THE CROWNING "OUTRAGEI b
ti
The audacity of the State Cen. p
tral Committee is without parallel. ii
In the history of American politics, a
there is not one single act compar- b
able, for cool impudence, with the b
position assumed by the Committee s
last Thursday night. Not even the v
sachems of Tammany, after whom g
this clique pattern, ever dreamed of I
such a monstrous usurpation of an- a
thority.
At the meeting referred to,the Cus- c
tomhouse faction who rule the State a
Committee, adopted a resolution e
that no person should be admitted I
to the place where they may finally c
decide to hold the Republican State I
Convention on the 9th inst., teithout
a pas issued by them! This grossz
outrage they propose to enforce by j
appointing U. 8. Special Deputy ]
Marshals in large numbers selected i
from the tools of their chief, Mr. I
Packard.
I Great God, what iniquities am
bition will lead men to commit!
Not only has this accidental majori
ty of the Conmmittee determined to
packthe Convention by constituting
themselves judges of the qualifica
tions of members, but by prostitu
ting the powers of the Federal
government they propose to deny
admission to the hall of assembly,
of even contestants and legitimafe
representatives of the people who
may chanes to differ from their
views of party policy.
Americans, Repnblicans, will you
calmly submit to such tyrannonus
and villainous dictation? Will you
passively see wrested from you your
dearest privileges and liberties?
Will you have it go forth to the
world that the great Republican
party of Louisiana is but a mere
vehicle to carry ambitious dema
.gognes into office? We hope, we
pri, not! Let the people pitiless
ly perform their duty, and hurl
these usurpers from the high sta
tions which they disgrace, to the ob
searity from whence they sprang!

MAKIE THL MOST OF TIHEM.
Despi e the pledges to recti* the
alteration made by Mesrs.a Pac
kard and Herwig, in the original
call for a Conventioni, the state
Committee-or rather a portion
thereof-met on Thursday evening,
at the Customhouse, and failed to
designate a place of assemblage for the
the delegates. This is convincing
evidence that they design to pack to
the Convention at all hazards, for
the purpose of organizing a bbUing
wing of the Republican party in this c
State.
The desperate programme of the
Federal office-holders "ring," re- w
ceives the heart support and en- R
couragement of the Democratic th
leaders and organs, who are already m
indulging in self-congratulations
over their anticipated victory next
year. But we have this to sayto th
them in the fullest faith and belief:
)~ dc
you may deprive our party of a few a
so-called leaders, who have outlit
ed the day of their usefulness, but al
the great loyal-hearted masses of
the people will not follow. In 1872
the indignant Republican voters of
Louisiana will forever consign your
traitorous allies to their political tl
tomb! Mark this prediction. ti
MUDDLE or DELEGITES.-We be
lieve that neither in the history of
our party nor of any other party, tl
I similarly circumstanced has ever
t such a pitiable and disgraceful con
t dition of things presented itself, as ie
we are witnessing within the ranks
s of our party at this time. Exacer
I bation, jealousy, ambition, vindic
tiveness in the minds of certain men
prominent in our midst, have been
I. industriously at work to foment o
a, strife and create dislikes, and widen a
r- breaches between Republicans "who
ie had else like kindred drops been
,e mingled into one," until we find the
ie very leaders of our party far as the v
n poles asunder, and the army of fol
Af lowers split into two distinct and
1- antagonistic divisions. I
This could not be without its
- effects qn any representative as
Le sembly elected by such an army
in and under the direction of such
d leaders. One part would hold with
ly one side, and one with the other.
te We could even understand this.
it We could appreciate the desire, of a
9s man who believes he has been un
)y justly deprived of what he conceives
ty himself entitled to, to contest the
d right of any other individual to oust
[r. him from his rightful position. But
what shall we say of the lamentable
- spectacle which we are beholding
it! eery hour in our midst? L
ri- The city to-day is full of men
to claiming to represent the various
ig parishes in the ensuing Convention"
a- Indeed so great is the number, and
u- so various are the claims that the
al mind is bewildered in its efforts to
ny decide "who is who."
ly, The State Central Committee,
ke however, propose, it is alleged, to
bo cut the Gordian knot, by deceed
Bir ing before hand who shall be en
titled to seats in the preliminary
on organization of the Convention.
nu This is a usurpation of the exclusive
on prerogative of the Convention itself.
ur It is placing the delegates who may
a? not approve the policy and practices
he of the "Customhouse ring"at a disal
an vantage, and may rob the people of
re many of the parishes of their choice
a- of Representatives, by the State
we Committee proceeding on purely
s- ex-parte Statements to deolare who
rl are entitled to seats in the organiza
a- tion of the Convention.
b- From what we hear there is no
g! doubt that this conduct will meet
with emphatic repudiation, from the
men who will doubtless be excluded
from participation in the proceed
ings of the Convention; and thus
he we are in a fair way of splitting
in among ourselves to an extent that
er. forebodes a muddle which will tax
Sthe ability, the sagacity, the tact,
for aIKothe experienee of the best and
Ie wisest s(bang us to clear up in time

