SALE or THE NEW ORLEANS PICA.
YCNE.
Its Future Policy.

For the past four or five years the P;coyu.e
one OF the Oldest institutions of the city, ha,
had a very checkered and eyentful career
The old proprietor, Mr.. Holbrook, who ha'
conducted that journal for great number O
years with great success, discovered some
two years ago that his paper was losing
money; more from the generally depressed
condition of business in the city, than from
any lack Of judicious management Of the
paper on his part.
Finding purchaser in company of mer
chants who proposed to run the Picayune in
the interests Of the mercantile and conner
cial welfare Of the city, he sold it to them.
After years experience the merchants de-
monstrated fact, that journalists were well
aware OF, that merchants could not run q
newspaper successfully. Under this regime,
the Picayme ran for year, and it ran upon
breakers The consequence was q sale by the
Sheriff to satisfy the demand of few stock.
holders who were liberal enough to advance
$4,000 to their company to keep up the
paper. At this sale Judge Alex. Walker, re.
presenting the Herald Company, became the
purchaser, upon twelve months bond with
Mr.. Joseph Hernandez as security, Mr..
Hernandez being secured by collaterals
furnished by Gov. Warmoth.
After the purchase, Gov. Warmoth, finding
he had an elephant on his hands, sought Mr..
Holbrook, the old proprietor. and offered
him a sale Of the paper that had passed from
his control but short time before. Mr..
Holbrook accepted the proposition, and
agreed to, and did, pay bonus of $4,000 to
Warmoth upon his purchase, and at the same
time agreed to assume the payment of the
10000 for which Walker, as principal. and
Hernandez, as security, were nominally bound.
On the 10Th inst this bond became due, and
Mr.. Holbrook failed to meet the payment,
whereupon Mr.. Hernandez stepped forward
as security and made good the amount, and
thereby becomes possessor Of the Picayune
Office
AS evidence Of the fact which we have
stated, the readers Of the Picayuae will OBJ
serve that since the 18th inst. the name Of
Nh. Holbrook, which appeared at the head Of
the editorial columns. has been Withdrawn.
In other words, he is no longer in charge Of
the establishment, and the Picayuae at pres
ent is owned by Mr.. JOS Hernandez.
What the future policy Of the paper will be
we are not prepared to say. Whether it will
support the interests of the tax-resisters hard
currency, imitation, the bond-holders, or con.
tinue in its present line Of policy, We are
not prepared to say. We await developments
and will Judge the Picayuae in the future by
its editorial columns.

P0LAND's LAW.

That sanctimonious fraud, "gag-law" Po-
land, who has just been SO emphatically re-
pudiated by his Radical constituents in Yer
mont having declared that the present Gov
eminent of Arkansas is unconstitutional
because it repeats the precedent Of the Dorr
rebellion in Rhode Island, Judge Jameson.
of Illinois, member Of his own party, and
the author Of work on Constitutional Con-
ventions which is looked upon as the highest
authority on such questions, addressed him a
letter which is published in that influential
Republican journal, the Chicago Tribune, in
which the presumption and ignorance of the
"played out" Green Mountain legislator are
exposed in the following complimentary
terms:
eff the Arkansas case reminds you of the
Dorr rebellion, it must be either because you
never knew tho facts Of the Dorr rebellion,
or have forgotten them. In the Dorr rebel
lion new State Constitution was drawn up by
q convention Of persons who were no. legal
voters, and adopted by the persons who were
not legal voters, without any permission what
ever from the Legislature. In Arkansas, on
the other hand, the convention was ordered
by the Legislature. If you say that
that Legislature was only empowered
to provide for the amendment of the
Constitution. apd not for the drafting Of q
new Constitution under the rule Of erpressio
u.ius, ercl1so alter;us. reply that the spplica-
bility of this rule to the construction Of the
fundamental law is denied by good legal au-
thority /; but that, even if it be applicable, the
revision of whole Constitution is decidedly
different thing from the proposal OF slight
amendments to it, and that, therefore, the
granting Of the power to do one thing in one
way does not preclude the power to do diff
ferent thing in different way. But you
say the course Of the Legislature is ''unpre-
cedented." Heresgain you are wrong. There
have been no less than twenty-six
cases in which constitutional conventions
have been called by Legislatures which had
no power to do SO conferred on them by the
Constitution under which they sat. It is true
that in three or four of these cases objections
like yours were raised, but they were raised
by minority which wanted no change to be
made, and they never received any attention.
In fact, it may be said to be part of the pub
lie law of the United States that Legislature
may call convention to revise or remodel
the Constitution whenever it may deem
it necessary to do SO. The submission
to the people Of amendments to
the Constitution directly by the Legislature
was resorted to for the first time in American
history by New York and Michigan in the
present year: so that the scheme YOU are adj
vocating in Arkansas, and not the one you
oppose. may fairly be called unprecedented.
The inconvenience Of your system it is hardly
necessary to insist on. 1t might, in time Of
war or Of other public trial. by impeding or
delaying an expression of the popular will,
subject the community to great loss or utter
ruin.

