CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS. Speaker II.
| IA, Wilt has issued call for the mem
beers Of the Conservative Caucus to as
semble ia New Orleans April 70, two
days before the opening Of the extra
session Of the Legislature. It is con
sidered highly important that every
Conservative Representative and SEN
ator be present at that meeting Of the
Caucus, and we trust that the repre-
sentatives from Calcasieu and Cameron
parishes viii not fail to attend il.
Governor Kellogg has issued a
proclamation, calling an extra session
Of the Legislature, for ten days, com.
mencing April IA, at noon The OBJ
iects for which the extra session is
called win be found in the proclaim
ton, which we publish in this issue.
The details Of the adjustment (what
. beautiful substitute for the word
compromise, are kept profound
secret, and there win probably be no
general knowledge Of who is counted
Id and who Is counted ont until the
first day 81 the extra session. 1t is not
improbable chat the first days Of tho
session win be somewhat stormy.
The Radical Senate, with radical
h
servility 10 its master, adopted, by 4
vote 81 33 u 23, resolution approving
Of Grants course IN Louisiana. SO
much the better for the Democratic
party next year. The lines Of distinc-
ton between the two parties can not be
drawn too strongly. The Republican
party Is already known as the party Of
the sword and Of the empire the Dem
ooratic party Is, aud always has been,
known az the party Of the constitution.
Il may be considered settled that the
Civil Rights bill does not apply to bar
rooms and barber shops. The law is
plain, and rs provisions win not be ex-
tended By implication. II refers ex-
clusiyely TO inns, public conveyances
on land Of water, theaters and other
places 81 public amusement.
The best legal opinion Is that neither
the President. Mr.. Justice Bradley, 81
fhe Supreme Court nor Circuit Judge
Wood, can designate a successor To
Judge Durell rs District Judge for
Louisiana. The bench must remain
vacant until Congress meets,
Vice President Wilson expected to
visit New Orleans n few days.
