DO YOUR DUTY.

The time within which our Republican
friends can yet avail themselves of the
right Of registration is drawing to a close.
They have generally performed their
duty in this respect with becoming
fidelity to themselves and to the State,
but many are yet laggard, and we feel
that they need a little urging to bring
them out to the work. Many people lose
the results of great victories by not fol-
lowing up their advantages after the first
success. 1t is just as necessary to pursue
the enemy and occupy his camp after
whipping him, as it is to whip him in the
first place. A defeated army must not
be allowed to ~reorganize in sight of the
battlefield, and with all its camp equip
age intact. 1t must be driven out of its
lines and expelled from its entrench-
ments, if the perils of war are to be made
hopeful for the future.
The Democracy has been beaten in
Louisiana, but it has not been d~emoralized
to such an extent that it can be considered
as weak or powerless. 1t is ever yet
armed with its old battery of prejudice
and hate; and it is still impelled by the
hope of regaining position. With its
artillery of hate, and with its hope of re-
ward, it is still dangerous to the State;
and although its movements just now are
not very threatening in the open field, it
is none the less the duty of every
Republican to be IN his guard against a
sortie under the mists and fogs that some
times settle down in unexpected quarters.
We have seen one of the Democratic
lodges in the diversion attempted by the
Christian Association; and we may not
say that the men who organized that
movement are powerless to effect some
other scheme to delude the people into
opposing the party of liberal ideas and
progressive men.
There is only one sure and eficacious
way to insure success. That is to regis
ter properly and vote honestly and GER
tainly on the day of election. We know
Of no other sign by which to conquer
than by polling a majority at the ballot
DOB. As we have the strength, and as we
nav all the inducement, these ought cor
family 70 satisfy us about the result ; but
the misfortune is that . great many Re-
pubicans feel 20 confident that they are

IN MEMORIAM.

New Orleans, October II, 1870.
At a special meeting, held on Sunday, the six
teenth instant, the following preamble and resOlu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The members of the Orleans Dramatic
Relief Association, in common with all other bodies
Of men, have been stricken down, paralyzed for
the moment, by the sad event which has taken
from the earth the worlds patriot and soldier,
ROBERT EDMUND LEE, yet they feel that it is
their duty to strive to recover from the blow, in
order to be equal to the requirements of the hour;
therefore, be it
Resolved. That, as it has always been our aim to
carry out promptly the objects of our Association,
to move forward at duty's call. to use our humble
efforts where a good deed is to be done, we do now
place our Association before the public as the
means of aiding in the formation of o monumental
fund, and that in order to effect most readily this
object, we do give a dramatic entertainment at as
early a time as possible, the proceeds Of which to
be turned over to the General Committee, which
will be constituted by the concerted &C ton of the
people of Louisiana.
Resolved, That when the press of the land, the
ablest writer's of the civilized world, the leaders Of
all professions, all classes, and all nations are join.
ing in one grand eulogy upon the death of so illus
trious IA man, it would be vain indeed to attempt
to add anything to that strain which has burst
forth spontaneously as the voice of the world but
we ask the privilege to offer to his family that deep
and honest sympathy which comes from the hearts
of unpretending men, and therefore, in all sin
cerity, respectfully transmit to them copies of these
resolutions.
Resolved, That the members of this Association
do wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty
days, and that during the same time the hall be ap-
propriately draped and decorated, in respect to his
memory.
Resolved, That these resolutions be published in

THE CITY COUNCIL.

Their Q was a special meeting of the
Council last evening, Mayor Flanders
presidin g; all the members Of the Council
present, except Mr.. Emley, who has not
yet e tlrned.
Colonel w. NJ. Burwell, Marion Baker,
Edward C. Hancock, David C. Labatt,
and others of the delegation, appointed
by the Mayor to attend the National Com
mercial Convention at Cincinnati, were
present and made their report.
The report was read by Colonel Bur-
well, the chairman of the delegation. It
was full Of practical and business ideas,
important to the commercial interests of
this city.
As it will appear in our columns in full
tomorrow in the official proceedings Of
the Col ncil, our readers can do it justice
by it's perusal then, better than a mere
synopsis can afford.
The thanks of the Council were voted
for the satisfactory manner in which the
delegation had performed its duty.
Genera West offered the following pre-
amble and resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted, after which the Council
adjourned:
WHER EAs, Since the last session Of this
Council the death Of General Robert E. Lee
has been announced; and
Whet eas, The people of New Orleans,
almost without distinction, propose, by pub
lie meeting. tomorrow evening, to pay a
tribute of respect to his memory; be it
Reso1ued, That the City Council testify its
respect to this general public sentiment, and
its appreciation Of the eminence of Robert
E. Lee Jas a soldier, and Of his virtues as a
man, BY p%ostponing its regular meeting of
tomorrow evening.

dealt in "Actions de Paris,". as de-
scribed in an Amsterdam volume of 1743:

Mardi, Javois DIES Millions, ta
Mercredi, jetablis mon menage,
yeudi, je his mon ~equipage,