TIE RETURNING BOARD.
Floyd, Of st. Helena, Says He Was Not
Elected.
What Was Done in Secret Session.

The board met yesterday at half-past
HI o'clock, and after the reading Of
the minutes, Mr.. w. H. Campbell was
called to give his statement rela-
tive to papers which were taken from the
armoir standing in the room where the Re-
turning Board holds its session. He said that
his card, published few days ago. contained
full statement, as far as his knowledge went,
concerning what transpired within the room.
Touching the returns from Lafourche par
ish, Mr.. Campbell stated that he had received
them and delivered them to Mr.. Abel, who
gave him receipt therefor. He produced
the receipt. Regarding Floyd, who was q
candidate for Representative in the parish Of
St. Helena, Mr. Campbell said he had con-
versed with him relative to the result of the
election there, and that he (Floyd) adj
United he had been beaten by thirty votes,
Mr. Steele was thereafter called and inter-
rogated regarding the returns from Lafourche
parish.
He said that it had been usual to receive
the returns from the parishes and make a
memorandum OF the papers, also of such
afidavits and other documents as were
filed with them.
1t was not customary to itemize the char
acter Of the papers, The two packages thus
made up were placed in a vault, either in the
Auditors or Treasurer's Office, and a receipt
taken for them. Any one presenting the re-
ceipt could procure the package

of Wednesday relative to the parishes which

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-SENATE-Mr. Sher-
man said he frequently hid questions put TO
him in. regard to the Tariff bill, and he de-
sired now to state that the Conference Com
mittee on that bill had no power to go beyond
the subject matter in dispute between the two
Houses; the first of which was for the modi-
fication of the tobacco tax; the next in regard
to the tax on brokers' sales, and the third in
regard to the tax on hops.
The bill to provide for a new Government
for the District of Columbia, was discussed.
Mr.. Morton offered an amendment to make
the Board Of Commissioners elective by the
qualified voters Of the District, instead of
having them appointed by the President. In
a speech supporting his amendment, he said
he had no doubt it would be said that this bill
intended to get clear of colored suffrage.
Messrx Morrill, of Me-, Thurman and
Bayard argued that Congress was vested with
exclusive control of the District by the Con-
stitution. The first named Senator said it
was expedient to pass this bill, and not have
the history of this District of the last three
or four years repeated. It had been too ex-
pensive for repetition. No vote taken to-day.
HoUsE-A bill was introduced to establish
the Judicial District Of Oklahoma, Indian
Territory, by joint resolution.
A motion to increase the allowance Of the
Bureau of Education failed. A motion to
abolish the bureau failed. The question pro-
voked long debate.
House adjourned.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 16, 1874.
To the President:
respectfully ask you to use your influence
to secure the early departure for Louisiana of
the select committee appointed yesterday. I
am confident that an investigation, thorough
and complete, will vindicate the policy of
your Administration; will strengthen the Re-
publican party, and will place the State Gov
eminent of Louisiana in more Just light
before the country. The presence Of a COM
mittee here at this juncture will also.go far
to secure order, and hope contribute in
some degree to bring about solution of our

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE commission of
engineers on the reclamation of the alluvial
lands OF the Mississippi River, composed Of
Generals Warren and Abbott and Major Burg
guard Of the United States army, Gov
Hebert Of Louisiana, and Col. Sickels Of
Arkansas. has been in session here.
The report of this commission Is proposed
to be searching and elaborate, and will re-
commend the adoption by the General Gov
ernment Of levees and other improvements
upon the Mississippi River.
Previous to the action of Congress upon
the report of the commission, which will ne
cessarily involve much delay, Gov. Hebert
is using all exertions to obtain an appropria-
ton in advance to close the existing crevasses
in his own State before the next food.

With eleven Radical Representatives elected
in Orleans, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, st.
James, St. John, St. Charles and Jefferson
parishes, and which have already been pro
mulgated, the Republican representation thus
far foots up thirty-three members. The
twenty-three Conservative Representatives
elected in this city, with the fourteen above
mentioned, make their representation thirty
.seven-a majority Of four.
Mr.. Whitaker requested that the board
allow counsel to examine the papers in each
contested case before the case was taken up
10y the board.
Mr. Wells said that, by granting the re-
quest, the session of the board would be pro-
longed unnecessarily. He declined to extend
the privilege.
Mr.. Arroyo reminded Mr.. Wells Of the
agreement made concerning counsel He
said that it was understood originally that
counsel should be near at hand--in the clerks
room-to be called when wanted, as it might
possibly occur that some parishes where pro-
tests had been entered, would be passed over
because evidence reciting the grounds upon
which such protests were based, might be
found missing.
It has been established that documentary
evidence accompanying the returns from La
xourche parish has been abstracted, and it is
reasonable to infer that the same might occur
in the case Of any other parish.
Mr.. Arroyo disclosed that during the secret
session of Wednesday it was found that pro-
tests had been entered, but, as no document
accompanied them, they were not considered.
Mr.. Wellss only reply to Mi. Arroyos re-
anonstrance was that when counsel were
wanted they would be called. Tho Board
then went into secret session, and considered,
or de. a :. tied ON, the cases of Sabine and
1t was Sttoscd, in the matter of Sabine, to
admit Self. Representative over Smith, CIV
ing the forneT,4 amajority Of one.
No final decision has been arrived at in the
case of Carroll, but as far as can be ascer'
tanned there is disposition to count in the
redoubtable Benham, and leave CHA, who
was honestly elected, out in the cold. It il
proposed to gire Benham very small major

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE MEETS.

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 1.-THE Legislature
assembled at noon. Nearly all the members
were present. The Governor sent in a mes
sage, claiming that the present condition of
affairs was mainly brought about BY violent
white men for political purposes. He says
"At this moment the State and county au-
thorities are successfully resisted, and the
tree action Of officials is impossible. Armed
insurgents procure orders for local election,
with the Intention that the ballots shall be
cast in such . reign of terror that the will of
the majority shall be undone by the minority.
THE insurgents have deliberately and
knowingly entered on the work of revolu-
ton. and we must face the facts o. they
exist. If the instruction is successful, We
must reduce the majority to the will of the
minority, ard that minority, which means
power by force, must retain it by legislation
as harsh and cruel as the first acts Of vio-
lence, in which case one race will be de-
prived of their rights aud remanded back to
as unfortunate condition as they have ever
known, or else compelled to wander, seeking
freedom rather than homes, as is now the
case with many Of their race in other States"
He makes no recommendations to the Leg
islature, but when it is remembered that the
majority OF the House are blacks, and the
Governors whole message an appeal to the
prejudices of that majority, its general tenor
cannot be mistaken.
He closes as follows: Take such steps as
will overthrow the instruction in Warren
county and prevent a similar occurrence, and
l venture to express the hope that there are
but few of our fellow-citizens who will not
cheerfully respond to any demand made ON
them. The Legislature don't seem to know
how to grapple the problem presented to
them.
Probably they will ask the United States
for troops for Vicksburg probably they will
repeal the law authorizing special elections,
thinking to defeat the special election already
ordered in Warren, on the 31st Of December.
Such an act would hardly be constitutional.
but that makes little difference.
