Sheridan SEATED.
Ihe Washington National ReDubEC

The Washington National Republican
Gays:
We do not regret that the Committee on
Elections have decided in favor of George
A. Sheridan in the contest for Congressman
at large from Louisiana. He has been a
sterling Republican, but was, with many
others, led into the Greeley movement in
1872, while running upon what was know n
as the Fusion ticket" in Louisiana TIE
evidence IN bis case declares the fact that
he received thousands of Republican votes,
and the same evidence shows beyond ques-
tion the election OF Mr. Kellogg, and also
sustains the House in the wise conclusion
they reached yesterday in declaring him the
lawful Governor of Louisiana. While we
can not count Mr.. Sheridan as straight
republican, We are at least satisfied that
he will in no way defend or countenance
the violence and turbulence that has marked
the reign of the rebel Democracy in the
South. The decision in his case is proof to
the people of Louisiana that they are sure
OF Their right of representation, even if they
90 not elect man of "our political views"
provided his election is assured as in the
case Of Mr.. Sheridan.

William Walter Phelps,

The editor of the Albany Journal pub.
fishes in his correspondence from Washing
ton to that paper, some very unpleasant
truths about the ex- Congressman from New
Jersey:
Before he left his seat in the House to 90
to New Orleans he indicated, as is we'll
known in Washington, just what his report
would be. On his way South he passed
through Louisville, and frem that city as
personally know, came back the intelli gence
gathered from his outspoken conversation
there that his report would be Just what it
proved to be. These are positive, indis-
putable facts. In other words Mr.. Phelps
prriudged the case and, being appointed to
makean investigation, formed his conclu-
sions before he investigated at all. do
not cay one word against Mr.. Phelps or his
rectitude; l simply state the naked facts,
because deem them due to the public as
showing how much value should be at
tached to his report. Mr.. Potter and Mr..
Phelps were the majority and the master
minds of the committee. Mr.. Foster was
putty in their hands.

The Gigantic Fraud.

Somebody blupdered," or was drunk,
last Saturday night. Neither the Herald
nor the New Orleans journals were fur
nished with the telegraphic announcement
that the force bill had passed the House of
Representatives,. but it was furnished to the
Memphis papers and announced in their
columns on Sunday morning An explana-
ton is now in order, as there is no Reason
why the information should not have been
transmitted to Vicksburg and New Orleans
as we'll as to Memphis. p Ticksburg Herald
And somebody will continu ue to '.piunder"
until the New York Associated Press mo-
ropoly Of news by telegraph is knocked
into smithereens." We are glad to see that
at last the Herald has awakened to the
unworthiness and untruthfulness OF the
Washington and New York agents OF this
princely humbug. Its peculiar province,
of late, has been to circulate adverusem ents
of bawdy boOks-see the sensation made
over the History of George IV-and to
give publicity to lies about the South and
residents of the South, and the sooner ii IS
blown out of existence and somet hing re-
liable and responsible 5skes its place, the
better will the readers Of newspapers be
ased.-Jaekson Pilot.

A New Map Of Africa.

Lieutenant Cameron's map and journal
which were unaccOuntably delayed a.
Alden, have now arrived in this country
The map of Tanganyika, in five sheets
supplies an accurate delineation OF that
important lake. The survey has been exc
cuted with great care. Every cape and
indentation of the coast is shown and the
mouth Of every river. The names are all
given, and pains have evidently been be-
slowed upon obtaining a correct rendering
of the sound uttered by the natives. All
doubts about the discovery of the outlet
to Lake Tansanyika by Lieutenant Cam.
eron is removed by the arrival of the map.
The Lukuga river, at the bottom of q large
bay. is shown floating out of the lake, and
the course is delineated for q distance of
four miles. A range of mountains inter.
venes between the Ontlet and the mouth
Of the River Rugumba '(the Logumba of
LivingstOne), which flows into the lake be.
tween the Lukuga outlet and the Kasenge
Islands. Lieutenant Cameron observed
regularly for the variation of the compass,
and his general direction of the lake agre es
well with that of Livingstone. The dis.
tance from Ujiji to the south end of the
lake. according to Cameron agrees we'll
with Livingstone's latitude. - London

The point attempted by the Chicago Tri-
bn'se against the Republicans of Louisiana,
TO the effect that the census of 1870 shows
the late registration to have been fraudu-
lent on their part is not well taken. 1t
says
"The late registration showed an excess of
the cOlOred over the white voters, giving
9O,7Sl cOlored to 1868 white. That this
registration was incorrect is exhibited bv
the census reports. The census of 1870
which is accepted as correct, shows that in
That year there were in Louisiana 1906
white males and S6,9l3 colored males over
twenty-one years OF age, and yet the regis.
tratlon OF cOiOred voters exceeded by 1000
the total number of adult males returned
by the census, while the registration of
white voters was 10000 less"
And adds: The assumption that this
can be correct is altogether TOO violent for
belief"
We propose to show that there ia nothing
"violent'' about this assumption. On the
contrary, 1t Is literally correct. |. The
same census reports quoted by the Tribune
SHOW that there are about $4,000 aliens resi-
dent IN Louisiana. mostly in New Orleans,
=. Nearly four years have elapsed since the
esasaSf 1870 and during all that time the
Tigld system OF Ostracism practiced against
Nortnern immigrants prevented anv except
.ne naeurai increase OF the white popuIa-
ton. g. The fact that there was already
majority OF colored people in Lou siana In
Guced colored men from all parts of the
Soutn 70 seek homes on the rich alluviaI
lands OF that State. Hence, while the white
population has remained nearly stationary,
the colored population has steadily in
creased. Assuming the census of 1870 to be
correct, and assuming (which is a moderate
estimate) that there are 5000 white Repub
licans in the State, and there remains no
doubt that Louisiana is Republican BY Is 600
to 90 900 majority. No political question

