Another war Threntened.

We have, says the Albany Journal, just
emerged from one bloody war, and we are
threatened with another-by the same men
and for the same reasons. In 1860, with
others, the eighty-two rebels who represents
ed the Southern States in the recent Demo
cratic National Convention, proclaimed war
in the event of Lincoln's election. And war
came, because the Democratic alministra-
tion then in power connived with those who
inaugurated the strife.
In 1868 the same men, fresh from the
slaughter of half million of loyal men,
again threaten war if Grant is elected, and
the notification of the Constitution and the
laws, which will render civil war inevita-
BILE, if he is beaten.
But circumstances are not now what they
then were. Congress has taken care that
there shall be no such plundering of arsen-
ais, dispersion of armies, and scattering OF
navies as in 1860. Rebels will not be armed
by the government now as then, for Grant
knows how to deal with traitors, and he
will take care that no second rebellion il
Matched either in New York or in Richmond
But the threat remains, and the Democratic
party approve oft.

DEMOCRATIC MISREPREsENTA
TIOss
New ORLEANS, August %, 1868.

NEW ORLEANS, August 70, 1865.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN
In this mornings Times is communica-
tion from Brashear City, which is so full of
misrepresentation that l deem it duty to
expose their falsity.
In the first place, Henry johnson, the
honest, intelligent, and Industrious" col
ored man, spoken of as a popular leader of
the Loyal League heretofore, but now a
convert to Democracy, never has held any
position in the League, and is, moreover,
disfranchised on account of having been
convicted of murder.
Dorsey and Van Slack, spoken of as likely
to go with the Democratic party next No
vember, are speaking daily, aud working
might and main for Grant and Colfax.
Republicans in st. Mary parish are wide
awake and enthusiastic. At a recent club
meeting in Franklin, three out of four mem
bers who had been claimed as converts to
speeches, dcnouncing the statement, and
saying that their names had been procured by
falsehood and outrageous deception; and de.
clarlng themselves, as ever, heart and hand
with the great Republican party.
All is well in st. Mary, you may depend
on it. She will give 1900 majority, at least,
for the glorious Republican party.
Last Saturday there was large and en-
thusiastic meeting at Jeanarettes and clubs
are forming daily throughout the parish-ai
Franklin, Pattersonville, and other towns
and settlements.
Yours truly, RADICAL.

Iant Captain Caillaux and his companions a.
a sacrifice on the altar of the country
| (Great applause.) Governor Hahn stated
that Seymour, If elected, would oYerturn
all reconstruction and ignore the rights
of colored men; but Grant, nominated
in convention which numbered
among its members colored delegates,
and which made a platform of principles
based on equal rights to all classes OF
citizens, would not only recognize their
rights, but establish them on foundation
| which could never be shaken. The soldiers
of the Republic, white and black, under
the lead of Grant, had saved the country,
given freedom and political equality to the
down-trodden and oppressed; but they
knew the victory was not complete until
Grant is elected. Seymour hated the
colored man; in this he carried out Dem
ocratic Prejudices. If elected, colored men
would have no rights he would feel himself
bound to respect; but Grant would make
no discrimination founded on any such
ridiculous and fanatical grounds. The
duties of Republican voters were dwelt
upon at great length, and the mesnness of
the rich planters who sought by unworthy
means to control the votes of their
humble laborers, was fttingly denounced.
The Republicans present!were congratulated
on the efficiency of their organization, and
on their fidelity to principle. 1t would give
him pleasure to bring to the party in New
Orleans glad tidings from Lafourche. He
asked them to hold frequent meetings, and
to keep up their zeal and enthusiasm.
There was but ne.more battle to win, and
all we were'struggling for would be secure.
That we will triumph no sensible man could
doubt. Seymour and Blair had both been
defeated before the people in their own
States within the past few years; but Grant
and ColfaX. know no such word as "fail.'
At the conclusion of the speech Governor
Hahn received a shower of bouquets from
applause from the d" sterner sex.n
After his departure for the cars sev-
eral colored men made speeches
(for a report of which we can not find
space) and the resolution adopted the pre-.
vious day at Raceland, in relation to the
discharge of laborers plantations on
account of their rRepublicanism, was unani-
mously endorsed. The meeting was kept
up to late hour.
Lafourche is aroused. She will roll up an
immense majority for Grant and Colfax.
The Democrats are trying hard to keep their
courage up, but they see the hand writing

Who dares say this is not a great country ?"
That printing billn is one OF the most
terrible bugbears we ever knew.
As we were riding in one of the Rampant
street cars, a few evenings since, we were
forced to listen to conversation in which
a gentleman of mature age impaired to an
other ''confdentially, but most earnestly,
the information that for signing the con-
tract the Governor received serenity thou
sand dollars and the Lieutenant Governor
thirty thousand dollars.
How much the Speaker received is yet in
the dark and our natural timidity deferred
US from inquiry.
But it must have been something hand
some.
1t is rumored that the State Printer de-
manded, as a guarantee of faithful perform
anee, on the part of the State, the mortgage
of all property, real and personal, owned
by the State, and the endorsement of the
State officers and members of the Legisla-
ture, Democrats included.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

