proceed with its organization accord
ing to law. This request was reason
able, and in accordance with law
Remembering, wildly, the terrible
massacre that took place in this city
on the assembling of the Constitu-
tional Convention in 1866, at Nc
chanics' Institute, and believing that
the lives of members of the Legisla-
turc were, or would be, endangered
in ease an organization under the
law was attempted, the posse was
furnished, with the request that care
should be taken that no member of
the Legislature returned by the Re
turning Board should be elected from
the floor. This military posse per-
formed its duty under directions from
the Governor of the State, and re-
moved from the floor Of the House
those persons who had been illegally
seated, and who had no legal right
to be there, whereupon the Demo
Gratis rose and left the House, and
the remaining members proceeded to
effect an organization vnder the
State laws. In all the turmoil, in
which bloodshed was imminent, the
military posse behaved with great
discretion. When Wilt, the usurp-
ing Speaker of the House, called for
troops to prevent bloodshed, they
were given him. When the Govern
or of the State called for posse for
the same purpose, and to enforce the
law, it was furnished also. Had this
not been done, it is my firm belief
that scenes of bloodshed would have
cnsued.

JUDGE D1BBLE, 4 prominent Re-
publican of New Orleans, writes to
Washington regarding the recent
Congressional investigation in Louis
lana:
As counsel for the Republicans be-
fore the subcommittee, l ought to
state that we were not allowed by
the committee to introduce our evil
dence of intimidation and violence
upon which the justification of the
action of the Returning Boards rests.
In my estimation, the examination of
the committee was superficial, and
not calculated to disclose the true
state of affairs in Louisiana. The
report OF the majority Of the sub
committee must necessarily be de-
fective.

The Union Gazette publishes a
letter from Hon. H. O. Pratt in which
he says that during the month Of DC.
tobcr last H. C. VanLeuven, dcpos.
ed mail agent, sent six dispatches to
the Postmaster General urging his
reinstatement to Office, all Of which
were signed with NJ. Pratt's name,
but without his knowledge or consent.
This VanLeuven is fraud of the
first water, and it has always been a
matter of surprise to us how the Iowa
delegation in Congress could have
been foolish enough to recommend
him for SO important position as
mail agent, when he is totally unified
to fill amy place. - Waterloo Re
porter.
The Reporters estimate of Van
Leuven is just in every particular,
and accords with what the BULLETIN
said of him when he received the ap-
pointment. He is compound of
sycophancy and brass, and we opine
that the secret of his success with
the Iowa members of Congress is due
very much to systematic misrepresen-
tation and a wearying importantly
without deccncy or limitation. The
explanation is not complimentary to
the insight or firmness Of our delega.
ton, but We think it very near the
right one.

In view eff the intended outrages
by the Returning Board, it will be
we'll for every honest man to bear in
mind that, like England, louisiana

If the people of Louisiana are SO
anxious that every man shall do his
duty, it occurs to us that they should
begin by raising more sugar and less

Thanks to General Sheridan the
Louisiana people are cultlvating con-
siderab!y less of the sulphurous pro-
duct. If the same wholesome in
fluences shall prevail for some time
an increase of the saccharrine crop
may be reasonably expected.

Now comes the Conservative in
the wake of the Bourbon press and
offers its feeble contribution to the
howl going up over the late events
in Louisiana. 1t must have its dig at
the.Grant administration, and, parrot
like, repeat the cry of Federal bay
onets" "despotism." &c 1t says:
''To carry out the programme Fed
eral bayoncts were called intorequisi-
ton and they bristled in the legisla-
tive halls Of that stricken State and
the Legislature elected by the people
was dispersed"
The Conservative fails to explain,
however, that the Democrats in the
Louisiana Legislature were the first,
bv unanimous vote to call in these
same Federal bayonets to repel OBJ
noxious and unlawful intruders, and
that all the Republicans did was to
follow their example. The statement
that "the Legislature elected by the
people was dispersed" by the military
is false. No person who had right
there was disturbed in the least
Five men without credentials, and
with no more right to take seats in the
Legislature than in the U. S. Senate,
were removed as disturters Of the
peace, on request Of the majority OF
the House. The troops, in both eases,
acted as police to eject intruders; and
the fact that the Democrats first ap'
pealed to their aid, should make the
Conservative cautious, even though
its late return to the Bourbon party
may seem to require an extraordinary
exhibition of zeal in the cause of the
White Leagues.

