gave us a specimen Of the manner in which
colored men are induced to attend Demo.
cratic meetings, Conseript officers were
stationed on Canal street, and every colored
man who came along was collared, and,
willing or not, unceremoniously trotted up
stairs into their hall. They can not so

During the past week we have had de-
lighttul weather, both for enjoyment as
well as for the growing crops.
The corn crop is made and will probably
be adequate to the wants of the parish.
The cane though small, looks we'll, and with
favorable season from this time forward
Iberville will probably make from 5000 to
$500 hogsheads of sugar this season, against
1900 as the product of 1867 With the ex-
ceptton of good many cases of internit-
tent fever, which are not serious, the health
of our parish is good.
BAYOU PLAQUEMINE.-A bill has been in
treduced in the State Legislature by Mr.. p.
G. Deslonde, Representative from Iberville
entitled ''an act to provide for opening and
eXcavating Bayou Plaquemine, and cutting
and removing the dyke or dam that now
closes the mouth, and to restore the naviga-
ton of that great outlet of the Mississippi
river"
A large portion of the parish is interested
in this question, and We believe that some
Of Mr.. Deslonde's near neighbOrs are the
most Interested We have always thought
that the bayou should have been kept open
as a natural outlet for the surplus waters of
the Mississippi river but 1t has now been
closed for over two years, and it would be
most unjust to an extensive portion Of the
parish to open it now without having made
preparatory works The outlets Of the
Plaquimine, namely, the SorreIl bay lower
and upper Grand river, must be cleared of
their drift and precautions should be taken
to build substantial leVees along the Pla-
quemine and lower Grand river to prevent
the escape of waters south to the overflow
of the lands in lower lberville and the La
fourche parishes.

a ard to the Republican Party..TO the
GOlOred Aen EspeclallV

Having received intelligence that you are
about to commit something that would dis
grace the party in which you and are
members, let me give you one word of ad
vice: In the first place do not act without
thinking. Be careful and consider the wei
fare Of the country with calm and cool con-
sideration. You all know that each man
has right to belong to whatever party he
wishes, and therefore you must not iniure,
or try to deprive another of his rights,
whatsoever they are--whether he belongs
to your party or the opposite one. AsI am
in favor of peace and harmony l seriously re.
quest you of the Republican party to permit
the gentlemen who spoke at the Democratic
meeting, on Canal street. last Friday after
noon, to pursue the course they desire with
out being molested by any one Of our party;
and as much as we consider that they are
pursuing the wrong course, let us use our
better judgment and try to convince them
by force of argument and not by violence.
New Orleans Republican., 1868-08-04

then, the questions at issue be freely dis
cussed. We wish nothing more than this
we should do great wrong to desire any
thing less.

The Australasian news which we printed in
the HERALD of yesterday from the pens of our
special correspondents in those regions giving
the Duke Of Edinburg, the state and condition
of the Prince and the trial and condemnation
of the miserable would-be assassin, O'Farrell,
is, we have little doubt by this time and
through the agency Of the Atlantic cable, in
free and general circulation over Great Britain.
We have reason to believe that the special
intelligence printed in the HERALD of yester
day has been telegraphed to the Queen and
government of England. The Cabinet in
London, not to speak of the British press,
will thus again be indebted to the enter
prise of the NEW YORK HERALD for first intel
ligence of great and important facts. To our
agent in London they were again and again in
debted for news of the condition and prospects
of the army in Abyssinia. Now they are, as
we are informed, equally indebted to us for in
formation as to the facts and circumstances
connected with the attempted assassination of
the young Duke of Edinburg.
From certain point of view all this is i'm
portant but, after all, it is only secondary to
this other and grander consideration-that the
Pacific world, which is just beginning to de-
velop ITSELF is to prove an immense source of
wealth to the United States. China and Japan,
so long sealed books to all the rest of the
world, are taking their places among the COM
mercial nations of the earth. Their immense
resources, when more fully developed, will
give an impetus to trade Of which as vet we
nearer China and Japan than Great Britain or
any Of the nations of Europe; and American
influence in both countries, as is manifest even
now by the Burlingame mission and other cir
cumstances, is to be paramount in those coun-
tries. II is now equally manifest that Australia
is nearer to us than 1t is to England, and that
Europe generally must at no distant day receive
its Australian news almost, IL not entirely.
through us. The whole Pacific world is thus
bound up with the growing prosperity of the
United States. The star of empire, which has
moved westward for SO many centuries. has at
length halted, and il is now shedding and promi-
ses long TO continue to shed its benignant rays on
the great central nation Of the earth. Whether
European enterprise seeks field in China,
Japan or Australasia, or whether the wealth of
the Pacific seeks a market in Europe. the
United States must inevitably gain. Ours is
the favored position. We stand between two
worlds. We must benefit by--perhaps at last
absorb-the wealth OF both. The Pacific and
the Atlantic coasts of this Continent will
become richer and richer The interior Of the
Continent will be developed beyond even the
highest expectation. San Francisco and New
York will, in point Of bulk and wealth. at no
distant day be without rivals on the surface of
the globe. Real estate in both cities, in New
York especially, will reach q point unprece-
dented in the annals of the world.

