WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE tariff

beyond the first section, which applies only
to whisky. Propositions to reduce the tax

out the provision taxing stock on hand,
were rejected. An amendment was adopted
increasing the duty on champagne from $6
per dozen quarts to So, and from So per
dozen pints to "a SO.

The Republicans of that district of New
Jersey which is at present misrepresented
by Mr.. William Walter Phelps are con-
graduating themselves that they defeated
him last fall, when he was candidate for
reelection. His approval of the false re-
port made by his subcommittee upon
Louisiana affairs. and his subsequent de-
nunciation of the civil rights bill, have filed
his Republican constituents with disgust,
and Mr.. Phelps has certainly obtained the
only honors that he will ever secure from
them. There is a grave suspicion that the
action of Mr.. Phelps in these matters was
shaped upon the theory that if he could
econciliate the Democratic party he might
beat his adversary by contesting the eiec-
tion. Perhaps he may, although the result
is doubtful, and in any case such a triumph
will seal his fate as a politician. 1t is
lamentable encing for q career that
promised much at its beginning; but it may
serve as warning to other men who believe
principles can safely be sacrificed to
selfsh and ignoble ends.-,Philadclphiu Bul

I'VE, the People,"


The Bulletin indiscreetly publishes
sample of the causes which keep the Dem
ocrats from taking their seats in the Legis-
lature. 1t says:
According to previous notice, the White
Leaguers Of St. Martinville and vicinity
met this day, the thirteenth Of February,
1875, at Duchamp's Hall, and organized
the meeting by the appointment OF Mr..
Charles Gueriniere as president, and Charles
L. Lacaze as secretary.
This White League expresses its opinion
in series of resolutions, one of which re.
hearses the statement that "our submission
to the present de taeto government is and
has been compulsory" There is nothing
very new in the idea. Submission Of St.
Martinsville Confederates to the United
States government, go far as they have sub
mitted since the bottom of the JEFF Davis
government fell out, was compulsory also.
The White League endeavOrs to stiffen
up the shirking representatives who crouch
frightenedly under the Wilt banner. It
resolves:
That with all due respect for, and with
ont impugning the motives and patriotism
OF tn0ee mem Oer6 OF the CONSERVATIVE Logle-
lature who have entertained propositions of
compromise, or voted for the same, in the
hope of solving thereby the difficulties Of
our position, we, the people of St. Martin,
In mass meeting assembled, repudiate any
and all compromises having in view or
countenancing the recognition of the kel-
lOgg usurpatiOn, of the Hahn organization,
and of the legality of the military interfer-
ence of the federal authority in the organ
ization of our Legislature and in the in
ternal affairs of the State.
The Bulletin says it was meeting of the
White League at St. Martinsville. The
political gunners meet, and say, i've, the
people," instesd of We, the White League
people. This one turn of the wheel in the
machinery of intimidation is rather late in
the day, but it corroborates the mass mob
meeting held in Canal street, when the
Democrats first proposed what they con.
sldered as comprcmise-the taking Of the
seats which they by election are entitled to
fill. The White Leaguers are helping to
nstionai1e the troubles in Louisiana. They
keep up their organizations; they publish
edicts punotuated with shotguns; they in
struct the Democrats; threaten them. tell
them what to do; and the good little Dem
ocrats obey, because they are afraid.

Mrs. n. II. Burnham, who was the wife
of the Pantaloon, C. K. Fox, and afterwards
married DR.. Burnham, never noglects an
opportunity to probe hearts in their sorrow
with sharp words. OF Nelse Seymour. the
minstrel, who recently died, she writes to
the st. Louis Republican:
A good many years ago, Nelse met Efie
Germon, the soubrette of Wallack's Theater
Effie had been married to Carlo Patti, the
violinist (who died in St. Louis), but sc.
paration had taken place, and the war
had broke out. Carlo was down South and
Effie in Philadelphia; news came through
that Patti was killed, and Effie, considering
herself widow, married Nelse Seymour.
They were living very comfortably, when
Seymour found in a paper the announce
ment of Carlo PATHS safety and immediate
return to the States, and, with heartfelt
sorrow on both sides, the two parted to
come together no more. He lived q long
time with his mother and sister, who fairly
idolized him, and finally married again, the
lady this time being non-professional.

WASHINGTON.

