Our subscribers will confer a favor
qpon us by reporting at this office every
lltlure In the delivery to their address
fo the DiMOCRAT, as we are particularly
dlsirous of achieving absolute exacti
tude and punctuality.
In our news columns we publish a dis
patch to the Chicago ittnes, stating that
a member of Hayes' Cabinet was credited
with the theory that all the trouble in
Louisiana comes from the fact that a
portion of the people of the State are of
the Latin race, and therefore not in
' sympathy with the political methods
fwd ideas of the rest of the American
people. The Timuu', commenting edi
torially on the absurd hypothesis, says:
With all due deference to the member
of the Oablnet the T'ismes begs to stg
get that the Latin race has nothing to
do with the matter. It isn't a lae
question et all. It's thieves. Durell
wasn't a Latin race, so far as beard
from. Neither was Kellogg nor Wells.
And Packard's Latinity isn't half so
deserving of hanging as his rascality.
When the carpet-i)ag brigands are
eradicated the Latin race will not trouble
Louisiana.
In its article yesterday morning, be
wailing its failure to secure the public
printing, the I'ica.oite says:
The I)IMOCRAT avers that "the Leglslature
paever intended that the uubltl prinnUtu ýhould
ge ýawardid to the lo.i.,slt bidder.' aundl It I very
p.wslble that the DEMtwRAT spDeak by the a nr:
b ut it is true that other jou-natn wore invited to
tamtt tproP:its, and thie Inferenee is that the
D5rt.RAlT was underbidden.
The Printing bill under which the
DlmoorAT was awarded the printing
does not provide for bids. The bill fixes
the rates of different classes of print
lag, and directs the Board to contract
with a responsible party at rates not
higher than those mentioned. The
members of the Board satisfied them
selves by inquiry that the prices in the
bill were just and fair; that they insured
4Q.ly a moderate profit. The Board
invited no bids under the bill;
S one were made, and the Deu
ocRT was not underbidden. The
lhuocasT was awarded the con
tract because the Board, knowing the
fates to be fair, believed that the DEMO
eRAT deserved the contract.
For weeks past the country has been
in a state of apprehension and uncer
tainty. No one, not even those highest
a In position, know positively anything of
the future. The situation teems with
conjecture, but there seems to be not one
certainty in it. The President and his
Cabinet evidently have no fixed pur
pose, and yet every member of Congress,
every newspaper and every politician
in the U-on --is-trying to work out the
problem that is involved in this curious
and extraordinary situation.
The people are told that a written
agreement exists under which Southern
representatives permitted the count
under the electoral bill to go on, and by
which Mr. Hayes and his friends were
bound on his inauguration to withdraw
the Federal troops from the support of
Chamberlain and Packard. A remarka
ble mystery has surrounded this agree
ment. No one connected with it feels
.uthorized to make it public, and yet it
is a matter in which every man, woman
and child in the Union is deeply con
serned. Mr. Charles Foster and Mr.
John Young Brown have made state
ments in relation to that agreement,
i .d some vague and indefinite letters
have been printed purporting to be the
substance of the contract. It is pretty
certain, however, that what hat' been
to the public was only prolimi
' rto the final agreement.
T This agreement should be made pub
Solie, without further delay. Its publica
gO. will quiet, in a measure, the
country, and show to what extent Mr.
Hayes pledged himself to a policy of
amtiac to Louisiana and South Caro
i n, and to what extent he has violated
ledge or the pledges of his repre
y frbydelS.. We have no idea
iso anytri dlgboearle in
' ad iial. pblcs
The Pioayutte has not yet roovereod
from the blow it received in its failure
to secure the State printing. Three
days have elapsed since the contract for
that work was awarded to another pa
per, and we have given it a severe but
just castigation for its violent temper
and impertinence; and yet it continues
to scold, and fume, and fuss like a
virago. It has evidently, since the
opening of the canvass to the present
time, been possessed with the idea that
the whole policy of reform con
sisted in the i'icaluflc obtaining
the State printing. It has failed
to get that printing; there were not
a dozen members of both branches of
the Legislature who desired that it
should get it, and in a printing board
composed of the Governor, the
Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker of
the House, two Senators and two Itep
resentatives, it did not receive a single
vote. This being the case, the cause of
reform, in the opinion of that great and
disinterested journal, is a dead failure.
The cause for which we have all strug
gled for eight years is lost; the inter
ests of eight hundred thousand people;
the cause of civilisation and Christianity,
have all been sacrificed, foully betrayed,
according to the )'lcaiynne, in the defeat
of its proprietors for the office of State
Printer.
This is sad from the Pl'canoie's stand
point, but we do not see how it is to be
remedied. We fear the P'icayune must
stand it, and we promise it that the
people will be able to do so.
