from Louisiana since the resignation Of
Slidel and Benjamin IN 1861.
The Democrats held Seymour and
Blair ratification meeting last night in La
fayette square. which for the numbers in
attendance, the decorations, and the order
ly conduct Of the participants, was polit-
ical success. We have nothing to say in
favor of the resolutions or the speeches
prepared tor the occasion. To the eye Of
the outward observer, however. the affair,
taken as a whole, was oreditable. The il
luminations were quite general in the low
er part Of the First District, between Maya
zine and Baronne streets, the
transparencies were well enough in their
way, considering the short notice given,
while the profusion OF United States flags
furnished most agreeable change from the
recent Democratic demonstrations in this
city. What pity that SO much enthusiasm,
so great expense, and such apparently sin
cere enthusiasm should be expended to no
purpose, But the Democracy of New Or
leans are proverbial for political mis-
calculation.
As usual the city authorities have az
complished nothing beyond placing their
favOrites in office. In doing this they Gre
ated more than ordinary ill feeling among
their adherents. The German element has
been entirely ignored in parceling out the
offices; the Creoles have been treated to
very light gifts; and many individual cases
of neglect have occurred While the
Democracy in some parts Of the interior
are endeavering through the agency Of bar
becues to win over the colored votes, their
brethren in the city have not been able to
afford single Office to a member OF this
new class of voters. The party in the
country makes fair promises, bat that in
the city has no mind to pay.
City money is two or three cents better
than at the close Of the previous week;
but it is quoted dull and dropping, and
shows tendency to go back to forty
three. The course Of Mayor Conway, in
refusing to enforce the ordinance authoriz.
ing the issued certificates of Indebtedness,
is commented upon by men of both politi-
cal parties. 1t is generally believed that
the measure would afford considerable re-
lief; and if not strictly legal, it is as much |
80 as the issue Of city notes, and being for
the benefit of the people, would be upheld
by them as the best thing that could have
been done under the circumstances. 1t is
contended by eminent lawyers that the
issue debt of the city is entirely one Of
honor, which the people will pay, but
which it would be difficult to collect by |
process of law. These certificates would |
stand in precisely the same category. We
ire glad to learn that a movement has been
begun in the Legislature with a view to
thoroughly reorganize the whole financial
ystem of the city. Il will be made public
n due time.
A number of fetes, and rural entertain
nents are announced to take place to-day.
The firemen offer pleasant amusement at
he fair grounds; and another spectacle
will be presented in Algiers.

POLITICAL FILTRATION.

At the same time that the Louisiana De
mocracy is endeavoring, through the agen
cy Of barbecues and fattering words, tC
make disciples of our colored voters, TIT
orthodox leaders in the Atlantic States arr
preaching the true faith in its purest form
Elk Governor Vance, of North Carolina
triumphantly declares that the election O.
Seymour and Blair will secure all that the
Csnfederates fought for in tie late rebel
lion. Henry A. Wise, who blessed God
because there was not newspaper printed
in his Congressional district, says that the
resolution in the Democratic platform alleg.
ing that secession is dead is lie-that it is
now more alive than ever. This old Dem.
ocratic scold supports the ticket because
Blair has promised another revolution. He
evidently wants to have another chance to
defend Hilton Head.
Wade Hampton, much more influential
politician and respectable man than Wise.
said in speech in New York the other
night that he wanted his Democratic listen
ers to register an oath that if Seymour and
Blair received more ,ohue uotes than Grant
and Colfax that the former should be
placed in the White House in spite Of all
the bayonets that can be brought against
them.
We hope the colored people of Louisiana
will continually bear the fact in mind that
the Democracy of this State is in entire
harmony with Vance, Wise, Hampton, Sey.
mour, and all the other inveterate enemies
of their race, and that they but await the
favorable hour which places power
once more into their hands to
wreak their long pent up vengeance
upon the whole African race. II they
can accomplish their purpose by the aid Of
eolored votes, as they have done in Missis-
sippL they will resort to all the known
means of fiattery to secure them. Hollow
pretensions of friendship will be made
barbecues provided, at which the rare
sight will be presented of old massa and
bis former slave feeding out of the same
platter. All this before the election. After
that, especially if the Democratic ticket is
successful by the aid of the colored vote
land there is no possibility Of such success
without iD, they will resume their old
pastime of hunting the poor freedmen from
their homes, burning their houses, murder
ng their women and children, and other
FRANKS to prove the superiority Of the
white race.
Fortunately, the Republican party of this
State possesses an advantage over their
friends in Mississippi. They have one |
newspaper that has the will and the power |
o keep them informed of the intentions of !
he enemy. So long as they read the Re.
'uBL1cAN, and carefully heed what it saws,
nd vote accordingly, they have nothing to
ear. Other teachers there are Of the
Democratic faith, but pay no heed to them,
nd all viii be well in November. Ia the !
Meantime there is no harm in attending
arbecues and fraternizing the Democracy,
8 such course will tend to prepare the
wo races to live together in harmony.

