LOUISIANA.

New ORLEANS, Jan. THE
Teller Subcommittee met tnis
morning in Surveyor Wells private
Office at the Custom House. All
the members were present. Sena-
tor Garland asked if there would
be any special programme pub
lished. The Chairman answered
that there had been no programme
arranged, but that when a neigh
borhood was reached it would be
gone through with. Mr.. Garland
then suggested that neighborheods
be designated, so that witnesses
might be notified. The Chairman
mentioned that the charges of fraud
in Nachitoches, Tensus and Caddo
parishes would be first considered.
Senator Cameron said that charges
had come from every part of the
State and it might be impossible to
define any exact part. Senator
Bailey thought that as near as pos
slble some definite plan OF proceed
ings should be adopted so that
the charges could be met by evil
dence on the other side. The Chair
man declared he would allow all
the necessary time for the produc,
ton of such evidence. J. Ernest
Breda, testified. Hei is native of
Natchitoches, has been a Republi-
can since 1871. Did not take part
in the last campaign because he was
driven from home in September on
account of his political principles.
He said the negroes were ground
down and treated with cruelty. He
detailed the assaults made upon
himself and his brother, who were
endeavOring to address a Republi-
can meeting in December last. He
said they were forced to flee to the
woods for safety and leave home to
escape the threatened assaults upon
them. DR.. A. P. Breda, also testi-
fed corroborating the first witness.

The Cabinet session to-day was
devoted principally to the discussion
of the favorable financial situation.

WE present TO our readers this
morning the mes essage of Gov. James
d. Porter to the FOrty-first General
Assembly. II treats Of a great many
questions OF interest to Tennesseeans,
but the question of paramount inter.
est, IS be says. is that of the State
debt. The general remarks of the
Governor on that subject breathe the
true spirit. There Is no question about
the ruinous effect Of reputation upon
the material welfare of the State. 1t
will damage our reputation for honesty
and bring loss in collars and cents,
amounting to many times more than
the sum repudiated.
The Governor states that PROPOSE
ton has been made for COM
promise of the debt ut fifty
cents on the dollar. The source
from whence this proposition came,
has never appeared clearly, and
we have never been convinced that it
came in 3 way which commends it
to the consideration Of the Legislature.
The Governor throws no new light
upon it. If it is bona .fds PROPOSE
ton from an authoritative source, it
ought to be accepted, as 1t is certainly
as liberal as could be expected. The
proposition for compromise st sixty
per cent, we are satisfied, came from
an authoritative source, and we have
always favored its acceptance. Let
the matter be carefully investigated
Dy the Legislature, but whatever we
do' DO not let it be said that we have
OulIdozsd our creditors into q compro-
mise at low figures, which they accept
because they think it is that or moth
ing.

bear interest at 3.65 per cent. per
annum, and to be convertible at
any time within one year from their

the general feeling was highly fa-

XIV CONGRESS.
% ENAT TIE.
WASHINGTON. Jan. I.

There were a large number of
petitions presented during the
morning hour, among them many
from women in various parts of the
country, asking Congress to enact
such legislation as will make effect
i've the anti-pligomy law of 1852.
Also from various citizens protest
ing against the passage of the pend
ing bill to revise, amend and coll
late the laws relating to patents,
and against the transfer of the In
dian Bureau to the War Department.
All were referred to appropriate
committees.
Bills were introduced as follows ::
By Hamlin, of Maine, for the more
efficient collection of postal reve~
nues; referred to the Commit
tee on Post-offices and Post~roads.
By Mr.. Booth, of California
For the interchange of subsidiary
silver coin and United States notes.
Referred to the Committee on
Finance.
By Mr.. Mcdonald, of Indiana
To authorize the taxation of OUT
standing legal notes of the United
States. Referred to the Judiciary
Committee at his request.
Mr.. Edmunds, of Vermont,
said that on this glad morning of
the new year, when there was peace
and joy and hope everywhere, he
thought it best to offer a resolution
tending to cement more perfectly
the good will and harmony now ex-
listing all over the country. He
therefore submitted resolution de-
claring that, in the judgement of
the Senate, the Thirteenth, Four
teen and Fifteenth Amendments to
the Constitution Of the United
States have been legally ratified,
and are as valid as the other parts
of the Constitution; that it is the
right and duty of Congress to en-
force such amendments by appro-
pirate legislation, and the duty of
the Executive Department of the
Government, faithfully and with
diligence, to impartially execute
such laws; that it is the duty of
Congress to appropriate money to
that end, and instructing the Ju-
dietary Committee to report a bill
for the protection of the rights of
citizens and the punishment of the
infractions thereof. Laid on the
table at the request of Mr.. Ed
munds, to be called up hereafter.
Mr.. VOORHEES,, of Indiana, during
the morning hour, called up the res
olution submitted by him early in
the session, instructing the Judi
ciary Committee to inquire into the
expediency of making trade dollars
legal tender, and providing for its
re-coinage into standard silver dol
lars. He addressed the Senate at
length in a favor of the resolution
and denouncing the trade dollar as
money, which having
failed in its mission abroad, had re-
turned home to cheat honest people
of this country. The amount of
such dollars coined was ($35,O0O,
OOO) larger than the people had
