10. I urge on the House of Represen-
tatives that it pass the bill limiting the
expenses of the General Assembly,
which has already passed the Senate.
I feel that in again pressing these
matters ON your attention l but dis
charge my duty. The delay by your
honorable bodies in responing to these
recommendations and adopting meas
ures of reform has given rise to sus-
picion and doubt as to the sincerity
and good faith of the profession of
your members, especially those who
are supposed to be cooperating with
me in the administration OF the State
government. 1t is to set at rest all
doupt, if there could be any, as to my
own position on these matters, that |
address you on this occasion. | have
repeatedly expressed my confidence
in the professions you have made to
me, and have gone SO far as to assure
the public that no time would be lost
in responding to the popular demand
for political and economical reform.
So fully have committals been made
on this subject that a failure to crys-
tallize them into law would be univer-
sally, and, I will candidly add, justly
regarded as unmitigated treachery and
contempt for public opinion.
H. C. WARMOTH,
Governor of Louisiana.

Tt seems that the English Govern
ment will not accept the treaty of
Washington in regard to the Alabama
Claims so readily as was anticipated,
and it is not improbable war be-
tween England and the United States
may yet be the elimination of the
long pending question. Affairs are
assuming a very threatening aspect,
and it will not be matter of surprise if
open hostilities between the two gov
ernments are commenced before many
weeks have passed. The English
press and ministry protest against the
demands of our Government as exor-
bitant and not to be submitted to,
while there is an evident determine
ton ON the part of the United States
authorities to insist upon their full
payment. The people of both coun-
tries deem that the question of ma
tional honor is involved, and that is a
tender point upon which TO touch Ell
ther patriotic American or a loyal
Johnny Bull. While it is to be hoped a
peaceable adjustment of the difficulty
may yet be arrived at, we should be
10th to see our Government allow any
Infringement upon its integrity and
the honor of our flag, and this feeling
win be participated in by the mass of
the people of the country. If it is
necessary to the prevention of such
Infringement that Mother England re-
ceive another chastisement at the
hands of this Government, our people
will be nothing 10th to administer it.

In answer to our statement that the
Custom House Republicans have aft
lated with the Democrats, the Red
Riuer Nears cites us the fact that chief
among the supporters of Governor
Warmoth in the House of Represent
atiyes is that old democratic war
horse" Thomas Green Davidson.
True enough, friend NeUs i; but the
two or three Democrats in the Assem-
bly, who have sided with the Cover
nor have been denounced by their
Democratic brethren as recreants
from the party, and the Democrats
as a party-are hand-in-glove with
the faction you uphold. Those who
support the State Administration are
the exception, and do SO from motives
of personal conviction, ignoring party
ties altogether.

The telegraph reports that the
Grand Duke Alexis and suite left
Memphis Wednesday morning, on the
James Howard, en- route for New Or
leans. The party were to have made
the trip on the magnificent Great Re-
public, the floating palace of the
Western waters, but that boat very
injudiciously went to st. Louis on her
last trip and could not get down to
Memphis on account of the ice gorge
which has blockaded the river at Co
lumbus, Kentucky.
The Grand Duke and party will
make their headquarters at the St.
Charles HoteB in New Orleans, where
they will remain until after the Mardi
Gras festivities. Preparations are be-
ing made by the city authorities to
erect platform in Lafayette Square
from which the royal visitor can OBJ
tain an unobstructed view of the
pageant of the Mystick Krewe, who
will parade the steets after dark in
accordance with their time-honored
custom.
Upon their arrival in the city, the
imperial Duke and suite will be wait
ed upon by the Mayor and City Adj
ministrators, the Governor and State
officers, and officially welcomed to
Louisiana.

Governor Warmoth was before the
Congressional Investigating Commit
tee in New Orleans Monday, and his
testimony was given in his usually
clear and able style. In fact it is such
an undeniable refutation of a number
of malicious charges that have been
made against him by his enemies, and
such complete justification ofhis off
cial course during the late political
troubles, that We shall publish full
synopsis of it in next issue, knowing
that it will be perused with interest
by all our readers.

Our remark of week before last to
effect that the Leader was reprint of
the "ideas and statements of the
National Republican had no reference
to the amount of editorial matter con-
tanned in the Leader nor the frequen-

We merely inferred that the general
tone of the Leader was copied after
that of the Carter hand-organ. This
was anything but a compliment to
our neighbor, but circumstances fully
justified the remark.

the enactment of new measures of re-

AFLATTENED ARGUMENT.

