SHERIDAN'S RAID AS A
QUESTION.
i It seems that the Republicans in
Congress are disposed, with one or
two honorable exceptions, to make
common cause with the President and
Sheridan in their brutal rai on the
people of Louisiana. Some members
say positively that if the qusstion of
sustaining General Sheridan comes up
strict party lines will be drawn, and
this would appear to .be correct, for
Mr. Willard, of Vermont, is the only
Republican member who has thus far
expressed a disapprobation of the
course that has been pursued there
during the past, four days. Mr. Hale's
resolution directing the Judiciary
Committee-xif the House to report a
bill for a new election in Louisiana
is construed in some quartern as a re
flection upon the Administration's
employment of troops. .
It might be well for these partisan
abettors of treason against the Con
stitution to heed the admonitions of
outsiders of their own 'faith, unless
they are bent on running the: r organ
ization into the- ground ana utterly
wrecking it before the next Presi-
dential election. The New ' York
Times, which used to Ijk mioifid with
approbation by the faithful, talks
pretty freely about -Sheridanjs fero
eions message," "foolish blunders,"
going back two or three centuries in
the world's history, etc., etc, day af
ter day. The New York Tribune says
the Republican party can never sur
vive this trial. And Mr. l Foster,
Republican member of the pongres-i
sional Investigating Committee a-t
New Orleans is quoted assaying with
sad heart: " I presume the President
can keep this thing up for two years
" more, and as he evidently so intendSj
"I presume he will do it. But you
" may rest assured that if he does, it
" will be utterly out of the question
" to elect a' Republican Pre sident irj
. " 1876." Meantime the Governors
.continue to disapprove, the depreca
tory resolutions of the "Legislatures
goon, and the people issue calls for
monster meetings to condemn iaringr
ing tones the great crime of a Repub
lican age.
Will the Radical party of the conn
try abide this issue ?
PASSAGE OF 'IHE FINANCE BILIi.
On Thursday last the effoi ts of the
Republican ring-leaders wers crown
ed with success in the Houses of Rep
resentatives . by the passage of the
Senate Finance Bill, a brief Outline of
which was given in this papeij some
time ago. Notwithstanding the ap
plication of the caucus lash there
were quite a number of Republicans
who voted nay. Not a single Demo-
crat supported, the measu're. The
Republicans voting in the Inegative
were Messrs. Willard, of Vermont;
Buffinton, Harris, Pierce, Gooch, E.
it. Hoar, i. i?. rioar, and JJawes, ot-
Massachusetts; Hawley, of Connecti
cut; Scudder, Lawson, and Clarke, of
New York; Kelley and Tow asend, of
Pennsylvania; Niles, of Mississippi;
Sherwood and Wood worthy of Ohio;
Crutchfield, of Tennessee; ?ield, of
Michigan; and Hagans, of West Vir-
. ginia, i-n all. twenty votes. .The vote
on the final passage was 125 to 106.
A bare majority.of the Finance Com
mittee favored the bill. A majority
of the delegations from New Eng
land, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana Arkan
sas, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, (Cali
fornia and Kansas voted for, the bill.
Iow.a voted solidly for the bill, and
Kansas and Texas solidly against it.
The Koiithem States here i ndicated
are represented chiefly.- by carpet
baggers, who are under Jhe control
- of the New York inoney-ring. .The
bill provides for specie pay merjt re
sumption in 1879, and is not what is
depired by the back-bone of the coun
try the West and South.
GOING SCOT FREE
1 1 he U nited States House 1 of Rep
resentatives have refused to entertain
articles of impeachment against Fed
eral Judges Durell. and Jusleed.
This was expected.': Durell was the
fomenter by his servile luidniglit
order of all the troubles in Louisianl.
If he bad stood as a bulwark between
the people of that-unhappy . tate and
their oppressors he would liave en
titled himself to the same recognition
among honest people that is jiccorded
lo Judge Brooks in this Sta ,e. But
lie chose deliberately to enrjoll .him
telf among the unjust judges, the
despots and partisan incendiaries of
lie darkest' ajres. He won as such an
niortality of infamy. When his

and when the reckless: party of which!

