" Indiana Legislature
Met aud was properly organized by
the election of the usual officers on
Thursday last. The Senate organized
by electing offices of Republican faith
the two independents elect, voting
with them, and the Democrats, ignor
ing the independents in the Hou.'-e,
put no one on guard but an "unterri
fied" Ieinocrat. Got. Hendricks,
like "Rise-Up Wn. Allen," made an
asi of himself, in trying to "maintain
amicable relations" between the Uni
ted States and the State of Louisiana,
by false statements, and Gen. Sheri
dan's report in another column, clear
ly proves both propositions. The
message, in other respect9, is a toler
able fair business paper confined to
tho State of Indiana and her interests.
He don't make any recommendation,
in regard to the education of the col

"We will take no backward step in

this may either mean an adherence
tn the decision of the State's Supreme
Judges, or the guarantee the school
law gives to keep tho tchools "open to
all." He wants a high license, drinker.-
and sellers alike punished, minors
to be held amenable for buying liquor,
aud requiring saloons to be closed at
a reasonable hour.

Ou New Year's eve as two colored
men were walking along a principal
street in New Orleans, they were fired
on from a cover. Roth were hit and
one of them instantly killed. The
murdered man was t abius Dunn, an
Assistant II. S. Assessor, one ot the
most prominent colored men in the
State, generally respected, and, so far
a kuown, without an enemy. It was
the work of White League assassins.
The editor of the Christian Union
declare that the notion ot eternal
damnation has about died out of tbe
Churches. His editorial to that ef
fect has kindled quite a blaze. It
heats things up extensively to try to
put hell out! luite a large number
are interested in that institution yet.
What troubles us is, that we can t
keep more of it out of this world New
Orleans, for instance.
A resume of the testimony taken by
the Vieksburg investigation shows
that the killing of the nesrrocs was ac
unprovoked massacre. When met by
the whites they retreated before a shot
was fired. Not half of them were
armed, and they were accompanied by
women and children. Some were
killed while lying on tbe ground.
From sixty to seventy-five were killed.
Altogether the Vieksburg massacre
seems to have been the most cowardly
and the most brutal of the long cata
logue of wholesale assassinations
which have made of the South a
bloody grou.ud It is time for the
President to declare with emphasis
that a single repetition of this class of
outrages will bring down Um fcud of
the Federal power heavily upon the
offenders, be they who they may.
The Pitteburjr Commercial very
sensibly regards the Democratic oppo
sition to the pending finance bill as a
high tribute to its merit. Democrats
can always be depended on to oppose
anything which they believe will inure
to the credit or honor of the Republic
can party. The Commercial says:
"They oppose the bill because it
rob them ot party capital. They
want to speculate on and profit by the
sutterings of, the people, and benc
their anxiety to keep things as thev
are. unchanged. The bill, as framed",
may not work financial miracles; but
it will tend to restore confidence and
reawaken enterprise; and as ita-pas-agi
is manifestly prompted by a ile
isir to give effectual relief, the public
will tke the will for the deed, even if
the deed eyentualsJU short of what
,t expected from it.

1 have tho honor to submit the fol
lowing brief report of affairs as they
occurred here in the organization of
the State Legislature of Jan. 4. 1875.
I was not in command of this military
department until 9 o'clock at night on
the 4th instant last, but I fully indorse
and am willing to be held responsible
for the acts of the military as conserv
ators of the public on thai day and
unnng toe tew days which 1 was in
the city prior to the 4th of Jaauarv
The general tonic of conversation was
the scenes of bloodshed that were lia
ble to occur on that day, and I repeat
edly heard threats of assassinating the
Governor, and regrets expressed that
ne was not killed on tbe 14th ot fcep
tember last; alro. threats of assassin
ation of Republican members of the
House, in order to secure the clc-ctiog
of a Democratic Speaker. I also
knew of the kidnapping, by banditti,
ot i'lr. loubiu, one ot tbe memlers
elect of the Legislature.
In order to preserve peace and make
the State House safe for the peaceable
assembling ot the Legislature, General
Emory, upon the requisition of the
Uovernor stationed troops in tbe vi
cinity of t'u? building. Owing to
these precaution, the Legislature as
sembled in the istate House without
any disturbance t f tfie tieace. At 10
o'clock William Vigars, the Clerk of
tbe lat House ot ICepresentatives,
proceeded to call tbe roll, as accord
me to law he was empowered to do
One hundred and two legally returned
members answered to their names.
Of this number fifty-two were Repub-

