A DESPERATE effort is being made to
run down Fosters subcommittee re-
port on Louisiana affairs. 1t is charged
that Potter, the Democratic member OF
the committee, wrote the report, and
Foster and Phelps signed it; and that it
is tissue of talsehoods and misrepre-
sentations. The main Committee is ac-
lively engaged in an effort TO overwhelm
the sub-report. Fosters committee re-
port the following:
/. That the events of the 14th of Sep
tember, when the Kellogg government
was overthrown by revolution, had put
the Conservatives on their good behavior
during the election of November, and
they did conduct themselves with per-
feet propriety throughout.
2. That no intimidation OF negroes by
the Conservatives was proved. Rapides
Parish was investigated as a sample
parish of intimidation, and no case was
proved. "Not one colored man through
ont the entire parish was produced to
testify either to such threat or to the eX-
ecution of such purpose, whether before
or after the election" On the contrary,
intimidation by the military and by Re-
publican negroes was proved beyond all
question. Threats OF the military pro-
duced in some parishes "a stampede
among the whites"
3. That the election of November was
fair and free in which "clearly conser-
vative majority was elected to the lower
House of the Legislature, of which ma
jority the Conservatives are deprived by
unjust, illegal and arbitrary action OF
the returning board"
4. That the White League is confined
chiefly to New Orleans, and includes be-
tween $500 to $500 members, many of
whom are armed with private arms and
all Of whom engage in military drill; that
they comprise large number of the re-
spectacle citizens and property holders;
that their only object is to secure good
government. and in common with the
white citizens generally, "lhey have got
beyond any mere question of political
party"
What the report of the Sub Committee
is as to the facts of the 4th inst, when
Speaker Wiltz was squelched does not
yet appear.
III Foster let the Democrat write the re-
port and exercised no judgment OF his
own it will turn out bad for him. If the
report is not fair. it Is difficult TO UNDER
stand how one Democrat could have led
two Republicans by their noses. At all
events it is rich joke on the Republican
party.

Shopping ut Stewart's.
The N. Y. Mail says: The wife and
daughter of an emminent publisher of
this city, accompanied by young lady
friend went shopping yesterday. They
rode down Broadway in their stylish
turnout drawn by two high bred horses,
Clipped. Gin fh9 driver Wore a handsome
livery and a rich furred robe protected
his neither extremitIes from the cold.
They stopped atStewart,s and the party
alighted and entered. Soon after Mr..
Bergh approached and ordered the driv-
er to blanket his horses or take them
Immediately home. The coachman drove
through Ninth street, Fifth avenue and
Tenth street to Broadway again closely
followed by Mr.. Bergh and a policeman.
The carriage drew up once more in front

A crowd gathered and half dozen po-
licemen had assembled. Mr.. Bergh Or
dered them to pull the coachmen from
his box, but he stoutly resisted, and the.
guardians of the peace were slow to obey
Mr.. Bergh. By this time the crowd was
immense. TWO policemen mounted the
box and tried to take the reins from the
driver. but he stoutly and successfully
resisted, while voices from the crowd
shouted "Let him alonew and to the
driver "Don't you get downW There
was great hubbub, and two young men
who had been shouting were marched of
to the Station.house.
The young ladies now appeared on the
steps of Stewards, and Mr.. Bergh ap-
preached them, and after few mo-
ments' conversation they went to look
for their mother. Two policemen were
then directed to lead the horses to the
station-house, the coachman remaining
on his elevated perch. At the station
house he was committed to the cells, the
boisterous young men were discharged
with reprimand from MIR. Bergh; the
young ladies, who, accompanied BY sew
eral gentlemen, arrived there during
these proceedings, were lectured by Mr..
Bergh on the impropriety of allowing
horses to stand in the cold without Blank
cts, Ito which Miss - replied with
spirit that the coachman was walking

