WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections held q meeting
to-day to consider the Turpie case. After an
hours consideration. the committee came to the
unanimous conclusion that the determination of
the Indiana House of Reprsse natives, under the
particular circumstances of this case, Of the
title Of its members to their seats is conclusive
upon the Senate; and, therefore. that fhe per-
sons who voted in the election of Senator must
be conclusively presumed to have been entitled

Here in the Third District, Mr.. Gay
will be reelected. He has been twice
elected over prominent Republicans,
when the odds against him were much
greater chan in the present contest,
and we can see no valid reason why
he should not now snow under Mr..
Jolly, an obscure Republican, by such
a crushing majority as to deter the
enemy from ever putting up a candi-
date in the future. This feat can be
accomplished if our people will do
their full duty by turning out on cleo
ton day. There is no danger what
ever, except in a n of security re-
sulting from over-confdence in the

It was noticed that the decoration of

shows IN awakening devotion of the
living for the dead. There is no more
beautiful custom than this, one which
bears stronger testimony Of the ten

White Supremacy in Louisiana.

The Republican party of Louisiana
is many times blacker to-day than it
was in the days Of Kellogg and War
moth ; is, indeed, almost unanimously
black. We have Republicans in our
Legislature-but they are negroes; we
have Republican officials in some of
the parishes-but with two or. three
exceptions, they are black. The car
net baggers. when they found that
they'could no longer plumber the State,
fled elsewhere and left Ouly the ne
groes behind.
In former days, when a Republican
convention met, there was a fair
sprinkling of whites, a pepper-and-
salt appearance about it to-day, a
white face is seldom cen, and in the
three conventions that. were held in
this city this year, II did not have Il
| single white man in 1t, and the other
| two less than Il dozen.
If we overwhelmed the Republican
| party twelve years ago because we
feared that it meant the Authorization
of the State. how much more must We
| fear it to-day, now that the party is So
much blacker than OF old.
The whole people of the Second Dis
