ADEMOCRATIC VIEW.


The Times says 'the last creole
Governor of the State was with diff
ficulty restrained from resigning his
Office in order to avail himself of the
customary appeal to the code" but
seems to think that Governor War
moth should not have been Gre
strained This is a good sound
Democratic view of the case. With
Mr.. Dunn in the Executive chair,
Strengthening the Governors friends
right and left, the Iinaes can imagine
a condition of affairs that would
give Louisiana to the Democracy
with scarce a struggle. But Gov
ernor Warmoth remaining true to
his friends, his oath of Office, and
the moral sentiment of the age, cuts
off all hopes of future loaves and
fishes. Hence the disgust of the
Times because "Warmoth won't
fight"

BEAUREGARD AND DUNN

The defence of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dunn by General Beauregard
is having its proper effect at the
North. When Republican begins
to win sympathy and encomiums
from rebels and Democrats, it is
time for the party to feel little
suspicious of his fealty. Downright
abuse of a Radical leader, such
rs Beauregard attempts to defile
Governor WarmOth with-is first
class proof from a Democrat that
he secretly respects and fears the
man he attacks. The New York
Commercial. has this to say about it:
Gen. Beauregard has emerged from his
obscurity for the sake Of warning the Pres
ident that Louisiana will be lost 10 the Re
publican party Unless Governor Warmoth
is disposed Of" The interest which Gen
eral Beauregard feels in the success of the
Republican party is SO refreshing, beauti-
full and sincere, that the Republican Pres
ident who could be Indifferent to il is un-
worthy the confidence of his party. There
ought to be no delay in signing Warmoths
death warrant, for he Is q nuisance that
must be abated.

LETS IAIBECILITY.

The unfortunate Blonde of
The AbLcciUe Flag, whose antics
i'll mimicry Of editorialisms, excite
the visibility of his laughter-lOviiiS
readers, and whose follies disgust
the more serious supporters of that
delectable half-sheet, has Just been
cutting some more of his capers.
In the issue of September 9th, he
comes out with the silly assurance
that II like Pinchback." And in
the same article he tries to the ex-
tent of his ability, to SANDER the
reputation of Mr.. Pinchback. We
would like to know wherein lies the
utility, the efficacy in such men as
Mr.. Leet striving to insinuate that
this OF that Republican is white or
black. Will the color of man S
skin either one way or the other
impair his usefulness, or will it dig
Nifty or disgrace Republicanism !:
In this case, it may be that the
writer in the Flag, Judging the
balance of his race, as of his own
standard of ability, and still possess
ing in his premature senility a lin
gering pride of race, he is DESTROYS
of elevating them, even at the ex-
pense of importing so pronounced
cOlored man as Senator Pinch
back, or the "semi-half-breed" as
his redundancy prompts him to call
j. Sella Martin. We can tell Mr..
Leet that no mischievous efforts of
his to divide colored men, by ar
raging darker against lighter ard
lighter against darker will succeed.
The time is fastening when the
eyes of our people will be open to
the mischievous Vaccinations and
plots of demagogues, and secret
negro-haters will be exposed to the
people of Louisiana, and when the
damnable doctrine sought to be in
stilled into their minds by such
simpletons as MIR. Leet will be ex-
ploded, and the incnlcators of them
RENTED to the limbo they merit.

PROOFS, MR.. WALSH, PROOFS!

