New Orleans, for surely no Southern COM
munity has Suffered more from these locusts
than ours.
We hail, then, with peculiar satisfaction
the organization of this club and we are very
glad to know that since its organization was
completed it has received such accessions Of
strength as to make it most serviceable
agency, during the pending campaign, in be-
half of the cause represented by the standard
bearers Of the National Democratic party. In
the president of the club, General James B.
Steedman, the Democratic party has de-
fender of the Constitution and laws of the
Union, who. notwithstanding his official en-
gagements, ought to devote all his time and
energies to the advocacy of the principles for
the defense of which he entered the service of
the United States, and in that defense
achieved for himself the rewards which are
always the need of valor, skill and rigid
adherence to the dictates of conscience. Sue

THE UNION CONSERVATIVE SOLDIERS AND

On the ninth instant there was organized in
this city political club under the designation
forming the heading of this article. 1t is not,
| by any means, an extraordinary affair, that
the soldiers and sailors of the United States.
| who offered their exertions and their yery
lives to support the Union and the Constitu-
ton as they stood when the late war COM

tutions for the preservation of which thew
offered so noble sacrifice. Throughout the
whole land there is not State, nor town.

ton of gallant men who are unwilling to ad-
NIT that they fought through the war upon
false pretences who are 10th to permit the
object of their sacrifices and efforts to be
entirely thrown away to accomplish the
desires Of the carpet-bag heroes, who have
followed in their wake, like true camp-follow-
ers as they are, to pickup the profitable debris
of the conflict. Those who opposed these
men, who still adhere to the ideas which i'm
PEELED them to the field of battle can respect
them. They have known no shadow Of turn
ing since they first took up arms in defense of
an idea-the unity ofthe nation and universal
respect for the national Constitution. To-day
they see all the objects for which they fought
imperilled. They witness, with vexation and
modification, such as pass the limits of ex-
preston, so willful disregard, on the part of

possible for them to maintain silence. Ac-
cordingly they have spoken, in terms sufi-
GENTLY explicit, wherever they have
met TO consider the issues of the
hour. The soldiers and sailors who
volunteered to preserve the Union, did not
offer themselves as tame and docile instru-
ments Of the party that now controls Con-
gress, and that desires to perpetuate its con-

the country. They now see the fruits of their
sacrifice attempted to be stolen away by a
horde Of miscreants with whom they have |
never held any companionship, and for whom |
their only feelings are those Of unbounded con-

pulse to resist their evil Vaccinations, by ex-
posing them to the world, and by declaring
that they would have neither lot ncr part in |
them? All over the country they are disavow-

THE sEroRr OF A rALLts DEspor.

/ One of the sublimest Of satires was uttered
with the dying breath of one of the meanest
of the Roman emperors. Tacitus relates
that when Vitellius, after his fall, was stag
gering under the blows and imprecations of
the mob, he replied to tribune who tainted
him with his misery, Nevertheless have
been your emperor" If he was so vile and
detestable wretch, what was to be thought
of the people who had accepted him as their
ruler, who had paid him honors only little
lower than those accorded to the gods, and
with whom his edicts had been as unques-
self?
There is something in this historical ex-
ample that comes home with terrible signifi-
canoe to the case of the American people in
relation to the rule which has been over them
for the past several years. However indig-
nantly they may repudiate this rule here
after, history viii adjudge them to have been
partners in its shame. The whole combina-
ton Of knaves and fanatics who have been
marrying, plundering and running the coun-
try, are destined doubtless to fall from their
opprobrious eminence and sound the lowest
depths of popular execration and contempt.
But in THAT event may they not all retort
upon the people, as vitellius retorted upon
the insulting tribune: Nevertheless, we
have been your rulers. We have had despotic
sway in your land. We have done our will
with your laws, with your government, with
your money, with your very bodies in war or
peace, and for years you were Jealous and
proud to do our bidding. You bowed down to
lift us to supreme authority, as an elephant
kneels to let his puny rider mount Had you
not been selfabased, we had not been exaIt-
ed. If we have been architects of the coun-
try's ruin, you have furnished us with the
implements and the materials for the work.
Foolish, blind, impious, mad, profigate and
reckless as our rule may have been, what is it
in all these aspects but a reflection of your
own imsge?"
The Roman tribune had no answer for
the Overwhelming retort of Vitellius. Are
the American people any better prepared to
meet like retort from their fallen despots?
The sequel showed that the Roman mob.
willing to change tyrants, was incapable Of
destroying tyranny. What will the sequel
show in the case of the American people ?
They have it in their power not only to hurI
from power their present detestable rulers.
but to drive despotism to its last covert and
extrpate it from the land. Will they do

1t will be seen that the total vote was ILL.,
$50 in GA Ill, 6S4 in '66, and 103, LOG in 'e7.
In &c the Republican vote was greater than
the real Radical strength, and in 81 it
was much less. The Democratic vote last
year was nearly full, but II, 900 voters who
may be supposed to have been Republicans,
staid at home. These will nearly all come
out tomorrow, and far the larger proportion
of them will, i. is likely, support the Repub-
lcan ticket. If the Democrats get half of
them, they will gain handsomely on the vote
of ga and yet very little on the vote of last
year. We may look, however, for hand
some increase in the Democratic vote, and we
should not be surprised to see it reach 50, 900
or $1,000; but even this could leave Radical
majority of about $1,000. We caution our
friends to prepare for some such result as
this and we assure them that such a result
would, properly considered, be very encour-
aging instead of depressing in its influences.
On the other hand, the noble, earnest work of
the Democracy may possibly be rewarded by
nearer approach to a victory. The effect of
the financial question on the industrial popula-
ton of Maine ought to be vely great but we
have no means of estimating its extent at
present. In two days we shall know the re-
suit and, till then we can afford to anticipate
nothing more than good fight, and a per-
ceptible reduction of the Republican majority
from the figures of 1864.