announcing the result, when one of
tbe members (liellen, ot Lafourche.)
nominated 1. A. Wiltz for temporary
."-peaker. v igars promptly declared
the motion out of order at that time,
when some one put the question and,
amid the cheers tin the Democratic
side of the House. Wiltz dashed on to
the rostrum, pushing aside Vigars,
seized the Seaker's chair and gavel,
and declared himself Speaker. A
protest agaim-t these arbitrary and
unlawful proceedings was promptly
made by members of the majority, but
Wiltz paid no attention to the pro
tects, and on a motion from some one
on the Democratic side ot the House
it was declared that one Trezevant
was nominated and elected Clerk of
the House. Trezevant at once sprang
forward and occupied the Clerk's
chair amWhe wildest confusion over
the wholeHfouse. Mayor Wiltz then
again, on another nomination from
the Democratic side of the House, de
clared one Flood elected Sergent at
Arms, and ordered a certain' number
of assis'tants to be appointed. In
stantly a large number of men through
out the hall, who had been admitted
on various pretests, such as reporters,
aud member's friends, and spectators,
turned down the lapels of" their coats,
upon which were pinned blue ribbon
badges, on which were tainted in gold
letters the words "Assistant Sergent-!
ai-Arms, and tne Assembly was in
the possession of the minority. The
A lute League of Louisiana has made
(IihmI its th real of u-ixing th ilouw,
many of the Sergent-at-A mis being
well known as Captains ot the hite
League companies in the city.
Notwithstanding the suddenness of
this movement, leading Republican
members had not failed to protest
against this revolutionary action of
the minority, but all to no purpose,
and many of the Republicans rose and
left the House in a body, together
with Clerk Vigars, who carried with
him the original roll of the House, as
returned by the Secretary of fetate.
The excitement was now verv great.
and the acting Speaker directed the
tt-rgent-at-Arms to prevent tbe egress
or ingress of members or others, and
several exciting scuffles, in which
kniyes and pistols were drawn, took
place, and for a few moments it seemed
as if bloodshed would ensue. At this
juncture. Dupre, a Jitenionratie mem
ber, from New Orleans Parish, moved
that the military of the general gov
ernment be invoked to preserve peace.
and that a committee be appointed to
. : . i 1 i 1 1 - T- T 2 . i
n i'u ut ucrai ivvi runnuou, me
commanding officer of the I'nited
States troops stationed at .the tate
House, and request Ins assistance in
clearing the lobby. The motioa was
adopted.
A committee of five, of which Dupre
was made chairman, was sent to wait
upon General DeTrobriand, and soon
returned with that omeer. who was
accompanied by two of his staff offi
cers. As General DeTrobriand walk
ed down to the Speaker's desk, loud
applause burst from the Democratic
fide of the House. General DeTro
briand asked the acting Speaker if it
was not possible for him to preserve
order without appealing to him to
preserve order as a L'nited States
armv officer. Wiltz said it was not:
whereupon the General f rocetxled to
the lobby, and, addressing a few words
to the excited crowd, peace was at
onee restored. On motion of Dupre.
Wilts, in the name of the General
Assembly of the State of Louisiana,
thanked General DeTrobriand for his
interference in behalf of law and or
der, and the General withdrew.
The Republicans had now ce ne rally
withdrawn from the hall, ana united
in signing a petition to the Governor,
stating their grievances aud asking
his aid. Two petitious, signed by
fifty-two legally returned members of
the House, is in my posession.
Immediately subsequent to the
action of Wiltz in ejecting the Clerk
of the old House, Billien moved that
two gentlemen from the parish of De
soto, one from Winn, one from Uien
yilLe, and one from Iberia, who had
not been returned by the Returning
Hoard.be sworn in as members, and
ther were accordingly sworn in by
Wiltz, and took their scats on the j
floor as members of the House. j
A motion was now made that tbe
louse proceed with its permaneui
organization, and accordingly th roll
was called by Trezevant, tho ailing
Clerk, and Wiltz was declared Sr-eak-er.
and Trezevant Clerk ol the House.
Acting ou the protest made by the
majority of the House; the Governor
now requested the commanding Gen
eral oi the department to aid him in
restoring order, an J enable the legally
returned members ot the House to
proceed with its organization accord
ing to law. This request was reason
able and in accordance with law. Re
membering vividly the terrible massa
cres that took place in this city on the
assembling of the Constitutional Con
tention in lNHj, at Mechanic's Insti
tute, and believing that the lives of
the memLers ot the Legislature were
r would be endangered in case an or
ganization under the law was attempt
ed, the posse was furnished with a re
juest that rare should be taken that
no member of the Legislature returned
by the Returning Board should be.
ejected from the floor. Thia military
po?se informed its duty under di
rection from the Governor of the
State, and removed from the floor of
the House tho.-c persons who had
been illegally seated, and who had no
legal right to be there; whereupon the j
Democrats rose and left the House, I
and the remaining members proceeded j
to eflect an organization under the .
State laws. :
In all this turmoil, in which blood- :
,hcd was imminent, the military jKx-e f
behaved with great discretion When
Wiltz, the usurping" Speaker of the!
House, called for triors to prevent ?
bl-odshed, they were liven him.
When the Governor of the State
called for a posse for the same pur
pose, and to enforce the law, it was
furnished also. Had this not been
done, it is my firm belief that stents,
of bloodshed would have ensued.

