SMALL Farms AND THEIR POLITICAL
INPLUENCG.

One of the city papers doubts whether
small farming can ever be made as pro-
ductive as the old plantation system. Onr
view of the matter is that it can be made
more productive, and that until planters
dispose of their lands to email farmers the
prosperity of Louisiana will not reach the
point attained before the war The system
of labor has entirely changed. There is
involuntary servitude no longer, and every
laborer is entitled now to the full benefit
of his own earnings. The owners of plant
ations do not own the bones and sinews
Of plantation laborers, and can not compel
them to toll without an adequate compen-
satien.
If hundred plantation slaves could pro-
duce given quantity of cotton under a
system Of compulsory labor, a hundred
freedmen, each cultivating mis- own small
tract of land, can produce equally as
much of the staple, and with this
difference-that the profits OF the crop here
tofore absorbed by the one owner of the
large plantation, will, under the small farm
system, be difused and distributed among
the hundred free laborers. Each in time
from the profits of his labor, will erect his
comfortable cottage, beautify the grounds
around it, and where once dwelling houses
were widely scattered and miles apart, vii
lagos will be built up, dotted with the
schoolhouse and church. Education will
become universal, and we shall have a
population that will possess an interest in
the government, and will feel direct
responsibility in its proper administration.
We DO not expect this will be the work
of day or year. But these results will
be reached in time, and the political infu-
ences of a government Of the people win
create greater degree of prosperity than
the South ever knew before.

THE REAL RBPuDIATORs.

A contemporary who seems to be very
fearful that the finances of the city may be
restored to credit by the present municipal
administration says:
The proposed sale of the market stalls
does not appear to help the issues much
Some parties entertain the belief that these
sales and contracts may be repudiated next
year, the same as the contract and lease
with the New York mail steamship COM
pany.
1t may be just as well to remember that
the Reputation of the contract and lease
with the New York mail steamship company
was the act of Mayor Monroe aud Surveyor
Pile, assisted by their willing tools the then
common council. The contract and lease
had been made by the military municipal
administration during the war, and Mr..
Monroe and his cohorts attempted to repu-
date it as Yankee affair" The results
were signal defeat in the courts,
judgment against the city for eight thou
sand dollars damages, an expenditure by
the city Of five to ten thousand dollars in
counsel fees, and loss 10 the city Of about
twenty thousand dollars in rent. No loyal
administration has ever repudiated any Of
its contracts, and the only fears that should
be entertained on this score should spring
from an apprehension that the party who
inflicted Monroe on the community may
again come into power.

REa1srR.ArInN.

The board of registration appointed by
the Constitutional convention purposes
appointing supervisors of the elections for
each election precinct in the state. These
officers will in no way interfere with the
duties of the officers appointed by the
Military commander, but their chief duty,
as we understand, will be to watch the
registration and the elections, to detect vio-
lations of law, and to see that the guilty
parties are duly punished.
Every citizen who can honestly do so
should register and vote; but those who
violate the law and commit perjury will
ultimately find that they have paid much
too dearly for the privilege.

VOTING.

1t is frequent remark Of the over-zeal-
Gus and too iadisereet rebels that . the
new constitution must be defeated, even II
1t Is necessary to resort to force to prevent
colered men from voting" The sensible
and respectable citizens Of Louisiana have
had quite enough Of riot and bloodshed,
and desire peace prosperity, and the en-
forcement Of ihe lswH; but in this COM
munity there are hotheaded fools who, II
unrestrained By wlael L not better men,
may make trouble which il viii require

GROWING SUSPICIOUS.

The following neat little compliment to
the Democracy Of this state appeared in one
of their Camp street organs yesterday:
They (the Democratic central committee)
thought and still think that the weakness
of poor human nature might render many
men - particularly those of an uncertain
political record-willing to accept fat Office
under a very Objectionable constitution, and
even to favor the latter if the former de-
pended upon it.
Who would have supposed that the rebel
conservative party had the least mixture of
" the weakness of poor human nature" in its
composition? What sad commentary
upon all the well-direoted efforts
10 defeat the constitution it woRld
be if the Democratic o6ice-seek-
ers and their supporters should vote
for the constitution after all, in order that
they may enjoy the emoluments of office.
And why should they not do SO? That in
strument does not disfranohise such Of them
as are already voters. It shuts out only a
few old professional place-hunters who
have sworn allegiance first to the United
States and then to the confederate states,
and hundred or so editors and faithless
pastors of flocks who used their great in
fuence in the cause of treason. There is
really little sympathy between these dis
franchised gentlemen aud the people whom
they cheated and robbed. Ii will not be
surprising therefore if the latter look out
for their own interests at the coming cleo
ton, and thus assist by their votes in get.
ting rid of their formidable competitors in
political primary meetings. There is GER
tainly good grounds for the fears enter
tanned by the executive committee.

two of our Contemporaries that there was
Ss4, 600 in greenbacks in the city treasury,
and that the first warrant issued under the
proposed ordinance to create certificates Of
Indebtedness win be paid in greenhaoks,
may deceive some people who put 100 i'm.

hacks to pay coupons, and Of this amount
Al but 500 was exhausted Yesterday.

As an act of justice to Mr. Bradish John
son We publish the following letter from
him, although we can not indOrse the
course he thinks proper to pursue. Every
citizen of this country owes duty to his
God and duty to his country, and in
Louisiana, especially, both require that the
employer should endeavor to instruct his
employees in their Christian and Political
duties. Instead of forbidding the assem-
bling Of clubs on his plantations we think
that at this crisis they should be encour-
aged, and attended, and addressed by Mr..
Johnson:
New ORLEANS, March 81, 1868.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
SIR-Under an article headed "a Rebel
Plan" it is stated that ] will discharge any
of my emplOye who participate in Repub.
lican clubs, and moreover that will punish
as trespassers any parties entering on my
plantation without my consent. Now, sir,
wish you to publish the exact state Of the
case.
have never at any time, nor do l ever
intend to interfere with the politics of any
of my people; they have perfect right to
vote for whom they please and
when they please, and no interior
ence on my part shall ever prevent them in
so doing. In matters of politics, as well as
religion, they are their own masters.
What have objected to and what will
object to is the formation of clubs and
holding of public meetings on my planta-
lions, as they tend to demoralize the hands,
and cause Interruptions in my agricultural
pursuits; they are free to hold their meet
ings the same as their white brethren at
public places.
As regards the notices alluded to as
against trespassers, they have been posted
on my plantations for months, the same as
every farmer has at the North, forbidding
all parties trespassing on his premises, and
were placed there as much for the protec-
ton of my people as myself.
As regards the paragraph abiding to the
discharge of hands for political causes and
their being maintained by the freedmen's
bureau, there need be no fears of any
changes on my account, nor any necessity
of any process from United States courts
to counteract any attempt on ray part to
esta blsh laws akin to slavery.
AS regards my own political opinions,
they are Independent of the control OF any
man, and have always acted on the same
basis as regards my actions in the opinions
Of others.
In reply to the charge of "Rebel Plan"
probably, sir, you forget that every dollar
of my property was sequestered in conse.
quence OF my adherence to the Union of
the states.
Believing that you would not allow your
paper to be used as a means of injury 70
any man,
l remain, sir,
Your obedient servant,
BRADISH JOHNSON.
