If any doubt exii;ted of the d'e
termination of the (Cutri , ulIn to
clique to "rule or ruin', it mu:;t. now
be dispelled. Defeated at all f,,u."t
in their efforts to make the Repub
Yican party ,repudiate its chosen if
leaders, they boldlty offer to sel! out
to the common enemy. Their 2
greed of office is such that to oust n
Governor Waimoth from power,
and thus secure a brief control of r'
the Executive patronage, Dunn, It
Carter & Co. willingly ignore their r
superhteated pledges of fidelity to
Grant's fortunes and attempt to 0
barter the State to the Democrats 2
in 1872 in return for Democratic
assistance in impeaching our Chief a
Executive.
The ablest and most consistent
Democratic journal in Louisiana
has this to say on the subject, in an
article headed "The Conditions of
an Alliance:"
The plane of the leaders of the two faec
tionu of the Republican party in this State,
with a view to the approaching general
elections, are beginning to develop them
t: selves. So far, there does not appear to
be any disposition on the part of these fac
tions to reconcile their differences. On
the contrary, the Dunnites swear that War
moth must be driven from power, even it
to effect it they shall bn forced to give the
State tb the Democracy. We are inform
ed, indeed, that a prominent member of
the Dunn party, in an interview with a
1l prominent Democrat, said that if the De
mocracy would unite with the Dunnites to
t impeach Warmoth, they might dictate al
it most their own termis with regard to the
next administration of the State Govern
ment. Such an offer certainly would not
be made if the Dunites felt themselves
able, single-handed, tc, cop,, with War
: moth, and the inference is a fair one, that
his impeachment would fail nnless the
Democracy were to o-operate in the mess
)f ure.
The Bee proceeds to state upon
,r what terms only, the Democrats
can league with the bolters which
are virtually to repeal every law
that has been pas1sed to secure im
t partial justice to all classes-and
closes with the very sound reflec
. tion that those men are too willing
to betray their own party to be safe
ly trusted by any other.
While we sincerely deplore that
"e any man or men with whom we
, have had political affiliations should
11 be guilty of such base apostacy, we
d can yet find cause for congratula
0 tion in the fact that their case is so
i desperate as to force a "showing of
h1ands" at this early day. Not only
Louisiana Republicans but the
SN:t,;onal Government, are thus fur
Iis~hed with the means of judging
t the byonet Convetntionists accord
in ing to their deserts.
I "STRUCK HER WITII A CANE.'"
The members of the City Coun
,I Ifwt on Friday last in the May
Sor's parlor, and lib;tenel to the ac
, cusations of a femiale inmate of the
work-house against Mr. Michael
in Bowen, warden of that Institution.
- The result was that Mr. Bowen was
,eO removed from office and Mr. Buck
a- Iyc installed instead.
lv Mr. Bowen is dissatisffed of course,
k and has rushed into print, and
n;l pours out in deprecatory, denunci
atory, and expository - tyle the bur
k den of his song, through the col
ht urns of the Time.. He admits how
u ever that on one occasion the cornm
n plainant disobeyed his orders and
ot he struck her with a small cane and
ur pushed her up stairs. There is no
.si harm, nor offence in striking peo
ple and pushing them, oh no ! Are
they not in the work-house?
Efforts are making te attribute
the prompt action of the City Ad
i- ministrators to interested motives.
mi From our standpoint it seems that
th the keeper of any institution who

