'sThe Pack.',

In consequence of an edict from Rex,
the usual Mardi Gras parade did not take
place in daylight, which prevented New
Orleans paying compliment to generous
Boston. The Pack intended to illustrate
a page in Boston's early history, that is
re-enacting her tea party. A full rugged
vessel was to be put on cotton floats, and
men. attired as Indians, were to throw the
taxed tea overheard, while British seamen
stood by in amazement looking at the pro-
ceeding. The picture would have been q
novel one, and would have reminded Bos.
tonians that we remember their generosity
in the time of our adversity.

Communicated
Major Burke's Testimony.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
In your ''Expediency" article of this
morning you fall into the error of reporting
my testimony before the congressiona,
committee incorrectly. The principal por-
ticn of the language given was that Of Mr..
Frye on crossexamina ton, and my assent
was only given to certain portions Of it.
The statement concerning Governor
WarmOth's connection wife the Fusion
movement was that "he had been elected
Governor of the State by the Republican
party, and was supposed to have great in
tuence with the colored people and white
Republicans, and it was believed by many
that he could bring to the support Of our
ticket large number Of colored voters and
white Republicans
did not state that his political course
had been condemned by nine tenths of the
people"
Did not state that Warmoth changed the
result of the election fifty per cent in every
instance when it was against him; or make
any statement that resembled such Lam
guage. OF
Did say, as member of campaign com
mittee, that knew that no frauds had been
authorized by said committee or committed
under its supervision.
Did not say it made difference whether
the political scoundrel was Democrat or
a Republican.
Did state that lit was the belief that if
the election machinery were used against
the Democratic party it would ensure their
defeat, but did not state "that caused them
to secure it's use by his assistance
My testimony shows that there was NO
pledge or obligation whatsoever given
Governor Waymoth in the Fusion of 1872,
except resolution passed by the Liberal
convention prior to the Fusion, on the
Contrary, flied with the committee reso.
luton written by himself and sent to the
conference committees Withdrawing his
claims for any nomina ton.
Did state that many believed that War
MOTHS services in stumping the State and
his personal support of tie Fusion ticket
entitled him to election to the United
States Senate, but gave no testimony that
implied q bargain of any kind.
Respectfully,
T.. A. BURKE.

these gentlemen gave even an intimation as
to what their report would be, therefore it
is conjecture in that direction. 1t is not
difficult to surmise that with the memory
of Saturday nights meeting at Clay Statue
in the committee's minds, they will not favor
the Democratic side. One Of our city jour
nails stated yesterday morning that Mr..
Marshall would not leave until this evening,
which was incorrect. The four gentlemen
left together.

A Poor Mardi Gras.

Rex did not reign yesterday, but the
clouds did, and MarGi Gras was one of the
dullest seen in New Orleans for many a
year. During the evening few children
and lewd women paraded central streets,
attired in browsy trimmings, but there was
no display worthy of mention. Many peo-
pie were on the streets, notwithstanding
disagreeable weather. At night there were
no outside attractions, therefore all the
mask balls were we'll attended, and natu-
rally the participants enjoyed themselves.

other elements of strite-comprehending in

The .Adju stnent Matter.

With the departure of the congressional
C committee the discussion on this question
has very materially subsded. The Demo-
cratic legislative caucus adjourned at late
hour Monday night after having agreed to
new proposition, the exact nature of
which has not been made public. We learn
that the new proposition was handed to Mr..
Wheeler yesterday morning previous to
the departure of the congressional commit
tee for Washington, and that that gentle
man promised to communicate with the
committee which waited on him upon his
arrival in Washington. Upon intimations
which have been given us We base the be-
that it will receive no serious attention at
the hands Of the congressional committee,
and that the compromise on the plan pro-
posed by the disintere ested gentlemen COM
posing that committee, and which contem-
plated the utmost generosity toward the
Democracy, is dead.
We infer that the country members and
those of the city who voted for the original
conference plan, have been backed down
by the Committee of Seventy and the active
and noisy city politicians. and that they
have been badgered into a withdrawal from
their first proposition, which contained
some clements of fairness, into another
which is go manifestly unfair that it can not
be even considered by their opponents.
This course was adopted by the non com
promisers for the obvious purpose of com
mitting the country members to a plan
which they knew would not be successful,
and thus accom- plish their object.

The Proposed Retirement Of Genera
Emory.
A anacial To tha New York Hernld Eah

Emory.
A special to the New York Herald, Feb
ruary 4, from New Orleans. says:
A dispatch having been published to day,
stating that Senator Logan had introduced
bill in the Sena-e to retire General Emo.
~, your correspondent called upon him in
regard to the same. General Emory said
that he was not at all surprised at it, hav-
ing been for over tortv-three years in the
service, and most of that time at the front.
He was past the age fixed for retirement,
yet still he was active in physique. Under
the circumstances he was not only satisfied,
but glad TO retire. He had served through
the Indian wars and through the Mexican
wal .in which he had received three brevets
during his entire military career be had
never met with single disaster. and had
received all his brevets from captain up to
Major General for gallant service in the
field. He now only ranked as colonel in
the regular army, and after lifetime spent
in the service Of his country would regard
it as great hardship TO be retired with
that rank. He was satisfied with his record
ss d seldier, and perft city prepared to ac-
cept than ktuliy whatever mark of recogni
ti"n it might please Congress or the govern
uent to bestow

THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 30, 1875
State Temperance Convention.

The temperance men and women of Maine, of all
religious political and temperance organizations and
tnose not connected with either, invited to meet
at Meonian Hall. in Augusta, on Wednesday ,Janu-
airy 18TH, 1876 at IL o'clock A. M for the purpose Of
holding Mass Temperance Convention.
Inls being the centennial year of our national ex-
lstence, 1t is highly important and fitting that we
should meet in convention and declare ourselves free
and Independent of King Alcohol, and take every
utter determination.
among the many questions that it may be proper
TO consider, the following are important :-"What
can De done to aid the reform clubs in their noble
WORK.! How can we encourage and help those no.
BILE women who are organizing crusade movements
and women christian temperance soeietes?" sis
tnere not necessity that something should be done
10 more eectualy suppress the sale of intoxicating
cider and domestic wines? ?'' ssShould NOT the yari
GUS religious denominations of the State take more
decided and active measures in this great cause
ought not the legislative, judicial, executive and
municipal bodies of our state to take stronger and
more decisive measures for the suppression of the
great evil OF intemperance?" 'Shoud not the yari-
GUS temperance organizations of the state receive the
encouragement of every friend of temperance?''
1t seems to us that there has not been for several
years more favorable crisis in the Temperance
movement in this state than the present. The work
gether with the cooperation of the faithful women
engaged in this work, should encourage every friend
OF Ihe cause and prompt to renewed diligence
,i me convention will probably be continued through
Thursday. While We cannot promise free accomm0-
dation to those attending the convention vet we will
make an effort to secure board at reduced rates The
usua reduction OF fare may be expected on the sew
eral railroads and steamboats,
