Tho Republican paity is dead.
Surely its friends ought to make Grant
and Sheridan behave themselves at
the funeral f
THE TRUTH UNPLEASANT.
The iaiest dispatches from Washing
ton state that the Congressional sub
committee* sent to New Orleans to in
vestigate Louisiana affairs have re
turned, and it is said* that tho testi
mony taken before them does not
sustain the charges of violence'or in
timidation of negro voters by the
Democrats, and that they will con
demn the action of the recent return
ing board as illegal.
These truths, however, being rather
unpleasant, it is now thought that the
whole committee will ignore the work
of the sub-committee, and go and in
vestigate for themselves.
This is what we want?the whole
truth and nothing bat the truth, and
we are not afraid of it.
THE LQVlStANA OUTRAGE.
We publish to-day a few comment*
of the Northern press on the Louis
iana outrage, showing that public sen
timent is entirety iu opposition to the
obstinate stupidity of President Grant.
As for Sheridan, his actions and his
dispatches exhibit about as much
sense as a ten year old school boy of
ordinary ability and boastful procliv
ities. ?
Doubtless it is a source of deep re
gret and mortification to General
Grant and the rest of his crew?like
himself, of questionable military rep
utation?that they have not goaded
the people of Louisiana to violence
and revolution as they hoped; but
that they have actually shown more
wisdom and common sense than their
masters, and studiously avoided the
trap set tor them. ^
We regret of course, the shame and
disgrace which this combined dullness
and hatred of a few (would-be) heroes
has brought upon American civiliza
tion; but we rejoice that it will prove
a blessing to Louisiana and the whole
country, by opening the eyes of the
masses to the utter incapacity of the
men they heve elected to office.
THE POPULAR VERDICT.
Speech in Congress by General Gordon,
of Georgia.
He stood aghast at .the spectacle
presented in this Senate yesterday.
A spectacle of one portion of the
members seeking to ruin the fair
name and honor of the people of one
section of this country before the civ
ilized world. He was amazed, utterly
amazed, that there should be found
in the hearts of men with whom he
daily associated upon this floor so
much hate. Ho was totally unpre
pared for it, and if ho believed to-day
that the expressions which ha heard
from Senators' lips yesterday"reflected
the sentiments of the Northern people,
he would feel that it was time for
the Southern people to die. If he bo
lieved that those expressions fore
shadowed the policy of this govern
ment toward the South, then ho wouid
say let us have dono with this farce
cf local self-government. He did not
beiievo that such sentiments were en
tertained by the northern pcoplo.
Ho did not believe that brave men,
against whom the people of the South
had lately contended, entertained any
such sentiments. He belifvcd the
great majority of the American peoplo
of* both North and South, white and
black, abhorred any such spirit of an
imosity He believed the movement
inaugurated in 3862 by the. large
headed and large-hearted men of the
United States to bring about good
feeling and harmony would be suc
cess fuT.
? * * * *
He did not propose to discuss the
resolution, but to reply to what he
was forced to conclude were gratuit
ous insult* offered to his people by
some of the senators on the other side
of the chamber. It was charged that
murders prevailed throughout tho
South, and that these murders were
by the hands of tho Democratic white
man's party. His reply to that was
brief. Tito charge was false. It was
true that murders hnd occurred, but
no one deplored that more than him
self, nor more than tho people he rep- j
resented. His peoplo hnd always said
that the class of peoplo committing
these murders were the worst enemies
of tho South. If murders were com
mitted, was that any reason for brand
ing*'the whole Southern peoplo ns a
set of ns'snpfins and barbarians ?
Wherever in tha Southern States peo
pie of honesty and integrity have
control of public affairs, property,
lifo and liberOy are as safe as they are
in any NeftJkem Siatc [Applause

* <*" <i' * '
A band of misguided negroes who
_.1_1 _x ..!.!? -JO.- - a_
luaxvnxru av uigiiv ttivu nims vv mur
der and hands to plunder could not
be attacked by whites in self-defence.