The liquor traffic, which occasion i
nine-tenths of our criminal exienses, j
and are enormous in every State, im- i
poses heavier burdens iu the way of j
taxes than any other one thing, and j
therefore being a question which J
touches every man's pocket, it is one j
that should command the earnest ef- j
forts of all to suppress. j
We are met with the contemptible i
. i . . i . i- i i
sneer, mat notwunsianamg tne laws
to regulate and (suppress the liquor
traffic, liquor is sold just tho same
anyhow, and therefore there is no use
of these laws. Is not murder com
mitted, too, and apparently on the in-
crease? And on that account shall
we abolish the laws against that crime?
Are not horses stolen? And shall we
on that account abolish the law against
theft? Rather would not these crime-!
increase, were we to abolish criminal
law? So it is thown by the statistics
that where the laws against the liquor
traffic are abolished, that crime, and
the crime it occasions increases.
No man who understands his duty
to his family and to his State will hes
itate to hedge this most infamous
traffic with all the law possible. It
would be an insult to the intelligence
of the jieople to take from them the
right in every township and county to
determine for themselves whether
they need licensed crime in the shane
of liquor saloons, where their sons
m.-iy be prostituted and ruin?d. This
right tho present law gives them, and
with all the earner tuess they poeset-s
they should demand a reteutiou of it.
The right to determine this question

rests. It any one county or township
wants this infamous crime fastened
on it. su :h ought not to have the new

We fully ageee with our Democratic
contemporaries that the course pur
sued toward the Southern States by
the government, has had a great deal
to do w ith the trouble in the South,
though we will not admit that the
government is at fault or in any way
responsible for the lawlessness and
bloodshed in those States. The gov
ernment should have pursued an en
tirely different policy toward rebels at
the close of the war. The leaders
should have been hung and all others
who were in any way connected with
the rebellion and iu the employ of the
so-called Confederate States, should
have been disfranchised for life.
Treason should be made odious, and
the failure of the government to meet
oat prcper punishment to rebels at
the eloe of the war is what has
caused all the trouble since and now.
Those rebellious scoundrels down
there should have the heel of the gov
ernment firmly set on their necks and
held there until they know how to
behave themsellves, aud until life and
liberty to the humblest citizen is as
safe in those States as in Indiana."

One swift-winged month has fied

use to its readers. What I have I

movement. Sometimes they are in j
tbe ascendeucr. and at o titer times 'a
calm seems to oouie over the spirit of j
tne neople. xut this it ceuerally re- i
garded as "a lull before the tempest." j
Nothing of a very serious nature has !
yet occurred in this immediate vicini-

called a meeting ofits members which, j
after convenintr. ref'ened their con- i
diiioa to the President, requesting
protection. He readily responded to
their reqnest, and ordered the insur- '
rectionists to disperse in five days, J
which. I presume lor policy, they did. :
I do not know what the result may be, ;
but there is a prospect of the Sou;hern

than for defenseless eitiiens to be

Tc w Trk Indignation Meetinif.
It is hard to epeak with, patience
of the New York call for an indig
nation meeting over affairs in
Louisiana. The persons who sign
this call are prominent; some of
them are men of pronounced ability,
and at least of traditional patriot
ism. But their course now can
only be characterized as unpro
voked and wicked. If, by their
sympathy, they induce the blind
and reckless murderers of Louisi
ana to rise once more against law,
and perpetrate anew the crimes
which have deluged the streets of
New Orleans vvilh blood, they will
be righteously chargeable before

