THE LEGISLATURE.

Last Monday, when the time arrived
for the organization of the Legislature,
there were present in the HOUSE, fifty
Democrats (three being ABSENT and
ffty-two Republicans Zone being alb
sent.) A motion was made and de-
clared carried viva voce to make Mr.. l..
A. Wilt, Democrat, temporary chair
man.. He took the chair. When the
move was made to elect the Speaker,
the Republicans wanted the votes coun-
ted or the ayes and nays called, so that
each individuals choice for Speaker
would DO formally expressed, and as
certained. The chairman refused TO
have any ayes and nays called until at
ter permanent organization. The Re-
publicans left the room, refusing to
take part in the election of a Speaker
in this manner In making their exit
an effort was made to stop them, with
a prospect of violence and bloodshed,
whereupon Mr.. Wilt called on Gen. De
Trobrand, q. s. Army, to clear the
lobby with Federal troops, which was
promptly done. En- passant, we think
this was a blunder on the part of Mr..
Wilt, from his political standpoint, in
calling for and using Federal troops as
police to assist in organizing or con-
Quoting the Legislature, and by such
action acknowledging that they were
proper instruments for such purpose.
But the prevention of bloodshed is a
moral reason sufficient to justify any
departure from political dogmatism. A
short time after the departure of the
Republican members, Speaker Wiltz
havingi in the meantime sworn in several
not returned by the Returning Board,
this same Gen. De Trobriand, who had
cleared the House at Mr.. Witt request,
re-entered with orders to clear it of all
not returned by the Returning Board.
Mr.. Witt protested, and when the or
der was being executed he advised the
body Of Democratic members to leave,
which they did, leaving the RepubIi-
cans in full possession. The latter
elected ex-Gov. Michael Hahn Speaker.
Gov. Hahn's little speech on the oeca-
sion we will publish next week. In re-
gard to him personally, he was elected
by the votes Of both Democrats and Re-
publicans in his parish (St. Charles,)
and is acknowledged on all sides to be
an honest, conscientious man, sincerely
and ardently DESTROYS of a~meliorating
the condition Of the State, and causing
harmony to exist between all classes
Of our mixed population.
The Senate was organized without
trouble; and the Governors message
was sent to both Houses.

Two or three years after the surrender
of the Confederate armies, he went to

years. The paper from which we take
the above facts, says:
Among other studies he sDent his idle
hours for fourteen years, in Washington
county, in studying the habits Of the
large red ant, common all over the State,
and then wrote a pamphlet giving the
results. 1T possesses the interest of a
novel. For this production he was
awarded costly gold medals by the Acad-
emies of Science both in Philadelphia
and Paris. His writing on the grasses
of Texas-its minerals and its agricul-
~ture-haVe been numerous and valuable.
For years he petitioned the Legislature
to abolish punishment in penitentiaries.
and substitute ennerchism as more eff
cacious.
In Mexico, he stated to Hon. John H.
Brown that for ffty-eight years, at day
light on each Christmas morning, he had
stood in the door, barefoot, in his night
