GRANl's ROGUE GALLERY.

The New York Times not unreasonably
assumes that ninety-nine out of a hundred of
Grants supporters in New York expect to
get Office under his administration. In other
words, they expect that Grant will give them
a chance to steal and plumber from the coun-
try, in an official capacity, enough to pay
them a hundred fold for whatever time or
money they expended in promoting his cleo
ton. Thus, in their fattering estimation, he
is simply the chief in confederation of
thieves and robbers. But the Times demurs
to this pleasant theory, and says that Grant
himself does not approve it. Wherefore, the
Times charitably warns the twenty or thirty
thousand ofice-seeking expectants of New
York that he sees through their designs, and
will be proof against the devices by which
they hope, when he visits the metropolis, to
impress their powerful claims upon his
memory. Nay more, it is good enough to
inform them that Grant has conceived the
brilliant idea of opening national
Rogues' Gallery at Washington, of
which the principal ornaments will
be the photographs of the New York
place-hunters by whom he expects to be
beleaguered. Taking the liberty of letting
ont this secret of Grant, the Times proceeds
to say that, "after ordering the destruction OF
all place-seeking letters, few days ago, he
determined upon the policy he would pursue
during his visit to New York-which was to
get the photograph of every place-hunter
that comes within gun-shot of him, and send
them to Washington, to be filed away in a
conspicuous place, where they will constantly
remind him of his determination never to
give any one of them any Office or any
favor" This is an admirable arrangement,
as far as it goes. But it is imperfect in its
scope. To make the contemplated Rogues
Gallery complete, it will be necessary to adorn
it with the ikenesses Of the Radical Office.

their places under Grant on the plea that they

THE STATE ccsvsNrIoN.


The Democratic State Convention adj
journed yesterday after having completed the
business which brought the members to-
pether The address and resolutions will be
found in the published proceedings this
morning. We commend them to the consld-
Grafton of our readers. 1t will be seen that
they are calm and temperate in language,
whilst they give expression to the feelings
and wishes of the people of the State. The
address, if We may SO call the report OF the
committee made to the convention, very just
" says that sooner or later the present COR
rupt and imbecile State government must
cease to exist" The question lis how to ar
rive at that result in manner consistent
with the peace and dignity and interests OF
the State. The convention do not attempt
to decide this question in advance OF
the consolidation of public opinion around
some practicable project; but they do recon-
mend the formation, in all the parishes, OF
associations analogous to those which have
been established in this city. Some such
action is necessary not only in order to secure
ourselves against the ruinous consequences
of the ubiquitous legislation of the Dryades
street concern, but to cut off the supplies by
which alone the actual State government can
support itself, and tor which alone its agents
desire to maintain their usurped authority
This is precisely the course which was recon-
mended in the CRESCENT a few days ago, ant
we are glad to perceive that our views have
been seconded by the representatives of the
people. We trust that the suggestion vii
be adopted and acted on with celebrity ant

sTHE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. This ex-
ce,lent organization was eloquently defended
I'M the State convention yesterday.
re solution was rendered by General b. B.
Ssmmes, of Pointe Coupee, thanking the COM
nsttee in the name of the Democratic party of
the State, for the tireless energy, the good
jtdgment and the conciliatory measures which
Originated in that body and were carried out
IA triumphant conclusion.
The resolution was earnestly and elo-
qpently supported by the Hon. George W.
1sace, one of the vice presidents, and the
Hon. j. o. Fuqua, chairman of the commit
tie on resolutions. General SHINES also
spoke with great effect in favor of the Cen
tial Committee.
These gentlemen, who are among the most
iaAuential and intelligent members of the
State convention, spoke at length of the SER
vices performed by the Central Committee.
Atr. Race said, Success in military man is
! criterion of his ability, and so. was it with
the Central Committee. The splendid major
lily achieved by the Democratic party in
Louisiana is an evidence of the worth of the
committees exertions, and finer tribute
could not be paid to any body of men,"
Mr.. Ellison, of che first ward, also defended
the Central Committee with great effect. The
language and arguments of these gentlemen
swere so convincing that the resolution passed
with perfect unanimity.