CREED J
Gov. -Tildeu may be considered aj
representative Democrat. In, his fe
cent message to the Legislature of
New York he enunciates in clear,
strong, unmistakable phrase the poli
cy and theory of the 'liberalized De
mocracv of the cbuntrv. It is the;
platform, on which this journal haj
ever stood, aud we are greatly pleased,
to find our views so cogently and con
cisely expressed by a .leader of sue
eminence and ability as Samuel J
Tilden
"Such has been our course, after and ni l
spite of the fact that these.our kindred, in

and in the declaration of principles and purj

There should be no misunderstandind

The questions settled by the war are nevef
to be re-opened. The adoption of thej
XHIth. XIYth. and XVtU Amendments to
the Federal Constitution 'closed one great

of the struggles that grew out of mat sys

OFFICIAL INDIGNATION.
Action In the States on tbe Grant-
Sheridan Raid.
! OHIO,
Columbus, January 1.
Governor Alien has sent tlie foljow-
in& rnessage.to the General Assembly,
which was referred to the Committee
on Federal Kelations:
"I desire to call your attention to
tuc iiuuioiauuB UL 1UICUCI'
ene ot federal troops in the orgam-
zation and proceedings of the Legis
laiure or a sister- otate. it tne re
ported action of the military in un-
seating persons claiming to be mem-
bers of tbe Louisiana Legislature and
giving their places to persons coutest-
proper,
would be legal -and proper here,;and
it seems to rae to be the duty of the
representatives of this State to at
once enter a vigorous protest against
an action that may be made a preced
ent at some future time for the over
throw of "civil government here. . If
there is a law warranting; the settling
of contested elecliou cases in State
Legislatures by the use of Federal
troops, then, in nty judgment, you
should request its immediate repeal.
If there is no law for it, then your in
dignant protest should be heard at
Washington insisting upon sucli ac
tion of Congress as will preveut in
tuture such flagrant outrages against
civil liberty."
. TENNESSKE. f
Nashville, Jan. 7-
Gov. Brown, in his message to-day,
refers to Louisiana matters as follows:
"If we smay credit reports that
reach us through the dam7 press, and
which seem to have the sanction of
official authority, the power of the, na
tional government, through its mili
tary arm. is being used for the sub-
version of the liberties of the people
vi Louisiana. ; jtossidiv ii is not in
your power to do more than to inter
pose a solemn and earnest protest
against this glaring crime. Yet if
this be & that the representatives of
so valorous a State as Tennessee may
do, I trust that your protest may beJ
iuaue wtin sucn empnasisana earnest
ness as to arrest the attention of every
patriotic citizen in this Republic, and
awaken the people everywhere to a
sense of the danger that threatens our
constitutional liberties."

ART DEPARTMENT. 187
The illustrations of TliE ALDINE have wen a
world-wide reputation, and in the art centre of Eu
rope it is an admitted act that its wood cutsiare ex
amples of the highest perfection ever attained. The
common prejudice in favor of " 6teel-flates,y is rap- "
idly yielding to a more educated and discriniinutiiip
taste wnicn recognizes the advantages of superior
artistic quality with greater .facility of production.

To fully-rtialiae the wonderful work whitai -I ilk
ALDINE is doh-g for the cause of art culture in
America, it is only necessary to consider , the cost lo

In addition to designs by the members of;the Na
tional Academy;, and other noted Americanl artint.,
THE ALDINE will reproduce examples of jthe bun
foreign masters, seieciea witn a.view 10 uiu,ui;ucm
artistic success and greatest general interest Thus
the subscriber to THE ALDINE will, at ai trilling
cost, enjoy in his own home the pleasure andireiin l.y

These Chromos are in every sense American.
They are by an original American process, with ma

American scenery by an American painter, jmd pre
sented to subscribers to the first successful American
Art Journal.! If no .better because of all this,-they.

if by reason of peculiar facilities of production t hey
cost the publishers only a trifle, while equal in ever)
