ANOTHER BREAK DOWN,

It seems that the constitutional lights
in New Orleans have been snufed out by
the legal lights in New York. The Times
of this city, joining with the World OF
New York, took the job of proving that
the law OF Congress which authorized the
Federal authorities to interfere in behalf
of an honest election in any and all Of the
States, was null and void for want Of con-
stitutionality, and in one instance the
army officers We're violently abused for
Welding obedience to the President in
carrying out these orders. Partisan news
papers are not generally very reliable ex-
ponents Of constitutional law, and the
present instance has not added to their
credibility il that department O l!spUta-
ton.
The law has been tested, ana the court
before which it was tried in New York has
not only affirmed its validity. but has
supported it with q positive quotation
from the constitution, which declares that
while the States shall control all elections.
Congress shall supervise the same. The
unfortunate repeater who had been mlsled
into registering twice under the impress
sion that he could escape by breaking
down the law, is now on his way to the
| penitertiarr. SO much for the idea that
the constitution was made to shield ras-
cality at the expense Of good government,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-11-08
RRTDGING THE OHIO.

Louisville, having built bridge across
the Ohio, is now protesting that Cincln-
matt shall not do the same thing, as 1t Will
interfere with the coal trade. And the
Board of Trade in Cincinnati is discussing
whether or no it shall indorse the protest,
and sue out q writ Of restraint against the
bridge company. Even Memphis takes
stock in the opposition, and appeals to
the civilized world against this obstruc-
ton to the Ohio river. The opposition
seems to spring from one class alone,
which is the river men and as II is evl-
dent that they have an interest IN OPP
posing extended railroad facilities, on the
same principle that Charles Morgan has,
their ennlity must be accepted with proper
allowances.
New Orleans is fully alive to the ne
cessity of having a free river to Plttsburg,
but she is also sensitive about direct and
unbroken railway communication between
her own depots and those of New York
and Boston. And it is no sufficient reason
why ill the continent should be put to
the expense and trouble of reshipping
freight, and transferring passengers in an
omnibus, from Covington to Cincinnati,
that if bridge is built it will put few
coal boats to some additional expense or
trouble. It is well enough to say that
Pittsburg shall have transit for her coal
| to the Western markets, but then she
must submit to such navigation as can be
granted with due regard to the con-
venience of the balance Of mankind.
Probably little annoyance at Cincinnati
will induce the river men to invent a
more convenient process Of shipment

BUILDING MONUMENTS,

This is eminently country Of monu-
ments. Never a man of moment dies but
the first motion of the afflicted community
in.which he left his reputation and his
friends is to build him costly testimonial.
Committees are raised and proclamations
made. Enthusiastic individuals advance
to the front, and inquire the terms. They
are limited in their gushing hberality by
some respectable bylaw which enacts that
in order to give the whole world and the
balance of mankind an opportunity no
single contribution Of more than ten
cents or one dollar will be received.
Handsome lists are framed, and ad'
miring friends rush to the front to put
their, names first on the roll OF honor.
That is the end Of it. The affair dies

THE EMPIRE OR THE REPUBLIC.

What power IN France represents the
State? There is no evidence that Napo-
leon is not the first love OF the people.
Paris, it is true, established republic
and set up the Dictatorship of Trochu to
represent it. The same crowd which pro-
claimed the revolution, now assails Roche
fort, Favre and Theirs. 1t arrests Trochu
and imprisons. him until the National
Guard can come to his rescue. It is the
terror Of the new order as it was OF the
old. It has no sympathies with Trochu,
but looks to Cluseret. It would fight for
ascendency in Paris tomorrow while the
city was undergoing bombardment. In
fact, the same power which threatened
Napoleon. which declared the Republic,
which now seeks to overthrow Trochu,
and which has always been kept in sub
lection by bayonets, is the only authentic
power which presents itself at Paris. 1t
has subjugated the Empire, and in turn is
now held in temporary check by the force
at the command of Trochu.
The republic, therefore, represents
nothing. The power which called it into
existence is in revolution against it. 1t is
only tolerated by the community for want
of better government. It is usuipa-
ton as fragrant as any that ever pparked
the changes of government. It was pro-
| claimed in a moment of excitement, with
out consultation with the people. 1t Is
the e1nanation of that revolutionary sentl'
ment which Bonaparte says forced hin
! into the war. It has at all times sought
to perpetuate its own power. No attempt
has been made to obtain from the people
| of France a ratification of its appoint
ment. The republic has been most dis
trustful of the people. And as it came
into power without the continuance Of thu
country, and continues to hold possession
of the government without asking thu
consent Of the people, it is not imperti
nent to inquire if it is the proper fountain
Of sovereign authority.
| In the elections it is known that thu
cities Of France voted against Bonaparte
but the country sustained him by ma
iority of seven to one. While the cite
have deposed Napoleon, the country ma
made no sign. Six millions Of a1najorit.

THE ELECTION.

The election in this city yesterday
passed off quietly throughout the day.
A heavy vote was polled, without the
usual amount of noise and excitement.
The people generally adopted the sugges-
ton that the real strength Of party con-
sisted in the number of votes cast, rather
than in fussy demonstrations. Up to a
late hour, few or none of the returns from
the polls had been counted, but the pre-
vailing opinion among all parties was that
the Republicans have carried the city and
parish by handsome majority. Some
claim that we have carried every ward,
but it will require count to establish
anything on the subject with any degree
of accuracy. The Democrats, however,
concede the victory to the Republicans.
We have never seen a more orderly cleo
ton in this city. Not a single voter can
say that he was molested or intimldated
by the opposite party, and the personal
disputes were exceedingly rare. The
Germans went to the polls, and in almost
every instance voted the straight Repu-
blican ticket. AS their brave countrymen
in Europe fought at Sedan and Hag1enau,
so did they meet the Democratic hosts in
this city with silent, but effective force.
The two parties generally voted straight
tickets.
We have probably carried the Eleventh
Ward by 200, and the Tenth by greater
majority, thus securing the election OF
Mr.. Pierce to the Senate and Messrs.
Bowen, Otto and Williams to the House.
The Fourteenth Ward gives about lOC
majority.
Returns from Algiers indicate the election
of Messrs Camp for Senator, Buchanan
for the House, and Sweet for Justice OF
the Peace. All these are independent
Republicans. The proposed amendments
to the Constitution are probably all
| carried. The vote for three Of them APP
pears to have been unanimous.
The Republican majority is estimated
at 5000, which is a glorious though not
unexpected result.
But little came to hand from other
| parts of the State. News from the sena-
torial district composed of Carroll, Madi.
son, Richmond and Morehouse, indicate
| the election of General McAlillen.
Such appears, from the few returns re-
ceived up to midnight last night, to have
been the result of yesterdays contest
We have every reason to be jubilant, fol
the efforts of our party have been agair
crowned with most gratifying success.
