;. New Move for Compromise.
1t has leaked out that there is on foot
movement to bring forward again the subjec
Of an amicable adjustment of our difficulties
but this time there are some new hands a
the wheel. Not satisfied with the loud an6
general expression of public opinion in con-
demnation Of the scheme, these individuals
now come forward and, one would be inclined
to believe, assume to represent the whole
people, and seek to reopen what has been so
effectually closed.
AT this writing it is difficult to say exactly
what motives prompt this project, but be
they what they may, the people have spoken,
and their will must be obeyed.
1t must be evident to all from what has
transpired between the Congressional Com
mittee and the Conservative caucus, that any
attempt to effect a compromise with the IN
famous usurpation will prove delus;on and
snare. Those who have partiality for the
deceiving fruit of the Dead Sea may perhaps
continue their efforts but the end will bring
only the ashes and dust of bitter regrets.
Louisiana wants no compromise with thieves
and will have none.
Kellogg Straw Man.
1t must be humiiiating to a man even as
low as Pitt is, to have the contempt of his
own political associates manifested to him
almost hourly. In the House he is no more
regarded as leader in the politics of this
State than his doorkeeper, and the members
have no hesitancy in expressing their opinions
of his craftsmanship. Like the straw dog in
the play, he goes on the stage daily, but
there isn't even faint yelp left in him.
When Hoar and Wheeler first arrived here,
they asked who were the true Republican
leaders in this State and when a number
were mentioned, minus Kellogg they stated
they wanted to meet real leaders, not figure
heads Such is the cruel fate of Door Will
liam.
Aut Caesar, Aut Mini.
The feeling is growing hourly stronger. It
is written in the face of the merchant; it is
furrowing the bronzed cheek of the laborer,
and it is knitting the brows OF the professional
man, and the feeling is that we are on the eve
of most important events to the people of this
country. In an intercourse yesterday with
people of almost every avocation and profess
sion, one burden WAS to every song. Grant
means danger to the peace of the country and
be is feeling his way toward dictatorship.
Men who are not prone to tremble at dim |
uncertainties and borrow trouble from posi- |

Along the Wires.
By this evening it is anticipated some news
will come from Washington which will have
ONE bearing on the future of the Louisiana
ase. The report of the Hoar-Wheeler Com
aittee, it is rumored, will recognize the legal
~ of the Wilt House so far as its organiza-
ion was concerned, and also the illegalty of
the action of the Returning Board, but
eyond this nothing is even limited at
1t seems pretty well settled, according to
ome, that barring Grants new role of Caesar
