ADJOURNED SINE DIE,

The General Assembly closed its lnbors
last night after session Of fifty nine days.
Notwithstanding the embarrassments and
delays caused by the revolutionary move
ments Of the Democratic members, a fair
amount OF business has been transacted,
the greater portion Of which is of general
interest and will undoubtedly prove bene-
| fetal to the State. This session has Leen
purely Republican. No Democrat, in
| either house, has attempted to exercise
the slightest influence in proposing meas
ures CT reform or otherwise. Il has also
been the purest IN the annals of this State,
for the last generation at least. While
our party friends have been deprived
Of the ability, learning, experience
and the votes of the Democratic men,
bers, they have also been relieved of the
chronic tendency of that party 10 lobby
jobs through the Legislature. There
| have been some acts passed Of doubt
| full morality, but their origin is traceable,
as usual, to Democratic influence We
have neither the time nor the necessary
information, at the present time, TO give
detailed list Of either the good CT tie bad
laws which have been passed, but we can
assure the people that the former exceed
the latter as will be shown CT future &C.
casions.
The influence OF Governor Kellogg has
been most jpdiciously exerted in pro-
noting many Of the reforms recon-
rlended IN his admirable message. In
this be has been ably assisted by Lieuten-
ant Governor Antoine, who is admitted by
men of both parties to be one of the fair
est and most capable presiding officers
that ever presided over Louisiana Sem
ate. He is prompt in decision, courteous
in demeanor. and, what is most valuable
in a presiding officer, ever ready to give a
perfectly clear and correct reason for all
points of his ruling
Speaker Hahn has also succeeded we'll |
in keeping q degree of quiet in the House
which has not always been attained in |
previous sessions Of hat somewhat turbu- |
lent body.
Senators Anderson, Allain, urch
Brewster, Wharton, Herw;g, Sypher, |
Dumont and Blackburn, and |
Souer, Lowell, Mathews,
Heating, Demas, Ray, and many others,
to namo whom would require nearly full
roll call Of both houses, have shown by |
their work in co mmittee, in their debates
and votes, not only their devotion to
Republican principles, but to the State,
whose interests have been ccnfded to
them by their respective constituencies.
For the good work tina. has been ac-
we return thanks to the gen
.lemen above named and their fellow
members. For what las been left undone
which should have been done We may
hank the Democracy, who buried their
alents in Deutsche Company Hall.
We believe the chief measures of re-
orm proposed by the Republican party
lave been triumphantly carried through,
which will do away with the necessity for
n extra session. We hope and believe
here will be none called.

much In favor as those of compromise.
Clay lays over Calhoun here largely. The
doctrine of foreign Intervention seems as
completely played out with regard to the
Northern Democrats as it was with the
French and Englia during the late war
But IN the words of Poe, 1.-The people
Eyes, the people, CHOSE that dwell up in
the steeple'-have they empowered DR..
Warren Brickell to speak for them? Thus
far the ambassadors seem to have the ms
on the Outrageous and attorneys. "But
the caucus also is denounced as secret
and usurpatory. They have transcribed
all constitutional authority in undertaking
a compromise at all" We admire pbysi-
clans. When we are sick We send for
them, and hold our breath in dread
when they feel our pulse or examine
our tongue. They may pronounce
US Ill Of some deadly disease
but when the doctor fourishes his scalpel
or other implement Of his trade, and tells
citizens what is usurpation, what is
anarchy, and prescribes course OF peace
full riots, or a1nicable ostracism, we resume
our courage and compromise. We read
the diatribe Of Doctor Brickell, and will
not withhold the opinion that one may
believe 10 great force upon an aneurisr1,
or fungus namatodes, and yet show him
self an arrant empire upon the RESPONSE
bllity of o representative to the constitu-
ents who elect him, and to the principles
which govern Democratic Republic.

GOVERNOR KELLoGG's ELECTION.

