THE LOTLSI1NA WITNESSES.

There have been lies enough, and more
than enough, in the Louisiana controversy.
All sorts of liars have been developed; the
red-headed, the brunette, and the gray-haired /;
the witty, the stoid and the mercantile and
practical. But it is time to observe that the
Democrats of Louisiana, who caused and be.
gan this sort of thing, are getting the worst
of it. The well-knOwn initiative faculty of
the colored race is making it hot" for the
hlgh-toned conservative, who used to march
ND clergymen and bank officers and business
men TO tell untruths for him with glibness and
grace. For years, when cOlored Republicans
were being assassinated and massacred in
every part of Louisiana, the colored people
used to see grave and respectable and wealthy
citizens coming forward, whenever sO-called
" conservatism u wanted their aid, to swear
that there was no disturbance of any kind in
all the State; that the negroes were treated
with consideration and kindness that Repub-
licans were welcomed and were free that
stringent measures and military interference
were inexcusable; and that there had
been no frauds. no whippings, no as
sassinations, and no massacres-excepting
that a negro army would occasionally make
war upon white squad, with the customary
result, 4" fifty negroes killed and wounded,
land one white man scTatchedn At the
North, the people who knew little about the
actual condition of Louisiana Were impressed
by these affidavits and declarations. In
Louisiana, however, the cOlored people knew
the facts. They perceived that the most out
rageous falsehoOds were employed with effect
by their enemies 1t occurred to them, at
last, to initiate the superior race" and see
what they could do in the way OF lying. The
members of Congress for five or six years
past can bear testimony as to the aptness of
the scholars.
In the same way, the colored people of
Louisiana learned other political arts. They
saw laws passed by white Legislatures for
the purpose of depriving the black men of
their rights, and when the wheel had
turned, black Legislatures showed great
ingenuity in framing laws for the incon-
yenience and disadvantage of white men.
1t was said by Governor Warmoth, doubtless
with truth, that the most corrupt set of men
he ever found in Louisiana was the old set
of white politicians who had been running
things before the. war, and that these
men practised the art of bribery with such
success, when the first Republican Legislatures
were in session, that it became necessary u
New-York tribune., 1879-06-11

lty made virtue of necessity. 1t resolved 10
back down, and sent a committee to explore
the ground, and to discover some path oy
which the party could crawl out. Inc
Legislative bill, as it was passed by the
House, was one product of this exploration
and the fact that all the Republicans votea
for it. while twenty-five Democrats voted
AGAINST il. is proof that the cOercive and rev.
olutionary plan has, in that particular, been
completely defeated.
The proceedings as to the Army bill were
still more discreditable to the Democrats. Inc
bill originally passed, as the Presidents Ve'o
showed, was intended to deprive the Govern
ment of all power to employ its military force
in enforcing its election laws, or in sustaining
its officials in the prevention of fraud or vio-
Ience at the polls. This was the measure
which the Democratic caucus s0lemhiy Ic-
solved to insist upon as condition oi 'no
further support of the Army. When the ma
iorty found that it could not hold ltseii 10
gether in the attempt to coerce the En-,
ecutiye. the committee of exploration 1riilheu
a bill which merely prohibits the use OF troops
"as a police at the polls" lnasmuch as no
Renubhcan of any sort or shade has ever de-
sired to have single soldier employed III
that way, the bill was satisfactory to the he
publicans of the House, and they moved 10
pass it Immediately. But the measure does
not seem to have been equally satisfactory 10
the Democrats, though they did not dare 10
permit a direct vote upon it without turther
laboring with the stubborn brethren. Accord
ingly. nearly all the Democrats voted to ad-
iourn, while every Republican except two
voted in favor OF immediate action upon the
bill.
In the end. the Army bill will also pass
without any feature of cOerciye character
Then there will remain only the appropila-
tions for judicial expenses, which tue COM
mittee of exploration has embodied IN
separate bill with provisions designed to pre-
vent the employment of supervisors ana the
enforcement of the election laws, which bill
the House passed yesterday. The votes Ill the
House show that the majority deliberately IN
tend to refuse an appropriation required Dy
laws still unrepealed If the Senate persists
in this refusal, the President VIII have a
good reason for sending the bill back ior
correction. In the end it will be discovered
whether members of Congress have any rlght
to disobey laws which they cannot repeal.
The majority has heard enough OF pubic
oniniou TO become sick of the coerclye ana
revolutionary policy to which it originally
resorted, but it ought to be held TO the RACK
until its abandonment of that course is COM
plete and uneQuivocal.

