We print this morning the reply Of
Antoine, the Acting Governor Of
Louisiana, to the request OF Col.
Patton to give the Democrats
and \ Conservatives a representa-
tion In tho appointment Of clerks
of registration. The letter is a misera-
BILE evasion. The party leaders who
got It up, doubtless thought they had
prepared smart letter; but the docu-
ment Is simply impudent. and the poor
little negro. under whose signature it
was sent, has only been made to dis
grace himself aud his party. while te
has exhibited the depth Of humiliation
into which the Radical party has sunk

Those who read what the Republican
papers OF the North say about Mr.. La
mar. very clearly sec the absurdity Of
holding the Democrats who voted for
the Lord RESOLUTION responsible for the
Presidents illegal military order. 1t Is
true the President recites that resolu4
ton and claims to issue his order In Its
spirit. and, therefore, tbupders Of de-
nupeiation are hurled against every
Democrat who voted for the. resolu-
ton. How absurd Mr. Lamar's con
ciliatory course has been commended
all over the country. The very men
and journals which denounce Mr.. Lord
and the House have been most enthu-
piastic In their commendation of the
Missssippiab, and they never tire OF
telling us that IL oil the Southern peo-
pie will but follow his example and
move in his spirit we will be saved. But
we do not find that Mr.. Latnar's
speeches have made deeper impress
upon the hearts which throb under the
bloody shirt than did Mr.. Lords resolu.

In Mr.. Rapdall's speech on appro
priations, just before the close Of the
last session OF Congress. he shows how
difficult II was to secure desirable re-.
trenchments, In view OF the position oI
an opposing Senate. Another trouble
arose from the existence of n rule
which prevented the repeal or even
modification OF any law as to appro-
priations unless o-tbirds of the mem
bers assentod thereto. which number
the majority did not have. In thts con.
nectlon 1t Ia stated that no less than
10000 official servants receive pay d.
reotly from the Federal Treasury.
An additional impodiment in the way
Of retrenchment arose from rule
which relates to what Ia known as per.
manent. specific" and "permanent in
deflutte' appropriations. In some Of
It's operations the rule In question
works satisfactorily enough: in
others 1t leads to indefinite extrava.
gance. aud In all 1t shoule bd subjected
TO the annual supervisioff OF Congress.
About $1s.ooo,oo0 are expended under
these heads by executive officers. with
out the existence Of anything like an
effective check. .m..-.,4
The details furnished by Mr.. Randall
show that not q single reduction was
made In expenditures without the
earnest opposition OF the Republican
majority In the Senate. and complaints
from the White House that the opera
ton OF the Administration were de-
obstructed. MI
The following is n recapitulation Of
the appropriation bills: Estimates of
the departments for the year, $203, ,O99,-
