From the Seat Of War.

We are, at the present writing, in re-
ceipt of Thursday papers from New
Orleans. They contain "No l9l" from
the grand Mogul Of Niggerdom and
Reconstruction, who though only for a
few brief hours, welding the sceptre Of
despotism, has all the we'll marked
isms of his party on the brain. The
same old reasons are assigned, standing
on the track to impede or stop Thad.
Stevens, Reconstruction car. Although
candor is presumed to be a soldierly
quality, still Gen. Mower don't seem to
have any use for it. He wants the Off
ces for his friends. The embodiments
of mendicant and vagabond loyalty,
lacking the ingenuity to steal and the
courage to rob, must thus be rewarded
for their only boast-intense loyalty to
the Rump and the niger. Why don'tthe
commanding general say so like a man
and then people can have some respect
for it. Be man in bad and desper-
ate actor keep still. We will state
that 1871" removes a District Judge,
who is a confederate deserter, and of
course we won't drop a tear for him !;
three clerks of Courts, an Assessor, a
Justice of the Peace and Tax Collec-
tor. AS yet no Sexton has been decap-
itated, nor has any order been issued
preventing Confederates from dying.

The British Periodicals.

We publish in another column the
advertisement of the reprint of the
British Periodicals Of the Leonard
Scott Publishing Company, New York.
We have so often taken occasion to
commend this American edition of the
periodicals in our columns that we
deem any further notice of them use
less. All will admit that they are in
dispensable to the general reader who
desires to maintain an acquaintance
with the literary world, and with the
different mutations of British politics.
The exorbitant price of the original
numbers places it beyond the ability Of
most persons to subscribe for them.
Messrs. Leonard Scott & Co., therefore,
render substantial service to the
American public by putting forth an
edition at such cheap rates as to place
them within the reach of all. The ty-
biographical execution of the work is
beyond all praise, and each Review, if
bound at the end of the year, would
make a handsome and valuable volume
for the library. We can speak from
experience Of the punctuality with
which subscribers receive their num-
bers. During the past year we have
not lost a single number. All orders
should be sent to The Leonard Scott
Publishing Company, No. lao Fulton
Street, New York. a

Contemplate.

The temporary commander Of this
Monarchy, having but q few hours to
WELD the despotic power at his con-
troll, has made it the medium Of the
Characteristic traits Of all the Satraps.
He has again removed Harry T. Hays,
Sheriff Of the Parish Of Orleans, and
appointed a DR.. Avery, from the land
Of wooden pumpkin seeds, toTeplace
him. The same old played out, stale
and false reason has been assigned in
the military edict No. 1873, "being an
impeachment to reconstruction under
the laws Of Congress" Bah! what
duplicity /! what hypocrisy! Thesa
edict removes P. R. O'Rourke, Clerk Of
the Second District Court, armed
Confederate, gentleman and good
officer, and in his stead the notorious
R. L. Shelley, the infamous correspon-
dent of old Greeley, has been foisted.
How much longer are the people ofthis
State to be thus shamefully treated and
trampled on is hard to say. By this
time General Hancock has relieved
the negro Bureau Boss, and he being
considered gentleman, we may look
for a little justice and some decency.
An article which we publish from the
Crescent gives picture of Shelley.

The Old Guard.

As the new year approaches we can
confidently recommend to those who
desire to subscribe for an orthodox
American periodical, "The Old Guard
published by Messrs Van Evrie, Horton
g. Co., who are well known as the pub
fishers of the New York Day-Book.
The "Old Guard" is a literary and po-
litical magazine in which the questions
of the day are discussed by some Of the
ablest writer's in the country. Those
who are familiar with the political
course Of that able paper, the Day Book,
need not be told that Southern people
will find in the "Old Guard" political
questions discussed in such q manner
as will meet with their own approba-
ton and the appreciation of all lovers
of Constitutional liberty.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1867-11-27
exacting in their demands.

But whatever course may be adopted
we feel assured that the settlement OF
the Southern question cannot fail to be
on more liberal terms than any. the
Radicals have hitherto proposed
We cannot help feeling that all the
work of the contemplate bodies known
as Southern State Conventions will be
done in vain. That the Radicals and
the negroes at the South are near the
end of their row. And that negro suf-
frage for the South will soon be buried
in Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota
We, therefore, breathe the more freely,
and begin to look forward to the dawn
ings Of better day. All honor, then,
to the Conservative masses Of the
North who have recently proclaimed
so emphatically their condemnation OF
the principles of the dominant party.

Radical Miscalculations.

