NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY, JANUARY "a, 1875
For the Republican.
NOT AFRAID.

When, from Louisianas bloody sod,
Justice and Mercy cry aloud to God;
When the hot tears that fall from widowed eyes,
And the wild shrieks, from orphaned hearts that
rise,
Shall move the vengeance of the Lord of all,
And on the oppressors heads his hands shall fall;
When that dark hour, which comes to all alike,
Shall on tine murdeTers on the murdered, strike;
When to the souls burdened with mortal sins,
Awful'Eternity's stern reign begins
How gladly then would they, in that last hour,
Resign their lust Of wealth and greed OF power,
All joys for which frAi man has ever played
That they might say, as Sheridan has said,
Before their God, Lo, we mot afraid"
And ye, heartstrichen souls who wildly weep,
And DER your slaughtered dead sad vigils keep
Remember, God sees all your bitter pain,
Think not that your loved ones shall have died in
vain.
Lo from their graves shall retriDution rise,
And Justice, frowning from a nations eyes,
Freedom, and Peace, and Love, shall hand in hand
Walk smiling through our glorious Southern land.
The poor man. meath his vine aud figtree's shade
Shall rest; the tyrants bloody hands be STAYED
Race against race no longer be arrayed,
But all be free, and man ''be afraid"

The ShawInut.

In our Issue of yesterday we published an
extract from a letter which appeared in the
Bloomington Paragraph, signed "E. j..
Lowery, United States navy, United States
steamer Shawmut," characterizing General
Sheridan's dispatches concerning Louisiana
affairs as scandalous. When similar White
League literature emanated from the Ca
nandaigua, no disclaimer was put IN by the
officers, who should have been interested
in the reputation of the ship, and the
offense was repeated, leaving the officers
liable to the Inference that such stuff was
not disagreeable to them. In the present
case an officer of the Shawmut comes
promptly forward to place the man LOwery
where he properly belongs, and he is there
now if language can effect his removal from
the Shawmut. If the commander and Off
cess of the Shawmut are distressed about
the acts of a man who sails among their
crew, we do not wonder at it; but the letter
has gone forth to the country through the
medium of an Illinois journal, and it must
stand for what it is worth-the opinion of a
rebel sailor in a United States ship.

Balls.

On Wednesday evening next will be
given the grand subscription ball, under
the managemenB of the Grand Commandery
of Louisiana and the three Communicates
of Knights Templar OF this city. The ball
will be at the spacious Exposition Hall, and
it will be the event OF the dancing season
for magnlfcence and style. The names Of
the committee of arrangements can be
found in another column, any member of
which will receive subscriptions and appli-
cations for ladies invitations.
Another ball to come OF is the regular
Mardi Gras ball at the st. Charles Theatre.
Mr.. P. Gleason, treasurer. is now ready to
receive applications Tor the invitation of
ladies. For twenty years such ball has
been annually given at the old st. Charles,
undisturbed by political events, and the
people expect and patronize them.
Elaborate preparations are also being
made for grand carnival ball at the
Academy of Music, on the evening of Feb
ruary 9. With less attractions elsewhere
than usual, the theatre balls will be attrac-
tive features of the evening, and the
Academy will not be left for want of attrac-
tions. Mr.. Patrice Short, the agreeable
young gentleman at the box office, is pre-
pared to issue invitations for ladies upon
application,

POppycOck.

Gath" epitomizes the Louisiana case, in
a late letter to the Pittsburg Dispatch:
MY personal opinion has been all along
that the Louisiana sensation is political and
newspaper pOppyooek. l don't know what
pOppycOck is, but this must be it. It is
usurpatiOn to us5 regular army troops TO
take stOwaways out OF the Legislature; it
was military usurpatiOn for Sheridan to pO-
lice devastated Chicago with soldiery. But,
as ChicagOans, the people of the burnt city
were glad. AS an American felt relieved
to read Sheridan's dispatches. 1t was with
no good will that the rebellion laid down its
arms, but its long resentment has not been
to the blue Jackets of the Union, but TO the
black skins of the unfortunate negroes. To
recover the State without the votes and
control negro labor, has been the desperate
game of the COntederates. Perhaps iu
would have been better to let.them have it,
bnt that was not the law. If Grant made
an original mistake, it became the choice,
nevertheless, until Congress should relieve
him. Once he permitted butchery by the
White League. To do so second time
would bs oalpable. The troops obeyed the
recognized Governor, and the fact that tho
Kellogg government was physically weak,
explains the troops. When the United
States submits 70 be bluffed by q secret
league the rebellion has reappeared.

