TIE OOKIMOIRATION.
Yesterday was a day long to be re
membered in the history of Louisiana.
It seemed as if not only man but nature
was celebrating the glorious anniver.
Mary of the memorable 14th of Septem
kar, 1874. A n the first day of our de
liveranoe, yee rday the sun rose bright
and clear, while in the northern and
western horison clouds loomed up at
sunrise and gathered later In the day,
tillat l o'olook a light shower descended.
On the 14th of September, in 1874,
hardly had the rattle of musketry and
the roar of cannon died away, before
a beautiful rainbow appeared in the
east like a promise of deliverance,
marked by the hand of Divinity.
Yesterday the rainbow was not re.
peated, but the soene of an entire peo
pWl happlness was so gloriously
bright, the countenanoes of our men so
Jeaous, and our women so beautiful,
that not even a rainbow could have
added to its brightness.
In 1874 the measured tread of armed
men, as company after company
arhroked down our nearly deserted
strets, sounded like a solemn, muffled
echo of the tread of the regiments that
went forth long ago to battle for their
homes and for the right. The old time
owing was in their step, and in the
platoons were many of the old time
thas that smiled then as they laughed
and emied when charging up the moun
taln sides, or sweeping across smoky
plains, they courted death.
In 1874, as the companies marched by
there were seen many resolute and des
p*.te faces of men who felt that the
struggle that they were then entering
wasonly the preliminary skirmish of a
prolonged fight against tyranny in its
various forms, from a continued and
sentemptuous satrapy to a despotlc cen
tralism whioh chose this State for a
province upon which to visit the vin.
d4otUe consequen.es of its wrath.
Yesterday all was changed save that
same old steady tramp of the citlzen
soldiery. The columns swept by as
grandly and regularly as they did six
oen yease ago, steadily as they marched
in the final review of 3anuary 9, 1877,
when before their fronts the last vestige
at a tyranny that had desolated fair
Louisiana for ten years, melted as the
teal fogs and vapors melt and disappear
before the coming of a storm.
Louisiana has been freed. Her new
born freedom shone yesterday in the
asoo of her brave men and fair women.
Yhe only cloud to dim the lustre of yes
tRday's glorious anniversary was the
mourning for the memory of her mar
tyred sons. The wreaths of Immortelles
that entwined their tombs yesterday
were fitting tributes to their bravery.
In future yearm a marble column should
be planted to mark the spot where they
tell; but in the coming ages their
saames, outlasting the monumental I
aarble, should live on,

Tweed saeam at last to have found a pur
dhaser for his memoranda and remlnisennuow
af ring rule and plun.er In New York. It
will be remembered that he offered his con
tweln some time ago to theo Attorne Gene
ral of the State in exchange fe, ,
bat after reading it over that ed
that It was not worth the price and
t burly Bo.s was not released. In
this negotation, Tweed ofered hls'Mare4 it
s said to John Kelly, of Tammany fhae,
and he it was that instigated the pending Al
urrmanle investigation. So far the disclosures
have not been starting, and it is.quite likely
tat the developments that shall be drawn
mat will be nothing more than what was set
bath in the conlesslon which was deelinod
by the Attorney General, but slightly
danged to re..apt them to the purposes of
the purchasers, who have doubtless agreed to
hi terms in case of their sucoes~ at the com
lag election.
Negotiations have been pending, so the
taurt goselps say, for some time looking to
the marriage of the young Prince imperial,
Louis Bonaparte, and the Infants of Spain.
It Is also stated that Alfoeso, of Spain, is to
mspouse his cousin, the third daughter of the
Duke de Montpensler, whose eldest sister is
the wife of the Count of Paris. It will be a
queer turn of the wheel of fortune if the
JPriee Imperial and the Count of Paris should
both become brothers-in-law of the Spanish
1ourbon.
We regret to notice in the Shreveport
2tes the annousnoement of the demise

