A new apportlonment bill, based on
the State census of Louisiana, was
signed by Governor Kellogg yesterday.
1t leaves the Senate as at present, but
gives the Republican parishes seven or
eight additional representatives in the

In the Senate of Virginia yesterday

Elections made voluminous report

This case has interested and excited

The daily gazette., 1876-02-01

The Old Radical Abolition Party cap
tured the old Whig Party and then the
name was changed to the Republican
Party; but the old fanatical Abolitionists
controlled the machine. When the war
was over the leaders OF TIE Old Abo-
hilton party were sent down South to
govern the States by the help of the
supposed to be honest but they proved
negroes. These old Abolition leaders were
to be the greatest villains that ever OK
sted in the country. The negroes were
willing to follow their advice, ana yet
every State was plundered. The South
having been furnished with euch sample,
of Northern Radical Republican honesty
must have horrid idea of the morals in
the North. Grant says he solicited the
best men from the army and from civil
life for appointment. They too have
proved, in many instances, the most
malicious scoundrels. Then if we look
to the North for honesty there in Office,
what there meets our viewf Daily
some rascal is turned up as q defaulter,
post Office robber or swindler at the Gus
tom House. Never was there such a cor.
rupt party as has succeeded the old Whig
Party, whose these self-styled higher
law saints were always talking about
morality. The truth is they were inf
dels who discarded the Bible and its
teachings and they sunk to depth of
infamy only equaled by many of the
leaders Of the French Revolution. In
fact they followed the French in making
saint of one Of the worst characters that
the war excitement threw upon the sur
face; and many Of them sung hymns Of
praise to Old John Brown, guilty as he
was of all that tends to make a man
dangerous and terrible. No wonder many
these vile leaders want to let by-gsnes of
be by-gones and forget the past. They
are liable for all that has befallen the
nation sirce they disregarded its written
and well established organic laws and
plunged it into ruin and disaster to satis-
ty their hatred, malice and revenge. 1t is
to these people and to this spirit that
Morton is now appealing. He is urged
on by such characters as Geo. William
Curtis and such publications as Harpers'
Weekly, whose course is emulated in Del
aware by the Milford Nevs and its office
holding editors, Prettyman and David
son, both old Abolitionists and both cor
moralts upon the government to the
tune of about $4,000 annually.

Congress Yesterday.

In the Senate, yesterday a large
number of local and private bills were
introduced and referred, after which
the bill for the payment of the interest
on the 1865 bonds of the District OF
Columbia was discussed at length, but
without action the matter was laid
over until to-day, Mr.. Morton indi-
Gated his purpose to call up his reso-
lutions in regard to the Mississippi
election as soon as the District bond
bill was disposed of, but Mr. Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, said he hoped he
would not as it was his (Cameron's)
purpose to call up the centennial ap.
preparation bill as soon as the bill now
before the Senate was finished.
Ia the House, a resolution was adop-
ted directing the committee on the
District of Columbia to investigate
certain charges of alleged mismanage-
ment of District affairs by the COM
missioners. A resolution was adopted
instructing the judiciary to inquire
whether certain railroads which have
enjoyed government subsidies have
violated the franchises. The House
refused to suspend the rules and
adopt resolution offered by Mr.. Page,
of California, strongly denunciatory of
the Mormons. The Military Academy
appropriation bill was passed without
further amendment. The bill fixes the
pay of cadets at s54O, without rations.
A large number of bills of an unim-
portant character were presented and
referred.

ed The doctrine of protection. but sub-
sequent reflection and study have sat
lshed me of my error. In nv Dresent
view the doctrine is unsound in prin-
clple as it must necessarily be iniuri-
Gus in practice. To tax a whole peo-
pie, not for the purpose of raising
revenue for the support of their gov.
ernment, but to enrich a few by en-.
aplng them to engage in business
winch cannot support itself without
ln1uring others, would seem to be SO
obviously wrong as TO need no reason.
ing to demonstrate it. If to tax for
their benefit is right and expedient,
then 1t would be equally right and
exPeoient 10 assist them by pecuniary
bounties: And yet suppose that no
one would contend that 10 do this las,
would be proper or even constitution
al. The theory itself is at war with
enlightened civilization OF the day
and cannot fail soon to become obso.

free government is to despo.ism.
