THE message Of Governor Hart
ranft is attracting concentrations not

our neighboribg States. The docu-
ment IS well written, and its state
ments and arguments lucidly and
forclbly put. 1t is necessarily
lengthy, but this should not prevent
its being read by all who desire cor
rect information regarding the affairs
of the Commonwealth. We have
not space for a review Of its princi-
pal features, n5r do we deem it nee
essary when the full text is before
the reader, to judge for himself. We
commend it heartily, and content
ourselves with calling special atten-

WE give below the several dis.
patches from General Sheridan to the
Secretary of War since be has as.
sumed command at New Orleans.
Despite the calumnious proclamations
and dispatches of the White Leagu.
ers aud their sympathizers, the gen.
eral public, with the dispatches in
hand, will await the report of the
General, before they credit the accu-
s%stions so vehemently urged against
him. We miss our guess nightly,
if his report does not fully turn the
tables against the assassins and their
defenders and apologists.

Dr. Missouri, New Orleans, Jan. 5.
Hon. W. W. BelknGp. Secretary of War.
Washington, d. C.:
/ think the terrorism now existing in
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas could
be entirely removed, and confidence and
fair dealing established, by the arrest and
trial OF the ring leaders OF the White
Leagues. 1t Congress would pass a bill
declaring them bahditti, they could be tri-
ed by a Military Commission. The lead
ers of this banditti who murdered the men
here on the fourteenth OF last September,
and more recently at Vicksburg, Missis-
sippi, should, in justice to law and order,
and the peace and prosperity Of this south.
ern part of the country, be punished. Il
J is possible that if the President would is.
sue a proclamation declaring them ban
ditti, no further action need be taken ex.
cept that which would devolye upon me.

Oh Thursday last, the Senate cur

published in this journal Of Decem-
Der 30th-passed the House by near

bill will unquestionably receive the
Presidents signature and became a

on the settlement oe this yexed ques,
tion. Ittakes the finances out of the
political arena for the present, fol
although the next House will be Dem.
o%eratic it cannot undo this Legislation

WIrH all the desperation of drown
ing men grasping at straws, the
Democratic leaders and journals are
trying to work the country in a fer
ment over affairs at New Orleans.
Democratic Governors and Legisla-
tors illuminate pronunciamentoes, the
press ag%onizes. and Senators de
claim. Public meetings TO denOunce
the "outrages" are called, Sheridan
is stigmatized as crazy and brutal,
all Of which means that the Democ-
racy and their allies are laboring in
their vocation to make capital for the
coming Presidential campaign. The
public was treated to precisely this
kind Of stuff at the time Lincoln was
a candidate the second time, and
when the Democracy in National con-
vention pronounced the war a failure,
and wanted it stopped. Then it was
LincoIn's birelings that were playing
the devil with the country, now it
is Grants minions. In q few DAYS
this windbag will be punctured by
the reports from the military COM
manders, and the Congressional Com
mittecs in the South. With a firm
faith that little Phil" viii prevent
further murders in New Orleans, let
Us possess our souls in patience,
awaiting the development of the
truth, and preparing our ears for
mingled pathos AID piercing shrieks
from the Tribune over the r~eopening
Of the Southern outrage mill"

DURING tue last week in Decem-
Der it could be easily gathered from
the Southern dispatches-in fact it
was a matter of boast-that the
Democrats were determined by fair
means or fouln to control the organi-
cation of the Legislature in Louisi.
ana, although the Returning Board
bad declared that ffty-four Republi-
cans, and ffty-two Democrats had
been elected, leaving the doubtful
cases to the decision Of the Legisla-
ture itself. On Monday, the 4th, the
day for the meeting of the Legisla-
ture, it was learned that two Of the
Republican members had been kid
napped-they have since been al
lowed to return-and it was then APP
parent Just how the Democrats in-
tended to have a majority in the
House. On the assembling of that
body, and before the call Of the roll
had been finished, a Democratic mem
ber-evidently by pre-arrangemeni--
jumped to his feet and poved thai
Mr.. Wilt be elected Speaker. This
was responded to by a yell Of ayes,
and was declared carried by the
same member. Wilt rushed upon
the platform, seized the gavel from
the hand Of the old clerk, who in &C.
ccrdance with duty was calling the
House together, and elected him from
the stand. The Democratic members
who bad been rejected by the Re
turning Board were then sworn in,
against the protest Of the Republi-
cans, aud thus the organization,
by fraud and force. was seized spon
by the Democrats
A petition being presented to the
Governor setting forth these facts, he
called upon the military to eject this
fraudulent and Illegally organized
body claiming to be the Legislature,
and accordingly General De Trobri-
and, under orders from General EN-
DRY, 10 command Of the U. S. troops,
expelled the four ursurping Demo-
cratic members. The remaining
Democratic members then withdrew
in a body, and the House was duly
organized by the Republicans, who
at once proceeded TO business.
Having thus been frustrated in
their illegal designs, and fearing the
promptness and determination of
General Phil. Sheridan, who at that
jnncture assumed command OF the de-
partment, the baf1ed Democracy
have resorted to the telegraph and
press to create public sentiment in
their favor. Accordingly 3 howl has
gone up all over the land against the
bayonet rule in Louisiana, and a
m~ournful wall is echoed from the en-
tire Democratic press, eonvulsed
with grief, over the wrongs Of the
lamb-like White Leaguers of the
'hsnd-cuffed" State.