MAINE.

The election to take place in Maine, on
Monday next, is regarded with great interest
throughout the country, and it will certainly
be vigorously contested. Each party will do
its best The Republicans to maintain, and il
possible, augment their numerical preponder-
l ance The Democrats to reduce the large
| majorities by which, for the last twelve years,
| they have almost invariably been beaten.
Taking this as a point of view, the result is
extremely doubtful OF course the Republic
cans will carry the State. This point is con-
coded in advance. 1t is not, therefore, in the
expectation of positive success that the DEM
ocrats have made so energetic canvass; that
they have made almost every town in the State
the scene of q mass meeting; that they have
invited and obtained the cooperation of many
of the ablest Democrats from other States.
The fact that these strenuous exertions have
been made without any reasonable prospect
Of carrying the State-without any certainty
of even seriously diminishing the Republican
majority, shows the activity, the zeal and the
devotion of the Democracy.
Maine was formerly one of the surest DEM
ocratic States. Except when swept by the
opposition hurricane of 1910, it never, until
1856, voted against the Democratic party,
and upon this substratum of Democratic
feeling is built the only hope of making any
serious impression on the Republican
strength. In 1856 the State TUNED over to
the Republicans, and has gone for that party
regularly every year since then. In the Sep
TENDER election of IS Hamlin was elected
governor by 1900 majority, and this as
founding result induced the Herald to predict
the election of Fremont. Yet, in October,
both Pennsylvania and Indiana went Demo-
cratic, as, likewise, did Illinois in November.
The Republican majority since that time has
been about 10, 600 in well-contested elections,
except in '66, when it rose to nearly 2S, 600.
Last year it was only IL, oOO showing an ap-
parent Democratic gain of 1900. This gain,
however, was more specious than real, as
will be seen from the following comparison of
returns for "a, '66 and 81:

Col Dolbear has favored the CRESCENT with
well printed catalogue of his long-estab-
hshed and very deserving college. This insti-
tuition has been chartered by the Legislature,
and has agricultural and mechanical as well
as commercial and general departments. Its
capital stock is $3.50, 1000, and its location, the
spacious building opposite the City Hotel and
corner of Camp and Common streets. Col.
Dolbear makes an exhibit of bis own terms as
compared with the terms Of other colleges in
this country. The difference in favor of his
establishment in economy. both of time and
money, is wonderful.

One of the most terrible and horrifyinp
pieces of intelligence which it has ever been
our duty as journalists to record is that con-
tanned in our news from South America.
Imagination stands aghast at the extent and
swiftness Of the dreadful calamity which has
befallen the people of the States of Peru and
Fcuador-a calamity unequaled by one of its
kind since the great earthquake at Lisbon, in
1855, when 10000 persons were believed to
have persisted in the short space of six
minutes. The next terrible disaster of the
kind occurred in 1912 at Caracas, which
city, together with $4,000 of its inhabitants,
was entirely destroyed. In 1857 an earth
quake in the kingdom of Naples destroyed
large number of lives, yariously estimated at
$4,000 to 10000. A work published by Prof.
Mallet, of the Alabama University, in 1858
complies catalogue of nearly eOOo earth
quakes, of which the most disastrous was one
in the year 52e, at Antioch, in Syria, when.
according to Gibbon, 25O,OOO persons ara
said to have persisted.

We are rejoiced to learn that Rev. W. II.
Plat, of Louisville, an eloquent preacher and
a poet of no mean abilities, is now in our city.
He will be remembered by many of our young
men as having officiated during the war in the
Episcopal Church at Petersburg during the
seige OF that town. Since the war Mr.. Plat
has resided in Louisville. At one time, about
a year ago, he was expected to have taken
charge of Christ Church, as its assistant rec
tor, but the affair was never accomplished.
He viii preach, we understand, this morning
at Trinity Church, on Jackson street. 1t has
never been our good fortune to hear Mr.
Platt though, from a perussl of his poems,
we acknowledge the Almighty has endowed
him with no common genius. We trust
that his stay in our city viii be very pleasant
one.

An English magazine, the Economist, in a
review Of the action of the Democratic nomi-
mating convention, displays a very English
like ignorance of matters here by abiding to
our second candidate as "Colonel" Blair.
Another English weekly, the Saturday Re-
view, calls him "Mr." Blair, and says he Twas
conspicuous during the war as the agent ordi-
narily selected by Mr.. Lincoln to negotiate
with the Southern leaders," The same maya
zine favors the election of Seymour as the
best thing for the country, but thinks that the
chances are in favor of Grant, and says that
the vote of Pennsylvania will decide the
election.