Legislation Necessary to Defeat Frnudu-
lent Cotton Claims. ss,-
WASHINGTON, February l6-The follow
ing was received by Speaker Blaine from
Attorney General Williams:
DEPARTMENT. or JUsr,CR ,
Washington, February IL. 1875. I
Hon: James G: Blaine, Speaker of the House Of
SR-I respectfully invite the attention of
Congress to the following considerations
with view to suitable legislation upon the
subject: Claims to a very large amount for
the proceeds Of cotton seized by the au-
thorities of the United States during the
late war of the rebellion greatly in excess
OF the amount of: the proceeds now in
,aaa;I the hands Us OF the government are
and before the Court Of Claims. /
suggest that provision be made by
law that when any claim for the proceeds Of
any specific quantity of cotton is disallowed
that such proceeds be covered into the
Treasury, and put beyond the reach'of any
other claim that may be made for the pro-
ceeds Of cotton sold, as for example, ono
Mitchell brought suit to recover the pro-
ceeds Of 734 bales of cotton, which has Just
been determined by the Supreme Court
adversely to him, upon the ground that the
purchase was made in violation Of the laws
Ct war. and these proceeds, amounting to
$l2S, 6N ~, l think, ought now to be
regarded as money belonging to the govern
ment, and should, therefore, be conveyed
into the Treasury.
All of this fund held by the government
will probably be consumed by these claims
Unless this course is taken, it seems to mo
that it is of very little consequence for the
government to defeat claims for the pro-
ceeds Of cotton, if they may DO held to be
paid upon other claims%hat may be eventu-
ally allowed against the government. Very,
many OF these claims are probably fraudu-
lent, as their aggregate is greatly in excess
OF the aggregate amount of proceeds received
BY the government.
But it does not necessarily follow that
because they are fraudulent they will not
prevail, AZ those who furnish testimony
very often are participants in the frauds,
and expect to share in the amount Of tho
recovery.
/ am of the opinion that the interest of
the government requires some legislation
upon this subject.
An Unconstitutional Election Enjoiued.

Fight In St. James Parish.

We learn from passenger who came down
from St. James parish yesterday that fight
occurred on plantation about twelve miles
below Donaldsonville, yesterday morning.
Our informant states that a merchant had
been advancing supplies to the colored men
who were working the plantation on shares;
that the merchant did not receive his
money when it became due, and that he
procured writ of seizure on quantity of
sugar which had been produced on the
plantation. In attempting to execute the
writ the sheriff and his posse is said to have
met with resistance, with the result that, as
Orpheus e. Kerr puts it in his poem:
-Four colored men were badly wounded"
In fact, they were killed. At the time our
informant left there was considerable ex-
citement in the parish, and armed men
were hurryins to the scene of the fight. We
will not voucb for the accuracy Of this state
ment, but we give it as it comes to us.

West Virginla's Sena tor.

After long contest in the Legislature Of
West Virginia, the telegraph announces the
election Of Allen T. Caperton, Democrat.
Mr.. Caperton is personally popular in his
State. He is said to be about sixty five
years Of age, fine looking, with flowing white
hair and beard. He was a Confederate
Senator-an original rebel who has never
since been reconstructed; for after the war
he persistently refused to ask for the re-
moval Of his disabilities. He is lawyer
and q pleasing speaker. His election is but
another instance of the animus of the
Southern Democrats in putting forward
Confederate leaders in politics, as reward
for past services and to re-enact old dissen-
sions

An Insurance Inspection Department..

1AH AAS0r"uce Inspection department.
Senator Stamps has introduced. substi-
tute for the bill previously presented in the
Senate providing for the establishment of a
department to be known as the insurance
inspection department, which is to be
charged with the execution of the laws of
this State in relation to insurance, and
which is to have a supervision of insurance
companies doing business here. 1t is be-
lieved the passage Of bill of this kind will
do much good in protecting a very large
class of our people possessed of homesteads
against bogus insurance companies. It is
q well known fact that, as matters now
stand in this respect, it not unfrequently
happens that men Of small means invested
in house and furniture frequently insure
the same for the purpose Of being pro.
tected to some extent against fire. They
take out their policies and renew them
yearly, until finally they are overtaken by
fire and their property consumed. Then it
is that they discover they have been cruelty
deceived in their expectations of being in.
demnified against the destruction of their
property by fire. The insurance company
proves to be bogus one, and they find
themselves without any remedy. The o.
ject of the bill before the Senate is to guard
against these concerns and give protection
to small property holders-who are liable to
their impositions. The bill prepared by
Senator Stamps, and now before the Senate,
has been copied from law in force in
Pennsylvania, and it ia believed similar
law in this State would prove very beneficial.
