SIGNS CT RESUMPTION ,

The indications yesterday were favor
able to partial return to common sense
| on the part Of the Democracy, and re-
sumption Of legislative business with a
fair, if no. quite full, number of Repre-
sentatiVe5 il the House. The $3.50 which
await each member is something of a
temptation to the representatives of an
impoverished people. This little sum,
offered as q Standing bride to the men,
bers by the State Itself, is pleading power
fully in the interests of good order and
decency, and may help US to win the VIC
tory yet, in spite Of the Clay Statue meet
ing, the Committee of Seventy and the
Gravier street weeper Probably before
this week is out enough members will re-
turn to their duty to satisfy the most IN
reasonable that The House has quorum.
As the chances for 'compromise" grow
stronger, the Times grows weaker on it's
favorite hobby. Courage, young friends
This is no time TO wayer or hedge. The
Picayune stands up manfully to what its
editors believe to be right, without being
at al afraid OF the intimidators.
It is true there is very little compromise
involved in determination OF the Con-
sentative members to throw Of their
chains and proclaim t5eir freedam, but if
it will assist them any to have it called
such on the street We have no objection
The matter is essential. The form is of
secondary importance. We hope to see
them back in good force in day or two,
when of course the Times will merrily
twitter, "We did itH' The Picayuns and
REPUBLICAN ought to be magnanimous
for once and let our new guests make a
little reputation for itself in that way. The
older papers can afford to do this much.
We are not sur the &c, though.

RETURNING MEMBERS.

The adjustment adopted by the Con.
sentative members consists Of two propo.
sitions:
l. That those members to whose ap-
pointment no objection has been made
shall take their seats in the Legislature,
and that an agreed umpire shall inves-
tigate any Question in regard to the
qualifications of any whose certificates
may be contested.
2. That no factious proceedings will
be taken with respect to the legality of
the present State government.
Separate these propositions, and there
would seem to be no valid objection to
them which could be raised by out
side parties. Analyze the first, and
it will be seen that there can be far less
objection to any member taking an IN
disputed seat.
But there is great party objection to this
recognition of the "Kellogg usurpation."
It must be remembered that the late cleo
ton has been auth orized and conducted
under law passed by the very Lsgisla-
ture and executive now denounced as
usurpation. We heard the same terms APP
piled to the last Legislature as to the
present; the Conservative members who
took their seats have been censured just
as those who now propose to do the same
thing. Yet we have found Conservative
candidates and Conservative members
elect with Hon. lr. Wilt taking seats and
holding or conten ding for commissions,
granted under the seal of the State and
signature Of Kellogg. There have been
certificates of election granted by the
same formal authority to members elect
of Congress and to the city adnlinistra-
ton. Not one OF these candidates or
commissioned representatives has de-
clined to exercise the functions thereby
imposed upon them. We might add the
payment Of taxes and enforcement of debt
in courts appointed under the ''usurpa-
ton" All Of these facts prove that the
present State government has been ac-
knowledged as legal. It further shows
that some Of the men most prominent in
proclaiming it usurpation, and in de-
nouncing others for accepting its author
ity, have themselves acknowledged the
same by applying for Or accepting Office
under its sanction.
It is to be hoped thai before demanding
that the members elect shall never &C
knowledge the authority Of the State gov
errment, their leaders may repudiate
their own acknowledgment and renounce
the Offices which they hold under it.

when 1t was against him; would say he was
q valusble acquisition to the Democratic
party as member of campaign committee;
never knew Of fraud authorized by that
committee; it was the belief that WarmOth
az Governor could influence the colored
was the belief that if III election machinery
IN his hands were used against the Dcino-
cratic party it would insure their defeas
| that caused them to secure its use by
his assistance.
Here is an admission by an eminent
Fusionist, who stood side by side with
Messrs. McEnery, Penn, Ogden and
others, that an alliance was made with
an officer who was responsible ''for most
Of the corrupt legislation whose course
had ''not commended itself to the honest
people" whose political course had been
condemned By nine-tenths Of the people,
who had, in opinion Of the witness, in
every instance changed the result fifty per
cent of the election; ''would say he was
valuable acquisition to the Democratic
party believed that he could influence
the colored vote, and that ''the election
machinery in his hands" could insure the
defeat OF the Democracy; twas Of opinion
that he (Warmoth) was entitled to the
nomination (for the Senate) for his ser
vices"
We wish any one OF the members elect
who may, in the words Of the Representa-
tive from the parish of jackson, believe
that what they do "will ultimately re-
dound to the salvation of Louisiana" to
read this testimony. We wish them to
remember the many, many compromises
offered by those who led the meeting at
Clay Statue. We hope they will not for
get that in the fusion and union with
Warmoth they likewise bestowed their
votes upon Greeley, a man who was op-
posed to every single principle the South
ern Democrat processes, and who gave no.
tice that in accepting their support he had
no word to take back in favor of abolition
or protection. In remembering the sacri-
fees ofprinciple to expe diency which has
marked the whole political biography of
these leaders, the members elect will find
that if from considerations of party e1pe-
diency they have committed themselves to
a measure OF compromise, these leaders
are the very last men in America who can
cast stone at them for having done so.

