been con,mitted in New Orleans by professions
of the Radical party, and the offenders never

the law abiding citizens look forward 70 the Rad

suggested by one or more of contem Doraries
that all stores should be closed at q seasonable

Such a course would doubtless be judicious. and
II would be well for the municipal authorities to
do what may be necessary to make it uniform.
We trust the chief OF police will take such mea-
sures as TO prevent any fruit stores and soda
shops from being gutted, or citizens passing
quietly homeward from being iusulted and as
saulied. Five or ten thousand negroes fresh
from the plantations, encouraged and instigs sted
by the artfUl words OF white sdventurers, will
form an irrupuon as dangerous as it Is deplo-
rable.
The police of New Orleans are now sail to
number upwards Of 500 men. They are equal in
point of numbers TO any regiment In the military
service. They should also be equal in discipline
and efficiency to any regiment; and as they are
adequately equipped and armed, we must look to
them for Quiet and for protection. Major William
son, their chief, has very heavy responsibility
resting upon him, and we hope he will use every
precaution, so distributing and instructing his
forces that an outbreak in any quarter may be
promptly quelled and the guilty parties arrested.
ForbeaFance cannot be too earnestly impressed
upon the citizens of New Orleans in the coming
Radical demonstration. A bloody outbreak Is the
prayer OF the Radicals in power, for il Is the only
card through which they can hope for the election
OF their presidential candidates. Let US suffer
