THE CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS.

We were happy to learn. this morning
that the protracted consultation Of the Con
sentative members of the Legislature, which
took place last night, has resulted in the res
toration Of complete harmony and good feel
ing.
| The Wheeler terms of adjustment are, we
learn, repudiated and the members will main
tain bold and gallant front against every
measure which looks to a sacrifice of principle
or which does not meet with popular ap-
prevail.
This is contamination for which we are
devoutly and sincerely thankful, and it proves
conclusvely that the members Of the caucus
appreciate their obligations and duties as
Representatives; that in all they have done
they have been actuated by desire to relieve
the State and their impoverished and suffer-
ing constituents, and that however much
they may have differed as to the proper mode
of adjustment, there was an underlying desire
to do the thing which was right. That some
were mistaken in their views, we believe;
but that they have consented to forego their
opinions and to be guided by the wishes of
their constituents, is alike honorable to them
selves and gratifying to all good citizens.
1t was, however, what we had every right
to expect from gentlemen, who bore them
selves with such heroic fortitude upon the
ever memorable 4th of January day which
tried mems souls and brought Louisiana SO
proudly prominent before the world that she
cannot afford to stumble now.
When the voice Of the BULLETIN was raised
in opposition to the Wheeler propositions as
published, we may have been impelled by our
zeal for the cause this journal was established
to defend to speak with excessive, though par
donable heat, in opposition to what we con-
sidered fatal mistake about to be com
mited by our friends.
We did not dispute the honesty and patri-
otism of those with whom we happened to |
iifier, but we called upon their constituents
% express their views in such manner as
would lead their Representatives to pause and
consider well before taking any decisive action
n a matter of such great moment to all of US.
That our course was not injudicious or ill.,
lined is now virtually conceded by the very
entlemen whose intended policy we deemed
our duty to oppose, and it is matter Of
generalization to all that common basis of
ction has at length been reached, and that
erfect unanimity of sentiment again prevails
4 the councils of our representatives in the
legislature.
As one Of them happily characterized the ,
it was only family quarrel in l.
diving no bitterness of feeling and lead I
g to 70 permanent arrangement between a
EN- who all have the same objects in |
ew, and who only happened to differ +
to the best mode of accomplishing $
at most desirable and so long wished for f
alienation, if not the d
Ire, of the almost intolerable sutferings by
hich Louisiana has been brought to the lowest
'pth OF misery a civilized community was
er compelled to endure. Let by-gones be il
T-gones. then. and let US make another q
llted effort to achieve what little good it is !,
IL IN our power to strive for with some pros Il
ct OF success. "

SHERIDAN'S PEACE.

Senator Thurman, in his great speech de-
livered in the United States Senate on the
9th Of January last, said, after reviewing the
action of Durell, Ludeling & Co.:
some BY ONE THEY PASS AWAY; BUT THE
UsURPATIoN Is MAINTAINED AND THE PEOPLE OF
LOUISIANA WHO SMART UNDER IT. WHO WOULD
NOT BE AMERICAN CITIZENS IF THEY DID NOT
SMART UNDER 1T, ARE DENOUNCED AS BANDrrrI
BY A LIEUTENANT GENERAL OF THE UNITED
STATES, WHO PROPOSES TO RESTORE PEACE IN
QUITE AS SUMMARY A WAY AS ORDER WAS EVER
RESTORED AT WARSAW"

in either case have been, 'syou tried to leave
the Union; you failed and could not Withstand
our coercive force, and therefore you are still
in the Union as before"
| Then the average American, OF course
patriot would say: "Treat the Southern
States no longer as conquered provinces, but
as sovereign States. Leave them to govern
themselves entirely. NEEDLE no more with
their internal affairs. Let them have their
own governors, judges and legislators Keep
the Federal police (the army out Of their af-
fairs altogether. Let them regulate suffrage
within their borders as we regulate it in ours
Let them alone. Their governments are re-
publican, and we can lawfully have nothing
to do with them"
The Tribune states the issue clearly as to
Louisiana. She must govern herself or she
must be governed from Washington. The
Tribune states the fact accurately in saying
that nothing but standing army can keep
peace under the Kellogg regime" We agree
too, with the Tribune that the animosities Of
the war are but poor support for the Radical
party. We do not believe this Congress will
revise the Presidents policy, bat we know
that those Southern States prosper most where
that policy has been least felt. The danger
50 forcibly presented has ceased in Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and
Texas. 1t would cease in twenty-four hours
in Louisiana if the President would merely |
cease to NEEDLE in our affairs.
We do not concur with the Tribume's con-
,lusion that the Republican party is ruined.
While true Republicanism may again claim
share Of public favor, it is the Grant party that
$ ruined, crippled, stranded and annihilated.