unanimously spurned the profered bride.
There was lively turning over of statutes
and a perfect shower Of questions pro-
pounded to legal gentlemen for opinions.
At one time there was fair prospect of
sending the whole Republican party to
the Penitentiary for violating the bribery
act. Some Of our Oldest lawyers gave it
as their opinion that our statutes Go not
provide penalties for bribery, which, how.
ever, was better explained by some Of the
counsel in the late case OF the State VS..
Levy, who has, it seems, been addicted to
reading the laws passed since 1860. He
gave his opinion, however, and sighed as
he gave it, that as the courts are Tow
constituted it would be next to impos-
sible to convict person accused
OF bribing member of the General As
sembly to attend its sessions. The State
itself has set the Ubiquitous example of
making standing offer of eight dollars a
day, Sundays included; for members to go
to work on the reforms they have con-
tracted to accomplish. This little sum of
$3.50 is yet held up as temptation SO
strong that he thought none but the most
virtuous OR obstinate could resist it much
longer. Thus, in the lingo, Louisiana is
holding out a bride to Louisiana to come
and crush out the liberties of Louisiana.
The reader will understand thereare great
many Louisianas here. The Picoyuae has
one of it's own; the Times claims to have
the seinblance Of one; the Bulletin has an
exceedingly small one-a mere dwarf,
while the Republican party owns nearly
three-ifths Of the real article. If the
people of Louisiana are to be sold into
bondage by standing offer OF eight dol
lars day, there is nothing left for the
Bulletin but to weep and wall over the loss
Of everything save honor; for, according
to IFS own theory, the bribery laws can
not be changed till this sale is consum-
mated and the TRAITORS return to their
DUTY
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-02-09

There was very lively scene Of howl
ing among the Democratic wolves, as the
gentle Bulletin now designates ''the PED
pies representatives" at Deutsche Com
pany Hall yesterday. There was not the
most amiable feeling manifested toward
the Committee Of Seventy for their I'M
warranted intermeddling in affairs which
Go not specially concern them. In reply
to the demand of the subcommittee of
three that the resolution adopted on Fri
day be sent to them for review and ap-
proval or disapproval, ono member re-
marked that he had no objection to giving
the committee all needed information "as
citizens" This looks as though he in
tended to deny to this body of respectable
old fossils the authority they claim to ex-
ercise. Another irreverent member re-
ferred to them as ''the disturbing body
here" Mr.. Bower was Justly indignant
that his name had been held up in derision
by the speakers at the Saturday night
meeting as one to be hanged. He thought
the speakers were ungentlemanly in their
treatment OF him. When Mr.. Bower has
suffered from ostracism as long as the Re
publicans have, he will. cease to mind
these little political amenities, and submit
to be hanged every week Or two, as cells
become used to being skinned and come
to look for it.
1t is about an even bet whether indig-
nation or fear was the prevailing sensa-
ton at this meeting. Many of the MEM
bers showed symptoms of covering be-
fore the threatened party lash. Some Of
them will probably sneak back into the
corral and protest they were Only joking
when they voted for the resolution on
Friday. Every one of them knew he
would have right, under parliamentary
rules, to move for rec onsideration, and
number of them showed disposition
to do SO. One of the bewildered MEM
bers, after declaring that Louisiana is
bleeding at every pore, - asked to be ex-
cused from voting, as the best means
probably of staunching the effusion.
The general sentiment of the caucus
was, however, decidedly adverse to the
dictation Of the Clay statue meeting. the
Committee of Seventy, Or, rather, twenty
five, for that was all that could be
drummed up on the great occasion, and
the Bulletin, with its chronic squeaIing in
the name of Louisiana. Harmony in that
crowd has gone, and the old time dissen-
sions were brought to the front. The
quarrel will probably result in advantage
to the State, as it will dissolve combina-
ton Of factious politicians who have nearly
starved themselves and friends in the vain
andeavor to freeze out the Republican
party.

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.

The little world which at present con.
tains about all there is Of ''poor Louisi-
ana, according to the Last Ditcher's re-
strlcted definition, was thrown into ter
rible futter yesterday. The CRY of bribery
and corruption was raised as a forlorn
hope against the mutiny of Deutsche

have been offered the striking members.

EXpEDIENCY,

The denunciation Of the members elect
who propose to take their seats in the
Legislature is sanctioned by Messrs. Nc
Emery and other members of the Fusion
party Of 1872. They impute the most
unworthy motives to those who for any
consideration Of party or personal advan-
tage would sanction the recognition of a
"usurper," or defeat the plans of inter-
vention by the people Of the United States
in setting aside the usurpation. People
have different ideas OF expediency, and
perhaps the members arraigned have an
idea that they can better secure this COM
mon object by going into the Legislature
than by keeping out. Perhaps, however,
some people have an exclusive right to de-
termine what is expedient.
Mr.. E. A. Burke testified as follows be-
fore the congressional committee:
There were the Fusion and the Reform tick.
cts in 1872; was favored by Warmoth; did
not vote for VarmOth for Senator: favored
him not because he was honest and not an
adventurer, but because he was a political
coadjutOr; he had stumped the State e.
and rendered services to the party, was
Republican and was entitled TO the.nomina-
ton for his services; mos, of the mt
legislation raS under his administration hls
political course had been condemned by
nine tenths of the people; think he had been
uniustly condemned in some instances; his
course had not commended itself to the hon
est people OF the State; nevertheless be-
ieyed he should have been elected;
it does make d difference whether
the political scoundrel was q Democrat or
Republican; supported him for the same
reason that l would support Grant for a
third term-to relieve the State of Louisiana
from oppression; accepted him when he
came into the Liberal party; do not know
that there were frauds in the election Of

stance changed the result fifty per cert

MIR. Pinchback's Prospects.

By reference to our Geographic columns
it will be seen that there is a prospect Of
speedy settlement Of Hon. P. b. s. Pinch
backs claim to seat in the United States
Senate, which vll ODsbly result in his
favor, and settle also the validity of the
present State government. The report OF
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections, submitted by Mr.. Morton, recog.
nizes the election Of Mr.. Pinchback to
serve six years, from March 4, 1873. The
report was signed by . majority Of the
COMMITTEES present, and includes resolu-
ton seating Mr.. Pinchback without delay:
The question must now be equarely and
promptly met, and We have no fear for the
result.
