Death Of Hon. Arthur snucIer.

The community was much surprised and
panied yesterday on learning that Hon.
Arthur Saucier, late judge of the Sixth Dis
trict Court, died suddenly on the day be-
fore.
Judge Saucier was man universally
respected, publicly and privately, as a
counsel and judge, and admired for his in
tegrity, fairness and moderation. He made
no attempts at brilliant display, and was
averse to making himself prominent, espe-
ciRlly while on the bench. It was not often
that no reduced his opinions to writing, and
when he did so they bore the evidence of
great effort at condemnation, but completely
covering the deciding point in the case as
he had stadled it. His manRer ON the
bench toward counsel, witnesses and par
ties was pleasant, and even when be foHnd
Unnecessary to be peremptOry it was but a
tEife more aastepe than bis habit in cOnvsr-
sation. He was an ornament to the bench
Of LOuisianA, and entitled to . lawyers
epitaph--a good man, q faithfHl counsel
and just judge. '0thers Of his profession
may leave more distinguished name; none
caR claim higher characteristics than these,
end many fail 20 attain them all.

THE FACTS BEFORE THE PEOPLE
Especial 10 the New Orleans Republican,
wAsHINeroN. January g. 1s77.

WASHINGTON, January 3, 1877.
Senator Sherman's speech on Louisiana
affairs to-day was powerful one, and com
manded earnest attention.
The details Of the nefarious acts commit
ted against Republicanism in Louisiana in
the name of the Democratic party are too
sadly familiar TO your people to need re-
oapitulation here.
Such scenes of intimidation and murder,
if witnessed in a Northern State, said the
Senator, would have resulted in civil war.
The main facts, he said, were historically
true. The testimony of the coroner of East
Baton Rouge, setting forth the expressed
discontinuance of inquests over the muir
dered victims of Democracy, upon being
read, produced profound sensation in the
Senate.
Mr.. Sherman in an earnest manner went
on to recite the outrages committed by the
nighthawks of crime, ss he termed the
Louisiana Democratic raiders, and said
they were so terrible as to stagger belief in
humanity toward man; and that it was the
inhumanity of the outrages that caused
some people to question their truth. Yet,
said he, it is the testimony before God, and
| it was not contradicted before the Return
ing Board. The sympathizers with the
perpetrators of these crimes attempted,
however, by lame excuses to assign other
motives for the Outrsges.
These murders were SO plain that it
was made the duty of the Returning Board
to reject returns in the bulldozed parishes
The action of the board, he contended, was
in accordance with law and equity.
He alluded to parishes where full and
free vote was cast, and where Republican
majorities were rolled up, yet in certain
parishes, where the colOred element pre-
dominated, not single Republican vote
was cast. Why, he aeked, we're the colored
people in free parishes not persuaded by
violence to vote the Democratic ticket, and
why did the night hawks OF crime, alluding
to the Louisiana Democrats, give their
whole attention to those parishes where
the colored vote was strongestf The acts
committed by the night hawks of crime,
riding by night, terrOrzing and numbering
among the cabins of the poor and lOwly,
was disgrace to civilization, bat will CON
tinue, so long as they find apologies and
defenders in the Democratic party.
In conclusion, Senator Sherman said, all
Louisiana needed was the protection OBJ
tanned by the enforcement of che law, to
make it one of the most thriving com
munihes in the world.
During the speech General Sherman and
distinguished members of the government
were on the floor of the Senate, attentive
listeners. The effect of the speech waf
electrical and will have wholesome pOliti
cal result in acquainting the country with
Democratic practices in the South.
The evidence is now distinctly before
Congress and the people. d. d. G.

The Pieayune report of the House branch
OF 1Ie Democratic caucus at Odd Fellows,

Rondell received 1888 votes and Ridgley

Acuon OF the OhA0 Democrats.
COLUMBUS, January 9.-rhe third resoIu-
tion of the Democratic convention saye:
That while we are clear in the oonyietiou
that Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas A. Hem
drieks have received not only q Large ma
joTity Of popular vote, but majority OF
the electoral vote, and are, therefore,
elected President and Vice President. We
yet declare that any decision made by the
Senate and House Of Representative will
be cheerfully acqniesced in by the whole
people, and that any attempt TO inauRurate
a President simply upon proclamation Of
the President of the Senate will be an act
of ueurpsti0n that will be resisted BY the
people to the last extremity, even should
that extremity be an appeal to arms.
