BRAZGN EFFRONTERY.

Prominent among the members OF
the General Assembly, who fought
bravely for honest laws and faithful
adherence to the spirit and letter OF
the Constitution, were Senators Cum
ningham, Luckett, Watkins, Butling-
ton and others. No inducements or
threats were of avail TO cause them to
depart from the line of their duty as
representatives of the interests OF
their constituents or as champions OF
the honor of our State and of the
Democratic party.
In tho midst of one of the most un-
scrupulous cabals ever organized in
our Legislatures, firmly dld they re-
main at their posts, sans peuw ct sans
reproche!
And the good people throughout
the State will applaud aud remember
those honorable public servants whom
no temptation could seduce.
When it is remembered, that with
very few exceptions, the press of New
Orleans, that "argns-eyed and virtu-
Gus press" that was SO indispensable
ut the Capital, ..as was argued in the
Constitutional Convention by the OPP
ponents of removal, to expose the
evil practices of Legislators-aye,
that very press almost in unison at
tackled these patriotic gentlemen by
grossly impugning their motives, in
order to deceive public opinion else
where.
The attempt, however, has signally
failed, and those worthy representa-
tivcs will be welcomed ut their homes
by q grateful people, who thoroughly
comprehend the brazen eff'rontery
displayed by these city papers, who
can well say: "lNea Culpa."

The tricks that were practiccd in
the late New Orleans convention, so
n friend of ours remarked on Wednes-

them within the last six months, so

RIDING THE WILLING HORSE TO
DEATH,


DEATH.
From accounts az well as from the
proceedings of the late Democratic
Convention held at New Orleans, we
learn that the political prestiligitators
who, for some time back, have been
bamfoozIiug the representatives from
the parishes in the General Assembly
and the party conventions, became so
bold and confident as to I'll row aside
even the semblance of decdncy.
They formed their combinations, as
usual before hand, aud by swapping
votes here and there; even, 50 it isas-
serted, by incorrect counts of ballots,
succeeded in having their own way In
the matter of elcctng the delegates to
the Cincinnati Convention.
We have nothing to say about tue
gentlemen who have been chosen. But
we do say that the convention should
not have allowed itself to tic played
npon 50 bnrelnccdly as to permit the
hopored names of those MANNED vet
Grams and patriotic citizens Generals
Francis r. Nichols and Xebulon York,
to be triHed with and finally defeated
through the methods that were rcsor-
ted to.
The Convention in submitting to
such Juggling failed to represent the
sentiments and the wishes of the
Democratic party Of Louisiana, who
believe that the presence of Gems.
Nichols and York among the delega-
ton, would have reflected creditnpon
the State.
This ought to be n lesson for the
future and the people of the parishes
should be careful ~ to whom they
send to represent them, SO that men
of putty are not given into the hands
of schemcrs to be moulded according
to their designs.
As far as New Orleans is concerned,
the citizensiustead ofvindicating their
manhood by going to the pI lis on cleo
ton days and attending lthe party
primaries, in order to sIlcct their
worthiest representatives. content
themselves by growing and organic
ing petty factions, whilst they aban-
don the control of the Democratic
party in the hands Of the MN of whom
they have frequent reasons to com
plain. Therefore, the people of the
country cannot look for aid from that
quarter. They must purify the party
themselves.
The principles of Democracy are
dear to our heart, and nothing that
can happen will drive usfrcm itsranks'
While adhering sieadfastly to the
regular organization sad having
sometimes to submit to imposition, we
will labor assiduonsly to elevate from
within the party those men who are
best entitled to our respect and conf
dcnCc,
Let the Democracy throughout the
State take the determination to weed
out the INSCRIPTIONS political buck
sters, who dream of self, and self alone.
1t isuot by keeping siltntovcr these
matters that the supremacy of the
Democratic party can be maintained,
but on the contrary by striking hardat
the wrong doors who aro bringing its
name into disreputc.
In Il word, we believe in fighting
the enemies of Democracy, the wolves
in Sleeps clothing within, as well as
those who are from without.
Common deccncy has been outraged
long enough, and THO Democratic
horse has been ridden 50 roughly, that
some of the ridersmust be hurled from
the saddle.
In the wiswams of the party is the
place to do the work.

Interstate Commerce.. - Defeat OF tho Rea-
gan BiM.-Tho Substitute Proposed.

The Committee on Commerce of tho
House of Representatives at Washington,
decided on February 18th, by vote of
nine to six, to report substitute for the
Reagan Bill That Objectionable measure
is practically defeated by this action. The
new bill proposes to make the same laws
which are applicable to railroads engaged
in transporting freight between different
States also apply to the operations OF
steamboats,, lake vessels and other water
crafts. 1t provides for the appointment Of
Board Of Commissioners who arc to have
supervision Of the entire subject of the
transportation of freight from one State or
Territory into or through other States and
Territories, and to examine into any COM
plants that may be made by the public of
unfair action on the part of common car
ricrs of any class that are engaged in this
important business. Unjust discrimination
is forbidden under severe penalties, and in
case any of the transportcrs or tnnsportu
tion companies fail to redress any subStan-
tial grievances brought to the attention Of
the commissioners, proceedings are author
lied Ill the United States courts. If the
proposed new law is found to be not fully
effective in furnishing remedies for any Of
tho real evils that have grown up in con-
ucCIlou WIFI lnc management Ol lranSpOr-
tation between different States it is made
the duty of the Commissioners to suggest
additional legislation, and to obtain and
furnish to Congress all information relating
TO the operations Of railroads that is likely
to prove useful and important III this con-
ncction. This bill provides much more
appropriate and just methods for accom-
plishing such reforms as may be needed
than the Reagan bill and with some amend
mcnts may be acceptable to the trans
portation interest Of the country: or at
any rate, will serve as basis for action,
should the plan suggested last winter be
adopted by Congress, and definite lcgisla.
ton be deferred until II commission of en-
perts shall be able to thoroughly investigate
this complex subject and report their ma
turc judgment upon the matters at issue.
There is no question that Il more intcl,-
gent conclusion could be reached in this
way, and one that would be more valuable
to all the interests involved. On general
principles tentative Legislation is hardly to
be recommended where it involves The
traffic of forty millions Of people and
capital aggresuiing forty hundred mil
lions Of dollars.
