| NEW YORK, May lO.-Mr. Wheeler, of
the Congressional Louisiana Committee,
in letter in relation to the adjustment
of differences in that State effected under
the award of thnt committee, says there
Is class Of people who seem t0 have
expected that the adjustment was to in
augurate political millennium in Loui-
sinna; thnt henceforth that State was to
be wholly free from the friction which
attends the workings of political parties
elsewhere. This class will probably
pronounce the adjustment failure, for
undoubtedly party warfare will continue
to be waged in Louisiana very much rs
it is in New York and other States of the
Union. She will have her dishonest
officials and corrupt legislation, as other
States have, and she will for years to
| come stagger along under the load of her
| accumulated financial burdens, and her
obligations may Mt times go to protest
Louisiana, from her existence as q State,
has had an exceptionally stormy record
this condition of things arising from q
diversity of races md character in the
State, with almost unavoidable disturb
anccs growing out of the war, and the
upheaval and very foundations of labor
and society Is not to be changed in day
by any one act, however beneficial;
nevertheless, firmly believe that even
Louisiana has at last caught inspiration
| from the new order OF things, and that
exhausted as she is with tumult and vio-
lence, yet with q just government and
the education of her people-tho last
just now her greatest need-she will,
with steady but slow pnce, emerge from
what seemed to be her utterly helpless
condition. There is another GLASS who
will regard the adjustment as failure
those who sought in it simply partisan
advantages, without arregating anything
for the gentlemen who composed the
late Congressional Committee on South
ern Affairs, think. may safely claim
for them that they are not Of this class.
Regarding the allegation that one of
tho provisions of the adjustment has
already been violated by the Democrats,
Wheeler says he cannot subscribe to the
truth of this allegation; the arbtrntols
had nothing to do but to pass upon the
claims of the members and Senators who
should sign the agreement. OF course,
the award could affect no one else It
was merely advisory to the Republican
members of the General Assembly. 1t
could not and did not seek directly to
interfere with the rights of the members
then sitting, and who had certificates of
the Returning Board, but whose seats
were claimed by Democrats After the
Democrats left the House on the 4th of
january, and some time during the win
ter session, the Republicans unseated