Et Samedi, a PHopital.
Or, as initiated in a later English jour
nal, for those who do not read French, as
follows, Oh the result of what is called
"stock jobbing":
On Monday, as Jobber, time bargains began;
On Tuesday, scor'd thousands by this easy plan.
On Wednesday, established my household quite
grand;
On Thursday, my chariot I drove through the
On Friday, superb, / danced at a ball,
Was gay in quadrilles, and envied by all
On Saturday noon, came ruin complete,
l was tapp'd on the shoulder, and lodged in the
Fleet.
But no bargains began On this weeks
Monday, for the simple reason that times
are too hard to buy or sell. Many a good
tall fellow on Carondelet as upon other
business streets is always ''short" these
days. Even real estate is selling 'as
cheap as dirt" and Aston, at 80 Caron-
delet, is giving houses and lots to those
who wish to become f~reeholders, on the
cdoIcSt CcIAA AAldSlldDic.
II may not be too late to mention here
that the officers elected by the Brokers
Board, Saturday evening, were the pre-
vious officers of that institution, viz:
George c. Lawrason, president; F. Rawle,
vice president, and E. Bouny, secretary
and treasurer. There were no sales made
at the board last evening, though numer-
Gus offers and bids were made, but at fig
ures which were acceptable to neither
side. Nor were there many transactions
o. the street yesterday; such as were re-
ported are as follows: $4,000 of city seven
per cent new bonds at 72a; $1,000 do at
72s; $4,000, $4,000 and $500 at IS; $1,000
small ones do at 73I; a small amount Of
old do at ", and $4,000 Endorsed railroad
city March and September) at 67.
In Metropolitan warrants but a single
sale was noted-S5OO at 98-showing no
change in the rate from last weeks sales.
In Louisiana Levee, $50 shares were
sold at S3-much lower than the last re-
ported sales, but which probably is the
real value.
One hundred shares Navigation sold
for 50 SO, which is about the current rate,
though 100 shares were reported at 50 so.
No State warrants sales were reported,
1880 being the lowest rate at which they
were offered at the Board. $1,000 State
certificates sold at Sale.
In Slaughterhouse, Ship Island, or
other fancy stock, no sign was made, ex-
cept that SIS so was bid and $50 asked
for the former.
The offerings and bids at the Board Of
Brokers last evening were as follows:

1t has beer said, by no less a parsonage,
we believe, than Franklin, the sage and
philosopher, that
Early to bed, and early to rise.
Will make . man healthy, wealthy and wise.
But for the soul of us we are unable to
see how q person is to become wealthy and
wise by simply. going to bed early at night,
and rising early in the morning. Something
else has evidently got to be done. Your
time has got to employed proftably. Some
persons have wisely employed . little time
in the purchase of tickets in the Louisiana
State Lottery and become suddenly
wealthy. 1t might be well for othsns to do
so, and by sensible action realize the :
meaning Of Frankliu's advice.

THE RESULT OF A

A body of United States marines kept
guard in Philadelphia during the election,
and the city was as quiet as the best citi-
zen could wish. The New York World
says this was an outrage, and only
offered another evidence of Repub-
ican lust to brandish the sword.
What do we keep soldiers for, if it is not
to preserve the peace? And what good
citizen can complain if they keep the
pssce, and thus earn their wages?s The
World would have preferred the usual

SOM THING THAT DOES NOT PAY.

Ii the New Orleans lines had pup
lished all that the REPUBLICAN said about
the carp et-baggers, it might have added
somewhA ut to its claim Of political indie
pendenc e. If it had even declared its
own sen timents in opposition to what it
attempted to palm off upon the commu-
nifty as bur opinion, the question Of hon.
esty might not have originated in this
connection. But as the Times neither
quoted tbs fairly, nor uttered its own i'm
partial mind, we must condemn it as
doubly dishonest for its attempt to put the
REPUBLICAN in o false position, and its
still furt her attempt to put the Times in a
false pc sition. We admire and uphold
the class of people denominated carpet
baggers by the prejudices of a portion Of
the pee pie Of Louisiana. 1t is a well
known fact that this term is applied in
Discriminatory to every man who avows
himself to be a Republican, no mat
ter what his integrity or his intelligence
may be. It is not confined to that class
of individuals who simply seek for office
at one point to-day and at another to-
morrow; but it is stupidity deprived of its
power b injure by being cast at every
mar WI o sets himself in opposition to the
Democr acy. And it applies as much to
the edi tor of the Times, and has been
used ag ainst him quite as often and quite
as bitterly, too, as it has been used by the
Times against others. We are a people of
carpet-bags. It is u boast that we have
no traditions nor narrow prejudices that
bind us to one locality over another.
We plbd around as freely in Mexico
as we do in the United States; and failing
in our projects in California or Georgia,
an Anne rican contracts to build a railroad
in Chill or takes the leadin supporting an
empire in China. Our people are wide
awake 10 business opportunities, and this
energy and intelligence induces them to
mix politics with their other professions
whereve r they go. Men come here from
the No nth, see an opening to improve
the s. late, plunge into politics and
win the day. Our people go North.
travel invigorates and enlightens
them they go into politics and are sue
cessful. AS members Of different COM
munities they feel an interest in whatever
affects society. How can this class of
people be kept down? They are the life
of the nineteenth century. In their hands
the world is being revolutionized. The
carpet Dagger in Louisiana has placed
this State on the broad platform of pro-
gress, with a level road-bed under the
car, al i a broad gauge track to advance
upon. To drive them out now would be
like tea ring up the rails and burning the
engines of a frst-class railroad because it
interfered with an old wagon track. This
is our %opinion-it is the opinion of the
Times lit is what we said and what the
Times secretly approved-and yet, in order
to pander to a class of men who stand
lamenttng over a pair of oxen and a two
wheeled cart, the Times is willing to dis
own its own race and to defame the
REPUBLICAN,. 1t don't pay, neighbor. As
VI said in another connection, be hon
ester, and you will be happier.
