WORK FOR THE COMMITTEE.

When Mr.. Scotield's committee arrives
in New Orleans, we shall expect to see
thorough overhaulinS of the Customhouse
pay rolls. 1t will interest the people of
Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York to
know how much they have to pay officials
to run an anti-Republican newspaper;
how many men who are paid by the gov
eminent for their services are in daily
attendance in the Senate or in the sessions
Of the Gem Saloon House Of Representa-
tives; how many men draw pay as clerks,
inspectors, and the like, who never per-
form days work for the government.
Perhaps the committee, acting as agents
Of the United States, may deem it neces-
sary to seize a certain political wigwam III
the tenth ward by virtue of a builders
lien. Certain it is, the structure never
paid expenses, and the party that ad-
vanced the money has no other remedy
than the one suggested We hope the
congressional committee will attend to
the wigwam matter.

The slow sales are caused, according to

POST MORTEM REFLECTIONS.

Our neighbor, the Bee, INDUCES in the
comparatively easy task of criticising the
acts of folly recently committed by the
leaders of the revolutionary party, and
pointing out the cause of failure. We do
not agree with the Bee in its conclusions,
but republish it's article to let our readers
see how lame is the apology put forward
by the ablest organ of the unholy alliance.
All the faults pointed out by the Bee
were actually committed, and they may
have precipitated the catastrophe, but they
were not necessarily fatal. The coalition
lacked leaders: it had no cause; it had no
money: the men who chiefly composed it
had no character. Many of them were
the projectors of the abuses against which
they made cutlery, and the people knew
this and refused to trust them. Had the
leaders been wise they would have read
the signs of their failure several days ago,
and advised their deluded followers to re-
turn one b. one to the duty they came
here to perform.
The following is the Bees apology:
THE END OF THE STRUGGLE.
The return OF the Senators of the opposi-
ton to the Mechanics Institute, on Satur-
day last. was regarded by most persons as
Surrender to Warmoth, and it should
have ended the struggle. The Representa-
tives of the opposition should also have re-
turned to their seats in the House. there
being no object to be gained in keeping up
a separate organization after the Senators
had surrendered. And to disem barrass
them. perhaps. Mr. Carter should have re
leased them from their pledge to him or
formally resigned the Office of Speaker. 1t
ought to be stated that the address to the
people, made by Mr.. Carter in the journals
of Sunday, calling upon them to assemble
on Monday morning, armed and equipped,
for the purpose of taking the State House,
was his own act, and was taken without the
knowledge OF his associates, either those
OF his own party or those of the Denoc-
racy.
We hold it to have been a most unwise
proceeding. and the address itself most
imprudently worded. If he had intended
to play into Warmoth's hands, he could not
have done it more eftectually than by
threatening an attack upon the State
House. Warmoth made immediate and
effective use of it at Washington. 1t was
impossible for President Grant to refuse
Governor Warmoth the aid of General
Emory's troops, as the General Assembly
had been reconstructed on Saturday by the
return to the State House of the Senators
who had been acting with Carter. Grant
could not. it may be presumed. accept the
responsibility of what must have seemed TO
him TO be a threat to excite riot. We do
not justify the vacillating conduct of Presi-
dent Grant but it was our own fault to
trust to him. We might have known that
the Republican leaders at Washington
would not allow him to be Indifferent in
contest like that in which the Democrats
and Carter men have been engaged, espe
cially when it came to blows. Governor
Warmoths strength at Washington was
evidently uuderrated by Carter and his
followers

THE QUARREL BEGIN.

Says George W. Carter: "Now there
fore, in accordance with the constitution
and laws Of Louisiana, and of the inst,uc-
tons of the House Of Representatives, ap-
proved by sixteen members of the Senate, -
1 DO propose to take possession of the
Mechanics Institute by force and arms,
etc.
Says the Bee, which has heretofore been
Carriers ablest organ;
1t ought to be stated that the address to
the people, made by Mr.. Garter in the
journals OF Sunday, calling upon them to
assemble Monday morning, armed and
equipped, for the purpose of taking tho
State House, was his own act, and was
taken without the knowledge Of his asso-
ciates, either those of his own party or those
of the Democracy.
Here is square contradiction, and we
incline to believe in the statements of the

THE DEMOCRATIC SPECIFIC.

Dan voorhees, asserts, with the air Of
cme1 mourner that the people Of the
Southern States are incapable Of attending
to their own affairs, and ascribes our con-
dition to the fact that Congress has dis
franchised all the intelligent men in the
South, and conferred the right of suffrage
upon the ignorant. This reconstruction
bugbear will haunt the old secession SYM
pathizers till the day of their death. They
magnify it into monster, out of all pro-
portions to its true shape, and count the

The Bee scolds Senators Anderson,
Thomas and Lewis in good round terms
because they cleft their colleagues in the
Senatorial ring and returned to the leglti-
mate business of their positions. Leaving
Senator Lewis out of the qllestion-whO
is, by the way in no manner responsible
to the Bee for his couIse-we fail to find
in the conduct of these Senators anything
which deserves its censllre. AT least the
acts complained of by the dual-tongued il
ritant were of such character as must
commend Senators Anderson and Thomas
to all good citizens. They refused to
longer lend themselves to the undignifed
and unparliamentary schemes OF the
quorum breakers. And it should be borne
in mind that, in accepting the positions
they now occupy, they did not take upon
themselves the obligation, either implied
or expressed. to absent themselves from
their seats in the Senate during the session
hours. The place for Senators to defend
the interests of their constituents is on the
floor Of the Senate, not on board revenue
cutter; not at seaside watering place, nor
at a New Orleans grog shop.
There can be no manner Of doubt that
Senators Anderson and Thomas are fully
as able TO Judge OF their duty As their
assailant. And when they come to face
their constituents they need not hesitate
to confess that they had the manliness to
meet their brother Senators fairly and
squarely on the floor Of the Senate and
settle the existing disputes openly. It is
rather the skulking Senator's who were
bound together By compact to vote as
unit on public measures, and who
transferred their manhood to the keeping
of their spokesman, who will find it
difficult to give a satisfactory account of
themselves.
1t is, moreover. manifest that there
were seventeen Senators who could not
by any possibility be persuaded to vote
for the Modification of the proceedings of
the called session: and the sixteen who
signed the compact mishi lave remained
away till doomsday without being able
to coerce the majority. Being in the
minority, it was their duty to submit, and
if they had found this ont on the first day
of the session, it would have been better
for their regulations.
We have nothing to say, at present, of
the two Senators who voted for Mr.. Pinch
back on the sixth of December, and have
been engaged, during the present session,
in the work of disqualification.
