fragrant and fatal disregard of those guaran
tees which are indispensable to free popular
government.
And because we are Republican, and con.
template with profound apprehension the
possibility Of the restoration of the Demo
cratic party to power, we see with the utmost
amazement, incredulity and pain that meas
ures are approved by the Administration
which can have but one result, and that is
the total destruction Of the party that was
called into active and triumphant life by the
aggressions of human slavery and the wrongs
of Kansas.
We trust that the Congress of the United
States will no longer evade its duty; but its
action, whatever it may be, cannot wholly
undo the wrong that has been done, nor
altogether heal the wound which the great
party of liberty, order and equal rights has
received in the house Of its friends. The
report of the Louisiana Committee will, per-
haps, be submitted before this paper is
issued It will be awaited with intense in
terest, and should it be, as we hope it will be,
unanimous, it will unquestionably be ac-
cepted by the country as the best attainable
statement Of the situation in that unhappy
State. Meanwhile there is the remedy that
never fails. There is no need of rhetorical
fury or brute force. Either our whole Ameri-
can system is wrong or the intelligent vote
of the country will peaceably settle this ques-
ton.

INDEPENDENT ORDER B,NAI BIRTH.

The annual session of District Lodge No
7, Independent Order B. mai Birth, commenced
Sunday morning at Odd Fellows Hall.
Delegates were in attendance from Alabama
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
Tennessee. After fully organizing for regular
bushes, President Herman being in the chair,
the meeting adjourned to attend the anniver-
sary celebration of the Jewish Widows and
Orphans Home.
Preceded by Meyers band, and headed by
Mr.. Max Dinkenspiel, chairman Committee
of Arrangements, and Mr.. S. Marx, secretary,
the members in body marched to the Home,
their appearance on the streets eliciting much
praise from those who witnessed the process
sion.
AT 6 O'Clock in the evening another meeting
was held. A motion to admit non-members
to the deliberations of the body excited con-
siderable discussion ; the subject matter was
finally tabled for definite action to-day.
Reports Of committees were read and ADOPT
ed, after which the Grand Lodge adjourned
to meet this morning At 10 o'clock this
morning the Convention was called to order
BY President Herman, large lumber of
delegates being present The Lodge then
vent into secret session.

THAT ENDLESS INVESTIGATION.

We are not at all alarmed by the announce
ment that Messrs Hoar, Frye and Wheeler, Of
the Louisiana Investigation Committee, are
coming this way to go over the same ground
already SO thoroughly explored by their col
leagues Messrs. Foster, Phelps and Potter.
If it be true that those gentlemen have con-
cluded to review the action of their fellow
members, and if they really mean to make a
still more searching and extensive investiga-
ton than the former did, it will take them at
least four weeks to get through the job, SO
that by the time they will have returned to
Washington with their report, there will not
be sufficient time left to the present expiring
Congress to reach their report before the
fourth of March, whatever may be the nature
of that report.
If the visit of the committee is not, as
some persons still persist in believing, one of
those convenient tubs thrown out to the Rad
ical whale hereabout, our impression is that
their whole object is to gain time and smother
up the whole business by a sham invesiga-
tion, which, while it cannot possibly shed any
new llBuJ upon tHe SuDJect, may Stlll De uscu
as plausible excuse for postponing all action
upon it in Congress, before the compulsory
of that body on the 4th of March |
next This, in our judgment, is the only
Rational explanation of the very unnecessary
Southern excursion Of Messrs Hoar, FRYE |
and Wheeler, should their often announced |
departure for this city actually take place.
