A HINT OR TWO.

The Legislature has at last got into
working order, and has put through the
reform measures without the aid of the
Carterites. This viii be the continued
policy of the Republican members of the
General Assembly. True, the presence
of the wandering Senators is en-
tirely inessential to secure wise legis-
htion, for men who think they must 90 by
the way of Bay st. Louis to get from their
homes in this city to the State House can
hardly be needed for their brains Will
somebody send them a Primary Geography,
suitable for young beginners, that they
may see what State they are in? They
will want to find their way over here be-
fore the session closes, because there are
the matters of mleaye and per diem, you
know. Louisiana Senators can't live on
air in the State of Mississippi

Reform I'm SPITE OF THE REFoRMERs.

hhk V64 IN SPlTE OF THE REFOKMERS
The Senate and House of Representa-
tives set the reform ball in motion yester-
day with an impulse that has already had
its effect in knocking all the standing from
under &. W. Carter and his promising
band of reformers. The registration. con-
stabulary and election bills We're repealed
motions to that effect and the votes upon
the same. The Metropolitan Police bill
would probably have gone the way of the
rest if there had been time to prepare
substitute, which is necessity that must
not be overlooked while reform is being
rushed through with such rapidity The
printing bill has also fallen among the
rest, and after these the veto messages Of
the Governor upon the lobby swindles will
be taken up and approved. This is the
way to do work. Here is reform on the
instant from the very men who were said
to be opposed to it ; and here is what might
have been done ten days ago if the mem
bers of the Legislature had met as
they should have done, and proceeded
about their legitimate business. Too
much praise can not be awarded
to the faithful who have stood
at their posts, and waited for the hour to
come when they might respond to the
united wish of all good men in the State.
The vote yesterday settled the status of
the Senators who have remained in the
Senate through the critical days of the last
week, and it also settles the status of the
Senators who have absented themselves
from their posts during the same dis
tressing period. The men who have car
ried all the reform measures are entitled to
the credit; the men who delayed these re-
forms are entitled to all the blame. There
is still much good work to do, and the ab-
sentees can yet redeem themselves if they
promptly attend hereafter in their places,
and proceed with the business of reform.
as suggested in the Governors message.
Let every Republican look to it that he
makes no further mistake. Let those men,
bers of the House who have recently been
following Carter about the streets like a
brood Of lost goslings now return to their
duties. If they desire to place themselves
on record for reform, they will be in haste
about it, as the temper Of the majority fa-
vors dispatch. Also, those well-known
friends of reform, Senators Wilcox and |
Lewis, if they can spare time enough
from their pressing engagements in Bay
St. Louis. will hasten to their own State
and put their shoulders to the rolling
wheel of reform, and help on the good
work.

SOMETHING ABour DoDe1Ne.

If the absent legislators do not return
before another days work is done in the
Legislature, all the reform measures will
be passed, and their names will not be
counted in the journals as having favored
reform. This is quite an interesting item,
for it is usually presumed when
member is absent at the time an important
measure is being voted upon, that he is
lodging the question. And gentlemen
will remember that the journal can not be
amended SO as to include their names after
the vote has been taken and the matter
is closed M.

ings? Can it restore deprecated property
to its value and diverted trade to our mer-
chants ? Would it undo the reform legis-
lation, to secure which it fred its torches
and loaded its revolvers, or professed to. at
least?
The above four propositions it declares
the Warmothites should yield. Half as
many concessions will whitewash its
friends, and they are decidedly weaker in
quality than quantity. We quote;
On the Carter side let there be
!. An abandonment Of the prosecution of
the members of the House and other State
officers who were arrested under the enforce
ment act Of Congress.
=. The annullment or abandonment of the
action OF the House in seating and unseat-
ing members during an absence caused by
arrests OF the United States marshal.
As to the first proposition, We want to
distinctly announce that the gentlemen ar
rested will permit no compromise, but will
have the case tried upon its merits, and if
false or malicious swearing is shown, the
perpetrators must take the consequences.
In regard to the second proposition, we
would remind the Times that, even We're a
quorum present when the attempt was
made, It stands committed against the
legality Of the act
1t is superfuous work to notice the
''spread eagle" demand for reform which
closes this purge for the body polite pre-
scribed by our contemporary, in view Of
the fact that the obnoxious laws" were

A WEAKENED FAITH.

The Citizens Guard had its faith in
General Emory very seriously weakened
ON Saturday, as was evident by what it
said on Sunday. 1t reminded the old
veteran that he was but the servant of the
people, and that he ought to be very re-
spectfui to them when they called at his
Office to instruct him about his duties.
General Emory probably has his own
opinions as to who are the people and who
are the imposters that set themselves up
as the people. This is the way it looks
to us

Of Louisiana should regulate her own af-
fairs in the regular American way. And
this they have done in the most salts

elusive argument that the Republican
party, aided by the respectable and think
ing people Of the United States, are not
yet willing to confess their deprivation to
that extent which the Times afirms of
them through its Democratic correspond
