A LEPERl A LEPER!

The very tender moral sensibilities
Of the White League press notably
the New Orleans Bee and Attakapas
SentineLare severely shocked be-
cause the officer commanding the de-
tachment Of troops now in st. Martin
parish is a person who figured in Italy
as a member of the secret society
which sought the assassination of Ma
poleon LII for his treachery to their
native country after his ascension to
the throne Of France. The organ !,
mentioned are especially indignant
that wouldbe political assassin
should acquire honorable distinction
in the military service of our country,
and yet they are the allies and expo
nents of an organization which num-
bers the murder of opponents among
the various plans entertained for OBJ
tanning control Of the government of
Louisiana. If the members of the
Returning Board and leading officials
of the State administration were to
be assassinated tomorrow by White
League cut threats, beyond peradven-
ture the voices OF the Bee and Senti-
mel would be raised in justification of
the crime and laudation of the GRIM
iuals. In Louisiana the standard of
virtue, as measured by Democratic
editors and politicians, is membership
Ct the White League; and the syn
onym Of infamy, is opposition to that
order. According to their peculiar
ideas, White Lacquer can do no
wrong, an anti-Leaguer no praise
worthy act; White League assassin
is a gentleman and devoted patriot,
but person not in sympathy with the
League, who employs the dagger or
or pistol as remedy for real or i'm
aginary political grievances, is very
despicable creature.

MORE INVESTIGATION.

:Obstreperous, revolutionary tou1saz
ana is again to be investigated by 9
Congressional committee. In accord
ance with resolution Of the House
Of Representatives, Speaker Blaine
on Wednesday appointed Hons. Geo.
F. Hoar Of Massachusetts,, William A.
Wheeler Of New York, William p.
Frye of Maine, Charles Foster Of
Ohio, w. w. Phelps of New Jersey,
James G. Robinson Of Illinois and
Clarksoh N. Potter of New York a
special committee to proceed at once
to New Orleans and inquire into the
recent disorders here and the present
condition of affairs. As it is likely
Congress will base future legislation
affecting our commonwealth upon the
report Of this committee, it is crafty
ing to know that the gentlemen COM
posing the inquisitorial body, were
selected with q view to their peculiar
fitness for the accomplishment Of the
important task which has been i'm
posed upon them. The five members
first named are Republicans, the re-
manning two Democrats.
Governor Kellogg has telegraphed
to President Grant as follows:
l respectfully ask you will use your inflr,-
epce to secure the early departure to Louis
lana Of the select committee appointed YES
terday. l am confident that an investigation,
thorough and complete, will vindicate the
policy of your administration will strength
en- the Republican party. and will place the
State government of Louisiana in Il more
Just light before the country. The presence
of a committee here at this juncture will
also go far to secure order, and, hope, con-
tribute in some degree to bring about a So
luton of our ditfieulties.
Truly spoken, Governor! The Re
publican party of Louisiana has no
reason to fear investigation, but, on
the contrary, courts it to the fullest
extent. 1t is the White League con
spirators who have cause to quail be-
fore impartial inquiry into their past
conduct and present attitude.

The conpissien. Of military and

elaborate report of the result of their
Elabors. 1t il understood they will re-
commend that the general govern.
ment take charge Of the building of
levees and other improvements upon
the Mississippi. Ex-Governor p. O.
Hebert of Louisiana, who is a member
Of this commission, has been untiring
in his efforts to secure the adoption
of these views, and is now earnestly
endeavoring to induce Congress to
make an appropriation for the imme-
diate construction of broken levees
that the State and the Louisiana
Levee Company will bt. unable to re-
pair before the spring foods are upon

wish Gov. Hebert God speed in his

LET US HAVE PEACE.

There is no back down in President
Grant upon the Louisiana question.
He understands the situation here as
we'll as any man in the land, aud is
firm in his determination to sustain
the lawful government against the
encroachments of the armed conspira-
tors who seek its overthrow. The
latest expression with which he is
credited regarding Louisiana affairs
is, that if any more violence occurs
here it will be suppressed in manner
that will probably prevent recur-
renee of such outbreaks; lomely
and suggestive phrase he says that
somebody will get hurt" 1t would
be we'll for the men who are clamor-
ing for the use Of force to compel the
Returning Board to perform it's duties
in accordance with White League
dictation instead Of the requirements
Of law, to consider the significance Of
the Presidents remarks and discon-
tinue their unseemly threats.

Hon. E. H. Durell having rendered
his resignation as Judge Of the U. S
District Court for Louisiana, the Pres.
ident has appointed Judge Don. A
Pardee to fill the vacancy. This Sc
lection was urged by Congressman,
Sheldon and other prominent Louis
lana Repqbli-ans, and seems to have
given general satisfaction to the mem
beers Of the New Orleans bar. Judge
Pardee is Republican in politics, all
accomplished jurlst and a gentleman
Of irreproachable integrity.

Loud and long have been the com
plants of the White League press at
the seeming hardness Of the Returning
Board in cauvassing the returns of the
recent election and louder and longer
have been the arguments, and pro
tests, and appeals to the Board by a
pair of White League lawyers, VINO
probably do more to delay the work
in hand than all other causes com
bined.

There is excitement in New Orleans
over the mixed school question, the
primary cause being the appearance
Of colored candidates for admission
to the Girls High School. The pu-
pills have rebelled against the threat
ened admixture, and it is not likely
the educational authorities will en-
deavor to enforce the strict letter OF
the law upon the subject. The New
Orleans Republican openly opposes
mixed schools and deprecates agita-
ton of the matter at this time. There
is no doubt but the mass Of the col
ored people, as well as the white,
prefer separate schools, and we see
no reason why there should DO trouble
upon that head.

With assurance that might be sub

the exemption of parishes where Re-
