A DIFFERENCE.
The Rcpublican's special dispatch from
Washington, dated March -, SAYS:

The Senate Republican caucus agreed this
evening toa resolution indorsing tine action of
President Grant Ill Louisiana ar the most ac-
ceptable and appropriate form Of recognizing
the Kellogg government. The resolutions recog
nizing Gov Kellogg, but without indoraing the
President, would have passed if pressed To a
vote, but the form agreed upon was thought pre-
terable.
The resolution, as ii comes now before the
Senate, is in the following form
Reso,rei, That the Senate approves The action
heretofore TAX n by the President 81 the United
States III protecting Louisiana from dome site
violence, and IL OF the opinion that he should
continue to recognize in that state the existing
government.
This does not sanction the uSurpation nor
the judicial fraud on which it is based 1t
does not even do what the Senate had lust
refused to do in the case of Pinchback-:t
does not recognizs Kellogg as Governor II
merely precludes RADICAL members who
may vote for it from censuring
the President for having treated Kellogg As
Governor, and for sustaining him in his
usurped position. Even this is covered with
the implied necessity Of protecting Louisiana
from domestic violence" 1t amounts to
nothing more than Withholding of the CEN
sure of Radical Senators, since their silence
after the practical rejection of Pinchback
could only be construed as censure.
1t will be bad enough for members of the
higher House Of the Legislature of this great
republic to stultify themselves even to the
extent of this mild resolution. Each Senator
who tavors and records his vote for it Will, If
he lives five years, repent his vote in bitter
sorrow.

Hope for Louisiana.

Senator McCreery, of Kentucky closed his re-
cent great speech againstthe admission Of Pinch
back with the following eloquent and encoura ging
per ration:
The dial upon the wall may soon indicate the
hour at which one Of the States Of this Union is
DISTINGUISHED, the hour ut which the usurpations
ef Durell receive the full and complete ratiiica-
ton Of the American Senate. Before the deed is
done wish to ask Senators il they have carefully
examined the evidence collected by the Commit
tee on Privileges and Election, If they have aeri-
ou9ly considered the dark catalogue Of perjury
and forgery devel ped IN the volume and can
they give 1t the sanction OF their votes.

a GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL.

| The State, Parish and City Stipendiary Of
March Goth contains twelve columns of tax
collectors Sales all in the Fourth District, all
Of property seized by J. W. Fairfax, Tax
Collector, to satisfy tax debts due to the State
Of Louisiana. The advertisements are seventy
three in number, representing that number Of
separate sales The total amount OF taxes
due on the property 50 deliberately and largely
advertised is 92iSs, an average Of about Sd
each.
Several Of the bills are less than i've dol
lars and three properties are advertised at
length and separately for sale for taxes due
one dollar and forty five cents Each adver-
tisement Of forty lines is TO be published three
times 1t an expense Of ten or fifteen dollars
to the tax debtor. Costs, penalties, charges
and commissions will amount to halt as much
more on the smaller bills SO that the tax bill
Of one dollar and forty-hyc cents can be set
tied for about twenty dollars.
The purchasers at the tax sales are to be
put in Immediate possession. The present
owners have right of redemption for six
purchase price and all costs and charges, and
fifty per cent additional upon the price paid.
To put $500 into the State treasury for the
use Of usurpers costs penalties damages, in
t4rest, fees, commissions, etc, etc. are in
Cured BY owners Of the property to four,
five or six times the amount realized
The property advertised, if legitimately |
sold in open market after due advertisement
in papers which the people read, would not
bring more than one-half the amount for
which it is assessed, and for which it pays a
double city and State tax. Taken together
these seventy three lots Of property would
not rent for enough to pay taxes and insur-
lnce, leaving repairs and interest OH invest

Characteristic inecdote of Sheridan.

Apropos of Sheridan is an anecdote which
heard for the first time to-day. While he was
getting up his murder list gentleman wrote
Phi saying that he knew of most atrocious
murder committed in New Orleans, and that if
not out Of date he would furnish the name Of the
SnlIty party, who not only was never punished
bnt was not even arrested. Philip, not satisfied
with the slow course OF the mail. and knowing
that his dispatches are paid for by the Govern
me1t, replied over the wires for the gentleman
to forward his facts. Imagine the little fellows
disgust when he learned that his correspondent
referred to the murder Of Mumtord by benjamin
I. Butler. Of course that murder was ruled out

streets were startled about midnight by the
piercing cries of a female The latenes, Of
the hour made many hesitate about inquiring
into the cause but our informant states that
by the light of a distant street lamp could be
seen two negroes on horseback, and between
them woman. They were attempting to
lift her up on one Of the horses, but she strug-
ged and at last freed herself Chase was
given after the villains but they being mount
ed made their escape. Who these men were,
ana VINO the woman was, was impossible to
find out but all who saw the affair unite in
saying that there can be no doubt but what it
was an attempt to kidnap.