Orleans. The prompt and ener
getic action of General Sheridan,
supported by the President, bad
the effect which the Inter-Ocean
has pi ophesied, and the leaders of
the White League came forward
with offers to disband their forces
and submit to the law. It is not
probable that their course will be
materially changed by any empty
resolutions which Copperheads ol
the North may pas?, for they know
pretty well their value; but if they
should be induced to rise, the
blood which will flow in conse
qaeQre must rest on the heads of
those who encourage them.
It is perhaps a significant fact
that among the names which we
find appended to this call not one,
though all are so prominent, lifted
a finger toward putting down the
late rebellion, The war cost them
nothing. On the contrary, though
claiming to be friendly to the Union,
fhey coined money oat of our
troubles, and came forth rich from

able records. Let the humble
soldiers, who had no thought save
the salvation of 'the Union, and
who gained nothing from their
arduous service save patriotic
scars, mark this well. It is not
they who speak in condemnation of
an act too long delayed It is not
they who grow indignant at the
efforts of their old commanders to
rebuke the fiendish spirit which
they too well remember. It is the
sleek gentlemen, the comfortable
men, who slept on beds of down
while Union soldiers rested upon
their knapsacks; who fared sumpt
uously while Union soldiers ate the
hard bread cf a military fare; who
grew rich, while LTnion soldiers
poured out their blood a free will
offering to the country they love
and the government they cherlihed
w ho are venting their indignation
so freely. Proud as these New
York gentlemen are; grand and
lofty as are their denunciations of
the men of Donelson and Winches
ter, we would prefer hearing from
the rauk and file upon ihis business
before rendering a verdict. And
we tell the "White Leaguers of the
South that tho men who talk so
grandly in their favor, who pass
such heroie resolutions of aid and
comfort, cannot be relied on. They
aro of those same choice spirits
who made sweet promises to
Southern ears in 1861 -'2, and
broke them to the hope. Their
words are worth no more now than
they were then, and when the
Southern whites conclude onee
more to defy the government, they
may rest assured they will again
have to deal with those who speak
only through the messengers whieh
they hvard too often on the battle
fields of the South.
This call might have been couch
ed in language that would only
have aroused the anger and not
excited the contempt of the people;
but it has not been done. It con
tains a falsehood so glarirg, so
despicable, as lo create more scorn
than indignation. It says:
"A legislative body of a sister
Stole, peaceably assembled, has
been broken into and dispersed by
Federal troops, acting under the
orders of the President of the
Uniied States." ; !
And thia plain, notorious, delib
erate he is Bigned by men who have

The falsehood is too palpable, too
well known, to need refutation.
'A legislative body peaceably as

form and rule -were discarded, and
where pistols were nourished at
the heads of protesting members,

emembc-red that these men, whom
.he New York gentlemen are going

ppearanee in the hall!

And now comes HeuJrkks, of;
Indiana, like a reverent pupil, mark-
ing time close in the rear of ancient j

says, was hastily r re pared, after the !
completion ol his message, to which it I
was appended; aud realiy, the misrep j