The distressing part of the business is
the bad temper, bad breeding and weak
intelligence our contemporary has ex
hibited over its defeat. In a column
and a half of the most pitiful spiteful
ness and imbecility it has ever been our
lot to poeruse in a respectable journal,
the I'i+r'arune, forgetting all sense of
propriety or decency, yesterday morn
ing essayed to represent to the public
that the DEMOCHAT was "a perishing
enterprise, an "unsuccessful newspa
per." "Thle DEtuoCrAT, however," saidt
the I'ieayune, with an indecent dis
regard of common courtesy, and a
grossly immoral disregard of the truth,
"is a monumental refutation of the
proverb, 'Nothing succeeds like suc
cess,' for its very failure was the
occasion of its reward. 'Give it to the
DEMOCRAT; it can't live without it, and
we must have an organ.'"
After other observations of a similar
character, it is alleged by the I'icayune
that the DEMOCnAT has no circulation,
and that the laws might as well be pub
lished in Choctaw or Coptic as in its
columns supported by the bounty of a
State Board of Printing,
There is very little to be said In re
sponse to this sort of insolence, and we
shall not waste much time on it. The
assertions of the Picayune in relation to
the DEMOCRAT are simply wild and Irre
sponsible statements. It knows nothing
of our business nor of our circula
tion, and therefore, in both in
stances, it has spoken an un
truth. It uttered an untruth when
it charged that the DEMOCRAT was a
famishing enterprise, an unsuccessful
newspaper, and dependent upon the
bounty of a State Board of Printing;
and it uttered an untruth when it
attempted to underrate the circulation
of the DEMOCRAT. Upon what authori
ty, indeed, does the Picayune so imper
tinently venture to discuss our private
business affairs in its columns ? It has
not been the custom heretofore among
gentlemen in their controversies to drag
such subjects into their discussions. Up
starts, vulgarians, with more money
than brains or manners, resort to this
rude and silly method of argument,
and it only serves to make , them
ridiculous and contemptible. To
the public we will say that the pub
lication of the DEMOCRAT did not
depend upon its receiving the State
printing. If the Board, in the exercise
of its judgment, had given the contract
to another paper, the publication of the
DEMOCRAT would have continued, for, so
far from being a famishing journal, it
had reached that stage in the for
tunes of a ygung and vigorous jour
nal at which, without being profitable
to its proprietors, it was self-sustain
ing. As to its circulation, perhaps
no persons in the State knew better
than several members of the Printing
Board, who canvassed the State in the
last campaign, that the New Orleans
DE-vocaT circulates in every parish,
and that in several large sec
tions of Louisiana it is the only New
Orleans paper that circulates at all.
The Picayune, having exhausted its
genius for attack and invective by charg
ing that the DEMOCRAT was a famishing
enterprise and without circulation,
turns to a pathetic and extraordinary
defense of itself against the crushing
indictment we preferred against it
Ihursday morning. It affirms that it
is an old paper; it concedes that it has
been, in times past, guilty of bad
practices, but offers to reform, and,
finally, indignantly denies that Mr.
Howard has any claims to its proprie
It is a matter of little concern to us
whether Mr. Howard has any claim on
the Picayune or not. The point we
made was, that the title of the paper
was in litigation, and that it was impos
sible for any one to predict in whose
favor the judgment of the court would
be rendered. The suit is a matter of
public notoriety; it has been discussed
in the newspapers, and the complica
tions in the Picayune's affairs which
gave rise to it really originated in the
controversies, quarrels and combina
tions of men, good and bad, who have
attempted to swaythisState. It would,
tin our opinion, have been quite impru
ln the prt of the Pintitan Berd I
institutiont ths situiated and with ao
Soertsin ownership.
The l'Icrllne has been so long ad
dioted to flopping and to the other bad
practices to which we referred Thurs
day,.that the public are justifiable in not
being over trustful of its promises to
reform. It tells us it hras grown old;
p indeed, that it is In lts fortieth
6 year. That is very old for a
newspaper, we admit. ulit, after
all, old age cannot make vice, gar
rulous imbecility, bad manners and
bad temper respectable, nor can youth
and vigor detract from the considera
tion and respect which are due to honor
and patriotism. The I'icutmuoe Is old, it
is true, but It, seems to have had in
crease neither of wisdom nor virtue.
Indeed, from its recent conduct, it
seems that its vices, its garrulousness
and,bad temper have waxed in violence
and sapped its vigor as it has advanced
in years.
The i'inra!rn', In this discussion, has
boasted loudly of the valiant work it
did in the last and previous canvasses;
and yet, before the smoke of the battle
has rolled away, nay, before the fight
has been completely won, we find it
quarreling and growling river the
spoils. It reminds us of Thenard the
camp-follower, in " Len Miserables,"
who hung on the roar of the army to
plunder the battle fields, and, when the
war was over set up an inn, which he
dubbed the Inn of the Hero of Water
loo, where he boasted to his credu
lolls customers of the valiant deeds he
had done on stricken fieolds.
