POLITICAL ON DIT.
THE PROPOSED ADJUSTMENT.

/ THE PROPOSED ADJUSTMENT
Inc proposition by the Democratic mem
bers OF the General Assembly to submit tn
returns of the last election to the Congress
SIGNAL Committee and to abide by the de
cision OF that committee, does not meet will
the approval Of Kelloggs Crowd as BODY.
| There are some members, about six O,
eight, whose right to seats in the Legislator,
IS not questioned, that would be willing t.
abide by the conclusions of the COMMITTEES
but the mass of the mob consider the matte,
SIMPLY as joke-a rather weak one-th.
funny part being the serious nature of the
proposition, which leads them to infer thai
the Democrats actually believed that Their.
was probability that they (the Crowd) wouli
become parties to it.
They contend that they are masters of the
situation, and that they are justified in be.
lieving that they can maintain their position
and that nothing could be gained by the
party-the people and the State are not con.
sidered their acquiescence to the pro-
posed plan of adjustment of the existing
difficulties.
The leaders of the Crowd, of course, want
no investigation of the election returns.
They do not care of submitting anything but
tales of blood, etc.
They profess to think that the committee
is all right but they have not that faith in
1t to believe the gentlemen composing it have
that partisan spirit which actuates themselves.
and the possession of which they consider
absolutely necessary to see things right.
They are afraid that honor and regard for
reputation, something which they respect as
a weakness which they cannot understand,
might have more effect than party necessity
and party demands, and the consequences are
feared, and the boys are pronounced good
little boys, and by patting of shoulders they
are encouraged to stick where they are
BASE INGRAT1TUDE.
Kellogg has removed Honest John Lynch
from his very lucrative position of Slaughter
House Inspector, and appointed John Harris
in his place.
When the services Honest John performed
for Kellogg as q member of the Returning
Board of 1872 are considered, his action in re-
moving him appears decidedly ungrateful |
It is just what might have been expected of
Kellogg, however.
NEW MOVE. |
We learn that orders have gone forth re-
moving the army officers in the different |
parishes, and replacing them by details from
hose occupying posts in the city, in order
hat they may give testimony before the com.
nlttee. This is as we expected.
AFTER OFFICE.
The general public have no idea of the
aumber OF persons in this great city of ours
Who think themselves competent to fill any
official position within the gift of the people
u the powers that be, and who cannot be
happy, or won't be happy, unless they are
living at the expense of the public at large.
There is certain class Of boys even big
boys and little boys, white boys and black
boys, who seem to think that they have an
Inherent right to official patronage, and they
ave no hesitancy in maintaining this suppo-
ititious right and advocatingit on every pos
IDLE occasion. Kellogg's crowd is besieged
nth them, all wanting positions as pages or
Messengers, and though most of the appoint
aents have been made, the unsuccessful aspi-
auts are none the less clamorous for some {
hing and anything, and they are at the same
lme not at all mild in their condemnation of '
be action of the two wings in thus far {
hoosing country boys as recipients of favors, {
Kellogg is assailed at all hours by seekers {
more mature years, and it is related that i
o is the lucky pOssessor of q conscience that s
expansive that he finds no difficulty whatever
4 promising each and every applicant what
yer they may desire, and it is further related h
nat these applicants accept the promises for !
list what they are worth. They are frequently s
riyn to desperate straits, as is evinced bv :
,e following little incident:
VIM. Weeks, late Assistant Secretary of :
tate, was killed at 3 o'clock on Sunday morn r
lg, and at 8 the mob, utterly ignoring the c
ct that it was the Sabbath day, invaded Kel- I
'ggs residence, interfered with his religious I
and each and every one of them b
i'd before him their peculiar fitness for the
lace made vacant by the demise of Weeks, l.
; the place which they fondly hoped would d
3 made by the Incarceration of Paris. It is | 4
ot known how Kellogg got rid of them, but d
is supposed that he did it in the same old n
yle.
RESIGNED =
P. Jones Yorke, member of Kellopp's :,
ovid, from Carroll, is entirely too sensitive. q
Q will never become leader among the q
'ys unless he learns to appreciate and ac-
pit their playfClness without murmuring, Ia
alone "fyipg off the handle" P. Jones Y
orke got very indignant yesterday simply n
'cause several of his fellow members init :,
ated that he was not entitled to his seat and ;,
at it was mainly owing to the fact that he v
IS one of the men who decided on his right :,
it that the proposition to confirm him in it +,
IS made.
1t was nothing to get angry about. Every Il
an OF the wing would have done the same 3,
ing under the same circumstances, and he Il
ted very hastily, as he will no doubt peni- b
ntly confess when he rendered his resigna- r
IN. There is no doubt that when he put it !,
he meant business, but it is probable that 10
is not near half SO anxious for its accept fl
ICE as he was then. r.
If that resignation has got into Kellogg's h
nds, Yorke will find there ia very little fun II
sulting from actions such as his, not that h,
sllogg will be harsh and throw the gentle 7.
IN out, not at all, but he will hold tn m
cument until the time comes to use the y,
ntleman, and if he objects to being used
ere will be "new election" in Carroll II
IRISH. -
It is possible, however, that Yorke will be =.