" It is a funduuii-utal right, and nec

legislative body shall be the judge of
the qualifications, election, and return

Without any pietext of domestic vio

CINCISXATIWMMERCIAL.
Prooptrtnt for IHT3.
In additiou to the uuiversal t ireula
tion of the Commkroial in Cincinnati
ami vicinity, it is sold through over
three hundred acencies iu Ohio, Iudi-;
ana, Kentucky, Tennessee, West " ir-',
ginia, and Southern Illinois, and on j
all the railroads in those States, and '
tliere is a special eall for it along the ,
great rivers Irom Pittsburg to New
rleaus-
'1'he territory oec-upied by the con-
stituency of the Commercial is that!
within one day's railroad travel off
Cincinnati, and there are regular car
riers' routee for the Commercial iu
Columbus, Ohio; India:ipolis, Indi
ana; Fraukfort, Kentucky; Nashville,
Tennessee; Churlestown, West Vir
ginia; Louisville, Kentucky; Farkers
btiip. West Virginia; Chattanooga,
Tennessee; Vincennes, Lafayette,
Evansville, and Richmond, Indiana;
Dayton, Xcnia, Springfield, Newark,
Delaware, and Zanesville, Ohio; Lex
iugton, Maysville, Paris, and Cynthi
ana, Kentucky, and in scores of other
superb and flourishing cities.
Cincinnati is the most central of the
large cities of the Nation, and on all
sides is supported by thrifty and pros
lcrous communities iu which for hun
dreds of miles in every direction, the
Commercial is the favorite newspa
per. cial is thoroughly independent. It
recognizes no obligations to party or
ganizations. Its sincerity in this po
sition is popularly understood, and so
largely appreciated that its subscribers'.
and habitual purchasers in either po
litical party outnumber those of the
pnrty organs, aud its aggregate circu
lation is greater than that of its com
petitors combined.
It takes a hearty interest iu the
polities of Europe, which telegraphic
communication has brought into very
intimate relations with us, and, earn
estly vindicating and sustaining the
development of nationality in Ger
many and Italy, it cordially sympa
thizes with the Iterublican cause in
France and Spain.
The specialty of the Commercial is
the uews of tho day. We spare no
effort and no expense, at home or
abroad, to obtain by telegraph, by
mail and by express the latest intelli
gence, and to present it in the most
attractive and authentic form. Our
Editorial remarks upou events, and
discussions of the questions of the
day, are according to our independent
judgment, having always in view the
efficacy of the truth in the interests of
the ieuple. We do not seek official
favors or pirtisan patronage, but rely
wholly upon the business that grows
out ol the rcsvect and good will of the
public ,at large.
The daily newspaper at this time
becomes almost a necessity of life, and
it is not hazardous to claim tor the
Cincinnati Commercial that it is at
once the most complete and trust
worthy journal issued in the Ohio
Valley the center of the population
and the seat of the political power of
the Nation.
. Our relations w ith political parties
are such thai ie will not besuspecteJ ,
of tampering with the news in the in-1
terest of cither, n e mean to tell the
plain truth, axd publish all the
news, do matter whom it hits or
whom it helps or hurts. We expect
to be as thorough and impartial in
presenting financial intelligence
as in dealing with political informa
tion. Our agents are reminded that this
is a promising time to canvass for new
subscribers, and it is our impression
that if a careful and energetic effort
were made, there would be occasion
to increase orders largely.
We offer no other inducements to
subscribers than thn the reputatica
ol the Commercial for enterprise in
collecting the Dews, and honorable
dealing with the people in publishing
it fairly.
All epplieants furnished with Spe
cimen Copies and Circulars giving
exact and full details of business in
formation. Advertising rates from 10 to 40

p!ay and position the best terms of

. THREE KDITIOXSl
Weskly, Semi-Weekly Si My.
Established less than- three years
ago as a Representative Kepublicau
paper, pledged to maintain and defend
the principles and organization of tho
National Republican Party, the INTER-OCEAN
was early pushed to
the forefront of journalism and
achieved a success unprecedented in
the history of such enterprise. By
universal assent it has been assigned
Tae Leading Rrpnkllna Paper In
the Morthweat.
Not aloue on its political character
does the INTER-OCEAN rest its
claims to popular favor. It aims at
the highest excellence in all depart
ments, aud in thia era of progressive
journalism aspires to position among
TIiVYn'TER OCEAN makes espe
cial claim as
A FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
Its columns are carefully guarded
agaiust objectionable matter, and ev
ery effort is made to render it a pleas
ant and profitable comanion to the
home fireside.
T1IK rOHHCBflAL DEPABTMEST
Is conducted with great care, and ev
erything possible is done to make the
Market Reports such as the Farmers
and Business Men of the Northwest
can RELY UPON'.

It is not excelled by any publication
in the country. The Inter-Oeeau is a
NATIONAL 5EWSMPEH,
One that will be found useful and in
teresting to Americans in every part
of the globe. While it especially rep
resents the Great Interest of the
Northwest, it is National in its views
and comprehensive in its news-gatherings.
Firm in its political faith, it
is not bieoted, and in all discussions
aims to be candid, dignified, aud above
personal abuse.
The Intkr-OceaN has the largest
aggregate circulation of any newpa
ler published in the Northwest. It is
sent to more than 6.000 Postofhces,
distributed in every State and Terri
tory in tho United States, in all the
