LOUISIANA. On the first page OF
the OPINION this week will he found
an account of the attempt to organ
ize the Legislation of Louisiana, to
which we call the attention of the
reader, in order that he may better
understand what follows:
Gen. Sheridan on Saturday sent
to the Secretary Of War u state
ment defending his action. He says
that during the few days previous
to the 4th inst. the general topic of
conversation was the scenes of
bloodshed which were liable to &C.
cur on that day, and / repeatedly
heard threats of assassinating the
Governor, and regrets expressed
that he was not killed on the Nth
of September last; also, threats of
assassination of the Republicans
members OF the House, in order to
secure the election of a Democratic
Speaker, also know of the kidnap-
ping by the banditti of Cousin, one
of the mem bers- elect of the Legisla.
ture. In order to preserve peace,
and to make the State House safe
for a peaceable assembling of the
Legislature, Gen. Emory, upon the
requisitiOn of the Governor, station
ed troops in the vicinity of the build.
ing, owing to the precautions, the
Legislature assembled in the State
House without any disturbance of
the peace.
Gen. Sheridan then gives about
the same account of what happen ed
in the Legislative Hall as that pub.
lished on the first page, adding how
ever, that the acting Speaker d.
rected the Sergeant.at-Arms to pre-.
vent the egless or ingreSs of men,
bers or others, and several exciting
scuffles, with knives and pistols
drawn, took place, and for a few
moments it seemed as if bloodShed
would ensue. At this moment, MIR.
Dupre, the member from Orleans
Parish, moved that the military
power of the General Government
be invoked to preserve peace, aud
that q committee be appointed to
wait on General DeTrObriand, the
commanding officer Of the United
States troops stationed at the State
House, and request his assistance
in clearing the lobby. The motion
was adopted, and a committee of
five, of which Mi. Dupre was made
Chairman, was sent to wait upon
General Beforehand, and soon re-
turned with that officer, who was
accompanied by two of his staff Of
ticers. The General proceeded to
the lobby and addressed few words
to the excited crowd. Peace was
at once restored.
The Republicans, had now gcner-
ally withdrawn from the ball, and
united in signing a petition to the
Governor, stating their grievances
and asking his aid, which petition,
signed by tifty-twO legally returned
members OF the House, is in my pos |
session. Immediately subsequent
to the action of Wilt in ejecting |
the Clerk of the old House, MIR. Bill

Please send me one dozen bottles

years old, and having worn a wig

to those who have known her SO
long so bald, and what little hair
she had being perfectly white; now
her wig thrown aside, her hair grown
out, and a smooth glossy brown as

continue to pour blessings "on the

siOnul Committee wonll show that
the Conservatives did carry the last
election there, and were deiraud"l
of their victory by the Returning
Board. He then addressed IN ap'
peal to the Republican Senators
not to attempt to find any .iustitica'
tiOn for what had been done now,
and M they valued their precious
inheritance bequcathed to them, NOT
10 triilc with this matter.
On Tuesday Senator Howe ut
Wisconsin replied ut considerable
length to Senator Seizures attack
upon the Republicans of the day
previous. Howe claimed that the
Democrats had always been OPP
posed to allowing the colored people
in this country any chance to get
above life of servitudc; had III
ways opposed the education of the
negro; and done Everything posi-.
bic to keep them trod down and op'
pressed. In relation to the Louisi.
ana affair MIR. Howe says:
Mr.. SchuIz had advertised him
self as being above party prejudice
or passion. and that he had left all
party ties and political aspirations
behind, and from this point the Sen
atOr had screamed to the country
two charges. The charges which
perva,led the whole speech of the
Senator, were: First, that Il de
tachment Ofthe United States troops
on the 4th of January removed from
the Legislature of Louisiana certain
members Of that body. 1t was done
in pursuance of the orders Of Gen.
Sheridan, and by direction of the
President, acting in the name of the
Republican party of the country.
The second charge was even worse
than this that the Republican party
ncCuraged the murder of Republi-
cans in one section that it afford
ed a pretext for crushing the liber-
ties OF the people Of that section.
The Republican party had given
the President no instructions what
ever as to what should and what
should not be douc in New Orleans.
any further than these instructions
we're to be gathered from the law of
the land. Gen. Sheridan was not
in command when the events com
planned Of took place, and ordered
no one to be taken out of the Leg
islature, and finally no member of
the Legislature was taken out by
any one. AS to the second charge,
that the Republican party encour
aged murders for party advantages,
it did not do justice to that Senator
himself, or to the intelligence of the
country. Mr.. Schurz said the Sen.
atOr was not constituting his remarks
correctly. Mr.. Howe was glad he
was mistaken, then, in his under
standing of the Senator's remarks.

VINO was born in 1859, before the birth
OF our Nations Independence, and
who, singular to say, has voted for ev-
cry President except Washington,
whom he objected TO for some reason of
his own, which he now declines to
give. He still enjoys a major portion
OF his faculties, except hearing. He is
rather deaf, but can hear if you speak
above an ordinary tone. He is as ac-
tive as most men of siXty-five. He
lost his right arm forty years ago by
the fall OF tree; but still works around
hi~ garden, reals the papers, and goes
down street. The old gentleman
| dislikes very much to be bother
ed with visitors, and is in no way par
ticular about concealing his displeas-
ure. but rather seems to think he has
rights all others should bow down to.
| But if he Is in a loquaciOuS mood, or if
his wife (his second One) is present, and
of whom he is rather afraid, he will
talk to you, and get very much excited
at times. He has rather fOndnesS for
newspaper men, and 10 tell him you

the subject ofan illustrated sketch sew

very much. He bids fair to live sew

vauable and novel feature of our Cen
tennial Exhibition next year, to which
we think he could easily be persuaded
to go. Several of his sons live near
him, the youngest of whom is seventy

from all parts of the United States since
