Lnst Hours Of the Louisiana Legisln


The New Orleans Times Of last Fri
day has the following in regard TO the
the last hours Of the legislature $50
called of that state:
"Tle closing scenes of the session
were marked by tumultuous excite
ment, which, opening out in vigorous
strength early In the evening, grew In
fury ns the hour of adjournment was
neared, and eliminated In n finale OF
such uproar and confessions that Bed
lam broke loose or n multitude of howl
ing wild beasts could not, by the re-
motest possibility, have Offered the
slightest approach to the bewildering
effect produced by these Solons of the
nineteenth century.
"In the house, from the hour of
opening the evening session, Mt Z
O'Clock, the work was lively and pan
demonium stood revealed on earth.
Never, by any chance, were there less
than twenty members speaking at
once, and, by the same rule, not one in
twenty pretended to maintain any ia
miliarty with his seat; but in promis-
cuous tumble all hands roamed through
space, at times shouting like madmen
to gain the attention of the speaker,
at other times making efforts to raise
points of order, to make motions, or
to do one hundred other things which
no one but Louisiana legislator
would think Of"
This evening, the Picayunc editori-
ally says:
at is the current declaration ofmost
of the honest members of the legisla-
ture which terminated its career last
night at twelve o'clock, that the APP
preparation bill under which all dis
bursements of the state must be made,
was never passed, was never submitted
by the speaker, nor voted on by the
members. The reporters of the press,
all spectators, officers Of the house, in
fact every credible witness who was
present during the session, bear the
same testimony. When repeatedly
suggested that the bill had not been
voted on, the reply of members was
shouted: ooh it don't make any diff
ference, we will have it entered in the
journals, and that will do as well.
"There were many other bills in the
same predicament, which never passed,
were never even submitted to the
house, but which, as proposed, have
been entered on the journals and pro.
claimed as laws"

EDITOR TIMEs-I write you n few
lines about Indians in our county
again. 1 have just met one of p party
of rangers who has only recently re-
turned from the pursuit of ten or
twelve Indians. He says they started
them near Cottonwood springs, about
ten miles north of PalO Pinto town,
and pursued them closely tor about ten
miles, when they stopped OH a rough
mountain and made fight.
I iSargeant Strawn was in command OF
the party, and had only nine men, and
the Indians having the advantage of
the ground, they kept up an engage
ment for about an hour when they
retreated. Soon afterwards, Captain
McAdams and fifteen men Joined
them, and pursued the Indians about
thirty miles. Night coming on the
Indians scattered, and the chase was
abandoned. The rangers captured five
horses from them, most of them be-
longing to citizens of this vicinity.
From the amount of trails lately seen
there has hecn quite number of In
dams in the country north of here.
Captain McAdams is now making ar
rangements to start on scout out
west, to be gone several days. He
hopes to intercept some of them as
they 60 out. Yours, etc., J. p.

SIGNALING between the earth and
the planet Venus is suggestion made
in all good faith by a French astromo-
mer, NJ. Charles Cros, who considers
the coming transit of Venus to be a
good opportunity for ascertaining
whether there are inhabitants on that
planet, and, if so, entering into rela-
tion with them He says: at Is possi-
bic that Venus is inhabited, that
amonst its inhabitants are astrono-
mers; that the latter judge the passage
of their planet across the solar disc to
be an object to excite our curiosity;
finally, it is possible that these savantS
will strive i'm some way to make signan
to us at the precise moment when they
might suppose that many telescopes
will be level at their planet"

THE LIGHT INCREASING.

Fair minded men, both in the south
and in the north, have long agreed In
the painful realization that the late
war between the states, notwithstand
ing the thousand heroic actions enacted
during Its progress, had the effect ol
demoralizing the country to an alarm
ing extent. The foundations of goot
society and good government were
shaken as by an earthquake. Ties per
tanning to both were snapped asundei
and the evil passions of men allowed
sway never before known in this coun-
try.
After the war, the parties having
changed positions as belligerents, the
one came to stand Us the conqueroi
and the other as the conquered. To
the victor the temptation to wrong
was too great for his demoralized
condition. He was Deset by a
ravenous set of vultures, under
the guise of extreme loyalists, who had
generally done nothing to serve the
north during the struggle-as class,
selfish, dishonest and cowardly. The
true soldiers of the north, actuated by
the spirit characteristic of brave men,
were often set aside to make room for
the camp followers, speculators and
cotton stealers.
Congress and the public offices of the
government were crowded with those
classes of men, to a large extent thrust
into place by their very impudence, or
even more disreputable means. The
south was literally overrun and trod-
den under foot by the various grades of
federal appointees. Our section be-
came, for time, so discouraged that
thousands of good men became, at least
negatively, demoralized. They refused
to work for reliefby the only means left
thenl-registration and voting. Such
conduct greatly disheartened thousands
of others, and our noblest men were
almost paralyzed by the concurrent
facts.
But, after two or three years struggle
by those who felt the magnitude of the
occasion, state after state was re-
deemed from the political vultures and
right reenthroned. Texas was the last
to reestablish her right to liberty.
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Florida and Arkansas are
yet in bonds-the two last we hope
soon to be placed alongside of Texas.
Alabama will be close by, and then
South Carolina, Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi alone will remain under the
baneful influences referred to.
But, if men will reflect Oh all these
past facts and look at the present, they
will see a bright light ahead, whose
rays are already cheering anxious
hearts. TO say nothing of southern re-
demption, it is plain that a reaction
and publication is going forward in
the north. Men heretofore in high
places, charged with corruption, are,
one by one, being cast aside for the ele-
walton of others deemed honorable.
CORRUPTION is beiLg exposed ilpits own
camp. The president himself has said
and done some significant things in
this direction. The climax of wrong
has been reached and passed, and the
revulsion is at work. Good men, of all
parties, have more to cheer them now
than at any time since the war.

PRIVATE advices from Austin leads
us to believe that there is reaction
there in favor of constitutional con-
yention. There will be an effort made
in the house to perfect the bill and get
full convention, and it is believed
that the measure will yet become q
law, with the condition, perhaps, that
the people shall vote for or against the
holding of the convention, at the sam e
time that the election for delegates
takes place.

people want constitution which shail
preserve liberty. Slavery is played
out.
The conduct of Ex-Governor James
w. Throckmorton in the present crisis,
as in that of 1866 and 1867, has re-
doubled his hold on the hearts OF the
people. Utterly refusing to make any
factious demonstration ON his defeat
for the senate, although believing, AS
WE DO, that he was the choice of the
masses in the state, he is simply the
warm advocate of n convention, as the
shortest, simplest and cheapest mode
of rendering the people of Texas once
more free under government of con-
stitutional liberty.
Again and again, we tell the senate,
give us constitutional convention, and
stop the erroneous and unnecessary eX-
pense of trying judges by impeach-
ment Call convention and adjourn,
and in that way you will save the peo-
pie q million of dollars in taxation.
