(COmmunicated.)

The tidal wave of progress, starting from
New England's rocky strand and sweeping
the prairies Of the West and the savannas
of the South in its onward course, has
reached our shores and overwhelmed the
hosts of sham Democracy. The merciless
waters have drowned their cries, and the
places that once knew them know them no
more-"how beautiful is death when earned
by virtue" go.
The Canutes.Of Conservatism thought to
stay the rising ocean with, 80 far aud no
farther:"-and no ripple marks the place Of
their sepulture! The youth and adolescence
of our subject was devoted to the advocacy
of those principles of liberty and iberality,
which established its Legitimacy as the child
of Jefferson, and gave promise to its friends;
but as it arrived at mans estate change
was noted, its bowels became compassion
less, its big heart became atrophied and it
failed to assimilate those principles upon
which it once thrived. While its day of use
fulness was past its demise was thought to
be remote. and which might have been, had
it not been for the intervention of disease
hitherto unknown among us, but
which was readily diagnosed Cesarism.
This rarely becomes chronic and never
epidemic on Columbia soil, and its panac ca
is faith IN the rirtue of man. Faith was
wanting, the victim died. Pause by its
shrine and profit by its end.
Learn wisdom, ye pcrverse. Accept the
logic Of that struggle which began at Sum.
ter and eliminated at Appomattox. Old
things have passed away. The whip and
horn no longer startle tire morning echo and
midday stiffness; the victims Of those Incl
dents are your peers, and while they have
nearly forgotten and quite forgiven their
wrongs, ask them not to forget their glories.
Springfield muskets in the hands Of black
men evoke strange echoes at Port
Hudson, Milliken's Bend and Wag-
nen This is their birthright and
their children's heritage, and no Ledhean
waters can eface them. Reflrnish your
political temple with all modern improve
ments if you would have disciples among
that people. De wise in your own day and
generation. DION.

A CHANCE TO RISE.

Since royal princess Of the reigning
family in Great Britain has contracted a
matrimonial engagement with subject
of the crown, the London papers are
lively engaged in demonstrating that the
Marquis of Lorne is descended from the
Campbells, of Scotland, who were at one
time regal in their principalities. This
is letting royalty down gracefully and
easily; and since the royal marriage act
can be broken through by the actions Of
the herald's Office, perhaps the holder of
that estate will be kept busy hunting up
the genealogical tree of half the squires
in England. Before Cesar visited the
fast anchored isle there must have been
quite number of independent princes
scattered about between the cliffs of Dover
and the banks of the Tweed. Perhaps if
Prince John, of the House of Van Buren,,
in York State, America, was now alive, his
suit might prosper in Europe. rt FL

Business is al length becoming quite
active on our greet commercial thorough

ing to it. Considerably over q million dol
lars worth of thesnowy staple has changed
hands within thu last three days, and the
waters of scor of mighty rivers mingle
with the waves hat dash the levee, and
float down treasures of produce and
wealth, increasing every day /; while the
brokers on CarNdelet are big with stocks
and exchanges, and continually "bull and
bear" the mar1t therein. Some of the
former were happy yesterday, as they had
reason to be, for in some instances of
speculation in socks for rise, their CAPT

they had to b.k imaginary, if not real

have gone on tn principle that "when

HOUSES TO RENT.

If the Bulletin and the Democrat had
been paid to defame Louisiana and the
city of New Orleans, they could not do
the work with more apparent qualification
than they at present display in the dis
arrangement of the city and State. 1t is
never a question of taxation whether
houses are rented or idle. Any CONNER
cial man will confirm US in this assertion.
1t is matter of business Trade never
stops at taxation. San Francisco and
New York, st. Louis and Chicago testify
to the demand for houses, in spite of
licenses, imposts, bad government and diff
cult locations If New Orleans had not lost
her trade by the supineness Of the people
in not cultivating means Of rapid and
comfortable transit to and from the city,
we should not now be able to furnish
house room for the people who would be
crowding upon us. Nothing could ex-
coed the annoyances Of trade in Matamo-
ros during the war, and yet the people
lived three deep in the cottages about the
town. But she had the trade to pay
people for submitting to both inconve-
nience and excessive taxation. We have
nothing of the kind House rent is
cheaper here than it Is in New York,
Chicago or st. Louis, and yet our houses
are vacant. Licenses are not SO high as
they are in other localities, and they are
untaken. Why? Not because the houses
are idle and the licenses moderate do
people use them; but because they are at
business centres, where men find profit in
their purchase or in their payment. Busi.
ness men do not stop to inquire, what
manner Of government the people have
established if they can make their profits
in legitimate trade according to the GUS
tom of the country. And population al
ways follows this kind of commercial
adventure It will come to New Orleans
and live off of the traffic in sugar and
cotton or it will 60 to the Cape Of Good
Hope and swell its wages by waiting on
the diamond hunters. Our conclusions
were correct, that Louisiana wants pro-
gressive party. an active people, superior
facilities for moving her people and
products, liberal ideas, human sympathy,
and an enlarged contact with the world,
and with these, which the Republican
party can give her, she will move in line
with the growing and prosperous commu-
mites of the West. -

