There was a regular Democratic
row in tbe House at Washington on
Wednesday last Hewitt criticised
Aiken and Southern member gener
ally for their hostility to West Point
and it was retorted that be (Hewitt)
bad sold out tbe Presidency. Black
guardism was rampant, tbe old bully
ing plantation manners again came
to the front, and tb harmonious
Democracy bad a public wasLJoy of
its dirty linen.
The Democrats were Crst against
greenbacks, then tbey insisted the
bands were payable in greenbacks,
then they wanted an unlimited issue
of greenbacks, then they were far
silver, then they clamored for the pay
ment of tbe bonds in silver, and thca
for an unlimited issue of silver. But
during all these performances of
double Sip-Saps and back suramef
saults, they are steadily keeping their
eyes on the one main chance of, re
pudiating the national debt.

Kentucky appear to Lave gone stark

After three weeks of incubation, tbe
Senate last week passed resolutions
calling for the reraonetizatioa of sil
ver, by separate State action, for
the equalization of silver with gold,
and the payment of bonds in green
backs, of which increased issue is de
manded. There is but one Republi
can in that body,' a.nd he, of course,
voted nay.
The Silver Bill passed tbe Senate,
after nearly an all night session, on
Saturday Morning, by a vote of 43
yeas to 21 nays. Having previous
ly passed tbe House in a slightly
different shape, tbe difference will
probably be reconciled by a commit-
te of conference, when the bill will
become a law, unless vetoed by the
President. As to the probability of
a veto, tbe friends and enemies of
tbe measure still differ widely, and
as the President bas beau very re
ticent oa the subject, nothing but bis
action will determinedly seme to

Secretary Sherman is mad. He
gays "that if he ever had any doubts
heretofore about the Presidential re
sult in 1SS0, the outrageous violation
of pledges by Louisiana Democrats
had removed those doubts. He
thought the country would see that
the Pemocracy could not keep a
promise, and that tbe North would
realize that it would not do to trust
the South with the control of the
Government."
We trust that he may prove a true
prophet, but if the discovery had been
made before the surrender to the
Southern Democracy, there would
have been no present occasion far

The conflrmatioa of Hilliard is tbe
dilibcrate reinstating of tbe eld se
cessionists in power by a Republican
Administration. From the Demo
cratic standpoint it is all right. From
the s ecsible.tUtcsmaniike standpoiut,
which attaches neither moral quality
nor disability to opinions, nor admits
that for-e decides questions morally
or in any way except practically, it
is all right. It must be a bitter pill
to iLe fellows wbo boned to make
treason "oJioua," to see an original j
secessionist and one proiiiiiwct in ;
helping States out of the Union, con
firmed in office by the United States

claim, "There's no difference 'twixt
treason and loyalty." Truly there
ought to be none 'twixt those who
differed in tbe past. Tbe one opinion

who engaged on ono or th other

dispatch bad been sent to General
Anderson by himself and Messrs.
Matthews, Garfield, Hale and While,
replied that such is the case, and, as
tho fact bas been -oado public, be
would furnish a copy of tbe dispatch.
Tbe following is tbe dispatch referred
to:
Washington, D. C, Feb. i, I3TS.
To Ueneral Thoma C Anderson
yeuj-Orlcan.i, La.
Tbe undersigned feel it due to you,
under present circumstances, to as
sure you of our unhesitating belief
that, in the matter wherein you stand
charged, you are altogether guiltless
of any offence against law ; that yon
are falsely accused and maliciously
persecuted ; that the proceeding
against you, though in the form of
law, is without tbe substance of jus
tice ; that we boreby tender onr ear
nest sympathies, and express our
hope that tbe sense of justice and
love of peace of the people of Louisi
ana will protect you, and not permit
the best interests oa the whole coun
try to be disturbed by a revival of
sectional aoimosities. In any event,
we are confident that tbe American
people will redress any injustice of
which you may be made tbe victim.
John Suehmas, Eugene Hale,
Stanley Matthews, Harry White,
J. A. Garfield.
Secretary Sherman then stated that
he regarded the trial and conviction
of General Anderson as a great out
rage, under the cover of forms of law.
He was unsparing in his comment
upon the whole affair. He said:
Anderson was not indicted. The
rand jury has refused to indict bim.
Tbe proceedings against bim took
place on "information," and were of
a character expressly prohibited ia
cases cf felony by tbe Constitution of
the United States, and of most of the
States, but provided for by the law
of Louisiana. The information was
signed and filed by a man who was
an officer of the "White League,"
identified with, al he numerous
crimes of that organisation. Tbe
judge, wbo tried the case, is a public
defauliur for over $GG0,0u0. When
Anderson wa3 arretted to was tbe
acting collector of the port of New
Orlcam and tbo arrest was made
while he was in tbe discharge of bis
duty at tbe Custom House, which
stands, as Mr. Sherman thinks, oa
ground under the sole jurisdiction of
the United States by cession frora
Louisiana. le was harried tu pris
on, required, to give excessive bail
and, failing to do so, was kept in cus
tody, denied all postponement, forced
to triil, convicted and held for son
teuce without the benefit of bail. The
Jury was packed to convict; the
panel bad been carefully selected
almostexclusively from one political
party and one race ; toeir examina
tion, so called, showed the deepest
ami strongest prejudice against tbe
defendant, und in cny tribunal th;t
Ajr. fsherqan knows of nearly every
one would bare been rejected on his
oath, anq yet, though challenged. (hey

