The ADVICE OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE

No extended comment on the address of
the Democratic Central Committee, in another
column, is needed. The advice whichit gives
as TO how our people should conduct them
selves from this time until the great trial at
the ballot box in November, is q formal and
emphatic reiteration of what the CRESCENT
and other arti-Radical journals have already
and repeatedly urged.
The announcement which it makes that the
steps taken by the committee to agree with
the representatives of the Radical party in this
State upon plan for securing peaceful can
yass have failed through the persistent evasion
of those representatives, is unwelcome but
not surprising. There is no longer room to
doubt that the Radical leaders, in order to
strengthen their failing cause in the North,
are anxious to bring on a collision of races
here and elsewhere in the Soath and they
would rejoice in wholesale slaughter of their
colored dupes and myrmidons, believing that
such an event would decide the election in
their favor. The supreme expediency of eau
ton, forbearance and patience to the last
extremity. on the part of Southern Democrats
and Conservatives, under wrongs and provoca-
tons, is therefore obvious

THE ATTAKAPAs,

Any one of our citizens who wishes to es-
cape from the heat, dust and care of the CITY
for short time can hardly do better than
make flying tripup the beautiful and dreamy
Teche as far as New Iberia He may have an
early breakfast and leave the ferry landing at
precisely halfpast o'clock opposite the Cathe-
dral near jackson Square. From Algiers to
Brashear eighty miles he will pass in four
hours, over the best managed road in Amer
lea, in roomy cars, with plenty of cold water
furnished every half hour or oftener, without
dust, passing over no bridges or trestlework,
and seeing some of the most charming prairie
and plantation scenes to be witnessed in Lon
isiana. AT Brashear he will be taken in hand
by Capt. Trinidad of the Warren Belle. or
Capt Broad of the Anna and soon be going
up the wide and silvery Atchafalaya
with the dolphins from the Gulf roll
ing, pitching and tumbling around the
steamer. He will dine luxuriantly where
good old creole custom of claret is still re-
tanned. He will soon be in the Teche and as
long as daylight lasts his eyes will have
continual feast of beauty. The beauty of the
Teche cannot be improved by the imagina,
ton. No description can do it justice Art
has not marred its native loneliness and it is
just as charming and sweet as when Evanpe-
line looked out upon it with dark and hope
full eyes. 1t is never dry and is always navi-
gable for vessels of six hundred tons. 1t has
no levees and its banks are never overlooked.
The oak, the orange the bois dare the Cher
okee rose and the cypress dip their leaves in
its clear waves. A little back from the bank
lie the fine plantations which have made St.
Mary garden. The longer the excursionist
looks the more enchanted he becomes with
the gorgeous display of beauty and he con-
tinues to feast until the sun sinks into Grand
Lake and the frefies CLEAN among the rose
bushes on the banks

The members of independent clubs. while
taking measures to make their usefulness as
such as great as possible, should not forget
that there is an imperative duty resting upon
each one of them which demands to be dis
charged before any other political obligation.
We refer to the registering Of their names at
the central club of the ward in which they
may reside. This should be done because IL
is from the rolls of these clubs that the party
in the State can make their only sure calcula-
ton of their numerical strength, because these
clubs are the only channels of communication
with voters acknowledged and used by the
central committee, because the money con-
tributed by their members is devoted to the
furtherance of the direct interests Of the party.
and because, while in no whit losing their full
membership of any independent club to which
they may be attached, voters so registered ac-
qulre the right to voice in the deliberations
of the party of which they would otherwise
be deprived. This last reason is very cogent.
just now that an election for delegates to a
party convention is at hand, as none but reg
istered members of the ward clubs will be al
lowed to vote for delegates. We commend
this subject to the independent organizations
of the city and earnestly urge upon every
officer Of such clubs to use his best endeavors
both by example and otherwise, to have every
member of his club duly registered at the
central ward club.

The New York Herald still continues to
write inefable twaddle about the pretended
intrigue which resulted in the nomination Of
Seymour. One Brown, of Kentucky, first
made his little statement and now Mr.. Alex
ander Long, of Cincinnati, follows with an
awful revelation, so that we have had the
short and the long of the whole matter
Brown argues that Chase was swindled out of
the nomination, because the convention
chose to nominate somebody else; but his
whole story shows that the so-called "Chase
movement was disreputable intrigue from
beginning to end, so far as Brown and his
Radical allies were concerned. Long an
nounces as something very terrible that few
of the Ohio delegation, and some New York
gentlemen agreed to bring forward Governor
Seymour's name and did bring it forward
without that gentleman's participation or
knowledge. The convention unanimously
seconded the nomination and made Governor
Seymour the candidate-all of which was
known to the members of the convention and
to the whole country before Brown and Long
opened their mouths. This is the whole his
tory of the pretended intrigue.

