An amusingly ludicrous event oe-
Cured before the Potter lnvestlga-
ton Committee last week, when Dir.
Whitney, Superintendent OF the
Western Union Telegraph, appeared
in answer to summons to pro-
dpce the Geographic communications
that had passed between Anderson
and Mrs. jerks during certain
months. Mr.. Whitney was very re-
inctant to testify, saying that the
kilograms were privileged and that
he would only produce them on com
pulsiou. OF course this whetted the
voracious appetite OF the Committee
and a vote to compel the witness TO
testify was at once passed, where
upon the witness said lie wpuld read
all the communications in existence
aud proceeded with the following:
To ]. e. Anderson Are you coming oyer
- ,,',.ro1y Answer. A. ID. jerks.
The committee waited for more,
but Mr.. Whitney said that was all.
I AT first the inquisitors looked aston,
ished, then yexed, then amused, aud
finally ended the farce with general
hearty laugh and dismissal OF the
witness. oEN iNG

Moncure's Mortgage Denied.
Iberyille South.

A number of the North Louisiana
papers are advocating the claims of
Mai. j. C.. Moucure TO the candidacy
of State Treasurer. We have no per-
sonal objection to Maj. Moncure. He
is good, stauneh aud true Democrat,
and we believe if lie was elected to
the position he would serve the State
honestly and faithfully. But we do
object to his hereditary right OF
claims, as it were, to a nomination.
Mr.. Moncure was elected four years
ago, he ran his chances then and
failed to get the office. He was un-
lucky, and we want no unlueky men.
Had John McEnery been nominated
in 1876 he would have been defeated,
for he had not that prestige that
carried Gov. Nichols into office.
And now did not Gov. NJ emery have
the same right to II denomination as
is claimetl for Mr.. Moneure We
think So, and are therefore of the
opinion that Mr.. Moncure starts in
the race for the candidacy for State
Treasurer, at the hands of the Demo
cratic party, with no greater claim
than any other Democrat or conser.

Louisiana Republicanism.

In our leading editorial last week, |
speaking of the shameful disclosures
elected by the Potter ST b-committee,
we remarked that
Assuming the truth of the exposi-
ton in essential particulars, 1T must
be apparent to all good citizens VINO
regard the veal of the commonwealth
as a consideration superior to partisan
political domination, that Republicans
rule in Louisiana came to an END not
moment too soon. Those VINO con
scientiously elung to the party ana
defended its government from princi-
ple and with pure motives, can freely
make this confession, in SORROW 1t
may be, but without qualification.
The following article from the New
York Times, the leading Republican
journal of the country, indicates state
of feeling among the mass of Northern
Republicans similar to that Indicated
BIZ the CHIEF, as above quoted. The
Times says:
If anything can reconcile Northern
Republicans TO the withdrawal of the
Federal government from therclations
which it sustained towards the poli-
tics of certain Southern States, the
proceedings of the Potter investiga
ton will have that effect. To this
extent the committee may prove 10
be a blessing in disguise. There had
long been IL dim perception of the
decentralization wrought, especially
| ia Louisiana-of the degradation OF
the party, the worthlessness of many
of its agents, the sacrifice of great in
terests to selve the purposes OF local
pal tisans, and the embarrassment oc-
tsioned both to the government and
the Republican, cause by the evel-
recurring necessity of exeusing and
sustaining questionable measures.
1t was felt that Louisiana politicians
were Il heavier load than the party
should be required to carry, and that
} a righteous cause suffered from the
bad name of many of its advocates.
This Potter inquiry, however signaliy
it fails in all that concerns the chiei
objects of its promoters, at least con,
vinces the better class of Republicans
that the party will be fostered by tllt

SENATOR STEEDMAN's bill, allowing a
Judgment debtor two years in which to
redeem his real estate, when sold by the
Sheriff on an execution, has passed the
Senate. 1t provides that instead of the
officer giving the purchaser a sheriff7s
deed for tbe, property. he shall give him
q receipt for the purchase money; the
judgment-debtoF is to remain in posses
sion of the real estate until the expira-
zion Of the two Years-the debtor being
liable to the purchaser for q reasonable
compensation for the use of the property
if he does not redeem It. If he does re-
deem it within the two years, the pur-
chaser is entitled to eight per cent. for
the use of the money thus paid.

