who scott loudest at the colored peo-
pie for following the Republican ban
ner "like flock Of sheep" as they
termit have not the nerve to stray
away from the Democratic bell
wother, no matter into what disas-
tFoas complications the old mutton
head may cheese to lead them. This
is humiliating position for intelli-
gent citizens to be placed in-and es-
pecially SO when it ID considered that
they are the assumed leaders and rep
resentatives Of the people Of various
portions Of the State-but sorry a.
the spectacle may be, its existence
can not be denied. A handful OF men
have it in their power to alleviate
the dspIofable condition Of Louisiana
ana restore III . great measure her old
time prosperity, but the terror Of
party ostracism rises superior to the
dictates Of manhood and true citizen
ship and these men falter by the way
side, lacking the moral courage to
grasp the opportunity for redeeming
the land they profess 70 love 80 much.
Out upon such groveling cowardice
y The non-compromisers in the Dem
ocratic camp cry ont against any
recognition Of the Kelloggladminis-
tration as they would ct some fearful
spectre or horrid plague, and yet
hundreds Of officials elected by the
Democratic pasty carry the commits
sions Of Gov. Kellogg in their pockets
aud virtually serve under his govern
ment. This cry is hypocritical. The
trouble is that certainj individuals
will lose all claim to certain offices
and probably fall back into political
obscurity if the conservative men Of
both parties come together for the
general good and re-establish peace
and harmony by putting aside past
issues aud disagreements and looking
only to the future welfare of the
State. A furtherS obstacle to adjust
ment is that certain other deluded
persons Imagine that tile Louisiana
question will, in its present phase, be
. powerful aid to the Democracy in
the national contest Of 1876, aud they
would not have it's efficiency as a
campaign document marred BY a set
Element, albeit everytconsideration of
public welfare is involved in such a
contamination.
= We regret the failure of the at
tempts that::hsve been made to ad-
just the political con. plications which
retard the commerce. aud cripple the
industries Of Louisiana, but we are
glad to have it 50 upon record that
the failure is due to Democrats and
not Republicans.

We read in one1of the New Orleans
papers last week that Judge Taylor
Beattie Of Lafourche testified before
the Congressional Committee that he
had "never presided at the trial Of a
colored man for killing . white" AZ
three colored men were recently hung
under Judge Besteie's sentence, fos
the murder of E. Z. Eastwood, i white
man, We presume gross error was
made by the reporter who waots up
the testinoay, and that what the
Judge did ny war that he had never
presided at the THAI Of d white for
killing ; negro. Trials Of tho former
class are common, while the latter ART
very rare; and yet the number Of
colorsd men who have geen killed by
whites ID this State il probably ten
times greater than the number OF
whites that have met their fate ut tho

NO COMPROMISE.

NO COMPROMISE.
It was hoped by the conservative
asd peacefully disposed people Of
Louisiana that some adjustnsent Of
the political complications existing at
the capital would be agreed upon BY
the Republican and Democratic men-
bers Of the House Of Representatives,
in order that the wheels Of govern
ment should be no longer clogged,
that order should BE- brought out Of
chaos, and that the state Of anarchy
and uncertainty which is sapping the
very foundations Of our material
prosperity should bs replaced BY q
feeling of public security and calm,
begot by the..-aoquiescense Of the
whole psople in the government and
general obedience to its laws. By
this means alone could We hope for .
restoration of our lost commerce and
= revival Of the business and agricul-
tural industry which once made New
Orleans one Of the. most important
cities Of tho Union and Louisiana =
garden spot Of the nation. a"s
But it seems this desirable con-
summation is not to be speedily
realized. All efforts toward concilia-
ton and compromise between the OPP
posing.political factions ..have 80 far
failed, thanks principally to the ex-
tremists aud, place hunters Of the De-
mocracy, headed BY their pseudo
Governor, John McEnesy. Byirequest
of leading men3tof both parties, the
Con gressional Committee prepared
and submitted q plan of adjustment
which seemed to moderate and reason
able men, eminently fair and deserv-
ing Of appreciation. The leading
features Of this proposed arrange
ment, as epitomized by the New Or
leans Republican Of the 9TH inst, were
a. follows: 4g..g.

4 Stern Wheel Steamer Comes to Grief
at Donadsonville,' = III.
Yesterday mornirg; ssoae 4sas1ssk,
the stern-wheel steamboat Flets, Capt.
c. c. Pickett, plying between New
Orleans and Washington, st. Landry
parish, La, stopped at our wharf, on
her way up the river, to land Capt
Joe Dalferes and another passenger.
Resuming her course up stream, she
hugged the shore quite closely, and
1t q point just below the intersection
Of Bayou Lafourche aud the river,
struck one. Of the piers Of, submerged
piling which were used during low
water by our local packets as tenders
to prevent them from grounding on
the gently sloping Shore So forcibie
was the conclusion the Fleta rebound
ed distance estimated by eye Wit
nesses at forty feet, and q large hole
was stove in the forward part Of her
hull, on the larboard side, through
which the water began to pour with
alarming rapidity. With commend.
able presence Of mind the pilot ran
the boat ashore just shove the Bayou
and here she was secured to the bank.
Of course there was q panic among
the passengers and employees of the
boat, just after she struck, but it soon
became evident THAT there was NO
danger. of any lives being lost and
comparative qnieti WAS restored,
though there was a general rush for
shore as soon as the boat reached
land. ~. -.'.
The Fleta had fine cargo of freight
and an unusually large list Of passen-
gers, a majority of whom were ladies.
Most Of the cargo has been removed
to the shore, where it is protected by
tarpaulins and carefully guarded BY
watchmen. The passengers amused
themselves during the forenoon Of
yesterday as best they could, walking
about the town and vicinity, discuss
ing their mishap among themselves
and with our towDspeople, and par
taking Of hospitalities freely rendered
them by various citizens and ladies.
About twenty Of the passengers left
for New Orleans on the cars ut 2 P. NJ,
the railroad authorities kindly taking
them down at half rates, and most of
the remainder embarked on the steam
boat Henry Tete, which came out Of
the Bayou an hour or two later.
The Fleta lies almost parallel with
the bank, with bow high and hard
aground scarcely fifteen feet from
shore, and stern in deeper water. She
has careened slightly andseens slowly
sinking astern, but if assistance il
promptly at hand she can be raised
without much sdillculty. Capt. Pick
EFT has dispatched a messenger for
the necessary aid and a wrecker will
probably be alongside the sunken
steamer tonight. b's'fl-'''.'' tai ri.t
We sympathize with Capt. Pickett
in his misfortune. He il 4 worthy
gentleman and experienced steam
boatman and deserves better luck.
We trust his boat may soon be afoat
again, and that she may yet earn him
many times the amount it viii take
to repair the present mishap. ~ '

the grievances Of the disinterestad
gentlemen who had called them to-
getller. Resolutions denunciatory of
compromise with the kellogg govern
ment were read by asoss-eyed ora
tor and declared adopted by the pro-

eclipsed by idle curiosity in attract

viously given to abide BY the decision,

Growth of st. Louis.

Some idea of the rapid growth of st.
Louis may be formed from i COMPARE
son of the number of building permits
issued in different years. 1t must be
remembered that the population of the
city increased during the four wears
preceding the last census from POP 600
in 1866 to 100000 in lS70-an average
gam of 27,O00 yearly. Yet at that time
the number of building permits issued
was only about 1000 yearly, and in 20
it was but l,l34. The following com
pariSon of the number of permits issued
in each of the last five years indicates Il
steady and very remarkable increase III
the late Of growth:
