ALL THE oHIvALRY.

The K. c. S. gentlemen on their way
home the other evening from Lafayette
square showed their elegant breeding and
nice sense Of kuightIy courtesy by saIuting
the REPUBLICAN ONCE with groans. They
are the ehivalry, however, the party OF
gentlemen, they constantly assure us. II
any Republican procession had thus greet
ed the Camp street organs how the latter
would have denounced the low, vulgar
blackguards; but If the chivalry are guilty
Of the same acts, it is Of course all right.
We recommend you, gentlemen K. G.
So, to aPrudept husbandry of your groans
Ha the election. There will be good
many Seymourners just after that event,
and grOans WILDE in requisition.

SENATOR MILLER, OF GEORGIA,

We bad a statement by telegraph the
other day to the effect that DR.. Fl. V. NJ
Miller, one of the Senators elect of Georgia
is in favor of Seymour and Blair. There
is reason to doubt this, or at least he is in
favor of The Congressional plan of recon
struction which Seymour and Blair oppose
In proof Of what we say read the follow
ing from the Atlanta (Ga) Ne,o Era:
He has all the while favored an accept
ance OF the Congressional plan of recon
struction. He advocated convention, and
was elected member of the same from
this county as a reconstructionist. In the
convention he labored ardently and with
great ability, cooperating with that party
which sought TO restore the State to the
Union. He favored the ratification of the
ported General Gordon for Governor. He
is now directly in favor of a continuation
of the organization of the State upon the
present basis, and is opposed to the destruc
ton of the work as it now stands.
Thus it appears that the Democratic tri-
umph in Georgia is no triumph at all.
Joshua Hill is out and out for Grant and
Oolfax, and Miller supports the measures
of Congre
But of course the Seymour organs won't
say word more about Hill and Miller.
Nor will they let their readers know that
Judge Chase is for Grant, or that General
Sherman i'd for Grant, or hundred others
Of the greatest and best men in the country
are for Grant.
They make it rule to publish nothing
which will show their readers how strongly
the tides set in for Grant and Colfax. Their
readers will learn the facts ere. long in spite
Of them.
We conversed day or two lince with a
Democrat from Chicago, who informed US
that he had never cast a Republican vote
in his life, but that he shall vote, if he live,
for Grant and Colfax.

SILLY AND INnENDIARY.

One Of the silliest and most incehdiary
articles we have ever seen in print ap
peared yesterday in the Ptcqyu,e. Il
charges that the falling Of the platform in
Lafayette Square on the previous evening
was caused by the saving of its timbers
and that this was done by some malicious
Radicals in order to crush Rollins and
bis friends. A gentleman who saw
the article went early yesterday
morning and made careful examination
of the wreck, aud assures us that there was
not the least trace of anything upon which
such a charge could be based. 1t is an
atrecious calumny, as puerile as it is ma.
ligaant and devilish. Its ui1inus is uu-
mistakeable, and patent upon the face Of it.
1t was meant to stir up strife. 1t
was designed to excite the pas
sonis of the unthinking against the
Republican party, under the impression,
probably, that outbreaks and a reign of ter
ror would help the secession cause in this
city and State.
1t is true that secession fourished in the
South seven years ago under the rule of
and the idea is, perhaps, enter
tanned that il would be benefited by SINH
lar condition of society. But circum-
stances have a good deal changed, and
though our opponents might gain some
temporary success by a resort to such
means, the inevitable reflex wave would be
terrific. II would. bury the plotters and
their work in political grave from which
here would be no resurrection.
As to the billingsgate which the Picu-
}lne applies to the Republican party, We
nave no reply to make. 1t is simply be-
meath contempt.

Governor Morton, at Indianapolis, said
If the Democratic party should succeed in
November, slavery would be restored.
Chief Jus lice Chase said if Seymour
should be elected, all that was gained by
the war would be lost. Wade Hampton,
in his speech at Charleston, says substau-
TALLY the same thing. The platform COM
mittee told Hampton the South should have
everything it desired, but said it would not
do toput that in the platform. He accepted
the pledge on condition that these words
be added 10 the eighth resolution: sand
we declare that the reconstruction acts are
revolutionary, unconstitutional, and void"
This was agreed to. "When I proposed
that" says Hampton, "every member of the
committee came forward and said they
would carry 1t out to the end"

Board of Police Commissioners will give the
Pic. an opportunity, and call upon it for its
evidence. Let the matter be probed to
the oore. If any policemen knew Of any
such plot and did not take measures to
prevent it, let them be gibbeted in the
sight of the whole community. So grave a
charge, coming from paper protesting the
highest responsibility, is well calculated
TO shake public confidence in the police,
and justice and the interests of the public
require the most rigid investigation. Let
the Pic, we repeat, have an opportunity
to prove its charge or retract it, or be
branded as libeler

