i WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 5.-The ind
cations OF the Republican speakers t.
day point to more determined, audaciou
and thoroughly revolutionary party polio
than has been dreamed Of by their most des
perate leaders in the last ten years, and it j
obvious now that the danger Of losing powe
has made them ready for any amount an
quality of crime sFos = q sas
THE PROCEEDINGS AT NEW ORLEANS,
are regarded by Democrats as showing th
utter desperation of the party in power, an,
the belief is strong that the American peopl
will visit the lawless act of Grant and his armed
minions with severe condemnation. It il
expected here that the people of Louisian!
will appeal to the State Legislatures many O
which are now in session, and that series O
meetings will be held throughout the country
to denounce the outrage. Sheridan is under
stood not to have had special orders for thi.
case, but to have had caste-blanche from Grant
before he went down to New Orleans, and an
understanding that he was to go all lengthsiu
sustaining the Kellogg Government.
ABsENTEEIsM-THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
Out Of ninety Democrats in the House Of
Representatives only sixty were to-day found
in their places, and ready to use the necessary
parliamentary expedients in order to defeat
the Civil Rights bill. Yet it was hard work to
rally portion of these gentlemen to this
necessary duty, the attractions to dinner being
SO strong as to make long resistance to the
bill very irksome. The next great struggle
next It cannot pass if the Democrats shall
be in their seats, but many of them are alb
sent. The effort will be made to pass it by q
two-thirds vote on that day. a7.--'''sse'
THE TRICK OF THE RADICALS.
The evident game of the Republicans in
Congress is to push the appropriation bills
through as rapidly as possible, SO as to avoid
any possible risk of an extra session. After
these bills shall be passed the game will be
next to spring and rush through various
measures devised to promote their party
such as the reconstruction Of Ar
kansas, the bill to regulate elections of the
South and provide for negro repeating, the
suspension of the habeas corpus, etc. The
obvious policy and interest of the Democrats
now is to scrutinize every measure thorough
ly, and to insist on ample time for examining
and debating the appropriation bills. They
can do this it the Democratic press will con-
descend to force the Congressional recusants
TO perform their duty, and if any Republican
measure of tyranny passes, it will almost GER
tainly be the result Of Democratic inertness |
The Republican leaders are pushing the army
bill first, that being the measure in which
hey have the keenest interest as twill enable |
hem to hold military control of the Southern |
States for their party purposes
TO REGULATE THE ARMY. |
1t is said that an amendment has been pre-. |
jared and win be offered by prominent |
Democrat, providing that no portion of the |
rmy shall be used to subvert any State Gov
mment or Legislature, as has just been done
q Louisiana. I
GEN. SHERIDAN |
, said to have telegraphed Grant tonight for
uthority to suspend the habeas corpus act
nd to declare martial law. It is fixed be-
eff of prominent Democracts that the pro-
ceilings at New Orleans are the first step of
determined and well considered policy to
revoke civil war in order to save the Repub-
can party from popular condemnation. /
