HALL cqssE15yEIoS TUITION cQsyGS!1eE Of F.. Ia.

New Orleans, La, February 20, 1858. !
The undersigned, members of the eonsti.
tutional convention and citizens of Louisi-
ana, apprehensive that the New Orleans
Tribune may be. regarded as representing us
in its opposition to the regularly nominated
ticket for state officers, take this method Of
protesting against its course, and pledge
ourselves to heartily support, with our votes
and influence, the nominees of the state
convention made on the 18th and l4th Of
January. 1868;

THE WATBRW0RKs AND THE CITY.

Some three months since commission Of
FIVE members was elected by the City
Council to confer with commission OF
similar members designated by the Com
mercial Waterworks company, to deter
mine, upon investigation, examination, and
conference, the amount the city of New
Orleans should be required to pay for the
entire property connected with the water
| works.
The commission have been diligent in
their investigations, and on the part of
the city have performed their work
with most commendable fidelity. The re.
suit of the conference and final agreement
between the parties is that the city shall
pay two million dollars for the iwaterworks,
ia bonds of the city bearing five per cent
interest per annum, payable in thirty years.
This is step in the right direction, and
it only remains for the City Council to con-
firm the action of the two commissioners
and issue the bonds, when all the interest
of the Commercial WaterwOrks company
in the waterworks will be transferred to
the city,
Under the management of judicious
Water Board these works may be made
sufficiently remunerative to pay the cur
rent interest and large portion if not the
whole Of the principal of the two million
dollar bonds within the thirty years. More
than that, the water rates may be reduced
materially, the supply of water may be
increased, the quality of the water may be
improved, and the time will speedily ar
rive when there will always be ample
water to Aow through the street cutters
for sanitary purposes and to extinguish
fires in every section of the city.
New Orleans will then be in the condi-
ton of other cities that own and manage
the waterworks within their limits, and
supply the inhabitants at reasonable rates
and with abundant quantities, and yet
make financial profit by the operation,
The commissioners have made detailed
report to the Mayor, who it is presumed,
will submit the entire matter to the City
Council at the session next Tuesday. The
Council can not meet the public expecta-
tons unless they act Immediately, and ma
ture the arrangement entered into within
thirty days.

ventive in spirit and letter. They are
designed for the protection and safety OF
quiet people, and for the repression and
punishment of the unruly. 1t may never
be necessary to invoke the assistance
granted by them but it should be SO pro-
vided beforehand that no man need appeal
in vain to the sworn officers of his parish
for protection to his life and property.
Such provision is made in the bill now
pending The best interests of the State
require its adoption, and ne good reason
has been or can be urged against it.

RRDIgTRTUTINg,

A bill is now pending in the General
ASSEMBLY providing for a redisnicting Of
the State for Congressional representation.
Under the present law we find some dis.
tricts with twice the number Of voters resi-
dent than in others. This is largely brought
about by the enfranchissment Of colored
men, making those districts which were
sparseiy settled by vOizs before the war
now swarming with the enfranehised.
1t is only proper and just that our first
Legislature should equalIze the representa-.
ten and repeal those laws which now give
to ten thousand voters the same voice at
Washington as twenty thousand Of their
neighbOrs possess. E

HOW THEY DO 1T.

The pliability of the Democratic con
science is really remarkable. When an
Office is to be had by SO doing good Dem
ocrat will of course swallow any oath
which to a less versatile politician might
seem an obstacle; but to swear yourself
into position one day, and solemnly eat
your words the next, is new phase of this
characteristic of Democracy.
We have in mind an instance. Article
ninety-nine of the constitution disqualifes
from holding Office, among others, those
who held Office for more than one year
under the so-called Confederate government,
except those who, thus disqualified, had yet
prior to the first of January, 1868, favored
the execution of the reconstruction laws,
and openly and actively assisted the loyal
men of the State, etc.
One of the gentlemen whom General
Buchanan declared elected to a response
Bile position-no less than that of District
Attorney for this judicial dlstriet-had
served four years as an officer in the Con-
federate army. Ne one would have sup
posed that he favored negro suffrage and
the Acknowledgement of rebels, but he
swears that he did, as the following afida-
Wit, which was fled in the Executive De-
partment in order to obtain his commits
sion, clearly proves:
Prior to the first day of January, 1868,
! favored the execution Of the laws of the
United States popularly known as the
reconstruction acts of Congress, and
actively and openly assisted the loyal men
of the State in their efforts to restore Lou.
isiana to her position in the Union.
Presto, change! The Democrats hold a
grand ratification meeting. Figuring
thereat, as one of the vice-Presidents and
leaders, we find this distinguished ally Of
Republicanism and open and active advO-
cate Of equal rights. Our friend has sworn
that he favored the execution of the re-
construction acts, but be now Joins in de-
ciaring those measures usurpations, un.
constitutional, revolutionary, and void.'

