LOUISIANA REDIVIVUS.

Now that the State is again, after the
fall elections, fully and fairly in the hands
Of the Republicans, and the will of the
people has been so unanimously expressed
in favor Of the progressive policy of the
Republican party, We may safely take m
outlook on the present situation, and de-
wise and concoct ncw measures Of re-
generation and advancement<
We can safely and truly say, and prove
it by results and accomplished facts, that
the thoroughly Republican Legislature
elected under the constitution of 1868,
and just terminated, accomplished more
real and permanent good for Louisiana
than all the legislatures which preceded it
since the State was admitted first into the
Union.
Let us look back even to the Legisla-
ture Of 1867, elected under Democratic
auspices and with a thorough Demo-
cratic character. 1t will not be denied
that that body was as full Of personal
ability as any legislative assembly that
ever met in this State; yet what did they
do? Can single act of eminent import
ance be pointed out which they passed ?
They had not the courage to adopt the
great improvements which characterized
the acts of their successors.
Would they have dared to adopt law
which secured to lis the Chattanooga
Railroad?
With all their ability they would not,
with their hide-bound constituents be-
hind them, have daxed to advocate any
great measure of improvement which
imposed any additional tax. Their ancient,
old fogy constituents would have risen
en- n,asss and resolved them into obedi-
ence to old fogy ideas.
No man can be SO blind as not to see
the vast progress made by the Republican
party in this State!
If they have had in this progress to up
root old ideas and to dissolve old preiudi-
ces, still they may point with pride to
the results of their work.
The State credit, reduced to zero by the
war, has been constantly advanced under
Republican rule. Railroads have been
built, canals cut out, the liberty of all en-,
larged, and freedom at the ballot insured
even to the hunlblest.
These are positive, actual results, which
every one must feel and none can fail t.
acknowledge. They give promise that in
the future the Republican party will ACT
up fully to its Ideas Of progress and that a
new era has dawne0 on Louisiana, and
then redeemed, regenerated and olsen
thralled, she viii go forward in the work
of true progress and advancement:

LOUIS E. GRANGER.

The following news from home comes
to US by way Of New York
The Newayork Times Of to-day says Tues
day afternoon Superintendent kelso re-
ceiyed telegram from the Chief OF Police
of New Orleans, A. S. Badger, asking for
the arrest of Louis z. Granger, late adj
jutant general on the staff Of Governor
WarmOth, of Louisiana, or charge of
forgery. The telegram stated 10 details,
but it was surmised that Granger had been
concerned with Wicklitfe, the Auditor of
Louisiana, in questionable operations with
the State bonds.-Assoeiated Press dispatch.
Granger, Governor Warmoth's adjutant,
imprisoned here yesterday, threatens start
ling disclosures respecting the Louisiana
State government if not released-IImcs'
special dispatch.
In regard to the first dispatch We viii
merely remark that Louis E. Granger is
not Governor Warmoths Adjutant Gen
eral, and never has been. He was chief
clerk in the Office Of General Longstreet,
who is the Adjutant General Of the State
He was arrested on a charge Of forging
General Longstreets name to some
vouchers, and changing the amounts on
genuine vouchers from small sums to
larger.
As for the threat contained in the Tines
special dispatch, We can safely say that
the State government is ready for the
question. Let Granger and everybody
else, whether an accused forger, Chris
tan Republican or Baton Rouge rioter,
speak his mind freely. Startling dis
closures is phrase that sounds well to
the manufacturers Of sensations, but they
never amount to anything. No honest
man keeps back important information
until he is detected in some rascality, and
then offers to sell his silence. So let Mr..
Granger give us his startling disclosures
at once and put an end to his foolish
threats.

mentazy testimonial, thanking the auxil-
iary committee for the efficient assistance
they rendered to them in the campaign.
While all the members of the committee
performed their whole duty faithfully, and
are entitled to an equal share in the praise,
we may be permitted to say that DR..
Southworth, who, with Mr.. Isabelle was
appointed on the Executive Committee,
was signally useful to the party. He has
well earned the title recently bestowed
upon him by some of our party-the great
Republican wheel-horse. General West
disbursed the cash, which was not the
least delicate and responsible Of the duties
devolving upon the committee. All the
gentlemen have earned the lasting graft
tude Of the Republican party. Their
services are not likely to be soon forgotten.

A CARD.
New ORLEANS, !

NEv ORLEANS, November q, 1870. :.
Charles Cavaroc, ESQ.,, President Barbsrin Gas
Lighting Company:
SIR-As rumors detrimental to the Barbarin Gas
Lighting Company, Of which you are the President,
have been indugtriously circulated in connection
with the fire which occurred my premises to-
day, beg leave to state that the origin and true
cause of the fire was in manner attributable TO
the apparatus of the Barbarin Gas Lighting Com
pany introduced in my house.
TIE true cause of the FIRE earelessness on the
part OF some person, who. in lighting cigar over
several cans of coal oil which were in the same
room which contains the apparatus. threw the
lighted paper over one OF the cans which ignted.
While endeaSoring to throw the can out of the
room into the street, the contents OF the same
were overturned and communicated to the other
cans.
Although the apparatus of the Barbarin Gas
Lighting Company entirely surrounded and
covered with flames during al least ten minutes,
nevertheless no accident resulted theretrom.
deem it but just, therefore, to contradict in an
emphatic manner the injurious reports which have
been circulated concerning the of the fire,
and take pleasure in certifying that the apparatus
of the company, of which you are the President,
was il manner concerned with nor it the
cause Of the FIRE. Very respectfully,
F. DUMONTEIL.

