THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1875.
The Lawyer.
BY J. Q. SAXE.
An attorney was taking a ‘turn,’
In shabby habiliments drest,
His coat was shockingly worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His breeches had suffered a breach,
llis linen and worsted were worse,
He scarce had a crown in his hat,
And not half a crown in his purse.
And thus as he wandered along.
A cheerless and comfortless elf,
He sought for relief in a song,
Or coinplainingly talked to himself.
‘Most unfortunate man that I am,
For my only client is Grief;
The case is, I’ve no ‘case’ at all.
And in brief, I ne’er had a ‘brief,’
‘t he profession’s already so full
Of lawyers so full of profession,
That a modest young man like myself
Can’t im ke the smallest impression.
They grant I’m acquainted with ‘grants,’
Can devise a ‘devise’ or a plea,
Can make a good fee in ‘simple,’
but I can’t get the simplest ‘fee!’
‘l’ve waited and waited in vain,
Expecting an ‘opening’ to find.
Where an honest young lawyer might gain
Some lewafd for the toil of ids mind.’
While thus he wandered along,
His eyes accidentally fell
On a very deep hole in .the ground,
And he sighed to him e’f, ‘it is well.’
To curb his emotions, he sat
On the curbstone the space of a minute,
Then cried, ’here’s an opening at last,’
And in less than a jiffy was in 't.
Next day, twelve citizens came,
1 he coroner’s quest to attend.
To * he end that it might be determined
How the man had deierrnined his end.
‘The man was a lawyer, it seems,’
( Said the foreman, wno ‘ooened” of course,
A lawyer, alas!’ cried another,
‘He undoubtedly died of remorse.’
The third said he 1 new the deceased,
An attorney we’l ve-sed in the laws,
And as to the cause of his death,
‘Xwas no doubt for the want of a ‘cause!’
The ‘crowners’ at leDgth gave a verdict,
Which finally settled the matter.
Tliet the young man was drown-ded, be
cause
Be could not keep bis head above water.

THE WORK OF THE MILITARY.
An Account of How the Conservatives
Were Ejected by Bayonets-Manly
Course of Speaker Wiltz-Withdraw
al of the Speaker, Clerk and Con
servative Members.
W e take up our report of the mili
tary interference in the Legislature, at
the moment when Gen. Trobriand de
manded of Speaker Wiltz that the mem
bers not returned by the Returning
Board be ejected.
To this Mr. Wiltz objected and refus
ed to allow’ any member to be ejected
unless a resort was had to force by the
United States forces.
He said he owed it to his people and
it was his duty so to act.
Gen. Trobriand then ordered Yigers
to proceed with the calling of the roll,
which lie proceeded to do, the Conser
vative members refusing in almost
every instance to answer to their
names, and refusing in any manner to
recognize Yigers. The roll was how
ever continued, and the Clerk reported
that tifty-four had answered the call.
Mr. Lowell said he was a member
elect and did not desire to be seated by
force of arms, but wanted to act legally
and under the constitution of the State.
Speaker Wiltz said he was the legal
Speaker and that the officers now in
stalled were the legal officers, and he
protested against the calling of the
roll.
Gen. Trobriand then retired to the
door, and a file of soldiers at his bid
ding, soon afterwards entered the Hall.
Gen. Trobriand then walked up the
aisle and asked that the clerk, Vigers,
should call the roll.
Speaker Wiltz protested against the
entrauee of the military and requested
the members to join in a protest with
him. In response to this call all of the
Conservatives members stood up and
solemnly protested.
He said continuing that as the mat
ter stood they were at the mercy of
Gen. Trobriand and the bayonets of
his troops. The soldiers of the United
States are with bayonets in the Hall
of Representatives of Louisiana, and
he again entered his protest against
the unwarranted intrusion.
Yigers, at this juncture, attempted
to act as clerk, Mr. Trezevant object
ing, as did Mr. Wiltz.
Vigers then retired to get a special
detail to install him, and at this point
the Chairman of the Committee on
Credentials reported the following con
testants as entitled to their seats, viz :
Dunn, of Grant; Jeffreys, Luekett and
Stafford, of Rapides ; Vaugh, Horan
and Land, of Caddo ; Swing, of Iberia ;
Quinn, of Avoyelles.
Vigers was soon back again, accom
panied by soldiers and Gen. Trobriand,
who had, in the meantime, gone out
also, and with them Maj. Gen. Hugh J.
Campbell, of the Louisiana militia.
Gen. Campbell asked Speaker Wiltz to
point out the members just admitted
upon the report of the Committee cm
Credentials. Mr. Wiltz refused to
comply with the demand, and again
entered his protest against military in
trusion.
Gen. Trobriand replied that he could
not decide upon contested places, and
must obey his order. He, accompa
nied by Gen. Campbell, then went
around with a file of soldiers with fixed
bayonets proceeded to eject Mr. Vaugh,
of Caddo; Messrs. Stafford, Jeffries
and Luekett, of Rapides; Mr. Dunn, of
Grant; Mr. Kelly, of Winn, and Messrs.
