PosTPONING REGISTRATION.

The Radical majority of the Alabama Legis-
Radical electors next November for that State,
not long since passed bill providing that the
slvvtUIs siIvuid DO appointed by the Leglsla-
ture. This bill the governor vetoed De-
feated in the attempt to take the election into
their own hands, and not doubling that DEM
ocratic electors would be chosen by the popu-
lar vote, they resolved that there should be
no election at all, and had the hardihood to
adjourn without passing the registry act
required by the Constitution. They were to
meet the day following the November cleo
ton, fact showing clearly it was to delay
compliance with the Constitution in regard to
registry until that event was passed, and the
vote of the State for President and Vice
President lost.
The governor, impressed with some sense
of constitutional obligation, could not see
this scandalous laches on the part of the
Legislature without endeavoring to correct it.
Accordingly, as the telegraph states, he has
issued proclamation converting that body
for the purpose of passing registry bill
But there is no certainty that it will be done
or done in time for the coming election. The
governor can call the Legislature together,
but he cannot compel it to legislate in obe-
dience to the Constitution.
The shilly-shallying of the two Houses OF
the Louisiana Legislature on the subject of a
registry bill which they are required by the
Constitution to pass at their first session, "in
order to entitle" electors to vote, is well cal.
culated to suggest a suspicion that the Radi.
cal majorities in this body desire to postpone
defnitive action in this matter until too late
for a registration of voters to be effected be-
fore November. If they do not come to g
conclusion in few days, this suspicion will
| become conviction

When the members OF the present council took
meis-~--.-- reform was TO be the order of the day
aud an amazing amourt OF ~---rr --as disDlayed
In talking.
Among the very first things that claimed their
attention was the dilapdated condition OF the raii-
ing around Lafayette Square. Mr.. Shields NITRO
duced resolution providing for its repair. bot It
found its way TO some committee, aud has prooa-
bly, been resting in an obscure pigeon hole ever
since.
Meanwhile the unsightly gap remains an eve
sore TO the people, and sad commentary upon
the energy OF the city officials.
Cannot some patriotic alderman, burning with a
desire 70 immortalize himself. make rush at this
matter and put it through promptly II Thursday
Evening Picayune.
Our neighbor should be little more care
full in its statement. The contract to repair
the railing around Lafayette Square has been
duly adjudicated by the controller to MIR. Jno.
Clark for the sum of 1895, which adjudica-
tion was approved by the Board of Assistant
Aldermen on Tuesday night last. Be little
more careful, neighbor. This is not the first
time that you have proved scold without
cause. Be sure you are right before you turn
on steam.

Some weeks ago a paragraph appeared in
one of our city contemporaries, stating son
good authority that Z. H. Durell, judge of the
United States District Court for Louisiana"
had been arrested in New York, and held in
confinement for several hours, at the instance
of an individual in Boston, who had some
reason to complain of Judge Durell in his
official capacity" The paragraph went on to
state that the arrest was made at the break
fast table of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Judge
Durell being in company with j. P. Sullivan,
ESQ.,, well known lawyer of that city, Z" who
procured bail in the sum of fifty thousand dol
lars, after which the prisoner was released ,"
At the time of the publication of the fore
going statement, we had no doubt our con-
temporary had been made the unwilling and
unconscious victim of a malicious misrepre-
sentation. 1t was with that impression that
we republished the statement in the columns
of the Crescent, knowing that the one paper
or the other would be read in New York, and
the refutation made by some one of Judge
Durelrs friends in that city. Our expectation
was not unfounded. A gentleman, in whom
the most implicit reliance can be placed,
writes that the paragraph in question had not
the shadow of foundation.
We trust our contemporary will make the
appropriate retractation in favor of gentle-
man of the high position, the learning and
ability of Judge E. H. Durell.

WHAT WE HAVE To EXPECT.

The senator recently elected to seat by
the Senate committee on elections, P. B. S.
Pinchback, made yesterday speech, which,
we think, may be taken as an indication OF
how far the teachings of the Radicals have
prepared the colored people for those scenes
of bloody turbulence which it is the policy Of
the Republican party in the South at once
and by any means to initiate. Pinchback
said, amongst other Things, that were drop
of "loyal" blood shed in this city, the ne
groes of New Orleans, who, though without
arms, have at least torches, will lay the town
in ashes! Now we do not from this utter
ance find any reason to apprehend riot, or
even an attempt at the wholesale incendiarism
thus threatened
The speech was but the raving of self
deceived man, who long cajoled and deluded
by men whose conduct in thus deluding and
fooling is SO despicable as to be below con-
tempt, has at length put into words the
thoughts which the black arts of our enemies
have taught him to think. We cannot either
regard Pinchback's sentiments as representa-
tive of those of all his race. Recent political
demonstrations in the interior of our State
have amply demonstrated that the bulk of our
colored population, now fast awaking from
the long sleep to which the hell-born incanta-
tons OF Radicalism lulled them, are joining
heart and hand with their natural friends and
protectors, the whites. But as the exponent
of the ideas and sentiments of the white Re-
pubiicans of this State, to whom we cannot
but think Pinchbacks speech must be credit
ed, that speech bears peculiar significance.
Grant said, ''Let us have peace" In Tennes-
see his followers illustrate their leaders die
tum by arming $4,000 negroes, in Arkansas
by sending force of negro troops to put
down so-called white rebellion, and in
Louisiana by threatening the metropolis OF
the South with the torch! If this, then, is
Grants peace, we want none of it. But,
thanks be to the Almighty, November is CON-

