Thesy Taai maay cattle, are of the same breed es those who at tbe outbreak of the rebellion, wanted to iiuk the fort unes of that city with the Confederacy, and who bad to be suppressed during the war by Federal bayonets, when engaged in the congenial oceupauon of burning orphan assylums, and murcVringunofreudiogpeople because of thcireolor. No wonder they grit their teeth at Federal military power. For the laFt few years the Dem ocracy have howled loud and unceas ingly about a ring at Harrisburg that, as they alleged.controlled tbe R epub lieaa party of this State. Put no sooner did they obtain control of the House than a "ring" more corrupt and arbitrary than any heretofore known to tbe State took charge of r. fairs, and forced, despite the pro t rt of a few decent members, sever al notorious corrupiionists into offi cial positions. How ex?e!lently well those Republicans must feel who vot ed tbe Democratic ticket for tbe sake .if'-Reb.rra." What convenient memories these Democratic orators and journalists have. Just now the entering of a tie of soldiers into a Legislative ball, in compliance with thj request of the Governor of the State, is an iiiparalclled outrage, unknown to the history cf this Republic.

On this issue we are ready to go before tbe country, and we are a-sured, the verdict will be for the Notional Administration. The whirlwind of Democratic in dignation has been wonderfully Lined bv the cool and char recital of fact-", made in General Sheridau's osfcial report.

U' dU-;op, Xi-r.-tirtj of War, WaJUnioa, I). C, 1 have tbo honor lo submit the fol lowing brief report of affairs as they occurred here on the organization of tbe State Legislature of January 4, lSTo: I was not in command cf this mil itary department until 9 o'clock at niht on tho 4th ins;., but I iully in- , dorsed, and am willing to be held re- sponsible for the acts of the iniitturv as conservators ot the public peace uwoa that day. During the few days ia which I was in tho city, prior t. the 4th of January, tbe geueral topic of conversation was the scenes of bloodshed that were liable to occur on that day, and I repeatedly heard threats of assassiaatiug the Gover nor, and regrets expressed that he wa3 not killed on the 14th of Sep tember last; also, threats of the As sassination of Republican members of the House, in order to secure the election of a Democratic Speaker. I also knex of the. kidnapping by tbe banditti of Mr. Cousiuer, one of the members elect of tbe Legisla ture. In order to preserve the peace and make tbe State House sale for the peaceful assembling of the Legis lature, General Emory, upon the re quisition of tbe Governor, s'.ationcd troops in tbe vicinity of the building. Owiug to these precautions tbe Leg islature assembled in tbo State House without any disturbance of the pub lic peace. At twelve o'clock William Vigers, the Clerk of the last House of Representatives, proceeded to call tbe roll, as according to law be was empowered to do. One hundred and two lcgaliy-re-turned members answered to their names. Of this number ' fifty -two were Republicans aud . fifty were Democrats. Before entering the House Mr. L. A. Wiltz bad been se lected in caucus as the Democratic nominee for Speaker, and Mr. Mich ael Hahn as the Republican nominee. Mr. Vigers bad not yet finished an nouncing the rc.-ult when one of the members, Mr. Billyan, of Lalourche,' nominated Mr. L. A. Wiltz for tem porary Speaker. Mr. Vigers prompt ly declared the motion out of order at that time, when some one put the question, aud, amidst the cheers of the Democratic tide of the House, Mr. Wiltz dushed on the rostrum, pushed aside Mr. Vigi rs, seized the Speaker's chair aud gavel, and de clared himself Speaker. A .protest against this arbitrary and unlawful proceeding was promptly made by members of the majority, but Wiltz paid no attention to tbo protests, and upon a motion from some one on the Democrati": side of the IloUiO, de clared one Trczevaut nominated and elected Clerk of the House. Mr. lrezevact at once sprau forward and occupied the Clerk's chair, amidst I 1 1 ' I the wildest confusion over the whole House. Wiltz then again, ou anoth er nomination from the Democratic side of the House, declared one Elood elected Sergeaut-al-Arms, and order ed that a certain number of assist ants be eppoiuttd. ..Instantly a large number of men throughout the ha.

Notwith standing tbe suddenness of this move ment, the leading Repubbcau mem bers fcttd Rut J.,..id to protest again aud again apaini this ipt'oiuiiouarv action of tbe minority, but all iu no purpose, and many if tbo Rcp.ibi;-! cans rose anu left tbo Hoii.-o m a body, together with tbe Clerk, Mr. Vigers, who carried witli him tho original roll of the lloase as reitn u- ed by the .Secretary of Siate T.ie excitement w as uov e."y-grat.