The nnflereas 2 0 employed I
to prevent republicalls from express- on'

larming usurpation of power on the hai
part of the present State Central rol
oommitt"e &omapl as to buqunirs
what is the matter ?Night before last i
the Afth Ward dub was hut out of i 1
its place of meeting being compelled pri
to hold their mneeting,ander the gas on
light on the side walk. A few ci
nights before by a highhanded pro- li
ceeding, a club was declared ad- the
journed by the voice of a ble a
minority and against the ex-pressed
wishes of the people in the 7th
Ward; and in stil another Ward p
the chairman refused to put any re
motion which, as he said, would be hi
against him.
Now who pays the fiddler for all we
this? This sort of work is not being
done without concert of action, be- of
cause in most instances the men th
who do it are those who are in close pa
alliance with the Customhouse.
Does the National Administration
think it well to retain men in im- VE
portant positions in our State,whose of
1 sole purpose seems to be to sacrifice p
the republican party to their ambi- B
tion for place? Does Gen. Grant
know that the State Central Com
mittee of whiff the United States
Marshall is chairman,has committed r
' the unparalelled'outrage of demand
Sing that as soon as a person is elect
ed to the Convention of the 9th
inust, he must send his credentials
to the United States Marshall? Can
Gen. Grant beleive that up to the u
fifth of the month the United States b
Mn arshall has refused to designate a
It place of meeting for the delegates, n
or an hour for the convention to g
n assemble? Does Seretary Bout- c
well know that the Custom House -
is secretly designated as the place
e where one hundred deputy Mar- l
e shalls under the shadow of United l
d States authority are to prevent the
legally elected voters from assem
bling,should they have failed to send
their credentials to the United f
States Marshall ?
If these things are not known,
th they should be known and pondered e
at Washington, for we will not sub
r. mit to any such proceeding here.
In the light of these facts, we see
an inevitable split in the Republi
can party in this State which will
cause it to be lost for Gen. Grant
at in 1872. We appe.al to those in
at authority to awaken their servants i
le here to a full appreciation of the I
dangei the Republican party is in- I
cursing, and either afop the Federal
pfficers here in their mad career of
usurpation, or send us such men as
will be satisfied with the lucrative
d positions of the Federal Govern
me ment, and who will leave to the
State its legitimate right of send
ing delegates to a place designated
on a day and hour niamed, with
Stheir credentials in their pockets to
d- be presented to tihe CovenGion as
sembled, and not to the U. S. Mar
shal.
ye DOES GRANT KNOW IT'L
We have this statement from the
a best authority: Mr. Morse, the ar
l-chitect in charge of repairs at the
of Customhouse, has conscientious
icesruples. When men applied to
Ite him for work, he took especial pains
ly before employing them, to macer
ho tain if they were competent to per
,a form the labor they engaged to.
By this means he secured first rate
no mechanics; but among them some
3et poor politicians. This did not suit
heI the views of Casey, Packard & Co.,
ed and they remonstrated; but Mr"
d, Morse proved obdurate and con
s tinued to discharge his responsibili
g ties in the good oldfashioned way.
t Collector Casey went to Wash
aington, and the result is a letter
ct, sent through Deputy Herwig, ad.

