CONFUSION OF TIE OBsTRUOTIvBs.

Under whatever name the numerous
factions opposed to the Radical Republican
party may rally, whether as Democrats,
" Conservatives" or " Union Republicans"
they may certainly be designated as OBJ
structives, since their efforts are mainly
directed TO retarding the progress Of Re
publican principles and preventing the re-
instatement OF Louisiana in ali the rights
and privileges of one of the states Of the
Union.
These factions are now diviled among
themselves, and their individual members
are in sore confusion and disnay. This is
attested by the fact that they can not make
nominations of a full state or parish ticket
without the announcement being followed
by a series OF ''cards'; from gentlemen
who disavow connection with the parties
supposed to make the nominations.
In one object only are these factions
united, aud that is in earnest, though by
some of them secret opposition to the rati-
fication of the new constitution, and a fixed
and unaltelable determination to defeat the
regular nominations Of the Radical Repub-
lican PARTY of Louisiana. In this respect
we know where to find the obstructives
They mean only hostility to the principles
that govern the Republican party of
Louisiana, which foz;sss an integral part of
the Republican party of the United States.
But they are ambitious as well as venom
Gus, and unless they can devise some
method Of harmonizing their conflicting
personal divisions, their vanlting ambition
may overlap itself. Time viii settle that
point
But the Republicans @ho advo-
cate the ratification Of the consti-
tuition aud support the regular candi-
dates of the Radical Republican party will
not be wise If they underrate the political
power of their opponents. They may 60

doubtful honors thrust upon them until at

MORE TROUBLE AMONG THE BoLrBRs

MORE TROUBLE AMONG THE BOILERS
There is another row in the camp of the
boilers. To-day one more of the radical
prodigals who wandered off in the path of
Taliaferro and Dumas, the Tribune and
Times, Wells and Cutler, discovered that
his leaders were taking him into the domin-
ion of treason and rebellion, and, like an
honest Republican, has written an exposi-
ton of the dangerous course of the boilers
and their rebel allies. When the document
is signed by several others who were, like
himself, tempted into the snares of the enc
mics of the radical cause, we will give the
document to our readers. 'If the walls
fall at this rate, how long will it be before
the roof falls in p

The RebellIous Pc opIe.

The Providence Journal has a we'll
written editorial on the Alabama election,
and the hostility Of the rebel element to
the new constitution and readmission under
it into the Union. The article closes thus /:
Let the people of the rebel states remain
as they are till they are ready to give up
their sullen Indifference, to repress their
Iebellious obstnaey, and act IN some
slight degree as if they were citizens of the
United States, and owed allegiance to the
government. With their present temper.
whether reconstructed or not, the people of
many Of the Southern states can be kept in
order only by the presence Of force. They
will not accept the freedom and equality of
the negro save as they are compelled to do
SO. They will eDslave him again if they
are able; they will Cypress him, cheat him,
frighten him, and keep him down in all pos
sible ways so soon as the military authority
is withdrawn from protecting him. unless
they are made to see that they will suffer
by 1t. Desirable, therefore, as reconstruc-
ton cenfessedly is, we almost despair Of
seeing it accomplished till the people Of
the South have learned in suffering, the du-
ties and necessities which their situation
imposes upon them. Never were a people
more thoroughly enslaved to their own
prejudices, never did people so perversely
stand in the way of their own best good
and their most obvious advantage. For
the sake of preventing negro suffrage, they
will forego every social interest, and pro-
long for themselves indefinitely the poverty
and humiliation which they have it in their
power to greatly relieve. If they so greatly
prefer the government of major generals,
let them have it to their satisfaction. 1t is
Of little use to treat them as loyal when
they have no thought of being so,

The 81. Louis Democrat Of Monday says:
The movement of grain down the Missis-
sippi to the various markets of the world
goes steadily forward. A direct Liverpool
order for 10000 bags of white corn is now
Killing, and Messrs. Hole, Jones d Co., and
Messrs. McFadden q Simmons, of Havana,
Illinois, have $4,000 bushels of number one
mixed en- route for New York via New
Orleans. The steamer Illinois brought
this latter lot down in couple of barges
on Saturday evening, and it has been
turned over to the Mississippi Valley
transportation company to forward. About
twenty thousand bushels of it is sacked.
The freight from Havana to New York "a
through bill of lading being given) is to be
32c., per bushel. If our elevator company
bere will erect good corn drier at once,

increased thousand Iold the next twelve.

The St Louis Republican of the 18th in
slant, in the interest Of passenger steam
boats, says;
The exceedingly low rates of freight to
New Orleans, established last week and
continued to this have resulted in the
barge company Withdrawing from the
SIGHT, thus proving conclusively what has
always been claimed by practical and ex-
perienced boatmen, that freight could not
be carried as cheap by barges as by steam
ers. In the afternoon number of gentle
men, representing the Atlantic and Missis-
sippi steamship line and the various indie
pendent steamers, met In caucus on board
the steamer Bismarck to devise some
remedy for the present useless and ruinous
competition, and to establish, if possible,
"a mode Of transaeting business that, while
it would afford the shipper as low a rate
as was compatible with justice, would af-
ford some remuneration to the boat owners
for the capital invested. Several plans
were suggested and argued in favor Of, but
at dark nothing had been decided. One
plan proposed was that the steamers Ruth,
w. r. rthuT, Olive Branch, Pauline Car
roll, and Continental, OF the Atlantic and
Mississippi steamship line, and the indie
pendent steamers Mollie Able, Bismarck,
Great Republic, Lizzie Gill, and Common
wealth, should form a line irrespective Of
all other organizations, each loading in
turn from the Leyiathan wharf boat+-the
ten steamers named to be governed by a
committee of arbitration, composed Of three
gentlemen appointed, one by the Atlantic
and Mississippi steamship line,and the Others
by the Independent boats. The ten boats
named are large carrying vessels, and it is
thought that il this plan is adopted low
and cheap rate can be guaranteed shippers,
and at the same time give the boats
chance to make little money.

The Potency or GRANTS Name.

The Democratic journals through the
country are now claiming that the New
Hampshire Republicans saved themselves
from defeat by fighting under a Grant flag.
Had it not been for the potency Of his
name they assert that Sinclair would have
been elected governor by decided major
ity. There is no doubt considerable truth
IN this declaration, though we are surprised
that journals which have undertaken to
prove that Grant was no general, and Of
but little account either way, should now
put forward such damaging plea.
The New Hampshire Republicans every
where unfurled Grants colors to the
breeze. Radicals took refuge under them,
and ably seconded by he labors Of Blair,
Burr, Brick Pomeroy b Co.. vanquished
their opponents. General Grants name
will be d tower Of strength in other states,
counteracting the evil elects and prevent
ing the disasters which would otherwise
follow to the party from extreme radical
