mind the celebrated one of Andrew John

pie we are, to get up two first class i'm

AT THE CAPITAL,

Our dearly beloved Congress returned
from their Centennial frolic las safely as
possible under the circumstances, and were
in session on last Friday and Saturday. but
being very much fatigued, and somewhat
shaky, very little business of importance
was transacted by the national calamity.

TRICKS oFINNOCENCE.

II it be true that the method the Sen
ate took to prevent the trial of Kellogg
was the suggestion Of Elk Governor War
moth, then that individual has lone
been credited with more sagacity and
brains than he really possesses. The
trick had something in it of the audacity
which characterized the. movements OF
the famous carpet-bag governor OF Lou
isiana in his palmy days; and it ap-
peared at first to be q brilliant and
startling coup d'etat. It was, however.
q most unfortunate proceeding for KEEL
logg, and if Warmoth really counseIed
it, his reputation as brilliant political
brigand must seriously suffer, unless he
has assumed the Machiavellian role. and
advised his dupe to commit a shameful
folly which would tend to crush him.
The whole country will ask why, if
Kellogg is innocent, he entered into a
conspiracy with the Chief Justice, the
Assistant Attorney General and the ma
jority Of the Senate, to prevent trial?
The large majority of the Senate is CON-
posed Of his faithful partisans; the
Chief Justice is bound to him by indis-
soluble ties Of crime. Every circum-
stance Of the situation insured him an
acquittal, whether proved to be guilty
Or innocent. Why then. under the cir
did Kellogg and his CO.
conspirators resort to such violent

his righteousness has overcome the
sentiment, for he still continues to pol

Louisiana, and to make merchandise of
the decisions which, as Chief Justice, he
renders In our Supreme Court. a
Wesuppose the foregoing statements
will be sufficient to show the connection
between Kellogg and Ludeling, and the
interest each has to stand by the other.
i Our readers know that Kellogg was
discharged by the Court OF Impeach-
ment presided over by Ludeling; that
the latter was in the Governors Office
on Monday evening last by preconcert
with Kellogg, and lost not Il moment In
Opening the court and ruling every
point against the managers on the part
Of the House. OF course, from such a
man, nothing but indecent haste in
ruling the managers to an immediate
trial was to be looked for. Our friends
Ia the Legislature should have begun
their work by impeaching the Chief
Justice, against whom there are so
many accusations OF grave crimes. We
lear they have missed an opportunity
hey will never again have to expose
he evil deeds of this arch enemy of all
virtue in our beloved State o

A REPUBLICAN, PRECEDENT.

We have heard it suggested that the
House Of Representatives committed a
blunder In not presenting, at the time il
impeached Mr.. Kellogg, regularly for,
mulated articles Of impeachment. This
Is an error. We might demonstrate this
from considerations pertaining to the
nature Of the proceeding, but it is sufll-
cient that we present Republican
precedent which is conclusive upon the
subject. The impeachment of Andrew
johnson was the most important cause
Of the kind ever tried in this country.
That 1t was conducted in strict accord
ance with previous precedents cannot
be doubted, particularly when we con-
slider that in 4 case involving SO much Of
partisan feeling no objection was made
to the form of the proceeding.
We have before us the official report
Of the trial. 1t shows that on February
~, 1868. the Committee on Reconstruc-
ton reported to the House resolution
that Andrew Johnson be impeached OF
high crimes and misdemeanors In Office.
On February "a that resolution was
adopted, and two committees were APP
pointed; one, to notify the Senate Of the
action OF the House. and the other to
prepare articles OF impeachment. Feb
ruary %, Messrs. Stevens and Bingham
appeared at the bar of the Senate and
in the name of the House OF Rep
resentatives and OF the people of
the United States impeached An
drew Johnson of high crimes and mis-,
demeanors in Office, and informed the
Senate that the House would in due
time exhibit particular articles Of inn
parchment against him and make good
the same, and were informed that the
Senate would take order in the premises.
On Feb. 20 the articles were presented
TO the House and adopted. On March
they were presented to the Senate, and

