A city paper, it is immaterial which,
recites the history of the consolidation of the
city in 1852, whence we are told that there
was great opposition to that change-and
hence, argues the same paper, the new char
ter should be adopted. We improved the
city government in 80 by change, therefore
a change, no matter what, will improve the
city government in 80. The argument may
be very sound; but if it is sound, why not
change the charter every year, why not every
month, why not every day? Why not provide
for municipal revolutions coincident with the
revolutions of the earth on its axis? But the
charter now existent is, substantially, the
charter adopted in '52. If those who opposed
it then were fools, are we to infer that those
who want to abolish it now are pre-eminently
wise and sagacious men? But the truth is
that in 1852 there was no opposition to the
act of consolidation. 1t was adopted by the
Legislature in response to a general, almost
a universal, expression of public opinion in
favor Of the measure.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-01-26

Not long ago the people of New Orleans
sumption of power by the pretended State
Legislature, in depriving the city of its right
full control over its own police, and substitute
ing force composed of subservient whites
and ignorant negroes. The agitation was so
great that the city was nearly plunged into
the violence of a revolution, and only the
timely concessions of the terrified leaders OF
the squad of Radical adventurers averted
serious outbreak. Promises were then made
which pacifed the people These promises
have been broken, as was to have been ex-
pected; but it was not expected it could not
have been expected that the broken faith of
the Radicals would be justified by the action OF
a set of men--few in number indeed, but as
Stunning now to represent the public of New
Orleans-who, in that moment of agitation,
formed an association under the pretext of
resisting the usurpations of the so-called Legis-
lature. These gentlemen initiated a move
ment for the declared purpose of making op-
position to the illegal taxes imposed on the
people by the Legislature. Large numbers of
property holders-persons constituting an i'm
portant and influential element of the public,
although not politicians, or charter-makers by
trade-were induced to participate in the
movement What has come of it? What
but proposal on the part of a few of the
Weather members to sacrifice the principle
involved in the formation of the association
by actually negotiating with the pretended
Legislature for a recognition of the metropoli-
tan police, in return for charter which places
in the hands of small class the power to
grasp and control the municipal administra-
ton of the city government?
Is the Just and manly Indignation of the
people of New Orleans against the infamous
usurpations of the Royal street concern, to be
thus whistled down the wind? Are persons,
claiming to represent the public opinion of
New Orleans to thus insult the popular intel
lgence; to thus condemn the spontaneous
movement of the people, in October last,
against the insolence of carpet-baggery; to
thus, without protest. and without censure,
consummate a purpose which places the peo-
pie of New Orleans in the wrong, and adds to
successful fraud, on the part of the Radicals,
the advantages of a moral triumph. Let the
people speak on this point. They do not ap-
prove of the sale of their rights to Radical
Legislature. They do not wish to be sub.
jected to the irresponsible domination of the
men who have contrived this project.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-01-26

If the projected charter is to be adopted by
the Legislature, we demand in the name of
the people of New Orleans, popular vote on
the measure. Let us see whether the people
really desire that their municipal government
be converted into an aristocracy whether they
are willing to yield up their rights of local
selfgovernment at the suggestion or demand
of self-constituted charter-mongers whether
they will ratify the bargain by which the in
famous Metropolitan Police is to be fastened
on the city in manner which viii imply that
the people of this city were in the wrong when
they assembled in front of the City Hall to de-
mand the abdication of the usurpers who then
pretended to control our police government.
The people of New Orleans demand that they
be permitted to vote on this question.

1t is urged as a reason for ratifying the St
Thomas treaty and appropriating seven mil
lion dollars to pay for the island, that Mr..
Seward has so deeply committed the 'nation-
al honor" in the matter, that he cannot recede,
whence it is argued that the United States is
bound to pay over the money and receive the
nice little repository of earthquakes in ques-
ton. The New York Evening Post replies to
this that the government of the United States
is not bound by Mr.. Stewards acts, when that
acquisitive gentleman exceeds his powers, but
that if he has really committed himself SO far
that he cannot recede, he ought to pay up the
seven million dollars like a man, and take
possession of the island.

