THE PARTISAN ELECTIONS.

The last mail brings Paris papers of
the twenty-ninth and thirtieth of June,
containing the lists of rival candidates for
the election of members of the French
Assembly, with those who were elected
on the second instant Among those
chosen are Laboulaye, Laurent-Pichat
and Gambetta. 1t will be gratifying to
all true Americans to see their warm
friend and professor in the College of
France, Edouard Rene Lefebre Labou-
laye, member of the new republic. He
is well styled in Paris, of which city he is
a native, le plus American de tous les
Francois, and who has better knowledge
of America and her institutions than any
other man in Europe. He is the author
of wonderful book called paris in
America, and of several other works
legal, political and philosophical. He,
with Count De Gasparin, recently de-
ceased, were Americas most faithful and
intelligent friends in France during our
own civil war. Both of them, with zeal
and devotion, supported the right side.
Laboulaye should have all our sympathy
while endeavoring to found republic.
Laurent-Pichat, who is classed among
the revolutionists where Gambetta, Hugo,
Raspail and others figure, is more known
as writer of poetry and romances, and
as great friend of Victor Hugo's, than
as a politician. He edited the Revue
de Paris until its suppression by the
empire in 1853 He is a sufficiently good
republican. With Gambetta, all are
acquainted.
Among the prominent men of the
Partisan candidates who were defeated
are Count Jacksonville, Ulbach and
Victor Hugo. D'Haussonville has long
been a politician and writer in La Revue
des Deur Mondes has published the
History of the Exterior Policy of the
French Government from 1880 to 1S48,
as well as the History of the Reunion of
Lorraine to France, etc. He is classed
with the Partisan union conservative
press, but is republican.
Louis Ulbach, q defeated republican,
and classed with the revolutionists, was
publisher of the Revue de Paris to 1853.
He wrote for various papers as Jacques
Soufrant, Ouvrier." He will still have to
suffer as worker along with Hugo. But
they will suffer and labor as they always
have, solely for the good of their race,
prescribed though they may be by I'M
worthy constituencies.
The lists of those elected in other por-
tons of France are not yet received

STEPHEN s. FISH.

In another portion of this paper, under
its appropriate heading, will be found the
announcement of the death of Stephen S.
Fish, an event not the less sad because
fully expected. Mr. Fish was born on
the twelfth of July, 1897, in Williamson,
Wayne county, New York. A thoughtful,
studious boy, his attention was turned to-
ward public questions when mere youth,
and in 1856 he espoused the cause repre-
scented by Fremont, and remained true to
the principles of that party to the last.
At the breaking out of the war, he has
tened to offer his services to his country
enlisting for two years in the Seventeenth
Regiment New York Volunteers, in Nav,
1861. Being sick with the typhoid fever
Immediately afterward, he missed the
first important battle of the war, but,
with that exception, participated in every
battle in which his regiment was engaged,
including the severest of the Peninsular
campaign. He was present at the battles
of Fair Oaks and Gaines Mill, the seven
days fight, closing with Malvern Hill,
the second Bull Run, the battle of Freder-
icksburg, and the three days fighting at
Charlottesville
At the expiration of his term of service,
in 1868, he was honorably discharged,
and Immediately began the study of the
law, in the Office Of the Hon. Stephen R.
Williams, at Newark, New York He was
admitted to the bar in 1864, and in the
autumn of the same year, at the invitation
of his uncle, Mr.. w. r. Fish, removed to
New Orleans, which he thenceforth made
his home. On his arrival here he pre-
pared himself to practice his profession
in accordance with the jurisprudence of

this State, was admitted to the bar, and
readily obtained fair practice.