pubtlo spirited citizen of Shreveport.
e death of Mjor Elstner is a serious

PLEIYA.
The fierce confliot now raging among
the adjacent fortifications of Plevna is
pregnant with import to the whole civil
lsed world.
For several days the enormous forces
of the Grand Duke Nicholas, directed
by a combination of all the military
talent of Russia, fromn the Imperial
eommander-lto-hlef of all her armies,
to the most dashing and brave brigadier
in her service, have been hurled against
this devoted town and its gallant defend
ers, An army of one hundred and fifty
thousand men, with nearly five hundred
pieces of field artillery and siege guns,
have been for a week charging and bat
tering the redoubts and breastwores,
which, as they are, seem to be the keys
to the arch that supports the Ottoman
empire.
The garrison of Plevna, numbering
hardly more than one-half the force of
its powerful assailant Is apparently
making a wonderful defense of this most
important position. Though, as the
telegraph informs us, some of the prin.
olpal redoubts of the place have been
carried by storm, still the comparative
attitude of the two opposing forces has
been little changed since the fighting
began. The Russians have gained the
redoubts at an enormous saorifice of
men. In several assaults they have lost
at least five thousand men in killed and
wounded at each attack. The Turks,
covered by breastworks, and fighting
generally on the defensive, have suf
fered comparatively little in men,
though they have apparently lost as
much in position as the Russians have
in force.
Thus, as far as the great battles of
Plevna have gone they have neither
resulted in a BRussian victory nor a Turk.
ish defeat. If actual defeat is on either
side it seems to be with the Bussians,.
After ample preparations, having
brought an overwhelming force against
the place, and evidently hoping to
carry it aby storm, they have been
checked in every onslaught, have
gained only a few of the outworks, and
are now compelled to resort to the slow
and tedious process of a siege, if our
dispatches may be credited.
This prospective siege is likely to re
suit ultimately in favor of the Russians.
The Grand Duke is apparently trying
the same tactics against Osman Pasha
that Grant employed against Lee at
Petersburg. With an army that can be
recruited faster than the Turks can de.
stroy its men, the siege can be kept out
till the weaker force is worn out by at,
tritlon. If Suleiman Pasha or Mehemet
All could reinforce the beleaguered
Turkish General a different story might
be told. But they are of as much as.
sistance to Osman Pasha as Dick Tay
lor and Joe Johnston were to Lee.
Thus the Indications are that Plevna
will fall, and the Russians win a victory
which will enable them to turn their
army before Plevna on the other two
Turkish armies and thus decide the war.
The consequences of such a result would
be startling. Should the main Turkish
army at Plevna be annihilated as con
templated by the Ruasians, then it
would seem that Adrianople and Con
stantinople would be open to the in
vader, unless other powers should in
tervene.
With some satisfactory settlement of
the government of the northwestern
provinces of Turkey, Austria would evi
dently be satisfied whatsoever disposi
tion should be made of the conquered
Ottoman Empire. Prussia has already
evinced a marked disposition to neglect
the matter of Russian aggrandizement
if not a manifest hope that the Czar's
power should be extended. Italy only
concerns herself about the Adriatic
provinces, and England remains the
only deeply interested power in the
matter.
Undoubtedly, with her vast posses
sions involving the vital interests of the
home government, it might almost be
said that at present she controls the
destinies of the civilized world. With
another great power, less civilized, less
interested in the interests of other na
tions, and less sympathetic with all
matters pertaining to their advance
ment, replacing her in the first position
in all the world, these other nations
naturally would suffer from some radi
oal changes.
The first step to Russia's becoming
the actual controlling nation among all
other nations on earth would be the
complete subjugation of Turkey and
the ultimate consequent subversion of
Southwestern Asia. With this step
gained the end of Russian aggrandize
ment cannot be foreseen. A decisive
vietory at Plevna would contribute
much toward Russian %lggrandizement,
hence we say the present battles of
Plevna are of vast import to the civil
ised world.
We had the pleasure yesterday of
greeting in our office Mr. E. H.
Morgan, one of the editors of the Bos
ton Herald. Mr. Morgan is a native of
New Orleans, and we are happy to wel
come him back to our midst. We par
ticularly congratulate him in that he is
connected with one of the most suc
cessful papers in the United States.
The following characteristic anecdote of
old Jerry Black Is told by Don Platt in the
(hpital.
There is a grim humor in the honorable and
venerated Jeremiah Blaek that kills. That rail
road aristocrat. Tom Scott. having elaborated
an essay on the late railroad strikes in which
he advocates an increase of the standing army
as a remedy. Judge Black, with one thrust of
his pen, pins the bird of prey to the barn-door
of public contempt. He riIggests that as a
standing army for such purpoie is unconstitu
tional, and in deadly antagonisn. to our tradi
tions and principles, to say nothing of the cost,
it would be better for the government to pay
the laborers on the railroads, and let the offi
cials take the Proflt. lt Scott.