PoLITIco.MILITARY.-T or three even,
exhibitions in various parts of the city.
Among others flag presentation to the
Spirits of '68' on Elysian Fields street.
The whole terminated with an united grand
junction march through many Of the prin-
cipal streets. The flag presentation to the
''Spirits" was marked with the usual phen-
omena attending such affairs. Crowds Of
young boys, girls and women, mingled with
comparatively few voters. An old gentle.
man made speech at some length, and with
some ability, though with little success, for
his attempt to gloss over the detection ol
Frank Blair from the ranks of Republican
ism was certainly failure. Afterward the
club marched up Royal street, where it was
joined by the Frank Blair Cadets" This
last club consists of nearly two hundred
able-bodied young men, who, like all these
clubs, show convincing evidence of efficient
military organization. They were uniformed
with black pants, white caps with red bands
white shirts with red fancy cuffs Ia gaunt
lei, and red capes. No uniform could have
more military significance, nor could any
military training be more effective in its
results than the parading of these young
men exhibits.
When preparing to march they were
psraded on Hospital street, facing the south,
The commander on horseback gave the
word of command: Attention left face
shoulder arms march," No soldiers in
the field ever responded more promptly to
the word of command than did these troops
in shouldering the poles on which their
lanterns were mounted. Then the music
struck up and on they went, cleft left
left y in strict military style. Two or three
officers on horseback were distinguished by
broad particolored ribbons worn over the
right shoulder, crossing the breast. Severa
of the cadets who appeared to be in au,
thority, marched at the side of the com
pany, but instead of lanterns carried canes
which they handled like swords, occasion,
ally dressing the lines as they marched
There were no arms uisible, but only mus
kets were needed to make them a mos
efficient military corps. And these cadets
are only specimen of what, at the presen
time, may be seen in the streets of thi
city nearly every night in the week.

INDIANA.-The political news from Indiana
is of particularly encouraging character.
The canvass has opened briskly, and the
Republicans are everywhere making impor
tant gains. Every Republican who went of
with johnson now supports Grant and Col
fax, and the war Democrats are rapidly
facing that way. General Sol. Meredith,
General stillwell, General Grose, Hon. Da-
vid Kilgore, and hundreds of such infuen-
tial men, who we're opposed to us two years
ago, are now doing earnest work for the
Chicago nominations.

Mr. oarr. Of Orleans, thought $500 wal.

Mr.. Carr of Orleans, thought $500 was
little enough for the President.
Mr.. Isabelle, of Orleans, was in favor Of
having respectable men on the Board who
could afford to devote their whole time to
their official duties. The Board have large
duties devolving upon them. He desired to
see men of nerve and men of Judgment on
the Board; and if the salaryi is reduced too
low this class of men can not be secured.
Mr.. Faulkner, of Caldwell: If the argr-
ment that the higher the salary the more
respectable the officer is always good, to pile
up salary as high as this hall would secure a
man of big respeotsbility. have some be-
lief in the respectsbility of patrolmen and
doormen. most heartily endorse the
amendment proposed.
Mr.. Harper, of St. Charles: There seems
to be a continual demand for money
money In the beginning, money in the mid
die, money at the end. Nothing seems to
command our respect unless there is money
in 1t. These large salaries generally do not
command the best men. The salaries paid
should be in proportion to the value of the
services rendered. Rhode Island has had
excellent Governors at salary Of $4,000.
Connecticut has had good members of the
Legislature at two dollars per dsy-perhaps
quite as good as in Louisiana at eight dol
lars per day. l am now talking for the in
terest of the State, and think these salaries
should be reduced.

NOTES IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
new bill having been introduced yester-
day, Mr.. Noble, of Orleans: What is the
title of the bill?
| The Speaker: 1t is mos. all SIC"
| Mr.. Noble: This continual suspension of
the rules to take up new bills while other
bills are unfinished If may be allowed the
expression, is a slovenly way of doing bust.
ness.
The Metropolitan District Police bill being
under consideration, and section thirty-one
being before the House, Mr.. Noble, of Or
leans, said: The burden of tax always falls
upon the poor. If the landlord is taxed
upon his houses, he adds the tax to the rent.
If the grocer is taxed on his goods, he raises
the price of his coffee, sugar, and other
articles. The expenses of the police depart
ment should not exceed $75O,OOo. That is
enough for the entire expenses OF the de-
| partment.
On motion to strike out the word "Con.
| troller" and insert the word Treasurer in
the thirty.seventh section, Mr.. Carr, of Or
leans, stated that his reason for making the
motion was that a new charter would be
introduced shortly doing away with the
Office of Controller.
Mr.. Landers, of Union, moved to strike
out section forty-eight declaring that mem
bers of the metropolitan police force shall
possess, in every part of this State, all
power now conferred by law upon Censta-
bles except for the service of civil process,
and that any warrant for search OF arrest,
issued by any Magistrate of this State, may
be executed in any part thereofby any mem
ber of the police force of the Metropolitan
District. He said he submitted the motion,
not that he objected to the police bill,
as a whole, but he objected to some Of the
features of this particular section. We
have, he said, officers in the interior Of the
State fully competent to perform all the
duties contided to the members Of the po-
lice. The section extends too much power.
He did not consider it proper to clothe with
the power this section confers the officers Of
the metropolitan police outside of the
metropolitan district.
Mr.. Landers, when section forty-ni
was under consideration, authorizing the
Board of Commissioners to offer rewards to
induce all classes Of persons to give informa'
ton which shall lead to the detection, ar
rest, and conviction of persons guilty Of
homicides, arsons, etc., objected to the sec
sion because he regarded it as opening the
wa5 to bribery. Some men would sell their
souls for money, he said.
When section fftytwo came up, fixing
the salaries and compensation of Police
Commissioners, and other officers and EN-
ployes OF the Board of Metropolitan Police
Mr.. Garstksmp, Of Jefferson, said:
l have looked over the section carefully,
and think some of the head ohicers get TOT
much pay compared with the corrOrals; hi
therefore moved to reduce the pay Of thu
Presidento Of the Board from $500 to $1,000

A SETTLEMENT OF THAT EXPRESSED $780,

rest was made. OF course We could not pry
