We have had some pretty lively squabbles
between the two branches Of Congress, par
ticularly during the past few years, when
these bodies were OF different politics; but
these deadlocks OF our Legislature are as
nothing compared with the squabble that has
been going on for years between the Assem-
bly, and Council which together constitute the
Legislature Of Victoria, Australia Each AS
sembly and Council, as it is elected, has taken
the side Of It's predecessor and continued
the fight. The Assembly. it may be stated
Is elected by the popular vote; the Council
by those who have a property qualification.
For several years past the business of the
State has been seriously interfered with by
this controversy, these two opposing bodies
refusing to agree on anything, on any laws,
appropriation or legislation Of any kind. At
last, things have come to such pass that
some remedy must be reached. The two
houses, therefore, have finally agreed on an
appropriation, the first they have united on
for months, for the purpose of sending a com
mission to England to confer with the impe-
rial authorities as to some settlement Of this
matter.

We sincerely welcome TO the world OF jour
nalism lie Courier de la Louisiana, which
appeared upon our table yesterday morning
dressed In elegant type The Courier Is pub
lished entirely in the French language. and
sannounces itself the champion of our Creole
American population, and Of all measures
which may rebound to the benefit Of Louisi-
ana. Its profession OF faith" Is Of the high
est standard and eloquently expressed. The
C0mrrier proposes to tell the truth, whatever
may be the consequences, and promises
courtesy even to it's foes. It's programme is
to be Just, truthful and honest, SO that even
it's adversaries will be forced to respect it.
Our new contemporary raises high the Demo-
cratic banner, and pronounces itself yigor-
ously against all monopolies 1t deprecates
any session from the great party which
alone can save Louisiana and restore our be-
loved State to the full exercise OF It's legiti-
mate sovereignty. Again we welcome the
Courier into the journalistic field, not doubt
ing from the names which 1t puts forth as
editorial writer's that it will have the strength
and vigor to fulfil Its programme.

The New York banks do not seem to find
much support outside Of that city in their
war on silver. Even in Philadelphia, an
Eastern city, closely allied with New York,
and Interested in all Eastern enterprises the
national banks have refused to blindly follow
those of New York in the anti-silver resOu-
tions adopted by them some weeks ago. At
meeting of the Philadelphia banks last
Monday, a committee appointed to examine
and report on this subject adopted the first
three resolutions Of the New York Clearing
House, but refused to adopt the fourth reso-
olution, favoring the receipt Of silver only
on deposit. "The silver dollar" they say,
sis legal dollar, and no action OF the
banks discrediting and degrading 1t can
prevent its use as money" 1t was thought
when the course Of the New York banks in
reference to silver was first made known that
1t would probably be followed by the national
banks OF other cities, but this. it seems, is q
mistake. The action of the New York Clear
ing House appears to meet with no response
save from Secretary Sherman. AS against the
popular voice and the banks Of all other por-
tions OF the Union, those of New York can
scarcely carry out their anti-silyer policy.

The Louisiana Lottery Company Is again
In trouble. It's malls were recently seized In
New York under the statute prohibiting the
sending of immoral matter through the post
Office. The attention Of the United States
district attorney was then called to the case
This officer, having IN mind the very peculiar
and evasive opinion rendered by Attorney
General Devers when Postmaster General
Key opened upon the lottery last spring, has
laid the case before him and asks special
decision. 1t will be remembered that Howard
was in Washington pending the last decision
of the Attorney General, and was said to have
"iixed things" before that document was
given to the press. 1t seems that Mr.. Devens
is much perplexed at the new turn the affair
has taken, and proposes to leave the problem
for some time unsolved. 1t would be the
correct thing now for Howard to return to
Washington and give the Attorney General
the benefit Of his luminous legal mind. This
would enable that official to reach a speedy
decision of question In which the public is
largely interested. .

THE STATE PRINTING.

The DEMOCRAT desires to express Its appre-
citation OF the mark Of confidence bestowed
upon 1t by the Printing Board in re-electing
one OF It's proprietors State Printer. For
weeks past anonymous scrbblers have been
busy In writing false and defamatory articles
against the State Printer. and enemies OF the
paper succeeded In getting damaging
special report against the Printer from q
Grand Jury II the charges 50 pertinaciously
made had been just nay, II a sing e one Of
them had been true, or susceptible
of being proved, the State Print
per would have been shown to be
q criminal utterly unworthy Of the confidence
OF the people and utterly unfit to be sus-
tanned by the Printing Board composed, rs
1t is. OF the most prominent public funetiOna-
ries. II these charges had been true no
mere question Of price could have warranted,
and we are sure would not have induced, any
member of the Printing Board to vote for the
reelection of the State Printer who had been
guilty of such criminal acts. The State
Printer is State officer. He Is required
to give bond for the faithful discharge Of
his duties, and to take the oath OF Office
prescribed by the constitution The State of
Louisiana could not afford, for the purpose Of
getting its printing done ut q low price, to &C
cept as State official swndler or per
jurer. Hence, had any member of the Print
ing Board attached the slightest weight to
the charges made against the Printer when
he voted for his reelection that member Of
the board would have stood In the position Of
having, to ostensibly save the State a few
Thousand dollars, voted for q rascal for n
public of1ice-an official who might swindle
the treasury out of many thousands of dol
lars
We take this occasion, therefore, to express
our qualification at the unanimous vote Of the
| Printing Board. by which our associate has
| been reelected State Printer

