There will be poisoned weapon taken
from the hands of the Democracy. There
will be weight lifted from the shoulders
OF the Republicans abroad. The proof of
violence and intimidation has been laid
before the world, let US show by the
integrity and moderation of our acts that
it has been inflicted without excuse. We
will remind our friends that we have it
from high opposition authority that no
resistance has been made to Republican
principles. With the demonstrations of
the past few months thousands of con-
servative men, convinced of Democratic
violence and Republican love Of order
and honesty, Will lend the weight OF. sup
port or OF neutrality to the Republican
administration.
We return the Republican administra-
ton and Legislature the sincere thanks of
the Republican press. Their honest and
and sensible action has not only relieved
us from all the burden of defense, but has
secured position impr egnable to the as
saults OF our opponents. From this posi-
ton We may now make sortie, and bring
in prisoners and flags from the discouraged
and dissolving army of our late antago-
nists. Such are the advantages of the wise
and conscientious policy Of our friends
over the strategy and violence of our OPP

CONGRESSMAN SHERIDAN.

The seating of George A. Sheridan to
represent Louisi ana at large in the Ma
tlonal House of Representatives for fit
teen hours strangely fleets the brains of
our neighbor, the Times. 1t can not be
expected of the newcom ers conducting
that sheet that they sho uld be well yersed
IN affairs concerning the election of 1872;
still, the returns might have been con-
suited, and there is no good excuse for
the conclusions they ju mp at.
The strangers on the Times reason with
out reason or figures that Congress has
decided Sheridan to have been elected in
stead Of Pinchback, his opponent on the
ticket at large before the people, and if
Sheridan was elected McEnery must have
been ele cted also. The facts in the case
do not sustain such theory. In the first
place, Mr.. Pincbback withdrew from the
contest. Having been elected Senator, he
waived his claim as Congressman at large,
and there was nothing left for Congress
to do but seat Sheridan, the next
best man in the contest. The recognition
of Mr.. Sheridan's claim in no way recop-
nizes the claims of MIR. McEnery. But
hrOwing out the circumstances under
which Mr.. Sheridan was declared Con-
gresham, there is still nothing left in
favor of the Democratic candidate for
Governor. Suppose Mr.. Pinchback to
have been contesting in the case. Take
the figures Of The Forman Returning
Board for 1872, aud they can not lie,
except in favor of the Democrats, and it
will be seen by those returns that
Governor Kellogg received 1911 votes
more than Mr. Pinchback- did on
the same ticket. Even if Mr.. Pinchback
had been defeated at the polls by votes
enough to have seated Sheridan, Cover
nor Kellogg would still have been elected |
by handsome majority, according to no |
better authority than the Fusion returns.
None but new men would advance such |
new theories to the contrary. The case
of Mr.. Lawrence against Mr.. .5ypher has
nothing whatever to do with the guberna.
torial contest, although tne Times couples
the name of Lawrence with Sheridan and |
says that the seating Of both of them was
done latter contrivance to take away all
political significance from the act by
recognizing Kellogg" 1.-The sop" says
the Times, sis not likely to appease any
body" That may be true, but it is much
more certain that the granting of fifteen
hours honor and several thousand dol
lars back pay to Mr.. Sheridan will never
anybody that Mr. McEnery was
elected. The Democrats who voted on
the case understand that the sop was not
for that purpose.

INsURRECTIONARY TACTICS IN CONGRESS

Democratic correspondents seem in
ecstacies over the parliamentary tactics
by which the Republican majority in
Congress was prevented from carrying out
the will of their constituents, the majority
OF the American people. The compli-
ments are due as We think to the majority
which obeyed the law rather than execute
their own will by disregarding the law.
They even bore the misapplication of
rules which, intended to secure the fair
consideration of public measures, have
been in this instance perverted to defeat
the will of the people. In New Orleans
majority of muskets has not waited for
the redress of wrongs through the forms of
law. 1t has assumed the right and en-
ployed the power to put its own constitute
ton upon the means proper to enforce its
objects. We regret the insulrectionarv
tactics of the Democratic members of
Congress, because it tends to impress
Tho doctrine that ali is fair in politics,
rs Iii war, a maxim which ranks in fall
lacy with that other Democratic doctrine
that the ''spoils belong to the victors"
The good sense and love of justice which
animates the American nation will in due
time reject political maxims worthy rather
the school Of IIachiavelli, Richelieu, or
Robespierre than nation Of Republican
ireeman.

