MR. BRYANT AT ALBANY.

The World has an extended account of
the visit of William Cullen Bryant to the
Assembly at Albany, whittier he had
Travelled on the siren 9Th of the speech be
made at the Dem ocratic Indignation
meeting in New York. The Senate
Chamber was crowded by persons anxious
to see the old poet, and the occasion re-
minded him of little story which lie
credited to the Greeks. The Connecticut
version is better. A good deacon had the
misfortune to lose child. The child
ceased to live SO soon after it came
into the world that it was a aues-
ton whetheA to have funeral or
bury the tiny thing and say nothing
about it. As the deacon was well to
do in the world, and did not care a
button for the expense, he dec ided to have
a public funeral, and invite his friends.
1t was good time for fune rails, and the
people OF the town Assem- bled from far
and nesr in such numbers as to touch the
feelings Of the father. If his wife had
died the expressions Of sympathy shown
the deacon could not have been greater.
He was filed with emotion and made a
few remarks, in which he managed to
say: friends, this mark Of your aAfec.

TIE OBSTRUCTIVE DEMOCRACY.

1t is great misfortune for the city
that the Republican press and people
are always battling with their Democratic
assailants No approval could be, of
course, expected from our opponentI
any act of good, while everything that
political malice can effect may be con-
stantly apprehended. We should not
overstrain the truth were we to say that
anything which the Republican party
may do for the good Of the State would
be source of secret chagrin for the DEM
ocratic press, which would rather have a
good issue than an act Of public useful
ness. Such is our belief Two years
since the epidemic ragged at Shreveport.
Northern people gave aid; the colored
people nursed the sick and washed the
corpses. Governor Kellogg made from
his own pocket a liberal donation. The

THE LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS,

The House did a very good thing yester
day, though not exactly in the form de
sired by some Of the most intelligent mem
bers of that body. The Committee OF
Elections submitted unanimous repor,
in favor Of the two Republican claimants
OF seats from st. Martin, and the majority
OF the House favored immediate action
upon the report. The minority asked 70,
a little delay to give members time to
examine the evidence upon which the
committee based their report, and urged
reasons in support of their position which,
under ordinary circumstances, would
probably have controlled the final vote.
But the House is in rather anomalous
position. Owing to the absence of the
Democratic members there is but a little
over bare quorum at best, and when
members are nece ssarily absent, in COM
mittee Or otherwise, the work of the ses-
sion comes to a stand still. In like man
ner, when question is pending which
three or four members can not success
fully resist in any other way, resort is
had to the reprehensible practice of run
ming out for the purpose of breaking the
quorum. With fifty-eight members this
will not be SO easy matter as it has been
with only tifty-six. 1t is likely, too, that
Mr.. Charles Montaldo will be admitted
from the third ward of the city, and per-
haps two or three more.
We regret to see that, though late in the
session, some Of the members are disposed
to delay business by flibustering and
dilatory motions. Much of the time is
occupied in discussing points of order
which are really no points at all, and
asking for information upon questions
entirely unimportant The yeas and nays
were demanded twice upon consecutive
motions to adjourn, for the sole purpose
Of consuming valuable time A few calls
OF the House were thrown in apparently
for the purpose of filling up the time,
which the majority seemed to be anxious
to make the most Of The Democrats
will adhere to their determination to hold
out SO long as there is any hope to be de-
rived from Washington dispatches. 1t is
likely that some of them will come in
toward the close of the session for mileage
and per diem, as a few hundred dollars
speak with SO many persua aiding tongues
to entice them to their duty.
1t is needless for us to remind the men,
bers that there are only eighteen days
more in the present term, and though a
good deal may be done in that time, an
immense amount remains to do, and the
first forty-two days have not been occu-
pied to the best advantage. They must
dispatch business more rapidly during
the remainder of the term than they have
heretofore, or the session will be failure
so far as the legitimate purposes for which
it was held is concerned.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16 1875

last year the river laid waste the phnta-
tons, and hundreds were reduced to
starvation. Republican members moved,
and Republican Congress voted large
sum for rations anfsupplies. Has there
been in either case the slightest acknowl-
edgment Of this humane duty? It is true
they neither charged the Republican
party with the pestilence nor the flood. but
many Of the stricken and submerged took
the aid with sullen looks, and within
few short months were as bitter, as intol-
Grant and abusive as before
The Democrats will cooperate with Re-
publicans to build the Texas road. The
Democrats sent to Washington are politi-
clans who 60 to confer with Tammany
about the election of 1876. They know
nothing about the levees, the outlet or the
Texas railroad. If the Republican Con-
gress does anything for either, the Louis
lana public will hear nothing of their
acts. If they fail to aid these works the
failure will be set down to the further
prejudice of the North and of the Re
publican party.
1t is this constant iteration of obloquy
which occupies the Democratic press to
the great injury Of the real interests even
Of our opponents. The levees need re-
pair; Republican representatives are dis
couraged by the unremitted abuse of all
their acts. The Mississippi outlet is OBJ
structed. The whole subject has been
left to St. Louis, because the opposition
in New Orleans will not unite with
the Republicans for anything. The
sole compromise spoken of was for
the sake of expelling the Republican
Governor and Selling the legislative
control of the State. There has been no
compromise permitted by the Democrats
which would unite all the influence of
both parties for the advantage of the State
or city. Rather than accept anything less
than the arbitrary control of the State the
Democrats have abandoned the Legislature
to the control of party Of which they
speak in the most abusive terms. What
then can be expected for New Orleans
either from the federal government or from
State legislation? Nothing more than what
the Republicans may be able to effect I'M
aided, and, indeed, opposed at every step.

Really. really" and the deacon sobbed
audibly, II wish it had been larger

MIR. Bryant applied the Greek version
Of the story modestly to himself. When
he saw around him representatives and
people from every county of his prosper
Gus State, neglecting their duties to do
him honor, he remembered himself as an
insignificant Democratic corpse, and
wished he had been a larger child.

OUR CASE IN CONGRESS.

The dispatches from Washington yester-
day had decidedly encouraging tone. A
large majority Of the Republican men,
bers of Congress are in perfect accord
with the President upon the question of
greatest interest to the South. During
the two weeks that remain of the Forty
third Congress the important measure
known as the bill to regulate the South
will no doubt be enacted into law.
This will, it is believed, have the
effect desired, without compelling
the President to resort to extreme meas
ures. It is the prevailing opinion in
Washington that the power once given
the executive to preserve peace and good
order, there will be no further action by
him necessary. We believe this is correct.
The people Of this State have shown on
many occasions that they have no DISPOSE
ton to resist the national laws, though
some Of the Democratic politicians add to
their declarations to this effect the weak
ening and uncomplimentary qualification,
"because we know it would be hopeless.
The evil disposed might be menaced into
good behavior, perhaps, but the large
majority will find more creditable reasons
for their obedience.

in Brussels, tells how he once found valu-

in cut in the calf of his leg, where he had
made an intentional wound. The apparent
misfortune procured his release from the
mine, and he was made immensely rich by
the sale of the gem, which IS now one Of
