WHAT THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN SAYS OF
TIE LOUISIANA CONTROVERSIAL Hon. STAN
ley Matthews and Charles G.. Foster were
parties to any such compromise agreement
as the one in question, they entered into it
with purposes entirely their own, for which
they are alone responsible. That President
Hayes was, and is now, entirely ignorant OF
any such procedure is fact that every sane
man whose mind is uncloWded by prejudice
must admit. .+ --....-
Senator Gordon, when approached on the
subject, stated positively and uncquiyocally
that he had no such paper in his possession,
though he had seen one purporting to be Of
the nature described. lie also said that he
did not believe that it bore the signature OF
,Messrs. Sherman or Garfield, nor did he
| think that the President had the slightest
knowledge OF or was party to any such
procedure. "a -.|gHtagp Is :.
Secretary Sherman emphatically de-
nounccs as an rabsurd falsehood the state
ment that he has signed any such paper,
and says he has never heard the matter Sc
,riously spoken Of by any responsible party.
1T will be needless to say further that
President Hayes is perfectly ignorant Of
the arrangement, il any such has been
made. ."1ir> 2:s=ti 49, go NE =
Already the Democrats boldly assert that
unless both Hampton and Nichols are
speedily recognized they will parade before
the public this mighty paper, and show the
Presidents faithlessness TO promises made
by unauthorized and neyer-constituted
agents. .l ;,
. 1t may be well to add, in conclusion, that
the opinion is expressed by those who are
well informed as to current political events
that the paper above referred to as an
agreement was but the expression Of Messrs.
Matthews and Foster OF their own convlc-
tons, as to the political policy OF President
Hayes, as derived from their knowledge OF
his views as embodied in bis, inaugural adj
dress, and nothing has TRANSFERRED to wal
position taken in his inaug ural, ---Repubtican

The Extra Session and the Army Bill.

The Extra Session and the Army Bill.
A disposition exists among both the DEM
ocratic and Republican members OF Con.
grcss to make the extra session as brief us
possible To this end tits extremely likely
that the appointment OF committees, with
the possible exception Of the Committee on
Appropriations, will be postponed until
the December session. II no committees
are announced no legislation can be entered
upon but by unanimous consent. The Texas
Pacific people would like to get their scheme
through. but they know that would not be
possible. The sole business for which the
session is to be called by the Presiden Is
the passage OF the army appropriation Dill,
and it dcpends altogether upon clrcum-
stances whether even that is passed. 1t can
be stated authoritatively and without the
least reservation, for have it from many
of the leading Democratic members OF the
House, that
NOT ONE DOLLAR ...
will be voted for the army il, when Con-
cress comes together, it is still acting as
police guard for Packard and Chamberlain,
or for either Of them. Members say that
thcy permitted the army bill to fail at the
last session because the army was then used
to sustain the rotten and fraudulent Pack
ard and Chamberlain governments, ana tDat
it is useless for the President to call them
here in the expectation that they will vote
the public money for the army if it is to be
continued in its present illegal, dlsgraceful,
and degrading occupation. Therefore, when
Congress meets, if it finds the army con-
fined to its legitimate employment, and the
people Of South Carolina and Louisiana in
peaceful and undsturbed possession OF
be passed, and an adjournment effected in a
very few days. II the contrary is the case,
the army will get no supplies, but bitter
political debates are likely to ensue, which
may prolong the session for several weeks.

for the future. For this arrest and imprisonment
the plaintiff brought this suit and claimed thous-
and dollars damages. She alleged the arrest was
made in wanton and brutal manner; that undue
and unnecessary force was used,
The officer justified on the ground that the plaintiff
was at the time obstructing the sidewalk and was
violating bylaw of the town in that she was a
prostitute or night-walker, and was at the time
seeking to ply that vocation.

singing the last to double encore Miss KEEL
logg came out smiliugly and seating herself at
he piano amid tremendous enthusiasm, daipti-
~ took off her long white gloves. and showing
By chance her fair round arm from under its
white satin sleeve drapery. she played her own
accompaniment. Miss Gary was no less ia
vorite. She is majestc in stature and bearing,
and sings divinely.
