The Juror gotten up by the Democratic Sen
ators and the press in sympathy with them,
about Louisiana, will sadly fail OF its object. 1t
was intended to affect the Presidential election
in 1876. Before that time the froth will have
subsidized, and the country see that the Presi-
dent did nothing but his duty, and in doing
that prevented bloodshed and murder in New
Orleans. The Democrats are welcome to all
they can make out of it. No body was ares
ted, 10 civil functions were assumed and on
ly few frenzied politicians prev nted from
shedding each others blood. Ii human life is at
all valued in Louisiana, it would be a blessing
to the people, if the restraint Of the military
were always with them.

Let ths Southern Senators, especially the
Confederate generals among them, think lit
tie, and see whether the True spirit and under
standing OF the laws, by reason of which they
are in their seats, arc fully csrred out aud ob-
served in their section. This is too serious a
business to be made the subject of intlamnlato-
ry harangues. There are two sides to I'LL ques-
tions, and all gu 'stions present different
phase, vicwed from different stand points. The
north has its stand point, from which the laws
were enacted, ana from which the RECONSTRUCT
ted States were admitted to representation i'll
Congress. Let it not. be said that the South
has acted in bad faith in this matter. Let the
subj ct be dispassonately considered 1t too
soon to commence dcmagogning it forthe Pres
idental election. Then material might give

should have been the fact in Louisiana. AND
keeping this case in mind, it is not difficult to
determine that the whole proceedings OF al
hitting the five delegates as members OF the
Louisiana Legislature, was a serious farce that
almost amounted to tragedy, and that really

was not the Legislature, bat violent and dis

A disastrous fire occurred in Baltimore, OH
the 9TH consuming one Of the large tobacco
warehouses at the foot Of Frederick street, and
partly destroying another. There were $500
hogshesds of tobacco IN the buildings, all OF
which were consumed with the exception of
some fifty. The loss OH the tobacco is $50, 900.
which is very nearly covered by insurance.
The warehouses were estimated to be worth
another hundred thousand, and the State has
some insurance lrpon them, but not npto their
full value. The origin Of the contlagration is
mystery, but there is strong suspiciesa that
it w:ss the work OF All incendiary.

cl .red one Floord elected sergeant-at-arms, and
ordered that q certain number of assistants be
appointed. Instantly large number of men
throughout the hall who had been admitted on
various pretexts. such as reporters and MEM
bers' friends and spectators, turned down the
lappels of their coats, upon which Were pinned
blue ribbon badges. on which were printed in
cold letters the words assistant Sergeant-at-
Arms and the Assembly was in the posses
sion of the minority, and the White League OF
Louisiana had made goods its threats of Selling
the House many OF the assistant sergeants-at-
arms being we'll known as captains of White
League companies in this City.
Notwithstanding the suddenness OF the move
ment. the leading Republican members had not
failed to protest again and again against this
revolutionary action Of the minority, but all to
no purpose, and many of the Republicans rose
and left the house in body, together with the
clerk, Mr.. Vigers, who carried With him the o.
riyinal roll of the House as returned by the
Secretary OF the State. The excitement now
was very great. The Acting Speaker directed
the Sergeant-at-Arms to prevent the egresS Or
ngress Of members or others, and several ex-
citing scuf1es, in which knives and pistols were
drawn, took place, and for a few moments it
seemed that bloodshed would ensue. At this
juncture one Dupree, Democratic member
from the parish of Orleans. moved that the mil
itsry power Of the general government be in
vted to preserve the peace, and that commit
tee be appointed to wait upon Gen. De Trobri-
and, the commanding officer of the United
States troops stationed at the State House and
request his a sistanee in clearing the lobby
The motion was adopted, and committee of
five (of which Mr.. Dupree was M de chairman
was sent to wait upon Gen. De Trobriand, and
soon returned with that officer, who was accom-
panied by two of his staff officers. As Gen.
De Vrobriand walked down to the Speakers
desk loud applause burst from the Dem cratic
side of the house. Gen. De Trobriand asked
the acting Speaker if it was not possible Tor
him to preserve order without appealing to him
as United States army officer Mr.. Wiltz said
it was not; wherenpon the General proceeded
to the lobby, and, addressing few words to the
crowd, peace was at. once restored. On motion
of Mr.. Dupree,. Mr.. Witt then, in the name

Las: evening ono Of the enterprising little
fellows who are to be seen everywhere
vending the daily papers, entered our office
and left the following note on our desk. and
took his departure go quickly that we had
no opportunity of questioning him on the
subject. 1t is evident that the boys have
substantial grievance. and if it is true. as is
stated in this note, that they are crowded
on: Of their own house to give place to
grown up men not engaged in their bust
ness. the subject should be looked into and
corrected by those who have charge Of the
Home. We publish the note in the shape in
which il was sent US for the reason that,
despite some faulty syntax. it goes straight
to the point. 1t is shame that these hard
working boys should not have place where
they can eat and sleep in such comfort as
their scarty earnings will afford them. This
is the note:

do go again, and be honest.