Mr.. Evarts, the learned New York attor-
ney, at Cooper Institute recently, addressed
himself directly TO the public, but indirectly
to the New York Democratic Legislature, in
denunciation of the President, General
Sheridan, andthe Republicans of Louisiana.
And yet the bright legal luminary was
eGpsed by the dull adipOse of Francis Ker-
nan, when 1t came to the filing Of Senator
Fenton's seat.
The great Charles Francis Adams spoke
his piece to the same effect, in FaReuil Hall,
aHd then rushed into Democratic caucus
for the senatorial nomination, and was left
far behind by Judge Abbott
But the worst case of all was that of the
Hessian statesman from Missouri, who
tapped his wings, metaphOrically speaking,
and crowed loudly for the Southern White
Leaguers, but the echo of whose eloquenee
had hardly died away upon the Missouri
prairies before General Cockreu was
chosen Senator in his place,
Recent events in Louisiana seemed to be
seized upon with wonderful eagerness by
disappointed but ambitious statesmen,
whom the Republican party had placed
upon. the retired list, hoping by their elo'
quence to obtain new lease of public life;
but these expectations are like Dead Sea
apples. The Democracy know too well to
trust such men. They may go and lay
themselves away again on the shelf where
they belong, and console themselves as far
as possible with the fact that they may re-
main there undisturbed for all time tC

The theatres during the past week have
struggled against bad weather, but they
have done something in the way of bust
ness. The matinee at the Varieties yester-
day showed the largest house of the season,
full from top to bottom, which must have
been gratifying to Mr.. Barrett, and to
manager Davey. Tomorrow evening Law
renee Barrett will appear in his mastery
impersonatiOn of CGSsills, in Julius Caesar"
How we'll he can play the part, most of us
know. In depicting the lean and trettul
CaSsiltS he has no rival; the press and
public have rendered such a verdict. We
certainly desire that he will not mar the
effect Of the play by also appearing as Mare
AlltORy upon the same evening. He speaks
the GRAFTON over the body of Caesar better
than any one else, perhaps, but the protean
effort weakens his CdSsius, and is biz of
vanity even Mr.. Barrett can not afford TO
indulge in. On Tuesday evening Mr.. Bar
rett will appear as Eliot Gray in "Rose-
dale"
Mrs. F. w. Lander closed her season at
the st. Charles Theatre last night, appear
| ing as Cleopatra. The production Of "An-
tony and Cleopatra" has been the most
notable event of her engagement, from its
novelty and the admirable manner in which
| it was put upon the stage. To night Tony
Denier's double Humpty .Dampty troupe
will appear and iRaugurate a week Of fun.
At the Academy of Music Miss Lucille
Western makes her last appearance to
night, when the "Child Stealer" will be
/ acted. The stock company will fill ont the
coming week, producing "Under tue Gas
light"

Death of Colonel Punch.

We regret to be called upon to announce
the death of Colonel Philip j. Punch, editor
and publisher of the New Orleans Cotton
and Produce Circular. Colonel Punch has
been in feeble health for several months.
but not till only quite recently did his
friends feel any fears of fatal result. De-
ceased was formerly citizen of Georgia,
where he was for many years leading
editor, notably of the Savannah Georgian
at time when that and the Augusta Con
stitl.tiOnalist were the leading Democratic
papers of the State. A turn in politics
however. proved unfavorable to his pecu
mary interests, and he lost his money in
consequence of his faithful adherence to
party. He came to New Orleans in 1857
and soon after accepted an engagement
with the Commercial Bulletin which con
tinued until the suspension of that paper by
General Butler in 1862. Colonel Punch
then entered the Confederate service, and
at the Olose of the war founded his com
meroial circular, which was deservedly
popular.

BY TELEGRAPH,
WASHINGTON,
Republican Senators in Caucus on thr
Louisiana Case.


Louisiana Case.
WASHINGTON, January 23.-The Repub-
hcan Senators held caucus to-day which
continued for several hours. The chief
topic OF discussion was the condition of the
South, but there being conflicting views no
result was reached. The caucus, instead of
giving their views on the Louisiana ques-.
ton, agreed to await the action of the Com
mlttee on Privileges and Elections on the
Pinchback credentials, and will therefore
be governed in the Senate by the commit
tees report. Some Of the Senators saw
no escape from the present difficulties in
that State except by remanding it to a
territorial condition. By this means thew
could avoid the complications growing out
of the official recognition OF the Kellogg
government and open way by which order
may be restored Others thought a stronger
hand might be stretched toward several of
the Southern States otherwise there might
be anarchy. There were opinions different
from these expressed by the more Conser-
vative Senators. All seemed to comprehend
the dlthculties of the situation, but there
was no distinctive plan formally presented
as measure of relief
House Caucus.
There was a large attendance at the
House Republican caucus tonight, and a
general discussion as to what was best to
be done IN view of the present condition of
Jne Soutn, out none OF the measures re-
| ported at the previous caucus were acted
| upon. Finally a resolution was adopted
placing the power Of passing all public acts
| with the majority of the House
A resolution for this purpose will prob.
ably be introduced in the House on Monday,
and when adopted will have the effect Of
| evading the twO-thirds rule as to public
acts, including civil rights, the more ener-
getic enforcement of protective laws in the
South, and authorizing the President to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus in certain
| cases, together with other measures which
| have been the subject of consideration by
| the caucHs committee, The proceedings are
| reported TO have been harmonious and the
result entirely satisfactory,
