The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-02-24
POLITICAL On DIE.

There was considerable excitement in po-
litical circles this morning over the pending
question before the caucus Loud and deep
were the imprecations heaped upon the
friends of compromise, and everywhere was
expressed the sincere hope that the Conserva-
tiTes would not bite at the proffered bait.
One thing which surprises the people is why
such unusual secrecy should be observed in
a matter which must eventually be put be-
fere the constituents of those who are sitting
with closed doors. The people say that it
slnacks too much of the dark lantern to be
agreeable.
4 Mistake.
1t was a source Of much regret to learn Of
the rem 4rks Of Capt. Kidd yesterday and
Mr.. Kelley to-day, in caucus, regarding the
people OF New Orleans who desire to attend
the meetings Of that body.
AIr. Kidd said that he desired the delibera-
tons to be free from the presence Of the .'riff-
raft of the city, and he did not propose to
be controlled by mob. Mr.. Kelleys speech
amounted to the same thing.
Now, in all earnestness, we cannot believe
these gentlemen really think that any attempt
Will be made to control their action in caucus
by mob force. The idea that the people of
New Orleans, who have stood the brunt of the
political battles for the last eight years, the
city first to 80 the aid of the country in their
kind is keyond our ken. No, gentlemen
Sit with open doors, for the cause you repre-
sent needs no screen; it is as bright as sum
mer sunshine as clear as crystal streams.
The O.hcr side.
From the apparent apathy exhibited on the
part Of those men near the throne in Kellogg
court about the compromise, one would Judge
that they were not interested parties. Kel-
logg is the only one who seems to take an in
terest in the matter for the Crowd smile
when the subject is mentioned There is
something at the bottom of all this, and it
would not surprise US if after action is taken
the Pitt phalanX would sheer at the rendered
offers.
Last evening the st. Charles rotunda was
crowded with those who take interest in the
'
any other subject was discussed during the
evening, and from the many expressions of
opinion 1t was easily known that no-compro-
mise men We're ten to one over their oppo-
nents There can now be no doubt but
what anything looking to bending Of the
knee to Pitt will be resented at once by the
whole people
Nevertheless, there were some members of
to think that the salvation of the State rested
with the acceptance Of the Wheeler PROPOSE
ton, but they We're very few. It is as well
for the people to understand the situation
heir rights ina jeopardy, their property at
stake, it should be given to them. The Con- |
yressional Committee have reported against
he action Of the Returning Board. This, it !
,ient to quiet the desire to bow to the ds |
aeto. -.
This report, so far as the Legislature is
concerned, gives US what was justly ours.
Vow how is it truce with this demagogue
oitt is to be brought about when we will re-
GIVE what We claimed on January 4 All |
Kellogg wants is guarantee that be will not
e impeached, and this no legislator who
epresents his conservative constituents can
upport. The day is past for this.