The New York Times says that Gen. Grant
did not seek the presidency, but the presi-
dency sought him. Not to put too fine a
point upon it, this is simply bosh-unmiti-
gated and immitigable bosh. If the presi-
dency sought Grant, it had very little trouble
in finding him. Like the ancient virgins
mentioned by Byron, he was good deal
more than anxious to be found. Indeed, if
ever a man schemed and intrigued for an
Office, that man was the General Com
handing our Armies" when once he got the
presidency in his eye. If Grant ever had
any politics, he was Democrat; and yet he
sacrificed his political principles with a
facility which would have been creditable to
the most persistent ofice-hunter. If he had
any opinions on reconstruction, they were
those of Mr.. Johnson; and yet he swallowed
the Radical platform without grimace.
If he had any opinions about
the South, it was that the people of the South
ern States ought to have been Immediately re-
stored to oil their rights in the Union; and
yet he allied himself with a party which
systematically excluded them from the Union,
and deliberately deprived them of their politi-
cal rights. If he had any views on the ques-
ten of negro suffrage. he was opposed to it;
and yet he became the candidate of a party
which invented and established negro suf-
frage for no other purpose than to perpetuate
its own power and to aid in electing its candi-
date to the presidency. In short, Grants
political history is record of tergiversation
consistent only with intellectual imbecility or
inordinate and unprincipled ambition. 1t
may be the one; it may be the other; it is
probably both.

The New York Times announces as proc

The New York Times announces as proof
of retaining reason" consequent on the
Radical victory in the recent election, that
90 Wade Hampton and other prominent
Democrats had waited on the so-called gov
ernor of South Carolina, and notified to that
delectable specimen of effiorescent carpet-bag-
gerry their acceptance of the situation, and
their puspose hereafter to confine opposition
within reaceable and lawful limits"
This announcement is anything but proof
of returning reason on the part of the Times.
1t is, on the contrary, only another illustration
of the klavish imbecility and stupid knavery
which las characterized that journal The
simple minded people on whom the Times
has imposed its platitudes for principle, and
its sneaking Radicalism for genuine conserya-
tism, would be apt to imagine from theaboye
statement that Wade Hampton and his fellow
DEMOCRATS of South Carolina had called on
the soloalled governor for the purpose of con-
Tossing their sins, and seeking grace and alb
solution at his hands-a confession equiva-
lent To an admission that they had all
the time been concerned in conspiracy to
involve the country in another war
and to. oppose the Republican party by unlaw-
full means. Now, this is simply ridiculous.
Wade Hampton and his friends were guilty
of no such ineffable folly. They are neither
so stupid nor so unprincipled as the Times
would induce its readers to believe. What
the Times means by accepting the situa-
ton, we do not know. Perhaps the situa-
ton yas handed round by Gov. Scott on a
silver salver, and was accepted by his guests
in the shape of glass of sherry and bitters, or
of OLD Bourbon and we venture to say that
they ibid not and will not accept any other
kind bf situation. II the Times means that
they,tor any of the rest of the Southern white
peop.e intend to acknowledge the justice and
validity of the Radical scheme of suffrage,
with its concomitant carpet-baggery and negro
SUPREMACY, or that they will remit their oppo-
sitios to the fraudulent State governments
which have been imposed on them, and
to tie party by which the infamous pro-
ject was consummated. it viii soon see the
evidence that it is very seriously in error.
Al, to the arrogant and insolent assump-
tionithat the Southern people are necessarily
rebess and traitors and bad citizens because
they decline to vote the Republican ticket, it
is time to abandon such proftless nonsense.
Thf people of the South intend to maintain
thesr political opinions, and to act upon them
in the future with quite as much resolution as
in tae past. They do not see that the cleo
tioi, of General Grant, accomplished as it was
by persistent falsehood, and by the suppress
SLOT of the public voice in seven States, proves
thtsn to be sanguinary ruffians, and contuma
cioiis conspirators, any more than the defeat
of the Confederate armies proved the Con
federate cause to have been unjust They
admit the fact of the election just as they
admitted the fact of the defeat, but they do
neE intend to become Radicals any more fO1
tlA one reason than for the other.
