The report was received and adopted, anG
she resolution embodied in it was put through
end sent to Antoines Wing for concurrence
and yesterday Antoine's Wing concurred.
Now the question-what are they going to dc
about it, suggests itself?
What difference will it make? Who cares
whether the Crowd ratiies the action or not:
Aud what has the Crowd to do with the mat
ster, anyhow?
Drayton was suspended by an order, OF
course, as punishment for contempt in re-
FL sing to obey the DEGREES of the court. The
court instructed him to make out copies OF
the election returns from certain polls in the
parish and he refused. The result, as above
stated, was his suspension. .....
If the refusal OF the crowd to ratify is in
wsended rs 1ebuke, it is all right 1t does not
amount to anything, as no one cares anything
about what they may think OF it; but the indi-
cations are that it was intended for something
more. They certainly have no right to pass
upon the decision of court. They would
have no right if they were what they claim to
sse-the Legislature Of the State-and yet
they have presumed to do it. .....
They would no doubt assume the authority
10 reverse the decision if it were policy so to
do, and the desired result could not be ar
rived at in another and an easier way Kel-
logg has hand in this business. He brought
the matter to the attention of the Crowd,
:aad as a probable answer to the question,
What are they going to do about it % it is
suggested, that taking the action Of the
Crowd as warrant, Kellogg will reinstate
Dray'on. 1t remains to be seen whether or
E7ot he will have sufficient respect for the de-
ecision of the court to first remove the clerk
appointed by the court.
CLEAR CASE OF INTIMIDATION.
That visit Of the Hon. Mr.. Frye, Of the
Congressional Committee, to Hahn's Wing
yesterday, was a clear case Of intimidation Of
the ignorant faithful, and there should GER
calmly be an examination to ascertain if it was
made with malice prepense. or whether it
Scan be attributed to ignorance This thing Of
men who were sent down here for the purpose
.t3f inqulring into charges of intimidation, and
If proven, condemning the acts, going around
on their own hook and frightening the wards
of the nation to that extent that they no
Aonger carry on their vocatons, according to
their inclination, is outrageous, and it is due
10 the country that the action of Mr. FRYE |
should be investigated
The effect of that visit on the members can |
lie appreciated only by those who were pres
tent and saw it,
The gentlemenC) had come in prepared for
the sports of the day, more than usually ami
mated and plenty of fun for themselves and
s5ke spectators was promised, when Mr.. Frye
entered and the jovial spirit fled, actually
scared out of them. Vigers did not have the
courage to make quorum.
The members settled down, sobered by
lear.
They realized that it would never do to go
cutting up with Mr.. Frye present, and that
1t was necessary to behave themselves, as
sumo virtue they had not, and for the nonce
be dignified; and while Mr.. Frye remained
'nen never assembled and for the first time
stheir demeanors resembled that which should
characterize the organization they profess to
be, the House of Representatives Of the State
OF Louisiana.
After stay of about thirty minutes, Messrs
Frye and Moncure arose and as they walked
slowly down the middle aisle towards the door
shey were followed by an ANXIOUS gaze, put
as they meyed on the members revived, and
che jovial spirit came stealing back. By the
time the door was reached it was in full pos I
session. and as the two gentlemen disappeared I
It manifested itself in the shouts of twenty
two members (by COUNTY frantically endeavor- 8
ing to down twenty-five other members. |
We N charitable enough to believe that {
Mr.. Frye did not intend any harm, and we !
suggest an investigation merely to place the j
matter in its right light; but we beseech the S
gentleman not to come again; for the sake of
the members and the lobby to stay away, for |
his presence will always interfere with the I
of the day. G
TRUTHFUL DUBUCLET.
The curious have for some time past been t
