A SIGN.

1t vas delightful yesterday to observe
now the people of New Orleans manifested
their bravery in the face of Citizen Fos-
dick, assumption that bloodshed and
anarchy We're threatened by the revolutions
airy and discretionary condition of
things about us. The beaux parted their
hair Just as near the middle as ever: the
bellies put on their bends and curls with
the same amplitude and grace that makes
them killing even in times of profoundest
peace; mothers paraded their sweetest lit
tie cherubS at the matinees with reckless
unconcern and fathers settled their
family grocery bills as if they expected to
live forever. The laugh Of JOY greeted
every piece of fun, and sympathy sparkled
OF faces that had forgotten their own peril
i'll witnessing the woes of Others If we
had not been told that divided and dis
membered government was contending
about our heads, We should have thought
that peace prevailed and that contentment
held the hearts of the people. Even with
Citizen FoStlick's assurance to the con-
trary, we are constrained to believe that
the country is safe. and that wars rude
alarms are mere devices to cheat us in
advance of the first of April.

IN THE WRONG.

The Carter-Democratic faction gets deep
er il the wrong every hour. They moved
on Dryade5 street yesterday morning, under
the pretense of demanding admission to
the House of Represent tives for their
members. They were informed by the
Governor that they We're free to come in.
every member Of them, including Carter
and the other expelled members. But
this did not suit them. They must first
have the Governor declare Carter to be
Speaker. The Governor very properly
told them that such question must be
decided by the House itself He could not
usurp the functions of the House. This
they could not stand. They came for a
riot, and could not bear a peaceful solu-
ton of the issue.
There has never in all the history of
mobs been anything more inconsistent
than their present attitude. They de-
nounce the Governor as a usrrper because
he Will not usurp the functions of the Leo
islature they bawl for martial law as a
means Of attaining elderly :" and in the
name of the people Of the sovereign
State, they call on the United States to
wipe ont the State government.

CASEY'S DISPATCHES.

Nobody denies that Casey is It patriot,
as that fact can not be disputed His dis
patche, to high officials show that he is a
statesman of no mean calibre Here is
one to Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Hartley:
Do not form hasty opinion regarding
the proceedings in this city. Suspend iudg-
ment till you hear both sides of the ques-
ton as false reports will doubtless he sent
to Washington as to the situation.
Here is another dispatch 10 President
Grant, which we find in Washington
telegram to the New York Heru'd
Trouble increasing. Removal of troops
will complicatc matters. Have not abused
authority. Hartey's dispatch answered
satisfactorily. Let us alone and all will be
right.
We think all is right, and that the Casey
faction are thoroughly defeated

COME HOME.

Nothing is more awkward than an ac-
acknowledgement Of error, especially to a
little mind; and yet nothing is more silly
than an obstinate persistence in error,
after it has been recognized as such by
those engaged in it. 1t is probable that
the prodigal postponed his return home,
apd persisted in masticating the unsavory
and unsatisfying food to which he had
| been reduced by his unsuccessful expert
ment in the philosophy of life, for con-
| siderable time, before he could bring him
self to accept the humiliating alternative
! of returning to his father and acklowledg-
ing that he had committed q blunder
But he felt better afterward. He found
| that such course of conduct had been
worse in the anticipation than it proved in
! the execution. His father was so glad to
see him that he never uttered a single
reproach So it will be with the first
truant Senator who makes up his mind
to initiate the prodigars example, with
this difference in his favor that in all
probability he will not be required to
make any humiliating confession, except
that implied by his appearance in his
proper place in the Senate Chamber. We
feel justified in saying that the fatted calf
is ready, awaiting his return; or that, in
case he should not like veal, bloated
gObbler will be substituted. In fact We
know Of a Jealous Republican who is
already prepared with such contribution
to the forgiveness feast.
1t must, however, be admitted that this
comparison of the Prodigal Son fails in
one important particular. That misguided
youth had none but himself to consult
when he meditated reformation whereas
our ill-guided Senators have their COM
panions in wrong doing, not one of whom
is willing to incur the odium of saying,
"We have made a grave blunder; let US
arise and return to our duty" In view of
this difficulty we would suggest that the
most clear-headed among them should act
on his own responsibility, and if he has
not the courage to make known his inten-
tons to his companions (Which in honor
he ought to do, should quietly make his
appearance in his proper place on Monday
morning. We answer for it that the men,
tai tribulation which may precede the act,
will be amply compensated by the well
come be will receive not to mention the
fatted calf, or the gobbler, as the case may
be. As for those who may follow him, they
will have the fate of all imitators-ne neither
praise nor pudding. Hasten, then, gentle
men. Let each try to be the first in the
praiseworthy project of healing the legis-
latiye breach through which the peoples
time and money are leaking. The lamp
of hope is still burning. Come on,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-01-14
HOW FAIR !!

