Republican partisans have made grea
deal Of capital out of the reinstatement OF
four democrats by the Louisiana legislature,
which act, it was said, was violation OF
the terms of the Wheeler compromise. This
view of the case was justified by an ex-
tremeIy foolish letter from Frye, Of
Maine, one of the arbitrators, who de-
nounced the restoration of these members in
the most violent language. AS the four
members in question had been declared
elected by the returning board, it would not
be easy to understand the theory on which
1t was claimed that they should still be ex-
cluded. The temporary organization OF the
House, during which they were expelled.
was conceded to have no authority. Mr..
Wheeler, under whose management the
whole compromise business was carried Oh,
his lust Published letter in which he de-
tends the reinstatement of the four demo-
Gratis who had been expelled, and declares
emphstcally: No one can be found 10
Louisiana to assert that at the time these
four democrats were unseated, there was
quorum Of the House present. So these
four democrats had never been legally de-
'prived of their seats. Being legally en-
titled to their seats, and having done moth
ing TO forfeit them, their reinstatement
was an act of simple justice which all fully
understanding the facts must approve"
or course the party press that has denounced
the action of the Louisiana Legislature so
savagely will pass over this vindication from
a leading republican congressman. Vigor-
Gus lying all along the line seems to be the
order of the day now.

To the members of the Common Council
this example is seriously commended. They
too have a work 10 do in the way of re-
form and retrenchment, and they should
not hesitate to follow in the footsteps of the
legislature. The republicans raised the sal
aries of the members of the legislature
and of the state officers, when their
own partisans were in power, and
thought it an exquisite joke to make reduc-
tons that would affect democrats. Let the
Council strike at all alike. The perquisites

CENTENNIAL CLAIMS.

SAMPLES OF WHAT WE NAY EXPECT FOR SOME
YEARS YET TO COME.
The New York Tribune says: We shall
live for several years to come in a rainy sea-
son of "Centennial' claims. One hundred
years ago almost every. part of the colonies
was animsted by the same patriotic spirit,
and local pride, stimulated by local tradi-
ton, is unusually active. Thus the
people of East Westminster, w., assert that
the "6 rst blood of the revolution was shed
wit hin their limits on the 18th OF March,
1775, and William French and Daniel
Houghton were shot in the court house by
Tories, thus securing a monument which
has been erected TO their memory by the
state. This bears the names of the
PAIR OF PRoTo-NARIYRs,
and also the epitaph copied from the head
stone of William French: "Here William
French, his Body Lies, For Murder his
Blood for vengeance cries; King George the
Third, his Tory crew, Ina with bawl bis
head shot threw; For Liberty and his
Country's good, He lost his life, his dearest
blood" They were noble men in those
days, but just a little sbaky in their orthog-
raphy, to say nothing of their poetry. Aud
vet this dOggerel is serious enough; it is i'm
possible to laugh at 1t, for it contains all the
elements of an epic. Most of us at times
had our "hesds shot threw" with a ssbawI,''
metaphorically only of the leaden kind.
William French had probably discharged
something of that sort at the Tory crew;
there was good deal of loud and strong
expression flying about in those days.
1t Is stated that in Chicago, on the LIST of
May, an expressman advertised as an in
ducement for patronage: Furniture loaded
so as To snow to the best advantage" Prob
ably this is only one OF the sarcastic fabrics
tons of which Chicago is the chosen victim;
but there is a germ OF sense in it after all.
Custom requires that all ones handsomest
furniturc shall be kept in dark room and
robed in psntslets and things. Then why
have handsome furniture? But, IL once a
year, We can display it to advantage upon
,.rts, and move IL in an attractive process
slon through the most frequented streets,
he considerable sum of money which it req
resents will not have been spent In vain.

The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
boasts that "he himself, is very handy per-
son In a bar fight" The Sentinel, which is
a serenely peaceful paper, regrets to hear this
very much. AT the same time it seems
rather strange that the man who went to
the Enquirer Office in duck pantaloons and
isle thread gloves, escaped with his life.

IL is a common charge that the democrats
drink whisky, but it can not be said that
they have stolen 81, 100000 out OF the gov

crime, although getting found out is little

Postmaster General Jewell ought to take

ton anyway.
