Louise sprang from his arms apc
shot off like an arrow down the bril-
liant street, through the squalid al
leys, and narrow by-lanes; and the
soldier followed her.
Mrs. Halpine sat in her comfortless
attic hushing her sick child upon her
lap.
"Mamma, mamma. Tn so hungry
please give me something to eat '.
the little fellow moaned, clasping his
hot arms about her neck.
But there was no bread, and Lou
ise did not come.
"Wait moment, darling just a
moment longer"
And the patient little one waited
and the cold, gray shadows settled
down darker and darker; and the
poor mother clasped the child closer
to her bosom, dreaming of happy
days gone by, and os the dear hus :
band who had gone to his last long
home, with no tender hand to close
his eyes.
The shadows grew heavier and
darker; and the winds moaned dis
mally, and the snow and sleet tinkled
sharply against the windows.
"Oh, mamma please make a fire.
I'm so cold, and the dark makes me
afraid"
swat little bit longer, darling
Louise will come soon"
AT last there vas noise below, a
bounding, joyous step upon the stairs,
and Louise burst into the room, her
face all glowing and radiant.
"Oh, mother, mother" she cried,
"father's not dead, He's alive-he's
come back to us again.
The soldiers wife rose to her feet,
grasping at the bed-post for support;
as she did SO strong arms clasped her
to warm and loving bosom.
Louise crept up to her fathers feet,
her blue eyes swimming with tears.
"Oh. father. what if | had kept
it," she asked, with tears in her eyes.
"Then, dear. you would not have
found me. Always remember that
wrong wins its punishment, and night
its reward?"

Counting Chickens Unmatched.

Forthwith, on the very first blush
of the Belknap exposures, jealous
Democratic editors seized their pen
ellis and their states to figure up the
resulting losses to the Republicans,
next fall, and to count the large
gains they were so certain would &C
crue to the Democracy. Indeed,
even prior to the publicity given to
the affair, within the star chamber OF
Mr.. Clymer's committee itself, il
would seem that eager anticipations
Of the great party profit nearly sup
planted every other feeling. This i,
was that led to the entire failure tc
hold the witness and culprit, Marsh,
who was allowed to make good his
escape in spite of the protests of the
Republican members of the commit
tee. This, also, has inspired the un-
seemly behavior of certain Democrat.

Their whole aim has been, and is, te

In pleasing contrast with these, how.
ever, we may instance the New York
World, which journal promptly hurl'
ed its anathemas at any and all at
tempts to manufacture party gain
out of a disgrace so thoroughly ma
tional. To this, we can now add the
utterance of the New York Tribune
"Independent," but almost invariably
leaning to the Democratic party, il
direct hostility to the Republicans
That journal now capdidly closes ar
article on the influence Of the Bel
KNAPP scandal in the Presidency by
saying:
"There is no necessary gain to the
Democrats in all this. The people oi
the country do not believe them te

met because he was not politician,
or a party mao. The fact is that
Gen. b. grew into the indifference to
party politics which seems to charac-
terize the military character. Gen.
BIS character is essentially military.
1t was not difficult for him be be Sec
retary of War in Republican cabi-
net. When he was appointed to th q,
place most Democrats here thought
of him as in the main a Democrat not
Of the strict party sort. While Re-
publicans who had insight into his
character saw that there was nothing
in his views to prevent him from being

tration such as Grant was aiming to
make. And so there has been as to
his conduct of the War Department
no political policy but suited Repub-
licans well enough.
He has superb executive qualities.
We presume that it will be found
that his wrong doing is personal and
does not affect the fidelity with which
he served the Governments interests
resting in his hands. What has caus-
ed his awful fall is the social entrav-
agance, which is the curse Of Wash
ington City. We recall that after he
had been Secretary couple moaths
or so, we were in Washington, and
he said to US in substance: "lt had
been published when l came here
that | was rich, and that l had jus,
married very rich wife. And SO
told my associates in the Government
that it was all mistake. | was poor
and my wife was as poor as myself
That l had nothing to live on but my
salary, and that upon that | intended
to live. If ! do not entertsin and live
like the rest of you it is because
cannot afford it." And 1t was in this
spirit that he began life in Washing
ton, and threatened to kick down
stairs man who offered to pay him
ten thousand dollars for an office.
But after \ while the custom Of both
Office and poverty grew stale, and
social extravaganza opened q quest
for illicit income that has led to pit
of dshonor and ruin. While We
can make no effort to save him
from Just condemnation, We can
and do feel the deepest
sorrow for his fall. He has generous
and noble qualities, and in his friend
ship is as staunch as steel. One
thing more: we protest against the
assumption because Gen. Belknap
has done wrong we are to lose hope
and faith in the integrity Of all public
men of all parties. Here where he
lived, Gen. b. was not regarded like
some others of its public citizens oi
both parties-like SO many known
true and tried men in public place in
State and nation-as q man sure to
do no wrong act. He was regarded
as man whom people knew might
do wrong, but whom they hoped
would do right because they liked
his cordial, friendly qualities, and be-
cause they wanted him to honor a
distinction that was surprise to
him and them-a distinction it would
never have occurred to them TO seek
for him, but which most of them were
glad of when it came.

