committee'sparody ON the declaration of in
dependence is totally disproved by Our
able and vigilant Senator. Thurmans
platitudes derived from the sayings of
men seventy years ago, Bayards' views
which smack Of the whipping post, and
Tipton's impertinence derived from a
Western crossroads inn are paled by the
indignant utterances of Senator West,
speaking in the great cause of law, truth,
humanity and Christianity. He has made
the speech of the session on the Louisiana
question, and we are delighted to learn
that his words have already taken effect.
The action of the caucus of Republican
members on Friday night is the fitting
and appropriate response to this great
speech. We are satisfied that the in
terests of the country will be preserved
and the protection of the Republican
party in the South assured. A plan has
been proposed, which will be Immediately
embodied into a law, which will put
stop to the guerrilla warfare which has
been waged in the South since the war in
accordance witch the oft repeated threats
of the Confederates that this line of tactics
would certainly be adopted in case they
were defeated.

litical opponents. It may be indefensible
by the party to which the corrupt mem.
Der belongs. Unusual excitement may
pervade the country. Innocent Repub.
lican officials and Representatives may flee
from the country to the city. They may
demand protection which the State gov
eminent can not g and federal bayonets,
indispensable to safety and order, may
make party war-cry against the Repub-
lican party throughout the Union. Such
are the possible consequences of corrupt
or even questionable legislation.
We have chosen to refer to the extraor-
binary proposition of a reform Legisla-
ture to purchase State House, under
the bill which has passed the House, as a
sample of the acts which the Legislature
should avoid. A little more such improv-
ident legislation, and we might apprehend
that even the reformites would 20 no
further than to mature value which
the incumbents of lucrative offices will
be compelled to recognize, and that then
those bills would, as similar bills in other
bodies have done-perish, or pass from
the calendar.
We ask the attention of the Senate and
executive, we would even convene the
Republica central committee for the
purpose of warning the white Republican
party that this is critical session of the
Legislature. With the actual and possible
gains of the opposition it is impossible to
maintain the ascendsncy of Republican
principles without the accession and
sanction of an additional portion of the
intelligence and interests of the State. It
is impossible to maintain that ascendency
with an adversary consolidation or even
the neutrality of these interests. Let there
be then a security. and if any brass tack
jurors be inclined to sell the ascendency
OF Republican principles for personal
gain, let his "money perish with him.
but let not the consequence of such
lgnominy fall upon the cause which such
traitor will have betrayed. For our
selves if in the inscrutable DEGREES of
Providence the principles upon which all |
human liberty is founded are to perish |
through the dissen sions or default of it's
professors, we hope to be spared the
'orrowful spectacle of seeing the Repub-
ican coffin in Louisiana secured and |
decorated by brass tacks.

VISITORS FROM THE EAST.

We have had the pleasure during the
past week of seeing on visit to our city a
party of six gentlemen from Lowell, Mas
sachusetts, the vast cotton manufact uring
centre of New England, who are making a
tour Of pleasure and observation through
the principal cities of the South. They
left for Memphis last night on the steamer
James Howard. Of this party none are
politicians; they are all practical, solid
business men. Messrs. j. A. Buttrick and
J. F. Kimball are prominent bankers; ex-
Mayor S. G.. Mack is an extensive manu-
facturer; Messrs. E. S. Hunt, William
Kittredge and H. A. Whiting are success
full merchants, who have acquired large
means by minding their own business.
These are the kind of visitors whom our
citizens are always glad to welcome.
During their brief stay with US they visited
all places of interest, by invitation of
Surveyor Parker, whose guests they were,
and made the acquaintance of many of
our leading capitalists and merchants.
They expressed themselves highly pleased
with our city, and especially gratifed
with the courteous and hospitable treat
ment extended to them by our people.
Being largely identified with the
vast manufacturing interests of Low
ell, they feel deeply concerned for
the peace and prosperity of our own
and neighboring Gotten producing States,
because they believe that the interests of
both are identical. The marked depres-
sion in business here could not, of course,
have failed to strike them strangely, COM
ing as they did from thrifty, industrious
New England city. Neither could they
have failed to note the throrg of able
bodied idle men on the corners of our
business thoroughfares, while capital re-
mains unemployed in our bank vaults.
They thought if there was more work done
here and less political discussion, pros
perity of all our material interests would
follow in good time. This is the grand
remedy. Our visitors, we are assured,
will carry with them to their ice-bound
homes the kindliest feelings of sympathy
and good fellowship for our citizens and
our good city.