TINS state, was admitted to the bar, ana
readily obtained fair practice.
In the summer of the year 1866, with
good business prospects, good health and
warm personal friends, attracted toward
him by the virtues of his private charac-
ter, Stephen S. Fish seemed at the begin
ming of long and prosperous career;
but all these fair prospects were blighted
on the memorable thirtieth of July 1866
Although present in the hall of the Me
chanics' Institute on that day merely as a
spectator, he became involved in the fate
of the participants in the convention. He
was severely wounded in three places, and
the injuries received on that occasion were
indirectly the cause Of the disease of which
he died
He had always taken warm interest in
public matters, and Notwithstanding his
failing health, still continued to do so.
In 1867 he was elected City Attorney, and
for some months ably fulfilled the duties
of that arduous position. Finally, find
ing them beyond his strength (the city
now employs four men to perform the
same), he resigned In 1868 he received
the nomination of the Republican party
Of the city as candidate for one of the
district judgeships, and in the ensuing
election shared the defeat of his party
In November, 1870, he was elected a
member of the State Senate for term of
four years, and during the session of the
Legislature in which he participated he
took an active part, obtaining by his
talents and probity an influence greater
than was due to his age or experience.
He was in great degree instrumental in
securing the passage of the present city
charter and other salutary measures, and
his general course in that responsible posi-
ton was such as to merit and receive the
appreciation of all parties
Immediately before the election, being
temporarily better in health, and buoyed
up by the hopefulness Characteristic of
his temperament and his disease, he felt
such an assurance Of convalescence as en-
couraged him to enter into matrimonial
relations. The improvement, however,
was only apparent, and for some months
past he failed rapidly. A few weeks
since, finding his strength perceptibly
diminishing, he started for the home of
his youth, accompanied by his wife and
brother. There, in his fathers house,
surrounded by his family, on the eighth
of the present month, he breathed his
last, cut off in the very beginning of a
useful and exemplary life.
In early youth Mr.. Fish had united
with the Baptist denomination of Chris
tians, and always remained a member of
that church, although, by the iberality
of his religious sentiments, he may be
said to have belonged to that broader
church, which comprises all who love the
person and character of Christ

the presence of a respectable danger, so
the desperadoes in the South are the
veriest knaves that ever struck a weak
man when there was no prospect OF re-
sistance. The New York rioters thought
to muster twenty thousand men to muir
der five hundred citizens, and the Ku-
klux always make sure that they have a
score of followers when they go to attack
an obnoxious gentleman. This is the
vilest cowardice, and of itself stamps the
authors as without principle or manhood.
As the New York riots, if permitted,
would have reflected disgrace on the peo-
pie, SO the Ku-Klux outrages, wherever
they are tolerated, convict the community
in which they are permitted of cowardice
and stupidity; and as the decent people
of New York put down the attempt to dis
grace their city, so let our people rise and
suppoess the Ku-Klux riots, which only
serve to bring the South into contempt as
being too weak to protect the weak from
the oppression of the strong.

If the legislative wisdom of the State
had ever been exercised in the incorpor-
alton of an institution to teach political
economy, the chances are as nine to one
that an injunction restraining J. AID. Ro-
zier from propounding his astoundingly
erroneous suggestions on that speciality
would have been granted without the for
mality of bond or affidavit. If any reason
able man can prove that his son has been
indoctrinated by Mr.. Rozier, we have no
doubt he will succeed in an action for
damages. 1t is a fearful thing to think
how much injury a newspaper can attempt
to do with bottle of ink, sheet of
foolscap paper and big pen, with Rozier
at the end of it.

Augusta, Georgia, has shipped thou
sands of watermelons to the North this
season, making handsome profit on
her enterprise. All of this speculation
originated from the fact that an enter
prising carpet-bagger settled in Augusta,
and with Yankee shrewdness saw the
way to a business dodge that the
Georgians had never dreamed Of How
many melons have been shipped to the
West this season from Louisiana, as set
off to the pork, corn and potatoes which
we buy in that market yearly? Our first
crop ought to pay the West for all the
winter provisions which she furnishes to
u.s. This would leave both parties in
possession of their pocket money, and
besides, it would put them in such good
humor with each other that they would
soon forget the big divorce case which
was tried in the court of Mars a few
years since.

AN EXAMPLE FOR THE SOUTH.