on even in the face of provocation, is
of unworthy of being in charge of peo

HOW IT STANDS. {I
The truth as regards the presen
tation of the Waterworks billto the ol
Governor, is this: The bill was sent I
i,) the Executive residence at a late si
hens on May 125$th and r eepted to
for as "a package," by a melbbli of ti
the household. On Monday, the tf
27th, parties interested in the job 1
notified the Governor of this fact, ft
when he told them they had better i
recover the bill and procurea regu- -1
lar receipt, which they promptly did, e
returping the receipt first obtained. I
Thus the bill was really in the hands b
of the Governor only during the a
27th, 28th, 1st and 2nd, on which C
latter designated day, the Assembly n
f adjourned. But, granting that the a
service at the Governor's house on c
t the night of the 25th was legal, it it
I does not help the matter for Mr. Bo- fj
vee anti his backers in the least. a
f Admit that Sunday, the 26th, can v
legally be counted as included with- t
in the constitutional limitation, and 4
, yet the five days allowed by law for
the Governor to withhold the bill 1
0 had not expired when the Legisla- f
ture adjourned. By their own
showing, the bill was presented at ]
the Executive mansion on Saturday t
at forty-five minutes past eleven o'clock I
a P. M., and at about ten o'clock P. M. <
of the following Thursday the Leg
i islaturo was defunct by adjourn
e ment sine doi.
t Every, stag;e in the progress of
this outrage.ous sehieane of plunter
,t marked by trickery and cunning,
1e and the more it is investigated, the 1
more obn.uxiou) the light in which
a the manipulators must stand before
is the public. T'h position of the
h Goveruor, on the contrary, must
w win added confidence and respect
1- from all partics who have the real 1
d welfare of the community at heart.
We lament that Messrs. Dunn
g and Carter should have become im
e_ plieat'd in the affair by furnishing
what purported to be a certified
at copy of a hill the original of which
re the (Governor had publicly an
Id nounce.l his conviction he was law
re fully withholdling from publication.
so THE WATER-WORKS.
of
ly There is a momentary lull in the
storm raised over the city Water
Works. The two sets of new claim
ants are a. bay, anti the "City Fath
d- ers" have set a guard over ewvry
thing conaected with this grand
priz'.
Scretary Bovee is taking his sus
pension like a "little man," and the
n- incorporators in his improperly
-. promulngate Water-works Bill will
,e have to wait for the Ila-t,. Legisla
le ture,to, dcw lo whether tlhey shall
hel ha\e the r anchises conferred by the
n. Bill. The other set of incorpora
as tors are waitiug on the Council to
,k- pass "an ordmanuc," conferring the
control of the VWater-works on them;
se, and the Council is in perplexity
ad over the question..
a Of course all this wrangling
ur- springs from the interference of cer
l. tain powers with the designs of
w. these several corporations. The
,. Governor on the one hand refuses
ad to sign one bill for reasons which he
ad will submit to the next Legislature,
no and the Mayor on the other is em
b- barassing the passage of the new
., ordinance as much as possible. Both
oppositions are intended to leave
te the control of the Water Worksa in
- thell hands of the City Council. We
s. cannot now speak of the compari
at tire merits of the two new schemes,
ho but there is not the shadow of a
he doubt that for a city like New Or
n, leans, with an inexhaustible bupply
is of water all rouna us, with every
o- facility that "wit and wealth" can
n- command, there is not a worse,
Smore imperfectly watered city in the
ng Universe.The voice of complaint has
been loud and long, but it has been
unheeded, and the present miser
able drag-along system has been
perpetnated.
led There is need of reformation, re
mn- juenation and efficiency in the en
in tire department,and it is the recogni
tion of the needs and demands of
the the cityin this direction as well as the
ro- desire to enter in a profitable "spec,"
he that are urging these several effoirt
Ii- to obtain control of the Water
Wk- Works; and the Council may be
Ige assurd t:at if the present squabble
hie end in leaving them in possession
re- I of the Water Works, they must in
his order to retain such control, r.make
ib- such improvements, lay such pipes,
ice extend such branches, supply the
City with such a supply of water in

sion of Capt. R. L, Bradley and the
I taking of in xrtent pppers re g
f to the claim of te' dbeemsd- te n
Itformer in thegreat sugar fraudsof
> 1869. It seems that a mysterious
, fatality attabes to all persons pro- Zi
r minently engaged in prosecuting e
-this gigantic swindle'upon the gov- it
ernment. District Attorney A. B. Z
Long was found dead---spposed to
3 have committed suicide- while ex
a aning the ease in his private office. i
i Capt. F. W. Perkins, Mr. Long's 1a
y most confidential friend and one of
a chief Government witnesses in the
1 cases, wad found (another myster- e
t ions suicide) dead in his private of- e
- fice soon after; and a few weeks
subsequently the informer, Bradley, t
a was entrapped into a controversy
1- by two stranger, and stabbed to
a death. t
r Bradley's brother and executor,
U who is prosecuting the claim for in
5- former's fees, was knocked down by
n Collector Casey, in the presence of
It Marshal Packard and others, about
y ten days ago, for alluding to this
k mysterious affair in the sacred pre
1. cincts of the Customhouse, and now
I- the evidence upon which his case
L- mainly rests is strangely stolen from
his attorney's desk.
)f Here are a series of facts, in no
r way perhaps linked together, but 1
, uhich seem queerly enough to bear
e upon each other, in a way, that
l1 should arouse the police, to vigilance
e and insure the greatest scrutiwy,

