FRIDAY, Dec. 10-P. VI.

There was not a ripple to disturb the calmness of
the speculative sea, and decided calm seems to
have come over the scene after the zephyr IT ac-
tiyity noted in certain directions Yesterday and
Wednesday. The dullness was unbroken all day,
and there were no incidents occurring that would
warrant the slightest comment. The general mar
l,ct for railway and miscellaneous shares opened
firm and after a frmness of half an hour, during
which Lake Shore advanced - and Pacific Mail -,
there was gentle relaxation i'll prices, and without
any special pressure of stocks the market in the
afternoon became heavyish and stagnant The larger
dealings were in Lake Shore, Pacific Mail, Western
Union Telegraph, and the Northwestern shares
The general market closed firm. The bus
ness of the day. as will be seen by our
table was very SIN; i. amounting to the sale of only
about ~ 900 shares and while the fluctuations
have been very small comparing yesterdays closing

The demand for money not important, despite
the large business in Lake Shore stocks, which
would indicate perhaps series Of washing" tram

promptly met at / and 9 per cent. The market for
commercial paper was dull, and best grades moved
at per cent and upward. The currency move

OUR RIFLEMEN.

To those who are acquainted with the facil-
tiles of the New Orleans Rifle Club for
practice at their grounds, near Magnolia GAR
dens, it is not necessary to speak, but there
are comparatively few in this city. where that
sport is SO popular, who avail themselves of
the great opportunities membership presents.
The roll ought to number thousands instead
of hundreds.
Since the match between Eeland and Amer
lea there has been an increase Of practice all
over the country, and:amongst the members of
our Rifle Club there was no exception.
Sunday the crack Of the guns sounded from
the grounds throughout the day, and there
were scores made which will compare favor.

THE LOUISIANA COMMITTEE.

Washington Special to st. Louis Republican
29ih inst.1
The impression grows stronger every day
that the Congressional Committee now in
New Orleans will not succeed in getting
enough whitewash to materially change the
complexion of the report made by Foster,
Phelps and Potter.
The above is a very severe, and we believe
entirely unjust, insinuation against the gen.
hemen composing the Congressional Com
mittee now here. It assumes as fact that
the gentlemen came here for the express pur-
pose Of whi.ewashing the Administration and
the Radical party.
Such an assumption, we take il, is alto
gether unwarranted, for if any such purpose
could have been established, the course of
the Conservatives would have been materially
changed. We cannot believe that gentlemen,
who hold high and honorable positions at
home, would consent to act as mere catspaws
for party, but prefer to regard them as
fair and honorable judges who will i'm
partially decide upon the evidence
and not in accordance with orders from party
headquarters at Washington. Let us make
out our case before the Committee, in perfect
disregard of all injurious rumors, secure in
the justice of our cause, and in the knowl-
edge that it is not in the power of malice itself
to longer successfully deceive the people of
the country

COMPROMISE AGAIN!
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:

| Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
| Again are the ears Of this unhappy commu.
nifty assailed with echoes of compromise with
the usurpers and thieves who infest the places
OF honor, emolument and public trust in
Louisiana, together with those who represent
General Government that has lent itself &C.
lively and zealously to the direst oppression
of a helpless people.
A few days ago we were RECALLED with the
announcement of secret meeting between
conservative leaders " and members of the
Congressional Committee; now, the morning
Picdyalne announces that Mr.. Witt and
others had a " conference" with this same
committee, together with Kellogg, Packard
and Campbell, at the st. Charles Hotel last
night
No conclusion was reached, but Kellogg
seems to have made proposition that the
House presided over by Speaker Witt should
be recognized; the Conservative Senators
to return to their places and obtain fair
division of the Executive patronage!r' It
seems that the Conservatives "were not pre-
pared to speak fully for their party"
Now, do not pretend to discuss the mo-
tlves OF "some leading members Of the Con-
servative party" but | do most solemnlv pro-
test against their compromising the people of
this State, by holding any such conferences
as these. 1t is simply unaccountable that
Leading members should be willing to sit
down and listen to the siren song of Kellogg,
whom they, not only fguratively, but posi-
lively know to be usurper and villain.
Immediately after the 14th September, this
man and his minions sought con-
ference with the Conservatives and professed
anxiety to reconcile matters. Some of our
people were misled by him, and day after
day waited upon Kellogg and Packard trying
to arrange that moral impossibility, a salts |
factory compromise. He and Packard PLAYED
their game, achieved their object, and then
bowed them out of the Custom House, as |
they might have expected, without a crumb |
Shall we again smear ourselves with this |
blacklist pitch that ever soiled the hand of |
decent man? Shall we hobnob with KELLOGG.
Packard and Campbell! And listen to these
worthless offer Of o fair division of the Ex. |
ecutive patronage y
Is this what Louisiana has travelled for
Is the great principle Of self-government to
be sunk in division of spoGls with Senators
Have we RENTED theiquestion of our unparal-
eled wrongs to this greet country have we
OF it REDEEMED these streets with our blood
Have we for it widowed our women, orphaned
our children and broken the hearts of our
lged parents? Hsse we done all this, and
low stcop to talk with Kellogg, Packard and
Campbell shout ''oficial patronage?" The
men who will D, this-who will even listen to
'tfers of comts omise, now-are not "leaders.
However ms.ch they may have been trusted,
hey do aot represent the great soul of this
people, and sooner or later, they
viii learn it.

