Gov CoNvERsE's LETTER-Ihe let
ter wrote by our worthy Governor
Converse in reply to one written to
him by the Hon. John McEnery, who
to-day is the rightful Governor Of
Louisiana, is exciting some attention.
We see nothing in the aforesaid COM
mlnication out Of the way, or that
should create any undue alarm. The
letter of Gov. Converse was civil
and courteous reply to a letter as stat
ed above, that he has received and
which he had an undoubted right to
answer without being hauled for it
as he is 10y some Of the papers Of his
own political party.
John McEnery was in November
last legally elected Governor OF Louis
lana, and but for the occupation OF the
State by Federal troops, under the di-
rection Of the President, the Kellogg
usurpation would not exist for twenty
four hours. All this to advance the
schemes cfGrant's dsreputable broth

A Washington writer says that
some of the Congressman who
were opposed to the robbery
committed by their fellows in
voting themselves pay for past
services already pal | for, are in
clined to refuse the advance, bet
do not like to act singly and alone
lest it should appear OBSERVATIONS.
They want others to join in their
silent protest. This is the sever
est thing that has been said of
Congressionalmorality, foritinti-
mates that acts of honesty are SO
uncommon there that a man
will not engage in them unless
he has extraneous support.
1t is to be supposed that the
rejection of ill-gotten gains was
so simple and instantaneous an
impulse that every man who re-
spected himself gave way to 1t at
once. But in Washington it is
no longer a matter of impulse,
but of calculation and combina-
ton. They take the plumber lest
it should appear odd and eccen-
trio to refuse it-lest it should
reflect injuriously upon the char
acter of their fellows.

Things Mare

Those who had the good for
tune to visit the Senate twenty
five and thirty years ago, will re-
member it as a body remarkable
f r is decorum and dignity, as
well as for the intellectual re-
tiuement and exalted statesman
ship Of the men who composed
it.. Bnt that condition of things
only exists in the memory of
those who witnessed it. The
material of which tie Senate is
at present composed is aptly and
truthfulIy described By the Louis
Vile Courier. journal. The pic>
ture is not at all fattering to the
pride or complimentary to the
mo al or political status of the
American people, but it Is never
theless true, and as humiliating
as it is true. Look ct it:
.sThe Seuate is become the
Theater Conlique OF American
legislation. There Spencer, the
bogus Senator from Alabama,
airuiG OF rejection, lodges in the
rear Of two new members and
tries to ride to his seat behind
them by lodging up his hand AID
taking the oath although his
name has not been called. The
artifice was detected and foiled,
but il was certainly the funniest
attempt at false swearing that
was ever heard of. pinchback,
the coiored sprite from Lou;si-,
ana, next appears on the scene,
fitting around the chamber and
pleading tor admission, forgetful

to serve up in happier days when
he was steward on a steamboat.

Inercnria1 fellow no is full of

ted her share of sport for the

velously t~ul linen in a buck

feet wbirlwind OF rage, fury and

of money-bags. Ii to the per
tormances ,ot the aforesaid wor-
thies we add the antics of the
Patterson family AID the ingen-
ious juggling of Simon Magus
Cameron, the sorcerer, we may
safely conclude that low comedy
has nearly driven old-fashioned

Plain Propositions, for the
CONSIDERATION OF Plain

Suppose, said the New York
Sun, the other day, that lin the
month of Sept.laSt theRepublican
managers had announced that if
they should succeed in the ap
preaching Presidential election,
one of the measures which they
would first enact would be to
raise the salary of President
Grant to $4,000 a year.
Suppose it had also been be-
lieyed by the people that the
Republican majority in Congress,
after having been paid the stipu-
lated salary for their services,
would vote themselves $4,000
each out of the treasury.
Or suppose that these two
propositions had been incorpora-
ted in the Republican platform
adopted by the Philadelphia
convention by which Grant was
nominated for reelection.
How many States would Grant
have carrie !? How many Re-
publican Congressman Wo uld
have been reelected! Is it not
evident that Grant could not
have got a single State, and every
Republican candidate for Con-
gress, running on such a plat
form would have been defeated.
All this being true, is it not.the
insanity of public robbery which
has led Grant to lobby for the
passage of q bill through Con
gress raising his own salary to
500, 900 a year, and which has
led Republican Congressman to
pass that b II? If they dared not
announce this enofmous act of
robbery as "a part of their, plan
before fhs election, how. do they
expect the people to regard it.

The New York Tribune says of
the salary grab:
Fastening this thieviug job to
an appropriation bill only made
the.scheme more speeious; it was
pretended that the salary grab
must be suffered to pass rather
than lose the appropriation
This is false. A disagreement
on the whole bill would have
been instantly remedied in con-
ference; butthe salary job would
have been spoiled. The Presi-
dent, might have vetoed the bill;
but he did inotlschoose to do so.

General Grant has nostnnn

General Grant has postponed
his projected tour through the
South. Although the season is
still too young to be physically
oppressive, the President doubt
less thinks the political iatmo
sphere may be rather too warm
TO render the trip pleasant. The
fire which he aud his cornwall
friend Durreil have kindled in
Louisiana has produced an un-
comfortable heat throughout the
entire South and Grant Is shrewd
enough to see how difficult it
would be for those whom he in
tended honoring with his pres
ence to entertain him. We adj
n:ire the Generals good taste in
holding off awhile, and We are
delighted 10 see that in social
asthetics he displays such &C
curate knowledge of the delicate
science. While we regret that
it is 30, yet we believe that his
presence would be exceedingly
hateful to the Southern people,
whom they remember his, mar
row, partisan treatment of them.
