ton upon the impregnable foundation OF the
constitution" and no doubt will wonder
how so well-balanced a man could ever have
allowed himself to wander from that solid
basis.
Mr.. c. L. Walker of the third ward OF
Orleans, offered tho following resolution:
Fesolred, That after having prepared a
suitable protest TO our constituents, such
members of the House of Representatives
as shall not be prevented by superior and
arbitrary force do proceed in body to the
hail of the House and resume, free and un-
tramrneleG, the seats to which they were
elected.
MIR. Stafford moved to adjourn, but at the
request of Mr.. Walker he withdrew the
motion in orde. to allow action on the reso-
luton.
Mr.. Walker then said:
In introducing this resolution. Mr..
Speaker, you will remember that it is in ac-
cordance with the policy expressed by my
self as early as December last, more than
two months since, and l ask for it the care
tui consideration of both the friends and
opponents of the compromise measures.
do not offer it az means of overthrow
ing or indirectly or directly thwarting the
operation of the Wheeler propositions, but
l suggest to the majority that it would be
rather for them the means Of facilitating
the operation of their measure.
1t is now three days since the adoption
OF the compromise and as far as regards
the development of events, we have made
no progress, and are still in a condition Of
uncertainty; it can not be argued that it
will conflict with the compromise, as it can
have no effect upon it than to place the
members in more substantial status to-
ward the committee Of arbitration.
trust that from my opponents, the com
promise members, it will meet with the
same consideration which we Of the mnorl-
ty have accorded to them in the discussion
0: their measure.
The resolution was laid on the table SUD-
ject to CALL
The caucus then adjourned.

st. Patrick's Hall.

Hon. William Murrell, of Madison, has
started on the right track. Yesterday
morning he gave notice in the House of
Representatives of bill to repeal act No.
- of 1874. This act was passed for the
purpose Of exempting from taxation the
property on the corner Of Camp and
Lafayette streets. No reason is assigned in
the law tor its passage nor any for the
exemption from liability for previous years.
The property is not owned by any church
or charitable corporation, nor is it used for
educational purposes. 1t is simply the
property OF private corporation, competing
with others for profitable lessees.
The Legislature is permitted by the con-
stitution to exempt from taxation property
actually used for church, school or chari-
table purposes, but no power is given to
exempt building only used for a hall,
stores and Offices

A Reason for Allowing Coso-ed Men 70
Live,

! The Shreveport Times gives an account
of the shooting OF colored man BY white
| gentlemen of the shotgun party. It ap.
| pears that store had been robbed. and
| that Mr. Forbin, the proprietor, had offered
| a reward for the detection Of the thief. Il
| occurred to the three shooting gentlemen
| that they could secure the reward by
! proper manipulation, and they arrested a
colored Elan as an experiment and ma;
| treated him AS an inducement for him to
confess to the crime, with the view of
pocketng the reward. They were not Off
GERS of the law, and made the arrest with
| out warrant. The obstinate negro, being
guiltless OF theft, naturally objected to con-
tossing, and when he would not the
white gentlemen tied him securely and left
him in charge of the storekeeper while they
went for a more productive victim. The
selfconstituted guard ians of the peace next
went TO the house of one Henry Turner.
Turner's door was closed, but the gentle.
men ''tired several shots into the house."
the Times says. They also found that
Turner was not good man to confess.
Instead OF confessing he answered the call
of the gentlemen with musket. and
wounded one of them in the arm. The
gentlemen then returned to Forbin's store
and threatened to shoot the negro left tied
there. Mr. Forbin asked them not to shoot,
and the gentlemen then threatened to shoot
Forbin. That settled it. Forbin left the
store and the white gentlemen took the
negro out aud shot him, in the true chiyaI-
rous style OF the country.
The Shreveport Times actually condemns
the action of the white gentlemen and
trusts that the civil authorities will en-
deavor to arrest and bring the assassins to
justice, and gives an unusual reason for this
strange trust and belief. 1t says:
Such acts of lawless men, aside from the
question of humanity and violation of the
law, are calculated to do our people incalcu-
liable harm, for all such cases are set down
by Radical falsitiers and by such unscrupu-
lOus partisans as Merrill to the score of
politics.
There We see policy and justice enough TO
satisfy the most ex acting. 1t is one of the
most scathing rebukes ever administered to
murderers in Shreveport. Aside from the
question of violating the law. and aside
from the manifest inhumanity Of shooting
an innocent man, is held up the fear that
the Radicals may misconstrue their little
pleasantries, and that such fellows as Mer-
rill and Sheridan may venture to assert that
human life is held too cheaply in Shreve-

Every one has felt how superior in force
is the language of the street to that of the
academy. Ought not the scholar to be able
to convey his meaning in terms as sharp
and strong as the porter or truckman use /!
The language of the men of the street is
strong, nor can you mend it by what you
call parliamentary. You say, IF he could
only express himself" But LIE does already
better than any one can do it for him. 4
man who knows himself about the matter
in hand, can always get the ear of an au-
dience to the exclusion of everybody else.
The power of their speech is that it is per-
tectly understood by all. Aud 1 believe it
to be true that when an orator at the bar or
in the Senate rises in his thought he
descends in his language. That is, that
when he rises to any height of thoug hit or
of passion. he comes down to a level with
the ear of all his audience 1t is the oratory

almost every absurdity; but Of knowl-

be content with, we have absolutely
none. To attain some such knowledge

be this large area of our own earth so
utterly unknown. The examination of

our remote ancestry, now distinguish US
from the brutes. We want to traverse
