FEELING AGAINST MIR. FOSTER.
The Southern Question in Congress.

Especial Telegram to the Cincinnati Commercial
! WASHINGTON, Jan. ia remarkable and
bitter feeling among the Administration Re-
publlcans has sprung up against Mr.. Foster
tof the Louisiana Investigating Committed,
who has manfully stood up for his own
opinions, and has refused to yield up his
judgment at the dictation of those who have
endeavored, by appealing to his partisan feel
lngs, to influence him. They denounce him
as they did before he went to New Orleans
saying that he is not genuine Republican.
They cannot understand that man will
claim to act with party and still refuse to lie
| for it.
1t Is the same feeling that led Ben. Butler
to say to Foster, last winter, that "You will
reform the Republican party out of power"
All the threats and coaxings that have been 50
unsparingy used to induce him to change his
conscientious convictions have failed and the
party are greatly enraged, while the country
Will gain by having for once at least, an i'm
partial report as to the administration of the
republican party and the operations of its
policy in the South.
RIhere is much discussion as to what will
be done with the Southern question. The
proposition Of Southern Republicans, headed
by Alexander White, of Alabama, to declare |
that the States of North Carolina, Georgia.
Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas have not |
governments republican in form, does not
meet with much favor. The proposition to
give Louisiana provisional government fora
sufficient length of time to enable her people
to restore order and peace is gaining in favor.
The new election proposition is, on the other
hand, steadily losing ground.
BUFFERS NEW ELECTION BILL,
The House Judiciary Committee this morn
ing took three votes upon three several propo
sltions respecting Louisiana. The first mo-
ton was that Buffers bill for a new election
pc favorably reported. This was defeated.
There were but three votes for it-Messrs.
Butler, Tremain and Pollard Mr.. Wilson. of
indiana, who was absent, lit is claimed, would
nave voted for the bill, but there was ma &
orIty OF seven against it. A motion was also
defeated to direct subcommittee to prepare !!
bill for provisional government.
motion that bill be prepared recoo. :
'izing the Kellogg government shared the
anne fate. The committee have thus far
egatIved the only three propositions that
ave been suggested as possible solutions of ;,
he Louisiana question. This indicates simplv u
hat the committee is not yet ready to take i
nal action. but desires to await the return of :,
ne committee from New Orleans. The in -
lcatlons are that if there was no other al :;
srnatlve, the committe would vote for a pro- -
lsional government. p

whenever the necessities Of any political narty

DRIVEL.

The Pittsburg Dispatch, in an article whic1
is singularly fair and bipartisan, consider
ing its source, alleges that the only plea upo,
which the conduct OF Gen. Sheridan can b,
justified is that Of "military necessity bu

DESIRE a government that suits them, thew

Now, we submit that this is too much for
gravity. Here we have been deliberately
swindled out Of two elections, absolutely
robbed out of the results of two hardly con-
tested and peaceful political campaigns, and
are gravely told that if we ever obtain what we
desire, it must be ''by ballots and not by bull

we are quietly informed:

POLITICAL ON DIT.

Monday morning opened in political mat

that was visible in other matters in general
The rumors set adrift by Radical politicians
that there was a move intended of thos
elected on the Conservative ticket to effec
some coup detat by which possession Of thu
State-House would be attained, was washed
away by the mornings rains, and the credulity
OF kellogg's crowd more thoroughly exposed
| Around the State-House the same old block
ade was kept up, and those who desired tc
| effect an entrance had to undergo searching
cross-examination as to their business and
their status.
1t was evident that the feeling on the part
OF Loan and Norton, who appear to be the
mayor domos at the door, had suffered no
change since Saturday, as the vigilance of the
guards was not in the least slackened, and
their support undiminished.

THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE.
There was hardly ripple disturbing the
perfect smoothness Of the peoples caucus.
The attempt made on Saturday to detain in
the State-House two Conservative members
who visited there for the purpose of securing
letters and papers left when the withdrawal
'ook place, excited some comment, but the |
story only drew forth hearty laughter and
nothing else. The determined stand assumed
IN January is faithfully abided by. Judging
rom the expressions dropped by Legislators,
here is little chance for any change Every
member is firm and fixed.

The engine is fifth class, has single

fire engine ever made. She is perfect beauty
and excited the admiration of every one who
saw her.
The trial was perfect success. The ma

following is the report of the judges of the

Ben Butler has nice little bill before Con
gress to regulate affairs and fix up things
generally in Louisiana. The General MAG.
UNANIMOUSLY condescends to throw overheard
the Kellogg usurpation, which claims to have
| q two years lease, and proposes new election
| tor State officers and legislators. The cleo
ton is to be under the superintendent of
three persons appointed by Grant They will
probably be Kellogg, brother-in-law Casey.
and Attorney, General Dibble. They are to
select two others from each of the political
parties. This would make the board stand
four Republicans and one Democrat, and this
board is to appoint from different parties two
Supervisors OF Registration in each parish.
The ballots are to be publicly counted when
the voting is over, and the result certified to.
Then it is also provided that the President
Gen. Grant, be authorized to use the army
and navy to carry out this election. How un-
der this bill the people of Louisiana are to be
benefited We don't perceive. Their condition
now, perhaps, can not be made worse, but
would not the Butler escape be from the frv-
ing pan into the fire? The election officers
are to be named by Grant, and he is to have
the army and navy to enforce it. How would
that strike US in Ohio? Does the President
have any thing to do with our elections? Are
soldiers ever permitted to be present at the
places where votes are given? We have our
own election officers appointed by ourselves.
Why should not Louisiana have the same |
privilege? She was admitted into the Union |
on equal terms with Ohio In many of the |
States 1t is the law that no regular soldiers
shall come within several miles of a place
where elections are held, and this is rule
which should prevail everywhere. There
can be no fair election in Louisiana which
does not include as precedent to it the cleo
hon OF officers to conduct it by popular
vote, and the retirement from the State of the
United States army which has been used to
ntimidate and coerce voters at the yarions
DOLLS. An election where the President.
through his officials, conducts and las the
rmy to enforce is a farce of the greatest
