New YORK, May l0.-Hon. William A.
Wheeler, of the Louisiana Congressional
Committee, has aC dressed letter to the
Times, and, in answer to the question, rs
the Louisiana adjustment a success or a
failure?" writes: II firmly believe that
Louisiana has at last caught inspiration
from the new order of things, and that, ,ex-
hausted as she is with tumult and violence,
yet with just government and the edu-
cation Of her people, the last just now her
greatest need, she, with steady but slow
pace, will emerge from what seemed to be
her utterly helpless condition" In regard
to the reseating of the four Democrats in
the house of representatives, Mr.. Wheel
er says: mo one can be found in Louisi-
ana to assert that at the time these four
Democrats were unseated there was quo
rum OF the house present, so these four
Democrats had never been legally deprived
of their seats Being legally entitled to
their seats, and having done nothing tc
forfeit them, their reinstatement was ar
act of simple justice, which all fully under
standing the fact must approve.
