The LOUISIANA REPoRTs-The congress.
sional committee appointed to investigate
Louisiana affairs have presented to the House
majority and minority report. The ma
jority report is signed by Messrs. Foster.
iueips, Potter ami Marshall, the three frat
named of whom constituted the sub-commit-
tee which was present in New Orleans when
the Legislature was dispersed by General
Sheridan. This majority report comedies
with the views heretofore expressed by the
sub committee, and says
we hold therefore that in November,
1874, the people of the State of Louisiana did
fairly have free, peaceable and full regis
tration and election in which clear Con
sentative majority was elected to the Lower
House of the Legislature, of which majority
the Conservatives were deprived by the un-
just, illegal and arbitrary action of The Re
turning Board"
The committee conclude their report by
the declaration that in their Judgment
"all that is needed in Louisiana is to with
draw the Federal troops and leave the peo,
pie of the State 10 govern themselves"
The minority of the committee, consisting
ofMessrs, Hoar, Wheeler and Frye, also sign.
ed report. These gentlemen, it will be re.
membered, were not satisfied with the report
of the condition ofLouisiana as brought back
by Messrs. Foster, Phelps and Potter, and
went down to New Orleans to see for them
selves. Their report is very bitter upon tic
White League, and they recommend that
Kellogg be recognized as Governor of Loui-
siana.
- Both reports, however, unite in declaring
the Conservative members who were forced
out Of the Legislature by the bayonets of
Sheridan's soldiers were legally elected, and
the action of the Returning Board was not
in accordance with the fair results Of the
election.

A Veteran Radical on his Party,s Defeat.

Thurlow Weed, the veteran politician and
abolition agitator of former days, has writ
ten somewhat remarkable letter to the
New York Tribune, in which he gives re-
view Of the causes of the Republican defeat.
He ascribes it mainly to the "third term"
idea, of which he says no contradiction was
made "by the only person who could by the
utterance of a single sentence have disarmcd
his opponents and treasured his friends"
In regard to resumption of specie pay
ments, he says;
Let Congress, for instance, pass a law
imposing duties on silks, yelvets, jewelry,
wines, &C., limited in its operations to two
years; that would virtually prohibit during
that period their importation, and resump-
ton follows without an effort. The home
obstacles to resumption are largely artificial,
produced by the few who profit at the eX-
pense ofthe many. Usurcrs and spectators
are interested in keeping up the rate OF
usance" on gold"
He aims blow at the fashionable folly OF
the day, as displayed in costly raimcnt, aver
ring that:
There are 10000 New York ladies whose
CoStuiits, WITCH Ill llll uICSs, Cost III lt;tSt
81 900 each. Fifteen years ago the same
number of fashionable ladies would have APP
peared adorned quite as attractively at an
average expense of $3.50. Ten thousand chill

from 500 to $3.50 each, while the children
of wealthy citizens, 10 years ago, were SIM
ply but appropriately attircd at an expense of
$50 or $25. And 1t is painful to reflect that
i'll consequence OF this lavish expenditure
upon class that never earned dollar, there
are other tens of thousands without employ
ment and suffering for fuel, food, and raiment.
And last, though not least, are the millions of
gold sunk by Americans who idle away both
their time and their money in Europe. Ire
land is not now the only country demoral,
lied by absenteeism. These great abuses and
follies reformed, nothing would be easier
than the resumption of specie payments.
| lie regards the reconstruction problem as
embarrassed by want of wisdom at Wash
ington and by cmbittered memories in the
South, and says that civilization bushes at
turers in South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana
&c. He does not believe the Kellogg Gov

MAINTAIN it,
The Civil Rights Bin he deems, in its gene.
raj scope and purpose, of questionable wis.
DOM" He regards all attempts at social
equality between the two races as impracti,
cable and impossible.
The letter abounds in advice by which his
party might have profitcd if it had been
received and acted upon sooner. 1t comes
too late, however and MIR. Weed and his
party will soon be compelled to take up the
mournful lament, at might have been"

EMIT PrNCH.-Pinchback the Louisiana
mulatto, has been allowed to slide ofr-per-
manently, we hope-from the ragged edge
of anxiety upon which he has been seated
for several weeks past. upon the smoother
plane of hope deferred. On Thursday of
last week in the L. S. Senate, Mr. Morton
offered resolution to scat Pnchback as
Senator from Louisiana, when TO his intense
surprise and di, gust the case of the woulG-be
Senator was quietly laid on the table, by a
vote of 80 yeas to e2 nays. 1t is true that
the resolution may be called up again, at the
extra session, but we hope the action taken
indicates that the voice of the American peo-
pie demonstrating against usurpation has at
last reached the Capitol, and would be heed
cd after all.
Pinchback's anxiety, it may be supposed,
was not so much to do his unapprecia,ive
State service rs TO pocket the allowance of
$4,000 which would fall to his lot if admit
ted upon his credentials of 1872.
The desire of Morton and his ultra faction
was TO commit the Senate, in an indirect way.
to the acknowledgement ofthe illegal Kellogg
government in Louisiana, and thereby give
Grant and Sheridan the color of law to inter.
fere in behalf Of the usurpcrs.

SUIT FOR MAKING A TURNPIKE.-A case
of some interest was tried in the Supreme
Court yesterday. An Irishman named John
Smith, contracted with Mr.. g. T. Halle, who
was an officer of the Dulaney's Valley and
Sweet Air turnpike company, to build that
road in 1866 Smith completed the work
and claimed $1,172. Subsequently the Turn
pike Company forfeited its charter, dissolved
and made deed of trust of the road and all
of IFS other property. Smith brought the
suit just tried against Halle, and the proof
showed Halle had acted on behalf of the
Company. Under instructions of Judge
Dobbin, the jury rendered verdict for the
defendant, but a number of the iurymen,
when the Court adjourned, were very strong
in their expressions of regret for the hard
ships of Mr.. Smiths case-American of 1871
