A "W1LD MAN."-We have been
told by an honest Dutchman of the
Fork, in Lexington, of the appear
ance, in that locality, of wild man.
Two negroes, father and son, went
down to q branch, near where they
lived. As they stood on one side of
the branch, they noticed on the
other side, amid the thick shrubbery
there, n figure, standing erect, with q
robe wrapped around him, and hay
ing a strange aspect in general.
Slowly this figure raised n pistol,
and, taking deliberate nim, fred ut
the two colorcd men. Whereupon,
the younger fled, crying, the wild
man." The elder stood his ground,
whether bravely, or because he could
not run, we know not, until he saw
the figure slowly marching away and
along the line Of the stream. Since
then. the wild man has once again
made his appearance.

Imnnrtant Correction.

A Correspondent, w. B. G., +" corrects an
error which was inadvertently made in
yesterdays REPuBIICAy. The article of the
Constitution quoted by him not only dis
qualities the Democratic Senators elect
from the Bossier, Bienville, and Claiborne
district, but several others in various parts
of the State, including some in New Or
leans. This Is the communication, dated
yesterday:
In your editorial Of this morning you
stated that the Senators from BOssier, Bien.
vile, and Claiborne are DISTINGUISHED, but
that ny advertising officially their regrets
of the past they may qualify. Very many
of our friends have made that same state.
ment who would not have done so if they
had looked at the subject little closer.
Article eighteen Of the Constitution just
ratified states " that no person shall be q
Representative or Senator unless at the
time of his election he bes qualified elector
of the representative or senatorial district
from which he is elected.n
How can these gentlemen be qualified
electors when article ninety-nine states,
mo person excluded in these exceptions
shall either vote or hold office unless he
shall have retrieved himself by voluntarily
writing and signing certificate, ETC., and
he shall file the certificate in the office of
the Secretary of State, and it shall be pub
Ished in the official journal"
Have these certificates been made and
published!

be alleged.

The Board Of Registration has directed
an extension Of time till the first Of June
wherein sherifs and collectors of taxes
may settle with the State Auditor for the
amounts received by them under the ordi-
nance Of the Convention, which is pub
lished for information. At the same time
the Board admonishes the officers named
that they must enforce the provisions Of the
ordinance, and continue to collect taxes
until the first of June.
The late Convention has not imposed
heavy burden upon the taxpayers of the
State, and little if any of the tax imposed
has yet been paid in. Much inconvenience
to officers and members of the Convention,
as well as to State creditors generally, and
Necessary loss to them as well as t. the
treasury, have resulted from the want Of
ready money. The prices paid for most all
articles has been based upon the depreciat-
ed value Of State warrants. With ready
money in the treasury this would have
been avoided. But the time for payment
has now fully come, and it is the imperative
duty of the Board of Registration to per-
form the duties imposed upon them. The
notice published by them should, therefore,
be considered imperative, as they have no
alternative under the law.

The State Convention Of the Republican
party meets to-day at noon, at Mechanics
Institute, and it will have very responsible
duties to discharge.
Firstly, it will elect fourteen delegates
to the National Republican Convention,
which meets at Chicago on the twentieth
Of this month, and probably fourteen alter
mates TO ill the places Of those who may
be elected and unable to attend.
Secondly, to nominate seven electors TO
be voted for at the Presidential election.
Thirdly, but not less important, it must
organize the party machinery, and place it
in proper trim for future work. In the
older States, and among experienced
politicians, the State Central Executive
Committees rarely consist Of more than
ten or fifteen persons. II is probably ex-
Pedient that ours should be larger. but
nevertheless the country should be repre-
scented in fair proper ton to the city. The
committee can itself appoint sub-eon-
mittee to do much Of its necessary work.
I There should also be Parish Executive
Committee for the city and parish Of
Orleans, 70 be composed of delegates
elected by the various Ward Clubs, like
the Executive Committees of the other
parishes and cities in the State. so