WHO. IN To BLAME2

| It is very easy to affirm that the i'm
parchment Of Kellogg Is a foolish ant
frivolous proceeding, but 1t is not so cas-,
to explain to the country how, II Kellogg
has been guilty Of high crimes and mis-
demeanors, as is alleged, the members
Of the House, under their solemn oaths
could have failed to arraign him. The
property and business interests OF ne
country are. ever injured or imperiled
by the investigation Of crimes or by the
trial and punishment Of malefactors
whether the inalefactors be pick
pockets or Governors. Property depre-
ciates in value and trade declines
however, In all communities where the
opinion prevails that the prosecution OF
criminals is foolish and frivolous bust
ness, and where the grand juries, the
courts and the people are deferred from
doing their whole duty In such matters
by threats Of violence and bloodshed
made by the violators Of the law. Who
will bring capital to invest in Louisiana
enterprises? No one; and simply be-
cause no one has any faith in the integ-
rity OF the courts of the State, or trust
In our officials. Because the law here is
administered exclusively in the interest
Of the Radical party. Because the law
here is a system of favoritism on one
hand and OF persecution on the other.
The action Of the Senate Monday In
declaring Kellogg an innocent man,
hAfnpo hn nh.v ~ ho 4,
been presented or any Of the testimony
heard, is the most recent, striking and
scandalous illustration we have had of
this fact. We hope the many thousands
OF visitors now in our city, and who have
been almost witnesses OF the arbitrary
and lawless action Of the Senate, will
bear the facts in mind, and in the future
when they hear in their distant homes
Of the discomfort Of this peo-
pie, Of their uncompromising
hostility to Kellogg's usurpation
and to the Radical party, they will
know better where the blame lies.
We ask them to bear testimony to
the whole country that the House of
Representatives, in the exercise of the |
sworn constitutional duty of it's men,
bers, attempted to impeach w. Pitt
Kellogg of high crimes and INSIDE
and that the Radical Senate,
by the Chief Justice of the
State and other high officials, resorted /
o the most shameless subterfuge to
prevent the trial, and that their coad-
utors threatened to embroil the city in
ivil strife If the effort to bring Kellogg
Q justice was persisted in.

The Morning Press.

The Bee points out two means by
which the House can maintain its honor
and the interests of justice, in regard tc
the conduct OF the Senate on Monday
which the whole decent press of the
city has condemned. The first is to send
its managers to lay the charges against
Kellogg at the bar Of the Senate and
risk another denial OF Justice; the other
and it thinks the better course, is to act
Immediately and impeach all instigators
Of and accomplices in the crime com
mitted. s anal .i,.5. rit.
The Republican endeavors to prove
that the Conservatives were guilty of
bad faith and y violation of the Wheeler
compromise In the impeachment Of KEEL
logg. 1t says that, forewarned being
forearmed, the Republicans, and especi-
ally the coiored members of the party,
cannot again accept, with the expecta-
ton OF its being carried out in good
faith, u safeguard from the White
Leaguers whose faith, which it likens to
that OF the Modocs, is simply designed
to dupe their enemy. fAe
The Picay,ne defends itself from the
charges made by the Times Of yester-
day, that it was ready to flop on either
side of the political fence, and requests
the Times to answer the questions pro-
pounded as to its position on certain
questions. .....,, ~ +. ..,
Itagain urges the Senate to pass the
premium bond act.
The Bulletin alludes to the annual
report of the Board of Metropolitan
Commissioners, and considers that the
leading fact presented by it is the enor-
nous cost Of the force to the tax payers.
1t thinks that the force should be
brought down to reasonable dimensions,
and suggests that this can best be eff
fected by not filling the vacancies
caused by the dismissal Of officers for
improper conduct. .5.
The Times has seen many "cheeky"
but none which it thinks
to the manner in which the
House of Representatives impeached |
Kellogg and the way in which the SEN
lte acquitted him. 1t considers the i'm
peachment by the House foolish and
frivolous in design and feeble in execu-
ion, and the trial trumped up by the
senate as arbitrary and scornful.

Representatives, remember that Kel
logg and Antoine are usurpers; thai
they are in office without moral or lega
! right. t.. eH. ..tI s. i
Remember that Kellogg has left moth
ing undone to enslave tho people.
Remember that he has sent his mill
tia and police to beat down the people,
and enforce the rule Of usurpers.
Remember that the blood that flowed
at Colfax and Coushatta was the result
Of his diabolical schemes to maintain
his usurped power.
Remember that he has plundered your
treasury and enriched himself and his
robber band with the taxes wrung from
the toll and property of honest men.
Remember that he annulled tho votes
OF the people by his infamous Return
ing Board, and that he has refused to
have this Returning Board law repealed,
and that at his call Federal troops drove
out the Representatives OF the people,
Remember that he attempted to dis
arm the citizens Of New Orleans, and
that on the 14th of September, 1874 he
arrayed his mercenary police against
them, and that by his orders the heart
blood of high-souled patriots stained
the streets Of their own metropolis.
Remember that Wells, Newman, Rob
bins, Toledano and others died resisting
the tyranny of Kellogg and remember
that the life of the humblest citizens
who fell on that day was worth ten thou
sand times the combined lives Of Kel-
lOgg and all his robber band. a. r.
Remember that he has, with his
Assistant Attorney General, his Chief
Justice and his Senate at his heels"
defied the law and the authority Of the
House of Representatives. ts3
Remember that, entrenched behind
his corrupt courts, his returning boards,
his false census, his partisan officials,