New York set the South bully exam
pie last Wednesday. Her conservative
people, after long rest from exercising
their power for good, made themselves
felt IN indicating the right of the people
to hold meetings and to entertain opin-
ions without regard to the infamous band
OF rowdles who, in the name of Democ-
racy, have dominated the community for
years. Now let the conservative people
OF the South make themselves felt and
respected in dispensing the despicable
towards who, under the name of Ku-Klux
Democrats, terrorize over the country to
suppress political liberty, free speech and
honest differences of opinion. The inso-
lence of the rioters in New York
is only equaled by that of the
Southern Ku-Klux; and the parallel
goes still further, that as the rowdies
in New York were the merest towards in

easily be effected on Al securities at eight
per cent-the longer the time the greater
the rate. So mercurial is the market at
present so liable to be cast into f1utter,
that even a demand for two hundred
shares of any of the newly made stocks
will cast the street into futter, while IN
lively times the daily negotiations OF
thousands do not suffice to vary the
monotony. This is similar to the feelings
of a soldier who, in the height of cam
paign, will hear of great battles unmoved,
and eat his dinner under a bombardment
but who, during the inactivity of winter
quarters, is startled out of his boots by
the report of a skirmish.
A slight transaction in Louisiana Levee
stock recently produced considerable talk
on this subject and gave rise to much
discussion. Sales were made at nine and
half, it having fallen to this figure. The
stock is redeemable in bonds of the State
whenever a stipulated amount of work is
done under the auspices of the corpora
ton, and it is even reported that active
measures to secure capital and begin the
work have been undertaken, the loans to
be effected in New York. The stock had
been unheard of for some time, and it's
temperance was about the only topic on
the flags.
1t has gone through many fluctuations
in price, selling at one time as high as
fourteen dollars, and is once again the
object of speculation.
We hear also of thousand in Crescent
City Slaughterhourse first mortgage
bonds selling at gu, but of no movement
in these securities. City certificates are
merely nominal. The stock of the New
Orleans and Texas Canal Company, we
learn, will soon be on the market, and
the holders expect to realize from this
class of paper They point significantly
to Hardee's maps (where the route of the
projected canal is already laid OUT, and,
tracing its course with the thumb nail,
argue with force as to the value of the
stock whenever the capital can be secured
to set dredge boat going and begin the
excavations. But as there is no dredge
boat, no capital forthcoming, no COM
mencement of the enterprise, there is yet
nothing upon which to base the value of
the stock, unless it be the franchises of
the company, affirmed short time ago
by the Supreme Court.

THE CUsTOMHOUsE SCHEME.

The administration at Washington
ought to know that several federal
officeholders in New Orleans are using
the money and patronage of the govern
ment to disorganize and destroy the Re-
publican party of Louisiana. These men
are using their official power to seize
control of that party, in which they have
no standing but as disappointed poll
tlcians. Their scheme will fail, because
the Republicans of Louisiana understand
and will checkmate them; but their acts
and plans are not less reprehensible.
The Collector of Customs, the Marshal
and the Postmaster are the principal con-
spirators, the others amount to nothing.
These men have allied themselves with
few disafected politicians who are out
with the State administration. Together
they think that they can possess them
selves of the State government next year
They will be put to rout by the Republican
masses, with whom they have no standing
or influence.
But the object of this article is to call
attention to the dishonest means which
these plotters are using. They are filling
the Customhouse with all of the political
vagabonds in the State; they are giving
large salaries out of the public moneys to
men who are untitled for any public en-
ployment and who are only expected to
attend club meetings; they are adding
hundreds of men to rolls where none are
needed, paying them for work never done.
This is the middle of summer. Ordinarily
the expenses of the Customhouse ought
to be much less than during the winter
months. But as a matter of fact, easily
verified by Secretary Boutwell,, the collec-
tor is mourning expenses largely in excess
Of the amount spent in the winter.
We would like to know why these men
are permitted to spend the money of the
government in their efforts to divide the
Republican party of Louisiana