NO sEPrEMBER SESSION.

1t is now stated that there will be no Sep
TENDER session of Congress. The decision of
the question was left to General Schenck of
Ohio and Senator Morgan of New York, and
these estimable representatives of Radical
ism have, it seems, come to the conclusion
that another session of the present Congress
would not pay expenses The predicsment is
certainly very embarrassing, and the problem
very difficult of solution for men who are
placed between the "devil and the deep sea.
On the one hand there is imminent danger of a
crushing defeat of Grant and Colfax CARPET
baggeIy in all the Southern States. There is
peril to scalawaggery, and almost a certainty
that the cunningly devised scheme of recon-
struction will fail to fulfill the objects with
which it was put in operation. All the news
that goes up from the South is discouraging
TO the "trooly loil cause. Loyal Leagues
are reported to be in a state of disintepration.
Carpet baggers and scalawags are quarreling
over the spoils and emoluments of
Office. The "loil politicians who look
forward few months are deserving the 'loil"
banner Grant and Colfax electors decline to
serve any longer in the ranks of the Radical
party, and the negroes are beginning to see
that their true interests require them to
ally themselves with the white people of
the South. These things began to mani.
fest themselves before the adjournment
of Congress. The newly chosen carpet
baggers who invaded that body before the
end of the session, were clamorous for some
sort Of e1pedient. some new invention of
legislative legerdemain to enable them to

re ain power IN their respective States, and, IL
tteir despair, they demanded that Congress
should arm their party, in order that they
might cary the election by force. Since that
time the proofs of a sweeping Democratic re-
action at the South have become overwhelm-
ing. 1t is now conceded that every Southern
State, except, possibly, South Carolina and
Florida, viii vote for Seymour. But mean
while, the evidence of an equally sweeping
Democratic reaction at the North has become
too plain to be disregarded.
And this Democratic reaction has been
caused. to great extent, by this very scheme
of reconstruction, with its concomitant in
famies of military despotism and negro su-
premacy, on which the Radicals relied to
assure themselves of the vote of the Southern
States in the electoral college A certain
amount of odium they were willing to incur
certain measure of infamy they thought
could be offset by the use of Grants name, by
reviving the cant phrases of "loilty" and
rebellion" and by reckless and persistent
system of falsehood in regard to the spirit and
intentions of the Southern people. But it has
now become plain to them that they erred in
the assumed elements of their problem. They
have incurred in the North itself a well nigh
ruinous odium on account of this Southern
policy, and the people turn with contempt and
horror from the effort to awake the brutal
passions and vindictive resentments of the
war.
Here, then, is the dilemma. The Southern
States are irrecoverably lost unless Congress
should resort to some extraordinary measure
either to force them to vote for Grant, or to
prevent them from voting for Seymour But
the people are so sick and tired and disguised
with the whole business of Radical recon-
neutrality-suspicious. scalawaggery, ''va-
grant and mendicant loilty," negro supremacy,
military despotism and all-that any further
extraordinary measures would only assure the
defeat which is now so imminent. Moreover,
September session would call from their
field of labor the large number of Radical
Congressman who are now working assidu-
ously for reelection. They argue that by go
ing to Washington they would not benefit the
party, whilst they would certainly ruin their
own prospects; but if they remain at home,
they may possibly save themselves out of the
impending and general crash of Radicalism.
These considerations have probably prevailed
with Gen. Schenck, and hence it has been de-
cided not to call a September session of Con-
gress. rpet-baggery will have to take its
chance in November without any further aid
from the Radical Congressional directory az
Washington.

The Republican Of this city in an article
yesterday morning, calls on its followers to
initiate the decorum of the great Democratic
procession, and in another part accuses the
Democrats of having " shouted and yelled in
a "most disreputable manner" We suppose
that it is reputable only FOR Radical carpet
baggers, soalawags and negroes to shout and
yell just as nobody can be "trooly loil"
unless he votes the Radical ticket. However
whether the Democratic shouting and yelling
of Saturday week was reputable or disreputa-
BILE, it was nothing to the great Democratic
shout which viii go up from all parts of the
country after the Sd of November next.
