More Democratic Trouble.

The special correspondent of the New
York Times writes from Washington, under
date of January "a:
The repeated efforts of soft-money Demo-
Gratis of the House to pass resolutions in
structing the Banking and Currency Com
mittee to report bill providing for the
whole or in part, has annoyed the Demo
cratic leaders at both ends of the Capitol,
and to-day Speaker Kerr manifested dis
position to use the Iower of his office to
prevent advocates Of imitation from pre-.
cipitating such resolutions upon the House.
Mr.. Landers, of Indiana, is wildly for soft
money, and the only man in the Indiana
delegation who would not support Kerr for
Speaker in the Democratic caucus. his
theories of Kerr. Mr.. Landers to-day
notified the Speaker that he desired to in
troduce q resolution and test the sense of
the House upon it, and requested that he
should receive recognition. III reply to
an inquiry Landers Informed the Speak
er that his resolution declared against
SO much of tho specie resump-
ton act as directed resumption in
January, 1879. The Speaker replied to
Landers: IL don't know whether will rec
ognize you or not" Landers took posi-
the Speaker could not fail to see him, aud
every time the floor was clear bawled
out in stentorian tones, "Mr. Speaker"
but the Speaker would not recognize
him. Landers regards the conduct Of the
Speaker as an invasion of his rights, and
expresses a determination to get his reso-
luton before the House. He says he will
not be choked OF by the coterie
that are trying to run every man
through their hard money mold. Landers
says majority of the people in Kerr's own
district are opposed to his financial theories,
and that his resolution is go framed
that it will receive the entire vote Of the
Indiana delegation. 1t looks as if the ad-
vocatee Of more money on the Democratlc
side, who constitute the majority OF that
party fn the House. will not submit quietly
all winter to the discipline proposed by
Kerr aud Morrison, and they are likely to
cause much trouble.

ORLEANS,

people Of Tensas when they don't desire
it. They wish to have the law stand as
it is, which permits revenue for expenses.
and, in addition, surplus for the building
Of bridges and other improvements re-
quired by the people. If the police juries
of some parishes levy unnecessary taxes,
the proper remedy is for the people to cor
rect the evil in legitimate way and to
elect competent jurors.
Mr.. Sartain was in favor of the bill. be-
cause his parish had suffered by the levy
ing Of enormous taxes, and he considered
this bill the only way to remedy the evil.
MI. Estiiette proceeded to place the mat
ter in a proper light, as he said, by saying
that any member could by amendment ex-
cept his parish, and that amendment he
would accept. But their objections should
not prevent the passage Of a bill that was
in the interest of the whole State. Many
parishes had the market flooded with pa
per, and the only means to prevent the
police jurors from doing what they had no
right to do was by such an act az this, limit.

Messrs. BiiIiu and Meredith favored the
bill. although Mr.. Billia desired frs. to re-
peal the law of 1869 that compels police
jur;es to pay bills for fees.
On Mr.. Walkers motion, he at the same

committed to the Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Wilt, which does away with the in

v;ous, by making ali such notes liable to

Order in the House.

At the very first trial yesterday morning,
Mr.. Booths amendment Of the usual order
Of things was shown not only to be eti,a
cious, but satisfactory. 1t was amended
with consent Of Mr.. Booth, and with his
acknowledg cement of its usefulness, by Mr..
Matthews motion changing the calling from
parishes to members in alphabetical order.
On every other morning each member
has been 60 anxious to present his petition
or memorial, give his notice of or Introduce
his bill, that the House, in the morning
hour. has been scence of disorder by the
calling of several members at the same
time, and many bills have been put back in
members desks in consequence. Tne
slightest cause for objection has been the
occasion for rejection, because the gaining
the Speakers eye insured precedence.
There were other causes of disorder under
the old system, but though they were ex-
citable were not of Importance.
Under Mr.. Booths rule matters moved
smoothly, and for nearly two hours, the roll
being called three times, there was nothing
that bears reporting except in the official
minutes. Mr.. Booth is to be congratulated
on his conception, and the success that fol-
lowed it's adoption.

IMPEACHMENT OFrHE AUDITOR.

Alter some unimportant preliminary
business, the Senate, yesterday, at the
usual hour, resolved itself into Court
OF Impeachment to try the charges
against Auditor BENNETT.
Manager w. Dorsey Carlile rose to
open the case for the prosecution. He
ieh sensibly the responsibility resting on
MS shoulders, but claimed that though q
mans reputation was of great valae to
MN, still when man had injured the
good name Of his entire State, as the re-
sspohdent had done. he should be made
70 suffer the penalty. The Manager then
went on to recite the articles against the
Auditor in detail. He dwelt specially
upon the fees charged insurance com.
psnies, declaring it was his opinion that
'ae crimes charged against the
auoltor were more serious than those
oi which the Treasurer had been found
guilty Hence he concluded that if the
auditor was found guilty of these grave
oaenses the Senate must likewise remove
him from office.
Mr. Morrow, of counsel foi the defence
nere said that if the management would
LAKE cut a correct list of fees the Aud
l'or had charged the Insurance Compa

stand. His testimony was in relation to
having been approached by the Auditor
in relation TO making some arrangement
with him in regard to dspositing certain
funds in the bank. His testimony was
objected to on the ground that it was
irrelevant, lnasmuch as Influencing the
State funds was very different from in
fluencing the funds of private parties
which happened to be in
possession of the Auditor. Objection was
not sustained by vote IA TO 10. Mr..
Bennett, witness continued, mentioned to
him the sum of $25,0OO he could control,
but did not say whose money it was. The
subject was laid before the bank, which
did not consider it an improper PROPOSE
ton .
In the cross examination the witness
sand that he had two conversations with
the Auditor in January, and that
the bank never proposed to pay
a commission for influencing State funds,
and Mr.. Bennett never mentioned the
amount Of commission he would expect,
and no decided proposition was ever made
by the bank.
After this testimony was given in, Mr..
w. b. Cabell was called. He desired to
correct certain statements he had form
erly made.
Senator Loomis rose and stated that he
desired to ask this witness the question,
whether or not Mr.. Bennett WAS in collu-
sion with Mr.. Burdett in the 81 900 paid
the latter, for securing an average deposit
in his bank, the Merchants Bank Of
CharlestonP
Counsel for the defence strongly OBJ
jected to this question, on the ground
that 1t was entirely imrertinent, and not
alleged in any Of the articles.
After some discussion, Senator john
son rose 10 point of order. He claimed
that neither managers nor counsel had
any right to object to any question pro-
pounded by a Senator, and moved that
the Senate 60 into secret session to dis
cuss the status of the members on this
point. The ayes and noes were called
for, and the motion was carried. The
doors were therefore closed, and pending
the discussion OF this question the Court
adjourned. -

French Political Situation.

PARIS, January 3l.-The Montaer says
that Notwithstanding the defeat of Buffet
and Dufaure, there is no probability that
the ministry will change before the
Chambers meet. All the Republican
journals are confident that their party
has majority in the Senate, and believe
this insures a consolidation of the repub-
lie. The leaders of the Left consider
revision of the constitution in n Monarchi-
cal, and especially in Bonopartist sense
henceforth impossible. The Conserva-
teves admit at least one-halt the Senate
to be Republican. TOrdre, the Bona
partist organ. comedies q majority OF sew
eral members to the Republicans. The
Journal des Debats says the moderate
and conciliatory Republicans are sure Of
majority in the Senate. Protests
against the validity of the elections have
been entered in about ten departments.
None of the OBJECTIONS, however, appear
serious
