New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-10-01
THE POLITICAL PROSPECTS.

The election of Grant and Colfax, and
the success of the Republican ticket gene
orally, is regarded as certain, even without
the vote Of a single Southern State The
next President and Vice President of the
United States will be Republican, and
there will be large majority OF Republi-
cans in each House of Congress.
The material prosperity of the country
at large will be secured by this grand re.
suit. In this prosperity Louisiana will
share largely, if the predictions are full
filled that the Republican electoral ticket
will be chosen and Republican Congress-
men will be elected on the third of No
Yember.
Some weeks since the declaration was
made in these columns that Louisiana was
good for Grant and Colfax by twenty
thousand majority Notwithstanding the
boasts of the Democratic press that large
numbers of colored voters have become
members Of Democratic clubs, we see no
reason to change these figures or to aban-
don the political field to our boastful oppo-
nents.
1t has been stated, and the statement has
been copied into the columns of Demo-
cratic papers through the North, that a
majority of the coiored voters of New Or
leans are members of Democratic clubs.
We know the absurdity Of this claim. We
are convinced that not more than two or
three hundred colored men in the parish of
Orleans will vote the Democratic ticket,
The Democrats themselves confess that the
attempt to win eOlored voters over to the
support of the Democratic cause has
proved signal failure.
The same is true of the country. Colored
Democratic clubs exist there only in name.
They have no tangible form, shape or SUBJ
stance. Almost as unit the colored vote
will be given for the Republican Presi-
dental and Congressional ticket.
The colored voters of the State are not
destitute Of intelligence. They will vote
right, and in support of Republican prin-
ciples and Republican candidates.
The registration will be full and fair.
There viii be a heavy vote in this State,
and full vote will insure Republican
victory. There are reasons for the belief
that even some Of the members of Demo-
cratic clubs will quietly vote for Grant and
Ooliax. We have private assurances Of
this fact, and the Democrats must not be
surprised at the detection q sensible and
intelligentmen who profess obe in active
sympathy with The Seymour party. but who
will vote to sustain the party of peace, pro
gress and prosperity.
The political prospects are brilliant.
Grant will be elected, and Louisiana viii
roll up handsome Republican majority.
So let It be.

THE oPBLoUsAs RIOT,

The kilograms from Democratic sources
in reference to the trouble at Opelousas
are insincere upon their face. No one set
ting out to tell "the whole truth would
write a narrative in such a form.
Two white men have difficulty" and,
thereupon, we are told, "the negroes threat
ened to burn the town." Absurd on its
face.
Then "the whites armed themselves and
sent party of nine to search house near
the town, where arms and ammunition
were reported 10 be stored. They were
allowed the house peacedJly and
when they had finished, mounted their
horses to return, when they were fired upon
by negroes ambushed near by. One white
man was killed and four wounded. The
| whites returned the fire, dispensing the ne
groes.'
Here are three things which have no
logical connection difficulty between
two white men, a threat to burn the town,
and search for arms by armed men at
some distance from the town-but an entire
concealment of the real nature of the
trouble.
But at the end of the dispatch there is a
line which gives glimmer of light The
number OF colored dead is unknown"
And visions of Dryades street, Millican and
Camilla rise before our fancy. What were
nine armed men doing searching house
for arms? Would any Democrat in New
Orleans like to have nine armed Repub-
licans search his house for arms? Perhaps
the following paragraphs from the Ope-
lousas Progress of the twenty-sixth will
throw some light upon the difficulty:
1t was announced in this paper tina a
Republican meeting would be held at
Plaquemine on the twentieth. A Demo-
cratic meeting was announced on the
nineteenth. The Committee on Confer
ence, from both parties, thought it advisa-
bic TO postpone. Tuesday courier
brought the intelligence that the citizens |
of Plaquemine Brula were under arms,
and waited the entire day for the meeting |
to take place. Why such preparation:
We defy the Democrats to point to a single |
aggressive act committed by Republicans,
and to prove that they are not the advo-
Gates of peace and harmony. Can such |
excitement of the people be made for any
good purpose, or be conducive to their |
happiness?
Or the following from the same paper:
Why so many new guns should be bought,
old ones be repaired, cartridges made in
quantities, and side-arms be
distributed among the unreconstructel ele-
meut in Opelousas, we cannot account for,
unless this deluded people are preparing
for revolution. Republicans, take warning.
As yet, we have strictly no account of
this Opelousas trouble from first hands,
Major Hutchins, the agent Of the Freed
mems Bureau at New Orleans, has sent
Lieutenant Lee this morning, to investigate
the matter, and the report will be looked
or with interest. In the meantime
we warn the people of our State
against the policy of preventing Republican
tings by force. 1t can do no good; it
will not make vote for our opponents: it
'uins agriculture; it paralyzes trade; it is
Evil, and only evil. We ask only for fair
play. Can we have it?

