THE LOUISIANA BANDITTI.

According to the Picay,tne of last
Sunday, the Conservative banditti of
the Louisiana Legislature went be-
fore the Outrage Committee ON Satur-
day with q proposition to submit the
whole question Of the validity of their
claim to be duly elected members of
the Louisina Legislature, and of Mr.
Moncure's claim to be duly elected
State Treasurer, to the final decision
of the Committee, pledging themselves
to abide by that decision. Now this
committee consists of three Radicals
Hoar, Frye and Wheeler-and only
one Democrat, The banditti also
made the same proposition to the sub
committee, compos ed Of two Radicals
and one Democrat, and the Picayune
says the Committee would have
entertained and decided the question
had the Kellogg usurpers consented
to refer their own claims to the same
tribunal; but this they dared not do.
The Picay,1ae thinks this second
proposition will fall through for the
same reason. Could there be a more
conclusive Indication of the absolute
Justice of the Conservative claims than
the fact that that they are willing to
submit to the arbi iration of political
enemies, while the Kelloggists will
not abide the decision of their OWL
partisans?

now make the motion to reconsider the
vote by which the resolutions were
tabled, and trust that all the gentle
men on this floor, who believe the pre-
sent Constitution unsuited to the
tastes, habits and necessities Of our
people. will vote against all amend
ments, and vote for the resolutions
which commit the House only to such
action in the premises as is most con-
ducive to the welfare of the State, and
under all the circumstances most prac-
ticable.
On the motion to reconsider, the
yeas and nays were ordered, and the
motion prevailed by the following
vote yeas 75, nays %.
The amendment of Mr.. Norment
was voted down as being irrelevant to
the resolution.
MIR. Boyd's amendment, in the form
OF substitute, which was, in sub
stance, q call for Convention and the
question submitted to the people, was
voted down by a strict party vote

THE DEAD LOCK.

The telegraph tells us that the
lower house of the National Congress
is still in dead lock with no present
positive promise of an adjustment.
The difficulty seems to be a war of
the majority on the minority. and the
attempt to deprive them of the benefit
of debate, which is now unlimited,
under the regular rules Of the House.
The movement is an alarming one,
and is aimed directly at Louisiana
and at the passage, this session, Of
Buffers pet scheme of iniquity,
the Infamous Civil Rights bill
The ostensible object of the resolu-
ton, however, which was introduced
last Monday, is to prevent the enter
tainment of "dilatory motions" de-
signed to obstruct the passage Of bills.
In the right to make these motions
lies the only defence of the minority
against the majority. Very likely this
right may be abused, but at the same
time it's destruction would be the sig
nal for a rampant overriding of the
opinions Of the weaker party by those
whose own protection is amply pro-
vided for by their numerical strength.
Fortunately, they are not all Butt
lers on the Radical side of the House,
and sturdy fight has thus far been
made against the measure, and with
so much SUCCESS that the Radicals
seem about to change front and to
clothe the movement in what they
hope may prove a more attractive
guise. The dispatches tell us that it
is thought that an attempt will be
made to adjourn over until Monday,
when the resolution may be modified
so as to include only the remainder of
the present session. It is hoped that
the opponents of this dangerous move
ment will be sufficiently on the alert
to effectually oppose it when it is next
brought forward

Mr. Bells bill for the improvement

lands in New Hanover and other coun-
ties came mp as special order. Mr.
Bell amended.
Mr.. Linney opposed the bill in it's
present face. The Board of Education
proposed to give half of the five bund-
red thousand acres of swamp land to
a canal company for is ditching and
draining. Now this land at $50 per
acre Will bring s., ,OOO, 900, enough
money at $15, 900 q mile to construct
railroad from the seacoast to the
Tennessee line. It would be q poor
trade to give this away to q canal COM
pany just for its ditching and drain
ing; as foolish as killing the hen that
laid the golden egg.
Mr.. Morehead favored re-referr1ng g
in order to frame a new bill.
Mr.. Bell supported the bill in a
very handsome way.
Mr.. French favored the bill but
moved it's reference.
Mr.. Kerr explained the only law
points in the bil and argued Its geo.

it seemed geological impossibility
