THE LEGISLATURE
has Adjourned at last, and l have nj
doubt the fact will tie a source o
much qualification all around. IT,
good works can he stated with east
and rapiity, while its sins OF "mis
sion are so many that year would
he expended in cnumcratiuy them.
Considered from a purely Demo
cratic stand,point-which means
principle om7 practical wiorM-this
legislature is a most dismal failure
and as an evidence that they recog:
nizo the fact themselves, the Senate
refused to appoint a huncombc Com
mittee to cnumclate for political ef
feet bnncombc reform mrasn,rS--
creatures of imagination. Nj. White,
the eminent, eloquent and tip top
Conservative Senator from Orleans,
couldn't galvanize the measure with
a spread eagle speech. Burch, the
negro Senator from East Baton Rouge,
rather set back the Conservative Gle.
ment when, in reply to Mr.. Whites
labored and futilc effort, he exclaim
ed, AMI that right fervcntly, that he
"admire1 and respected a Democrat,
but he had an utter contempt for a
Conservative" Burch struck the
popular chord in Louisiana, however.
when he referred to that noble and
chiva|ric son Of our beloved common
wealth,
wv ThA\on iAotlo ~ " l1IlI,
as an cont and ont Democrat in
whom all men could and did repose
contidencc-whom all respected and
admired. Louisiana will and must
yet honor Louis \. Witt as he de-
serves, and it will lie Il proud day for
her when she does.
THE SENATE
of course, adjourned with dignity, be.
cause such scenes as the
HOUSE
indn]ged in would mt have been tole-
rated for a moment in the former
body. Imagine a hundred grown
up mtn engaged in lisyracctul rswdy-
ism-tossins paper pcllets-taking
chairs from under sitting gentlemen
and depositing them the gentlemen,
not the cltaitS-on the floor.

TO THE RESCUE.

y "
ca, depicts with wonderful acrura
cy the class of men who enjoy the
fruits of victory, won by grca>
parties. He says in substance
that after a party of principle has
succeeded in revOlutionizing public
sentiment, the command thereof is
as a rule usurped "by small mel
and small parties" whose very idea
of greatness consists in OwliSl 81
lence on measures Ofimportance-
and intrigue and barter to achieve
the most minute end.
Louisiana has reached this con.
ditiOn. The smallest of the small
have succeeded to the crown OF
victory-won by the greatest Of the
great. This conclusion is inevita-
bic to those who look below the
surface. The INDICATOR has
been persistently right from the
beginning, and had we met that
support from our contteres of the
Democratic press of this State,
which the gravity of the situation
demanded, we might be able to
point to other and better results
than those which now ilnperil the
autonomy OF our party.
The policy of the Nichols Ad,
ministration is, and has been a d.
luted copy of Hayes. Both these
efforts are the ideas of 'small mem
and are as wretched in their ends
as the means employed to reach
them are ignoble.
The Supreme Court in the mat
tor of Tom Anderson only perfor
med it's part of what is now known
to be the price of our liberty, a
most shameful bargain.
Nichols, either in person or
through his authorized agents, lat
least as the head of the Govern
ment he must assume all RESPONSE
bility, madeotrade pith the Radicals
last gear. We understand fully the
responsibility we incur in making
this declaration, and upon mere
technical rulings the evidence
which has impelled our reason to
this conclusion would not convict:
but, public sentiment, to which he
and we appeal, will not fail to ac-
cord with our views.
The Governor has done his
share Of giving rewards and sus.
pending punishments. Beginning
with Pinchback and ending. God
only knows where, he has certain
~ assumed to himself enough of
the contempt that the patriot must
hold for all such as deal in these
questionable means to achieve
questionable ends. Man can be.
come satlated with reproach even,
ana our Governor is no execution
10 the rule. He felt no doubt that
other coordinate branches of the
state Government should assume
some OF the disagreeable denunci-
alton as well as to enjoy the honors
conferred. The Supreme Court re-
sponded to thiscondition of affairs
this crisis in the tide of Intrigue
and as an earnest of their capa- |
olities to carry ont a bargain,
they have turned loose upon socie-
ty a criminal whose hand struck a
blow, and we'll nigh a fatal one, at
The very foundation of Civil Liber.
Ey in America.
1t is not our purpose or province

thousands, of every imaginable form:

as large as u mans first to pieces no