C(ONFI,'('TL.1 TIIEI)IlIiE OF lOtVERN.
MEN r.
We hope that, pending the arrival in
this city of Mr. Hlayes' I1gh Commis.
lioners, we shall not hear any more of
the senseless talk which has heretofore
been indulged in by thou htless people
about a "Returning Bo 4rut quorum" of
the Legslelature. Such talk is simply
nonsensical, having no foundation
either in reason or in law. We can un
derstand that the leaders of the Radical
party In this State should continually
harp upon the findings of the Return
ing Board ; their object is to mislead the
people of the country into the belief
that that body possesses unlimited
jurisdiction in the matter of counting
the votes and declaring the result or all
general elections, and in this aim they
have certainly succeeded to a great ex
tent.
During the sixteen years In which the
Radical party has hold sway over the
Union there has been witnessed such a
perversion of the letter and spirit of
' constitutions and laws, that the funda.
mental principles of Republican rep
resentative government have almost
been lost sight of; at any rate, they
are practically ignored to such an
extent that the public mind of
the North receives, without that
shock which would have been oc
casioned by the mere suggestion at the
time when Democratic teachings and
doctrines prevailed, the unrepubilcan
Idea that the organization of the Legis
lature of a sovereign State may be con
trolled by a board of canvassing officers
who are the mere creatures of a pre
vious Legislature. The people of the
Southern States have a much clearer
conception of the true character of re
publican institutions, and of the real
sources and nature of the powers vested
in legislative bodies, and of the powers
which these may confer upon public
officers, than the Northern people. The
bitter experience of the last twelve
years, the constant shameless violation
of what instinct and a natural sense of
right and justice led, them to consider
as the Inalienable privileges of free
men, has driven them to a careful study
of the Federal constitution and of the
constitutions of their respective States,
to which they felt they must cling as
the only anchor of safety within their
reach. Circumstances have given them
a clearer knowledge of the theory and
practice of constitutional government
than is possessed by the people of
any other part of the Union. The
most superficial observer would be
impressed by this fact from a
mere casual perusal of the political
journals of the North and South. Ho
would notice at once to what an extent
the teachings of the early apostles of
Radicalism, like Sumner, and Greeley,
and Seward, the founders of the "high
er-law" party, have bred in the North a
contempt for the forms of the Federal
constitution-without a strict observ
ance of which the National Republic
cannot possibly exist in its integrity
and a persistent disregard of the re
straints and limitations imposed by
that constitution upon the exercise of
Federal jurisdiction over State affairs.
The great majority of the people of
that part of the country, even of the
most intelligent classes, are controlled
in their views and discussions of politi
cal questions, not by the law governing
I any particular case, but by sentiment,
that is to say, by their individual no
tions of what the law ought to be. In
deed, it is a common remark among
them that the war abolished the consti
tution and made of the Federal Union
1 a nation every portion of which is sub
ject to the almost unlimited jurisdiction
and control of the central government.
STh3 people of the South, on the con
trary, abhor and reject every principle
Sof government which tends to the con
tralization of power in the hands of the
Federal authorities. They regard the
- written constitutions of the Union and
1 the several States as the source of all
• governmental power. In this they fol
- low in the footsteps and obey the teach
. ings of the founders of the American
R1 epublic, who knew full well that the
- Union of the States ,ooald not be ma.t
1 ania.i without premrvIm ta m
they know that in the atrioot ber oa.
of the limitations of the Federal con
stitution lieu their only hope of escaping
molestation and oppression on the part
of the dominant seotion of the country,
incited do hostility.and prejudice against
them by the bitter memories of the late
war.
This being the case, and more partic
ularly in Louisiana than in any other
State, we are naturally surprised that
any Louselanian with the least claim to
intelligence should be guilty, in dis
cussing the composition of our Legisla
ture, of so gross a solecism as to speak
of a "Returning Board quorum." Under
the constitution of the State the RIe
turning Board has no more jurisdiction
or control over the Legislaturqthan has
the Emperor of China. EaRch house of
the Legislature is the solo judge of the
qualilloations, returns and election of
its members: the Legislature conslets
of the persons actually elected to the
two branches thereof, and a "constitu
tional quorum" consists of a majority
of the members so elected.
The I'icnalune tells us and the public,
in a column and a half editorial, that it
has abandoned the wilkedness of its
formter ways, and the wind blowing
toward reform, it has reformed. That
is just what oe said, wherever the wind
will blow, thlere will the I'icavune go.
That is what may be called a straw
paper which Is very useful in its way.
As a weathercock the I'icayul is cer
tainly a success.