ance or misrepresentation than this one of

Contrasrs in ConRress,


There has been at least one very stirring
scene in the House since wrote you last
the scene in which John Young Brown, Of
Kentucky, came haughtily down the aisle
for he was rot "brought," to receive at the
bar of the House the Speakers censure fol-
the language of his attack upon General
Butler. This John Young Brown is thirty
nine years of age and ''rebep' OF the most
fire emitting sort. He is not SO tall as the
average Kentuckian and quite stout. He
has curling black hair and wbiskers, dark
eyes, and fiorid dark face. He was elected
to the Thirty-sixth Congress, and unable
to take his seat for six months on account
of his youth. He was again elected to
Congress, and refused to take his seat
because he preferred to fight to destroy the
government to representing . constituency
in its legislative body. He entered the Con-
federate army, and survived to be elected
to the Forty-third Congress OF the United
States, and to be censured by its majority
for his prevaricatiOn, as we'll ~ the lam
guage of his attack upon General Butler.
He is man Of fervid temperament and hot
speech, of liberal education, and one of the
most eloquent orators of the House. In
what significant contrast to him appears
another man who made one of the strong
speeches of the civil rights debate-a col
Ored man, an enfranchised slave-Jafhes r.
Lynch, of Mississippi. He is scarcely a
shade darker than John Young Brown, and
eleven years younger, being but twenty
eight years of age. He received no
early education, and remained slave till
the rebellion set him free.
When the Union troops entered Natchez
he obtained chance to attend school for a
few months, and since then, by private
study. has acquired good English educa-
tion. He was elected to be q member of
the Mississippi Legislature and became
Speaker Of its House; was reelected and
then elected to be u member Of the Forty
third Congress of the United States. He is
of rather slight frame, the mental predOmi-
mating in him over the vital temperament.
He has an intellectual head, the reasoning
faculties strikingly predominant. He has
an aquiline nose, an olive complexion,
q thoughtful and rather sad expression.
as if the dark shadows of his early
lot had left shade of lingering
sorrow behind. Fortune did nothing for
him till he had reached mans estate. She
put ban upon his race. upon his educa-
ton, upon every right dear to human nature.
In twelve years he has had to make up for
the losses and the wrongs of all the life that
weat before; yet here he is, a Representative
of the people in tho Congress OF the United
States, the peer of one of fortunes most
favored sons John Young Brown. Yet. to
hear John Young BsOwn and his comrades
talk, you would think that all nature would
be cOnvulsed and tho universe driven to
dissolution if James r. Lynch should be by
law entitled in car and hotel TO equal amsni-
ties with John Young Brown! Oh, my

Ben Buffers Views.
The Washington correspondent of th
Chicago Tribune says:

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says:
General Butler authorizes the publication
of an interview with him here. He claims
that the passage Of the force bill was a
triumph of his own against the old recog-
nized leaders Of the party. He thinks that
the effects OF the force bill will be good IN
the coming elections in New Hampshire
and Connecticut, but doubts it's passage
through the Senate. He admits what every
body has believed, that he is in favor of an
extra session. He expresses fear that the
country may drift into another war, which,
without the passage of the force bill in the
Senate. he says seems not only possible but
imminent. He says that he is sad for the
future, and that there has been no darker
day since 1860 than the present. He sees
the danger in the temper of Southern men,
not of Southern statesmen. He anticipates
trouble in the next Presidential election in
the event that the votes of the Southern
States are controlled by Ku-Kiux and
White Leaguers. He says that in such
event the Northern States would not submit
to the results of the Electoral College.

How the Absence Of senator Cost
LOuisiana $50. 100000.

The other day when the appropriation
bill was before the United States Senate,
two Senators who were favorable to the
item making an appropriation of sl,5oO,O ,Oc0
for building the levees Of the Mississippi
river. left the chamber for the purpose Of
taking drink, or something of the sort,
and during their absence the item was
stricken out and Louisiana may be con-
sidered $50, ,00O,0 900 worse off than she would
otherwise have been. Had either one of
these Senators been present the item would
have stood. Their names have not vet
reached us, bnt we shall be sure to give
hem TO Our readers when they do.
This sum of $l,500000 would have se-
cured the building of more than 5000, 900
cubic yards of levees between the present
time and the first of next December within
the limits OF this State. This would have
included the Transylvania, Goodrich.
Raleigh, Bell and Newman, in Carroll par
ish, the Omega and Milliken's Bend, in
Madison; the Point Pleasant, Buckridge,
Upper Hard Tunes, and Waterproof, in
Tensas; the Marengo, Henderson Point,
Green and Glasscock, in Concordia; the
New Texas, and many others below Red
river. as we'll as those of Ashton, Diamond
Bend, MOrganza and Bonnet Carre. This
work would have saved the planters,
and thousands Of acres of land now en-
tirely valueless would have been placed
under cultivation and would have more
than doubled in value. Labor would have
been more secure and the laborer more
Industrious. 1t is difficult to estimate the
amount of good that would have been
accomplished, and it is unnecessary. 1t
seems hard, however, that it should be lost
on account of the negligence of those two
them.
