Especial to the New Orlean. Republican.
WASHINGTON, January 10, 1877.

WASHINGTON, January 19, 1877.
A rebellion on a small scale was sum-
marily squelched in the Senate gallery to-
day.
party of tramps, evidently taking it for
granted that New Orleans Democratic tao
tics would be in order here, indulged in un-
seemly and Iiotous Applause when Senator
Bogy went out of his way to make grossly
offensive and unjust attack upon Governor
Packard.
The rioters were hissed down by respect
able spectators present, and afterwards ar
rested and looked up by the Sergeant.at-
Arms. The debate on Louisiana then went
on without further interruption.
Senator Sherman eloquently defended
Governor Packard, and testified to his high
standing among men whom the country de-
lights to honor. He said he witnessed
scenes such as were enacted by the Demo-
cratic rabble in the gallery before, in 1856
when he investigated border rufian out
RACES in Kansas, and in 1861, during the
early stages OF the great rebellion. Return
ing then to discussion of the present aspect
of the Louisiana csSe, he showed that
the so-called rebutting evidence, produced
by the Democrats, did not, in a single in
stance, disprOVe the statements made in
the presence of the visiting committee. He
warmly defended the action of the Return
ing Board; showed that the members were
guided by the plainest provisions of the
law, and high sense of duty, and made it
perfectly plain that there could not be any
appeal from its decision.
The debate will be continued tomorrow.
The cause of justice and good government
ia surely and steadily gaining by the inves-
tigation and discussion now in progress.
The Senate investigating committee is
expected home from New Orleans on Mon
day.
E. A. Burke arrived here to-day, in
the interest of Mr.. Nichols, understood
to be an applicant for Governor Paekard's S
position.
The members of the Returning Board
were invited to make speeches upon the
door of the House to-day, but being unac-
.customed to public speaking, they asked
time for preparation, and that meanwhile
they might continue in the enjoyment of
the hospitality of the Sergeant-at,Arms.
Both requests were granted. D. d. C.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The official organ of General Nichols is
endeavoring to bulldoze the Senate investi.
eating committee into not reporting the
damning facts elected against the Louisiana
Democracy. Early next week it will enjoy
the opportunity of learning how much it
has accomplished in that line.
Senator Mcdonald has the dissgreeable
alternative of sacrificing his honest convic-
tions that the Democratic canvass of Louis
lana was SO cruel and bloodthirsty as to be
disgrace to civilization, or of being de-
nounced BY every Tilden organ in the land
as traitor to his party, whom Zach
Chandler has bought with money tilched
from the impoverished taxpayers.
There was marked falling of in Demo-
cratic confidence yesterday, a reaction from
the hattossing iubilatiou state to one little
short Of actual depression. The organs
have promised the speedy dissolution of the
Packard government, while all that is dds
solute' is really found on the other side
Inc Democrats have quaffed deeply over
night of the champagne of imaginary vlo-
tory, and are now taking their morning
penitential draft of the brandy and soda of
solid facts. The Packard government con
tinues an established authority; the revolu-
tlonary attempt at its overthrow is meeting
with the stern condemnation of the law
loving people of the country; the reports of
the congressional committees will very soon
determine its right to rule over Louisiana,
and the whole power of the Federal govern
ment will thereupOu be promptly employed
If necessary to enforce it's ascendenoy. This
is the situation as it is slowly making itself
manifest to the sober second thought of
those who for two weeks have struggled to
implant Mexican ideas in American soil
And it is depressing for them.

CONGRESS-,
Senate.