The Baltimore American publishes some
documents purporting to be the confessions
of two of the persons tried before the military
commission for the murder of President
Lincoln. These pretended confessions bear
the marks of impudent forgery in almost every
line. Why they should be produced now it is
hard to conceive, unless it be for the purpose
of modifying the feeling of disgust and hatred
with which the public are beginning to regard
all the participants in that most infamous
episode in American history. But a feeling
of this kind is not to be mitigated by adding
a new store of falsehood to the stock of fraud
and forgery with which the case was already
burdened. Themurder of Mrs. Surratt, the
audacious and fhsolent usurpation of power
over the lives of American citizens by the tools
of vindictive faction, and the indecent at
tempt to imphcate President Davis and his
cabinet in a scheme of assassination, by the
suborned testimony of professional perjurers,
constitute chapter of crime scarcely to be
paralleled in any age, and unequaled in
modern times among civilized governments.
The time is not distant when the American
people will visit just retribution on those who
thus outraged the Constitution, trampled on
the laws and brought shame and humiliation
on the American name. In the meantime it
would be discreet for those who abetted these
infamous crimes, or who sympathize with
them, to refrain from calling public attention
to them. 1t is for the interest Of such persons
that the degrading incidents of that carnival
of wicked folly should, if possible, be cov-
cred by thick veil of oblivion. What are we
to think of those who again parade their Grim
inal shame by attempting to impose new
batch of forgeries upon the country?

UNION BANK OF LoUIsIANA.-In another
column will be seen the result of an election
which has just transpired in this popular
institution. The list before us indicates the
names of several well known gentlemen,
standing high in our community for probity
and ability, and offering safe guarantee Ito
its continued prosperity.
Our old and highly esteemed friend Mr..
Samuel G. Bell, was unanimously chosen as
president at this meeting, and with the valua-
bic assistance of that able cashier Geo. A.
Freret, the Union Bank has no cause to APP
prehend aught than brilliant future.

PERsoNAL.-We were yesterday gratifed to
receive a visit from Mr.. r. F. Madison, of
Quitman, Wood county, Texas. Mr.. Mattl-
son is the editor of the Texas Clarion, pub
lished at Quitman, paper which, located as
it is, in the heart of fertile country, whose
population is daily increasing, forms valua-
bic advertising medium for those New Orleans
merchants who desire to extend their bust
ness through as wide a region as possible.
Mr. Madison is staying at the City Hotel,
where he would be happy to receive the ad-
yertising fayors of the citizens of New Or
leans.

What is the pretext for converting the city
government into hierarchy? Why, to make
it simple. And to make the city government
simple we are to be governed by six men, in
vested with extraordinary and arbitrary
powers, and required to give bond of a kind
that insures their selection from among a
favored class. These men may be incompe-
tent; they may be delinquent; they may be
corrupt; but there is no way to get rid of
them. No provision is made for their i'm
parchment or removal from Office during their
term; and their terms are SO contrived-one-
half retiring every two years-that they be-
come perpetual body, with power to re-elect
themselves or their creatures continually
power which it is not in human nature that
they should neglect to use.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-01-26

GOVERNMENT Nor A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.
fatal infelicity seems to attend the Ian
guage of those who have undertaken to de-
fend the peculiar features of the new oil
garchical charter for this city. Among other
instances of this kind, it is gravely urged as
the browning merit of the proposed plan that
it is intended and adapted to enable the
bureaucratic hexarchs to carry on the city
government as any other business corpora
ton, firm, or enterprise would be carried on.
But is the city government business corpo-
ration? Most assuredly not, in its Legitimate
and wholesome functions What is the first,
the last thought, the thought always, of men
united in a business association? 1t is to make
money for themselves, in every way possible,
in the shortest time possible. By the very
nature of their position and pursuit, they
are precluded from consulting the interests of
other individuals in business or of the COM
munity at large. 1t is, in short, their bust
ness to be selfish, grasping, and, in a certain
sense, INSCRIPTIONS. But what is the proper
Office of city government? Not to enrich
itself surely, by heartless exactions from the
industry, and commerce, and wealth of the
city; but to perform its necessary functions
with the most scrupulous tenderness for all
of these. But the advocates of the proposed
hierarchy repudiate this idea. According to
them, the administrators should think only of
enriching their departments and themselves
on the principle that it is the supreme end of
a municipal administration to make money
though the city in general should thereby
be impoverished.
