WASHINGTON, January 6, 1875.
The crankin Laundalet Williams Outrage
Mill. which was 50 eilectualiy broken by last
Falls elections, would seem to have been re-
placed by much stronger and effective iustTu-
meut, forged ia lhe furnace Of Bldical Fury.
Goajed u the quick at the sight not to itself
alone, but to the entire country of its rapidly
waning power, the administration party in
last attempt TO gain anew It's influence, seeks,
by repeated insults to the people Of single
State, TO force the South into a second conflict
IL reasons well that if Louisiana rebels, all her
Southern sisters will support her, aud thus
plunged anew in bloodshed, one great call will
be made for the Saviour Of bis Country. From
the Executive Char Grant, with a Republican
Congress at his back will take again the field
against Insurrecti0n, and with the United
States Treasury for support, will certainly
win. Back, again, from so signal a triumph,
the plaudits Of the othce-ho and other
dragsletails will proclaim him their President
forever This is DO idle hrain-hucy, but
tie opinion Of not afew calm, diSplssonaIe
lookers-Cn to-day Grant sees 10 chance for a
perpetual Term, save in Civil War, and he is
going 10 have it 1t has been predicted that
before the 4th of March, next, Civil strife will
be wagei in the Cotton States We shall see.
Bloody Phil Sheridan brings 10 his work IL
Louisiana the same coarse brutality he has
been wont to exercise in dealing with the in
dams, aud with keen oilctory nerve declares
the very air Of the Crescent City, TO be i'm
/ pregna;ed with awlessness. Poor Louisiana
I Thy cbaIice, filled TO overlooking is placed at
/ Thy lips. and thou needs must drain it to the
4 D.. Il. Lot 10 a
morning On Senator Humans resolution Of
enquiry regarding ouisiana, excited more in
/ terest 10 the galleries than any other event Of
/ the present session. As soon as il was noised
1 through the halls that such resolution had
/ been offered and was being discussed, people
gathered rapidly and the empty galleries soon
became filled. The remark of Senator Sluls-
bury that if the President constituted himself a
/ Cesar, the people Of America would tear his
robes from HIM, brought Mr. Logan to his feet
who said that such utteranCes carried him
back to the days Of the beginning Ct the rebel
| lion, when they were common IN the Senate
chamber. Indeed, all through the week, in
tense excitement has prevailed among the
croYdson attendance in the galleries Of Con-
/ gress, so much so, that the police were called
on to maintain order.
KaakauA is now trying to enjoy himSe' at
TIE Hub. This is doubtless very uncertain
enjoyment, for his entertainers in a proper
spirit Of rebuke Of the uudgniied manner in
which the festive New York alderman lived
him, are treating that diguitary to a protractcd
round Of invitations 10 the grammar schools
reform schools, hospitals, asylums, and other
educational, corrective, and charitable institu-
tious upon which the Hub prides itself. Prince
David declares that it is mighty instructive
but that it is rather long between drinks -
. The CauIbals' visit 10 this country seems tC
have been more to advertise his desired recipro-
city treaty with this government than 10 ar
range details himself While here he had nc
consultations in the way Of making agreements
on the subject with our officials He has
however, given the two special commissioners
Messrs. Carter and Allen, full power to con-
summate the proposed treaty, and any actor
they may take will be ratified by his Majesty:
government. Our Royal friend leaves foT
home about the 18th of this month, taking il
our northern cities on his return trip.
Mr.. 5. L. Phelps has been nominated Com
missioner Of the District Government to Gil thC
