Results Of Adjustment.

For the proper contamination of the ad-
justment, it is necessary that it's principles
should be thoroughly carried out in the
organization Of the House of Representa-
tives. 1t would be an absurdity for men,
bers who have been avowed supporters of
adjustment to abandon their position to aid
those who have persistently opposed it.
For example, if the House chooses to elect
q Speaker for the extra session, it would not
be consistent for Republican who has ad-
vocated adjustment to vote for Democrat
who has always opposed it. Such vote
would be an act of treason both to Repub-
licanism and adjustment.
1t il reasonable to presume that Con.
servative Democrats and Republicans who
have desired adjustment would vote to-
gether and mutually cooperate to perfect
its ultimate object in the passage of the
reform measures advocated by the Repub-
lican party. On this supposi ton it would
be especially inconsistent for either Of these
parties to support pronounced Bourbon
Democrat and anti adjuster.
Whatever the object of acquiescence in
adjustment may be. it can only be COM
mended if it results in good to the State,
and to obtain the greatest good has always
been fundamental principle of the Repub-
lican party. When one of Democratic
proclivit'es has only accepted the result
because inevitable, his motives to defeat its
accomplishment still remain. 1t is plain,
then. that he should not be able to draw .
line between prominent comprOmsors or
adiustors and republicans.
The matter is, however, entirely within
the control of Republicans. They have
accepted the conditions and yielded what
was asked in the original terme, and this
reference is only to call attention to pos
sible difference, not to indicate that i. il
reality.

LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB.
FOurih Day.

The continued fine weather brought out
Witnessed yesterdays sport, and the excit-
ing struggle in the last race sent every one
home in good humor. The track was slow,
although dry and springy But it appeared
that the harrow had been used too freely
and the roller spared too much. In refer
ence to the close contest that marked the
third race, the following chronicle is sub
mitted a. exhibiting the fastest trotting,
pacing and running time on recond: At one
mile pacing, Billy Boyce made 2:l4%. At
one mile trotting Dexter has covered the
$3.50 feet in 2:l7 Y, but this time has since
been beaten. Flora Temple has trotted
her two miles in 4:59A, and Dutehman has
scored 7:32A against three miles.
1t is on record that sixteen mile-stones
have been passed in fifty minutes and three
quarters of . second. Trustee made her
twenty miles in fifty nine minutes and
thirty tive and a half seconds. CoD4ueror
made the even hundred miles in eight
hours fifty minutes and fifty two SEQ
opds. Robin and Master Burke, running
in couple, dashed past the last one hundred
in ten hours seventeen minutes and twenty
two seconds. Herzog is credited With the
fastest time at one mile on official record.
Time, l:43l. 1t is said that Harry Petit
made his mile in Dallas county, Alabama,
in l:42h.
Orleans people and turf folks generally
knew that the fastest time at four miles,
previous to 1874, was msde by Lexington
in 7:l9%. Brown Dick ran three miles on
tho Metairie Course in 5:28.
These remarks of bygone events are In
troduced not to lead to the conclusion that
the turf has declined. but to show that the
breed Of horses has not improved. The
importation of blo0ded stock has, in . mea-
sure, ceased, and the training has become
too severe. Distances have been deoreased.

THE STATE HOUSE.


The Governor, accompanied by Judge
Wheeler, rode to the State House ~ early
as ten o'clock yesterdsy morning. After
arriving there the Governor sent his car
riage for Speaker Hahn, and that gentle
man, accompanied by friend, arrived at
the Governor's office about eleven o'clock.
Quite q number of prominent gentlemen
of the Legislature shortly lmade their ap-
pesrance, and from remarks that were
dropped it was evident that the Democrats
had been eaucusing - to what course
should be taken in regard to the Speaker
ship OF the House and the reorganization
Of that body when the adjustment can be
considered - accomplished. '..5..
Before the hour Of twelve had arrived q
large number Of, both Republicans and
Democrats had visited the private Office Of
the Governor, where it nov became apparent
Judge Wheeler was .endeavoring to pour
more oil upon the troubled waters, with o
view of adj ustipg the clsinns Of the varisus
factions that were endeavoring to carry out
their own peculiar views in regard to the
Speakership and the patronage that might
be thought legitimate spoils in the political
game which is being played.
Senator Crosier was among those in con-
sultation with Governor Kellogg in the
Executive Department. 1t was understood
that he had been rendered the position Of
harbormaster if he would resign his posi-
ti0n as Senator. This offer was made, it
is said, in the interest of the adjustments
How far the consultations had in the
Governors private Office settled the con-
ticting claims for the Speakership has not
yet transpired, from the fact that motion
made, in the House yesterday to elect q
Speaker was ruled out of order; but as
the election of new Speaker may
be supposed to be matter that will nat
.urally grow out of tho adoption of the
a~ ard of the committee appointed to
arrange the adjustment of Louislanas
political troubles, and the award was yes
terday adopted by the House, and members
unseated and others seated as therein pro-
vided for, it would look as if the copsulta
ton had yesterday in the Governors private
office might have settled the question Of
Speakership also. 1t was said with good
deal OF confidence by persons who professed
to have an inside view of things, that
Estilette was the coming man for the posi-
tion. On the other hand the friends Of Mr..
Wiltz contended that his motion to adjourn,
v Which was carried in the face Of motion to
60 into an election, indicated that he would he
the Speaker, while the friends of Speaker
Hahn were certain that the divisions Gre
ated by the friends Of Estilette and Wiltz
insured the continuance of Hahn as
Speaker. One of the effects Of the adoption
of the adjustment has been the passage of
resolution through the House recognizing
Governor ksllogg as the legal Governor Of
Louisiana. Nothing was done in the Senate
respecting adjustment, the subjeet not yet
having been brought before that body.
Senator Crozier occupied his seat through.
out yesterday.