become a law it will put stop to sales of
real estate on execution, for men who
have money will not be running crazy to
make Investments Of that character

county, on Saturday morning last, in the
18th year of his age. Mr.. Wade was in
Congress from this State 1a years, and no
man stood higher in the estimation of his
constituents than did Mr., Wade. During
all the terrible conflict between the
friends Of freedom and slavery, MI, Wade
was the incorporating friend and
champion of freedom. Mr., Wade was, in
his address and department, not the most
refined gentleman that ever graced the
Senate chamber, but he was solid man !;
man who possessed an enviable reputa-
tiOn for strict honesty and integrity; a
sound, practical, useful man in every ca
pacity in which he had been called to act j;
and the great pity is, that there are but
few men his equal, out Of whom to make
Congressman.

The Silver Bill. after having passed
both houses of Congress by more than
two-thirds of the members of each mousse
was sent to the President for his approx
al or rejection, and, as had been unmls-
takably foreshadowed, it was returned
tn the House of Representatives, where
the bill originated, with his veto message,
in which he sets forth his objections to
20 the bill.
He regards demonstration of silver and
the making of it a legal tender for debts
already contracted, as violation of good
faith between the government and its
creditors, as he assumes it gives the gov
ernment the right to pay its obligations
in currency that is, or will be, below
par; and by this means we may destroy
our credit with other governments that
do not recognize silver coin as a standard
of value.
If we reject the fact that the bill pro-
vides for the payment of bonds, and all
of the governments debts, in accordance
with the provisions in the contract, and
that at the time large portion of these
bonds were bought of the government
silver, as well as gold, was a legal tender
for any or all of our Indebtedness, unless
otherwise stipulated in the contraet-had
not this been the : faet-then there
might be objections to passing law fol-
their payment in silver coin. The pur-
chasers of these bonds knew that botf
metals in this country were legal money
and the reason why the government die
not agree to pay in gold was because i
was expected that they would be redeem
ed in both metals, at the discretion of thu
government; and they were bought, nj
doubt, understandingly.
But the President has vetoed measur

of ten of the voters of the west.

The decrease in the public debt during
the month of February was 81, $50, ,237,

suver coin.

We notice that in New York City that
silver coin was, on the first of March,
quoted at from n to414 per cent, discount
from gold coin; and this, too, was before
silver was remonetized, when you could
not pay a debt with it Of more than five
dollars, if the creditor refused to accept
it in payment; and right in the face of
this quotation of the price of silver coin.
the opponents of the silver bill were tell
ing us that it was worth buts so cents
on the dollar, and talking piously about
the great injustice of paying our debts
with deprecated currency. The whole
argument against the legalizing and coin
ing of silver money is all moon-shine. and
as deceptive as the tricks of the professors
in legerdemain. 1t was an unsuccessfnI
scare-crow, and failed to answer the mr.
pose for which the trick was designed
Congress did not scare worth a cent, and
the silver bill is the law of the land; and
although it will not fill eYerybody's pock-
cts with dollars, as some may vainly an
ticipate, it will, it is confidently hoped,
settle the currency question and restore
confidence in the permanency Of our busi-
ness relations with each other. It is to
be hoped that it win place the question
of system of currency beyond the reach
OF demagOgues and reckless politicians
where it will not be liable to be distracted
and torn to pieces at every turn of the
political wheel, or at the change of parti
san power. Now let there be peace, and
lets us all go to work, and by honest in
dustry and legitimate trade, try to &C
quIre share of the big white dollars.--
The Government is not going to fill oul
yawning,empty purses with shovel, W,
must acquire them by industry and con
stant, honest toll; we must produce some
ching to exchange for these dollars If W,
would possess them. That's our idea o
the finance question.