The statement that train on the Jack
son railroad had been fired into, was re-
ceived with some degree Of ineredulity
but the fact that some dastardly towards
are working to injure the line, in every
conceivable way, seems now to be deter
mined. A gentleman informs us that a
day or two ago one Of the new locomotives
was experimentally examined, and all the
brasses and journals found to have been
filed. over night, with emery powder.
Had this accidental discovery not been
made, the engine would have been abso-
lutely ruined before it could have run ten
miles. 'Short shrift and rope" seems too
good for the perpetrators of such base
deeds,

ON CARONDELET STREET,


Notwithstanding the general calm which
was expected to prevail yesterday, very
observable ripple ruf1ied the surface OF
Carondelet street during the midday
hours. There had been sensible decline
in Barbarin stock during the early part Of.
the week, attributable, perhaps, to the
stringency Of the money market, and the
necessities of timorous holders, whose
hopes of rapid rise to 500 had been dis
appointed. On Tuesday night one share
had been sold as low as 5000, but on
Wednesday this falling off did not seem
to be maintained. Yesterday, however, a
chance conner On the street would have
been amazed by the appearance all around
him of small sized panic. Several bro
kers were Offering Barbarin stock at $3.50,
S16O, and finally as low as s155. although
in the morning eight shares, belonging to
the estate Of ST. Amand, had been sold at
S2O5.
What WIS the cause of it Simply
that there had been fire at Dumonteil's,
in full view Of the financial centre of the
city, and it was soon noised about that
the cause was an explosion Of some por
ton of the Barbarin works. Very few
stopped to inquire the nature Of the acct
dent, and many even seemed to take it for
granted that the fate Of the company de-
pended on Drmonteil's establishment.
1t seemed to be entirely overlooked that
this or some similar accident might just
as well have happened with any other
kind of gas. or. at least, that it might de-
pend Oh causes easy to guard against or
remove. However this may be. the stock
was very panicky yesterday, although
large holders did not seem to be terrified
by the fright which had seized on some
dealers. Last night there was slight
rally, and three shares were sold at the
board at 1855. The purchaser was one
of the largest owners Of the stock.
Slaughterhouse remained about the
same. One lot Of twenty shares changed
hands at SIT so.
Insurance scrip was said TO be high,
but we could not authenticate any sales.
There does not seem to be any truth in
the report of fusion of the Teutonia
and Lafayette banks, at least the persons
directly interested profess to know moth
ing about il.
The following were the offerings and
bids at the Board last NIGHT

From the latest advices received, Secre-
tary Fish stated, Monday, that the feeling
in Europe seemed to be more pacific, and
expressed the opinion that there would be
no general war. There is no truth in the
report that the United States has been in
vited to join the congress Of the great pow
ers to effect an amicable settlement of the
existing difficulties, and even if an invita-
ton should be extended, our government
would not accept it, as We have never in
terfered in European politics, and it is
against the policy of the administration now

CANCY

It has been reported that the State
Board of Education has appointed Rev.
L. G.. Matlack to fill the vacancy in the
City Board of School Directors occasioned
by the resignation of the Hon. c. c.
Packard We should regard the appoint
ment of Mr.. Matlack as eminently salts
sactory, but he should, like other officers,
be chosen Or appointed in the mode
pointed out by law. This rule has not
been observed in the present case. In the
first place. the State Board of Education
has not had the matter under considera-
ton at all. Again, when they meet, and
are officially informed of vacancy, they
viii probably take the view adopted by
the Common Council in similar case,
that under the law the Governor alone is
authorized to fill vacancies.

George Marshal, who, by a little sharp
practice, was sentenced, in the parish of
Caddo,. to thirty days imprisonment and
one hundred dollars fine, with the alterna-
i've Of seventy days. Imprisonment, in case
of non-payment, has been pafdoned by
Goyernor Warmoth. The following are the
circunsstances: Marshal. who is known as
. man Of God character and quiet habits,
had ! peaonal difficulty several months
AGO. with q man named Hamilton, in which
shots were fred on both sides. This passed
away, and seemed to be entirely forgotten.l
But at the late election, when it was ascer-
tanned that Marshal had been elected Con-
stable of the town Of Shreveport, his oppo-
nents revived the almost forgotten fray, IN
which Marshal was no more in fault than
his antagonist. 1t was made the basis OF 2
prosecution, and the sentence referred 20
was the result. On proper representation
OF the circumstances by respectable parties,
the ps-don was issued.

The great cry that now pervades the land
is the scarcity Of money, and the want Of
sufficient quantities to move the crops
that have been gathered in the West and
gre being gathered in the South is seriously
felt. Notwithstanding all this there seems
TO be no scarcity Of money in the Louisiana
State Lottery, where the same inducements
are offered all who would take the chance
of fortune by buying tickets. There seems to
be no need for scarcity Of money when
prizes are so plentifullY.
