THE CITY P0L1oE
The city police have been for . LONG

The city police have been Tor long
time unpaid.
Why is it?
We respectfully suggest that it is moi en-
tirely due to the mismanagement of the
"Heath administration" There are several
reasons for it, and we can give some oi
them.
First, we believe that neither the tax,
payers nor the moneyed men of the city
have confidence in the present city govern
ment.
As result, taxpayers are extremely re-
luctant to pay into the treasury money
which they most thoroughly believe will
be squandered.
Capitalists, also, are not only reluctant
but refuse to advance means to corpora
ton which is in the hands of inefficient
managers and whose credit is sinking day
by day. .a=F
This sentiment is increased and strength
ened by the well known fact that the CO.
ordinate branches of the city government
have little or no confidence in each other.
Mayor Conway is gentleman of good
intentions, but the Finance Committees
hold poor opinion of his financial or ad-
ministrative skill. Doubtless he heartily
reciprocates the opinion. Treasurer Mount
thinks poorly of committees, and we sus-
pect they don't very heartily subscribe to
the Mount views or suggestions.
1t is current that there are two or three
"ripgs' in the city government, and no one
of them is strong enough to direct and
control policy
We believe that if this city administIa-
tion had addressed itself to an honest,
earnest and industrious performance of its
duties, that the three and one,half months
of power it has enjoyed could have relieved
the city of embarrassment.
In regard to the police force, it is thought
by many that the fact that the immediate
control of the force has been taken from
the city administration has dampened some-
what any enthusiasm of effort in securing
their pay.
But the force must be paid. 1t is asking
too much of these men to labor for a pit
tance, and then have even that denied
them.
We urge the gentlemen of the city gov
ernment to at once drop individual schemes
and pet projects, and unitedly endeavor to
raise means to pay this police.
If after fair trial of that kind the city
can not or will not pay its guardians, we
suggest that the State take the matter in
its hands and provide at once for this pay
ment

EDITOR REPUBLICAN -As an instance OF
the ignorance, or perhaps wanton reck.
lessness and stubborn opposition to our
Governor and government, permit me to
relate an incident: ~ ip
The next day after my arrival here
being Friday, heard it mentioned among
the town loafers heresbouts that riot was
to take place last evening in the city; that
the 'sniggers" were going to rise and make
a general massacre of all Democratic cit
izens, the different clubs especially, and
that to make the affair success Governor
Warmoth had issued his proclamation,
bordering" all the colored men in the State
who could possibly reach the city to repair
thither Immediately heavily armed; and in
order to secure their attendance without
fail, he had purchased several thousand
tickets aud sent them TO various portions
of the country for distribution, both up the
Jackson railroad and up the river, thus
giving the colored people free transporta-
ton. It was positively asserted that this
had been done and that a crowd of twenty.
five colored men had been seen at
Amite city, having in their possession
these " free tickets. F" Agreeably with this
extraordinary announcement, nearly the
whole Of Livingston parish, and many from
ST. Tamnauy, in the vicinity Of the rail-
road, gathered yesterday at Hammond Sta
ton to see the colored troops, so-called,
pass. And when the down-train appeared
IN sight, grand rush was made for the
platform, each one wishing to get good
look at the supposed curiosities. But as
the train stopped, lol the colored men
were not on board. After a series of ex-

With Grant and Colfax for our leaders,
Our country we're trying to save.
Wherever our banner floats gaily,
The good work is going on fast, -...-I

Oh, Grant and Colfax forever,
Three cheers for our leaders so true;

Three cheers for the Red, White aud Blue.
The moment has come for exertion,
Well work for the cause that is right;
And honor will perch on our standard,
While treason takes refuge in fight.
As dense as the trees in the forest
Shall voters in rallyiHg be,
And the names of our valiant leaders
Shall ring through the land OF the free.

Columbia, the LAND that we cherish,
Your sons will be true to the flag

In disgrace and treason to drag.
How bright is the future before US,
With vict'ry for Colfax and Grant;
Hurrah for the statesman and speaker,
And the hero who never said Can't

This country our ancestors fought for;

With justice and right for our watchwords,
Wen flourish chorus triumphant foreer.

GRANTS FAREWELL Address
TO HIS 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 20 your
country in the hour of danger and alarm,
your magnificent fighting, Bravery and en-
durance, you have maintained the suprema-
cy of the Union and the Constitution,
overthrown all armed opposition to the
enforcement of the laws and the proclama-
tion forever abolishing slavery-the cause
and pretext of the rebellion-end opened
the way to the rightful authorities to restore
order and inaugurate peace on a permanent
and enduring basis on every foot of Ameri-
can soil. Your marches, sieges and battles,
in distance, duration, resolution and bril-
hancy Of results, dim the luster of the
worlds past military achievements, and
will be the PATRIOTS precedent in 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, fellow-countrymen, and
posterity the blessings of free institutions,
tens of thousands of your gallant comrades
with their blood. The graves of these
grateful nation bedews with tears, honors
their memories, and will ever cherish and
support their stricken families" ii1

THE GREAT REVOLUTION.

Two or three weeks ago the Herald
pointed to the result in Kentucky as the
beginning of the great revolution that was
to sweep over the country, carrying Sey-
mour and Blair on the top wave. The re-
suit in Vermont, New Mexico and Colo
RADIO has given the Herald new light. In
its issue OF the tenth it says There are
no indications anywhere of any losses on
the side of Grant OF the supporters of Lin
coin there are many indications that there
is an end of the defections in the Repub-
lican camp from which they suffered their
suggestive defeats of 1867" Evidently
that revolution promised by the Herald is
going backward.