1t is said that the president and directors
of the Boston and Albany Railroad have
decided to build two additional tracks at
the earliest moment, commencing the work,
which is one of great magnitude, probably
as soon as the coming spring. The demands
for tie transmission of freight are so imper-
alive at the present time, as to task to the
utmost the carrying capacity Of the road,
and to render necessary the construction of
these additional tracks.

M1sCHIEv0Us SUGGESTIONS.

It is matter of daily saying that the
people of the South can "clean out the
Radical plunderers. This is wrong for
two reasons. 1t is not true; and "clean-
ing out" is not an American way of
changing the government. In the first
place, to forcibly expel those who are
classified and meant as Radical plum
derers would be to depopulate the State
Of half her people. 1t would be to drive
out all the men who are not Democrats,
for it is well understood that this is what
is meant when the unreasoning refer to
the Radical plunderers." In the next
place it proposes a resort to violence,
which is to saddle the community with q
body Of rufians and gamblers The peo-
pie Of Louisiana ought to know what a
mob is by this time, for they saw some of
them during the war. And more than
that, they saw what military government
vas when irresponsible men held military
sway. In the third place, violence means
quick suspension of trade, shutting up
of schools, hiding Of valuables, an end
of confidepce. There are reasons why the
sober citizens Of the community should
shrink from all suggestion of tumult as
from an evil combining all Others in its
train. a., .. ,.- es, -.,,...-.
Then again, it should be remembered
that the United States government must
be consulted about the .scleaning out. :"

down the former CLEANING OUT process

willingness to arrest any effort at Kidding

ABUSE OF A FAITHFUL OFFICER.

The P'cayune, actuated probably by
feeling Of chagrin at the defeat Of the
Democratic party, vents its spite in a
gratuitous attack upon Mr.. B. P. Blanch-
ard, State Registrar of Voters. Its re-
marks are very unreasonable and unwar-
ranted. Mr.. Blanchard has devoted his
time, night and day, to the prompt and
efficient discharge Of his duties. The
registration and election laws imposed
upon him an intolerable burden of duties,
requiring energies, abilities, tact and ac-
tivity far beyond the capacity Of the
average of men. He had the registration
of the whole State to attend to: blanks,
books, instructions and information were
sent into every parish in the State. The
delicate and responsible duty of selecting
the supervisors was in itself work of no
ordinary magnitude. The law gave the
supervisors but short time in which to
classify and copy the names of voters into
the poll books, and this could not have
been accomplished except by the most de-
termined energy and activity.
The anxiety to hear the result Of the
election is, no doubt, great. We all wish
to know the exact result. But no one is
suffering from the delay. The official
count is never made known until ten days
after the election. The law does not per-
init an informal count. Hence, the ne
cessity of withholding the tally until the
votes can be carefully counted. Mr..
Blanchard is not responsible for the pro-
visions of the law. He is not to blame
because the Picdyune, in common with
the REPUBLICAN, is unable to lay before
its readers an informal report of the re-
suit of the election. He has furnished
the returns as fast as they could be
counted out by the supervisors, and we
have all enjoyed the advantages of being
correctly informed as the counting pro-
crossed. He has given his personal at
tention to every matter connected with his
official duties, and has in all things
proved a capable, diligent and afable
officer.

stood, that whena company has encounter
ed all the competition that it can encounter,
or that can be brought to bear againstit,
and prospers beyond or above the level OF
other companies, it may fairly be held
to ossess the advantages Of an established
concern, such as the Bank Of America, or
similar institutions, which, although it
has charter, has no monopoly, but in the
course Of years has by prudent manage
ment improved its capital to great de-
gree. Therefore, may the stock Of such