THE STREETS YESTERDAY,

To visitor who has witnessed the displays
made heretofore on the returns of this day,
the streets present almost a deserted appear
ance in comparison with the past. Instead Of
troops Of maskers hurrying along to secure
positions in the triumphal procession of the
good monarch Rex, four or five six year old
boys in old dominoes, the soiled colors of
which were typical of the times now upon US,
were about all that could be seen.
1t was evident to the most casual observer
that the hearts of the people of this great
city were not upon the mirth and pleasure
with which this day has been always asso-
ciated. The crushing weight of despotism,
the enervating effect of hot political strife,
have brought about this result, and the Car
nival was more day of anxiety than of
frolic and gayety.
Instinctiyely, however, many assembled on
the boulevard Canal. and by noon that street
was quite crowded. but the absence of any
number of masks made the pic
ture rather incongruous. The closing of the
banks and many places of business tended to
give the city somewhat of holiday appear
ance, but beyond this there was nothing
notable.

THE RESULT OF THE CAUCUS LAST
NIGHT,

There has been considerable speculation
this morning as to the result of the Conser-
vative Caucus last night, and rumor has it
that after the rejection Of the Wheeler terms
of adjustment, the members agreed upon a
plan which has been submitted for the con-
sideration of the committee.
Just what the plan is is not certainly
known, but from limitations thrown out it
would appear that it is a vast improvement
upon the first and does not involve the sacri-
flee of any vital principle We sincerely trust
that this may be true, as no one is more
anxious to see an honorable adjustment than
ourselves

The Bogus Reporter,

In its notes on the Tilton-Beecher trial, the
New York Times presents this interesting
character:
The bogus reporter is abhorred by every
one. He is middle-aged and gray-haired
His complexion is bad, and he presents the
mildewy appearance of "a man taken out of
closet for the first time in twenty years. To
the lawyers he says he is a reporter to the
reporters he says he is lawyer, He pretends
to take notes, and he mysteriously scrawls IL
lusive characters on scraps of paper, in the
fond belief that somebody may imagine he is
writing shorthand. He appears in different
phases. In some instances he is a CORE
spondent of the Wamsutta Clarion or the New
berry 1ntelligencer. Whatever he may be the
only definite knowledge possessed regarding
him is that he is a fraud of the first water.
Daily elected by the court officers, he sneaks
IN by some means or other, and his conduct
can only be accounted for Oh the superstition
that he is a harmless lunatic.

been success; they remained States at the
end Of the war; in which the Confederacy was
proven failure; and they should have been
considered, treated and recognized as States
after Lees surrender. They had never ceased
to be States. There was the great blunder
There was the great error of men blinded by
victory and inebriated by the results of sue
cess. Their Congress had a right to propose,
and their States right to accept amendments
to the Constitution. Their States then had.
as they had held and enjoyed from beginning.
the right to fix rules of suffrage.
They should have left the same RIGHT to the
conquered States. Emancipation was de-
creed and fixed forever and the freed citizens
should have been left, along with their white
fellow-citizens, to adjust their political and
representative relations as time and expert |
ence might show to be just and wise. The |
initial and cardinal error was the assumption |
of the right to reconstruct, and the exercise |
of this assumed right has been the fruitful |
source of all the troubles of the South since |
the war
The result Of the war, rightly weighed and |
construed, was that the States
which had attempted to withdraw from the
Union had not withdrawn. If the attempt had
been made in one State By five hundred thou
sand, instead Of being made in ten States by
i've millions, the logical and legal conclusion
must have been the same. The verdict must