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

We continue our report of the Demo-
cratic Convention.
The clocks had struck two before the
Convention reassembled yesterday, when,
after being called to order, the Committee
on Credentials reported progress. Some
parishes had appointed sundry and dupli-
cate delegates who were rejected, but after
the conflicting elements subsidized it was
found that fiity-nine parishes were repre-
sented by two hundred and fifty-fonr dele
gates. The report was read and adopted.
A motion that committee of seven re-
port on permanent organization was laid
on the table.
1t was then moved that the Convention
proceed to permanent organization, when
the names of John McHenry, of Ouachita,
Hon. A. S. Heron, of Baton Rouge, and
VIM. Pugh, were offered for permanent
chairman. The motion was put to deter
mine how the votes should be counted.
when much perplexity ensued as to whether
the vote should be taken per capita or by
parishes.
The latter plan was ultimately agreed
on, the delegate from st. Mary having in
formed the Convention that the subject was
not a serious one, only one Of honorl
Voting for permanent President then en-
sued, when General john MeHenry, of
0uachita, was declared elected, as having
received 1877 votes, and Colonel Andrew
S. Heron, of Baton Rouge, lis votes.
The President was then presented to the
meeting by Mr.. Race, who designated him
the warhorse of the Democracy or the De-
mocratic warborse, we forget which.
General McHenry then returned thanks
in the stereotyped style of Democratic ora
tors.
Colonel Heron was appointed first Vice
President, Hon. W. Pugb, OF Assumption
second Vice-President, and Hon. G. w.
Race third Vice-P President.
A vote Of thanks was given TO the latter
for his valuable services as temporary
President.
OSCAR Aurora, Esq, was chosen Secreta-
~, and w. II. Ellis Assistant Secretary.
Considerable discussion took place as 10
the rules by which the Convention should
be governed, which ultimately decided to
make use Of the "Jetfersonian MAMMAL"
Is was then moved that a committee of
eleven be appointed on resolutions and the
condition Of the State, which was agreed
to.
Mr.. Walsh, of Baton Rouge, offered re-
solution that it was improper and inexpedi-
ten to nominate any persons as electors I'M
less they are not liable to rejection on the
most rigid Radical test, which was referred
to the COMMITTEES on Resolutions.
A motion was then carried that when the
Convention adjourned It would reassem-
bic at ten O'Clock this morning. The meet
ing then dispersed in disorder, the chair
man vainly endeayoring TO restrain their
impatlence by declaring that no adjourn
ment had been made. Sic transit.

A SAD COMMENT.

1t is sad comment upon the excellence
of republican form OF government when
two infamous creatures like Schenck and
Morgan become invested with the extra
ordinary power of converting or postponing
the Congress Of this great country power
the trainers of our Constitution hardly dele
gated to the highest officer Of the Govern
ment.-1tmes.
1t is sad comment on our decency and
civilization when the Times permits such
billingsgate in its columns. Every intel
ligent person knows that Messrs. Schenck
and Morgan have not become invested
with any such power as that stated in the
paragraph we quote, but, on the contrary,
Congress has adjourned from time to time,
as it deemed best, and as it has a right
to do.
And everybody knows that to call
Messrs. Scbneck and Morgan infamous
creatures is simply abusive and indecent.
There are not two men in the United States
who command from their strongest oppo-
nents larger measure of personal respect
General Schneck is one of the most up-
right and respected citizens OF Ohio, and
Mr.. Morgan is one Of the merchant
princes" of New York, whose character is
so well known to the business men of New
Orleans that the billingsgate of the Times,
when squiTted at him, can only excite dis
gust in the minds of the community.

GRANTS FAREWELL ADDRESS
TO HAS ARMY.

The general order of General Grant, ad-
dressed to the soldiers of the United States
when the war was over, will now be read
with interest. Here it is:
SOLDIERS OF THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED
STATEs-By your patriotic devotion TO your
country in the hour Of danger and alarm,
your magnificent fighting, bravery and en-
durance, you have maintained the suprema-
cy of tina Union and the Constitution,
overthrow, all armed opposition to the
enforcement of the laws and the proclama'
tion forever abolishing slayery-the cause
and preteXt of the rebellion-and opened
the way to the rightful authorities to restore
order and inaugurate peace on permanent
and enduring basis on every foot of Ameri-
can soil. Your marches, sieges and battles,
in distance, duration, resolution and bril-.
liancy Of results, dim the luster of the
worlds past military achievements, and
will be the patriots precedent i'll defense of
liberty and right in all time to come. In
obedience to your cOuntry's call, you left
your homes and families, and volunteered
in her defense. Victory has crowned your
valor, and secured the purpose of your
patriotic hearts; and with the gratitude of
your countrymen, and the highest honors a
great and free nation can accord, you will
soon be permitted to return to your homes
and families, conscious of having discharg.
ed the highest duty of American citizens.
To achieve these glorious triumphs, and
secure to yourself, followed nntrymen, and
postertty, the blessings of free institutions,
tens OF thousands of your gallant comrades
have fallen, and sealed the priceless legacy
with their blood. The graves of these
grateful nation bedews with tears, honors
their memories, and will ever cherish and
support their stricken families"

threats, every citizen will profit thereby.
1t is not too late to convince planters that
their crops will be safe from incendiarism
in our parishes, nor too late for assured
peace to stretch its inviting hands to timid
capital, which now holds aloof from US.
The excitement of the weeks past have
done us more injury than could an cpl
demic, and to-day men of both parties may
see that they have made mistakes for which
cool reflection brings regret.
May we be now entering upon a season
of peace and prosperity
