Mr.. Gratiot Washburne, who has Just
been promoted from the Second Score.
taryship Of the American Legation al
Paris to the First Secretaryship al
st. Petersburg, was recently in New
York on leave of ABSENCE and what
does the world suppose his business
here was The following advertisement
from the New York Clipper Of Oct. 80,
1875, will show:

"GRATIOT WASHBURNE.
No. II East Fifteenth street, New York.
Up to November rs"
Upon inquiry we learn that Mr.. Wash
burne's exertions were not confined to
the engagement Of bareback riders,
male and female, but extended to the
brute creation also; and we presume
that No. IA East Fifteenth street must
have been during the young diplomats
sojourn there an uncommonly lively place
OF residence. Well, buying animals and
hiring bare back riders is not SO bad a
business after all as selling an empty
mine; but is it just the thing for the
Great American Circus to carry on its
operations at the expense Of the State
And what will they say In
st. Petersburg when they know that the
new Secretary OF Legation Is circus
agent? We hope the Gar does not take

MIR. COXS'S AMENDMENT.

We observe by the Congressional
Record, that Mr.. Cox introduced very
important amendment In Congress from
the Committee on Rules, which was
fought with great pertinacity by tho
Radical leaders, but which will have the
effect to allow the House TO reduce OK
penditures and salaries. Hereto
fore tho appropriation bills under
Radical rule have boon loaded,
as 1t were. with the spells and plumber
Of all those able from rings or monopo-
listic combinations to carry their
schemes for robbing the public treasury.
The rules Of the House, by n strange
invitation to expenditure and extrava-
gance, II not downright theft, would not
allow Of reductions or retrenchment,
but permitted and In the nature of
things encouraged an increase In such
items Of appropriation as the speculative
jobbers and politicians Of the Republi-
can party might choose to utilize for
these purposes. In other words, there
Is no doubt that the rulos Us they have
been standing for years past favored
prodigality and not economy, and that
the country has been robbed OF hun
lreds OF millions OF dollars by them. In
the Army and Navy Department, In the
Indian and In other bureaus, the
people have been made to con-
tribute almost uncounted wealth
to men who have been but little better
in their intentions and pursuits than
highwaymen. At last, however, there
Is an opportunity In Democratic ma
jority for needed reform and for an
abatement OF this costly and terrible
machinery constructed by tho Repub-
lican party in the House for the benefit,
as our past history clearly shows, OF Re-
publican plunderers both In and out Of
the House.
Mr.. Cox 8 amendment was passed by
a strict party vote, and tho Republicans,
or Radicals, In Congress proved them
selves, in their loud howlings against tho
amendment, and desperate efforts to de-
feat it, by all their wiles, In solid body,
to DO the friends OF the rings and monop-
olists Of the country, who regard the
taxpayers MS SO many pack-horses bear
ing burdens for their use.

Of the Steamship Pacific, and sister

REPUBLICAN DISSATISFACTION.

The color line Is rapidly being drawn
In the very ranks of the Radical party.
The white element Of the party has be-
come Disguised with their black allies,
and are manifesting disposition to
display some respect for a decent public
opinion and the blacks have opened q
war Of ferocious denunciation upon
them. We have noticed the persecu-
ton Of Senators Blackburn, Greene and
Alexander by some OF the negro Sena-
t,rs, because they ignored Pinchback
and voted for Eustis. And now the bat
tie Is thickening. Saturday Murrell,
the colored Representative from Carroll,
after asking for committee Of investi-
CATION to investigate a charge against
himselffor having bribed jury In Rich
land parish, declared that the charge
was false, and "put-up job" by old
John Ray" somewhat notorious in this
State as leading white Radical,
and one Of the North Louisiana and
Texas railroad ring The irate Murrell
declared that the charge had been
trumped up, because he had deter
mined to have some investigating done
himself, which would expose Judge
Ludeling, the Chief Justice Of Louisiana,
who had stolen railroad, cross ties and
all, and whom the Supreme Court of
the United States had shown up in such
dirty colors." We can't take great
deal OF stock in the coperas-colored
member from Carroll, but he seems to
be on the right track this time. Brethren
should dwell together in amity; but il
one OF the brethren has bribed Rich-
land jury, and another has stolen a
whole railroad, we fear that at the little
| love feast Of the party which is prepar.

THE KATIE. From the officers OF the
steamer Utah, that arrived last night,
we learned that tho steamer Katie had,
during tho fog which prevailed yester-
day morning and while she was floating
down with tho current, drifted into the
Bonnet Care carevasse. Up to 4p. m.
yesterday, when the Utah passed, she
was still unable to extricate herself.
The Utah left the r. II. Lee ut the Gre
vase, prepared to render any assistance
necessary. We expect to see both tho
Katie and Leo at the landing this morn

fervor the grasp Of New Orleans. The
sentiment In favor OF common and
thorough cooperation, from one end Of
the State to the other, Is clearly mani.
tested by the press. Without a single
exception, that we have seen, the Con.
sentative journals endorse the re.
cent convention without reservation,
and regard the Memorial, Address
and Resolutions unanimously adopted
by 1t, as the proper ground on which to
marshal the Conservative masses OF the
State, in organizing and struggling for
a browning victory over radicalism and
usurpation. From Union and Claiborne
parishes on the north, to Plaquemines
and Terrebonne on the south, from st.
Bernard and st. Tammany on the east,
to Caddo and DeSoto on the west, every
man Of Conservative instincts, If one
may judge from the papers, private let
tiers and public meetings, seems to have
assumed the words, the "Emancipa-
ton Of louisiana" with all the ardor
OF religious zeal, and to be prepared
with more devotion than the Crusaders
OF old in their rescue Of the Holy places
In Palestine from the deflling Turks,
to rescue Louisiana from spo-

from w. w. Holden. IL former Gre-earing
governor Of North Carolina, who having
practiced the most inhuman barbarities on
union prisoners, at the close of the war
announced himself penitent, received the
benefits of the reconstruction measures, and
was by some curious process elected to the
Office of governor under the johnson
regime. His populations and perjury in
Office finally brought him to grief for his
atrocities, for which sentence was passed
on him by the supreme court, and he was
disqualified from holding any Office Of honor

And because North Carolina refused to
forgive this thief and perjurer Blaine
was opposed to universal amnesty. His
excuse would have been equally good if he
had said he would not vote for his owl

made in 1873, unless all the thieves anC
perjurers in the state were pardoned,