Ex.Auditor Russell.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, writing from Des Moines,
under date of the Sd, makes the fol-
lowing appreciative mention Of Hon
est John Russell, the man whom the
Republican party of Iowa has al
ways delighted to honor, and whom
it will not consent to spare from the
public service long.
Estate Auditor Russell will return
to his farm on Tuesday, after four
years. service, and will surrender the
portfolio of the most important State
Office as poor in purse as when he
took it, but with the conscious assur-
ance that he has done his duty. He
has managed the finances of the State
with scrupulous care, and we'll earned
the appellation Of Honest John Rus
sell. He has paid into the State
Treasury, at fees of his office, during
his four years service, $4,000
thrice exceeding the amount of any
predecessor, and three times more
than the entire expenses of his Office,
including salary and clerk hire"

The report that IN the examination
of one of the witnesses in the Pacific
Mail investigation, Mr.. Dawes, one
of the committee, suddenly and sus-
piciou.ly retreated from a certain line
of investigation upon receiving a

turns out to be pure canard. The
reporters who originated it have been
compelled to publicly retract it

dent press are deprived ola sweet

The simulated indignation Of the
sympathisers of the White League in
New Orleans over Gen. Sheridan's
"banditti" dispatch is not likely to
bring them much comfort. Gen.
Sheridan is now preparing a list of
over 5000 persons who have been
murdered in Louisiana since 1868,
most of them on account of political
opinions. He. shows how courts have
been overawed, criminals gone UNI
punished, and Republicans driven
from home by the White League.
His object is to break up this avowed
and lawless political organization and
to re-establish the freedom of opinion
and action within the bounds of law,
and in this he should and will have
the countenance of honest men every
where.

Qlle Bnlltti'l,

AN article appeared in our columns
last week, the purpose Of which was
to show that the popular estimate of
Gov. Kellogg's administration of at
fairs in Louisiana, formed from vague
aspersions and innuendoes, was un-
Just; that so far from adding to the
burdens Of the people of Louisiana
and filing his pockets from the steal
ings, Gov. Kellogg's management of
the finances had been careful, judi
cious and honest. Incidentally al
luding to the injustice done him by
the press, we said that his enemies
had assumed that he was not elected,
and therefore that he was an usurper.
Our neighbor of the Conservative,
very carefully emitting to attack the
real points of the article, pounces up
on this suggestion, that Kellogg may
an usurper, and, with grand -four
ish. tells its readers that a committee
of the Senate examined the whole
matter and reported that Kellogg was
not elected. We are not familiar
with the language Of that report, but
we have recollection that it was a
purely technical decision upon the
papers placed before the committee,
and that they also reported their
opinions that majority of the peo-
pie of Louisiana were in favor of
Kellogg's election. If We mistake
not, also, while they declared Kellogg
not elected, they did not declare that
McEnery was elected. But aside
from this report, the Supreme Court
of Louisiana, composed of Judges
opposed to the Republican party, de-
clared, upon full examination of
the facts, that Kellogg was the right
fully elected Governor and therefore
that his claims were not an attempt
of usurpation. So between the courts
and the Senate committee there was
a variance of opinion. Congress re-
fusing to decide which was right,
the President accepted the judgment
of the Supreme Court and recognized
Kellogg as Governor, for which &C
ton he had fully as much, if not more
warrant than for decision the other
way. The situation required that he
should act promptly, and once having
made his decision, the President
would have been remies of his duty if
he had not sustained the government
thus recognized. But all this is for
eign to the purpose of our article,
which was to show that Kellogg had
not abused the power placed i'll his
hands, which issue the Conservative
evades.
