THE LOUISIANA PERPIExlTY

There seems to be no doubt that the Dem
ocratic members of the Louisiana Sub-COm-
mittee which has been investigating the Kel-
| logg aud SpOfiord case find themselves sadly
| perplcxed by the testimony they have COL
lccSed They went to New-Orleans with the
hope and expectation of getting abundant
evidence TO sustain the exclusion of Mr.. kel-
logg from his seat We do not say that they
intended to make a case whatever the facts
might be; but the Democratic party, wanting
Mr.. Kellogg's place, has no difficulty in be-
ieying that it ought to have it: and it is not
unreasonable to suppose that its representa-
tives on this Subcommittee approached the
inquiry with very strong prepOssessions as well
as with ardent desire The trouble now is not
with the quantity of the testimony but with
its character. Witnesses in abundance have
sworn to the payment of brIbes and 10 other
offences. but they have been so thoroughly
discrcdited that it is impossible TO accept
their statements. Moreover, the testimony
such as il is-appears to lie at least as strong
against Spofford as against the Senator in
possession, and if the Committee believe that
corrupt influences were used on the one side,
they must believe, upon the same sort of evil
dence. that corrupt influences were used on
| the other. We are not surprised to learn,
under the circumstances, that all the investi-
| gators are perfectly disgusted with Louisiana
Witnesses"
Here one would think the case ought to
stop, bat some of the Democratic newspapers
seem TO be preparing the public mind for n
new scheme. They suggest that the Senate
NAV declare the seat vacant, and order a new
election. That is to say, they may make the
bad character of the witnesses against Kellogg
reason for excluding Spofford, and the bad
character Of the witnesses against Spofford
reason for expe!lDg Kellogg. None of the
testimony being entitled to belief, it Is pro-
posed that the court shall believe it all, and
pronounce judgment against both plaintiff and
defendant. on the distinct ground that each
has failed to make out case against the
other
This is novel theory of jurisprudence.
Mr.. Kellogg has been regularly admitted to
the Senate and has held the seat for more
than two years. The burden of proof that he
is entitled to it does not rest upon him now.
All the presumptions are in his favor He
cannot be lawfully dispossesstd. except upon
positive proof that no obtained his election
by improper means, and 1t seems to be ad-
mitted that it is impossible to extract such
proofs from the fragments of perjury laid be-,
fore the Sub Committee by a brigade Of
Louisiana liars. Whatever the necessities of
marty. we do not believe the Senate of the
United States can bring itself to commit the
outrage which Democratic newspapers are
nlonninp for it,

the merits of candidates disputed election
like that OF $40, with its prolonged anxiety
and peril, would not have been possible under
the system originally prevalent. There have
been many warnings that the Democrats mean
to count themselves in next year. and the
shameless job tlreaienedin in Maine is only one
of many signs of that purpose. Murders at
tho South and frauds at the North. revoll-
tonary demands for repeal of election laws,
and threats to stop the supplies OF Govern
meat, all point to the same end. The North
demands that these things shall cease. IL de-
mauds that conspiracics against the freedom
of elections and the supremacy OF laws shall

SPLIT GLElNING

The first device of the recognized Street
Cleaning Bureau promises little but dirt and
yeaation. 1t is ordered that hereafter the
emptying of ash barrels shall begin at
a. m, instead OF at evening. If the process
were to begin and end in the very early morn
ing, as it does in some foreign cities, the
change would be a good one; but our Police
Board merely returns to the old custom OF
prolonging the collection through the entire
day. If deliberate attempt had been made
to lind out How Not to Do 1t, the Board could
hardly have hit upon any other plan than
this.
Tie curbstones being lined all day with ash
barrels, the sidewalks Of course will never be
Glenn. The customary morning sweeping oil
tho walk may as well be abandoned, for the
chifonier and the a-h-collectOr between
them will undo all that the household broom
may have accomplished. The corporation
carts will lumber along the streets during the
hours when they are most thronged, and
clouds of ashes will load the cir just at the
time when the people arc all abroad. OF the
hideous appearance of the thoroughfares M
der this new regulation we need rot say
much. The citizens will soon have a chance
TO enjoy the spectacle.
Meanwhile let Us remind Mayor Cooper that
the responsibility for clean streets rests upon
him. He is armed with power to hold the
Police Commissioners to strict performance
of their duty. Once he served notice of re-
moval on members of the Board for neglect to
clean the streets, and row the same dclill-
quency has been repeated, only in an aggra-
waited degree. What is Mayor Cooper going to
do about it And if he does nothing what
will Governor Cornell be likely to do with the
Malor after the LIST OF January

The Washington dispatches report an I'M

of the caucus of Republican Senators. This is
composed Of eight Senator's and of these only
one Mr. Morrill, dissents from the conclusion
of the majority. This is to recommend that
the Republicans, as q party iii the Senate,
shall take a stand against all legislation dur
ing the present session upon subjects connected
with the currency, whether touching gold,
silver or greenbacks. This means. of course,
a refusal to adopt the recommendations OF the
President and Secretary of the Treasury
respecting the withdrawal of the legal-tender
quality from Treasury notes and the retire
ment of certain proportion of the notes

the Advisory Committee represents all SECTIONS
of the country and probably all the financial
differences which exist among the Repnbllcan
Senators, this overwhelming majority in favor
of policy of nOn-agitation makes it probable
that the party as whole will take its stand
upon that side. Neither party Is likely to be
united upon this question; but number of
Democrats, if not most of them, desire,
for reasons entirely different from those which
actuate the Republicans, to enforce the same
policy. Ii the proportion of Republican Sena-