If they were attacked and a conflict
ensued in which a few were killed,
the South was then charged with dis
loyalty and antagonism to the Fede
ral government. The colored militia
men might insult women, rob. pillage
and drag innocent men from their
beds, and when the white men resist
ed " them I the Southern people were
held up as murderers and assassins.
* * * * *
Before the men who had no interest
in common with the Southern people,
except to array the blacks against
them, came there, good feeling existed {
between the blacks aud whites. There
were churches and school houses in
the South for the blacks, and in every
Southern State money had been con-1
tril.uted by the whites for school
houses and churches for the blacks.
The Southern white people had con
tributed more than any one else.
Only the other day a resident of j
Georgia,.!? bis? last will and testa
ment, bequeathed a hundred thousand
dollars to educate colored people.
Speech in Congress by Bayard of Dela
ware.
If there was now the tone in the
executive department of this coanftry
that there onco was, that officer (Sher
idan) would never sign his name
again as lieutenant-general of the
United States army., If that officer
had been in a hostile country he
could not have made a more brutal
or bloody threat. Such language as
that used in a dispatch was like that
used by the captain of a band of Jan
issaries.asking for instructions from
some Oriental despot. General Sher
idan had no one quality to fit him for
the duties to command in Louisiana.
His first quality should be good will
towards the* people of the State.
* * * if congress permitted
fBuch power as this to be exercised by
the President in Louisiana* to-day,, it
might be exercised ia> New York to
morrow,- to Massachusetts- the next
day, and in tho Congress of the United
States on the -iAh of March nexfc- A>
single brigade could take charge of
the capitol on the 4th of March next,
shut out the people and give the- seats
to the friends of the dominant party
only. To-day was the anniversary of |
tho battle of New Orleans, a battle
which covered the American armies
with glory. Should the glory of 1815
be dimmed or clouded by the shame
of 1875? Was it to be that those who
fought against such fearful odds to
defend that city in 1815 fought lor
nothing? It may have been tnat mis
takes were mads, that misjudgraent
aud partisan feeling, all combined,
led the President to take the action
he did, but he (Bayard) hoped that
the Ameic?? people would give him
a command by which he would oe
forced to obey the laws and take his
armed hand from the throat of Lou
isiana,
In the whole record or political
crimes and political blunders com
mitted by the Republican party there
is nothing which surpasses in blunder
ing criminality yesterday's proceed
ings of tho Senate and House of Rep
rentatives. * * * It is hardly
too much to say that the Republican
party will find it impossible to rally
from the effects of this staggering
blow received in the house of its
friends.?New York Evening Post.
"Such a dispatch as that which
Gen. Sheridan sent to the sec rotary
of war on Tuesday, is not warranted
by any facts known to the public,
and could scarcely be warranted
under any conceivable citcumstances.
We have never published such a doc
ument before, and we must say that
nothing like it has ever been seen in
any country under constitutional gov
ernment. It almost induces one to
believe that the world has. gone back
two or three hundred years in the
theory and practice of government."
* * * *
There is a shorter cut still which Gen.
Sheridan might have recommended.
It is for tho President to declare the
constitution and all its amendments
annulled, shut up Congress, put down
nil newspapers, and then declare him
self dictator, with Gen. Sheridan as
his sole minister and chief execution
er.''?New York Times.
Tho President will soon see that he
is not supported by the sentiment of
tho couutry, and that Iii? unparalleled
course nrrouses the apreheusions of
the people n? no other public event
has done since tho firing on Fori
Sumtcr?New York Herald.
If the cabinet had been prudeut it
would have put General Sheridan'?
ferocious message on or under the
table or into the lire and said nothing
nbout it. Instead of that General
Bel knap telegraphed buck to Sheri
dan and said. "The President and
all of us thoroughly approve your
courso," which wus one of the most
unnecessary and foolish blunders ever
committed by the present govern men t.
Wc hopo that tho President's forth
coming message will bo a little more
rreditu!>le to liiniself, his cabinet, his
party, and to the people of tho United
States, who, if they also thoroughly
approved of Sheridan's course, would
stand disgraced before tho civilized
world."?New York Tribune,