nor is it likely it ever will be questioned.
But we now see for the first time the grant
OF power thus given applied to a limitation
of the rights and duties of the House in
reference to other matters heretofore
deemed properly Y hin its purview. The
Bulletin plants itself on this simple clause.
and with all the solemnity of Andrew
johnson, of Greenville, Tennessee, or a
robbers horse, proclaims to the popular
branch Of Congress, Thus far shalt
thou go, and no further"
Such proposition is not worthy of
serious argument. The American doc
trine is that the power of recognition of
State governments is vested exclusively
in the national government. In one case
where the President made decision in a
disputed question Of the kind, it was held
by the United States Supreme Court bind
ing in law upon all parties, though it was
competent for Congress to establish diff
ferent ruling if it saw fit to act. 1t is
purely political question, to be decided
by the legislative and executive depart
ments of the government. The Supreme
Court has declared itself to be without
Jurisdiction upon analogous questions,
such as the admission of new States. the
division of those already in the Union, and
the settlement Of political domestic dis
putes. As branch of Congress, it, there
fore, became the duty of the House to act
IN the matter one way or the other. The
President has repeatedly asked for con-
gressional action, and the party to which |
the Bulletin belongs has been impcrtuning
both branches Of Congress for more than |
two years to recognize the claims of MIR.
McEnery, predicated upon the election OF ]
1872. The action OF the President was
pronounced illegal because the consent of
Congress had not been secured, and pre-
dictions were constantly made that when
the question fairly ca me up he would re-
reive signal rebuke. In response to this
sort of discussion, and upon the earnest
request of the President, resolution
was introduced in the popular and
oy many considered the more influential
branch of Congress, reaffirming the de-
tislon of the executive. Being very
joint re solution, it was sent to
he Senate for concurrence, where want of
line has most likely prevented its con-
alteration, which would surely have re- ,
ulted in its adoption. The effect of such
concurrence would be the direct support
II the position Of the President by both
ranches of Congress. In any case, his 6

CREED AND COMPLEXION.

1t can not be assumed that Louisiana is
the only community III which portion of
the people complain of government OPP
preston. They have established free
| school system in New Brunswick, to which
it appears portion of the people will not
send their children, but have established
separate schools for which they demand,
we believe, a share Of the public school
fund. This demand the law does not
| recognize, and so the separatists, who pay
their share of the school taxes, are indig-
nant because they can not have their share
to themselves. Naturally these indignant
patriots resort to riots and other disturb
ances to such an extent that the local
authorities have called on the Dominion
government for military protection, which
has been extended them.
What does the reader suppose is the
cause why these people can not send their
children to the same schools? Perhaps
there may be pur pose to force negroes
into association with whites, OF Asiatic
pagans with Christians? Nothing of the
sort. The population is all Of the same
race and complexion. They even worship
the same Trinity. What then can Justify
this antagonism The Protestant Chris
tians have founded a set OF free schools.
and the Catholic Christians will not allow
their children to sit on tie same school
benches with them. 1t is, perhaps, for
fear Of ecclesiastical contamination.
An appeal is made to the Dominion gov
crnment, which sends troops 70 protect
the minority and keep the l,ace.
Here then We have the same schsln as
in Louisiana. In both States separate
schools are demanded. The Canadian Cath
Ole will no more allow his child to spell
from the same dictionary with a juvenile
heretic than one of our oldest and best
would permit his heir apparent to be
turned down in a spelling class by a
darkey.
Then the resemblance of the situation !
is carried out in the occupation of the two
States by government troops. It seems
to harmonic mankind any
where. They will quarrel about creed or

complexion, and have to be kept apart by
force of arms.
That our readers may see what is the
state of religious warfare in Canada, and
how closely it resembles the political con-
t1ict, here we subjoin an extract from the
correspondence Of the New York Tribune:
On this side of the line we have in the
New Brunswick riots something parallel to
your Louisiana troubles. The authorities
in that province have called to their aid
the Dominion militia, and the district
around Caraquet is practically under mar
tial law. A certain portion of the New
brunswick population are indignant at
what they claim ia an insult and d menace
and the case is further complicated by the
TACT that the Dominion government will not
interfere to withdraw the military, as the
Minister of Militia at Ottawa had nothing
to do with their being called out in the first
instance. The cause OF the riOting is the
antipathy OF the Roman Catholic popuia.
tion to the free schools law, which is now
in force in that province, and under which
separate schools receive no State aid. The
battle between the separate schools party
and the non sectarian schools party has
long been ranging in New Brunswick, sue
cessive appeals having been made
BY the former to the Dominion
Parliament, the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council, and the cleo
tors of the province, but without avail
In Ontario and Quebec the separate
school system is in force, and it's permanently
guaranteed by the British North America act,
but in the case OF the maritime provinces,
the local Legislatures have absolute control
over the school laws. Having failed to gain
their point by constitutional means. GER
tain portion of the New Brunswckers
would seem to have resolved to try what
violence would do. The rioters have com
mitted themselves to various overt acts.
breaking up meetings of school trustees,
invading the residences of obnoxious in
dividuals and plundering them OF money,
liquor and provisions; destroying public and
private property and shooting sheriff's
assistant. Several of the ringleaders have
been arrested, and authority is for the time
being triumphant, but fierce feeling is
smoldering among the French Roman
Catholic population, which constitutes one
third of the whole population of the prov
lnce. Their grievance is that the wishes
they say the rights-Of large minority are |
ignored, and what may BIZ the upshot Of the |
present trouble it would be hard to say. |
