"Radical Democracy" has be-
come Of late, in the estimation OF
certain nondescript Journalists, a
phrase of the severest reproach.

when they want to crush him the
feat is fairly achieved by employ

logician will dispute-that there
is a great deal of argument in
this style of writing, it has the
fascination of savage pleasure

terrific and fatal:

And what Democrat, who is hon
estly such, is not radically consis-
tent, virtuous and Constitutional
in his sentiments and feelings .
If Democracy be right, then it is
radically right; otherwise it is rad
ically wrong. If it's principles are
right, where is. the reproach in adj
herring to them : Rather, would
it not be base desertion to aban-
don them
If the class of writer's referred

publican. of extreme views, in the
similarity of principles maintained
or injurious tendency of their APP

words but acts that evince ones
faith and that the first step to be-
coming a Republican is to cease
to be a Democrat. We have seen
instances where a single leap car
ried the individual from Democ-
racy, past the halfway house, to
tho ranks of the Conservative Re-

Another favorite source from
which reproach is drawn by these
writers is to charge individual

THE NEW ORLEANS TIMES.

y
An Incidental allusion to the
New Orleans Times and it's editor
in an article which appeared in this
paper two weeks ago, is made the
pretext for an abusive attack by
that INSCRIPTIONS journal upon
the editor of the TELEGRAPH.-
Not he alone is made the object of
tina Times's abuse, but, with VEN
ON characteristic of the wounded
viper, that paper assails the peo-
pie of Ouachita Parish for "their
tolerance of McCranie," and says
that ..they should humble them
selves in dust and ashes for the
act of insane fony.'
That we have fallen under the
displeasure of the Times, is q mat
ter Of no regret with us. Its opin-
ion of our course-its praise or its
censure-are alike to us matters
Of indifference. During the four
and a-half years Of the existence
Of the TELEGRAEH, it has been
our pleasure to conduct it, few
months excepted, without an ex-
change with the Times. 1t was,
therefore, only through the in
strumentality Of a friend that the
article OF the Times came under
our observation.
In the article published in the
TELEGRAPH it was stated that the
editor of the Times was s'neyer a
Democrat, but always Il Republi-
cam 1t appears that this asser-
ton has seriously disturbed the
passions of the Times editor, and
he takes to the filthy mire of I'M
scrupulous journalism as though
that were his natural clement
IF we do, not reply in the same in
decorous style, it will be due sole
IL to q regard for distance and
reputation, and not from any ap-
prehension or fear of the man.
In one particular, it further ap-
pears, we were incorrect. The
publisher and proprietor of the
Times (who was the party referred
toy has taken the pains, as we
have since discovered, that no
faint of disloyalty may rest upon
his Republicanism, to inform the
readers of the Times that he is on
~ the publisher, while another
party by the name of Bigny (who
is not Republican, and was not
the party referred toy is the editor
of the Times. Thus, unwitingly,
the blow aimed for the master
fell upon the servant, and we were
made to impugn the Southern
.sympathies of man who had
been, as he informs us. ssimprison-
ed by Banks for his political opin-
ions!" OF Mr.. Bigny we know
nothing whatever, except that he
has scrubbed some verses which
he has collected in book form and
sent forth to the world as Poetry,
and that he says he was 'impris-
oned by Banks for his political
opinions" and that we have his
further statement to the effect |
that he has never been and never |
expects to be a Republican,
Further than this all the chronf- !
cles we have consulted are silent |
as to the history of Mr.. Bigny.
The indignant denial and objur-
cation of the faith of the owner
Of the Times by it's editor only
strengthens. the indictment pre-
ferred by us against that paper
The Times does not deny, what
must have been perfectly clear to
it's editors was the re!ll intent of
our charge, that the proprietor of
the Times is Republican, nor

T We notice with pleasure
that Capt. McCranie, of the QUA
CHlTA TELEGRAPH. has returned
from Washington City and is
again at his post as editor OF
that sterling Democratic paper
He was refused his seat in Con-
gress, to which he was elected by
a large majority of the registered
vote, and the election has been
sent back to the people of his
District. We hope. and believe
that he will again receive the
nomination.-N oechitoches Times.
1t is a pleasure to us to ac-
knowledge our indebtness to the
Times. and to several other CO.
temp6raries whose kindness we
have felt constrained to neglect,
but have not forgotten.
Of Congressional honors, we
assure our friend of the Times
and he at least will believe us sim
cere-we are not ambitious. Our
experience thus far leads us to
prefer the obscurity and repose of
the private station: where the alb
sence of distinction is more than
atoned for by freedom from envy
and calumny.

This extract was used by the
Radicals in Congress to show tho
violence of Louisiana Democracy,
and as such it stands unrivalled
by all the newspaper articles COL
lected by the Stevenson investi-
eating committee of the House.

Kellogg, its laudations of Sheldon,

to exalt among the people, fur

men of its city as Jonas and Eus-
It's and Gibson and Austin and to
native worth and merit all over
the State, furnish an answer. In

nay despise but cannot escape,

jeff Davis, his ruler, and also of
the causes which led to his final
release.
But the "wound1ess" Times is
pleased to say that.our "last effort
is an endorsement of a falsehood
from the columns of the Louisi-
ana Democrat" The Times is
aware of it's responsibility and of
the fact that defamation here
amounts to nothing-it is not an
evidence even of courage. The
Times may assert that we have
endorsed the accusations brought
by the Democrat, now character
lied as false by the Times, and
the assertion fail for want of proof
to sustain it, in which case the ed
itor of the Times will stand in the
attitude of slanderer, with facts
as his accusers. Now, Sir Knight
of Light and Wisdom, stand forth
with thy proof, and look thee we'll

have done with thee thou wilt

hast needed

Of n new piece but the blunders of last evening
were inexcusable, and 1t Is scarcely worth while
to attempt to criticize performance when the
prompter is the only person who appears TO
have any correct ideas about the dialogue.
Planche's FoUies of a Night is a very amusing
little comedy, and there is no reason why If set
to appropriate music, IL should not succeed as
an opera, whether under the title of The Little
Duchess or anything else that may be deemed
suitable; but when the public are invited to wit
ness dress rehearsal, there ought to be an un-
derstanding to that effect, and then there will be
no disappointments.

The operate piece producedlast evening at the
Chestnut by the Galton troupe is an adaptation
of the amusing little French comedy, by j. X.
Planche, known to playgoers under the title OF
The Follies of Night, which is performed at
some of our theatres nearly every season.
Planche adapted it from piece called Chariot,
by Messrs Lockroy, Anicet Bourgeois, and Van
derburch, which has also been made use of by
Auber as the libretto of his opera of The Black
Domino. The Little Duchess is announced as a
comic opera by Offenbach, but we hayea shrewd
suspicion that Mrs. Galton has merely
taken Planches piece and arranged for 1t such
airs as she thought suitable. If this be so, The
Little Duchess cannot fairly be called one OF
offenbachs operas, although all the music may
be of his composing. Some of the airs sung
last evening were quite pretty, although none OF
them were very striking, and If this Is really q

Dachesse, it is far from being up to his usua