Horace and Land, of Caddo, who each
and all protested in the name of the
people whom they specially represent
ed, and in the name of the people of
the whole Union, against this force of
arms.
Gen. Campbell then asked that Vigers
call the roll, so that all not upon it
might be ejected by the troops.
Against this action Mr. Wiltz firmly
protested, but Gen. Trobriand ordered
Vigers to proceed.
Mr. Vigers again attempting to call
the roll, the Speaker called upon the
Sargeant-at-Arms to eject him. Capt.
Flood then went on the platform and
laid his hand on the arm of Vigers and
ejected him from the platform.
Gen. Campbell then appealed to Gen.
De Trobriand to protect Vigers, where
upon the Speaker asked Gen. Camp
bell by what authority he was acting in
Vhe House, as he did not recognise him
Sfcjflailj) (Eon^titutionalist.
as a member. To this Gen. Campbell
replied that he regarded the Legisla
ture assembled as a revolutionary body;
that he was appointed commander of
the State House to Governor Kellogg,
and on that authority he proposed to
act.
The Speaker then called on the Ser
geant-at-Arms to eject Campbell, when
Capt. Flood laid his hand on the arm
of Campbell. The latter then appealed
for protection, when Gen. Trobriand
asked the Speaker if it would be ne
cessary to use force, to which he was
answered in the affirmative.
Gen. Trobriand then gave a signal,
and two officers, followed by two sol
diers with guns and bayonet attach
ments, entered and marched up to the
platform.
Then the Speaker, rising in his seat,
said :
“As the legal Speaker of the House
of Representatives of the Stat of Lou
isian, I have protested against the in
vasion of our hall by the soldiers of
the United States with drawn bayonets
and loaded muskets. We have seen
our brother members violently seized
by force of arms and torn from us, in
spite of their solemn protest. We have
seen a force of soldiers march up the
aisles of the hall of Representatives of
Louisiana, have protested agains this
in the name of a once free people. In
the name of the once free State of Lou
isiana, in the name of the Union, he
entered his solemn protest.
“ The chair of the only Speaker of the
House of Louisiana is surrounded by
United States troops, the officers of
the House are prisoners in their hands,
so I solemnly declare that Louisiana
has ceased to be a sovereign State;
that it has no longer a republican gov
ernment, and I call on the Representa
tives of the State to retire with me be
fore tins show of arms.”
SPEAKER WILTZ
with all the Conservative members
then left the Hall in a body, and
marched to the Conservative head
quarters, No. 71 St. Louis street, where
they soon after adjourned to meet
again at 1% o’clock this evening.
They were followed by an immense
concourse of citizens, who cheered them
terrifically and called for speeches.
Mr. Marr and other gentlemen then
addressed the crowd in a few words,
enjoining them to keep the peace. The
crowd thereupon drew off, but returned,
however, to the vicinity of the State
House, where large numbers of citi
zens had gathered to watch and hear
what was going on.
THE RADICAL LEGISLATURE.
After the withdrawal of the Conser
vatives, Clerk Vigers proceeded to call
the roll, when 53 members answered to
their names. Fifty-four was necessary
to a quorum, but the House surmount
ed this difficulty by Vigers declaring
there were fifty-four present, which
was a remarkable deviation from strict
facts.
It was then moved and carried that
Hahn be elected permanent Speaker.
Hahn on taking his seat, delivered
the usual stereotyped address of
thanks.
Lowell then took the floor and made
the remarkable assertion that he pro
tested against the presence of United
States military in the hail of the House,
and moved that they be required to
leave.
Mur rill suggested that the Sergeant,-
at-Arms exclude them, but the milita
ry obviated the difficulty by voluntari
ly retiring.
On motion, then, the Speaker pro
ceeeded to swear in the members, he
himself having been sworn ia by Mr.
Lowell, the oldest member, when that
gentleman’s scruples were removed by
the retirement of the United States
military.
On motion, Tyler and Johnson, of
DeSoto, and Ward, from Grant, were
admitted to seats, the House reserving
the right of contest.
If the members from the other two
parishes had boen present, they would
also have been admitted.
A message was then received from
the Senate, that that body was ready
to proceed to business.
On motion, it was agreed that the
House be governed by the same rules
as obtained in 1873.
Vigers was then elected Chief Clerk
of the House, and Roxooro, Assistant
Clerk.
Committees were then appointed to
wait on the Senate and Governor, and
inform them that the House was or
ganized and ready to proceed to busi
ness.
A committee of seven on elections
and qualifications was also appointed.
R. C. Howard was then elected Post
master.
A message was next received from
the Governor, which, on being read,
was laid over to be called up.
Again Mr. Lowell moved that a com
mittee of five be appointed to examine
into the purposes of what he styled
the revolution—anybody who took
possession of the State House that
day. Carried.
The House then adjourned till noon
to-morrow.
[New York World.
The Strangled State.
Two hundred and thirty-four years
ago yesterday Charles Stuart went
dawn to the House of Commons in per
son and demanded the arrest of Pym,
Hampden, Hollis, Haslerig and Strode.