1t is entireley useless to hold a Presiden-
tial election in November next. 1t will
only be another useless expenditure of the
public moneys. The whole thing is fixed
as conclusively and determinedly as if the
election had already been held, and the re-
suit announced to the country.
The new-fedged Democracy of New Or
leans-that strange convocation Of polite
worms, who have been all things by turns
and nothing lOng-have inevitably fixed
the thing. 1t is no use to kick against the
pricks, they say, but it is still ofless use to
oppose Seymour and Blair. This is Cos
pei, and he who can not see it, and does
not believe it. is dnGthema, for which, in the
language of Captain Cutie, turn over the
pages of the Times and Crescent, and when
found make note on it. ..

For the Republican,
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
Their Merits. from n Northern Stand
point

Their Merits. from n Northern Stand
point.
In brief sketch Of the Democratic nom
inees for President and Vice-President, in
Harper's Weekly of twenty-fifth of July, the
following significant allusion is made to
the merits of those gentlemen, and is cal
culated to throw damper on the spirits of
our Democratic fellow citizens of this re-
gion, who are trying SO hard to save the
Constitution from destruction, and perpetu-
ate liberty in America according to their
peculiar ideas:
Mr., Seymour has always been a Demo.
crat. He has never held an official posi-
ton outside of his own State, and even
there he has in all elections fallen behind
his ticket. The only national reputation
which he has arises from his opposition TO
the war. No weaker candidate, not even
excepting Pendleton, could have been
nominated by the convention.
Nor is the nomination of Francis P.
Blair, Jr., for Vice-President any more
suspicious for the Democratic party. He
was nominated for three reasons First,
because he was a soldier, and war man
was necessary to balance Seymour's anti.
war record second, because he was a
Western man and third, because Of his re-
cent revolutionary letter TO Mr.. Broad
head, Sedition is the forte of the Demo-
cratic party. Seymour raised mob. and
Frank Blair threatens revolution. This is
the Democratic platform.

THE RAINY SEASON.

Our long course of dry weather is sue
ceeded by daily rains which are proving
a damage to the planting interests, and a
nuisance to the city jewellers. No great
number of opinions were ever yet entirely
satisfied with the weather, but we think a
clear majority would now vote for an in
definite postponement of refreshing show
ers." "Dry up,n is safe ejaculation.

Brick POmeroy, writing home from New
York, under date of July 6, tells how PEN
dletOn was defeated in the convention. He
says; E Filsatszr ,s
We have for several years been actively
engaged in political struggles seen
conventions mangled and Influenced many
times, by various means but never have
we seen the open attempt to buy delegates,
the determination 10 make money the great
motive power, the entire utter, disregard Of
respect for the wishes Of the people, as has
been developed by the New York managers
Of Wall street and bondh0lders, Interests
The entire aim, SO far, has been to crush
Pendleton and the eeople, with no particular
choice as 10 who should be placed IN nonai-
nation against him, Delegates WhO left
home instructed for and ia favor Of PEN
dieton, have been bought, by money
paid to them to vote against him. Over
500, 900 were paid out to buy delegates
away from Pendieton between the first and
fourth Of July, and some Of this money
went to Wisconsin delegates, Is we are III.

dltioually repudiates the seymOur-Blair

Democracy in our city and State has
become the last refuge of all our vaga-
bonds This is not strange, for the vaga-
bonds had no other place to go to. No
other party, in any nation under the sun,
would have anything to do with them but
the Democracy was in sore need Of allies,
and therefore it welcomed to it, ranks all
those beautiful and picturesque models OF
true Jacksonian Democracy so well repre-
sented by such immaculate characters as
Lucien Adams, Bill Lockwood Oscar
Blasco, Ell id genus on1ni.

construction were conspicuous in the grand
procession of Saturday evening last WHAT

patronage. 1t has grown rich upon its
