BY this list it will be seen that Messrs.
Billieu, DeBlanc, Jeffries, Koontz, Luckett,
Maginnis and Sibilski, who voted against
the adj iustment in caucus, voted to concur
in its final ratification.
The Republicans, acting iu strict good
faith with their political opponents, ac-
cepted the award as final, and considered
the adoption of the joint resolution as its
honest ratification. They went so far as to
withdraw their candidates for Speaker and
Clerk of the House, and voted for Conserva-
tive nominees They elected the Conserva-
tive Sergeant-at arms by acclamation. 1t
was, then, matter of surprise to many
though others, remembering the Conserva-
tive tactics Of January 4, were prepared for
almost any demonstration in the Democratic
grasp for power and patronage-when Mr..
Meredith. one of the eighty-nine gentlemen
who voted for General Young's joint resolu-
ton, introduced the report Of the majority
of the Committee on Elections and Qualiti-
cations, declaring Messrs. Burkhardt, of
Orleans; Collins, Of st. Helena; Delhommer
and Eoorhies, of St. Martin, entitled to the
seats now occupied by Richards, Rochon,
Floyd and Martinez. .
But still more remarkable is the vote upon
its adoption, as it appears in the Journal of
tho House in another column. 1t will be
seen that the entire Conservative vote was
cast in favor of this palpable violation of
the adjustment. There is not one of them
to prove the exception to the whole. They
have made the record for themselves. Let
them be held to it, that the country at
large may judge what faith to place in
Democratic honor in Louisiana.
