JACKSON AND SHERIDAN.-When Gen
eral Jacksoniassumed the defense of New
Orleans he put the city under martial law.
Nor did he relax any of IFS severity after
his great victory over the British. He re-
ceived the news of treaty of peace be-
tween the two countries, but for prudential
reasons continued the exercise of martial
law. He arrested private citizen and
held him under military authority. Judge
Hall issued write of habeas corpus, but
Jackson not only refused to recognize it,
but sent guard of soldiers to escort the
Judge outside the city limits. 4 few days
after civil authority was restored Judge
Hal! returned, and summoned General
Jackson before him TO show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt, &c.
First, in his arrest of private citizen Sc
cond, in his refusal TO recognize the writ
issued third, in his unlawful expulsion of
the Judge. Jackson claimed that all his
acts were founded on public necessity.
His defense was not sufficient for the Judge,
who was trying his own case. He was
fined 81, 600, which he promptly paid out
of his own pocket. Years after the pay
ment, the fine was remitted by Congress
on the ground that General Jackson acted
in the interest Of the public good and for
the pubic safety. The Democrats, who
now denounce General Sheridan for doing
less than Jackson did. should remember
that every stone cast at him is one thrown
at the hero of Democracy. Sheridan, like
Jackson, has the firmness 10 do his duty,
and the enemies of law and order in Loui-
siana would do well to recognize trait in
his character before they feel its hand
The Republic.

THE SENATORIAL EXCITEMENT-BATES
WITHDRAWN AND BROWN PUT UP.
NASHVILLE, January 25-The Houses
met lii convention at noon. The galleries
and lobby were crowded and the excite,
ment was intense among the friends of the
different candidates. Speaker Haine, of
the Senate, on taking the chair and calling
the convention to order announced that
during the ballotings of the convention to-
day, the strictest order and deCorum in the
gallaries and lobby must be observed that
upon the slightest disturbance by applause
or other demonstration, the convention
would either rise or cease balloting until
such measures as would protect its dignity
could be adopted and put in force, and that
if order could not be obtained here the con-
vention would move to some other city in
the State where order was more respected.
The convention then proceeded to take the
forty-ninth ballot Johnson 42, Bates AZ,
Ewing Z, scattering 2; necessary to n
choice 40. Fiftieth and fifty-first ballots
resulted: Johnson A, Bates AZ, Ewing &,

THE CONGRESSIONAL INvEsTIGATIoy

THE CONGRESSIONAL 1NVESTIGATION.
NEW ORLEANS, January 25.-The Con-
gressional Committee is still investigating
the action Of the Returning Boards. The
evidence to-day was about the same as that
given before the subcommittee. Whit
taker, Arroyo, and others were examined,
and the Secretary of State was required to
furnish tho papers that were before the Re-
turn Board. The McEnryites have again
proposed to submit the 1872 election to the
arbitration of the Congressional Commit
tee.
Sneaker Hahn does not believe the Re-
publicans, if they had the power, would
submit TO the plan proposed by the caucus
resolution of the Conservatives, that the
Congressional Committee now in New Or
leans take the returns and declare who
we're elected to the Legislature,