WASHINGTON, January ia motion WAS
made TO adjourn to Monday.
Mr. Edmunds said if the bill reported by
the select committee yesterday should be-
come law, the first act to be done under it
must be done week from Tuesday, The
Senate should take the bill up on to-mor-
row, so by next Tuesday they might de.
stroy it by manly blows or pass it, and not
destroy it by smothering it or postpOning
it's consideration. He hoped the Senate
would not adjourn over.
The motion was Withdrawn.
Louisiana affairs were discussed at great
length by Messrs. Sherman and Bogy,
during which the galleries were cleared on
account of demonstrations of applause.
Mr., Sherman defended the action of the
Returning Board, and quoted from the
testimony to show that violence and intimi.
datiOn did exist during the canvass, and
the board was justified in throwing out Ger.
tain returns. He argued that the ex parte
testimony presented by the Senator from
Missouri did not show that violence did not
exist. The Senator Mr.. Bogyl had spoken
against Packard. That was not right. Mr..
Packard was a man of character and stand
ing. What had he done2 Had he mnE-
dered or robbed9
Mr.. BOgy-He had robbed He had
robbed and done nothing else.
Mr. sherman was surprised to hear such
a remark from the Senator.
Mr.. Bogy said the character of Packard
in New Orleans was that of an infamous
rObber. Great applause in the galleries on
the right of the Chair
Mr.. Sherman, after regretting the neoos-
sity of clearing the galleries, referred to
Louisiana again and said that hs did not
know Mr.. Packard but that he had heard
him spoken of Is q man of honor. Whenaa
member of the Senate arraigned a Governor
OF State rs tnfamO us, he abused his privi-
leges as a Senator.
Mr.. Bogy-I do not admit that he is Gov
ernOr.
Mr.. Morton said be regretted TO hear the
Senator from Missouri speak as he did about
Governor Packard. He (Mr. MortoD) was
not under any personal or political ObIiga-
tions to Governor Packard, but he was
somewhat familiar with Louisiana affairs,
and had never heard him spoken of as 8
man Of bad character either as politician,
IN society or business. Among the iobs
heard Of in Louisiana during the past Eve
years Packard was never mentioned as in
terested in any of them. He spoke ct length
of Louisiana affairs, referred TO the difficult
ties at the Meohanics' Institute, Coushatta.
ETC., and argued that violence and intimids-
tiOn had prevailed in Louisiana for years.
The Senate then went into executive ses-
sion. Adjourned
Messrs. Wells and Anderson were pre-
sented before the bar of the House, but
their cases were postponed till the arrival
Of the other members of the board.
The day was devoted to private bills.

Undoubtedly the Legislature of 1876
was reform Legislature. The Campaign
was a reform campaign, with the trifing
exception of the riot of September Ia, 1874,
which was more in accordance with the old
customs. Democrats and Republicans
pledged themselves to reform, if elected.
Every member who was elected, and some
who were members without being elected,
and some who we're neither members nor
elected, made speeches declaring they were
reformers. Reform in their minds seemed
anonymous with change, and there was
not department of the government, nor
a fee or salary of an officer, from pound
keeper to the Governor, that was not the
subject of some proposition of that nature.
The amount of reform legislation that was
smothered in the committees was something
wonderful. If all had passed and become
law the polity of this State would have
been like nothing that was ever seen. 1t
would have been nearer the antithesis of
Utopia than anything q single mind could
conceive.
Some bills, nj ore because of their notori.
ETY. than their wisdom, did pass and went
to the Governor. Some he vetoed and re.
turned to the houses of the General Assem-
bly, where they originated, January l, 1877.
Three that he did not return have been pro-
mulgated. They are genuine reform meas
ures, if reduction of fees with prospec-
tive benefit to the taxpayer is reform.
The advantage of these laws is that they
have the authoritative Endorsement of both
Democratic and Republican Legislators and
judges, and, if Mr.. Eustis speaks with
authority, of Mr, Ogden, who claims to be
the Attorney General, They were intro

The Kentucky Democracy for wah.
LoUIsvILLE, January IS.--A convention
OF the Democracy of Kentucky was held to-
day, attended by over 1900 delegates, rep.
resenting ninety counties. Hon. Cassius M.
Clay was chosen permanent chairman. His
speech was loudly applsuded. 1t was de-
voted in main to criticism and condemns
tiOn of the Republican policy. The otber
speakers were Hon. Edward c. Marshall.
General w. Preston, Governor MeCrary
and Colonel w. G. p. Breekinridpe. Tha
following resolutions were adopted:
HesotUed, That it is the firm conviction of
the Democratic party in Kentucky that Til
den and Hendricks received q majority of
the electoral votes, and that liberty and the
constitution demand they shall be inau-
gurated. Also, that the counting of the
electoral vote by the President of the SEN
ate without the concurrence of both houses
would be an act of usurpation to which the
people will not submit. Exhaustion Of all
peaeeable means consistent with honor and
the constitution are fret to be thought of;
when these fail, sterner measures should
be taken.
The alleged use of the military in up.
holding illegal governments in Louisiana
and South Carolina were denounced in
strong terms, and it was further resolved
to unite with the Ohio Democracy in call
ing for national Democratic convention,
