In the Senate there has been a vote

There wers 10 votes for reference and
81 against. Some Senators who were

pose the reconciliation of silver profess
to see in this vote proof that no silver

There is endless speculation as tc
subjects of investigation under the
Glover resolution. AS the Committees
are given practically unlimited powers.
and can bring to the stand officials and
g. officials as they chose. it is not won
derful that a great many people fee
uneasy. If the Committees could uneartf
half the corruption g of the last few
years they would expose enough to as
tonish the country. With the power
given them they ought to do SO. Two
things are necessary, in order that theil
reports. when made, shall have weight

be public, and no favoritism should be

that suffrage will be in anyway recog-

An Ohio representative has prepared

The Cons nstitutIOnal Amendments.
[Ouachita Telegraph

The result of the late election, with refer
ence to the proposed amendments to the con-
stitution of this State, is a square-out con-
demnation. In nearly all the parishes Of the
State, the tickets were printed for or
against the proposed amendments. These
tickets should have been printed positively
against the proposed amendments, but they
were not. But the result is pretty much the
same, because the attempt by the last Legis-
lature to patch the Infamous constitution Of
1863 framed by the Radicals, and enforced by
Warmoth, Ludeling and others, has met with
the disapproval outright Of the Intelligent
voters of the State.
There can be, therefore, no amendment to
the constitution of this State approved and
ratified, unless majority of the voters at
said election ia general election for represen-
tatives to the General Assembly, consent
thereto. No such consent has been given.
The amendments have been defeated straight
out, as they ought to have been, and scarcely
member Of the Legislature who has been
before the people for Endorsement has sur
vived the banter. They are eall gone down, and
they ought all to have gone down: They
were elected to redeem louisiana and were
pledged, as men seldom are, to make Lousl-
ana State Of freemen, They slept on watch
and the people have ordered they should be
, shot,
