Tho unnntnral coalition in the Illinois
Legislature between tho Bourbons and 1ntlc-
re:idc1sts met serious roverss yesterday.
Tho senate resolutions reeitiug the military
outragcs in Lonisiana, md proposing joint
committee to report proper expression Of

Of Illinois, worc taken up in tho House.

was nlso tabled BY yeas, IS; nays, 7o,--5
absent On both yotos n clear majority of
tho whole House voted to ssiuelch the Bour-
bon bon,bast, and rcpudiato their blnthcrslito
and partisan lan'nbug. Tho Democrats 1layo
heen rather hasty. Tho Independents "
who ire not Democrats aro not prepared to
swallow the resolutions Of '9s without tins
for reflection upon tho consequences. They
aro hardly prepared to indorso revolution,
bloodsaod, md murder, and it WAS not good
policy to have asked them to do SO at this
stage of the game and thus early in tho CAM
paign. As it H., tho Independents represent
ing Democratic and Republican constituent
cics haso both revoked, and have badly de-
feated the Democrats on the first square
issue Of Tho day. The Independents will
have to repeat TINT operation several times

THE BOURBON HOWL,

Tho recent Democratic howl over tho Lou
isiana stuabbles and troubles, which is be-
ginning to nbate III its gir11lcnco Bince it Is
confronted with facts, should be got before
tho people in its proper light Its beginning
and it's end, it's effort md purpose, were first
and Inst the manufacture OF Democratic polit-
ical capital, for Which purpose tho "bGnait-
ii" dispatch OF Gen. SHERIDAN was seized
upon by tho Dourbons as veritable godseud.
Had TINT dispatch not boon published by the
Secretary OF War, md Ind the aituation In
Louisiana beon bounded by tho Wu7z call
for troops upon tho ono hand and tho KE1-
LOGO cnll upon the other, the Bourbons would
have contentod themselves with o growl ill.,
stoal Of howl, and wonld have given tho
situation no further attention than they did
the September emeute. They cared nothing
for tho " usurpation," as they called it, for
they had made use Of tho same kind Of
"usurpation in Louislana and Kansas.
Tloy cared nothing for the use OF
troops for they called upon the troops
first and applaulcd thcm. They cared moth
ing for tho nllegetl "siolenco," for thoy sns.
tain tho White-Leagsie banditti, which accom-
plishes its purposes by violence when tho
troops Of tho United States are not proaont
to prevent them, and 1t would today, had it
tue power, withdraw every soldier from
Louisiana and giyc over the State to anarchy
and bloodshcd, coup d ftat and revolution.
What the Democratic party wanted was an
opportunity to rase a howl and inAame anti
Republican prejudices, md It found 1t In the
Louisiana situation, aud has improved 1t,
Democratic newspapers, congressman, Legls-
laturos, mud partisan domasoguo meetings
have united in the common effort to dis
tort the facts in the case, and to
faston the responsibility Of the Loulsi-
| ans disturbance upon tie President
and the Republican party, who had nothing
to do with it. Not ono Of them Ind the con-
sisteucy to condemn WnTz and the Demo-
cratic minority for doing the identical net
| they charged upon KE1Iodo md the Hepub-
lican majority. Not one Of them recognized
the fact that Gen. SHERIDAN had no more to
| do with the events Of Jau. than it he had
remained In Chicago; that the President Ind
nothing to do with them; that the nepub-
licau party had nothing To do with them !
that the oniy persons who did have anything
to do with them were W1Lrz, Kz1.oao, and
Gen. Dr. Taooa1Aap, and their immediate
followers.
While the Democrats were frantically howl
Ing, the President and the Republicans were
calmly waiting for the facts. The Republic