LOUISIANA REPRESENTATIVES ADMIT.


The telegraph announces that Hons. W
j. Blackburn, james Mann, ]. P. Newsham
j. Fl. Sypher, and Michel Vidal Repre-
sentatiVes from Louisiana, were admitted
to seats in the House yesterday. The
members from South Carolina were also
admitted at the same time. Both the
House and Senate are rapidly filling up,
and will be full enough by fall to command
the respect Of the most fastidious Copper
head who has heretofore commended that
the Congress was not legal body because
of the exclusion of representatives from
so many States. Since the impeachment
trial ten Senators and twenty Representa-
tives have been added to Congress under
the provisions Of the reconstruction laws;
and four more Senators and thirteen Rep.
resentatives (six from Alabama and seven
from Georgia. viii probably be admitted
during the coming week. The number Of
Senators is now sixty-four, and of Repre-
sentatiYes two hundred and eighty-seYen.

SOUTHERN RAILROADs.--The Secretary Of

Southern railroads. Many Of these have

contemplation 10 appoint a Government
Receiver, 70 take fun possession Of such

the debt Is paid. Several roads have already
been taken possession Of in this manner,
which is in strict accordance with the terms

Hddden as. Lttle.-Judge Barrett has rendered the
subjoned opinion In this warmly contested tiga-
tion the fun particulars Of which have appeared in
the HERALD from time TO time:-
OPINION.
There IL foundation for the construction placed
by the plaintiff upon the contract III question. The
agreement to share any improvements made by
either party on the said inventions has clearly ref
erence TO the improvements upon the particular In
ventions covered by the letters patent referred TO In
the instrument. In other words, the parties
agreed to share all the subsequent improvements
In 'reegraphc recording instruments" which the
defendant had then invented, and The purchase OF
one-haf interest In which was recited TO be the
PLAINTIFFS object In entering into the contract There
Is no reference to any subsequent Invention OF i'm.
provements in teegraphic recording instruments Of
character different and distinct from that then In
existence and which formed the subject Of the con-
tract and indeed, 1t would require very clear Ian
guage TO warrant the assumption that the de-
PENDANT intended 70 convey one-half OF every such
IL is established without denial from the pIan that
the '1oating PEN, Is not an improvement upon the
"relay az the original invention styled but an
improvement IN teiegraphic wording instruments
OF distinct and even opposite character. TO this
the paintir clearly has no claim, and the fact that
the defendent has at times addressed him in terms
indicating recognition Of his joint interest merely
shows that the defendant msconstrued the agree
ment and misconceved his own rights. There IA
nothing In the point that the injunction
should be retained until the trial The plaintiff is
bound TO make out clear title-one at all events
without reasonable doubt to warrant this extra.
ordinary remedy. Here every equity OF the bill IL
denied and the title Is not only doubtful but, to my
mind, clearly the other way. An injunction should
not be retained where, upon the complaint answer
and afdavits presented, success upon the trial
seems improbable. The motion TO dissolve a. 70 the

PENDANT In the action as stakeholder OF the CON-
pany received dividend OF 1904 so. Prior to the
appointment OF a receiver Of the companys assets
there was sum OF Sl36 10 due the defendant
for return premiums. The company had
insured the defendant against loss on the
ship Dreadnonght which vessel arrived in
the middle OF January, 1870, having encountered
certain perils which gave rise to general average
under which the company eventually became in
debted to the defendant for 39l 10. The protest
was not made until February T. 1866, and the proof
OF the policy losses were not payable until thirty
days after proof Of loss given to the company.