MeSSES. ueioS ana OSteF say
The resolution recommending the recog
| milton of Governor kellgg is based upon
| general impression, not upon evidence. On
this point no testimony was taken either by
the committee or any part OF it.
=. But while taking no formal testimony
on this point, both Messrs. Phelps and
Foster, it is well known, held long con-
versations with prominent gentlemen in
timately familiar with the inside workings
of the election of 1872, who made important
revelations TO them. Mr.. Phelps, as well
as Mr.. Foster, assured Governor Kellogg
just before leaving that they were salts
fed he was fairly elected.
Messrs Hoar, Wheeler and Frye qUes-
ton o number Of Conservatives regarding
the election of 1872, and their conclusion
on the mater is thus unequiyocally ex-
pressed:
Oar best jud gment is that Governor hel-
logg was elected; We find that many of the
more moderate Of his opponents conce!e his
election. There is no argument to show the
election of McEnery which is not met by
one equally strong in proof OF the election
of Kellogg. The registration shows a cen
siderable majority of colored voters, and 1t
is not denied that Kellogg r. ceived substan
TALLY all the colored votes, besides some
thousand whites. Taking the Democratic
returns in 1872 for all the parishes except
four. for which the returns are conceded to
be forgeries, and six Others from which
they threw out the returns for trand and
violence and get at the true vote in those
parishes in any way you can-by canvassing
the vote with the registration of white and
colored voters, or by taking the Republican
and Democratic votes at the election of this
year, and it gives Kellogg majority Of
several thousand.

WHAT NEXT?

The BMldin notices the re-entry O
eight Democratic Senators with a ver'
mild suggestion CT the little value theil
services viii be, instead OF the violent
denunciation promised in earlier days
Under the sha dow of the convenient on
| dit, only u few remarks are ventured on.
| No thunderb oft from an overcast heaven
is held over the heads Of the misguided
ones. The Bulletia may have discovered
that Old Prob is o more reliable prophet,
and no longer believes with Glendower,
that the frame and huge foundation Of the
earth sbak'd at its advent. In speaking
| gently to the errirg ones, it intimates it
was not much OF a litter Of kittens after
all, but a1 event Of very little political
importance. It therefore aggravates its
voice and roars you as gently as any suck
ing dove.
Even the open surrender as the gentle
Bulletin says the people call it, was kindly
excused when the motive was understood
according to the Bulletin this motive was
the desire to prevent the passage Of the
appropriation bill If this was to be of
benefit to the State it does appear it
would have been commended, but as it
YVES, SO the Bulletin says they say, to gain
the Democratic point of an extra session,
no fault is to be found. 1t is not to save
money by staying away and drawing no
pay that it is to be approved, but by en-
tering to add to the States liabilities by
the expense of an extra session. Truly
not :: very patriotic motive for . legislator
even though it is approved by On c'l
But the appropriation bill passed, end
the sole commendable Involvement fer the
Democrats to stay having failed, is it tie |
opinion OF the Bulletin that they should |
only draw one days pay and 80 away |
again? Although the Bulletin says much |
stir was caused by their entry, it vas not
noticed by any one else; but how much
stir would their second exit cause?
The Senator's having a motive, being
thus let down SO easy into their proper
places, the question is what is to be said
to the forty-fve Representatives having
no motive to defeat the appropriation,
who have signed the adjustment. Are all
.he threats OF dire disaster to be repeated
% them, and the walls of wrath emptied
3n their heads? Not at all On 1T that
he people are firm, and are no. to be
,oaxed. Therefore all the Repsesen tatives
nave to do is not to coax them, but let
he Bulletin do it for them, and compla-
emily put their back pay where il will do
he most good.
One cause for very mild opposition to
heir return is that they will not be al
owed to repeal the police and election
AVS and the city park tax. Not word
) said about the measures Of city reform
'hich the people really desire They are
olerably well satisfied with the police,
ill regard the election law with =
Ivor when they come to vote, and GER
.inly have no desire to sacrifice the park
nd the half million already paid instead =
collecting the seventy-fve thousand
pillars next to be needed.
The spirits the Bulletin has called from y
lie Vastly grocery this time are of a very s
i'd ard diluted nature, much weaker Y

SO long as John A. Campbell, Gov
ernor Warmoth and men of their stamina
had charge of the Louisiana case the Or
binary congressional mind was involved
in a maze of doubt and uncertainty. But
the perspicuous presentation Of cur

secured prompt action, and decisive.

Reform has actually commenced in the
Democratic party. A club in st. Louis
passed one whereas" and two .resolu
tons" misunderstanding the disgraceful pro
ceedings at their late ward meetings. A
Democratic paper, the Republican, says:
Tho recent displays of rowdyism in the
Democratic primaries have aroused deep
seated feeling in the breasts of good citi-
zens, and suggested the importance Of
action for the purpose Of efscting reform"

Recently a man fell a depth OF 40 feet
into chasm in the Swiss mountains. He
was unhurt. His escape was attributed to
the miraculous intervention of q saint,
whose image he wore. One of the news

ment authorities have proceeded against
the newspaper for attacking the conscience
and morals of the public and for gross
and gratuitous insult to the persons pro-
