r ~ 0rT The pending general election
in this State is, and will continue to
be, until its close, an all-absorbing
topic Of interest with onr people.
Upon its result will hinge the char
,-acter and management for veal or
woe, III the future, Of our political,
domestic and business affairs. A re-
suit, favorable to just, honorable
and dignifed policy Of government,
depends upon the defeat of the Con
stitntion and those contemplate par
asitic adherents who expect to sail
into office and power under it.
The conservative element is strong
enough, BY a judicious combination
of numbers and influence to vote
down THE whole concern. Let that
p element come forth and prove itself
= equal to such an emergency. The
election will soon be upon us. Let
4every1tman having at heart a due
regard for, and appreciation Of, the
best interests Of society and Of his
I country, nerve himself for the con-
test and by every honorable means
inthis power, seek to block the game
about to be attempted Of foisting a
Radical Constitution with Radical
crew of mongrel ofice7seekers upon
an unwilling people. .a.a

THE POLICE.


Some few weeks ago, just after the passage
of the Metropolitan Police bill, board, under
that bill, was duly appointed by ex-governor,
qualified, and took possession of their Offices.
They at once commenced q system of whole.
sale decapitation and in short time replaced
our former police with ignorant partisans.
most of them colored men, and with but the
one virtue of being Radicals. These officers
have proved themselves VIGOROUSLY inefficient,
in fact, worse than no officers at all. Night
before last, at the regular meeting of
the Common Council, the police board
sent in their estimates of the cost of running
themselves for the coming year, with mild
request that the council proceed forthwith to
levy a tax sufficient to raise the money. To
this our city fathers responded by passing a
resolution ordering the city attorney at once
to take the necessary steps towards testing
the constitutionality of the police bill, and
also of the printing bill, and further instruct
ing the controller and treasurer to pay no
officer of the police nor the State printer
until the matter of the legality Of their claims
has been decided.
This is a course of conduct which every
honest man in the community must indorse.
If these high-handed measures are to be
forced upon us; if we are to be taxed to sup
port officers who are not our own, let us al
least test every avenue of escape before sub
hitting to these new burdens. We await the
result with interest not unmixed with hope.

ADDRESS OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

We publish this morning the address of
the Democratic State Central Committee.
This document sets forth the reasons which
exist for hope that the Democratic party may
succeed in November, in spite of the partial
reverses of the 18th inst. and it also exposes
the necessity, now more imperious than ever,
for carrying this State. The ability of the
Democratic party to carry Louisiana is con-
coded by the Radicals-it is only question
of will The white population is much
larger than the negro population; the white
vote is larger than the negro vote, and there
will not be three thousand white Radical
votes cast in the State. We can elect our
ticket without single negro vote, if we dis
play as much energy and activity as our
opponents have heretofore exhibited-as
much as we have manifested in club meet
ings, professions and banner presentations.
The committee very justly declare it to be
our duty to cast the vote of Louisiana for
Seymour and Blair-a duty which we owe,
not only to the great party which has
espoused the cause of liberty and
Justice in our behalf but to
ourselves, our families, and our
State. 1t is necessary for us to demonstrate
to the world that the reconstruction scheme
is failure, and that it is failure we can
prove by showing that the government which
it has imposed ON us exists in fragrant def
ance of the public opinion of the State. Every
vote cast for the Democratic ticket is pro-
test against Radical tyranny, against congress
sional tyranny, against carpet-baggery and
scalawaggery. Whether Grant is elected or
not, the reconstruction scheme will fail; and it
will fail because tbs opposed by hostile and
unyielding public opinion. 1t is for US to
show that this public opinion is really hostile
and unyielding-not by murderous outrages
and riotous violence, but by the clear and in
disputable testimony of the ballot box.
An overwhelming majority for the Dem
ocratic ticket will prove that the car
pet-bag government of Louisiana is a
fraud which is only not a farce be-
cause it is accompanied with so many sad
results and bitter consequences. If the
people of Louisiana and of the other Southern
States exert their power in this way, they will
soon convince even the Republican party that
the attempt to maintain the reconstruction
scheme is more hopeless than the effort to
balance pyramid on its apex A momen-
tary equilibrium may be achieved, but the
slightest pressure causes it to topple over.
The committee urge this point with force and
clearness. They have not dilated on it, be-
cause, perhaps, they considered it almost
superfuous to employ argument for the pur-
pose of enforcing considerations SO plain and
duties so evident. We trust that the Demo-
cracy of Louisiana, now that the registration
is SO nearly over, viii 60 to work with aug
mented energy, and with redoubled deter
mination to carry the State on the Sd of
November.