Suppose Carter was summarily expelled
from the chair and the House. Suppose
the expulsion Of some of his party was by
equally sharp practice. 1t still remains
true that the example was set when the in
comparably grosser outrage was perpetra-
ted of causing large number of the mem
bers to be arrested, taken away, and, while
they were thus in custody, expelling so
many of them, that, by giving their seats
at the same time to men of the Carter
party, the majority was changed. That
was sharp, summary, revolutionary beyond
any precedent to be found in American
history! But now the Carter party ode
mand' Tres. ectfully, of course,) that the
later sharp practice shall be ignored, and
that the former and grosser shall stand .
Oh, how fair How anxious such men
must be to get to work Even honest
haters of Republicanism are not fooled by
such professions of fairness.

SHAMELESS INCONSISTENCY

1t Is the most brazen hardihood we
ever heard Of to charge Governor War
moth with the responsibility for the fail
ure OF legislation, when from the very
first hour of the first day a number of
Senator's, sufficient to prevent quorum,
al anti-Warmoth men, have not only alb
selted themselves, but evaded the search
OF all officers sent to bring them to their
post of duty. They knew, and So did all
the Carterites, that while they were absent
legislation was impossible, and vet they
put IN no appearance. Honest citizens
will pat the blame where it belongs.

THAT CHICKEN GOING HOME TO BOOST.

The Carterites are greatly worried be-
cause of armed men about the halls OF
! legislation can't 'legislate fully and ,cih-
ont intimidation while they are there.
According to their organ, Warmoth has
thus '::for the present stopped all good legis-
lotiOn.."
If the charge We're true it would only re-
mind all candid men that it is only their
chicken going home to roost." They
should bethink themselves of the first APP
pearance of that innocent fowl last August,
when certain Republican convention for
the State of Louisiana was called to meet
on soil outside the State jurisdiction, and
federal bayonets and Gatling guns We're
part of the adornments and aids to
FREE" deliberation But not to 60 back
SO far. What of armed men III the Speak
er's room? Is the Carter faction the only
one having the right to use guns and show
signs of force? The people begin to see
through pretenses.

gained the House and proceeded to ex-
pei enough of the opposition and to seat
their own friends until they obtained a
sufficient number to do business. Thus
organized, they arrested Speaker Ran
dolph and two Republican members, and
held them as prisoners until they were re-
leased by the Supreme Court. The mill
tary has been called upon by Speaker
Randolph to protect the Legislature, but
so far there has been no call for martial
law. The Democracy evidently intends to
kill itself by proving that it is no longer
worthy to live. From one end of the
Union to the other it is the promoter of
disturbances, and wherever it appears as
the author of violence it is certain to be
convicted of being in the wrong

Thaf White Horse.

The Picayune reporter four own reporter

guage was uttered) gives the following as a
part Of the Clay statue speech of Mr.. E. L..
Jewell, on Friday evening:
The time for talking is past, ana the
hour for action has arrived. Meet here to-
morrow morning at eleven o'clock. and
march in a solid body to the State House
and take possession of the building by main
force. If no one else will lead you, procure
me white horse and will lead you. We
have talked over this matter long enough,
and General Emory thinks SO too. for he has
withdrawn his troops from the city. and
will have nothing more to do in the
premises.
We had four reporters detailed yesterday
with positive instructions to find either
death on the pale horse or the belligerent
Mr.. Jewell on that white horse. But they
saw neither horse nor rider

SHIPS come and 60, and all things are
lovely and quiet, except the disconnected
and rapacious few who are never at rest.
Ii martial law was proclaimed tomorrow,
we could not be happier than we are, for
except that We might see more soldiers,
the position of affairs would continue just
as it is.
All the change that we desire to see is
the absolute withdrawal of federal officials
from their unjust and improper interfer-
ence in our State affairs. If the United
States authorities will let the State alone
there will be no further need of anxiety on
the part of Citizen Fosdick, and for his
benefit we hope this thing will be done

CouufinR Without Their Host.

We learn that the Carter faction failed to
secure room at Billy Murphys coffee
house after all. Their denial of the use OF
the Customhouse, ard certain mysterious
hints of having secured room in the Post
office, led many to suppose they had trans
ferred their Capitol from the Gem to
Billy Murphy's private rooms over the
Postotfice saloon. But it now transpires
that the popular and public spirited pro-
prietor of the 'Postotfice' was not annoyed
by the itineratlng body OF men who all
claim to have seats, but no place to put
them in.
Moral: Before giving out that you are
about to take refuge in private quarters,
be sure you first get the consent of the pro-
prietor Billy Murphys establishment yet
fourshes opposite the granite building, and
the Carterites have not where to lag their
heads
