the beginning. The contemplated legislation
against the judiciary, and against the execu-
tive, is an arrogant and audacicus attempt on
the part of Congress to suppress the c0ordi-
nate branches of the government But the
country is on its guard against this attemp'.
It's effect will be still further to weaken the
Republican party; still further to strengthen
the Democrats party. The desperate politi-
cal gamblers at Washington have refused to
listen to the protests of the people, expressed
through the ballot-box; but their refusal has
aroused feeling of indignant opposition
which may eliminate in an irresistible whirl-
wind of popular opinion.

The DEMOCRATIC CoMMITTEE-We would
respectfully direct the attention of the men,
bers of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee to the fact that meeting for the
transaction of very important business will
be held this evening, at o'clock, on the cor
ner of Theater Alley and Common street.
We hope that there will be full attendance.
The committee are now perfecting their
organization, and preparing for a vigorous
campaign against radicalism in Louisiana.
They willalso, We presume, make immediate
preparations for calling mass meeting in
this city of the opponents of radicalism, and
State convention of the Democratic party.
for the purpose of appointing delegates to
the Democratic National Convention. We
hope that the voters of the various wards in
New Orleans, and of the parishes throughout
the State, will second this movement by
organizing ward and parish Democratic clubs.
No time is to. be lost. The task to be achieved
is difficult, but united and energetic effort
will overcome apparently insuperable OBJ
stacles

SIGNS OF THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION

We notice that the Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee of Pennsylvania have called
meetings in every county of that State, to
protest against the violent, reckless and I'M
constitutional course of the majority in Con-
gress. This is a symptom of the deep feeling
Of indignation which the attempt of the radi-
Gals to enthrone their party on the ruins of
the Constitution and the government has
aroused throughout the country. The cleo
tons of last year were protest against the
radical scheme of reconstruction, and its
accompanying acts of Legislative tyranny and
despotism. But that protest fell upon heed
less and unwilling ears. The pretence of
obedience to the popular viii, which was
urged as an excuse for every infraction of the
Constitution, for every violation of the prin-
ciples of public liberty, and for the subyer-
sion of the rights of the States, was instantly
abandoned. The thin disguise fell from the
limbs of radicalism. 1t was no LONGER
assumed that the Republican party was emit
tied to exercise supreme power because
it represented the majority of the peo-
pie. The majority of the people had de-
clareu against lIs ana II was then declared
that public opinion must yield to the will of
the Republican party. Instead of modifying
their policy to meet the views and wishes of
the country, they resolved to carry it into
effect in spite of the views and wishes of the
country. But just to the extent that
public opinion was against them, just
to that extent they find it neces-
sary to resort to more extreme and
more violent measures for the contamination
Of their policy and the accomplishment of
their designs. 1t would be easy enough to
work their will upon the subjugated and unre-
sisting South, if they were backed by ma
jority of the people in the dominant section.
But the task is harder when they have to beat
down the pronounced opposition of the coun-
try. In the hands of minority determined |
to usurp the rights and powers of the major
ty, fraud and audacity have sometimes
proved effective weapons. But they are ef.
ective only when the people are taken by
surprise.
The whole reconstruction legislation of
congress has been confession of fraud from

An OLD BAR JoKE.-A friend furnishes us with
the following:
Though highly cultivated and intelligent. the
late A. NJ. Hooper was remarkable for his mai
vete" and absence Of mind.
IN bis early manhood, he was for some years a
solicitor for the State.
Formeriy-even now-in North Carolina but
little discrimination was exercised in the selection
OF justices of the peace.
There was one Joe King, whom Mr.. Hooper lad
had frequent occasion to prosecute for misiemea-
nors. Conceive Of his astonishment on entering
the courthouse, at the opening of one of the
terms Of the Court Of Pleas and Quarter Sessions.
when he discovered King seated upon the bench.
With his usual impulsiveness, lifting his finger
threateningly. he Numbered out:
You Joe King, come down there instantly
how dare you. sir, seat yourself there ~
With an inimitable travesty of Judicial dign;-
ty, King, greatly to Mr.. Hooper's confusion, in
formed him that he had held his seat by virtue of
commission under the great seal Of the State
that If he, Mr.. Hooper, did not pay proper res
pect TO the court, the court would be constrained
TO punish him for contempt; and that, though his
name was Joe King, he was not Joking now.

THE FAIR To-DAY.-The weather promises
to be favorable to-day, and we trust there viii
be general attendance at the Fair Grounds
of those who have not yet found time to go.
The fair is soon to close. and there are many
who would be glad to go. if they had time.
We allude, more especially, to the clerks in
our mercantile houses, and others who have
not control of their own movements, and we
suggest that to-day it would be well to close
early so that all employees may have
chance to visit and encourage fair which has
for its object the development of the indus
trial resources of not Louisiana only but the
whole country. Let us make it a speciality
to-day to let all those go to the fair whose
business engagements have heretofore pre-
vented them. The entertainments to-day will
bemore than usually attractive.

Cost OF CITY WATER WoRKs.-Chicago,
since the completion of the lake tunnel, is
congratulating itself on the comparative
cheapness with which it has procured an
excellent supply of water. The total cost
of the tunnel and the works and pipes con-
nected with it was 81, 761 ,s94. In New York
the water works cost $23,500000; in Brook
lyn, S5000,000; in Boston, $5,500000; in
Philadelphia, exclusive of the system of dis
tribution S3,000,000; in Washington, $780,
600; in st. Louis 81, 100000; in New Orleans,
81, 100000; in Cincinnati, $1,359000. The
cost of the water supply for Baltimore is
probably as great, in view of the nearness of
the source of supply and the natural convent
ences for reaching it, and the extent of that
supply, as that of any other Of the cities
named. According to the late report of the
city register our water debt amounts to 81
631 900, representing the whole cost, it is pre-
sumed Of the purchase made from the old
water company, the subsequent acquisition of
additional water rights and the necessary
constructions for the enlarged supply.
