PROLOGUE TO THE GREAT DRAMA

The address of Gen. Lamar, of Mississippi,
to the caucus of Democratic members OF the
House of Representatives, on Saturday, was
besides being very opportune, a very remarka-
BILE exposition of the views and purposes OF
the Democrats, not only of the House OF Rep
resentatives, but of the country at large AMI
every part of it. Before the end of the week
this eloquent and condensed vindication of
the anti-Radical party will have been read by
five millions of citizens, and whether the
Democrats who read it reside IN New
England, Illinois, California, Texas, or
Georgia. they will give to the author, as we
do, tribute of thanks and applause. Taken
in connection with the harmonious choice OF
a candidate for the speakership, and with the
graceful manner in which that position was
Welded to the West by Mr.. Randall and his
friends representing the East, it is token OF
the good will and solid unity of purpose
which we hope and believe will prevail among
the Democrats of the House throughout the
session now inaugurated. 1t is an omen of that
"sweepipg and thorough reform in civil ser
vice to which the orator refers. 1t is the pro-
logue of very stirring and remarkable drama
on the floor of the House, which has already
begun and which will close only with the ad-
tournament OF the session-a drama filled
with much noble action and eloquence, and
MANY exhibitions of passion. 1t is thorough
antidote to the partisan poisons which the
forthcoming message will doubtless contain
It arraigns for trial at the bar of the
House the Forty Uhousand) Thieves who
have been plundering the treasury of the
Republic. 1t is prelude to Investigations
that will lay bare the corruptions and iniqui-
ties of the reigning dynasty, investigations
which, al.holsh hey may have the effect of

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The State Convention, which will be held
next January, will pass upon questions OF the
greatest import to the people of Louisiana,
and it is of the utmost Importance that the
delegates elected thereto should be men OF
enlarged and liberal views, who will take no
action detrimental to the interests of their
party in the coming campaign. To the end
that good men may be selected as delegates, it
is necessary that there should be thorough
unanimity pervading our ranks. Old teuds
should be ignored, and no one should be con-
demned for his past opinions, provided they
were honestly entertained, and the conse-
quent action was taken, as was thought, for
the best interests Of the Democratic and Con-
sentative party.
Nothing should be done to cause dissenson,
but on the contrary every sacrifice should be
made to promote harmony. Petty ambitions
and strife should be laid aside for the COM
mon good.
Our enemies have been working zealously
to advance their interests in the coming cam
paign, aud past experience should teach our
people that if they wish to rid themselves OF
the incubus of Radicalism, which has pros
trated all the material interests of the State,
they must soon organize SO as to present
a united and determined front to the enemy.
We call upon our merchants and business
men generally to attend the primary elections
in the ward clubs. This need not interfere
with their usual avocations, and will be pro-
ductive of much good 1t is of vital import
ance that none but good men and true should
be sent to the State Convention, as on its ac-
ton will depend, in great measure, our sue
cess in the campaign of 1876.

1t is reported by telegraph from Washing
ton that Babcock's court of inquiry has been
conceded to him. 1t is to be composed of
Generals Sheridan, Hancock and Terry. These
gentlemen will direct the resources of their
brilliant Enthusiastically Sheridan their
knowledge of the science of the law, and their
experience of both rectilinear and multiangu
lar, to decision of the important gu estion
whether Gen. B4bcock's connection with the
ring was such as unfit him for the society of
officers and gentlemen. the conclusion to be
arrived at by the military court will
be of interest to public who are
anxious to know precisely how far an
officer and a gentleman may participate
in schemes of public plumber, but beyond
this the verdict will be of little importance.
Indeed the widest latitude may perhaps be
tolerated in such matters after the Com
mander-in. Chief himself has set the example
of persistent familiarity with persons accused
of infamous acts, and convicted, at least in
public estimation, of conspiracy and fraud
To declare that Babcock had forfeited his
claim to be regarded as gentleman, after the
Presidents amiable conduct toward Sheppard
and Harrington, two of the most notorious
ring men in the country, would be censure
on the chief of the Republican party, not to
say an act of gross disloyalty.
In the meantime however, the Attorney
General instructs the law officers at st. Louis
that their proceedings are not to be influenced
by the appointment of the military Court OF
Inquiry. The Attorney General seems to care
very little what Gen. Sheridan and his
colleagues may think of Gen. Babcock's con-
duct and of his relations with the whisky ring.
But, then, of what use is the Court of In
quiry? If Babcock is an officer and gentle
man in spite of 'tcrooked whisky" why
should the Attorney General be SO cruel as to
prosecute him for trihing violation of law
which appears to have been contrived ex-
pressly in order that officers and gentlemen
and familars and intim .tes of the President
might turn an honest penny by violating il?
Mr.. Pierrepont is clearly too sensitive. He
evidently does not understand the first duty
of mem Der of Grants Cabinet. He is guilty
of the folly of supposing that the President is
to be taken literally when he declares that NJ
guilty person shall escape. He will learn
more discretion if he re mains in the Cabinet.

to the then disturbed State OF our political
affairs and other causes, they intermitted their
usual PROFESSIONS ana balls for which thought
full and considerate action they received gen.

since then, but the political sky is clearer and
brighter, and we earnestly hope that these
mystic associations will conclude TO oenght

and attractive exhibitions.

The proposed repeal of the tax on
matches-1 cent box, which last year
yielded So, 800, OO0-seems to us very
foolish thing to do. Perhaps there is
no tax more easily collected or less felt
by the public To throw away two and
a half millions of revenue derived from
this source at this time, when the Treas
ury is running empty and the Secretary
is devising new sources of income, must
strike the country as a great blunder.
Perhaps there is something behind not
visible to thespublic eye which furnishes
a reason for this strange action. One
thing is very certain, the repeal OF the
tax will not benefit consumers, as they
will continue to pay 5 cents per box of
100 matches as heretofore. The man
ufaoturers Will pocket the cent box of
repealed tax; the Government viii lose
the revenue derived therefrom; while
the public will continue to pay 1t as be-
fore. Is there an understanding be-
tween the Ways and Means Committee
and the natch-mahers ?-Chacdgo Irab-

Our Madison special gives lengthy
abstract of the bill prepared by the Rail
road Commissioners to perfect the legis-
lation of last winter. Its Importance is
SO great that it deserves to be made the
subject of more consideration than we
can now give it. 1t will be seen that the
leading principle of the bill is to allow
railroads to earn 10 per cent, and no
more, upon the appraised value Of their
property. This, with stringent provis-
ions against Determinations, with a cheap
and prompt remedy for persons who may
suffer grievances at the hands Of these
corporations, and with the wholesome
regulations established by the bill,
seems to promise perfect security against
extoration and other sources of COM
plant and full justice to the stockholders
of railroads. That the people will
accept it as perfectly satisfactory meas
ure there can be little doubt, and we
hope that the railroads will see the wis
dom of making no opposition to It,
