DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS SWORN IN.

About the close OF the last session, and
while most Of the Democratic members of
the House were discussing the effect of
the proceeding in the Deutsche Company
Hall caucus, the following gentlemen ap-
peared and wire sworn i'll by the Speaker:
James Webb, of st. Landry: ". w. Car
loss, OF Webster; NJ. McAlpine, Of Ver-
non. The ACCESSION Of these members
makes the complement Of ffty-six who
were declared elected by the Returning
Board, and settles the question of a quo
rum SO firmly that any necessity for an
extra session is entirely removed. We
never had amp doubt that the House had
a quorum, Though some OF the opposition
who are strict colstructionists in all points
that appear to initiate against their inter-
ests have generally denied 1t. The return
of hlessrs. Webb, Carloss and McAlpine
deprlves theln of even this poor excuse to
prolong the agitation.

REVOLUTIONISTS.

The treatment the re owned revolution
ist, John Mitchell, is now receiving ut the
hands Of the English government is so re-
markably III contrast with the treatment
that the American government has thus
far melted out to the noted revolutionists
of our own country, who were engaged in
what can be properly styled the rebellion
Of shareholders, that an allusion to it at
this time, by way Of comparison, may
prove profitable to the advancement of
good governm cnt in the old and new
world; for, be it remembered, there are
many who believe that England, with her
constitutional monarchy, presents the
s'tmnlum boauna of government, while, on
the other hand, millions of intelligent
treemen have proclaimed the United
States government ''tne best the sun ever
shone upon" Admitting. then, that the
two forms az government present the
7reatest perfection in human government
yet discovered, it is well tt. potice the
practice of both. and the result thereof =
order to determine which gives to its citi-
zens tie greatest security ''to life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness.
England, though noted in the Old
World for her liberality in affording pro-
lection to distinguished revolutionists.
who, from time to time, have endeavored
to give relief to those, in reality, down.
trodden by despotic rulers, claiming to
rule by divine right has manifested far
more stringent observance of the law to-
ward traitors and revolutiOnists in her own

On Thursday evening next an entertain

at st. Patrick's Hail for the henr6 OF Ice
Lafayette Presbyterian Church. The con-
cert will be made more attractive by the
appearance of Miss Kate Thayer, whose
voice will be heard in a solo from lie Pre-
aux Clerc," with violin obligatp by Nj.
Caulier. Miss Thayer, daughter of an old
resident Of this city, has a naturally fine
and highly cultivated voice which is too
seldom heard in the concert room.

OF the New Orleans jubilee singers says:
These celebrated singers will give an en-

will offer a varied selection of melodies
genuine samples of sacred songs, which
have made music in the corn fields in the
olden times. The singers have been heard
with delight all over the United States and
in Canada" New Orleans itself prefers i'm

p1smAN1LEp poLIIIcAL GENERALS.

Sentiment III politics Is no doubt a very
fine thing, but the average mind demands
something more substantial. The gen
| eral-in-chief must achieve successes and
| gain fruitful victories if he would escape
the danger Of being deposed. There is
| now a very decided movement on foot
among the Democracy to set aside a
number of political generals, including
the nominal ccmmander-in-ch Mr..
McEnery. Since that very worthy gen.
tleman but singularly unfortunate politi-
cal leader has lost the able assistance of
the skillful WArmo!h, the careful, saga
cious Campbell and the polite and
persuasive MdMillen, he has steadily
refrigerated, lost ground, and with it
the confidence of his party in his
abilities as leader. He has been vir-
tually superseded since the beginning of
the campaign, which eliminated in the
great storm of the fourteenth of Septem-
Der. For time his grand vizier, Mr..
Mari, doomed up in Elusive proportions.
and for season actually gave promise
of becoming sort of hero. But he lacks
ballast, and is unmanageable in storm,
and is now included in the list of failures,
whom, to save the fortunes of the fleet, it
is deemed nee essary to dismantle and put
out of commission. There are dozen or |
fifteen more of these whilom .'prominent |
leaders Of the people marked for obliv- !
ion. When they are fully retired there |
will be a great increase in the chances in
favor OF peacd among the people OF this

ness and the city continued to prosper.
1t was business and not shotgun COM
munity. We find st. Louis, Louisville,
Chicago and Cincinnati getting trade
which should naturally come here. They
are we'll enough pleased to get rich
while We get poor; but do not
miss the opportunity to read US
great moral lessd ms. They tell US that
law and business are necessarily silent
while the private gunners are patrolling
the streets. They tell us that traffic flies
before approaching White League armies;
that buyers and sellers are silent before
the rattle of musketry; that cotton floats
do not pass in thoroughfares barricaded
with street cars. boxes, barrels and other
distractions pladed in an emeute; that
capital flies from strife and revolution.
The lecture we gdt is sad one; more sad
because Il true ONE, and the application
here.
An ambitious old man once tried to
rule kingdom by conspiracy. He got
left in the race, but his words remain:
Had but served my God with half the
zeal l served my King, He would not in
mine age have left me naked to mine enc
mics.
Mob has been King here, and God,
humanity and business have been forgot
ten. Our enemies are the cities profiting
by the commercial stupidity of New Or
leans. But the lesson has been learned, |
and if the lawyers will hide their heads in |
their green bags, business men may yet |
retrieve their lost fortunes.