The Northern Radical papers are
congratulating themselves, says the
Savannah News, that under no circum-
stances can the reins Of power be
wrested from the Radical party for SIX
years, for the reason that the political
complexion of the Senate cannot be
changed in that time. It is possible
that they may find out their mistake.
AS the Louisville Courier says, the cur,
rent of public opinion in the North is
now running too strong against negro
suffrage and equality, to be safely dis
regarded. If the Representatives, in
Congress do disregard the popular will
and attempt to force their policy upon
the nation in defiance of it, they will
lose their seats and Democratic ma
iority will be found in the next House
of Representatives. Of what avail will
the Radical majority in the Senate be
then? All bills for the appropriation
of money must originate in the House,
and the House will refuse to originate
any to support the military govern
ments in the South and the Bureau
agents. It will also refuse to present
articles of impeachment against any
officer who refuses to execute the re-
construction laws. The hands Of the
Senate can be thus efectually tied, and
the whole reconstruction scheme will
collapse. It was never intended that
the Senate should ride rough-shod over
the liberties of the people, and if that
body makes the attempt, it will find
it's wheel very suddenly scotched.

ferred to sitting up. He was apparently 10
rather better spirits than usual, and soon
after entering the room he poured out
some rasberry wine, a glass for himself and
one for each of the ladies. After chatting
a few moments, he drank his glass Of wine
the ladies only slipping theirs. In few
minutes after that draught he was corpse.

The PORE IN THE FoRrREss-Hs Inter-
view NTH the Ga,1baldian Prisoners.
Yesterday October. 1eth) the Pope went
to Fort St. Angelo and presented himself
to the Garibaldian prisoners who received
him on their knees in profound silence.
Looking around on the party, about two
hundred in number, the holy father said,
/" Behold him whom your General calls the
vampire Of Italy. Is it against me you
have all taken up arms? And what do
you SEGA poor old man. The Pope
then drew nearer and addressed several Of
the prisoners personally, saying, You.
my friend, have lost your shoes, and you
your shirt, and you your hat. All, well, |
shall see you are provided, and then Ishall
send you away to your own homes; only |
shall ask you first, as Catholics, to make a
spiritual retirement for my sake. You
know my dear friends, that, it is the Pope
himself who asks this Of you"
The Garibaldians were deeply moved BY
this address, and pressed forward to kiss
the cross bordering the Pope's robes, and
then the holy father gave them his bene-
diction.- Pail MALI Gazette, Oct. 20.

The New Appointments.
+ From the N. %. Crescent. /

The caprices Of military tyranny are capa.
ble 81 many violations oil common sense and
common decency. Human eredulity can
compass almost any extent Of absurdity and
improbability. But there are some things
So grotesquely indecent that even the cap
ricious tyranny Of military despotism would
generally avoid them; and there are some
things SO intrinsically absurd and improba-
BILE that even the most credulous of men
might Justly refuse to credit them. The
appointment of Mclean and Cutler seemed
to reach the limit of that contempt for pub
lie opinion, which is so Characteristic Of ar
bitrary and irresponsible power. But the
appointment Of Shelby shows that there is
step beyond what Eemed to be the con-
fines of contemptuoua disregard of proprie-
". 1.-THE public had been told that Con-
go negro had been appointed clerk OF one
ofour courts, they would not have thought
il necessary to verify;the report by appeal
ling to the official record. But It requires
more than one persual Of General Mowers
order to convince person that the cores
pondent of the N. Y. Tribune can actually
have been selected, even by the authority
which chose Mclean ind Cutler, to fill any
sort Of official position in the community.
IF General Mower was resolved to eject a
faithful and competent public officer from
the place to which he had been elected by
the legal voters OF the city, he might, per-
haps, have found a competent and honora-
BILE person to accept the appointment.
But 1.-The wished to select one possessing
the mercenaryqualities, without the cour-
age Of the Hessians; the mendacity with
ont the talent of Munchausen, the mendac-
ity without the necessities Of the profess
sional beggar, he could have found no one
in New Orleans so well qualified as Shell
ley.
After this remarkable exhibition Of mill
itary peristaltics, the public could not rea.
sonably expect consistency at the hands Of
the governing authorities. They are, there.
fore, not surprised TO learn that Gen. Hays
who, after being displaced as an " impede
ment'" and then replaced for two event.
full weeks, during which be must be sup.
posed to have lost his obstructive charac.
ter, has again become supplementary and is
consequently, removed. But, as if to allow
all the resources Of military power, the
commanding generalhas this time selected
a person who is recognized as a gentleman
who is not known to have libeled and viii.
fed our people; and who is not suspected
Of having decended to disreputable intrigues
for the purpose Of securing an official posi-.
ton. The appointment ofsuch man is O
pleasing variety in General Mowers ca.