He leaped back, and, standing

he moved without another word.

canvass. That the latter can be insured
without some central scrutiny we do not
believe; the Republicans have every
reason to know it can not, and they may
az we'll give up the contest in advance as
to surrender the safeguards by which
alone their votes can be protected from
the ballot box to the proclaimed result.
The Senate has shown its willingness
to modify some of the provisions OF the
existing laws, but they will not entirely
surrender approved measures until they
are offered something like satisfactory
substitute in exchange. In the committee
of conference, the Republicans proposed
rehabilitation Of the Returning Board,
on terms which did not suit the views OF
Democrats, and tie respective committees,
like hung jury, repaired to their respec-
tive houses and reported they were unable
to agree. Is this to be the last of this
question at this session? Because neither
party can have exactly its own way, will
they both agree upon nothing? Such
action upon the part of the Democrats
would be equivalent to tacit approval OF
the present law. They have been offered
a new one, containing many changes sug-
gested by themselves, which they have
rejected. If this disagreement be per-
sisted in, the existing law will remain in
force, and those who had the power to
change it and would not will be held &C
for the neglect.

AFRAID OF ONE ANOTHER.

The most numerous body Of the Legis-
lature proposes battalion of volunteer
sergeants-at-arms who are to find their
own arms and provisions, and serve with
out pay. Thereupon one Democratic
paper complains that the Senate Chamber
has been made blockhouse, while another
has the following apprehension Of coup
d'etat from this fortified place:
For some time past spirit of disquiet
has pervaded the State House. The unex-
planned appoin 'ment of General Hugh j.
Campbell as Sergeant-at Arms of the Sem
ate, when there was no appare mt cause for
the sudden and unexpected displacement
of his respectable aud efficient colored pre-
decessor; the daily presence IN and about
the State House OF al unusual force of
Metropolitan Police, both in uniform and in
citizens attire; other OminOus preparations
in and about the Senate Chamb9 r of war
like character-all these portentous dis
plays have an ugly and hostile look, and
suggest coup detat to the thoughtful OBJ
server.
These mutual apprehensions remind US
that long before the war there was panic
in a country parish that the ringers were
going to rise" An armed and vigilant
patrol was sent to scour the country, and
came across a fugitive darkey who had
taken refuge in the swamp. On being in
terrogated why he had run away from
home, the terrified creature replied, "Ole
missus had done got boss pistul, and
was feared she was gwine for to rise"

Mexico and Texas. Now, thelCoushatta
tactics are all very we'll in thinly settled
country, after the crops are laid by, and
where the destruction of negroes costs not
even sepulture, if there be q river or a
bayou hard by. The arrest of business,
the turning away of customers, the killing
of respectable gentlemen, with bank bal
ances and business affairs unsettled, all
render the Coushatta tactics unacceptable
even to the Democratic members of our
city delegation.
These imperative statements are made
to relieve those who have proposed the
repeal Of the compromise, and the &C
cusation of the State officers, out Of
Office, from an imputation of failure from
any fault of theirs. We cheerfully certify
that the Democratic programme in the
Senate was as bloody as Colfax itself.
Thousands upon thousands" of colored
people were to be slain if the Returning
Board should not be repealed Skull and
cross bones notices were italicized to warn
the Republican Senate that unless they
passed the bills sent to them by the organ,
they might expect to 60 the way of the
notified Republican officers Of Feliciana,
Grant and other parishes.
We are now inclined to hope that the
Coushatta tactics will be confined to
those communities in which murder
need not fear even retaliation. That
this barbarous doctrine has not succeeded
here is not attributable to any want of
declamatory violence in those who have
advocated it, but to the fact that the prop |
erty and active capital of New Orleans
are too much dependent on peace to
tolerate the use of artillery in the streets |
and small arms in the Legislature.
The material interests of this city have |
always exercised powerful influence in
behalf of peace. General Jackson said
some harsh things about the Legislature
and Council when he came with Western
militia to defend the United States from
the public enemy. During the late war
no city could have been more decided in
its municipal adherence to the Confed-
eracy; yet, the twenty thousand French
subjects whom the French consul de-
handed sixty days to remove, before the
of hostilities, and the
vast commercial interests and social des-
titution of the people, compelled the Con-
federate city authorities to defer resist
,nce to some other time and field of war
are.
1t is not the fault, we repeat, of the |
Joushatta policy, but it is not calcu-
ated for large cities, which have CONNER
ial business, public amusemerts, with
thousands who know not their right hand
rom their left, ''and likewise much
attle."
Coushatta has received check, and !
I'LL require reinforcements to carry the
tate government by storm.

Republican. It is charged that Repub-
lican State Treasurer misapplied the in
terest fund for time. and it is admitted
that he replaced 1t and worked no loss to
the State. The cry is. cruelty him.
Let us suppose the Democratic City
Council had knowingly and purposely,
diverted the interest fund to pay running
expenses, to foster the premium bond
scheme, or for any purpose; that they
were SO fond of this sort of diversion, the
mls-applying of funds which they never
could hope to replace, that Miss Rosa
Maenhaut, who took an interest in the
interest fund due her, is obliged to ask
for court injunction to restrain the
Democratic Council from misuse Of that
fund. Is there anything said by "the peo-
ple' about putting the Democrats out
OF Office, or of fine and imprisonment?
We are told that is different case. Well,
it has this difference-the diverted interest
fund of the city can not be replaced;
there is not dollar of the State interest
fund missing. The cry is impeach the
Treasurer, he is Republican,; elect the
members of the City Council for a third
term, they are Democrats
Now, as to ISLANDERS, we can not always
apologize for our Democratic officials,
even to make New Orleans thought well |
Of; but We can tell the truth about Re- |
publicans, whether they do well or ill, and |
that is what We ask the press Of New Or
leans to do, that the Crescent City shall
not always be regarded as place to be
avoided. Better show the world that off,
GERS of the State government will be sup
ported in we'll doing, than to convey the
impression that We have no government,
and are determined to run out Republic
ans, kill them if necessary, with or with
out a reason.
