WHITEHEAD, PuBM5IIF.Il AND BUSINESS MANAOTEB. * 1 ??? ?. .". ?&- rK? are tn no tvtty responsible for the views or opinions of our Correspondents. Tho Republican paity is dead. Surely its friends ought to make Grant and Sheridan behave themselves at the funeral f THE TRUTH UNPLEASANT. The iaiest dispatches from Washing ton state that the Congressional sub committee* sent to New Orleans to in vestigate Louisiana affairs have re turned, and it is said* that tho testi mony taken before them does not sustain the charges of violence'or in timidation of negro voters by the Democrats, and that they will con demn the action of the recent return ing board as illegal. These truths, however, being rather unpleasant, it is now thought that the whole committee will ignore the work of the sub-committee, and go and in vestigate for themselves. This is what we want?the whole truth and nothing bat the truth, and we are not afraid of it. THE LQVlStANA OUTRAGE. We publish to-day a few comment* of the Northern press on the Louis iana outrage, showing that public sen timent is entirety iu opposition to the obstinate stupidity of President Grant. As for Sheridan, his actions and his dispatches exhibit about as much sense as a ten year old school boy of ordinary ability and boastful procliv ities. ? Doubtless it is a source of deep re gret and mortification to General Grant and the rest of his crew?like himself, of questionable military rep utation?that they have not goaded the people of Louisiana to violence and revolution as they hoped; but that they have actually shown more wisdom and common sense than their masters, and studiously avoided the trap set tor them. ^ We regret of course, the shame and disgrace which this combined dullness and hatred of a few (would-be) heroes has brought upon American civiliza tion; but we rejoice that it will prove a blessing to Louisiana and the whole country, by opening the eyes of the masses to the utter incapacity of the men they heve elected to office. THE POPULAR VERDICT. Speech in Congress by General Gordon, of Georgia. He stood aghast at .the spectacle presented in this Senate yesterday. A spectacle of one portion of the members seeking to ruin the fair name and honor of the people of one section of this country before the civ ilized world. He was amazed, utterly amazed, that there should be found in the hearts of men with whom he daily associated upon this floor so much hate. Ho was totally unpre pared for it, and if ho believed to-day that the expressions which ha heard from Senators' lips yesterday"reflected the sentiments of the Northern people, he would feel that it was time for the Southern people to die. If he bo lieved that those expressions fore shadowed the policy of this govern ment toward the South, then ho wouid say let us have dono with this farce cf local self-government. He did not beiievo that such sentiments were en tertained by the northern pcoplo. Ho did not believe that brave men, against whom the people of the South had lately contended, entertained any such sentiments. He belifvcd the great majority of the American peoplo of* both North and South, white and black, abhorred any such spirit of an imosity He believed the movement inaugurated in 3862 by the. large headed and large-hearted men of the United States to bring about good feeling and harmony would be suc cess fuT. ? * * * * He did not propose to discuss the resolution, but to reply to what he was forced to conclude were gratuit ous insult* offered to his people by some of the senators on the other side of the chamber. It was charged that murders prevailed throughout tho South, and that these murders were by the hands of tho Democratic white man's party. His reply to that was brief. Tito charge was false. It was true that murders hnd occurred, but no one deplored that more than him self, nor more than tho people he rep- j resented. His peoplo hnd always said that the class of peoplo committing these murders were the worst enemies of tho South. If murders were com mitted, was that any reason for brand ing*'the whole Southern peoplo ns a set of ns'snpfins and barbarians ? Wherever in tha Southern States peo pie of honesty and integrity have control of public affairs, property, lifo and liberOy are as safe as they are in any NeftJkem Siatc [Applause in tho gallei?fos.]l * <*" <i' * ' A band of misguided negroes who _.1_1 _x ..!.!? -JO.