WHY Is SHERIDAN HERE.

Gen. Sheridan says he is here On no polite.
political situation, consequently can not say
what disposition he will make of his forces.
We have been assured by him that he does
not even know what is the political outlook.
Then why is he here? Listen to the mar
velous explanation of the presence of this
mighty warrior in our midst lie las come
here ito soue tie problem of how to get those IL
terlopers ont from among the Black Hills
He distinctly said Black Hills, and not
State House. When this answer was given,
our reporter left the General and walked back
| to tho office, wondering how it was he didn't
guess the object Of the Generals visit before.
Tho location of New Orleans relative to the
Black Hills, the universal quiet and serenity
Of everything here, the advantage of military
position, and the hordes of seekers after
wealth who are daily leaving our midst for
those famous Black Hills all conspire to rem
der our city the most appropriate point for
Sheridan to solve the problem of the invasion
Of the Black Hills bonanza.
was needed last January to clear the State
House of legal members in order to make
room for the Crowd, he just happened be to
here purely by accident. He had not come
here with an object, bu. had merely stopped
over on his way to Cuba, where he was jour
neying with party of ladies on pleasure
excursion. This doughty chief is never at
loss to plain his actions in a way not con-
fined within the limits Of truth or probability.
He can shave along right close to them with
ont coming in the slightest contact with
them.
The whole truth Of the matter is, that his
Cuban pleasure excursion was to stop at New
Orleans, and his solving Of the Black Hills
problem is to be accomplished in the same
manner as he had his frolic last January. He
has come to be present at the extra session Of |
the Legislature, and to Gear the State-House |
Of the opponents Of the Presidential desire |
for peace by way Of compromise. "Only this
and nothing more

COMBINATIONS WITH ENEMIES ARE
DANGEROUS.

As q result Of the djustment, the Conserv-
alive majority of the reconstructed House is
clearly and indisputably entitled to the organ
iza.ion. The Speaker Of the Conservative
House ought, in reason and equity, to be q
Conservative in the full meaning of the term
as now understood. He ought to be q
thorough, unyielding. firm and bold opponent
He ought to be the very man whom Grant,
Sheridan and Kellogg most dislike and most
dread. He ought to be fit to stand as the
champion of the cause of the people against
usurpers, intruders and public defaulters and
swindlers He ought to be the type and the
exponent of the great cause in which the true
ard honest men of the State are working.
There is reason to fear that influences
which are neither Conservative, Democratic
nor friendly to the State. are hard at work to
defea. the plain aud obvious wish and duty
Of the majority of the caucus. A vigorous
combination has been formed to put into the
Speakers chair a member against whom Gov.
Kellogg has no objections and one whose
name, as we have reason to believe, has been
suggested, indirectly perhaps. by him. The
Speaker may WELD but little power in ordi-
nary times. but emergencies may occur which |
will make the position extremely important
He is the third officer in the government |
of the State, nor even third in importance.
No bad bill can get the signature of saga
cious and honest Speaker. No spurious
claim can get his sanction when acting as a
member of the Funding Board. Honorable
and honest functonaries do not fear good
aid able man in the Speakers chair. Those
who are not of this character will naturally
combine and intrigue against the choice OF
such Speaker.
We hope that tho members Of the caucus
who ara pushing the nomination of Speaker
who will be acceptable to conspicuous Radi-
calls high in Office, will take heed Of the dan
gerous and slippery ground on which they
tread. Let them beware of the wiles OF
enemies who seek to divide and embroil
our representatives,. Let them strive o
maintain our great cause pure from coali-
tions with corrupt elements. There is no
safety in striking hands with any Of the fac.
tons of bitterly hostile party. There is
y thing but humiliation, chagrin and disap-
pointm-nt in store for the friends Of Louisi-
ann. if her chosen agents and representatives :
yield to the Establishments or fall into the
SHARES of the States worst enemies. Let
those who stand take heed lest they fall.

A colored gallant in Asbury, Warren coun-
ty, n. j., who made advances 10 several
white women, probably under some mistaken
notion of the Civil Rights bill. has been
treated to what Tom Payne called "a bal

We clip the above from the N. Y. Tribune,
Of the 7th, and have been expecting to follow
it with a supplementary paragraph announc-
ing the arrest. by the United States authori-
ties, of the parties who have SO hagrantly vio-
lated the sixth section Of the Enforcement

bill. but no steps appear to have been taken