the weather in front of A. T.. Stewards
store, Broadway and Ninth street, yes
terday between 4and O'Clock P. M. Mr..
Bergh then testified.
The prisoner in his defense, testified
that only one of the horses had been
clipped, and that within the past two
months; that as O matter of prudence he
considered 1t better not to have blankets
on the horses, unless he was delayed q
long time; that he offered to go with Mr..
Bergh. if that gentleman would permit
him to communicate with his employer
or the ladies, and that it was only after
Mr.. Bergh called him scoundrel and re-
fused the reasonable request that he be-
came impatient and somewhat irritated.
MI. Bergh detained him three quarters
OF an hour, and did not offer to procure
any covering for the horses. In fact, it
was not necessary, as they were strong,
healthy animals and did not suffer from
the cold.
Mr.. Stiner, who was associated with
MIR. Parsons as counsel for the defense,
produced a paper Of yesterday to show
that at the hour mentioned the thermom-
eter marked "a degrees above zero,- when
Mr.. Bergh remarked, "rhat report is

temper, assiduity and care of the coach
man and his general good conduct. He:

crate in his treatment of horses, and

ment he never lost a horse. Mr.. Apple

quired to furnish bail in $1O0 each to an

FINANCIAL MATTERS,
The circulation and various funds Of
the Bank of England, December 10th,
were as follows, in whole numbers:

Or the securities, $40,000,000 were funds
deposited in the Bank of England by
other London Banks to secure their own
depositors. The bank rate of discount
on the 10th was per cent, though it has
since dropped to 5 per cent. This down.
ward tendency is due to the partial re-
sumption of specie payments by the
Bank Of Paris, by calling inNthe twenty
franc notes and putting $60,OCO,O 900 more
of gold into circulation.
The Bank of Paris had been for several
months gathering i'll gold, and the Bank
of England put up the rate in October
for the purpose of saving her coin and
bullion. Now that gold is going out of
the Paris bank the English concern
drops its rate, and it will doubtless 20 to
4 or 81 per cent. This is encouraging to
us since it will increase the demand for
our bonds and will secure stocks and fa-
cilitate the borrowing of money. Ger
many is also out of all danger of none
tary trouble, and we can look to that
quarter also for financial support.
The object of the Bank of Paris in this
partial resumption is to bring out the
gold tnat is noarded by individuals, and
thus greatly increase the quantity in cir
culation. When gold can be obtained on
bank notes there is no object in boarding
it.
In this cautious mode of resumption
we see the folly of those OF our financial
theorists who think we can resume at
any time and could have resumed long
ago. The paper of the Bank of Paris has
been less than u per cent. discount for
a year or two; and yet only partial
resumption is considered practicable.
When greenbacks come as near as that
to gold we can begin to think about re.
sumption.
We are already providing for the silver
resumption OF our postal currency. DR..
Leiderman, Director of the Mints, thinks
ludb ~ WILL Uc SuCCeSS. UTeeHDaCkS are
within 1.2 of silver, and he thinks that re-
sumption will be safe if the rate does not
go higher. He calls attention to the late
discoveries of the richest silver mines in
Nevada that were ever known, and
thinks the great increase of our
product of silver for years to
come will insure the safety OF postal
resumption. A stock of from ten to tif-
teen millions of silver must be provided
before resumption commences. The
mints of San Francisco and Carson can
supply. the Mississippi Valley, while
that of Philadelphia can silver the At
lantic States.
Dr.. Leiderman thinks that silver will
be considerably reduced in value be-
cause there is no special demand in Eu-
rope, and the product of our new bonan-
"a will be all clear gain to us.

The sivalry of flowers which is exhib.
tied at the Beecher trial is one of its
most curious features. AS there will he
a superabundance OF flowers of rhetoric
among the counsel, it may have been
thought only fair that their clients
should have the advantage OF a few nat.
ural floral offerings. The next thing in
the programme will probably be an ar
rangement OF them in reference to their
meaning, and we shall have character
assailed or defended in the language OF
flowers. AS the swords OF Harinodious
and Aristogeiton were wreathed in myr-
tie, these scandal blossoms may cover a
whole armory vi weapons. While, how.
ever, the flowers may absorb the me-
phitic air OF the courtroom, they can not
neutralize the moral malaria OF the trial,
and their ostentatious introduction by
the friends OF both parties is only an
other illustration Of their perverted
taste.-Boston Globe.
