LtnE THE ANVIL. /,

The bearing OF the people of New
Orleans under the oppression, insult
and indigni;y hcapei upon them is
notle, patient. heroic. Conscious Of the
justice of their cause, never despairing
of the republic, they pursue the calm,
even tenor of their way with the de-
termination not to permit their enc
mics to provoke them into extreme
measures and thus have an excuse for
continued and additional degradation.
The report of the board Of underwri'
tiers, as well rs the eloqent protest OF
Archbishop Percbe, Bishop Wilmer,
Bishop Keener and other eminent
church dignitaries, breathes the spirit
ola Continental document. They are full
of the spirit of l776, which, though it
has lain dormant almost for hundred

"BANDITTI" SHERIDAN.

The course of General Sheridan will
surprise no one who is familiar with
that officers vandal-like desolation of
the valley of Virginia during the war,
his determination of helpless Indians
dying with smallpox, and his dissolute,
tyrannical career in New Orleans,
when he first 'struckp New Orleans
some years ago.
He Is made of just that coarse, COM
mon material that ambitious men use
in subvertlng liberty. There is vul-
gar ferocity about the man that chafis
at all decency and dignity, and gloats
over the opportunity of exhibiting his
rufiianism and power on all occasions.
His mania potu rawlings about "assas-
sination' will serve only to make him
ridiculous in the eyes OF sober-minded,
thinking people.
His mendacious dispatches bear all
the ear marks of having been either
prompted from Washington or manu-
featured out of whole cloth by some
one of the valiant Kellogg's gang. His
assertions and charges against the 10y
atty of the people of Louisiana are abb
solutely false, and General Sheridan
and the creatures whose dirty work he
is doing, knew them TO he false at the
time. They will not weigh a feather
in the minds of the American people
in making up their verdict rs TO his
conduct. He has out HeroieJ Herod,
aud richly deserves being court mar
tisied and dismissed from The service.

Mr.. J. M. Morphis, who has been
connected with the Texas press for
many years, has just published his
work with the above title. Throughout
the book runs broad, humorous
stream of anecdotes, many of them
never before published, but all anus
ing and characteristic. Mr.. MOrphis
has an excellent memory, and GER
tain droll and dry way ofnarrating the
result of his researches and intercourse
with many of the men of Texas who
figure in this curious volume Of his
torical memoirs. TO one not familiar
with some of the scenes, incidents and
individuals described, much of the
pungency and truth of his sketchy pen
pictures will be lost, but to those who
have ever seen any OF the originals, the
points given about them will be easily
recognized Apart from these features,
the book contains much valuable infor-
nation and historical data, which cam
not fail to interest all who wish to
"read upn on Texas. The book is now
ready to be delivered to subscribers by
the author.

"ALL OF uA" RELKNAP.

For the first time in the history OF
this republic cabinet officer has dis
played the ala,rity of menial, the toa-
dyism of turnkey in livery, and the
eager, self-important officiousness OF a
time-server, in Fastening to endorse,
in bad English and vulgar parlance,
the action of n debauched military
tyrant, who has not hesitated at the
beck and nod of an equally grasping
usurper and master, to prostitute his
authority for the purpose of perpetrat-
ing wrong and injustice upon Ameri-
can treemen and law abiding citizens.
In the high handed outrage Grant
has just been guilty of in Louisiana, he
has thrown of the mask and openly
deiies the people, whose servant he is,
and the American congress, whose duty
it is to check executive Entertainments
upon the rights of the states and the
liberties of the citizen.
The issue is now patent to the world.
1t is between. liberty on the one hand
and the stability of republican govern
ment; end on the other appear reck-
less usurlation by the executive, car
ried out by military Jeftries who dis
graces the uniform he, wears, by lend.
ing himself 10 infamy, in the interest
of as great set Of scoundrels, thieves,
adventures and plumbers as ever fas-
tened themselves upon defenseless
people, and fattened, upon their sub
stance under the shadow of a tyrants
bayonets. -H .tl gar 'ip i'l
The trucking subserviency of the
secretary of war to the president in
his Endorsement of banditt" Sher'
idan's preposterous pronunciamentoes,
is in keeping with the mediocity and
incompetency with which Grant has
surrounded himself In the shape OF q
cabinet. The cabinet does not rise tc
the dignity of a corps of clerks; they
are men like lot of orderlies around
the headquarters Of a general com
handing, and have just about as much
to do with their departments and the
administration of the government as
orderlies have with planning a cam.
paign. --.... -.- tn.
"All of Us'' is good. There is re-
freshing haste about Belknap's hurry
to let Sheridan know that "all of u.s.
endorse his conduct, an anxious, tremb
ling, fussy pompousness about him
worthy of Major Wellington DE Boots
Belknap's action in this matter is
clear case of "bounce." He is proba,
bly, timid fellow at best, and is going
like DE Boots, to "try the effect OF
little bounce' on the people of Louisi
ana. 1t will not work, however. HIS
official nose will be pulled yet before
he is through with this business.

THE work Of the congressional COM
mlltee goes bravcly on In Louisiana.
Men from every rank life, business
aud professional, and even the Episco.
pal bishop, have been summoned to
testify. Their testimony oil tells the
same tale of the social, political, com
mercial and agricultural ruin, misery
and tyranny, resulting from years OF
carpetbaggery. Owing to the present
political troubles, the want of confi-
dence In the radical state administra'
ton, some of the oldest and shrewdest
moneyed men of New Orleans have
closed their business affairs and left
the city.
The Washington special to the Gin
cinnati ournal, says: "The republicans
have been looking forward to carrying
the next presidential election by setting
aside the votes of the southern demo-
cratic states, in case of close election;
but their game is spoiled by the fact
that the next house of representatives,
which is 50 largely democratic that
Clerk Mcpherson can not manipulate
it otherwise, will form an efiectual
check upon the senate in the joint ses-
sion provided for counting the electoral
vote. 1t is the general belief of demo-
cratic politicians here that the next
presidential election will be so over
whelmlngly democratic as to preclude
n contest" ...t.|
THE legislature meets on the twelfth,
and 1t is to be hoped that members
will do rs much work and as little
talking az possible. There are many
matters of vital interest to be attended
to, and there is no time for bursts OF
elequence and flowers of rhetoric. Set
tie the International bond muddle
honorably, call constitute nal con.
vention, put the public schools and its
properties and source upon basis that
will secure the best teachers, the great
est amount of teaching and attend
ance, and ample school accommoda-
lions. The matter of legal advertising
wants proper legislation to protect the
people. The mode of selecting district
Judges, whether by election OF appoint
ment, should be decided upon.
IT will be remembered that the adj
mission of five members, who had not
been returned by the returning board
of Louisiana, was made the basis fol
the military order to clear the house,
and these five members were put out
at the point of the bayonet. 1t now
itranspires that the republicans, since
the retirement of the democrats, hav.
ing only fifty-one members with Ger.
tificates, have admitted three memb ers
who occupied precisely the same posi-.
ton as the five gentlemen who were
elected. They were radicals from De.
Soto, and one from Grant parish. The
question now is why don't the military
again interfere, and put these men also
out as they did the five democrats?