Considerable feeling was displayed In Con
gress over the report Of the Committee on
Appropriations regarding the omission Of n
clause In the sundry civil service bill, relating
to the reappointme Of the Hot Springs com
mission The omission was discovered too
late in the summer session for 1t TO be sup
piled. It now appears that Secretary Sher-
man charges, upon information received
through the secret service bureau, that Sena-
tor Conover, ofqIorida, caused tho omis-
sion Mr.. Conover has secured n Senate com
mittee of investigation and the matter rests
there for the present. If the charge against
The Senator is sustained he will have some
difficulty in retaining his seat, even though
his vote is necessary TO secure Republican
majority. The entire affair is q mystery and
requires some calculation. The distinct fea-
ture Of the case thus far is that the Senator is
broadly charged with stealing. An important
clause in the bill is certainly missing, and the
secret service bureau says that Senator Como
yer distracted it.

ment and set up an oligarchy. to which the
masses Of the people shall bow down and
acknowledge allegiance; an oligarchy under
whose wings monopolies, rings and corpora
tons may find shelter and protection, while
the great principles OF the constitution and OF
civil liberty wither and perish.
This Is the Issue the American people are
to meet in the near future, and 1t Is time now
that they should begin to array themselves
In opposition to a party and the pernicious
measures OF a party, led by corrupt and ambi-
tious politicians who are ready and willing to
sacrifice, not only the principles OF free gov
eminent, but also the material interests OF the
Republic to their aspirations and to the inter-
est Of rings, monopolies and banks.

The people OF South Carolina have thought
1t worth while to reply to the fictions of North
ern hloody-shirt papers. and have gone to
work to collect evidence to refute their wild
rhodamontades. This evidence, backed by
hundreds of affidavits from leading citizens,
will be published for the benefit Of the North.
1t seems that the Republican defeat In the
Charleston district, was largely due to tho
tactics adopted by the Republican Leaders,
These leaders initiated the policy pursued by
Packard's followers in this State in 1876, and
brought all the negroes they could from the
country into town to vote them there The
polling places In town were consequently
surrounded and crowded by these country
negroes, to the exclusion Of white men and
many Of their own race. Thus 1t was that the
second ward OF Charleston went Republican,
although 1t contained white majority. But
this policy defeated the Republicans, as owing
to the number Of negroes from the country
coming to the city to vote, many were chal-
lenged and questioned. This, of course, took
up much time and prevented a great many
persons voting This negro immigration
into the city explains the extraordinarily
large vote at some Of the Charleston polls,
which vote was accepted by the bloody-shirt
papers as proof Of fraud; and it was this
trick that defeated the Republicans, as many
Of the negroes who were brought into town
were unable to vote from the crowds at the

Mr.. Gibson's proposed resolution to request
President Hayes to furnish Congress the in
formation upon which he made grave charges
against Louisiana nearly affecting the fair
fame of the State and its citizens, is highly
proper. similar resolution, including South
Carolina, Is to be pressed in the Senate by
Senators Eustis and Butler. The President
will now have an opportunity to make
his charges good by showing that he had
specific information Of the outrages and
violations Of the law generally alluded TO-
based upon the Sery best of evidence,
or be regarded as wholesale slanderer
of the people of the States Of South Caro-
Tina and Louisiana. Here we are prepared to
meet the issue raised, and call for full in
yestigation of the late election. Let our Rep
resentatives press these resolutions that
we may know who are our villifiers, or
whether the President assumed vague and in
definite reports to be facts and acted upon the
information thus obtained. The responsible
party or parties should be exposed and made
to substantiate the injurious statements cir
culated about the two States and finding ex-
preston in the Presidents late message. Ii
they cannot do this they will stand convicted

The Second District OF Florida is still In
doubt and gives the politicians good deal Of
trouble in making up their tables. Two coun-
ties yet remain to be heard from, Brevard and
Dade, both polling a very small vote. It Is
reported that Brevard gives Hull, Democrat
majority Of 80, which would elect him. It
Is barely possible that Brevard may return
this majority for the Democrats; but the fact
that it has only $50 votes within its limits
would seem to cast some suspicion on this
majority. The news from Florida will be all
In by next summer.
