The Opelousas Jou,ual reasons thus;

One thing is certain, bad laws can not be
w1lfully passed unless majority of the
legislators are bad. And even under the
election law it is scarcely. probable that a
majority of bad men would be returned as
elected, if the people did not really vote
for them. SO, the people are somewhat to
blame themselves. Instead of always vot-
ing for the best and ablest men, they allow
themselves to be influenced by partisan
feeling and party allegiance, and vote for
the nominee of caucus of professional
politicians. An Independent candidate,
who relies upon his own merits and his
known ability and personal integrity, gen
orally has but little chance to be elected by
the people. The best way to reyolutionize
polls, by electing the best men, regardless
of politics.

with the mnesty bill. hut without prog
reSs.
Mr.. Morton. during the debate, said he
nesty, and described the arguments in
favor of it as based upon sickly sentimental
ism, and were spurious.
Mr.. Kellogg. from the Committee on
Commerce, reported Mr. Sheldon's bill ad-
mitting certain articles for developing sui
phur manufacture duty free. The bill was
passed, and goes to the President.
Housc.-In committee of the whole on
appropriations, Mr.. Garfield discussed
finances yesterday.
The Committee on Ways aud Means to-
day gave another audience to the tobacco
men. There were twenty-five or thirty of
them present. The fine cut men wanted
the tax to remain as it is, but the plug men
asked for uniform rate of sixteen cents
per pound. There was also some difference
among them as to the bonded warehouse
system.
l.. H. Frayser. of Virginia. was the only
Southern dealer who spoke. He thought
the interests of all would be promoted by a
uniform tax of sixteen cents. The plug
men ought to be put on an equal footing
with the fine cut men. A tax of thirty two
cents was nard for them to carry. They
felt this was wrong, while smoking and fine
cut paid only sixteen cents. At q uniform
rate OF sixteen cents the government would
realize S2S,0O0, 900 annually.
In the third district of Virginia the tObac-
co interest was nearly stagnant. many
hands being idle, owing to the smallness Of
orders. They thought that uniform rate
of sixteen cents would increase the con-
sumption of plug tobacco. They asked for
equal taxation.
The committee will hear other tobacco
men tomorrow.

The Associated Press and the Repubifca

The Associated Press and the Republican.
In this paper, yesterday morning, it was
| denied that Governor Warmoth has made
repeated calls on the President for troops -
! as asserted in an Associated Press dispatch
| of Monday. The Associated Press agent at
Washington disputes the correctness of our
denial and produces certain narrations to
sustain himself.
1t is true that Governor Warmoth did
transmit the resolutions of the Legislature
on Tuesday OF last week, asking for troops.
The Attorney General replied to Governor
Warm0th, declining to furnish troops. II
is true that Governor Warmoth addressed
the Attorney General in reply, not asking
for troops, but explaining that the President
misapprehended the nature of the request
of the General Assembly. This reply was
dated on Tuesday OF last week, and pub
lished in the REPUBLICAN of the subsequent
Thursday.
Granting that Governor Warmoth tele
graphed to Senator West a copy of Carter's
proclamation and a copy of handbills and
extracts from city papers, and requesting
him to lay the same before the President
and Attorney General, and report the re.
suit, it does not prove that the Governor
made an application for troops, and does
not controvert the intent of the declara.
ton we made yesterday morning that
Governor Warmoth has in ho way COM
municated with President Grant for the
past five days"
Governor Warmoth's dispatch to Senator
West was published in Washington papers
and other journals throughout the country
Monday morning, and was undoubtedly
read by President Grant as well as other
readers of the daily news.

a graceful and deserved tribute on the
part of the company to its originator, who
after an unusual succession Of objections
and draw backs. all of which. however,
| were overcome by its indomitable energy
and perseverance, finally succeeded in see
ing this great artery with the West and
North completed, to be atterward controlled
by that wise, unfaltering ability which has
made it a support to hundreds of artisans
along its entire length Of 472 miles, and of
incalculable benefit to the business of Mo-
bile.
Just after entering the building, and to
the left, will be found the ladies' reception
and sitting room, most handsomely fitted
up with all the modern comforts and ap-
pliances: next, beyond this, is the com
pany's ticket office, perfect jewel in its
way, with its stylish black walnut, maple
and beachwoOd bow window, mounted with
stained glass, and overhead a fine clock,
and still further beyond is the check and
baggage room, where baggage will be cared
for and sent to any part of the country.
On the opposite side, at the entrance, is
the gentlemens sitting room, also hand
somely arranged; beyond it is the ticket
office of the Alabama and Grand Trunk
railroad, being an exact counterpart of its
opposite neighbor, and this side is com
pleted by "a proposed lunchroom, where the
hungry and weary traveller may refresh
himself, either after or prior to his trip on
the road.
Within this building is the meeting point
of three separate roads. namely: the Mobile
and Ohio the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas-from whose train the passenger has
only few steps to make in transter-and
the Alabama and Grand Trunk; thus afford
ing all reasonable facilities for reaching al
most any point from the South or North and
Northwest; and only a short visit is neces-
sary to enable our readers to judge for
themselves of the superior comforts offered
i'll this fine building. AS before stated 1t IS
not as yet quite completed, but the com
pany are pushing it ahead as rapidly as
possible, SO that within a pnth or so the
public may be gratitied with an inspection
of its symmetry and excellence, stripped of
the usual necessary but unsightly surround
ings of carpenters and masons work.