- - a_ luaxvnxru av uigiiv ttivu nims vv mur der and hands to plunder could not be attacked by whites in self-defence. If they were attacked and a conflict ensued in which a few were killed, the South was then charged with dis loyalty and antagonism to the Fede ral government. The colored militia men might insult women, rob. pillage and drag innocent men from their beds, and when the white men resist ed " them I the Southern people were held up as murderers and assassins. * * * * * Before the men who had no interest in common with the Southern people, except to array the blacks against them, came there, good feeling existed { between the blacks aud whites. There were churches and school houses in the South for the blacks, and in every Southern State money had been con-1 tril.uted by the whites for school houses and churches for the blacks. The Southern white people had con tributed more than any one else. Only the other day a resident of j Georgia,.!? bis? last will and testa ment, bequeathed a hundred thousand dollars to educate colored people. Speech in Congress by Bayard of Dela ware. If there was now the tone in the executive department of this coanftry that there onco was, that officer (Sher idan) would never sign his name again as lieutenant-general of the United States army., If that officer had been in a hostile country he could not have made a more brutal or bloody threat. Such language as that used in a dispatch was like that used by the captain of a band of Jan issaries.asking for instructions from some Oriental despot. General Sher idan had no one quality to fit him for the duties to command in Louisiana. His first quality should be good will towards the* people of the State. * * * if congress permitted fBuch power as this to be exercised by the President in Louisiana* to-day,, it might be exercised ia> New York to morrow,- to Massachusetts- the next day, and in tho Congress of the United States on the -iAh of March nexfc- A> single brigade could take charge of the capitol on the 4th of March next, shut out the people and give the- seats to the friends of the dominant party only. To-day was the anniversary of | tho battle of New Orleans, a battle which covered the American armies with glory. Should the glory of 1815 be dimmed or clouded by the shame of 1875? Was it to be that those who fought against such fearful odds to defend that city in 1815 fought lor nothing? It may have been tnat mis takes were mads, that misjudgraent aud partisan feeling, all combined, led the President to take the action he did, but he (Bayard) hoped that the Ameic?? people would give him a command by which he would oe forced to obey the laws and take his armed hand from the throat of Lou isiana, In the whole record or political crimes and political blunders com mitted by the Republican party there is nothing which surpasses in blunder ing criminality yesterday's proceed ings of tho Senate and House of Rep rentatives. * * * It is hardly too much to say that the Republican party will find it impossible to rally from the effects of this staggering blow received in the house of its friends.?New York Evening Post. "Such a dispatch as that which Gen. Sheridan sent to the sec rotary of war on Tuesday, is not warranted by any facts known to the public, and could scarcely be warranted under any conceivable citcumstances. We have never published such a doc ument before, and we must say that nothing like it has ever been seen in any country under constitutional gov ernment. It almost induces one to believe that the world has. gone back two or three hundred years in the theory and practice of government." * * * * There is a shorter cut still which Gen. Sheridan might have recommended. It is for tho President to declare the constitution and all its amendments annulled, shut up Congress, put down nil newspapers, and then declare him self dictator, with Gen. Sheridan as his sole minister and chief execution er.''?New York Times. Tho President will soon see that he is not supported by the sentiment of tho couutry, and that Iii? unparalleled course nrrouses the apreheusions of the people n? no other public event has done since tho firing on Fori Sumtcr?New York Herald. If the cabinet had been prudeut it would have put General Sheridan'? ferocious message on or under the table or into the lire and said nothing nbout it. Instead of that General Bel knap telegraphed buck to Sheri dan and said. "The President and all of us thoroughly approve your courso," which wus one of the most unnecessary and foolish blunders ever committed by the present govern men t. Wc hopo that tho President's forth coming message will bo a little more rreditu!>le to liiniself, his cabinet, his party, and to the people of tho United States, who, if they also thoroughly approved of Sheridan's course, would stand disgraced before tho civilized world."?New York Tribune, NEWS ITEMS.

A convention of the governors of the various Startes is proposed to take some steps in reference to Grant's IUgh handed usurpation, of power.

Several members of the cabinet are, however, represented as never having been consulted, and it is reported that Fish will resign. Important News to GREAT Riraijpiis.