Last week the Senate passed registration
bill, in which, however, the House refused to
concur. A joint committee of conference was
appointed, who unanimously reported in favor
of the adoption of the Senate bill; accordingly
the House, on Wednesday, by an almost unani-
nous vote, passed the Senate bill and ordered
it sent to the governor for his approval Yes
terday, Morey, of Ouachita. a Radical moved
a reconsideration of the adopting vote, and
that obtained, moved the substitution of the
House bill for the Senate bill, adding as an
excuse for the change, an additional section
or two, Of no real Importance. The House
adopted Morey's motion; so now the affair is
at dead lock, each house adhering toits own
bill Be careful, gentlemen.

WILSON Pooh Mantle New York
Tribune states, as remarkable and praise
worthy fact that Henry Wilson, of Massa-
chusetts, began public life poor and is still
poor This is very remarkable fact, truly,
seeing that all other public men of the Radi-
cal party have managed some how to feather
their own nests well, and at the public ex-
pense But of what concern is it to the pub
lie to know that Henry Wilson is not. like
Chandler, Cameron, Sprague, Washburn,
Ashley, and other Radicals in Congress, a
millionaire. as long as he sustains the profi-
gate policy By whieh-suct men enrich them
selves out of the peoples pockets Let Mr..
Wilson be as poor as he pleases. But the
people are not emulous of poverty. They
want chance to be well off; and that they
can never be under the rule of Mr. Wilson's
party.

UNITING LAKES HURON AND ONrARTO.-It is

acres Of land by the Canadian government. Mr..
Frederiok- CspEs0l, -sof Toronto, has undertaken
the financial management of the enterprise.
some time ago he succeeded in obtaining guar
antees from American capitalists that they would
turnish $40 100000 if the balance should be sub.
scribed in Europe and the land grant secured.
For several months he has been in England and
I is said that his prospects of success in securing
the other 500 600 are very satisfactory. When
that is secured, it will only be necessary to obtain
the land grant before work can be commenced.

PERsoNAL.-We had the sincere pleasure,
yesterday, of meeting our friend and excellent
fellow-citizen, Patrick Irwin, Esq, on the
street. Mr.. Irwin has just got back from so
journ of a few weeks in the rural districts, and
returns in robust health and buoyant spirits.
May his life be prolonged many years, both
for his own and his friends happiness, and for
the advancement of the interests of New Or
leans, which he has always had SO intimately
and SO intelIigently at heart.

TIE ARKANSAS TROUBLE FROM "LorL y
STAND-PONT.-A Little Rock dispatch of Mon
day TO the Radical st. Louis Democrat says !:
Governor Clayton has returned from Lewisburg.
The insurrection has been quoted, the court rein
stated, and business resumed. The difficulty com.
meDced by rebels breaking up the court with an
armed force and disarming Union men.

and took position in o cotton-feld. and whipped
three hundred rebels. Several of the latter were
shot and missing. Union loss none. Governor
Clayton, on arriving, addressed the insurgents,
o. dsriDg them to disperse. Meanwhile. the sheriff
arrived with posse three hundred strong, and
quiet was restored"

HONE MASUFAcToRY.-Few persons are aware
how large and complete a mandatory Of cigars
there in this city. A visit to the establishment
of Geo. Alces's, Eco, at ls5 Rampant street, will
amply crafty the curious. On his extensive nre.
misses, Mr.. Alces has constant employment for Is
or 80 of the most skillful cigar makers in the
world. They are all men picked from the great
factories in Hsvans and the ease aud celebrity
with which they work is really wonderful. The
tobacco imported in the leaf from Cuba seasoned
and prepared in Mr.. Alces's cellars the different
processes being very interesting. The cedar Of
which the cigar boxes are made is imported from
Cuba-sawed. planed and polished in the estab-
lishment; the labels are autographed and printed
there, and in fact everything connected with the
manufacture and packing Of cigars is done on the
premises.
We have never smoked purer or better cigars
than those made by Geo. Alces. They equal the
finest that are manufactured in Havana, and the
great factors Of that city cannot distinguish their
own cigars from those made at Alces's.
Merchants and agents will find II greatly to their
advantage to call on Mr.. Alces, for they will be
surprised at the beauty, cheapness and excellence
of bis goods, and the extent of his business. Be.
sides cigars, Mr.. Aces has large supply Of
genuine Cuba and American leaf tobacco, which
be offers at reasonable rates, and Granada ribbons
for tying up bundles.