41 bloody deaths.
n GRANT AND THE RING.
ig With unequalled unanimity, the
d Republican press of the country
h demands of President Grant the
a- Iremoval of the Gatlin gunners who
r- attempted to crush the right of as
n. sembly and free speech on the 9th
of August: The press speaks for
the Republican party, and must be
listened to. Not even General
he Grant, whom the American people
" "delight to honor," can safely turn
a- a deaf to this popular demand. To
u- fail ihhis duty to punish the men
Y- who have so outraged public de
id cency, and every American idea of
political liberty, would be to jeopar
LI- dize his hold upon the public heart;
3e -to shield .them from thelegiti
ly mate consequences of their acts
ill would be to sacrifice the respect
La- and confidence of those tried friends
all who elevated him to the highest of
e flee in the nation.
a- We do not expect undue haste
to and inconsiderate action. That
be time for full investigation of the
1; facts should be taken is right and
ity proper. But when the facts are
laid before the President, as they
g perhaps now have been by duly ac
cr- credited representatives of the Re
of publican party of Louisiana; we do
be expect prompt and emphatic repu
ie distion and dismissal from once of
he the men who are proven guilty of
Sthe. fratricidal attempt to destroy
- our party. The country awaits the
SPresident's action.

, 24,
Youriie aware that the politibes of
of thismuntry mdsrid-.dbetwmel bi
and absorbed in two great parties. re
This state of things 'is par6Utlar5ly
1 essential to the health and perpeta
ity of a1)einocraic government.:
De Togeville says one of the dan- C
gers of a Democrac is that unless tb
guarded, it tends towards, despot- to
ism. Agitation is essential to the S
life and health of a , republic, per- r
petual quiet to a dynasty. If the
Alps, piled in still sublimity, be the PP
emblem of despotism, ours is the tr
ever restless ocean, w lk girt
within the eternal laws of gravit- C
tion, is always pure, because never P1
still. Need you be inquiped of why '
you act with the Republican par
ty ? Why 1. any intelligent man a
of that school of politicial ethics ?
The light and spirit of the age in a'
whiclbwe, live present, tie fullest P
and clearest reply, to such interro
gatories. It is both of the nature '
and spirit of christian civilization
ito secure to every human being the
fullest liberty and the broadest pos
sible equality. Judge Taney more
than twenty years ago, said that if
the language employed ~p the De
claration of Independence should C
be used in a similar instruzmeait to
r day it would be understood to in
clude the whole human family. c
Such, indeed, are the principles
which underlie our national eris
Y tence; and it is certainly remarka- s
hble with what aimid indi erence e
Sand uqaq44n sentimentality white
men have always shrunk from a
cordial support of the legitimate in
ferences drawn from those admit
ted principles.
e Born since 1789, they have al
ways taken absolute right and com
e plete equality to mean white men
only. But much has been done to
redeem American socwty from its
abnormal condition. We have l
r much for which to be thankful, and
much more for which to hope. A
e party that shuts its eye to color in
the radministration of justice and
equity, certainly deserves and draws
to its supplort all intelligent and
virtuous minds.
Our bounden duty lies in giving
our undivided support to that party
which knows no man by his color
or condition, but all as citizens of a
common country, whose emolu- t
ments, duties, obligations and t
honors are disposed alike among
alL But we are surrounded by
many and adverse influences; and
our chief danger is the liability of
Sbeing divided. Guard with a jeal
ous eye' the influence brought to
dear upon us, and yield only to such
as bear onward in a straight and
direct line. A tortuous, swerving
Spolicy will prove our ruin. It is
said the Emperor Nicolap once re
Squested hisngineers to build him
a railroad from St. Petersbugh to
Moscow. They brought him a
, paper with the intended road for
iron horse and his train, marked
put- What did you make it crook
Sed for ? said the emperor. Why,
replied the engineers to reach that
Scity and to take in that community
and to include that manufaetaing
e interc..e. He took the paper and
tore it iin pie'es; on another, mark
a ed with his pencil a straight line
.between the two capitals, and said,
"Let everybody look out for him
self; build me that road." This
Sshould be our policy; with an eye
ajpgle to the general good, jealouse
ig ly guarding what we have gainel,
Smove forward to greater things in
a the future, and be careful to be firm
a- ly united, keeping in a straight line.
We are cautioned against those ho
me would lead us satray by diverting
is our minds from''h straight-forward
line of duty. "If any man shall say
ill unto yot, ro! here is Chrnst, or lo!
Sthere; believe it not" There are
many whose goodness we will not
doubt, but whose ability as leaders
n- and instructors we most seriously
ig question. Let me call your atten