THE NEW REIGN OF TERROR.
KILLING COLORRD MEN In MADISON,
Republicans Fleeing to De Soto.
Grant Men Threatened by Guerrillas

A letter has been received from Madison
parish, dated August 4, which gives fur
ther information of the killing of colored
men, and the burning of their houses. Ey-
cry man from the BEND has to be on the
watch all night to protect his life from the
rebel guerrillas, and men belonging to the
Republican party are being murdered.
All the colored men in the remote parts Of
the parish are coming to De Soto.
Threats are being made that every man
who votes for Grant will be killed by guer-
rillss, and there are indications that an
organization is being formed to exterminate
the Republicans.

THE PROPOSITION FOR A STATE LOAN

| LID EhuG Oo144Oh run GIAIh LUAhi
The proposition for a State loan al
brought forward by the Ways and Means
Committee of the House seems to be meet
ing general favor. In proof of this, We
quote the following from yesterdays Ores
cent, and commend it to the careful consider
alton Of our readers;
A very great step will be made toward
placing the State in o normal aud satisfac-
| tory position when some definite provision
is made for disem barrassing it of the pres.
| sure of its floating debt, amounting to about
$4,000. 600, and for satisfying, Without on.
pressive taxation, its immediate financial
wants. Until such a step is taken, any
state government, let its political character
be never sd acceptable, must be in one vital
point failure. Intelligent citizens OF
whatever politics agree in this conclusion.
They know that the taxpayers are not
In situation to bear the necessary
taxation tp extinguish this floating debt,
and yet they also know that to let it run
IN Its present shape is a scandal to the fame
and stain to the credit of the State, Sand
Will plunge the State finances in still deeper
embarrassment fro m year to year. What,
then, is the remedy? 1t has been suggested
by some OF our soundest finanoiers to solve
the difficulty by comprehensive loan, in
INC shape 81 ponds maturing in forty years,
at six per cent semiannuaI Interest. and
payable, principal and interest, in gold.
This loan, It Is proposed, shall include, be-
sides the funding of the floating debt the
receipt of about 50 600. 900 in national chr.
rency, to be applied for Ieyee purnoses. and
to the satisfaction of exigent and legitimate
financial needs. For State less bonntifnllv
endowed with material resources sncb q
draft upon its future might seem to he of
doubtful honesty as well as wisdom. Rnt
Louisiana has too rich a future to he amena.

As might have been expected, the letter
of Governor Warmoth to the President
has drawn the cork from every Democratic
vial of wrath.
- SO long as the Governor very properly
and eloquently upheld by word and action
Che right Of Democratic orators of every
hue to freely speak, and especially to ira
: duce and Willy him in every known figure
ofrhetoric.- the Democratic press was loud
in bis praise.
The moment he appeared as the advocate
of the right of free thought and unbiased
action on the part of Republicans as well,
and throughout the State at large, the Dem.
oeratic press is loud in its condemnation.
In this way do our opponents think to
play their iavorite game Of "Heads, I win ;
tails, you lose."
And herein lies the whole theory Of the
Democratic campaign. For the free speech
and unlettsred action Of their own party,
they will fight, if necessary, with the GIN
let-knife and the dagger. But free speech
and unfettered action for Republicans will
never do, interfering as it must with the
design to carry the State for Seymour.
That design is deeply laid, but no amount
OF hypocrisy can conceal its outlines. The
mole may burrow never so softly, but
Its track may be distinguished by
the upheaved line of turf II the lead
ling Republicans of each parish caa be
slain, burnt out, and driven away, if every
such man capable of organizing political
campaign, making good speech, or edit
ing an instructive newspaper can be thus
disposed Of II the mass of colored voters
can be bullied and harassed until as mat
ter of personal safety they will stay away
from thepoils, the State may be carried for
the Democracy.
With Tree speech, an opportunity of dis
'cussion, and a merely decent show of fair
. ness ct the polls the State is as sure to 90 |
for Grant as the ides Of November are sure |
to come.
We get no facts from the Democratic |
preas in reply to the specifications Of .the |
Governors letter, for the simple reason
that there are none 10 offer. he is the
highest officer of the State, be has many |
sources Of information, he is in constant
receipt Of official letters from every parish. |
and his mere statements as the Executive |
Of the State are ct least entitled to |

than mere statements. His charges in |
regard to st. Landry parish are based
Upon the letters Of the District Attorney,
