Why the Delay I.

We trust tho House will not permit
the scruples or the obstinacy Of any
man to delay its action in the matter of
the impeachment of men who have vio-
lated the laws, openly and wilfully.
The people demand action; prompt de-
cisive action, and the failure of the
House to apply the proper and the only
remedy to relieve the wrongs Of the
people, will find no justification or ex-
cuse with them. The time will yet come,
when any who now betray them will
be made distinctly to understand the
depth of their treachery. We call on
the people to ascertain who they are
and to mark them with their indigna.

~ any false or side issues, will bc thor
o,,pbly able 10 separate tho Democratic
from the Republican party, and will be
clad to consign the latter, II 1t can be
fairly done. to the perdition 1t so richly
deserves. The DEMOCRAT, in other words,
would have our party in the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES, 1T Washington not to
repeal or to touch the specie resumption
net. Tt would only be nm indispensable
act of folly to do 1t, while it Is useless to
repeat the reasons VIC have already
urged in support Of our opinions on SOY

stated above by our Mississippi contem-

We learn with deep regret and sorrow
that our esteemed friend, Mr.. A. O. Ian
dry, one of the attaches of the DEMOCRAT,
has Just suffered an irreparable loss In
the death of his youngest child--as
sweet and lovely little girl as evel
gladdened a fathers existence. Nc
words Of coincidence can assuagc
a grief like this; time alone can
temper It's poignancy. This world Is al
best but vale of tears, and we trust
that the afflicted parents Of this angelic
little being will find consolation i'm the
reflection that their darling child is now
forever exempt from the slfferings ano
anguish inseparable from mundane ex
~fstence

The Conference Committee.

We cannot too highly commend the
refusal OF the Conservative members of
the Conference Committee to listen for
a moment to the ridiculous proposition
of their Radical colleagues in reference
to the Returning Board.
Whatever may be the consequences OF
the failure of the committee to effect a
satisfactory settlement of the election
bill controversy, we at least enjoy the
satisfaction Of feeling and knowing that
our representatives are true to the
trust reposed in them, and are not to be
cheated by the cunning of INSCRIPTIONS

We were really delighted to receive
visit on Thursday from our old college
friend and comrade, Judge Farrar
who has earned the high and enviable re-
putation which his amiability, unfalter
ing courage and noble talents so conspic
uously promised in the earlier and hap
pier days Of our boyish friendship. We
were heartily glad TO grasp him 10y thu
hand and to talk of the days when the
world was in It's unclouded morning
We learn with the highest qualification
that there is no man In Louisiana more
thoroughly respected.

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE CURRENCY
OursTroN.-There are gratifying rumors
that the committee Of Democratic Con
gressrpen to whom has been confided
the currency question, will agree upon
d compromise plan for the reconcile
ment of the divisions Of the party on
that question. The true line OF conduct
for the Democracy, under the circum-
stances, is plain. For all tho evils OF
the present system, and the financial
distress which it has brought on the
country. the Radical party Is entirely
responsible. For the last fifteen years
