The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-02-02
The House VI. the Senate.

first Monday In January, our people ex-
pected great and immediate results from
the action OF their representatives, and
as nothing practical has been reached
so far, the structures both by the press
and the people have been as severe MS
they are unmerited. Since the opening
Of the session, the House has passed
twenty bills or joint resolutions OF gen.
cral interest, and the Senate not one.

where 1t properly belongs, and reserving

OF space, we give below a synopsis OF
