The object of the anti-compromisers is
very obvious. It is to occupy position
which may enable them to make further
trouble We expect to see the Picausne
falling into this last ditch. It Las begun
by assuming that there is to be an imne-
date reorganization Of the House, which
will admit the election Of opposition
officers and tie appointment of commit
tees. 1t is to be unprecedented the Plea
y1tne will assume that this was a term of
the compromise, and by insisting conf
IDENTITY on this theory the whole opposi-
ton may take it up and endeavor to
persuade his excel ency the Governor
that he is bound to state this condition
in special message. We have
heretofore explained tina. the object
OF the special session is the enactment of
certain measures Of reform. The opposi-
ton have always held ont the idea that
this was the only political object they had
IN this life, but if those who protested
against the compromise as illegal can
swallow their own protest and come into |
House which they have denounced as
Illegal, the inference is unavoidable that |
they do SO to overthrow the organization,
seize on the House government, proceed
20 the execution Of their partisan ven
1etta, and so involve New Orleans in pro-
onged troubles.

'atronage, but for the now cicatrizinc

ot be wise for the business people of
Jew Orleans to irritate those chronic
ores anew.
