CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS IN RT-
LATION TO EOUIsIANA.


Concurrent resolutions have been intro
duced into the legislature expressing strong
sympathy for th unfortunate and distressed
citizens of Louisiana, praying Congress to
grant them npublican government, and
instrueting our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress to ''use every honorable
effort in aiding tae intelligent tax paying
citizens Of Louisiana, in the Congress, to OBJ
tain for themsel1es republican form of
government and freedom from the ruinous
taxation imposed by the usurping, sO-called
Kellogg government.
If there ever wss time in the history of
these Southern States when they should be
united in feeling purpose and interest it is
upon them now. Having passed through
long and exhaisting war, with society
broken up, property destroyed, conf
dsnce lost, finances ruined and general
destruction staining them in the face,
it was not surprising that wicked and un-
principled men took advantage of the stu
alton and came in with their miniOns for
the purpose ofsdeTising means whereby well
organized rings OF robbers might fasten
themselves uponthe government, and under
the guise of officers, rob at pleasure. 1t
was great day for them. They did not
hesitate ''to kill the goose that laid the
golden egg" What mattered it with them
if the States did lose their creditG So
they could keep up the semblance of labor
ing with will in their interest, and, in the
mean time, fill their carpet-bags with the
spoils, it was matter of perfect indiffer-
ence what became of the well being of the
people, Deep schemes were perfected
to wrest the offices from the hands
of those who were entitled to them
which were generally successful. Thevoice
of the people was totally disregarded. Men
who had been legally and constitutionally
elected were set aside with all the GOODNESS
of veteran highwaymen. The States were
subjected to their viii, and preyed upon as
wolves would upon the sheepfold.
In the case of Louisiana, the Federal
power was called in to aid them. Kellogg,
with his minions, overturned the legal State
government; and by the aid of Federal
courts and Federal bayonets, republican
government was destroyed, and the offices
and property of the State placed wholly at
their mercy. Taxation and plundering have
become so intolerable, life and property so
insecure, that the citizens ''through their
committee of seventy have appealed to the
United States Congress, praying for the full
fllment of the constitutional guaranty to.
her of republican form of government.

CHIHUAHUA.-We learn from the India
nola Bulletin, of the twenty-sixth instant,
that Messrs. Heyck Il Bro, agents for the
chihuahua Mexican trains, received on
Tuesday last consignment of ninety
thousand Mexican silver dollars. This i'm
portant branch of our commerce is done en-
tirely by wagons travelling several hundred
miles from Northern Mexico to nearest sea-
port-Indianola. The States of chihuahua,
Coahuila, Nueva Leon and adjacent States,
are, by geographical position, naturally in
debted to Matagorda bay for their maritime
exports and importatlons. With railroad
facilities entended farther west, an i'm
mense trade would be built up between
Northern Mexico and this port.

OBSCENE AND VULGAR languages.


SAN act to punish the use of obscene and
vulgar language, " has been introduced into
the Senate, and referred to the judiciary
Committee. The committee, through their
chairman, Judge Ireland, very properly re
turned the same, and recommended its pas
sage" We are glad that the attention OF
the Legislature has been called to this out
rageous practice. 1t is high time that par
ties who have neither respect for themselves
nor other people should be made to fear the
consequences of violation of the rules of
decency and good order. It is the most dis
gusting habit which man can fall into. 1t
is violation of the first laws of society; a
disregard of the feelings of others, which
ought to be severely punished. There are
certain creatures who call themselves men
who believe that such conduct is evidence Of
manhood, of knowledge of the ways of
the world, and that people will believe
that they are fine fellows, very smart, and
worthy of great consideration. But how
much mistaken They are talked about as
the very dregs of society; as men who are
to be eavoided as moral leprosy. Fathers and
mothers would be shocked to know that
their sons kept their company. And well
they might be. Nothing but the most Sc
rious injury could result from such associa-
ton. The child would hear words which
would eat into his very soul, and perhaps
be instrumental in hardening his nature,
and preparing him to cut loose from all re-
straints; to plunge down into the depthssof
infany, where all social ties would be sew
cred, and be left to wander and drift away
from the presence of the good and pure, a
homeless vagrant, an outcast from society.

THE following special dispatch to the
Galveston Ners will throw little more
light upon the movements of certain disap-
pointed Radicals, who desire to overthrow
the Legitimate government of Texas that
they may be placed in power. The people
Of the State should register their names, SO
that il all time to come they may be remem-
bered:
WASHINGTON, March "a. Senator Morton
presented in the Senate to-day memorial
three columns long, setting forth the recent
political history of Texas, as viewed from a
Radical standpoint, and asking Congress to
interfere in overturning the present State
government. The memorialists say:
"We thought we had the right to ask for
assistance against this species of violence.
We have done so, but perhaps we did not
ask in the right way.
'sThere may have been some want Of for
mality in our appeal, OF we may have been
forestalled by interested slanderers."
The memorial was signed by Boulds
Baker, Sam W., Johnson, Stanley Welch,
A. ]. Hamilton, and about fifty others and
was referred to the Committee on Privilege
and Elections.
Senator Flanagan has another of these pc
titions, signed by citizens of San Antonio,
and Others are on their way here.
THE bridge at Fulton, over Red River, is
completed, and trains can pass.
