BEFORE the Congressional Investigating
Committee at New Orleans on Thursday,
Captain sinnott and Captain Scott testified
very clearly to briberies in the Legislature,
the latter having delivered money to Camp
bell, Carr, and other members as a consider
alton for votes and influence. sinnott swore
to having been connected with Collector
Casey and Herwig, his chief deputy, in the
handling of a large corruption fund. Casey
and Herwig had in their custody SIS, 900,
understood to be for the purchase of eighteen
Senators.
THE steamer Sabine, from Ouichita river,
with 1900 bales of cotton, collided with the

assistance possible, taking all the passengers

FUSION ENTHUSIASM.

| We should not be surprised if the sug-
geation that the Greeley regular Bepubli-
cans do call State convention and nomi-
nate State ticket calculated to unite all
sensible, patriotic and reform citizens,
prove the only avenue to State redemption
yet. The enthusiasm attempted to be
manifested over the fusion ticket is so
strained, and consequently enervating,
that We doubt if it can long BE main
tanned Nothing but the sacIifce of a
Republican will keep its sickly fires alive.
Judging by the ''fusion" articles admit
ted to the columns Of the Picoyoe, we
Should think that General Sheridan is
picked out as the first sop to Cerberus.
Some safely shielded scribe, signing IS.
to mean and covert attack upon him,
puts the query: "Can't some one say
something for Sheridan some one decent
act that he MAJ at least once in his life
have done, even were it accidental r We
can respond. He did that which neither
IS. Lor tie leaders Of the ticket upon
which he is found, nor the committees APP
psaled to, did: he fought to maintain the
Union; to keep the flag Of freedom waving
over the soil Of Louisiana; to let men utter
their honest sentiments without fear of
tar and feathers Or death; to give human
rights to millions Of en5layed human be-
ings. Whether General Sheridan was
distinguished soldier or no. matters little
until S. can show for his friends an
equally glorious cause and championship.
The Bee mixes its fusion enthusiasm
with little wormwood, and DOMINIC sack
cloth, and heaping ashes upon its delicate
ly balanced head, elbows to the decision
Of the leaders Of the party" Not to be
jocose, had It ''bow-wow- vowed at the de-
cjsion," our contemporary clearly would
have come nearer its true sentiments

ments as follows in letter to the Picoyrne

challenged would have required more
couragf than to fight fifty The unrea-
sonabld ness of the custom did not attract
public Intention 80 soon as its immortality,
which led to the enactment Of prohibitory
laws al ainst the practice almost as soon
as it ecane common, Such laws were
null. How could they be otherwise, when
those Who enacted them were themselves
guilty Rof the ofense they condemned, as
in the Tease Of Francis L, Ct France, and
Chari IS Y, Of Germany:
Fra bee, indeed, may boast Of being the
count h where the modern duelIo had its
birth; Thence It spread rapidly to other
European nations, among the cbiyalry
and nobility, and those who aped their
vices being unable to initiate their viz
tues. n this country dueling has always
been condemned, and always been prac-
ticeds condemned by the religious and
thoughtful, practiced by the would-bG
chiyalrous and heightened; practiced some
times even by those who condemned it, but
Lad not the courage to brave censure even
IN tie cause Of reason and sound moral
ity. Witness the case Of Alexander Ham
iltor
L. point Of fact, dueling in its nature
partakes Of the guilt Of both murder and
suicide, The man who goes tout" on the
field Of honor" (if tie duel is in eanest)
being prepared to kill and to be killed. Any
reasoning, therefore, which justifes a man
il ri5lsing his own life in a private quarrel
for tie chance Of taking that OF another,
justides dueling. And yet there are per-
sons who pretend TO Justify the custom on
the ground that It's prevalence inspires
with wholesome dread of consequences
those Who would otherwise presume Oh
their personal strength, or those still
worse disposed to commit ofenses against
which the law gives no efficient remedy
Unfortunately for the force Of this argu-
ment, it is generally admitted by those
Versed in human nature that where the |
dread of being ':called out" has daunted |
one villain, OF silenced one bully, the GER
tainty Of being 50 dead shot" has prob
ably emboldened hundred,
This is subject, however, upon which !
reasoning has very little practical effect
A man will admit the force Of all that can
be said about the immortality and absurd
ity Of dueling; but if put to the test he
viii probably display his lack Of moral
courage to prove his possession of its III
ferior, physical courage, A healthier tone
Of public sentiment on the subject is, after
all, the only cure for this as for many
other evils; and this happily is gradually
growing. The man, nowadays, who rc-
fuses to fight duel, is not By any means
subjected to the opprobrium which would
have assailed his grandfather fifty years
ago. Men can nov see that if a man has
#ronged another, he does not right that
wrong by shooting at him if lie has been
7ronged he does not right himself b. be

The PicGy9le evidently understands
fusion to mean a cordial support of all
the Last Ditchers on the ticket, milk
and water liberation of the Liberals, and
unstinting abuse Of the Republicans. A
masked scribbIer, who signs his name
IS, " is permitted to indulge in the usual
bigoted TRADES against General Sheridan,
for the reason, probably, that he is the
only man on the ticket who risked his
life for the stars and stripes. If this is TO
be the way the Democrats are to fuse be-
fore the election, how will it be afterward I?
1t is time there was a fair understanding,

THE SITUATION.


The political condition Of affairs il tlis
state i perhaps more anomalous than
ever before in its history. There are no
where that We can perceive concert Of &C
ton and harmony Of opinion Boti Re
publicars aud Democrats, like the myth
ical adventdrer who went to sea upon a
shattered plank, are trusting to miracles
for SAFETY. The principles and precepts
Of the respective organizations are put
aside. and political ezpediency is making
vain but abortive efforts to usurp the long
recognized policy Of parties Men whose
Bympathies are ayerse to fusion, OF antag-
! onistic views and widely sundcred princi-
pies are attempting the dangerous eype-
dent Of acting in concert to pay off old
revenges, or accomplish some personal or
questionable political success. The bar
riers Of party are broken down, and Re
publican and Democrat, Liberal and Re
former are whirling together in the boiling
political caulIron in indiscriminate CON
fusion.
To a stranger viewing tie singular
Spectacle it would appear inexplicable.
1t is no less astonishing to those who have
watched tie developments that have
brought il about from tic beginning.
Heretofore tie most virulent of partisan
contests have been distinguished by clearly
defined opinions In Louisiana, to-day, 10
man can define hi4principIes sincean are
advocating those which have most recently

tions. This truth is illustrated in the re-
cent fusion. Who were more antagonistic
week ago than tie Tine, and the Pjca-
yslos than McEnery ana Penn-tlan
Sheridan and Eusts-tLan SIoanaker and
Zacharie. But the wand Of ezpediercv
waves over them, md their political
