WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-The sub.
committee who visited New Orleans
has made report, in which they con.
denim as arbitrary the action of the
Returning Board in rejecting tho re-
turns of the parish of Rapides, and
giving the Republicans of that parish
seats. They take Rapides parish as an
example, and there was in that parish
no intimidation whatever on election
day or before the election. Hardly a
single witness could specify an instance
where an employer had threatened to
discharge any voter. They refer to
other acts OF the Board, which they de-
clare illegal and unjust. No colorcd
man was produced who was threaten.
ed or assaulted because OF his political
opinion. The United States troops, on
the contrary, arrested numerous par
ties just before the election, and the
conservatives claim that thew intimi-
dated them by threatening them to
come and make arrests in certain sec.
tions. It appears that the negroes who
sought to vote with the Conservatives
were abused, and one in the interior
was shot.
The committee give an account OF
the unhappy condition Of the State,
and mention some reasons why the
colored men differed in their views,
and why many changed to the Conser.

Tho editor of the Shreveport News,
in anticipation of this action, declared
that the only remedy was to kill the
usurpers, and declared this was the
sentiment of the Conservatives of his
section. But few declarations of this
sort were brought to tho notice of the
committee, although il was admitted
that the white people of the State felt

IT is singular truth that those who
urged contraction Us the ready road to
individual prosperity and national
wealth, don't propose TO contract the
Government bonds whose volume is SO
enormous, instead Of the currency.
whose nmount is so limited. The
bonds arc open to all the objections that
are arraycd against the grccubaeks.
They arc equally irrcdccmablc. They
arc made out of "dirty rags" they are
not something that chinks::' and moro
than that, they pay no taxes, and the
interest they bear is constant drain
upon the resources Of the country. If
there is to 10 contraction, why not con-
tract the rich mans currency, that
bears interest, and initiate q little Of
the volume Of the poor mans money
that don't tax every other kind of
property for its support? Why not !?

A Good RctOrt.

Senator Sargent, specially called tc
uphold the Administration on the Pa.
ciiic coast, is doing his duty to the ut.
most: lie holds alOlt, in most approved
style, the "Lloody Shirt" and exhaust!
his brains trying to get up \ plausible
story to relate with intent to deceive
the people. Recently he made re-
markaGIc speech, and the Administers
ton journals have been quoting it tire.
mcndously as unanswcrablc. The fol-
lowing is an extract which these same
journals glort over with emulation:
"Ilovc you thought, fellow.citi.
zcns," said he, "that this reduction Of
the National debt has been Sl20 n
minute since you have sat here and l
commenced talking! Taking the av.
cragc of the whole time, the reduction
Of tue debt has gone GU at that rate.
Why, take your watch and look at it.
See the second hand as it flies; at each
tick Of the second hand two dollars
during tho whole time since Grants in :
auguru,ion, by day and by night, upon
week day and upon Suuday-two dol
lars per second in gold, has gone of
the National debt"
1t eau readily be imagined how
many weary hours it took to make that
calculation, and what n world OF head
ache was cntuilcd by it upon the labor.

ted, word by word. the sentences which
compose the paragraph, he felt amply
repaid for all his trouble in the thought
that he had made "a hit. palpablc
hit," that was bound to tell, and win
for him undyiug rcnown.
1t is u hard thing, though, to kick
against the pricls, and very hard
thing to make hcadTay against the
truth. For instance, the following re-
tort from the Chicago Times, which
was probably gotten up Oh tho spur OF
the moment, completely takes tho wind
out VI the very loyal Senator's slils,
and ruthlcssly destroys in moment,
the labor Of days, perhaps weeks:
"lIavc you ever thought, fellow-cit-
izcns, that you are being taxed at the
rate Of s., O93 minute? Taking the
average OF the whole time and compnr-
ing it with the National and local tax
alton, the lcvying Of taxes is going on
at that rate. Sec the secondhand asst
flies; Mt each tick Of that second.hnn
since the beginning of the year 1875,
by day and by night, Sundays and
week days, $5l so per sccoud has
gone out Of the peoples pockets. And
while that $3l oO was being taken out
of the peoples pockets, only S! per

EXPANSION VS.. CONTRACTION.
The Case Plainly Stated.

TIE Cincinnati! Enquirer thus con-
cludcs somewhat lengthy but telling
article upon the financial question:
Look at Ohio. Sec the stagnatiou
Of business. Cast an eye up the Ohio
River and sec the destruction of the
iron industry. The laboring people
arc threatened, actually threatened,
with bcggnry and starvation. What
is the election Of this or tina. man to
Office in comparison with such state
of things? 1t is concern Of almost
life and death to tens Of Thousands
whether they shall have tho means az
fordcd them Of earning their daily
bread. The contraction Of the currcn-
cy to meet the views Of tho moncycd
mouopolists has proceeded to suck an
extent that We now hear from every
part of the Union the piercing cry Of
labor and business as the monster in
Its horrid folds brushes their bones
preparatory to his making his meal up
on them. For the last ten years the
policy of the Government has been to
parcel out all the wealth of the country
among the gold gamblers, the usurcrs,
the bondhOldcrs and the National
bankers. While the men in the man.
ufac,uring districts arc in state Of
pcnury these privileged classes, with
paid organs and defOndcrs,a arc making
great profits, declaring large dividends,
and arc rolling in wealth and luxury.
The contrast is frightful 1t would be
a good idea for the political meetings
this year to be held in the unoccuplcd
and deserted mills and factories or in
their yards and Enclosures. There is
the place where the people can be talk
cd to with advantage. There is where
their wrongs can be appropriately
pointed out and the remedy suggested.
There is where their enemies and those
who would beggar them anl,thcir fami.

HARRISBURG, April 4.-Information received
here from confidential circles, and communicate
ed to Governor Hartianft, leads to the corclu-
sion that since the maintenance of the
law is enforced by tue positive action of
the State authorities, the strike will not last
thirty days from this time. The resources OF
the miners have, it is said, been greatly exag-
gerated, and they cannot subsist for months on

Railroad Company will not yield, and, if no, it is
but Il question OF time, and a very short time,
when work will be resumed OH the reduced ba-
sis.
Governor Hartranft has lad tho military or
ganizations of Schuyl ylkill and Luzerne counties
notified to be in readiness to move for active du-
ty at an hours notice in case there should be a
serious outbreak in the coal regions In case of
disorder fully one thousand men could be thrown
upon any part of either Schuylkill or
Luzerne as rapidly as soldiers
could be marched or transported. Care
full orders have been given, however, to prevent
any display of the military until they are actu-
ally wanted. Soldiers are forbidden to appear
on the streets in uniform or with arms in the
sections where disturbances are apprehended.
The Governor believes to-day that there will
now be no serious violence, as the leaders of the
will promptly suppress it as soon as it is at.
