PROGRESS.
Formal Opening Of the New Republican
Office at 1t. LOUis-DeseriPtiOn
Of the Building.

The new Republican office was form
ally opened at st. Louis yesterday, be-
ing the forty-sixth anniversary of the
entrance into the Office as an apprentice
of Colonel George Knapp, the senior
proprietor. ThrOngs of people filled the
Building during the evening, from
the pressrooms in the basement
to the newsrooms in the fifth
story. The edifice is a very hand
some one-the finest in the city
its fronts being of iron, of the Renais-
sance style. 1t has front on Third
street of fseventy-seven feet, and front
on Chestnut street of one hundred and
four feet. 1t is five stories in hight above
the pavement, with a basement twenty
feet in depth. From the sidewalk to
the crest of the dome the distance
is one hundred and twenty-five feet.
The building contains one hundred and
fifty-three windows, large size, set with
plate glass. It has been two years in
course of erection, and cost three hun
dred and fifty thousand nOllars. A fea-
ture of the attractions to-day was the
public exhibition of the Walker, or
London Times, printing machines and
the Bullock press, operating side
by side in working off the weekly edi-
tion of the Republican. A banquet was
spread in two large rooms of the build
ing, which was partaken of by hundreds
of citizens. Speeches We're made by
Colonel Knapp, Hon. Henry T. Blew,
Hon. John Hagan, Hon. John f. Dor
ley and several other of the oldest
citizens. The Republican Of tomorrow
will devote eighteen or twenty columns
to description of its new
building, machinery, presses, etc.,
together with history of
the paper from 1905 to the date of its es-
Enlistment. II elsims that it has the
handsomest and best appointed building
used for printing purposes in the world.

THE RESULT OF THE CONTEST so FAR.
The result yesterday, in the meeting
together Of the Legislature of Louis
lana, was as we had anticipated. 1t was
quiet, peaceful, and effective. Looking
at the matter in the light of consistency,
the Bayonet Legislature, it appears to
US, had right to expect that the same
authority which forbid the assembIage
Of the Peoples Legislature, seized its
usual place of meeting, and protected
the usurpers in their daily sittings by
the bayonet, should have prevented it
from meeting. That this was the ex-
pectation, the legislation of the Bayonet
Legislature and the proclamation of
his mulatto majesty clearly proved.
And a month ago, we have little doubt,
this expectation would have been real
lied. But a months steady light
from the press, and the intelligent
eXpositions of the people of Louisi-
ana have carried conviction to
hundreds of thousands, of the
wrongs inflicted by the Govern
ment of the United States on the
people of Louisiana, and the absolute
necessity of redressing them. From q
squabble between thieves, as it was cum
ningly represented to be by our enemies,
our cause has risen up to be a contest
between the foulest centralism and the
existence of the States-between free
government and political slavery. 1t
was soon discovered that we were not to
be ignored, and that the authorities at
Washington rather became very busy
in ignoring themselves. They really
did nothing. At all events they in
tended to do nothing more than enforce
the laws when legally called on to do so.
They wanted the laws to be predomi-
nant The people--the dear peopleI-
was all their earei But all this sort of
twaddle satisfied nobody; it hardly salts
fled themselves when the fact stood out
before the world that they were ruling
Louisiana by military force. II these
bayonets were withdrawn, they knew
that their Customhouse tools, and
the whole ring Of thieves they have
installed In power as the govern
ment of Louisiana, would col
lapse at once like a pierced bal
loon. Yet, they dared not go further;
angry discomfort was floating up to
Washington from every side, aud beat
ing at the doors of the White House.
Investigation could not be repressed;
and to boot down the people of Louisi-
ana, after robbing them of their govern
ment, was sort Of strategy very like
that which caused King Charles to pre-
vent the English Parliament from meet
ing, and King George to murder the
people of Massachusetts at Bunker Hill.
30 we, the people Of Louisiana, are gra-
el0usly allowed to meet Ia our duly
elected Legislature. One OF our cotem-

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, January S.
IN THE SENATE.

IN 0LoNAAA&s
Senator Morton offered a resolution
appropriating twenty thousand dollars
to defray the expenses of the investiga-
tiOE to be made, by the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, into the cleo
ton troubles in Louisiana and Arkan-
sas, and conferring authority upon the
persons to be deputed by the committee
to make an investigation.
Senator Morton said that it would be
impracticable for the Committee on
Privileges and ELECTIONS to go to the
Stateslin question, 80 therefore it would
be necessary to apfstnt other persons, as
permitted by the resolution of the Senate
adopted yesterday.
Senator Howe asked whether there
was not some doubt as to the power of
the Senate by resolution to authorize
such a commission as the resolution pro-
posed, with power to administer Oaths
and compel the attendance of witnesses.
Senator Morton said the question had
been raised, but he did not think there
was much doubt on the subject. If, how
ever, any witnesses prove refractory,
they might be brought to Washington.
Senators FentOn (Conneeticut) and
Conkling New York;, expressed their
doubtaof the power of the Senate to au-
thorize the committee to delegate its
power to the commission, and the latter
suggested that the investigation might
be made by selecting from witnesses
familiar with the facts in the respective
cases, and examine them in Washing
ton.
Senator Thurman said that to make
the commission satisfactory to the Sen
ate and to the public, it must be COM
posed of persons whose character would
be guarantee of the ability and good
faith, and as such persons must be lber-
ally paid, he thought that twenty thou
sand dollars too small a sum to pay the
expenses of the investigation. As to the
question of authority, if necessary bill
comforting all needed authority could be
passed by the time that fit persons to
act as Commissioners could be found.
On motion of Senator Thurman the
resolution was amended so as to author
ize the commission to have witnesses
sworn in by any State or United States
officer authorized to administer an oath.
The resolution as amended was adopt
ed.
IN THE HOUSE
Mr.. Butler Massachusetts, introduced
a bill to amend the bankruptcy act so
that State corporations, such as insur-
ance companies, etc., shall not be subject
to the provisions of that act, but to the
jurisdiction of the State courts.

ARKANsAw RADICAL OFFICIALS.
The Republican is now published by
the "Little Rock Printing and Publish
ing Company" Captain Prices name
still appears as editor, though report
has it onthe streets that Colonel Nat.
Hill does the principal work. Judge
Mcclure, according to an article in yes
terday's paper, will write editorials
when he feels so disposed, and sit on
the Supreme Bench whenever he de-
sires. Besides this the Minstrel organ
owns up to the charge repeatedly made
against the Chief Justice, that he plays
poker and-well, the Republican Judge
can tell his own tale: 'tB. F. Rice is a
United States Senator, and, of course,
ought to be regarded as the very soul of
honor. He, too, is Mortified because
Judge Mcclure sometimes plays at
very fascinating game called poker, yet,
strange to say, he owes Judge Mcclure
over four thousand dollars as balance
due Judge Mcclure at the close of a lit
tie game of poker, which he has refused
and neglected to pay, though repeatedly
dunned for nearly three years. We
think it as great crime to allow debt
of this kind to go unpaid, especially by
United States Senator, as it is for
Chief Justice to playat the game. These
things among gentlemen are regarded
as debts of honor, but Senator Rice
makes them debts of dishonor-and for
which he ought to be debarred from all
association with gentlemen" These
are specimens of Arkansas radical Off
cials.-Littte Rock Gazette.
