Some of our contemporaries, not content
with making charges of fraud and corruption
against the city government, as q palliation
or justification of the attempt to consign the
rights of the people of New Orleans to the
hands of an oligarchy ofwealthy men, are now
engaged in making similar attacks on the
Democratic members of the Legislature.
These charges are SO broad and so general
that they leave no room for exceptions. They
involve all who have been chosen by the peo-
ple of New Orleans to administer their affairs,
and all who have been chosen by the Demo-
cratic people of the State to represent them
in the Legislature. Is it possible that thep eo-
ple of Louisiana and of New Orleans are so
corrupt or ignorant, that they willingly
choose scoundrels to fill the public offices, or
allow themselves to be deluded by unprinci-
pied political charlatans Is it indeed true
that the intelligent people of this State
they who have always constituted the politi-
cal community, and who, by experience and
education are versed in the conduct of public
affairs-are really no more capable Of an
honest or an intelligent participation in poll
teal privileges than the carpet-baggers and
scalawags and negroes? We certainly do not
believe it. We are sure that the charges
brought against our Democratic officials and
representatives by some of the city papers are
unfounded, and we shall continue to think SO
until those charges are taken out of the do
main of vague generality and reduced to
some ineligible and tangible shape, accom-
panied by at least reasonable evidence of their
truth. A communication in this mornings
CRESCENT treats the subject with force and
iustice

Is it true. or is it not true, that, not long
since, Gov. Warmoth sent for some of the
members of the Real Estate Owners Associa-
ton, and told them that, although he ap-
proved of the system recommended by their
bill, he could not support it because his
party would have no chance for an Office un-
der it? That he informed them that an
amendment or substitute would be intro
duced in the Legislature comforting the ap-
pointment of municipal officers on him
That he informed the gentlemen that, if they
would support his proposition, they might
select three of the administrators That the
gentlemen accepted the proposition and did
designate the persons whom they desired the
governor to appoint?

How soon the Northern Republicans get
sick of their own medicine! The New York
Times, which thinks that it was all right, an
excellent stroke of craftsmanship, to annex
Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida, and other
States on conditions that subjected them to
the rule of ignorant negroes and few knav-
ish white allies, now fatty disapproves OF the
idea of annexing St Domingo and Hayti.
1--WE have to consider" says the Times,
"Hayti and St. Domingo as they are, with
population, ignorant, treacherous, brutal
lied and lazy, and we submit that
were the political and financial
condition of this country prosperous
and assured any measure of utilization would
be inexpedient." Well, the population of those
republics" is of precisely the same stock as
that which the Republican party has in
trusted with the care of the reconstructed gov
ernments in the South, republican govern
ments" after the ideal of Charles Sumner and
Wendell Phillips. Why we would like to
know, should these be lovingly annexed, and
taken into whole-souled and unctuous afilia-
ton, and those contemptuously discarded
from the pale of American civilization and
condemned to the outer darkness of an African
anarchy or of an African confederation !?
We know that it is argued that their
political liberty will make the Southern
negroes worthy of the fraternal embrace in
which they are embodied by the federal gov
eminent Yet the Times testifies that sixty
years of political liberty have failed to redeem
the negroes of Hayti and St Domingo from
ignorance, treachery, brutality and laziness;
that it has served to aggravate all these quail
ties, and to render them wholly unfit for
''any measure of utilization" But, really, the
Times must certainly know that the only point
of interest for craftsmanship to consider in
dealing with the question of the annexation
of this island, relates to its territorial value
for commercial and agricultural purposes, not
to the character or the ultimate destiny of its
semi-barbarous population.

The discussion on the Ray charter, in the
Senate. on Friday last, ought to have sug-
gested to the Radicals in that body that they
may push their usurpations entirely too far.
Senator Braughn, we think, expressed the pre-
vailirg feeling of the people of this city, In
regard to the proposition to deprive them OF
the right of local self government and to place
their municipal affairs under the control OF
the governor. Senator Ray may sneer at the
intimated determination of the people to de-
fend their rights, and he may demonstrate,
with all the ability of first-class lawyer, the
technical power of the Legislature to do this
thing-he may prove that, according to the
formulas of the law.books the City of New
Orleans is the creature of Legislative enact
ment, and that the people of this city have no
rights that do not flow from the grace of the
find that these legal syllogisms will never con-
vince the people of New Orleans that they are
bound to submit to the whims and caprice OF
a set of men whose claim to be considered q
Legislature is derived from monstrous fraud
upon the State of Louisiana. The Rad
icals are now pushing this doctrine of the
unlimited powers Of Legislature over NUM-
cipal corporations to an extent heretofore un-
heard of in this country, an extent, indeed
which is unknown in the civilized countries
of Europe. This assumption OF despotic
power win naturally provoke inquiry as to the
reason on which it is founded, and such in
quiry must result in the discovery that it has
no foundation in justice or equity. If such
stretch of power were attempted by Legisla-
ture truly representing the people of the State,
even then it would be apt to encounter resis-
lance. What therefore, is to be expected
when it is undertaken by men who are re-
garded as intruders and usurpers, and whose
authority exercised in the way of the ordinary
forms of legislation is recognized and tolerated
only because under existing circumstances such
aquiescenceis more expedient and convenient
than resistance9 1t may be very acute in Mr..
Ray to catechise Senator Braughn as to that
gentleman's views of the propriety of resist
ance to the contemplated act of usurpation
and it may be very courageous in Mr.. Lynch
to wrap himself in his hypothetical senatorial
toga, and declare his willingness to meet this
issue; but we can assure those gentlemen that
it will require more than their acuteness, and
more than their courage to argue the people
Of New Orleans into acquiescence in this in
fanny, or to bully them into submission.
Whether or not resistance to the projected
measure would be expedient is point which
the people of New Orleans intend to decide
for themselves. Our impression is that they
will decide it in a manner not altogether agree
able to the conspirators and usurpers of
Royal street.

Grant will not tell. He gracefully accepts
the Radical votes which make him President
but he declines to crafty Radical curiosity as
to his cabinet. He turns deaf ear to all ap-
peals, and cruelty declares that nobody shall
know what he intends to do until after the in
auguration. If this is not case of cruelty to
animals, then Mr.. Bergh had better give up
his vocation.

News from Havana this morning is not very
suggestive of the speedy suppression of the
instruction. The captain general has issued
q proclamation revoking the amnesty and re-
establishing the censorship of the press. The
reason for revoking the amnesty is naively

themselves of it, but, on the contrary, their
numbers had been largely increased. Pre-
