The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-02-20

When the Republican, the organ OF
the Kellogg administration repudiates
the Wheeler compromise as cover
ing his case, how can any Conservative
member Of the Legislature, or Conserva-
tive citizen. not Of the Legislature, now
pretend to set up the compromise as
having the effect to condemn Kellogg's
criminal acts. or course the Legisla-
ture cannot exercise the pardoning
power All that it could do was. for
itself, to consent to an agreement over
looking Mr.. Kellogg's political offenses
anterior to certain date. We would
advise every person who has any doubt
upon the subject to read the following
commentary from the New York World.

any extreme movement in louisiana:

no loss thereby, there have been fro

removal Of Dibble, Acting Attorney
General when the funds were diverted

splrators: Governor Kellogg admits

New Orleans Bar Association.

At a meeting Of this Association, held

Hunt--in the absence Of the President

United States Circuit Court-in the

lutions, offered by Mr.. Forman, were

preme Court; and

The Dudcnhefcr Case.

It will not do in the sense either OF
fact or morals, to ascrihe the extraOrdi-
nary verdict of the jury in the Circuit
Court Of the United States on Thursday
last to political motives of any kind,
unless strictly Republican. The officials
who selected the jury were Republicans,
the verdict, in defiance OF the law and
the evidence, was plainly Republican,
and the Judge of the United States who
rebuked the jury and dismissed
them as unworthy to sit
in other cases during the
term, was q Republican. The general
impression is that none of the jury had
any very fixed and prejudiced opinions
on any political subject The truth is
that it is useless to talk Of the character
of juries, or the effect of such verdicts at
all, except to defend both the laws and
the morals of the community from the
inevitable decentralization attending the
loss of confidence In the jury system,
deemed the very bulwark Of true freedom
in this country. We have already publish
ed the language which Judge Woods
held when summoning the Dudenheffer
jury the next day into the courtroom, he
administered to the jurymen an unhesi-
tating and bitter rebuke, and discharged
them from all further participation in
the administration of justice in his
court. This is enough and is quite con-
elusive without more words.
We agree with our able and respected
friend, the Bee, that the present mode
of selecting jurors is reprehensible and

the highly interesting subject of the
commercial trade Of the Mississippi
Valley, via New Orleans, with Europe

Editors Democrat Please insert the
following extract from the Republican
of Tuesday:
The same party which claims to have
condoned, by way of bargain, all the
official acts of Gov. Kellogg up to the
end Of the last legislative season, now
arraign him for similar offenses with
the avowed purpose of getting his office.
The public abroad must form a high
opinion of the political morality Of the
Democracy. They have published the
expressions Of this people as sc intolcr-
able that men were exasperated to at.
tempts to assassinate the "usurper. J"
An organized revolution overthrow the
State government, and the organs OF the
Democracy teemed with the most afro
cious imputations upon the Republican
executive.
Suddenly, and by compromise, all
this ceased. The Governor wis pardOned
for all that he was alleged to have done.
All "the midnight orders Of drunken
Judge" were forgiven. All " the fright
full frauds" Of a returning board were
ignored. The shameful admission was
made that this abandonment OF .ttd-
rinnt charges was made in considera-
ton of Democratic majority in the
House Of Representatives. Ii this be
not an admission of bargain and corrup-
ton, we know not what constitutes such
an admission. The Republicans deny any
such contract. They do not ask that The
Erecutiue SHAH be eEempt from me obi
cations Of lar. They hnoD there is no
pOrer TO so exempt him.

ton placed on the Wheeler adjustment

the work of our organized charities
every person, on this happy Christmas
day, should resolve himself or herself
into charitable association of one to 90
about doing good, feeding those that
hunger, bestowing rsiment and provid-
ing work. There are homes-if we may
be psrdoned for calling them homes
in this city on whose darkened walls
the cheerful light of a Christmas fire
Is not dancing to-day, and inside of
them pinched and shiveriug little
ones pine and suffer there. II makes
the heart bleed to think that there can
be such a childhood in this Christian
land. And what do these little ones
know of Christmas gifts and Christmas
toys, which are so delightful to the
childish mind? All they know of Christ
mas is that it brings them more piercing
cold, sharper hunger and greater suffer
ing. Toys! The wan eyes may have
gazed wonderingly on such things in a
store window, but the nervous fingers
would tremble to touch them. They
seem TO them to be rs far removed as
the bright stars in heaven. If the money
yos expended in decorating your church
to day, had been expended In contribute
ing TO the comfort and happiness ofthese
poor children, might not the Re-
cording Angel have written the
deed down in larger and brighter
letters2 On to.night-Christmas night
should it be bleak and cold, these unpro.
vided for children seek the comparative
warmth of a nest in unwho!esome straw
and cry themselves to sleep to forget the
gnswing of hunger, while your happier
little ones will throng about their glitter
ing Christmas trees, singing and dancing,
fessting and romping, until they drop,
tired out with fun and frolic, into their
warm bed
Will the gay crowds who throng our
streets to-day, happy and hopeful, spare
a thought to the ssdder Christmas pic
ture we havelendeaVored to paint? Will
mothers and fathers, rich in the blessed
gift of healthy, loving children, pause tor
an instant in their holiday pleasures to
reflect how many little creatures are
hungry, sad and neglected in this sea-
son of Christian love? If they
do we cannot doubt that some
few of the sufferers will find ut
east temporary sunbeam piercing the
loom of their darkened lives, and as
,hey clasp the hand of Charity, will bless
COP that CHRIST was born to teach
fallen humanity that the shortest way TO
elevate our msrsi nature is TO initiate the
example He gave us in ''going about end
doing good"
