THE EIGHTH OF JANUARY.

This is the anniversary OF the victory
chieved over the invading army of England
" the patriots of the South on the plains Of
halmette. The victory of 1916 was over
b enemy to whom we now bear very differ
ht feelings and relations than were hereto
IRE born-an enemy whose bold, manly and
hivalric warfare we have SO often been
ught to appreciate as that of brave and
enereus foe.
The return Of this anniversary will revive
e glories of that eventful day. The cam
ign of 1915 peculiarly illustrated the fidelity
ID soldierly qualities of our people in the
aintenance Of rights and principles now haz-
ded by the march of Capitalization and des-
tic power. In our recollection Of the Eighth
January let us remember that it is with no
ide and exultation in the triumph Of our
ms over the British, with no unkindly rem
tscence of them, but with conscious sense
valor and resolution to maintain our soil
d our honor against all invaders, that we re-
ll the great historic event.

GRAND LARCENY.

| The members of the Congressional Inves
tlgating Committee heard with unconcealet
surprise of the barricading of the State-House
its occupancy by the combined forces of tn,
State and Federal Government, and regarded q.
utterly preposterous the assertion that thu
people were excluded therefrom. Mr.. Pot
ter, IN order to assure himself that such wal
actually the case, repaired to the Capitol or
the morning Of the 4th of January, and
essayed to enter, but was straightway con
fronted by policeman, who proffered the in
formation that no one could pass swithout
first procuring the permission OF certain
official within
Some one enlightened the devoted peeler
to the effect that he had denied admission to
a veritable Congressman, whereupon the
doughty sentinel gave way in the most obse-
quious manner, informing the applicant that
no further obstacle to an inspection of the
premises would be placed in his way. MIR.
Potter en- divining that access to the build
ing was only allowed him by reason Of the
privileges pertaining to his position, declined
to exercise them and withdrew.
This episode in the experience of the gen.
tleman named will doubtless have its proper
weight in directing the opinions of the COM
mittee as to the condition of things under
the Kellogg regime. This guard is still main
tanned, and no one not an established Repub-
lican can enter the State Capitol unless per-
mission is granted him by some individual to
whom has been specially delegated the exer-
else of such authority.
Yesterday MIR. Max Cousin, the member
elected to the House from the parish of St.
Tammany, but who was not returned by the
Returning Board, with Messrs. G. L. Hall,
Chss. Kummell, and Chas. Byrne, all elected
and duly returned as Representatives, applied
for admission to the State-House, and met at
the hands of a policeman a peremptory re-
fusal
It was graciously determined, after consid-
cradle delay, to admit MIR. Cousin, who
pleaded important business with the Secre-
ary of State, but the other gentlemen were
excluded utterly, while Republicans we're
passing to and fro ad libitum.
The authority upon which Kellogg has as
'umed to appropriate to himself and friends
exclusively the State-House, the prop
'rty of the people, is derived wholly from
FEDERAL sources, and is found present in
he person of Gen. De Trobriand and his /!
'ayonets.
How long this authority is to remain with |
lin is a question now before the country;
nd, from the present outlook, it is one that |
Will be soon forced to an issue.

ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE ON SHERIDAN-PRC
TEST OF CITIZENS.

LITTLE Rock, Jan. TN the House to-day
the following resolution was introduced and
referred to special committee:
RESOLVED, That we do earnestly protest, in
| the name of the sovereign people of the State
of Arkansas, against this unauthorized mill
tary interference in the local affairs of State
duly acknowledged to be and composing part
| Of this American Union, and we here and
now appeal to the candid judgment of the
people of these United States to know
| whether or not the Southern States are mere
provinces or Independent States within and
composing part Of this Union, with the
constitutional right to govern in their own
local affairs.
The following was published to-day:
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
Having seen dispatch Of Gen. Sheridan s
to the Secretary OF War, in which he speaks
Of terrorism as existing in the State of Arkan-
sas, we feel it to be our duty in behalf of
the religious community with which we are
connected, to say to the world at large that
there is no such thing as terrorism existing
in this State, and no repression of public
opinion OF private action except that imposed
by an ordinary code Of laws. and that since
the last of May of the past year the country
has been profoundly quiet
There have been no prosecutions political
or otherwise, and, as far as we have been able
to learn, no White Lacquer or any other SINH
lar associatonsl As Gen. Sheridan has not
been in Arkansas and could only have formed
an opinion by hearsay, this fact may account
for an opinion of the existence of imaginary
evils for which he proposes a remedy which
Of itself would extinguish all law, and procure
condition OF affairs which would be terror
ism, indeed.

