It is evident that our witty feiiow-citi.

self felt at the national capital, judging
from the following special Washington
dispatch to the st. Louis R.p.L'ica" Of
the tenth instant:
The Senate will take up the Louisiana
case at the opening Of next week. and
there is no doubt that a new election vii!
be ordered before the close of the week.
General Sheridan, who is now here. may be
the Republican candidate for Governor at
the new election. Sheridan being the Oniv.
Louisiana Republican who has never been
successfully charged with havin. stolen
anything, stands high with all parties.
Perhaps George ''can stand it, as he
said about the taxes in one Of his enter

First District tax collectors Office in this

LOOKING BACKWARD,

The stea: purpose Of looking backward
should be to avoid the errors Of the past
and profit by its wisdom. Those who fail
to comprehend these truths are either un-
willing witnesses to what has been and is
transporting. or siuggards in the pathway
OF progress. While We are prepared to
admi: that great changes have been
wrought in the minds Of men in every sec.
ton Of this country during the past decade
and half OF years. we can also assert
truthfuily that the prejudice of the old
pro-slavery %aristocracy has been the chief
stumb!ing-stone IN the way Of the COM
plete restoration. not only of the rights of
the States Of the South. bu: Of tie equal
civil and political rights Of all men :ecog-
nized by the laws o: the United States as
American citizens. I. is a most remarka.
BILE fact that while the leading men OF
other sections 0! the country may have at
first doubted the wisdom Of comforting the
right Of suffrage on the snfranchised race.
they have long since had that doubt :e-
moved and given their constan: sup
port 10 all laws looking TO = ;e-
organization Of the Southern States
upon the basis c: the hroades. rational
liberty consistent with republican govern
ment. I: is also equally remarkable. on
the other hand. tina. a very iarg. number
of those who were once leading men in the
South. and Of the old pro.siavery a~ristoc.
racy. have been very slow in giving in
thei. adhesion 20 the srea: changes the
people have ordained in this country since
the attack Of the old slave power upon its
integrity. Many Of these men are still
looking backward. no: for the purpose of
cleaning wisdom from the past, but with
a view of finding some weak excuse to
continue their opposition to progress.
The progressive men Of the present day
are those who were enfranchised. who
stood by republican government in this
country in the darkest days OF the repub.
lie. and those who. having renowned
their secession and ?ro.s!avsry prcciivi-
ties, have formed the progressive party.
and are doing good service in the cause
of republicanism. !.would have afforded
u pleasure to Number the P.ccy.ue
as among the advocates Of progress il this
country. and particularly in the South.
whore q spirit Of progress IS still SO much
needed. Bat that paper is evidently no:
yet prepared for this course. It prefers to
look TO the past as a means of justifying
continued opposition to the will Of the
majority in this country upon the subjec.
of reconstruction in tie South. 1. de-

sary to be done, all they can do, as well
separated as they could aggregated to-
gether at No. IS Carondelet street. The
Fusionists, from the highest to the lowest,
have now but one thing left to do-wait.
When Congress recognizes their concern,
they can and nc doubt will emerge from
their hiding places, clothed in the
appropriate robes of State, and take
their several places according to the
allotment agreed upon a year or
more ago. At present, however,
their political fate is with a Congress
which, according to their repeated decla-
r%ations. is incapable of making laws for a
free people; which has ground this people
to the dust for no offense at all, nor even
~impropriety, and also upon a President
whom they lose no opportunity to malign
and Willy. Consequently, they have Nc
very brilliant prospect Of political employ
ment for a season. sSeyeral of the mem
bers of the House who have heretofore
acted with this dispersed concern have
returned to their legislative duties and
been received in good standing. In all
human probability We have heard the last
OF the body which at one time assumed
the lofty and imposing position of riva!
to thu law-making power of the State.

POLITICAL ROBBERY AS AN EPIDEMIC.

We are aware that the. retort Of 4,
guoqae. or ''.you are as bad rs I am" is no
argument. but as the parties contending
for official control OF Louisiana have in
their quarrel so raised their voices as to
be heard by the neighbors, and Us all that
each imputes to the other is set down by
the nearer as the eoncordant testimony Of
each against the common character, it is
as we'll to show the rest Of the Union that
the exposed disturbance Of our State is
10 worse thar the exceptional acts which
occur elsewhere, so that Louisiana should
not be ~adjudged as standing in cu.lawry
of good manners and morals.
We pass, with a mere reference. the
official corruption of New York. which
has imprisoned and expatriatei a good
many Of her most prominent politicians.
We do not go into the length Of exposing
the established venality OF an Albany
Legislature as shown palpably in the Erie
investigation. The solid keystone State
has been compelled to nail up Ter trea.
sury door against her representatives.
and to give notice ina new constitution
as the husband Of an extravagant wife is
sometimes compelled to do :orewarnin.
the public from trusting her legislators
on her account. as she will in future pay
no bills Of their contracting.
Louisiana was thought TO stand alone
IL the practice Of going cunning after a
brace Of judge and district attorney, as a
cheap mode OF dismissing & troublesome
prosecution and preventing its renewal.
New York, however. who does nothing e..
cept on the most modern and recherche
PRINCIPLES, lays far over Louisiana in tie

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

We would respectfully sugges: to orr
legislators that there is no species Of CON-
| position which should be so we'll woven
as the letter Of the fundamental law. It
is well known tina: such provisions stand
ing as a buiwark are assaulted with the
utmost tore. and ingenuity. Hence bills
introduced on leave usually ,epresen: the
sentiment and scrutiny OF one mind, and
rarely have that compactness and compre.
hension tina: 8 thoroughly discussed pro.
position emanating from a deliberate com.
mittee. Oar attention has been attracted
to this fnatte- Of constitutional language
by the phraseoiog: of some amendments
proposed to the State constitution. IN
clause No. =. which reads as follows:
Whenever the dest of the State siallhave
been reduced below S25. 900, 900 the consti-
t%utional limit shall remain at the lowest
point reached. beyond which the public
debt shall no: thereafter be increased: and
this rule shall continue in operation until
the deb. is reduced to $4,000. 600. beyond
which it shall not be increased.
is very plain that the public deb. can
moi again Use from any point of depression
to which It may be reduced. but this
clause imposes no obligation to reduce the
deb: g. o. below the presen: maximum.
The presen, bonded debt is composed Of
various obligations which mature at differ
ent periods. There is no obligation in this
clause OF amendment TO pay off these
obligations at maturity. hot to prevent
their renewal at and after maturity. There
appears no provision ever fox paying off
these separate obligations q: maturity.
What. then, Is 20 insure any reduction Of
the funded debt below its present maxi
mum? The attention Of the chairman Of
the Finance Committee is respectfully
called to this phraseology. I. can no: lie
serut:nized too carefully.
