A Consistent COpperhead.


The Chicago Tribune thus
shows up the course OF its Chi
cago rival on the great war
question. Our German fellow
citizens will take notice that
here are called TO- mind a few
of the facts of recent history.
The Tribune proceeds: The
Chicago Times Is severely cen.
sured for its warm advocacy of
the Bonaparte side of the con-
test between France and Ger
many, and for the bitter hostil'
ity it eyinces towards the Ger
mans. But it can hardly be
blamed for its course. 1t cero
tainlv is not liable to the
charge of inconsistency or in
gratitude. Throughout the
long struggle between freedom
and slavery, Louis Napoleon
was a warm sympathizer of the
pro. slavery party, and when
the crisis came he espoused
the. side of rthe disunionists,
giving them all the moral aid
the laws of neutrality would
permit. He even went so far
as to urge theiBritish] Govern
ment to join him in recogniz.
ing the independence of the
Gonfederat HIS, Intention
was to intervene in their be
half, and to employ the army
and navy OF France to break up
the, Union, and erect the slave
States into a separate govern
ment. But the British declined
the alliance, chiefly on account
of the danger Of a fire in the
Erear from Prussia and Russia,
as they, in all probability,
would have made common 9
cause with the North. Fail
ing to inveigle the British in
his scheme of Intervention, he
set ON foot a flank movement, we

ingloriously fetreated, leaving

Registration.

The number of voters registered up
to II o'clock yesterday, was 1861. The
Registrar says he is unable to give us
the number of each color, until the reg
istration Is complete. The books will
be closed on the 28th instant.
Democrats, procure your certificates.
You should vote for some of the pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution,
if for nothing else. You should be
qualified to vote, at any time during
the next two years; but you will not
be; if you do not register now. Fail
ing to register is practical disfranchise-
ment and deprivation of political man
hood. Don't hesitate; don't procras-
innate.
The registration in this parish is en-
tircly new; in many other parishes it
is only partial. This difference is
caused by the formation of new parishes
new parishes and those contiguous
having new registration, and all
others simply Il revision Of the old
registra ton.

of them, George Green, was on the
point of ending the harangue with q
bullet, for which rash attempt George
was unceremoniously kicked into the
street! But the seven and their friends
did nothing for the poor corpse, except
to agree that unless their treatment
should be preferred, its final interment
should take place on the 9TH of No
vember next. And so the Republican
party of Ouachita parish, instead of
being an animated organization, is II
putretying mass, ready to be borne to
the potter's field. Its hard death, its
sinful life, its pernicious teachings are
subjects of painful reflection. Friends
of the Democracy, bear the dead old
party to its November grave, and
place over it as Il monument little
cast-iron negro standing upon carpet
bag for his pedestal.

Radical Faith.

The fundamental difference dividing
the Republicans Of this parish seems
to be the filling Of the vacancy In
the U. S. Senate, to be made on the
4th Of March next, by the expiration of
Senator Harris's term. One wing,
headed by Capt. johnson, favors the
claims of Senator Harris. The other
opposes him, and is working in the in
the interest of Col. Jno. Ray, who APP
pears to have his hooks set both for
the Senatorship, as the first chance,
and for the Executive chair Of the State
as his second chance. In the parish
convention of last Saturday, Capt.
Johnson, against great opposition, Sc
cured his nomina ton for the legisla-
ture. It is now charged by the enc
mics OF johnson, we learn, that he
secured his point by buying up dele
gates and by Il liberal use of whisky;
and the Radical Parish Committee has,
by most miraculous stretch ofpowcr,
annullcd, by published order, the
action Of the peoples (RadicaD con-
vention, and has called a new conven-
ton! OF course, the TELEGRAPH zeal
ously opposes both of the local Radical
factions; but, at the same time, it is
an advocate of fair play, even between
enemies. The nomination of Capt.
Johnson appears to have been fairly
and legitimately made. No such charge
as that of buying up delegates can pos
sibly liberatc the Radicals from COM
ing to his support, or authorize a
committee of five or six men to declare
the action of Il regularly constituted
popular convention void and of no
force or effect. The Republicans are
compelled to support Capt. Johnson,
or own up that they never intended,
in certain events, to abide the action
of their own convention. This is the
law of political organizations the Unto n
over. If the delegates ought to have
nominated negro, and failed; or il
any of them stand charged with selling
out to one of the best men in the party
we do not see, as the Republican party
has hitherto been managed, that any
Republican has Il particle of cause to
complain. The enemies Of Johnson
appear to us as factious, and not dis
posed to be governed by any other
rule, in the game for office, except that

The Radical State Organ.

This is the New Orleans Republican
style of stating correctly a plain matter
of figures. Referring, in its usual
loose manner, to the election in this
congressional district in 1868, the Re-
publican says:
McCranic, whose last supporter was
permitted to vote for him was far. be-
hind Il majority of the voters of the
district, but the House declined to go
elected to Il seat. This rebuke will
not, probably, be forgotten soon by the
lawless men of the Fifth District.
This extract is Il pretty fair conun-
drum; but the writer meant to say,
probably, that Mr.. McCranie's vote was
far less than a majority of the votes OF
the district. Let us see: The total reg
istered vote of the district was %, 113
Mr.. McCranic received 1916
Showing an excess of 2, 100 votes over
one-half of the registered vote, which,
according to the Republican is ''far

,ay further that the people of the Fifth

House. 1t is treasured up in their
memory, and Will be answered in No

Democrats, Wake Up!

The Democracy of this and the ad-
joining parishes need stirring up. We
are all too careless and indolent, con-
sidering that there is State at stake.
Clubs and canvassers are badly needed;
there should be less lowering about in
dividuals, and more work to defeat the
Radicals. Our leaders are hanging
back, as if they were afraid to speak
out, or greatly unconcerned about the
peoples welfare. IF this apathy be
not speedily shaken off, we say to the
people, BE YOUR OWN LEADERS,, and
get this terrible load off your backs !.
reform and an honest legislature! is
the cry that should be heard from the
highways and by-ways in every parish,
from now until the election.
Krupp's cannon, of one thousand
pounds calibre, or any other piece OF
inspiring mechanism, might appropri-
ately be used to arouse this State to
a sense of its impending ruin. On the
one hand is a government. OF our own
on the other, a government OF thieves,
Thugs and bitter enemies. One is love
and protection the other, hate and
oppression. One appeals to us; the
other commands. One feels for the
people, and aids them the other fears
and despises them, and would rob them
by law. Can any man, with red blood
in his veins and nature movable by
MISREPRESENTATION, fail to see his duty,
or refuse to discharge it, in a crisis SO

Spiteful paragraphists are making
further attacks upon the chignon.
They say that coarse Russian wool is
worked up into that article by process
es, and the application of materials, not
at all agreeable to contemplate. The
wool is stepped in bath of sulphate
fifteen hours, and then boiled for two
or three hours more in solution of
catechu, an astringent and poisonous
vegetable substance. which by its tan
ming qualities pcrfects the dye. To
this is added ulphate of iron, logwood
and other deleterious substances.
