CONSERVATIVES INTERVIEW THE PRESIDENT.
Messrs. Zacharie, Burke and Leonard, repre-
senting the Conservative party of Louisiana,
had an interview with the President the other
day. Mr.. Burke proposed to read his amend
ment to the Wheeler proposition, but the
President informed him that he could not be a
party to any agreement, as his duty was to
execute the law, ami not enter into any negotia-
ton or compromise ; but he would be rejoiced
if the opposing parties in Louisiana could
come to some understanding by which the pres
ent contentious in that State could be settled.
He spoke in the highest terms of Representa-
tive Wheeler in the character of compromiser,
and said some mistakes had been made but
if he had been Governor of Louiriana at the
time Of the September troubles, he would have
turned the disturbers of the peace over to the
courts instead of consulting with them. The
President informed the Louisiana committee
that he would consult with the other parties to
the contest in Louisiana, and said no man
would rejoice more than himself if an arrange
ment could be made by which conflicting views
could be reconciled, and the peace and pros
perity of Louisiana secured. The committee
then called on Mr. Wheeler, who promptly re-
jected the proposed amendment to the CON-
promise.

MURDER As POWER IN POLITICS.

Murders of passion affect the peace,
the well-ordering of society; but they
do not touch the source of its life Com
binations for robbery and plumber, with
the design to commit murder as an in
cident or as means, are more danger
Gus to the public peace, and the GRIM
mails are justly considered the enemies
of the human race but even they do
not attempt, through their criminal acts,
the destruction of the state itself. It is
the essence of a republican government
that the citizens shall have entire free
dom of thought and action in political
affairs. The least restraint upon the
humblest citizen as upon the highest is an
offense to the body-politic. What then
shall be said of an order, and how shall
it be characterized, that by intimidation,
manning, stealthy murder, and open as
sassination seeks to obtain power for a
class Of an order that seeks through
these means to change the character of
the government by corrupting it at its
source9 Thus with them the chiefest of
personal and social crimes are also the
chiefest of political crimes.
AS murder for the destruction of the
state is a higher, grosser crime than
murder which is the result of personal
passion and as organizations which
propose murder..as means of changing,
overthrowing, or corrupting the govern
ment at its source are fouler than those

In 1849 Mr.. James +. Stuart, of New
buryport, Mass, went to San Francisco,
Cal, and embarked in business, and was
very successful till the great fire of 1852,
when he lost nearly everything. He
came East, called meeting of his cred
itors, stated his case and proposed his
discharge. The creditors were pleased
with his appearance, and not only gave
him full discharge, but furnished him
with a new stock of goods. In less than
six months he was able to pay off all his
old and his new Indebtedness. In 1853
he entered into land speculation which
absorbed all his business capital and
crippled his resources. He made full
statement to his creditors, and promised
if he was ever successful he would pay
up all. That time has arrived, and last
week he RENTED the principal and in
terest of his Indebtedness in gold. Such
cases are rare, if this one is not even un-
paralleled.

A LECTURER ON natural history was
called upon, the other day, to pay for a
live rabbit he had in basket in rail-
way carriage, and which the ticket col
lector said would be charged the same as
a dog. The lecturer vainly explained
that he was going to use the rabbit in
illustration of lecture he was about to
give in provincial town and indig-
nantly taking small live tortoise from
his pocket, said, You'll be telling me
next that this is dog and that must
pay for it also." The ticket taker went
for superior orders, and on his return
delivered this lecture in natural history !:
Seats is dogs, and rabbits is dogs; but
a tortoise is a hinsect." The professor
had to pay for the rabbit.

SCHEDULE.
THE LEGIsLATURE.
\ Brief Synopsis of It's Work.

The Both General Assembly adjourned
last Wednesday, after sitting seventy
five days. The members of that body
were undoubtedly possessed of more
than average ability, and they did, or
attempted, an immense amount OF work.
The greatest error, in our opinion, COM
mitted during the term was the inOrdi-
nate efforts made TO pass laws on almost
every subject beneath the sun. They
clogged the work, but the bills that did
pass the double ordeal and run the veto
gauntlet embrace measures of great i'm
pOrtance. During the session there were
562 bills introduced in the House, and
$50 in the Senate, making S5l. Out Of
these 143 became laws. In addition,
there were II resolutions adopted, and
an innumerable number rejected. Siren
nous efforts mere made to reduce the
rate of taxation, but it yet remains ut 40
cents. Similar efforts were made to
deprive the Comptroller Of the power to
borrow money on the credit of the State,
but this failed. Several bills passed in
creasing the revenue of the State, such
as the dog law, which it is thought will
bring in $4,000 annually; the railroad
tax bill, $l25, 900; the jury bill, 100000 /;
the bill taxing losing litigants with the
costs, S175,0Oc; the bill abolishing the
Office of Tax Collectors, 100000; re-
ducing members of the Quarterly Courts
$4,000; providing county work-houses,
100000; regulating revenues received
by Clerks and Justices, $4,000. These
annual savings alone amount to 81 $780,
600. The repeating of the act for erect
ing Insane Asylums in East and West
Tennessee will save about 100000. OF
course, as some of these leaks were
stopped others were opened, but it is
certainly true that our finances are in as
good condition as when the Legislature
met.
On the whole, the 39th General As
sem bly, has done some good work, and
some Infamous work. Our finances suf-
fered considerably, or rather our credit,
by the efforts made by some to bring
Tennessee into disrepute abroad. This
failed, but it was not their fault. There
never was such large body of men
but that some of them were those kind
of men who can be fitly described by no
other name than Smart Alecks."
These ruled this body for n while, and
these "Smart Alexis" were they who
elected Andrew johnson as the misrep-
resentative of Tennessee in the United
States Senate. This disgrace is indelli-
Bile, and placed in the balance against
other legislation, the conclusion is inev-
liable that Tennessee would haYe been
better off If the Both General Assembly
had never convened.

An Indian Story.

A gentleman OF 81. Paul, who is Just
back from trip up the river, gives the
particulars OF a rather extraordinary
case OF experience in the last awful
blizzard. An Indian and his squaw
were caught out in the storm while out
journeying from Fort Randall TO the
Fort Thompson Agency, and becoming
bewildered, took refuge in a small
ravine. They wrapped their blankets
about them and sat down under the
bank.
Tie snow soon covered them, but the
Indian kept hole through the rapidly
forming drift with his gun, which he
would poke up occasionally. They re-
manned there all night, and the drift
became so high in the meantime that he
was obliged 10 splice the ramrod to the
end of his rifle in order to reach the ton
and keep up ventilation. During their
imprisonment the squaw gave birth to
a child, and it was ehristened "Snow
Drift.n