THE TERM "HUssAR. The word is de-
rived from the Hungarian "husz," meaning
twenty" The first hussars made their ap-
pearance in Hungary in the seventeenth CEN
fury, and were drawn by lot from every twen-
tieth landholder. They were then wild, half
savage fellows, in the peculiar Hungarian
national dress, armed with saber and pistol,
and riding wiry little horses. They used very
short st1rrups. The present Austrian hussars
are similarly dressed and all Hungarians.
They are beautiful riders. One curious part
Of their dress, the pelisse or hanging jacket
has romantic legend attached to it. The
story runs that an Austrian camp was once
surprised by the enemy, and that the hussars
turned out and went into action in such haste
that they had not time to put on their jackets,
and so hung them around their necks anyhow.
The legend further relates that they discom-
flied the enemy by their charge, gained great
victory, and that the Emperor Of Austria gave
the hussars permission, ever after, to wear
their jackets over their left shoulders, to COM
memorate the battle.

Looking at the Louisiana outrage of Mon
day, perpetrated by Phil Sheridan and his
myrmidons, we are not at all surprised at the
recent order of the Emperor of Russia for
bidding his Mennonite subjects to leave his
pleasant and paternal rule tor the country
where the people are SO happy under "the
best government on the planetr' There is
no very great difference between Siberia and
the South, save that which God made in the
climate. One is cold and frigid, the other

The removal of Chancellor Peyton, Of Mis-
sissippi, is attributed to petty spirit of re-
venge on the part of Gov. Ames. The ven
cradle Chancellor rendered decision last
summer that was exceedingly distasteful to
the Gubernatorial palate, and the royal Adel-
bert took the first occasion that offered to
gather him in. Never mind; the day of po-
itical funerals in that State is only Just
begun. and it will be a fearful epidemic before
the thing is over.

INDIANA LEGISLATURES.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. THE Legis.
lature met to-day. The Senate organized by
a combination of Republicans and Independ-
ents. Of the principal officers, two Repub-
icans and one Independent were chosen. In
the House Hon. David Lurpie, Democrat, was
elected Speaker by strict party vote. The
Independents have only twelve votes on Joint
ballot, thus giving the Democrats a clea1
maj ority Of eight in Joint convention.

Connecticut is agitated in regard to the
Governorship. The present incumbent, Mr..
Ingersoll, does not want to be reelected, and
those who are anxious to relieve him of his
burdens are nervous on account Of party cross
currents. April is not far off, and the noni-
nations, which must precede the election, are
still nearer. The vote is always close in Con-
necticut, and local issues must be settled
before the whole State can divide on two can
didates

A MEMORIAL FROM OUR MERCHANTS.

The following memorial was extensively
circulated yesterday, and more than eight
| thousand signatures of merchants not at.
tached to those organizations which have
| already taken action in the matter, obtained.
Now all the various classes of our citizens
have given an expression of opinion of Sheri-
dams SANDER and it rests with Congress to give
the remedy:
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
The undersigned, merchants of the city of
New Orleans, not members of the Cotton
Exchange, the Chamber of Commerce or the
Merchants Exchange, DESTROYS of adding
their testimony and making their earnest
protest against the action of Gen. p Fl.
Sheridan in misrepresenting the citizens of
| this city and State, do most positively and
emphatically deoy that there is one word of
truth in his dispatch to Hon. w. W. Belknap,
Secretary Of War, under date of January 4.
And they pronounce said dispatch, which
asserts 'that the lives Of citizens have become
jeopardized, and that such is the defiance to
the laws that murder seems to be looked upon
by the community here with immunity, etc."
as a base calumny, and absolutely false from
beginning to end, and they do most solemnly
avOw that the assertions contained in said
dlspatch are gross and fagrant mlsrepresenta-
tons of the true feelings Of peaceful,
tolerant, long-sutfering and law-abiding peo-
pie.
And with this protest against the unwar-
ranted attemptto injure US in the estimation
OF distant communities, and hinder us in the
peaceful pursuance of our business, we appeal
to the sense of justice, dear to the citizens of
the United States and to our feilow-merchanfs
throughout the land to unite with us in sweep
ing this foul stain from the honor of high
minded and magnanimous people.

