New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-11

The nomination of Seymour and Blair
by the Democratic Convention gives much
greater satisfaction to the Republicans OF
New Orleans than it does to the Democrats.
Some of our contemporaries parade the name
of the nominee for President in their col
umns as that of the "only original Jacobs -
They do not all of them seem to be &C
quainted with their future leader, as we
notice in one paper at least that his name
is written improperly. Poor Pierce had
the same experience in 1852. Scarcely
'anybody had ever heard of him, though the
faithful were so anxious to know all about
him that they frequently exposed their
ignorance. But the rank and file Of the De-
moeracy do not receive the GLORIOUS" news
with much enthusiasm. There is little in the
character Of Horatio Seymour for South
ern Democrat to admire. His efforts to
aid the South during the war they regard
as well enough as to intent but he did
not display much adroitness. His oppOsi-
ton to the draft and encouragement Of
enlistments were not conducted with that
ingenuity which the rebels exaeted from
their auxiliafies. Besides, the riot got up
in New York by Governor Seymour's
friends" during which they hung a col
orea man or two to the lamp posts and
burned the COlOred Orphan Asylum, was
most injudicious act, and was resented by
the people of New York at the next cleo
ton. The patron of the " friends" was set
aside, and inc great resources Of New York
were finally brought to bear against the
rebellion.
While, therefore, the rebels feel some
gratitude toward Mr.. Seymour for what he
endeavored to do, they can not altogether
forgive him for what be failed to accom-
plish. The most Jealous partisans of the
Democracy will support him with some
show of sincerity for the benefits in the
way of fat offices which they hope to secure
by his election, but those who have nothing
to expect will not grow jealous.
The Republicans, on the contrary, have
twofold object 10 preventing his election.
General Grant is the first choice of the
party throughout the Union. He is the
embodiment of the principles of equality,
liberty, and peace, which lie at the base Of
the Republican organization. To secure
the success Of these, every good Republican
will feel bound in duty to do much; but
when the additional incentive Of keeping
HOratio Seymour, the great Copperhead
leader Of the peace Democracy, out Of the
White House is offered, they will exert
themselves to the extent Of their abilities.
Such appears 70 be the feeling in this
city; and such It win be in all parts Of the
reconstructed South. We consider the votes
Of Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware as
being sure for Seymour. But with these
exceptions We believe every Southern State
that Is likely 10 have q vote will cast Il for
Grant and Colfax. Our friends have good
reason for encouragement, and they ex-
press themselves in q very hopeful manner.

NEW ORLEANS, July 8, 1868.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,;
l think it would be well to call the atten-
ton of the loyal people to the action, or
rather non-action Of the State Senate in re
gard to contested seats in that portion of
the Assembly. This postponing and recon-
hitting and putting the question back in
every other manner possible is as unjust to
the contesting parties as it is ruinous to the
best interests Of the State.
Five persons who sit there and oppose
legislation in every conceivable manner
have not the right TO vote on any occasion
according to the constitution Of Louisiana,
for the reason of their participation in the
late rebellion, or for aid or comfort rem
dered thereto. It looks as If the honorable
Senators had forgotten that part of the
oath which says: II will support the con
stitution and laws of the State.p Do they
do this when they allow persons to sit there
as Senators who are disfranchised BY article
ninety nine-allowing them TO cast their
illegal votes for or against this or that
measureg / think not. These questions
have got to be settled; aud why is it not as
we'll TO do IL first as last2 Let the report of
the Committee on Elections be finally dis
posed OF in its regular order, and il win be
better for all parties concerned.

and the Pendleton men accor .ingly be on
their guard in reference to the withdrawal
of Seymour, and treat it as deception and
a snare until the name of Seymour is with
drawn in convention by the New York del
egation. Even then if there is any hedg
ing upon Seymour let it be stopped at once;
for the ALBANY Regency are not TO be trusted.

HON. ID. II. REESE.


The subject of our sketch was born in
Montgomery county, New York, in the year
1910.
At an early age he removed to Michigan,
where he engaged in agricultural pursuits
until the breaking cut of the late war,
when he enlisted as private in the Sixth
Michigan Infantry.
In December, 1865, he was promoted to a
Second Lieutenancy and transferred to the
Seventy third Colored Infantry.
In January, 1866, he was mustered out as
First Lieutenant, having served for many
months in this State. Shortly after leaving
the army he settled in Thibodtux, parish of
Lafourche, was appointed Postmaster, and
subsequently elected delegate to the State
Constitutional Convention.
He is now serving in the House of Repre-
sentatives as chairman OF the Committee on
Public LandsRnd Levees.
Mr.. Reese was "a prominent candidate for
the Speakership, his sterling ability and ia
miliarity with Parliamentary usage recon-.
mending him to his colleagues.
He will prove himself one of the leading
members of the House.

and Sheriffs further instructed that they will be
held responsible for rigid enforcement Of the or.
dinanee adopted by the Convention January a. 1868

GEORGIA Did Not Vote for President.