Kellogg and Packard-with usurpation and

DISCOVERY OF THE $1,000 REWARD BOOK.

q stop at once to impertinent controversies.
DISCOVERY OF THE $1,000 REWARD BOOK.
LOUISVILLE, Jan. 31.-The book for which
! $1,000 in gold have been offered by Mr.. G
Goldbourne, of London, and stated in cir
| cular extensively distributed by him, to relate
| to member of the royal family of England
| against the publication of which the Lore
Chancellor issued an injunction, and of which
| only one copy is known to be in the United
States. was discovered yesterday to be in pos
session OF young lawyer of this city.
The COTier-JOarnaL of this morning con.
| talns lengthy account Of the book, from
which the following extract embraces the main
facts: The book is the memoirs of George
~" containing a minute history of all the
scandalous passages in his life, together with
an exposure Of the corruption Of his political
administration. The identity of the book
seems positive, for it bears the imprint of the
publishers named in the circular, es well as
the date Of publication-1S3O.
The memoirs are in two volumes, and a
hasty glance at the contents suffices too clearly
to show why it is SO large a reward is offered
for it.
Two or three years ago an English gentle
man, named Taylor, booksalesman of this
city, discovered the volumes in a case of
books that he had imported from C. D.
Cozenore, London bookdealer, now out of
business.
The volumes had not been ordered, and it
was thought that they had been placed in the
case accidentally Mr. Taylor was perfectly
familiar with all branches OF English literature
and when his eye lighted upon the work, he
at once appreciated its value. He showed the
books to number of literary men of this city
and among them was the young lawyer, who
is now its fortunate possessor.
1t is quite certain that the reason the ROYAL
family are SO solicitous for its destruction lies
in the fact that the marriage of King George
with Mrs. Fitzherbert is proven by letters and
documents taken from the royal archives; it
also testites that a child was born to Mrs.
Fitzherbert while in lawful wedlock
The book contains finely executed portraits
of those women whose names have become
familiar to all students of the shady side of
English history in connection with that of the
amorous George.

YESTERDAYS NOON DISPATCHES.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA very large number
of petitions were presented against a restora-
ton of duty on tea and coffee, against re-
newal of any internal taxation and for re-
peal of the law of 1872, relieving certain
foreign products of ten per cent duty. Re
ferred to Committee on Finance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Senate Railroad
Committee had a long and rather excited ses-
sion but adjourned without action. The pro-
ceedings that have transpired give no plausi-
BILE indications of the result, though the
line from ocean to ocean seems to have most
friends, the argument being that feeders will
come of their own accord.
There are many connecting schemes which
prevent present and which may defeat final
action. 1t is either Tom Scott pure and sim
pie or nothing.
The first resolution offered in the House
was one by Hale, of Maine to amend rules by
adopting the following:
Whenever question is pending before the
House the Speaker shall not entertain any
motions of a dlatory character, except one
motion to adjourn and one to fix the day to
which House shall adjourn, but the previous
question on the engrossment Of the third
reading of bill or joint resolution
shall not be ordered during the
first day Of its consideration,
unless three-fourths of the members present
shall second the demand; provided, that
this rule shall not apply to the
House resolution offered in the morning hour
of Monday and provided further that it shall
not apply to any proposition to appropriate
the money, the credit or other property of
the United States, except the regular appro-
priation bills.

AFALsE STATEMENT OF GOV. WELLS

In regard to finding seals broken, / will
state that many packages came through the
Post-Office with ruptured seals This was
caused by transportation. This was the case
with respect to the returns of st. Mary par
ish.
The above statement was made by Gov.
Wells in the testimony he gave before the
Congressional Committee on Wednesday. the
9th inst. This statement was made in order
to free the Returning Board from the charge
of having opened and tempered with the cleo
ton returns after they came into their hands.
This statement is utterly untrue with re-
spect to the returns from the parish OF st.
Mary" The returns from that parish were
not sent through the post-ofice, but were
brought to New Orleans and delivered to the
Secretary of State by Mr.. Edward Fleurot,
the Registrar of Elections for the parish OF
st. Mary, in proper person, and If the pack
age containing those returns was in fact
broken open before they were canvassed by
the Returning Board, it was done for the pur-
pose of inserting the tally sheets Of the first
election precinct of that parish, which were
not sent forward till several weeks after the
returns were filed with the Secretary of State.
These facts can be proved, and would I'm
doubtedly be sworn to by Mr.. Fleurot, who,
although supporter of the Kellogg usurpa-
ton, is a man of truth, and if called on
would state the facts as they really are.
This statement of Gov Wells, so utterly
untrue in regard to the returns from the
parish of St. Mary, shows how little reliance
can be placed on his statements in regard to
the violated returns from other parishes. He
thought that no one would take
the trouble to expose his misstatements, and
that he could thus exculpate tn. Returning
Board, of which he was the president, from |
the crime of breaking the seals of the packages |
and doctoring the election returns to suit his |
wicked purposes.
If the Congressional Committee will sum-
mon Mr.. Edward Fleurot and Mr. G. B. |
Shepherd, of st. Mary, the above will be
fully verified