MII1TARY INTERFBRBNCE M BIgCTIoNs

MILITARY INTERFERENCE IN ELECTIONS.
The New York World of the 2jth ultimo
has complimentary notice of General
Buchanan's order directing that Freedmens
Bureau agents should not interfere in our
election. Says the World:
Our Geographic columns bore Yesterday
news from the South which is as anomal-
GUS as it is gratifying. 1t is to the effect
that the " Commander of the Fifth Military
District has issued an order forbidding
agents Of the bureau to take any active part
in politics, as such action win not be toler-
ated. He having received information that
certain agents were so engaged, has directed
that they cease to NEEDLE in any manner
with politics, or forward their resignation.
An agent failing to comply with this order
will be summarily dismissed" Such action,
at such a time and from such source, i'm
parts TO reconstruction" the only decent
and healthy feature it possesses-the exc.
cution of the laws in spirit which leans
toward honor and which leads to the strict
construction and contraction of powers.
The order referred to was received with
favor by all classes of people in Louisiana,
and especially so by he Republican party.
Non-interferenee with the rights of voters
was just what that party commended for
with unanimous voice. Had there been
no interference nor intimidation, no refusal
of the ballots of lawful voters the result
would have been more satisfactory than it is
now. The Republicans would have car
ried the parish of Orleans by majority of
two thousand instead of losing it by as
many hundreds; they would have elected
their whole ticket in st. Bernard instead of
losing a Representative; they would not
have suffered defeat in Bienville, and the
Constitution would have been ratified by
forty thousand majority instead of only
about twenty thousand. But unfortunately
the order was construed to apply to Bureau
agents only, and did not deter army
officers from interfering with the election.
We have received many accounts from the
country relating improper conduct at the
polls on the part of officers of the
United States army. They should have
been embraced in the order to
Bureau agents. 1t was the duty Of these
officers to take care that the rights of all
voters within their jurisdiction were amply
protected. But this they did not do in all
cases. There have been several elections
held in this State under military auspices,
but we remember none in which the con-
duct Of the several officers in responsible
commands was so unsatisfactory as in the
enc just held. We still hope that all offend
ers in this respect may yet receive repri-
mand or other suitable punishment. If the
result of the impeachment trial proves to
be what every honest, loyal, patriotic man
in the nation hopes and prays it may be,
there will be prospect that exact Justice
shall be meted out to all.

Now all this Is not only wrong, but
supremely ridiculous, Nearly all political
questions have no more to do With mans
moral character than with bis height and
the cut of his garments. And to call a
man an abandoned wretch, besotted sans
c,lottes, or any other hard name in the
catalogue of Democratic explosives, simply
because he does not entertain our view es
to the tariff or the proper method Of build
ing the levees or any other political mat
ter, is no better than calling him hard
names because he may happen to have
bardy legs, red hair, or a cock-eye' Every
Person has right to his own opinion
upon all subjects, and, unless bis
moral turpitude is established by his
spoken words or acts, we have no more
right to question the honesty Of his
opinion and the purity of his motives than
We have to question the virtue Of his wife
| on account of the color of her hair or her
dress. These matters Of political opinion
can be judged by no standard fixed By
governmental authority. Public ap.d in
dividual opinions are constantly changing.
The venerable traditions of me past have
little or no weight against the perpetual
mutations and innovations which result
from discussion, debate, and the diffusion
of knowledge.

TIE SEASON AND TIE CROPS.

All reports from the country parishes
indicate that the season has thus far been
most propitious and that the growing crops
are coming forward in the most satistac-
tory manner. Perhaps not quite SO large
breadth of cotton has been planted as last
year, in Louisiana, butmuch more corn, and
very much more Of the ether cereals. The
experience Of cotton planting during the
last three years has amply demonstrated
that it is far more profitable to cultivate a
hundred acres well than to attempt to cul-
tivste Eve hundred acres in the wastetul
manner characteristic of slave times. There
is, therefore, prospect Of greater yield
of cotton in Louisiana than last year, and
what is far better, the almost certainty Of
realising profit in the business unless the
crop should suffer rom some unexpected
disaster.