The Republicans ! id now generally withdrawn from ti.-ir seats and united in signing a p'-.ii,... a to the Governor, stating their grievances and asking his aid, which petition, signed by lifty-two legally returned members of tbe House, is iu my pos sesion. Immediately subsequent to the anion f Mr. W iltz in electing the Clei k of thy old House, Mr. Bill van moved "hat two gtmil-.-mcn from the parish of DeSota, one from Urim, one from Bi nville. and one from Ibe ria, who bad not been returned by the Ri turning Board, be sworn in j as members, and they were accora ingly s.vtrn in by Mr. Wiltz, and took seats upon the floor as members of the House. A motion was now n:.lo that the House proceed with its permanent organization, and ac cordingly the n II was called by Mr. Trczevaut. the acting Clerk, and Mr. Wiltz declared elected Speaker aud Trezevant Cleik of the House.

At last Beecher and Tilton have locked horns in tha legal arena, and tbe world is expected to look on breathless. Tilton gained the first advantage by hiving the trial of the case transferred from Judge Medic to Judge Neilson, which both sides appeared to consider very important. Beecher came into Court after the room was crowded, cad took his seat. The newspnpers speak of him as unchanged in appearance, but I know hetter. I eat within three feet of him, and where I could study his face at leisure. He has changed. He is older than be was a year ago older in appearance far beyond what a year should have made. There is a l.ok of anxiety, a sort o worn. haggard expression that to me was absolutely painful. Tilton is ten years older ior his t xnericnce, aud even jaiimy Fratik Moultoti shows the effect of the strain. By the way, as Tilton cune ii;:o e-u:-t he passed within a fool of Dv'eeher, ami the eye 'of the two iu-t squarely. It would be diili.'iilt to interpret the meaning ot thir ulJ iee-', test it did seem to me that Tilton had the besl of the encounter. He kept bis eye fixed on his autug jnist with out any thing ugly or wick d in the 1 ok, but with the expression of a man who believed hi.nself fj l e in the right. And Beeeber's bearing was equally nnib.unt d. Tho result of the trial cannot be predicted. But from the fact that s . .. . I . . C ! - ..1 I far nothing new has been introduced, it is safe to presume that nothing new will be. The public will doubt less be treated to the same old scan dals the coun.-cl will twist the evi dence each to his own side, the jury will put their beads together, and disagree, and that will be the end of We shali know just as i.iu.-b wc tmj II li'on; I fear mo ll.t great and iinnlrtant q iesliori as to wheth- er Mrs. El:z:!eih I'ilton and Rev. Hen.-y Ward Beecher ut-re very, very naiigloy, wiii he. one of the conundrums that t.cver wiii be set- it.. I. ILLNESS i,y t:i it roi:r stf.adman. I am s-rry to have to speak of the illness of the deiigh'ful poet, Ed mund Clarence Steadman, wh had been ouicred t j give up literary work for awhile, none t o siO), as : tho.-e wh' know his untiring indus try will agree To the titles of mag azine critic, editor and essayist, his friends added that of kindest, truest gentleman, -which d.-vs not lead suit with tho' oihtr as it always 1, SUOUIU, and he added that of thorough busi ness man, as if ambitious to conq .fete the terms of honor by which a pri vate citizen might be k.n iwn.

He studies with Zest, and writes with ta- vor, aud nothing the country sliows can equal the exquisite style of his Greek translations, w hich distil like honeyed wine along the palate, and show the purple and gold of tbo attic crocus among their colors. Yet this work, w hich Americaus will appre ciate a generation later, as the Eng lish no how. was done not in easy leisure but after the full lale of bank ing hours Law L;:ei told, begun iu golden sunset, with his' younger cou studying Latin declensions bv "his side, aud 'continued long after the household was wrapt in sleep.