In searching for the causes which have
led to the scenes of iawlessness and violence
in Louisiana and other Southern States,
the Pittsburgh CommeTcaal says The
real cause has not yet been touched upon.
1t is to be found in the aid and comfort
given TO the Ku-Klux and White Leagues
by the Northern Democracy. The election
Of Allen in Ohio, in 1873, and the New
Hampshire and Connecticut elections OF
last spring, resulting in the choice of Eaton
as United States Senator from Connecticut,
gave the Southern mobocrats their most
substantial encouragement. As soon as
the Ku- -Klux saw that there was a chance
of the Democrats returning to power again,
they began to crawl from their holes and
| to hold up their heads boldly; and the De
mocratic successes in October, 1874, still
| further encouraged and emboldencd them.
They threw off all disguise when they found
| their natural allies coming once more TO the
! front and if there had been no Demo-
cratic success at the elections in 1874, there
would have been no outrages in Louisiana
to mourn over or put down. Those Re-
pubicans, therefore, who through caprice
and petuance, voted the Democratic ticket
at the last election, may credit themselves
with having contributed thereby to the re-
bellious attitude of the South at this
moment. The only sure cure for the
| Louisiana troubles is to be found in the
return of the North TO its Republicanism.
| A Republican victory in New Hampshire
and Connecticut at the ensuing elections
will do more than the army can to restore
peace 10 the South and Democratic VIC
tory, there, will only intensity the present
trouble.
The reason for all this is not hard TO
find. The Democrats of the South,
Judging the present by the past, regard the
Northern Democracy as allies who will
stand by them in whatever they do; and,
satisfied that they may rely upon this CO.
operation, their policy is to establish
reign of terror throughout the South which
will keep the Republicans there from
voting, and so get into possession OF the
government ofth Southern States. Once
in power, they feel perfectly able to man.
tain their ascendancy by reducing the
blacks to Peonage and cutting them of
from their rights and privileges, and if the
Democrats can hold on to the States they
now have in the North, the election of
Democratic President ir 1876 would be easy
Hence the struggle to get possession OF
Louisiana, and hence, also, the outbreaks
: in Alabama and Mississippi. II is all part
of a general Democratic scheme to cap,
ture control of the General Govern
ment and the essential part of the scheme
is that the Democrats should hold on 10 the
Northern States, already partly IN theil
possession. A Republican reaction viii
knock this scheme into fragments and the
best way to snstain the President in hi:
effect 10 sustain the laws is TO strengthen
his hand with Republican victories. The
White Leaguers will yield TO such results
quicker than to any other.

The Republicans of Connecticut, like
their brethren in New Hampshire, have
spoken out boldly, faithfully and emphati-
cally, in their States Convention, in sup
port of the President in his Louisiana po-
Icy, and their action is confirmation of
what we have all along contended for, viz !:
that when the Republicans Of the country
could find opportunity to speak, they would
be uninhucnced by the cowardly example
set them by the leaders Of public sentiment
in New York.
Connecticut is little more, territorially,
than an appendage Of New York. The
two are intimately connected, socially and
commercially, and the color of Connecticut
politics Is almost insensibly tinged by this
close contact. But in this instance the
staid old Commonwealth has proved her
self greater than her metropolitan asso-
ciates.

THE annual message Of the Democratic
Governor of Georgia, Gov. Brown, calls to
our attention a very remarkable fact, and
one that will be apt TO somewhat sur
prise the general public. BY national law
each State receives an annual appropria-
ton for arms. Gov. Brown states that
Georgia has lately received this appropria.
ton FOR the four years ho: the peOple Of that
State rere i1t rebellion, and we presume the
other rebel States have been treated with
equal iberality. The Governor states fur
ther that with that national appropriation
to Georgia, AZ military companies Of that
State have been armed with the latest im-
proved breech-loaders, one artillery COM
pany supplied with five Napoleon guns, and
one cavalry company completely equipped.
With such unprecedented liberality TO-
wards the rebel States since the rebellion,
northern sympajhizers continue to howl
of tyrannicsl treatment towards the South
by the National Government. 1t will be
well perhaps If the Government were not
quite as magnanimous in PLACING arms in
the hands of men who will be too ready TO
use them in unlawful violence.
RICHARD e. IRWIN, who appears held
the purse in jobbing she subsidy through
Congress for the Pacific Mail Company,
stated to the investigating committee where
he placed the amount of money spent 1t np-
pears now that but one member Of Congress
received any money, and tina. was Schu-
maker, Democrat, from Brooklyn. New
York, who was paid the sum Of 100000
The rest was paid 10 borers and to the IN
depcadeat press, that pure and iacorruptible
portion ofnewspaperdom that is shouting
so loudly against the Generalization of the
times and is constantly up for sale TO the
highest bidder. Schumaker pretends to
have entirely forgotten what he done with
the money he received.