THE SITUATION IN NEW ORLEANS

In the course Of an article under the above
heading, the New York Herald, of the 4tl
inst, says:
There is one bright ray in the darkness and
gloom which overhangs the people Of New
Orleans. It is their promise to be guilty Of
| no act Of violence against the United States.
When we consider the wrongs they suffered
and the outrages which are still impending
over them, We see in this q resolution that is
more than patriotic-it is heroic. Unfor-
tunately, the very conflict they wish to avoid
may become inevitable, if there is any con-
tiict at all. A riot necessarily means inter
ference, and interference can only result in
prolonging the anarchy and usurpation which
have long been almost uncomfortable.
Another outbreak would only add to the
complications which have already done so
much to retard justice to Louisiana. Con-
gress has been slow to free the State from the
Kellogg usurpation, and it would be slower
still to accord justice to an oppressed people
if even for day they took the reins into their
own hands by force. Besides the bloodshed
and misery and disgrace which would inevita-
bly, follow resort to arms, at this time, the
action that is most needed for the peace and
well-being of the State would be delayed for
another year. The remedy, which the pres
ent Congress cannot deny with any decent
regard for the universal sentiment of the
country would then be withheld upon the
plea that the people Of Louisiana are unruly
and disloyal and cannot be trusted with
power.
And thereby even the Democratic Congress
which is to assemble a year hence would be
trammelled in its action, especially if the
Executive should feel aggrieved at the course
pursued by the White League leaders in this
crisis. In whatever aspect we regard it. an
outbreak now could only be productive of
evil consequences. 1t would bring evils of its
own even within the narrowest sphere of it's
operations. It would not free the State Or
secure to the people Of Louisiana one right
they do not now possess. AS we said before,
it would only prolong their misery, and in
some sense it would lose them the universal
sympathy they now receive. Everything
would be lost and nothing gained.
Under these circumstances it is better for
them to bear the ills they have than fly to
others that they know not Of; for, whether
the Radicals gain their point in the organiza-
ton Of the Legislatures; whether they are
practically DISTINGUISHED and new fraud i'm
posed upon them in addition to the old;
whether the present Congress neglects or re-
fuses to do them justice; still the day of their
deliverance is near at hand, and they can
count to the hour almost when it will come.
Under the worst conceivable circumstances
they have only to await the assembling of the
Forty Fourth Congress, and the certainty of
their relief then will greatly mitigate their
condition ia the meantime if they are able to
restrain themselves now. This is considera-
ton which ought not to be overlooked or for
gotten in their counsels, and we hope it will
receive its due weight in their deliberations.

CLERKS BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.

Last evening this association held their
annual installation of officers Our reporter
was ushered into suit of apartments which
be-speak much taste, not only on the part Of the
CLERKS Benevolent" but also of the Young
Mems Benevolent Association. They have
also reading-room attached, where young
men who have not the pleasures of home can
pass their evenings pleasantly. The follow
ing officers were installed to serve during the
coming year:
j. G. Smith, President z. A. Louis, Vice
President; A. Lasalle, Treasurer; Geo. W.
Emanuel, Rec. Secretary; Fl. Durel, Jr., Fin.
Secretary.
Board of Directors F. A. Thiel, Chas.
Schnell. A. B. Dumel, r. NJ. Hailes, JOS
Garcia, A. H. G. Odenwald, C. Oberle, p
Fisne, Jr.
After the installation, the party adjourned
to an adjoining room where a delightful col
lation was spread, and where all quaffed in
foaming beakers to the prosperity of the asso-
citation.
There were in attendance by invitation the
Philobethean Association, represented by Mr..
Claude Florence; the New Histrionics, by Mr..
Dalsheimer. 1t was late hour before the
party broke up.
The death Of MI. James Cunnane, who was
buried from the residence of his uncle, Peter
Moran, Esq, Wednesday afternoon, will cast
a gloom over large portion of our CON mu-
nifty. MIR. Cunnane, at the time of his death,
was but twenty-six years of age, yet, by his
affability, courtesy, tact and energy-qualities
which always insensibly win golden opinions
had endeared himself to many. He had
resided here for the past seven years, and
until about four months ago was employed
by Wallace Il Co., where his ability and
business sagacity were fully recognized. Re-
Gently he had established grocery at the
corner of Magazine and jackson streets, and
was rapidly building the foundation for
future success and prosperity. His sickness
was borne uncomplainingly and with Chris
tan fortitude, and, surrounded by the minis
trations of devoted friends, he passed calmly
into the sleep which has no awakening.

There was a lite General,
No bigger than my thumb,
He travelled in pint-pot.
And carried a little drum.
He had some little garters
To garter up his hose,
And little pocket handkerchief
To wipe his little nose.
