POLITICAL ON DIT.
Faith Of the Faithful.

foor Of the House Monday, working to tn,
best of his ability in support of the caucus
bill, wherein it is suggested to invest Gran
with the power Of suspending the writ O.
habeas corpus about election times, in South
ern States, inspired the faithful here with 6
pleasing reliance in the eventual passage o.
that measure.
They gleefully affirm that with Grant to dc
the suspending, Beckwith to issue warrants,
and Packard to execute them, Louisiana will
thereafter slide on in charming peace fo1
another decade or more; will be for that
period, if not longer, olissful region for the
carpet-bagger and a glorious heaven for the
niger.
With the matter thus in the hands Of the
Boss they feel delightfully."- serene, and the
utmost confidence touching the future per
vades the ranks.
The Appropriation Bill.
The Crowd expected the veto message yes
terday and the Crowd was rampant, and there
were loud threats of making Kellogg "pay
for his foolishness." They said that, of
course, if they neglected to pass general
appropriation he would be sick, and they
talked Of doing that same.
They think William ought to assume his
share of the responsibilities of the legislative
department of his government, and they
did not like his playing good boy when it
compelled them to enact the role of bad boys.
Kellogg's message, of course, preached re-
form, but the fact is well understood that
reform had nothing to do with it. Clinton, it
is alleged is q. the bottom of it,
The Crowd do not intend ssto give it up
So" They have worked too hard for the cash
and they intend to have it. 1t was asserted
that the loan which the bill authorizes has
already been negotiated and that as soon as it
was promulgated as a law the money would
be forthcoming.
1t was reported that if the bill did pass,
Williams objections to the contrary notwith-
standing, that sole Feel" would enjoin it,
The members, however, were mot afraid"
They promised to bring sole Feel up short if
he "tried on that game" and they had no
doubt that the bill to abolish the Superior
District Court would keep Hawkins straight
on the road he should travel
That is the way they talked before meeting,
and Hahn's boys talked loudest Of all, but
when it came to The issue, they came down
from their high position, at least large ma
jority of them did, and the veto was sus-
tanned.
For time this action seemed strange, but
it transpired that another bill was ready, and
that acting on the suggestion of Kellogg, |
those clauses Of which there was doubt of
constitutionality, had been amended SO as to
prevent accident in the event of Hawkins not
being frightened
The new bill also reduces the amount to
one hundred and thirty-eight thousand dol
lars. Reform of course Kellogg has saved
the State forty-two thousand dollars and the
Reformers in his Crowd have aided him, that
is, provided the new bill is not amended and
that an extra appropriation is not made before
the limited time of meeting ends.
The sheep Want to Come Back.
The action taken on the appropriation bill
yesterday in the House has utterly democrat |
lied the Kellogg Senate. They had hoped
for better things and thus to be deceived has |
aroused their ire ana they are rampant.
1t was reported last night that if PROPOSE
tons should be offered them from the Con-
servatives, looking to compromise, they
would be willing to leave Kellogg out in the
cold and scratch that article in the former
proposition screening Pitt from impeachment |
There can now be no doubt but what there
is general disposition to sacrifice Kellogg
on the altar Of his adopted State. There was
last night no desire on the part of many men,
bers of the Antoine Senate to hide their opin-
ions relative to the gubernatorial William.
They spoke freely of leaving him ont in the
cold, SO that the contingent expenses ~ could
be settled up.
That Bill.
Notwithstanding the fact that the veto of
Pitt was sustained in the House, a howl has
gone forth which will deepen into q roar
unless the unlucky wight who sits on the
needles hidden in the Executive chair finds
some means to stihe it. The plan had all
been arranged. Certain bankers Of this city,
they say, had entered into negotiations to {
cash the warrants issued under the appropri-
alton bill ut ninety-fve cents on the dollar,
and the members were jublant over the pros
poets, but the veto, and the vote in the House
knocked all that into pi. and now there are
saddened faces in the neighborhood Of the ST.
Louis Hotel. IL
Day Breaking.
Several dispatches were received here last
evening, by members Of our caucus, and for
ho ia puh1io |

and to considerably brighten the horizon.

The opposition in the caucus, in Congress,