Yesterday Ulysses Grant, in the person
of Gen. De Trobriand, entered the Leg
islature of Louisiana and demanded
the ejection of five members of that
body, The five members of Louisiana
were as strictly the champions of free
government as the five members of the
House of Commons, and the whole po
litical welfare of these United States is
bound up with the success of the cause
for which those men are fighting.—
What happened to Charles we know. —
The least and lightest that can happen
to Grant, if Republican liberty is to
survive on this continent, is to be fol
lowed at the end of his term of public
office into the obscurity from which he
emerged at the beginning of it by the
execrations of all the people.
We hope there is no American man
who can read the news from New Or
leans without a thrill of shame and
rage. There is no doubt in the mind
of any man in Louisiana that the five
men for whose ejection De Trobriand
called yesterday were the chosen Rep
reseatatives of the lawful voters of
their districts. There is no doubt iu
the mind of any man that with the
cause of which these men were the ac
credited champions rests the only hope
not alone of good government, but of
Republican government, in the State
of Louisiana. The miserable imposture
of Government under which the State
has groaned so long, from the creature
of fraud, has become avowedly the
creature of force. The miserable
usurper Kellogg is more plainly than
ever before seen to be the puppet
of the yet more flagitious usurper,
Grant, who has now employed’the mil
itary power which is intrusted to him
to maintain |the liberties and defend
the rights of his countrymen in putting
both to an open shame. The troops of
New Orleans were not there as a police.
There was no pretence that they were
needed to preserve public order. They
were there only to prop the government
which Grant had set up over the peo
ple of Louisiana, and which the people
of Louisiana, were the soldiers of the
United States withdrawn from their
degrading work, would sweep from
power forever in an hour. Their com
mander expressly said that his instruc
tions were to obey the orders of Kel
logg. It was well for the Speaker of
the House to say, as he did, that Louis
iana has not a Republican form of gov
ernment.
We can have nothing but praise for
the spirit in which the Representatives
of Louisiana yielded to the tyranny
which they could not resist. We say
deliberately that there was no reason
why they should not have resisted,
and resisted to the death, this foul out
rage upon law and liberty, except the
hopelessness of resisting. A rising yes
terday would have had consequences
which are pitiful and terrible even to
think of. These consequences were
present to the legislators of Louisiana,
who not only yielded with decency
when they could not resist with hope,
but who have thus far stayed the
hands of their constituents. But we
say also that, terrible as would
have been the consequences of resis
tance yesterday, they are less terrible
than will be the consequences ol! sub
mission on the part of the people of the
United States to the outrage which has
been perpetrated upon them all through
the people of Louisiana. For that
submission, or any tolerance of this
last and worst outrage of the traitor
who sits in the President’s chair.which
stops short of driving him from it into
darkness and disgrace, will be a con
fession that the American people are
no longer fit to have the liberties which
in that case it will not take them long
to lose; and it were better that the
gutters of New Orleans should rnn
with blood than that Republican gov
ernment should be exchanged through
out the country, as it has been ex
changed iu New Orleans, for the rule
of a stupid and sordid tyrant.

Col. W. T. Thompson, of the Savan

for the benefit of Col. Clisby, and our
self, that in 1837 he established in Au
gusta the first literary paper ever
printed in Georgia, the Augusta Mirror.
It was shortly after that time, we be
lieve, that Col. Thompson’s “Major
Jones’ Courtship” appeared in print,
and was received with a measure of
popular favor accorded to but few
Southern publications. His has been
the rare fortune to win deserved dis
tinction, both in the field of literature
and politics. —Columbus Enquirer.
The Macon Telegraph privately learns
that the reported insubordination and
lack of discipline among the students
of the University of Georgia, have been
greatly overstated, probably by those
who were opposed to the partial reor
ganization of last August.
Old citizens and members of the Fac
ulty who have been connected with the
institution for many years, assert that
the order aud discipline the present
term have been bttter than ever be
fore. Everything is now working
smoothly, and if, in the opinion of the
writer, the Utopian scheme of unifica
tion could be abaudoned, aud the Uni
versity continue to exist with a college
department, and the addition of the
schools of science and agriculture, now
in successful operation, a bright and
glorious career will open up to this an
cient seat of learning.
Savannah Advertiser says: The sales
of real estate at the Court House yes
terday include several buildings in
that portion of the city where the so
cial evil generally gives the stamp to
the neighborhood, and big routs are
extorted from the helpless victims of
the landlord’s rapacity. It does not
seem that the Sheriff forced the sales,
but the owners being nominally Catho
lics, had their minds and consciences
pricked by the Redemptorist Fathers,
and desiring to return to the allegiance
of .the church, were denied its privi
leges so long as they owned and rented
property for such purposes. It was
probably a hard struggle between rents
and religion, but the latter prevailed.
We will not discuss a theory that, car
ried to its extreme, would make home
less outcasts of those poor unfortu
nates who are more to be pitied than
blamed, but we must admire the
strength of discipline that brings about
such results. Now let the Redemp
torist Fathers get after the grog sell
ers, who are productive of more sin
than ail the poor fallen women in the
world.
A soldier of a cavarly regiment was

I put the liquor in the same bottle, and
mine was at the bottom; and sure, I
was obliged to drink his to get out me
own!” °