The Managers who have presented their in
dictment against President johnson to the
Senatorial Court of Impeachment seem to be
disposed to create another court and present
new impeachment. The respondents in this
trial are the Senators who are supposed to be
honest enough to vote to-day according
to their oaths and consciences. The Pres
ident's counsel were also cited before
the Managers court. The testimony of Mr..
Evarts was sought for, and sundry reporters
were notified that their evidence would be ac-
ceptable in order to substantiate the informa-
ton furnished to the honorable" Managers by
the spies and detectives whom, 1t is said,
they have employed to ferret out, through pub
lie and private channels, charges of bribery
and corruption against the Senators who are
considered doubtful on conviction. Are the
Managers going to play the r6le of the Com
mittee of Public Safety in the French Revolu-
tion? II looks very like it. Not content with
trying the head of the government for high
crimes and misdemeanors, they are undertaking
to try some of the Senators and the counsel
for the defence for bribery and conspiracy to
bribe. II is not necessary to say that their
constitutional powers do not extend thus far
but the faction which the Managers represent
has so little regard for constitutions and laws
that it may dare anything while the reins Of
ascendancy remain in its hands.

and Pereire-have been very actively en-
ployed during the past three months In
facilitating them. It seems, indeed, as II
Americans travelling to and from Europe
patronize the French line almost exclusively;
and there is little doubt that the feet,
managed with such accuracy of detail and
under such accomplished command, will have
to be soon augmented.
This will be very great boon, not only to
our fashionable friends, but to the mercantile
community and members of the press; for by
the present service of the French companys
vessels trade letters, with our special news
correspondence and files, are very frequently
delivered in New York two days ahead of such

There is general assumption from various
radical quarters that unless President johnson
is convicted there will be bloodshed. Tho
radicals of Missouri, in their communication to
Senator Henderson, threaten bloodshed. Mr..
Schenck, of Ohio, talks in the same sanguine-
GUS strain. Mr. Moss is the bloodiest of all in
his prophecies of the red tide that is to flow IL
the radical views with regard to the immediate
decapitation and absolute annihilation of john
son are not carried out. Even General Grant
is reported, upon the testimony of this gentle
man, to incline to the opinion that dire disasters
are about to befall us if Mr.. johnson is not re-
moved. Now, it might be worth while for
sensible people to ask who is going to fight
about this matter. Who is going to shed his
neighbor's blood whether johnson is convicted
or acquitted? Who, in fact, cares a button
about the result Of the impeachment except the
persons in Office and the persons who expect
to get Office? The general public, outside the
line of betting men, perhaps, care nothing
about it. Everybody, Of course, is anxious to
see the disgraceful affair brought to an end,
one way or the other, and wiped out of memory,
in order that the country may 90 on evenly on
its path Of progress, prosperity and the de-
velopment of its resources, unembarrassed by
the miserable factionism of which this impeach-
ment farce is the fruit. As for any bloodshed
coming out of it, this is all humbug. The
thing is so fat, stale and Improbable that no
one is stupid enough to hit his neighbor on the
sconce either in behalf of Andrew johnson or
in opposition to him.

PARISH TIOKETs.

There is too much oarelessness in order
ing the parish tickets. The name and place
OF every candidate should be settled before
sending the order. Again, it is in most in
stances impossible for us to decide who are
and who are not the regular nominees. MOI
unfrequently after tickets have been order,
ed and printed and sent away other gentle.
men from the same parishes inform us that
the candidates have been changed, or were
'erroneously reported at first. Under the
circumstances the rule which seems most
Just Is to M no orders for the regular ticket
except from those whom we know to be
true naolcalss ana 70 print on that ticket
only the names Of those who we are as.

we shall follow,