With such a Jury I am prepared to
believe tho story ttlegraphed tbis
morning, that the two colored jurors
were tricked into agreeing to tbis
verdict by an empty appeal to tbe
mercy of the court.
Tbe cause of this excitement
against Anuursoa and bis associates
is, that in the performance of a public
duty, in plain pursuance of law and
qpon ample testimony, they eliminat
ed from tLa election returns in Louis
iana tho results of violence and in
timidation. Though this was not al
leged in tbe "information," yet every
body knew tbat this was the grava
men of their offence, and without it
no man on tbis jury would bave con
victed Anderson. t is this tbat ex
cited this populane, heated wiih pas
sion, to tbo highest state of resent
ment. Tbe truth is, the Vernon returns
were opened by tbe Returning Board
before hosts of witnesses on the ninth
day of tbo examination; were printed
precisely as they were named, and
the subsequent altpratioa by Little
field of one copy of tbece returns was
done either as a put up job by bim,
or in tbe interest of local candidates,
having no effect upon tbe general re
sult ; and there does not appear to
be a single scrap of testimony show
ing that Anderson participated in it
the slightest degree.
There was no motivp for such an
alteration by Anderson. I still hope
that this conviction will not be car
ried into execution, but, if it is, as a
matter of course, tbe deepest feeling
of respntmpnt and. hostility will exist
in the minds of the great mass of
our people, wbo believe that these
returning officers did 'ly tbir sim
ple duty. Nothing bas L'en done
pending tbe trial to interfere iu any
way witb the course of judicial pro

llome says: "In reply
to a question from several foreign
courts the Papal 'uncios bave been
instructed to announce that tbe fu
neral of tho late Pope will be private
ly celebrated in the Sis'jne Cbappel
the ICtb, 17th, and 18th insts. Con
sequently persons attending service
will do so in a private manner. Tbis
course is Adopted, it is believed, to
avoid tbe necessity of either assign
ing or refusing to assign special ac
commodations at tbe funeral for the
Italian Royal family and tbe min
isters. Tbe Chamberlain has declared to
the Catholic Governments that the
Assembly of tbe Conclave in Rome
mnst no be considered as prejudicing
any questions affecting the Rights of
tbe Holy See. Tbe Cardinals will
assemble in Conclave, on tbe evening
of the IStb inst. The proclamation
of the new Pope will be made to tbe

Washington, Feb. l.'l, During a
debate, this afternoon, on the Milita
ry Academy Appropriation bill, Mr.
Conger, of Michigan, charged tbe
Democrats with desiring to destroy
the army by atUe'xing tbe appropiia
tion. Mr. Chalmers replied, denying
tbat such a purpose was entertained.
Mr. Hewitt next undertook to ar
raign Sooth Carolina for hostility to
West Point, and Mr. Aiken, of that
State, retorted tbat Hewitt was what
be was called the other day, by Mr.
House, of Tennessee "a liar." Mr.
Hewitt grew greatly excited,
and proceeded to say that be would
recite an unwritten chapter of Amer
ican history. It proved to be the
old story, developed in tbe electoral
coriteslast year, that bo had been
offered tha vote of Louisiana for
$500,000, and tbe story which was
controverted and overthrown by
Madison Wells. Half a dozen South
era Democrats then sprung on Hew
itt aud denouueed bim as having
sold the Presidency. Hewitt got
mad again, and declared his belief
that there was a bargain between
Hayes' friends and the Southern
nemocrats. ;'in(ey (,1 Unio, next

as "a boary-beaded old ratcal." This
brought out Garfield, Hale and Fos

denied the bargain. Mr. Garfield
defended earnestly the Southern
Democrats who bad voted tc go on
witb tbe coqot. defended the with
drawal of the troops as a "Constitu

New Orleams, February l.
This morning when tbe motion for a
new trial in the Anderson case came
up the defence filed additional
grounds, vi : That the aoeused could
prove by Littiefleld that he never
bad any connection whatever with
the forgery and uttering of forged
returns, to which fact Littiefleld had
already testified before the Congres
sional Committee in Washington;
tbat Littltfield after a year's absence
had clandestinely returned and hid
den himself until after tbe evidence
had closed and the argument opened,
thereby depriving tbe accused of bis
testimony. The accused can also
prove by Colonel acbar!e, Democrat,
tbat be was not present at the open
ing of the returns from Vernon par
ish ; that the Democratic clerks often
made errors in the returns for which
a criminal charge could have been
made, and that the incorrectness of
Stenographer Collins' report of the
Returning Board proceedings was
often referred to duriajr the proceed
ings. Tbe motion was continued un
til 1'riday.

The rostoflice Department Js still
at work opening the 40,000 bids for
carrying mails west of the Mississip
pi, it is expected that a lull we:'k
will yet be required to flnUb this la
bor. A large number of contractor!
are here awaiting the decision. Al
though no bids have yet been made
public, tbe contractors are free to say
that tb? bidding is tbe lowest in 20
years. The result will be a very
large saving to the government in
this branch of expenditure. Judre
Key says that bo anticipates a large
savimr at this letting, owla? to the
scarcity cf money, the low rates of
labor, and tbe certainty of the gov
ernment to pay. One contractor
was detained with his bid by a break
in the railroad, and did not get here
until several hours after the close of
tbe lime for receiving bids. His case
is under sdvisement.