0eoTVid Oiu itOt soio ioF fTeotocht.
1t appears that after all the frauds, vic.
lence, and murders on the part of the Ku
Klux Democracy Of Georgia, to carry that
State for the Democratic candidates for
President and vice-President, that the
electors did not vote for these officers at
the time designated by law. Here is the
statement Of the Atlanta Neio Era:
We understand that but one elector at
tended at the appointed time-Col. John
g. Nichols, OF the First District. AS
there was no quorum present, no vote was
cast &c. after all our hard fight in
Georgia, the State did not vote for Presi-
dent. ~.
In view Of the fraud and intimidation
by which the State was carried for the
Democracy, we presume the electors were
satisfied that the vote would not be coun-
ted, and thought it unnecessary to put
themselves to the trouble, or the State to
the expense, of meeting to cast the ille-
gal ballot. 1t amounts to clear confess
sion Of judgment, and saves Congress the
trouble Of ruling out the State for unfair
ness, fraud aud intimidation.

From the Richmop d Re dIcal.
The South Poll.

My attention has been called to one or
two very sensible aud we'll written com
municaiions for the Telegram, on the sub
ject Of the iIlegality Of the vote at the
southern precinct The points are well
taken, and are conclusive as fur as they
90. But why ignore the fact, well known
to this community, that the ballot box was
actually tempered with and gross fraud
praeiieed by some one1 Was this not SO?
Let Us sec. At The northern precinct,
where, il is not disputed, most Of Mr.. Ju-
liau's enemies voted, and where the entire
Republican vote was ll5l, he fell below
Gov. Baker only 80 votes. At the South
ern precinct, whore scarcely Republican
was known to oppose him, and whore the
party vote was only G66, no fell short of
Gov. Baker 3i5 votes, Bakers majority
at the poll being | "a over Hendricks, aud
Reid over Julian 20l.
According 10 the percentage Of loss sus-
tanned by Julian at tho north precinct, his
loss ut the south precinct would have been
20 votes only, leaving him an actual ma
joriiy Of l2I votes over Reid, instead of
POI the other way, and showing differ
ence between Julian and Baker at that
precinct OF 325 votes unaeeounted for In
any fair way. Again, adopting for the
north poll the same scale OF difference re-
ported ms existing at the South poll be-
tween Baker and Julian, IL will show a
difference at that poll OF about GOO votes
against Julian. which, added to the diff
ference at the south poll, would mako an
aggregate of OILS votes at tho two pollsl
This truth Is, great wrong has been done,
and though as citizens Of Richmond we
may not like to acknowledge IL, our own
credit, not less than public justice, de-
mands that Il be fully Investigated. |
desire to make no charge against any in
diyidual. | would like to afford those
whose position has been such az TO cause
attention to be attracted to them in this
connection, the fullest opportunity TO ex-
unsrate themselves. III Reid carries out
his foolish threat to contest Mr.. Julian's
seat, | am advised that this thing will be
probed to the bottom. 1t will then be
shown, by testimony that no man will dis
pute, that not twenty Republican voters
at the south poll failed to vote Cor Julian.
Mark my prediction, not twenty Of them
will fail to swear that they voted for him.

Newspaper Comments on the Presidents
a Message.

uSooo3o.
The New York Tribune says of the
Presidents message: "This message is
his worst and, fortunately, his last insult
to the American people. As he goes out
Of the White Hsse xhsfbps to shake
bis fist at the Capitol. There sit the
men who bsfiled him: there are the Repre-
sentatives who impeached him, the Sena-
tors who convicted him. the makers Of the
laws that fettsr him, the servants of the
people who prevented him from restoring
rebels to power aud making the war a
useless sacrifice. Utterly POwerless as no
is 10 arrest the bright chariot Of destiny,
he can not forbear to throw mud at it rs
it passes"
The. London Times has a long editorial
on the message Of President johnson. AL.
luding to the Alabama negotiations, it
says the English government has shown
every desire to make an infringement, and
il is difficult to believe the Presidents
Cabinet or hostile majority in Congress
will throw over settlement arrived at
after long negotiation.
The Paris Patrie thinks the message of
President johnson, in view Of the sp-
preaching close of his administration, is
unimporiant, and the only point calling
for attention is the recon ndation re-
specling direct elections.
