
Ii he wanted to inform himself about
these changes, and was in earnest
about accomplishing reforms, he
could have taken the bill home
and examined it at night Mr.. Carr, said
Mr.. Thompson, is in favor of waiting
until the Senate bill on the same
subject is reported to the House. Mr.
thompson said he was in favor of men,
bers making themselves familiar with the
subject at once, and that is the reason why
he has introduced the resolution before the
House. He introduced it in order to have
the act to amend the registration law re-
ported back to the House, so that it could
be changed to meet the recommendations
OF Governor Warmoth upon the subject
The committee had had the bill in charge
for a week, and it was time something
was done. The people We're demanding
reforms, and they were going to have
them. He said that if it were the will of
the majority in any parish to send Dem
ocrat to the Legislature, the majority
wanted that right secured to them. Mr..
Thompson concluded his remarks by call
ing for the previous question.
At the request of Mr.. Lott the previous |
question was withdrawn in order to offer |
l substitute TO Mr.. Thompson8 resolu-
ion. The substitute required the commit
ZEE to report the act to amend the regis
ration law back to the House tomorrow |
Thursday, III order that it may be |
'mended as recommended by the Cover
lor. Mr.. Lott moved the adoption of
he substitute, upon which motion the
'eas and nays were demanded It was
dopted by votes of seventy-six yeas to
our nays. The House then adjourned

WHAT THEY PROPOSE.

1t is difficult to perceive from the lead
ing editorial Of the Calico Picay,ne, pre-
cisely what reformatory measures they de-
sire to institute. Its language is unexpres-
sive and fails to convey connected idea.
The plain words " INDUCED in are as
difficult to decipher as as an Egyptian HE

countant The differences to be drawn
from the editorial recreation of ''muzzling

but so far as we are able to perceive, has
no political significance.
But says the ''Calico organ:
Let us keep these reflections in mind
while considering the programme of reform
legislation, proposed by the Citizens Com
nlttee OF tItty-One.
Is it implicitly meant by this to call the
Citizens Committee seats, rats and YER

needless to recite the particulars of the
programme. How then are we to consider
1t? What is the necessity of keeping re-
Elections of ''cats, rats and yermin" in
our minds, if we are not to consider the

COMING UP TO TIE WORH.

The Democratic National Committee meets
the situation with high courage and wisdom.
The admirable address of Mr.. Schell, which
we elsewhere print, is the rallying cry for the
short, sharp, and decisive campaign that re-
mains. We may make it end in success, II
we will.
The Democratic State Committee of Ohio
frankly tells the cause of the failure to make
the victory there complete. The Liberal Re-
publicans, it says, gave them all the votes
they needed, and more but they had not
themselves brought out their own vote.
The State Committee of Pennsylvania might
truthfully make o similar explanation. There
were abundant frauds in Philadelphia, as well
as in many of the towns OF the lnte-
ror; but there is besides large element
of the Hartranft majority directly traceable
to apathetic or discontented Democrats. We
were cheated ten thousand in Philadelphia;
we lost a greater number of votes for which
we had reason to look to the party to which
Charles r. Buckalew has been so distinguished
an ornament. We may trust it for better
work, now that its leaders frankly recognize
the situation.
With a majority of $4,000 or $1,000 against
them, the Ohio Liberals are as undaunted
and CHEEKY as though these figures were on the
other side of the political balance-sheet. The
Central Committees have each issued an ad-
dress which rallies their column and reforms
their ranks Not only do the Committees send
forth their note of recall, but they give sub
stantial proof for the faith that is in them.
They point to the fact that Grants majority
of 10000 in 1868 has been reduced more than
one-half; that three Congressman have been
gained, and that even without Ohio the
country can be carried for Greeley in Novem-
ber The Liberal watchword all over the Union
is we can Win ~
