THE TWO FORBES.

The issue of the coming election grows
clearer every day. On the one hand We
have the regular Republican state ticket
pledged for the adoption of the new con-
stitution, and headed by the names of War
moth and Dunn. 1t is the ticket which
represents fidelity to principle, fealty to
that spirit of good order and usefulness
which governs every intelligent political
party, and an earnest desire to confer equal
political rights upon every citizen, and the
blessings of education upon every child in
Louisiana. Itrepresents the party of i'm
partial justice, the party which seeks to
honor labor and to dignity manhood. It's
followers are organized and determined.
They will not only sweep the state of Lou
isiana, but they will Join their forces to the
grand army of the Republican party
which saved the country during the war,
which set Tree the slave, which passed the
civil rights bill and the reconstruction laws,
and which now throughout the length and
breadth of the land keeps step to the music
Of the Union.
What have we opposed to this magnif-
cent organization a rabble more motley
BY several degrees than was ever assembled
since the tower Of Babel came to its sudden
pause. Rebels who bewail their lost cause,
renegades from the Republican party who
have been ignOminiously drummed out Of
camp to the enlivening music of the Rogue's
March, KnOW-Nothing thugs who sigh for
the good time when they shall be able again
to ply their daggers with IMMUNITY, sore
heads" who hate the stars and stripes as
Satan is supposed to hate holy water, old
fogies who toddle along with the rest, and
can not tell exactly where they are going,
but think they are all right 50
long as their companions sufficiently curse
congress and the colored man. They pre-
tend to no principles, they can patch up
no platform, they can raise no common
standard. Their gospel is the gospel of
hate. They are mob-blind, noisy, and
mixed. They can not construct, but they
hope to destroy. They will meet the usual
fate Of mobs, which is to do as much mis-
chief as they can, and then dispense in
confusion before the imposing presence Of
a regular and advancing organization.

which cost $11S,747 10 in addition to the
1858 $50 o. paid by the street commits
sioner's department, while in the latter
half of the year 1867 all the street cleaning
and repairing contracts, with the exception
of one ward at $500 month, were broken
up as fraudulent, and the s315,943 1S rep
resents the cleaning and repairing Of the
entire city, with the exception of the one
ward named. 1t also includes a large item
for new work, embracing more than Sl2,-
900 for matchmaking four blocks on Canal
street, and converting a series of slough
holes on that thoroughfare into hard
road. The labor of keeping in repair the
street bridges of the entire third district
by far the largest district in the city, was
also paid for by the street commissioners
department.
While the whole expense of cleaning and
repairing the streets of the city, including
the contract work in 1866, was $500, s27 IL,
in 1867 it fell far below that amount. During
the epidemic last year tie street commits
sioner was compelled to employ large
force for sanitary purposes, and bis depart
ment sustained the expense of sending in
digent sick to the hospital, and of burying
the INDECENT dead, nearly thousand such
having been buried during the year, and as
many sick conveyed to the hospital.
On the score Of economy the Republican
city administration can challenge compari.
son with preceding administrations, and if
the taxpayers of New Orleans will consult
their own pecuniary interests they will vote
for the Republican candidates for city OIL
GERS who will administer the government
with the most rigid economy in every de
partment Let us elect Republican city
administration and we shall have system
of economy that will reduce the annual
municipal expenses thousands Of dollars.

dent for advice By all the obligations Of
his Office be was bound to say to them; at
is my duty to enforce the law, it is your
duty to obey it, Had he done this, who
can say that Alabama might not long since
have been restored to the Union as Tennes-
see has been? What does he say-how
does he discharge his sworn duty He
replies: "What possible good can be OBJ
tanned by reconsiderihg the constitutional
amendment? 1 know Of nome" The
President knows of no good that can
GENE by complying with the law, and
urges the people to disregard it. This is not
enough he must sneer at congress. IL do
not believe the people ofthe whole country
will sustain any set of individuals in the
attempt to change the whole character Of
our government This "set of individ-
uals" was the law-making power of the
government, and the people will Sustain"
them in their present resolution to place
this lawbreaker where he can do no
further mischief.
Thus far, the prosecution have made out
their case. It remains to be seen what the
defense will be.

THE TWO STATE TICKETS.

