WASHINGTON, March 81, 1875.
] wonder if you know, dear friends Of Louis
lana, to whose voting on are indebted for the
Endorsement of Kellogg, which this House of
Representatives in Congress assembled has
seen fit TO put upon its record? In order to
suspend the rules 50 that a majority might
pass the resolutions Of the louisiana Commit
tee separately, there must be two-thirds
vote. The number necessary was one hun
dred and forty-tHo. Only one hundred and
Eorty-one Republicans were found, SO one Dem
ocrat, and only one, made the requisite
Juorum. That manfred it with aolazement
was alexander Il. Stcptens! Had it been
come inferior politician, less tn roughly
informed upon Southern affairs; some indi-
vidual from an oat-of-the-way district in the
North, less surprise would have been felt, but
that Alexander Stephens, the Southern states
3nan and patriot should at this late hour OF
his wonderful life, have so antagonized Gil his
past record, seemed beyond belief Stephens
he aristocrat, the honorable n, al, the fearless
defender of Southern rights, deliberately
,o.ing so that "person," las Dickens would
say like William Pitt Kellogg, might be in
dorsed by the blind fanatics Of the Republi-
an party, seems beyond belief.
What will you say about ii, l wonder?
THIS party that has been powerful 80 long
lies hard. It recognizes the issues which
gave it life; the questions whose conflicting
demands kept it in existence. One after the
other, those issues have been met and settled
one after the ether those important ploble ms
have been placing themselves in clearer light,
showing their own solution possible by the
Iuiet influence Of time, or tie compulsion OF
irresistible circumstances. Left alone, without
The partisan presence and inhammatory die
sation of political schemers, you would have,
IRE this, arranged your own aif,irs; and now
chat the country recognizes this fact and de-
mands that you shall be allowed that privi-
-ese, this greedy party clamors for further
power.
With your matters corclusivcly adjusted
he old differences would be Of but trifiing
Importance. It has been provoking to see
-he reckless waste of time during the present
session. So many imperatively needed re
forms have been utterly neglected; SO many
.ust claims completely ignored that our
statesmen might wraDgle and show their pow
Frs of defamation in tie exposure CT a culp-
lble ignorance that VAS pitifUl and disgrace
ul. During the recent debate upon the
Force bill Mr.. Willard, of Michigan, gentle
alan and q scholar, read carefully prepared, |
eloquent speech. He is Republican, but
lot q blind partisan and the marked atten
ion he received during the whole OF his ora
ion showed the weight of his influence. The
next day his colleague Mr.. Burrows, deem
ug it an opportunity to distinguish himself,
PRESENTED his own intensely radical views
Now, Mr.. Burrows is p very nice looking
physically, for he has a broad, full
hest pair of superb shoulders, and free
nd easy fashion of swinging along in his
walk, which would seem to indicate extreme
of character. Alas his face
ontradicts all this. The forehead is good, the
yes are pleasant but the insignificant nose and
he queerly set, uncertain mouth, would utterly
opel you if tho merciful mask of heavy beard
nd moustache didn't partly disguise these
atures. Mr.. Burrows comes from Kalama-
%, an exceedingly pretty little city in South
IN Michigan. Elected for one term, wherein
Ie only signalized himself by doing some
Kings obnoxious to his constituency, they
uietly placed him On the retiring list last
I'll. Feeling that this was his last chance,
Lr Burrows has made two intensely rabid
peeches. One was delivered during the dis
ussion Of the Civil Rights bill. and the other
ccurred during the equally exciting debate
pom the Force bill. II
Now, Mr.. Burrows has voice which rings .
Ike clarion. 1t is by far the finest voice in
le House. Likewise his musical ear is suffi 9
ently accurate to "decline and fall" as ad- !
,irably as the Roman Empire did in the
ands of Mr. Wigg. He attracts and holds 7
le attention of the House, bringing out in !
entorian tones such splendid rhetoric as J
lis: "Sir! if the story of outrage and muir
er in the South were fully told, it would Z
,rnish one of the blooaiest pages in The peace 7
4 annals Of history!' Again, urging the
lual rights of colored men, he pathetically c
lclaimed: "And shall they be denied these n
rivleges because they hare once been black
MI Burrows has now gone TO New Hamp-
lire, to speak in various places on the po-
teal situation, and il is from such logically IL
arspicuous orations that Northern people "