GENERAL WEST AND THE WHITE
LEAGUE BRIEF,

Senator West took up the White League
brief filed by Phelps, Potter & Go. in his
mastery speech which we published yes
terday morning. and literally tore it all
to pieces. His replies in detail to the
seriatlm charges Of the Louisiana Dem
ocracy, as filtered through the report of
the discarded New Jersey man ct ais, are
like leaves from the deposition of truth
itself. They brush away the cobwebs of
deception and falsehood, with which the
report of the subcommittee abounds, and
leave the whole enormity they were woven
to hide exposed to the view Of one half
blind. Nearly every statement made in the

SO. They announce themselves open t.
individual or collective interview, and if
through inadvertence even, they may hav'
committed any error, will cheerfully cor
rect it. They invite inquiry as to tn
judgment and integrity of this transaction
because upon the harmonious and con
scientious concurrence of all in the sup
pert of the institution its usefulness ma,
greatly depend.
| There are but few words necessary, al
to the connection of Mr.. Lynch with the
sale Of this property. He was commits
sioner and custodian of the federal LAND
scrip, as of the State bonds and coupons
into which they were converted. It is
some certificate to those who may not
know him personally that these were
faithfully performed. He has offered the
property, and if it shall be purchased, it
will be at an impartial assessment OF
value, and at lower price than the
property has heretofore commanded in
market. Still, the board wish the public
satisfied Of the entire propriety of the
transaction, and will afford all facilities
to the press and others to examine and
pronounce upon it before its consumma-
ton. They also say that they are willing
to consider any other proposals of sale
which may be offered, though they are
firm in the opinion that to pay a fair
price for two hundred acres with good
buildings, and have three hundred and
fifty other acres, equally valuable, added,
at small consideration, is bargain
which can scarcely be offered by private
person.
1t is to be feared that the same
partisan spirit which passes over the
investigation of grants and leases
OF other public property and fran
ehises to censure this purchase, may
also Va hold from the public the great
import;. :e of the Mechanics and Agri-
cultural College, even as at present con-
stituted. 1t is free school endowed with
a national fund. 1t proposes to teach the
of science to agriculture and
to the mechanic and marine arts. It's
teachers conduct night schooakfor the
gratuitous instruction. IF apprentices who
have no time for day schools. It will
surprise many that in the drawing school
there are more than thirty scholars, whose
zeal and progress are remarkable.
It is the intention of the board to apply
for a school ship, which will be stationed
in front of the institution. We may thus
have marine station, which will be USE
full in organizing scho cl of seamen and
warrant officers for the commerce of New
Orleans.
From these public and local reasons it !
s to be hoped that an impartial considea-
ion will be given to the administration of |
he mechanical institute, and that if pos
;ible the school ship, the farm and work.
hops endowed by the federal government |
will be located in or near the city of New
Orleans.

civil authority in the South based upoz
the constitution and laws of common
country. This exhibition of military forct
against civil authority first displayed itsel1
in this country when an attempt
was made to resist the election o.
MI. Lincoln to the Presidency. Military
force was then used to overturn the con-
stitution and laws and create division Of
the country, which was to make one-hal1
slave, that half being the South. For
four long and dreary years did the slave
holding Democrats of the South use mill
tary force to subvert the free institutions
Of this country and overthrow civil au-
thority, and during all that time it be-
came necessary to arm freemen and or
ganize them as military force to defend
civil authority. This was continued sue
cessfully until the backbone Of the rebel
lion-the military force-was obliged to
surrender. Then the two hundred thou
sand freemen who had been summoned to
defend civil authority in this land of free
dom returned to their homes, leaving but
a few thousand regular soldiers to consti-
tute sufficient military force to aid in
supporting civil authority, to protect the
frontiers of the country from the in
cursions of the savage Indians and keep
down the lingering spirit Of rebellion that
manifested itself upon occasions of cleo
tons in the Southern States where the
freedmen had been invested with the
rights and duties Of citizens. In order to
have the South reconstructed upon
basis of loyalty to the constitution and laws
twas found necessary to make citizens of
men who had been formerly slaves, and
open the way for the settlement of men
in the South from other portions of the
country who would aid in the work of
reconstruction. With the aid of these
men the freedmen in many of the South
ern States became the dominant political
power, and the Democracy have long been
striving to break down this power. In
ONCAJ PACoAuCntAhA CACCtlOA oluCc CuC lIc0O.
men have been invested with the right of
citizenship the Democracy have been
striving to break down what it calls
the carpet-bag and negro influence
in the South. In many of the
States this has been accomplished by
violence-by military force exerted by
men who have placed themselves in oppo-
sition to civil authority; in opposition to
State and national authority; and when
the national government has been called
upon to enforce the laws with the aid of
the military-as in Louisiana-men
like Mr.. Wallis falsely cry out that the
government is making civil authority
to the military. But this
attempt of the Democratic party to mis-
lead the people at this time will prove no
more successful than its former attempts
in the same direction. If the government |
has found it necessary to use the military |
it has been compelled to do so by re-
bellious Democracy, in defense of civil |
authority,
