What They Think of Us In the North.
The following extract from a letter
written by gentleman in one of the
Northern States to his brother in Louisiana.
is commended to the careful consideration
of Southern Democrats. The writer oc-
cupies high official position in his own
State and is well advised of the subjects on
which he writes:
The telegraphic news from Louisiana has
been anything but comforting 10 persons
who have friends in that State. 1t is yery
strange that motives ofpolicy alone should
not have been sufficient to restrain parties
at the South from such excuses. Every
negro or loyal white man who has been BY
assault or intimidation prevented from
voting for Grant in the South, has given
Grant ct least ten Democratic votes at the
North.
Democrats are becoming Radicals all
through the Northern States, and the doc
trine of confscaiing the estates of disloyal
men. which until Of late had no advocates
in this section, is now in every mans
mouth, and if the disturbances continue
little longer in the Southern States short
but certain road to the general coniscation
of rebel estates will be found and Travelled
as sure as fate. The great blunder of the
South is in relying on the Democratic party
of the North, The great mass of that
party could to-day be carried more easily
than the Republicans on proposal to pay
the public debt out of rebel estates.
They are thoroughly indignant at their
political ruin, which they owe to Southern
impotence and excuses.

Mr. Bayley, the present Chief Engineer
and Superintendent of the Opelousas Rail-
road, in his testimony for the company,
strives hard to save it from the "mael-
strom" of bankruptcy, to use all expression
ofthe Picay.ne. He expressed the beiefthat
''the United States land grant to the road Of
$4,000 acres would be renewed" The re-
newal and extension of land grants to rail-
roads in Arkansas was allowed by
Congress because new men-citizens
Of integrity, enterprise and 10y
alty-hsd secured control of the
roads. The people OF Louisiana are
deeply interested in the completion of the
Opelousas road, and because they are so
interested they are determined that Con-
gress shall grant no lands or privileges to
the road while. it remains in the present
hands. When men of property, character
brains, aud attachment to the Union and
Constitution have control Of the road, Con
gressional aid will be invoked and granted
but not until then.

and while not moved by fear he should
not be Hurried by excitement. He is ex-
pected to keep bis wits about him. We
called to see Sergeant Whittier on Monday
and had Just emerged from his prison cell
into Lafayette street, when we heard the
report of q pistol, and saw people run.
ming toward the Marble Hall, place
where men most do congregate about mid
day to "smile' and partake Of a lunch
Presently we saw the Superintendent of Po-
lice coming out of the Marble Hall with q
man evidently under arrest, from the
manner in which he collared him. The
man proved to be Sergeant Haester. He
had been engaged in friendly conversation
with Captain Bradley, also of the police
when something occurred that did not
please Sergeant Haester, and he de-
liberately drew his pistol and fred at
the Captain, the ball missing him, per-
haps from the fact that some person
present seeing that murder was about to be
committed, struck Sergeant Haester's arm
thus causing the ball to enter the ceiling of
the saloon. This would seem to be a most
reckless and bad use of the authority
granted by the Police Board, and we shall
deem Sergeant Haester a very fortunate
man if the Board should so far sustain him
in the perversion of its authority as to
maintain him on the police force. The
next case is that of Officer Huck. He had
arrested, it appears, Mr.. Holm, and was
proceeding with him to the stationhouse,
when he drew pistol and snapped
it at the officer. The latter then drew his
revolver and fired, inficting serious
wound on the person of Mr.. Holm. If this
be correct statement of this case, officer
Huck will be most likely justified. 1t will
be recollected that officer Gebhardt lost
his life but short time since while con-
veyiDg a prisoner TO the lookup, and
officer Huck might justly have supposed
his life in danger when shot at.
The Police Board means, no doubt, to
give its officers, when it authorizes them to
go armed when on actual duty, protection
against the scores of murderers, thieves
and bullies that infest our city and who,
when arrested for an offense, invariably
resist the officer arresting them and fire.
luenty use violence in order to escape
rom the clutches of the law. 1t is against
hese law-breakers that police officers may
Use their arms in the performance of their
public duties, but they should be very care
ul not to become law-breakers themselves.
Therefore, they should use discretion and
not resort to violence unless threatened
with violence.
There is already manifested much preiu-
lice and opposition to the police force now
,eing organized under the new law, and it
'ehooves every member to act with great
leal of circumspection and judgment. In
act, the Police Board can not be too care
III in the selection Of the men who are to
'e the guardians Of the public peace, as
veil as the protectors of life and property
q New Orleans. Let the Board look to its
1uties properly, and permit no man to walk
he streets with commission in his pocket
without performing the duties correctly in
,umbent upon him.

The Times of this morning, after quoting
from the Treasurer's report of the finances
o. the State, says:
Thus stands Louisiana. No State in the
Union has more magnificent resources, and
her debt, as will be perceived, is a mere
bagatelle. That her securities have ruled
of late at SO low figure is due entirely to
revolutionary changes and the insecurity
and irregularities consequent thereon. II
is to be hoped that order will, ere long, be
brought out of chaos, and that the credit
will be placed on substantial basis.

The Times reminds US that it was Ed
ward A. Pollard, brother to the deceased
II. Rives, who is the author of the "Lost
Cause and many other political absurdi-
ties. and not the victim of the recent assas-
sination. We confess to limited knowl-
edge of the personnel of the Pollards, but
remember that one of them has acquired
an unenyiable notoriety as a political
Ishmael. 1t is said. that the;deceased never
subscribed to the absurdities of his
brother. As Democrat remarked yester-
day, in connection with another matter, we
regret the necessity for the correction.

We have received marked copy of the

Its course from New York to New Or

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

We see by resolution adopted at q
meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Police
Commissioners recently that all members
Of the force are authorized to carry fire.
arms while actually on duty. This would
indicate that the Commissioners had dis
cussed the propriety of continuing the prae-
tice of arming the force Recent events
may have led to the discussion, for within
the short space Of three or four days, no
less than three police officers have deemed
it necessary to use their firearms. On
last Saturday night Sergeant Whittier while
making his usual rounds had occasion
to cry shalt to some parties who were in
advance Of him, aud as they did not heed
his command, drew his revolver and shot
twice. He says he shot in the air, and up.
ward, not intending to hit anybody, biz
only object being to have the parties hal

may, man was killed, and Sergeant Whit

The work on the Baton Rouge. Crosse
Tete and Opelousas Railroad goes bravely
on. The road in few days will be in
magnificent running order. We are in
formed this morning that the cars were
running between the West Baton Rouge
and Rosedale stations, but later we were as
sured that such was not the fact. The
cars, however, will be running between
the Gosss Tete and Mississippi river some
time next week.