[r. the day; it stands attheheadof

to being reminded of Andrew John- ,

promptings to suspicion and dis- t

Glittering generalities and spe- t
cious phrases are but decoys em
ployed by wnarplota and disorgan- g
izers. The unbridled ambition of
some men is to rule, and if they t
cannot lead, they will destroy. Let a
such know by our unanimity of I
action that they cannot find sup
, porters in us. With Tennessee, .
Virginia and Missouri before us,
we will not be led like lambs to the
slaughter. There is little danger t
e except in division. United we stand ,
and succeed. But we cannot close
e without calling your attention to
the avowed purpose of the Demo-i
cratic-Conservative party of thei
country. The Richmond [Va. 1
Whig says:
"The Conservatives of Virginia
can carry one-half at least of the
colored vote in the State. They
have allthe appliances-they pos
sess the intelligence and the prop
erty- and nothing is wanting but
the temper, the condescension, and
the industry. It is a reproach to
their sagacity and their patriotism.
too, if they fail to do what it is so
obviously their interest and their
- duty. If they do not use the col
ored vote, it will be used by their;
dnemies. Policy and patriotism
alike dictate that we shonld make a
strenuous effort to gain the confi
deuce and co-operation of the better
portion of the black population.
A We have the arguments of every
sort for success, 'Let every Con
d servative go to work and enlist as
many colored voters as he caxn
under his standard. The negroes
are a proud and aristocratic race,
anud they would greatly prefer aUi
alliance with white gentlemen to,
one with white blackguards. Kind
and considerate treatment of them
by gentlemen will go far to win
them. It will be . great good to
break up the solid negro vote. It
g will be good for the blacks and good
' for the whites, good, of course, for
the whole commonwealth."
We may henceforth congratulate
ourselves at the prospect of getting
into good company. It certainly
shows some signs of progress when
the Democratic representatives ih
congress on the 19th day of last
April sid: "We earnestly entreat
our fellow-citizens in all parts of
Sthe Union to spare no effort to
maintain peace and order, to care
fully protect the rights of every
citizen, to preserve kindly the rela
k- tions among all men, and to dis
countenance and discourage any
, violations of the rights of any por
t tion of the people secured under
t the constitution or any of its
ig amendments."
It caniot be supposed that any
k- sensible man is fooled by any of
ie this. ' can see the purpose and
will not allow ourselves to be
Sdivided. While we compliment our
Sfriends for the hopeful signs of
e progress, we remember the senti
Sment of Henry. Clsy-"United re

fectly safe and sensible to estimate
that the white vote polled for our
party two years ago, under such
trying and , unfavorable circum

the coming elections, while the
black vote will likewise be greatly
increased throughout the whole
state. In Bexar county the white
Republican vote will not fall short
of 1,200, and in at least a dozen
other counties in the west it will
run up to 400 or 600 while the en

W')Some of the sorehead country
Lpapers,taking their cue from the late
- Evening Bdlduen, are pitching into
Governor Warmoth for his alleged
'abuse. of the Methodist Church
while raking down Speaker Carter
at the Turner Hall Convention. It
o is a cold trail, gentleme,. There is
d not a member of that persuasion
who does not know the diftrence
between the Methodist Church
South, to which the Governor allud
i ed, and that division to which our
'e people so numerously belong. 3Ir
Carter's church supported slave.y
and secession, and still refuses cor
mnution with, or recognition of,
colored Methodists. And "that's
what's the matter."
