4 LUCID INTERVAL.

It is a maxim among physicians and
others who have studied the'hunan mind
and its alterations, that the more hope
lessly demented have at times q lucid in
terval, when they can observe and reason
correctly. The truth Of this maxim was
never more clearly seen than in the case
of the Democrat. 1t recently had a very
severe paroxysm which lasted for weeks,
during which time the poor unfortunate
raved, roared and beloved necessarily,
continually uttering the most absurd and
ridiculous stuff, such as: ''gross fraud"
thousands of our best citizens refused
registration, Radical plumbers must be
cleaned out" Democrats have majority
of five thousand, at least, in the city,
"the colored men are tired Of the carpet
baggers, and large numbers Of them will
vote the Democratic ticket
..After a storm comes q calm, says the
old adage: and SO, after this severe fit
comes the lucid >interval. The Democrat
of Thursday last, in an article headed
''The Political Situation" says:
Now that the dust and smoke of the con
fiict have passed away, and the turmoil and
confusion incident to heated and excited
contest have subsidized, it is meet that we
should take Il calm and deliberate survey
of the field, and discover, ii We can, the
cause or causes of our defeat.
He then goes on to defend the Demo-
cratic State Committee against those Dem
ocrats who are disposed to blame them for
their defeat. He points out what Repub-
icans have continually insisted upon
that ''new issues are upon us; new and
powerful element has been thrust into the
political arena, which had to be concili-
ated and won. Or rejected and opposed"
How far the Democracy succeeded in con-
ciliating the new element, the annals of
1868 and 1870 will tell.
The fact is the attitude OF the Democra-
CIV of Louisiana is as absurd as that of
full grown man who should insist upon
getting into the clothes he wore when
boy. The people have outsrown the
Democratic ideas and principles, and
they are no more suited to society to-day
than are the clothes of the boy suited for
the man.
The Democrats pleads in behalf the
State Committee and State Convention,
that they did everything in their power to
secure success, and says that:
II those who are now disposed to find
fault, will take the trouble to make care
full and appropriated survey Of the situation

LAW AND TAXES,

Great complaint is made that the taxes
are too high, and that the government
costs too much. If this is admitted, let
it be considered that all these taxes and
al this expense have but one oIigin-the
necessity for a government of laws. II
We can consent TO live without laws or
officers, all this present expense will fall
to the ground. What would follow after
is another matter. But since We have tax
alton and law, why not enforce what We
pay so much for? There is now on trial
in this city case which involves breach
OF the law. Not only property, but life
was destroyed in Baton Rouge, and the
law, which we pay 50 much for, declares
that this deserves punishment as among
the ofenses against society. Somebody
must have broken the windows Of the
courthouse at Baton Rouge, fred the muir
derous shots, and killed the unarmed cit
zens. Is this violation OF lew to be pun
ished? Is this destruction Of property 10
be atoned for Is this death to be nc
counted for? Or do We pay taxes and
make laws for the Jun Of the thing. The
community can answer these questions
when the pending case is ended. And as
the people answer, SO lei them make their
decision, that they pay for government
without expecting it to do it8 duty.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The spirit which animates the Caronde-
let street exchange, wakes up at two
o'clock precisely. For two hours a per-
petual coming and going, as in an ant
hill or beehive, from two o'clock until
four, such is the aspect Of Carondelet,
particularly at what may be called thigh
change hour" or P NJ. New York ex-
change assemblies at quarter to three
o'clock. In Liverpool the hours are from
two to five. In the London exchange the
crowd begins to pour in at four. In
European cities al the principal houses
have regular places of resort on
change. Rothschild is always found
on the Italian Walk" Barring
Brothers & Co., OF the column they
have frequented for years; American mer-
chants frequent the american Walk the
Russian and Swedish the "Baltic Walk"
and the Germans the &c Hamburg Walk. -
High change il New Orleans, as before

new ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1870

they win be convinced that they have done
these two bodies injustice in attempting to
throw upon them the blame Of the defeat Of
the Democratic party.
Now this is all wrong. We also have
a kind word for the Democratic State
Convention and Committee They ought
not to be blamed for not accomplishing
impossibili6es. The most startling state
ment made by the Democrat IS that the
number Of colored voters exceeds that OF
me whites several thousand" Such be-
ing the condition Of thinss, what chance
had the Democracy of carrying this citys
This only one. Surprising all she white
men to be Democrats, it would require, in
addition, the vote OF large number OF
colored men to carry the Democratic
ticket. But we know there are several
thousand white Republicans in this city,
hence it would require corresponding
number Of colored men to join the Democ-
racy to insure its success.
Our friend of the Democrat, in his lucid
interval, knows this-hear him:
They the Democratic State Committee)
well knew that the success Of the Demo
upon a division of the cOlored vote. They
did all in their power to accomplish that OBJ
iect That the cOlOred vote was not divided
10 the extent anticipated, is not the fault OF
either the committee or the convention.
Good for you, old true-penny, they did
all in their power to divide the colored
vote, and failed; were outyoted by thou
sands. Right here, We would like to ask,
if the colored men outnumbered by the
thousands, and the Democrats failed to
divide their vote, wEERE DOES THE VOTE
COME? Not in the counting of the
votes as you say, when the fit was on you.
for there would be TO need for anything
of the sort, according to your own admis-
sion.
So much for the lucid interval Of our
neighbor, which intervals, like angels
visits, are few and far between. In the
next column he falls back into his former
forlorn condition. Could anything be
more truly pitiable than the following:
If future elections are to be conducted
as was the one on the seventh instant the
sooner the people make up their mind to
either give up their rights and privileges of
frecmen or maintain them at all hazards,
the better it will be.
Really we feel like sending Tor our
family doctor, and addressing him in the
words of Shakespeare;
"Can'st thou not administer TO a mind
diseased" etc.