There are two state tickets to be voted
for in Louisiana at the coming election.
One is the regularly nominated ticket of
the Republican party, and which will re-
ceive the almost unanimous support Of that
party. The other is the rebel Democratic
boiling ticket, headed by J. G, Italia
ferro for governor, and which
will be supported by the rebels,
by the very few colored men they can
delude into voting against the constitution,
and by the handful of disappointed office
seekers who have deserted from the Re-
publican party.
From the New Orleans Picaylne, which
most bitterly denounced the late constitu-
tional convention and the new constitution,
we make the following extracts:
VOTE FOR TALIAFERRo.
It is our mature conclusion that il is the
duty of every conservative to vote for Judge
Taliaferro for governor.
Every vote kept back from Taliaferro is
vote given to WaTmOth. - We
must beat him five can, and we can only beat
MIN ny GlbCliIB MS OILY tOllpCblluis w ar
moth is the representative carpet-bagger; in
beating him we beat them all.
Indeed, it is enough for any sensible man
to know that by beating Warmoth with
Taliaterro we defeat congressional diCtation
in the management of its party in this state,
and that we put stop forever to alien inter
ference with our domestic affairs.
Would our eOlored voters now be free
and enfranchised American citizens if loyal
"carpet-baggers" had not interfered in the
domestic affairs" of Louisiana? But OBJ
serve what the Picayme says:
Such a dgeat ,sal be tgorse than he failure
Of The constitution, for in the latter event
they will hope for congressional interfer.
ence to give them "a provisional govern
mentn by direct action Of congress, ap-
pointing them as its heads, or giving the
Dryades Street convention the power of re.
assembling and organizing it.
The first and great step Is TO detedt the con-
StittaioR If zoe can; nert, for fear IRE may
faa n tbs to elect IaIiqterO governor.
By all means let every man vote for Tai
iaferro for governor. We do not knew how
strong he is, or may be, with the negro
voters. As to this accounts differ, and we
have no means to make the matter clear.
Let US vote for him at all events, and assure
his election.
So, this organ of the opponents Of recon-
struction and of the new constitution holds
that it will be worse for the Republican
party to have Taliaferro elected than to
have the new constitution defeated. In
one sentence it says: "The first and great
step is to defeat the constitution if we can;
next, for fear we may fail in this, to elect
Taliaferro governor
Loyal voters of Louisiana the mask Is
thrown of and daylight has come, and you
can now see face to face those whs are false
and those who are true to the principles of
the Republican party. Do not vote for
dny man, whoever he may be, whose name
is on any ticket whatever which has upon
il against the constitution.

THE STREET COMMISSIONERS BxPENDI.
TURBS.

TURES.
The rebel press have been persistent
and consistent in their charges Of proHigate
extrayaganCe by the present administra-
ton Of the street commissioners depart
ment. These charges can not be sus-
tanned. As an officer Of the city, under
the city charter the street commissioner
can not purchase dozen pencils or a box
of steel pens, or indeed any article Of any
kind without first making written appli-
cation, stating what articles are wanted,
and ct what prices, and Of whom it is pro-
posed to purchase. This application must
be submitted to the chairmen Of the COM
mittees Of streets and landings Of the board
Of aldermen and assistant aldermen for
their approval. .s1
II approved, the controller will, if he is
satisfied the purchase should be made, Issue
requisition, which requisitiOu must be
submitted % the finance committee Of both
boards, and no article purchased by any
city official can be paid for without these
Indispensable requisites. Every article
purchased for city use is subject to this APP
prcval Of the two committees, comprising
eight cut Of nine Of the aldermen, ana
eight out Of fifteen Of the assistant alder
men.
The number Of men and carts that may
be employed in hEa departments not under.
the control Of the street commissioner. The
city ordinance gives the power Of reeuiat-
ms the numbeE Of men and carss to the.

A PLAIN STATEMENT.

The Pioayune announces that by beat
ing Warmoth with Taliaferro /" it " will de-
feat congressional dctation,n and will ''put
a stop forever to alien interference in our
domestic affairs Thisis sufficiently frank.
Congress, which abolished slavery, which
passed the civil rights bill, which has en-
franchised the eolOred man, is to be defeat
ed by beating Judge Warmoth; and It's
" alien interference" which would recon-
struct our state upon the basis Of free
speech and equal rights, will be forever
stopped. We have repeatedly denounced
the TaliaierrO secession as rebel move
ment in disguise, but now the disguise is
boldly thrown away, and the announce
ment is made that congress is en- alien
affair, the United States foreign country,
and that the election Of TaliaferrO will
make the rebels all right.