If they can grapple with business seven hours a day. sttiay or write Ore or six more i for Cfieea or twenty years, they stand a chance of the good things which the men who own them won in tbe same way. The finest literary work the country has to be proud of, aud that w hicu does it most honor in cul tivated circles abroad, has been pro duced by such men as the twin crit ics, R. Ii. Stoddard and Steadman, 'after hours," not in the leisure of a life set apart for such pursuits. There is a class of young men who will not go iuto business because they fancy they have a vocation for art or litera ture, and make themselves a terror to editors and successful writers by hanging round, beseeching letters of iutroductiou ti this, that aud the oth er magazine or newspaper, and look ing for a position which will at onco give tbem enough to live on UNHEALTHY or cuildbex. The mild winter has proved a very sickly and dangerous one for chil dren and young people, among whom diptheria, and scarlet fever make ravages known only to tbo health oibcers and those who casual ly glance at such returns as seven hundred deaths by dipiheria in one week. St. Mary's Hall, aa Episco pal school of the best order, for girls, near Burlington, N. J., was lately broken up by typhoid fever, thirty cases of which made their appear ance among tbe scholars at one time. This case, which was caused by tbe use of rfver water held ia foul cis terns ought to lead to thorough in spection of the sanitary condition of boarding schools through the.country, few of which will be found satisfac tory iu their arrangements to a well bred physician. Principals and teach ers have too much care ou tneir bauds! to notice that the water tastes brack ish, or that there is a bad odor linger ing about parts of the house, or uuy of a dozen signs which tell the expe rienced sense that eoiucthiug is awry w ith matters on which health and lile depend, i have known fever bred iu a 'ashionable boarding school because the chambermaids had too much to do to empty the slops prop erly, and they were left to overflow carpets and vitiate the air of the dor mitories. And this leads to a theo ry 1 lately hea d about tbe unhealth iiicssof New York itself. It is lust growing the hi iu-j of intermittent fe ver, so much so that persons of ctr t:au tern pcri.meuis cannot live me;e six weeks without losing health ire forced to give up living there al together. Ihe cause has teen laid to the fault of sewers, and to tha im perfect drainage of the old marshes ab. ut 15th street, which were built over long ago. While giving this fact duo weight, those who have locked into thu suhjtct do not scruple to charge the ague and intermittent fever abounding to ventilation and ill condition inside of the bouses. They say that New York is largely made up of bjardiug-hoiiees aud ho tels, to sav uo'hiog of families in which the most glaring neglect of of every la w of health is the rule and not the exception. Houses are built on wrong principles and with their cellar, kitchen anil dining-rooms, ami bed-rooms, their closets and bath rootu3 passing the foulest air contin ually into tbe body of the house are as fruitful of malaria as if the occu pants lived on the edge of a swamp Comparatively few even of the first rate hotels and boarding-houses have anything like proper ventilation. The passages smell musty, the air from a hundred close bed-rooms pour ing into them, while not a window is opened ia the balls from October till May. Not a pleasant bubject to peak of, but one of vital importance. not only to residents, but to property holders in New York, for it is a seri ous question where to find a healthy place to live within a dozen miles of this citv, and the most rigid sanitary conditions must be learned and en forced where so many thousand d wcl- ers are crowded together, or living in the city is not to be thought of. I will say that families who keep well- ordr red, well ventilated houses hud nothing to complain. of in New York more than in other cities. DEFECTIVE FLUES. The recent Cre on Fifth avenue, iu which a fine family house caught from an overheated flue, has led to strict scai-cbings into cause and effect, which show the facilities modern bouses ad'ord for getting us burned in our b ds. The joists and floors of the lint si houses arc can les!y laid, so that tho ends come in contact with fire Ibics, when the heat chars them and prepares the material for a con flagration at a moment's notice. Tbe Siiencr mansion, owned by a rich Jewish merchant, took fire last year from this cause, and the mother and daughter of a wealthy a.id hap py family lost their lives. The mag nificent synagogue on Fifth avenue took fire from a red hot nail heated by the Cue, into which il was driven. As one cannot with any assurance of success inspect every nail'liead about the house every night be-h-re going to bed the feelings with which tim id people lay their beads up n their pillows may be described as the re verse of soothing. SEW VEAlt's CALLS. The voung swells of New York made their calls New Year's Day in the regulation stilT shirt fronts, while neck-ties, with w.ixH m-.tu' nch-.-s. It was as cjld as Greenland's icy mountains, and the young gentlemen had a hard time of it. Despite the appeal of tbe Temperance Union to the bditJ" ROt Vi st t'netr (,-iiie.ri w ine, it strikes mo a great dal of ar dent liquors must have been fori- ' sumed. i'or toward night ibfl.ytung gentlemen wobbled in a terrific man ner, and as they went from the doors io their carriages they complained of Biippery side-walks, where there was no ice, and they showed an inclina tion to sleep that betokened exhaus tion. And their tonsjues were thick i 'arid their breathing heavy in bhort. had they been anywhere else.
