placed the adhesive ice in the assures of the
wall, and left the whole mass to obey the law
of gravity. which brought it down with
swift, terrible crash.
The whole blame of this appalling calamity
must rest upon the Department of Buildings.
and especially upon the officer called by our
present charter the Surveyor of Buildings.
This department was created for the purpose
of securing the community against dangers
from unsafe or ill-constructed buildings.
There are no points OF danger to which
it's vigilance should be so promptly and
vigorously directed as to high, unsupported
walls left standing after fire. The warping
effect of fire in bringing thin walls out of
perpendicular, the cracking and dislntegrat-
ing influence of intense heat and the SUISSE
ouent action of freezing water and melt
ing ice create an immediate neces-
sity for o thorough examination and
testing OF such standing walls after every fire,
and surveyor or inspector should be on the
ground before the premises are ever left by
the guard of police who keep the space clear
around burning or recently burned buildings.
To leave the uncommonly thin wall of a
six story building which is liable to fall at any
minute, standing for six weeks, to the peri
of q vast congregation which assemblies close
under the overhanging danger, is crinna
triAng with human life and public safety
which deserves the severest censuro and
punishment Whether the officers of the
Department of Buildings can bs Grim

wisdom and courage of the republicans. M.
Gambetta sees plainly enough that there can
be no republic in France that does not en-
brace the moderate monarchists. The mon
archists see that next to constitutional king
the most satisfactory form of government
would be conservative republic. M. Gam
beta feels that republic, no matter how con-
sentative, is all the time step toward repub-
lcanism; that the system, to grow well, must
grow slowly Hence he and his following
combine with the moderate monarchists and
pass the Senate bill and the Public Powers bill
by almost two-thirds majorites. He does not
want Senate, but better q republic with
Senate than q monarchy with a Chamber
of Peers. He sees that republics have
never succeeded except when they have
steadily progressed from q basis almost mo-
narchicaL He has probably studied the history
of the United States we'll enough to know that
in the beginning the distinction between
republicanism as preferred by Washington
and Hamilton and the monarchy of Great
Britain was little more than shadow. If,
therefore, the Republic should be proclaimed,
and could once become an assured form of
government, welding its machinery, steadily
growing in the confidence of the people,
identifying itself with the Church and the
State and even with the aristocracy, il is only
question of time for it to grow more aud
more liberal. After Washington and Hamil-
ton we had Jefferson. Alter Theirs and Mac

Shades OF Andrew jackson /! can
such things BET Failing to defeat
the Republican majority in the House
Of Representatives BY other methods,
the virtuous leaders of the immacu-
late Democracy have dispatched en-
lssaries into the legislative halls to
bride members Of the House with Of
fers of money to prove recreant to
their party and official trusts by as
sistipg the Democrats to gain control
of the government. Fie fe! We
thought the pure minded Democracy
of Louisiana above such things. They
have always insisted that bribery and
corruption, as political agencies, were
the exclusive property of the Repub-
lican party, yet here we find them
"sing the questionable agents with
the readiness of adopts. One of their
emissaries has been exposed and ar
rested, and We hope it will be discov-
cred who the parties are that dis
patched him upon his unclean and
fraitless GRAND.

of seven members, has decided to
come to Louisiana, aud will leave
Washington for New Orleans to-mor-
row evening. If they reopen the in
vestigatioo, it is to be hoped they'll
begin at the beginning of our troubles,
and after a complete and searching
examination into the cause and effect
as applied to Louieiaua's political ills
we feel assured they will frame re-
port greatly dissimilar to that of their
sub committee. Giving this as our
candid opinion, we await the issue.

The sentiment expressed by Sen
ator Logan of Illinois in his mastery
speech upon Louisiana affairs, that
"When the Democratic party was
dead and rotten in its grave, the
memory of Grant, Sherman and Sher-
idan would shine in the hearts of the
American people like the MONDAY
sum-" will find a warm response in
the minds of the loyal masses of this
country.

Upon the fourth page of this issue
of the CHIEF we publish a lengthy
article from the gifted pen of Eugene
Lawrence upon "the dangerous clas-
ses at the South, which will serve co
indicate how the state of affairs 10
this part of the country is regarded
by large proportion of the Northern
people, and what the remedy they
suggest for the regeneration of our
social and political system. If in some
particulars the views of Mr.. Law
renee may seem to aggravate tho real
condition of the South, it can not be
denied that his premises are in the
main correct, while the experience of
North and South Carolina proves that
in the suppression of the White
Leagues and Ku-Klux organizations
lies our only path to peace and CON
sequent prosperity.

The Grand Jurors having finished their

report to your honor. We have done all in
our power to investigate matters and report
accordingly, hoping that our labors will
prove successful and beneficial to the public.
PUBLIC OFFICES AND BUILDINGS.
The Courthouse is in leaky condition,
and. considerable repairs are needed, partic-
ularly in the flooring of the Jail, and the
walls of said Jail ought to be repaired. The
Jail is very clean and the prisoners we'll at

good; the prisoners only complain of want
RECORDERS OFFICE.

It is kept in perfect order. The Recorder
informed US that the Police Jury had con-

dex Of conveyances and index of mortgages
for his Office; that in said contract the Pc
lice Jury failed to provide for the payment
Of the same that now the said indices are
made complete and have been received by

honor to order the Police Jury that when
ever they will proceed to levy tax tor the
ensuing year that they shall levy special
tax to meet the payment of said induces
and all necessary books that said office may
be in need of.

IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The situation of affairs at the seat
Of government is unchanged. Both
houses of the General Assembly hold
regular daily sessions, and although
the appointment of the standing COM
mittees is delayed for the purpose of
according the Democrats representa-
ton thereon in case they conclude to
return their duties, yet such business
as the introduction of bills, the first
and second readings thereof, appoint
ment Of necessary special committees
Of investigation, ETC., is transacted as
il there was a full Assembly. The
recalcitrant Democrats will not be
suffered to delay needed legislation
much longer, however, as resolution
has been introduced in each house
to declare the seats of absent men,
bers vacant uDless occupied within a
stated delay. ..r
Among the reform measures intro
duced we note bills to reduce the fees
and emoluments of various officers,
to abolish certain useless Offices, to
repeal acts creating new parishes, to
amend the section of the revised stat
utes prescribing the compensation of
witnesses, to prohibit Police Juries
from employing other counsel than
District Attorneys pro tenn. in suits for
or against parish, and several others.
A bill to suspend the collection Of
taxes 90 overlooked lands and another
to remit penalties upon all back taxes
paid within ninety days from the pas
sage of the act, have also been placed
upon the calendar of the Senate and
will in all probability become laws.
Senator Landry has given notice
that he will introduce bill authoriz-
ing the Police Jury of Ascension par
ish to levy a special tax to pay labor
ers employed to protect the levees
during the high water also, bill
for the better protection of laborers
on plantations throughout the State.
The same gentleman offered resolu-
ton providing for committee to ex-
anime into the matter of certain ferry
privileges granted to Marx Schonberg
and others at Donaldsonville by act
No. l6 of extra session of 1870.
On Monday next the Senate will
consider the Governors veto Of the
acts amending the charter of Donald
sonville, Incorporating the Bayou La
fourche Railway Co., and authorizing
the town attorney of Donaldsonville
to sue for abrogation of the ferry char
ter granted by act No. Is Of extra