The onU of Arthur Guerin
leaves little doubt of the fact that a
few short hours will close a career E
perhaps the most remarkable of the a
many noted characters who hamve ome
prominently.ito pu*is o ion
mthis eit.He i abot; ft0
age, a ative of New Or inde
son of Creole reta. Even in hi
youth he wars- *d or rkfo
es lawlesness. or -ii
When the political commotions of
1853 broke out, he fell into associa
tion with notorious men, who be- e
came a power in the land. Banded 4
together and armed to the teeth, they
paraded the streets at night, arrying P
terror and violence t sough the com- a
munity. In the excitements and bit
ter hostlities of that period many
men were killed, left dead in the a
street, shot in their doorways, and c
many more were butchered at the
polls.
In these conflicts of hostile po- t
wpinion the name of Arthur
Guerin ngured with conspinous promi
aney, and although small in stature1 r
and comparatively young in years,
his violent character made him an
object of widespread notoriety. It I
may be that many deeds were as- t
cribed to him that he never did; but t
it is eprtain that he did enough to t
win a most evil reputation. Belong
ing to a society known as the Red
Warriors, which from its name im
plied disguise, he was active as a po
litical partisan, anad he and his associ
ates, under the shelter of this inoog- 1
nito, became more dreaded than as
vigianee committee. 1
It is understood thpt he was before
the criminal courtof thiscity but three
times on a charge of murder. The
first was for the alleged homocide of a
Greek on Victory street, some years
sine--the next for the killing of Ed
ward Forrest, in the French Market,
in 1868; and the third time for the 4
murder of David Hennessy, the 26th
of February, 1889, in a saloon in Court I
Alley, between Royal ond Chartres 1
streets. He was acquitted of these ho
micides; but it had no influence in
qualifying the lawless character of his
career. He subsequently engaged in
a shooting affray with Shang Melaugh
lin, on St Charles street, and after
ward with a waiter in Dumontiel,s res
taurant.
Judging of the qualities of the man
by these diflfculties, which had follow
ed him in almost uninterrupted sce
cession from his youth upward, men
regarded him with dread. It was this
- impression, so deeply imbedded in the
- the public mind, that could scarcely
' have given to Arthur Guerin a fair
n chance in any difficulty hemight have.
People watched him as they would a
- hawk, and waite4 for the first demon
i ftration of hostility to sacrifice his
e life.
I- In his family circle-he is the on
i- ly son of an aged mother-he is
. said to be kindly, generous and
't thoughtful, devoting to this sole
remaining parent the most filial at
tention and constant care. There
was a sort of chivalris desire mani
e0 feat in his qomestid life to atone by
,d devotion to his mother, the dis
Is tresses his !lawless career had cost
Af her. To his intimate friends he
r- maintained a sort of protecting af
! fection; while reserving to himself
'e the exclusive privilege of abusing
them,he allowed the right to no
noneelse. Of late years he had
a grown exceedingly intemperate,
-and while under the influnence of
liquor, was quick to take offence
Sand treacheroue and vindicative in
' his anianoitiss.
It is said that his immediate
; quarrel with Mr. Houston origina
Sted in an imaginery offence some
weeks ago; and about two weeks
;since he went into the cripiinal
court room, and drawing a revolver
, .put it at Houston's breast esayinhg
"I have a great notion to kill you."
Houston replied, "Put that lis
tol up, or Ill kill you," lookmSg
ehim the while steadily in the eye,
- It was this avowed hostility that
ry had pat Mr. 'Houston on his guard
e and made him so qaick in his shoot
Ul ing Thursday.
s- When remvedto his residence
, Guaerin is reported to have said, '"I
. went there to kill him, but he was
Stoo quick for me."
This may be idle rumor, but it
: has at least the maotion ofin
L credibility.
Of themerite of the diflicultyin
which he has probably reosived his
c-fatal wound, it would here be im
, propertospeak. It willsuffieto
say, beflre the dawn of another day
the soul of Arthur Guerin will have
passed to iti pount.-Evtening

ians, Indians and Asiatic, Selaves
and Italians-people of all iation- t
alities unite nuder the agis of our
Sag, vastly heterogeneo m under
our reedom for individual develop- c
meat, but swiftly acquiring a mess-,
ure of homogeneity by reason of
liberalizing intercourse. These
national diversities are supplement
ed by local divesities, and thsoe I
again are varied by the perfect op
portunity for individual action, and
so everywhere we see diffusion and i
unity, the struggle and friction of't
elements that by nature o1pose and
contend, and yet by law and nation
al pressure are abraded into cer- 1
tain unities of purpose.
All these contrasted and contend
ing features in our gommunities
produce throughout the country a
picturesque turbulence that recalls
the commotion of Rome, Canstan
tinople, or Alexandria. The poli
tical liberty which brings all sorts
of people from foreign shores is at
tended by that social liberty which
gives license to all sorts of indivi
dual.caprice, and as a result we
have a life full of contrast, activity,
and collision-a life exuberant,
lord, and expansive, which,rapidly
losing all claim to high reanemeut,
compensates for this by its lustiness,
its courage, and its achievements.
In all our great cities these elements
are notably, conspicuous; but in
New Orleans, San Francisco, Chi
cago, and New York, the kaleido
scope is more rapidly shifting, and
the supreme bustle of pleasure and
business more striking. New York
especially seems in a perpetual Blut
ter of exhuberant life. There are
eeaselessly outburts of the elements
that make up its population, con
stantly the loudest demonstration
of different organizations, nationali
ties, or modes of thought, while in
pleasure as well as in business we
are fairly stunned with the excess
of confused asotivity. The Germans
flaunt their banners and utter their
peus of triumph to-day; the Irish
p fill our streets with rude pageantries
r to-morrow; St George and St.
Nicholas have their festive honors,
a and all peoples in some form exprelIt.
their national feelings. The great men
a of other countries are more honored
by statues and busts than those of our
own; the drama and opera of every
tongue have representatives; the
sports of all climes are reproduced
e in our pleasure-grounds; and, in our
own individual way, we break out.
e into clamorous conviviality. How
extravagantly we dine and lavishly
we drink, the hotels bear witness;
what bustle and excitement of plea
t sre we delight in, Long Branch
e and the sea-shores give evidence.
A certain emphasis in our enjoy
Sments is one of our developing
g characteristics. Go to the wharves
