the information brought TO the President by the
Republican members of the Teller Committee, who
visited the White House last night They told the
President that while Whartons appearance might
not be in his favor. he was undoubtedly man OF
great courage and in the present emergency pecu-
iaIly fitted for the place he holds Judge Billings
has also written letter saying that the business OF
the Court would suffer II change should now be
made IN the Marshals Office.
Louisiana Republicans think that there will cer-
talnly be political alliances in that State before
the Presidential election of next year, and that the
changes now made in the Federal offices at New-
Orleans will promote the breaking mp of the Dem
ocratic party At the last election there were two
political OrganiZatiOns-not epublican-Opposed 10
the Democratic party, the Conservative and the
National, the latter putting more stress on Local.
questions than upon those of National finance. y
combination of these two organizations with the
Republicans is now believed to be not only possible
but probable, and such a combination would be
able to carry the state. Such alliance u is also
believed. would sustain the National candidates o1
the Republican parry.
In view OF the possible effect, therefore, Of these
appointments on the political future OF LOUISIANA
they become very important.

tor Hoar, who said that the Senator from COnnec-
trent had repeated an assertion which had been
several times made during the progress of the de-
bate by Democratic Senators. Senator HOar
said that the resolutions under discussion
embodied an expression of opinion by the
Senate of the United States upon the most
important questions which can now come before
Congress the people and that current events are
emphasizing the immediate necessity for Congress
sional action in the very matter embodied in the
resolutions. Senator Hoar made an aliusiOn to the
fraud and terrible crimes by which the Democracy
had gained control Of the South.
The Senator was met By alluSiOns 10 alleged IT.
rcgularties in Massachusetts and Colorado.
This brought Senator Teller 70 his feet His
speech in defence of his people and his arragnment
% the Southern buldozers made one of the most
telling efforts of the debate and gave earnest Of
that which may be expected when his report upon
Southern affairs is prepared. He asserted that no
Democrat of Colorado had been deprived IN any
manner Of the fullest exercise of his polt-
ical rights, and he declared that It
any man should maintain the contrary, and
ask for investigation by the committee over which
he had the honor TO preside, his vote should be
given IN tho committee and in the Senate in
favor of such an amendment. lie said that no
downtrodden class exists in Colorado as there does
in Louisiana and South Carolina, which Is unable
to protect Itself against the tyranny of superior
race but that the Democratic citizens OF
Colorado wOuld have risen at once IN their
own defence had the Republicans undertaken TO
practise there the methods by which the Democrats
had deferred and DISTINGUISHED the colorcd race IN
the South.
TIE DEMOCRATS BEATEN.
Speeches were made by Senators Morgan, Noor-
hccs and Wadleigh. but very little OF interest
was said by them, and the backbone OF
the Democracy began TO waver under the
pressure. At 10 o'clock they surrendered
their opposition TO a vote, and those Democratic
Senators WHO were present put themselves for
mally upon record as unwilling to affirm the valid
ity of the XIIIth, XIVth and XVIII Amendments Of
the Constitution. Thus the object sought by Sena-
tor Edmunds in Offering In resolutions was gained
The pretcnce which was maintained. that the
irregularities, frauds and murders by which the
South has been made solid for the Democracy were
actions for which the Democratic party could be
held responsible, was destroyed by the formal and
deliberate action Of the entire body Of Democratic
Senators.