Those who are at all acquainted
with the particulars of the political
contest that has been agltatlng the
people of this State for some time
past, know that the newspapers and
leaders of the coalition opposed to the
State Administration have time and
again charged that Governor Warmoth
controls the New Orleans Republican
by virtue of owning a preponderance
of the stock of the Republican Print
ing Company, and that he derives
vast revenue from the earnings which
the journal is enabled to make by
means of the official patronage with
which it is endowed.
The intent and purpose OF this
has been to combat and counterfeit the
immense influence welded by the Re
publican in favor of the State Admin
istration, and it only needed truth to
substantiate the argument of the CO.
alitionists that the Republican sup
porting Governor Warmoth is simply
equal to Governor Warmoth support
ing himself.
Although we have never deemed
the charge worthy of credence, still it
rratified us to find an editorial state
ment in recent issue of the RepubH-
ca,s to the effect that, though stock
holder, Governor Warmoth does not
own a controlling interest in the jour
nal. and that he has not received one
cent from the concern for over u year
and half.
Those who will be disposed to doubt
the authority of simple statement OF
the Republicans, will please bear in
mind that the charge made by the CO.
alitionists is likewise but a simple
statement; and, taking into consider
alton the character of the respective
parties as regards truthfulness and
fair dealing, we submit if the denial is
not fully sufficient to destroy the allie
cation.

We stated editorially last week that
Senator Hunsaker had produced in
the Senate voucher for three thou
sand dollars which had been fraudu-
lently issued to Senator Blackman,
but we have since ascertained that
the information upon which the state
ment was made was incorrect and
that no such incident occurred. This
explanation is made in justice to our
selves as well as to Mr.. Blackman.

RIGHT FOR ONCE.


Ricey Ners says If it had not been
for his acts, the State Legislature
would not present the spectacle it now
does.n
If our contemporary of the Neacs has
never had the good fortune to hit the
RIGHT nail on the head before, he has
certainly done it this time, for though
his remark is intended to disparage
tn, official to whom it refers, he might
completely exhaust his powers OF COM
position in the attempt and not pay
Governor Warmoth a higher or more
deserved compliment than is contain
ed in the sentence quoted.
Aye, truly, if it had not been for
the decisive course pursued by Gov
ernor Warmoth in defence OF the
State Administration and the Repub-
lican party, the one would now be
completely under the control of the
Democrats and the other a crushed
and broken thing, swept perhaps for
ever from the State. Instead of the
spectacle of Republican Legislature
holding peaceable sessions day after
day at the State Capital, with colored
men participating therein as members,
we should instead witness a Demo-
cratic assemblage from which large
majority of the white and colored Re
publicans had been expelled, and
which would surely expunge from the
statute books all those measures which
have been enacted for the protection
of the rights of all men before the law,
without distinction of race or color.
If the revolutionary movements OF
Geo. w. Garter and his abettors had
succeeded, there would have been
such system of persecution institu-
ted against the men who have been
true to the Republican party as would
have forced them to leave the State
and many of them would have been
lucky to get without its borders. The
same element that made Louisiana a
political he'll in 1866 and 1868 was fol-
lowing Carter about the streets OF
New Orleans three weeks ago, thirst
ing for recurrence of the scenes OF
the ever memorable Both of July, when
men were shot down in cold blood
upon the streets for. no other reason
than being Republicans or having
black skins.
We wish to tell the editor of the
Necs that we were an eyewitness o.
the atrocious Outrages that have made
July Both black day in the history
of Louisiana, and when we recall
those outrages to mind and know that
the same class of men who committed
them rallied under the incendiary cal
of Carter ready and anxious to repeat
their hellish deeds, we cannot imag
inc how any one having the least>sin
cere pretensions to Republieanism car
affiliate with or support them.
If the editor of the Ne,cs is a Repub
hcan and could appreciate how nearl,
New Orleans came being the scene o
a bloody riot that, if the rioters wer,
successful, would have resulted in thu
murder of scores of prominent Repub
licans and the complete demolition o
the party of equal rights, he woult
have uttered the sentence at the com
mencement of this article in differ
ent spirit, and have sincerely thanked
God that there is a man of such tru'
heart and firm will and sagacious fore
sight at the head of the State Govern
ment as II. C. Warmoth has proven
himself to be.