the conservatives that the respectable" ana
white way to govern was the corrupt way, the
colored citizens soon learned how to make

of Louisiana regrets that the colored men ever

of Sp0flord himself, and by no one else.
These statements, moreover, they adhere 10
with remarkable pertinacity, In spite OF threats
and prosecutions for perjury, and all the skill
of shrewd Democratic lawyers fails TO snake
their testimony in any material respect. Ii
the morals of these witnesses are low, IL Is
only fair to remember that they have seen

ana morals credItable az well as pr0ftabie

to expose them for the sake OF party and con-
science. The obvious fact in the matter Is that
certain Republican Representatives. were, In
some mysterious way, induced to go into the
Nichols Legislature and to vote for Spotford.
The story of the witnesses is the only expla-
nation yet given of that performance. and the
connection between the Democratic party and
the State Lottery Of Louisiana, to which Beau
regard and Early give their names, is not an
unnatural one.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

The back-down of the Democrats in re-
snect TO two of the bills which they asserted
their determination to insist upon to the
"bitter end" is now complete. They have
passed the Legislative Appropriation bill with
out any of the political conditions originally
demanded so stubbOrnly as to render neces-
-sorv an extra session and subsequent veto.
In fact, the bill was put into such shape that
no Republican voted against it, and the
TWENTY-FIVE negative votes were all cast by
"last ditch y Democrats. 1t will be under
stood by the country that this unconditional
surrender by the majority OF the Democrats
was not more meritorious than that of the
rebels at Fort DOnelsOn. The last ditch
leaders were those who originally controlled
the Democratic caucus, caused the extra ses-
sion and committed the party to the plan
of coercing the Executive or stopping
the wheels of Government, Then the ex-
tremIsts had a large majority of the
Democrats with them, and the entire party
consented TO be ruled by the caucus. But the
successive vetoes, coming like solid shot from
the White House, and the strong expression
of popular indignation, finally drove portion
of the Democrats to mutiny against the rule
of the caucus. 1t became certain that their
votes would be cast against its revolutionary
programme, and in sufficient number, with
the Republican votes, to insure the passage of
proper appropriation bills. Then the major

"WIR RECORDSD IN OHIO.

The Democratic nomination OF two gentle
men who served on the Union side during the
late war, for the leading offices in Ohio, has
awakened something like enthusiasm in many
newspaper Offices where the promotion of Union
soldiers has not ordinarily aroused patriotic
fervor. There was one such case-the nomina-
ton of a Union soldier by Democrats. and
for very high ofice-which did have a SIM
liar effect in those localities. In that case, as
in this, the demonstrations of satisfaction
were not over the fact of the nomination., but
over the trick it covered. "We cannot with
"any propriety be charged with disloyalty

Bennett and Mrs. Smith, who were sentenced to
death last Monday at Jersey City, for the joint
murder of the womau's husband, are doubtless be-
lieyed by many people to be innocent. There Is
nothing remarkable about this, because whenever
there is conviction under such circumstances
there are always a considerable number of kind
hearted folk who are not satisfied with the justice
of the verdict. 1t always has been So and always
will be. The feeling in New-Jersey takes the form
OF money subscription TO pay the costs of an APP
peal 10 the Court OF Pardons 1t is little surprs-
ing to find that this is necessary. Certainly the most
absolute pauper. in the position of this miserable
pair should not lind his poverty an impediment in
the way of justice. The money, it appears, il is
necessary TO expend In preparing and printing the
evidence 1t does credit 10 the people of the gh
borhood that they should set afoot subscription
TO meet the contingency; but it ought not to be
necessary. 1t IL curious to read that Miss Emma

New-York tribune., 1879-06-11

The adoption by the House of Representa-
tives, without division, of resolution to ad-
iourn on the 18th inst, comes under the head OF
news too good, almost, to be true. The extra ses-
sion, IN its three months duration, baspresented
such an uninterrupted succession of crimes
which were blunders, and blunders which
were crimes, that it has seemed to last an
age, and the country has been settling down
into desperate sort of belief that it was to
last forever. No doubt the news will not prove
so good as it seems, and there will be some post
ponement of the day of actual dispersion. But
the possibility is already apparent, and that
is great deal. When the adjournment has
finally been had, the Democratic majority
may take pride in rejecting that they have
at last done something for the good both OF
the Democratic party and the country.