Where the interest of the people
lies in the controversy which has
arisen between Gov. Warmoth and
Mr.. Walsh, is in the question: Did
the Governor offer to take a bride?
We publish the correspondence
elsewhere in full. In it there is a
manifest anxiety on the part of His
Excellency to obtain a thorough
investigation of the charge against
him, and an equally evident desire
on the part of Mr.. Walsh to avoid
the proposed arbitration, and get
up fight. What boots it to the
people of Louisiana whether Walsh
or Warmoth can gaze unhinchingly
down a pistols muzzle, or calmly re-
ceive the thrust of sword or rapier?
None, whatever. But it is OF vital
importance to know if the Chief
Magistrate has prostituted the func-
tons of his high Office to the base
purposes of which Mr.. Walsh ac-
cuses him.
If Mr.. Walsh can substantiate
his accusations, Governor H. c.
Warnoth is unfit for place, and
should be deprived of the exercise
of power. If he has proofs in his
possession, let him Immediately
produce them. If he would justify
his honor and integrity of purpose,
of which he seems so sensitive, let
him not hesitate to do his whole
duty to the State, and place beyond
doubt OF c;avil, the truth which he
appears willing to risk his life to
vindicate. Silence will not answer
in this emergency. The public will
do justice in the premises. The
Governor demands an investiga-
ton, and gives his accuser power
of selecting one-half his judges, and
if SO fair challenge is not accepted,
nor the courts of the State resorted
to, the conclusion must inevitably
be reached, that the charges are the
offspring of malice and mendacity.
We hope Mr.. Walsh will not de-
lay. The Governor cannot, if he
would, avoid the ordeal. Let the
question of his official integrity be
decided. The people, and more
especially the Republican party, are
sick of charge upon charge against
the chief leader of their party with
out a scintilla of proof. Give us
facts, Mr.. Walsh, facts!

THE DIFFERENCE.


Gov. Warmoth declares II re-
affirm my Willingness to submit the
question between us to impartial
persons, or to the courts of the
State" Mr.. Walsh can go before
Judge Cooley or any other pro-
nounced democratic opponent of
His Excellency, and the latter will
cheerfully bide by the decision !;
but what does Mr.. Walsh say !:
Il cannot permit my veracity to be
made the subject Of arbitration"
Let the people judge this, and de-
termine which of the two is more
trustworthy.

4 JOURNALISTIC ASSASSIN.


The Citizens Guard, the official
journal of the Customhouse faction,
is zealously engaged in the per
Torrance of an act, which no res
pectable or responsible organ, in
deed none that aspires, or deserves,
to be regarded above the character
of an assassin, is guilty Of in our
times. 1t is filing it's columns
twice a wdek with editorial and
other matter, replete with the most
serious and blackguard charges
against prominent men of the Re
publican party in this State it is
habitually, basely slandering and
undermining as far as it can, the
characters and well earned reputa
tons of tried friends of our party
and it is striving with malicious pun
pose to fitch away these good names
in a dastardlymanner. tits studious-
ly Withholding from the public, and
the parties assailed and outraged
the name of the Editor of that
sheet, and concealing him (ol
them) under the mysterious and
impenetrable domino of q print
ing Company" who are paraded
as publishers And this crowd is
wholly irresponsible, inasmuch as
they are shrouded in the same
darkness as the Editor. -
And yet this highwayman aaone
the journals challenges us to meet
him! Preposterous folly! just as
soon would we think of exposing
our unarmed person, at midnight,
in a secluded spot, to the villainous
attacks of an armed antagonist,
who could safely emerge from his
hiding place, stab in the darkness
and retire to his fastness at leasure
Journalistic propriety, and self-re-
spect alike inhibit us from engaging
in a contest in which the code OF
the highwayman prevails.
We are prepared to sustain oul
position, and to allay the pretended
anxiety of this fraud for the equal
airing of the popularity of the pro
prietOrs of the LOUIsIANIAN, but as
the staff of our paper is so well
known and has been so brazenly
alluded to by the Guard, we want
to know who you are. In the name
of everything just and holy WHO Arr
YOU? Andwhat are you? "Assume q
virtue if you have it not" and fol
once lift your visor, and we vii

HONESTY VS.. COURAGE

There is one fact clearly demon
strated by the Walsh-Warmoth
correspondence, to-wit: The Gov
ernor displays infinitely more
solicitude to prove that he is an
honest and truthful public servant,
than that he is fighting man"
The State is greatly more con-
cerned in knowing Of his executive
integrity than of his physical
powers but the chance of showing
this Mr.. Walsh does not appear
willing 10 give him.

THE DUELLO.

The New Orleans Times has treat
ed its readers to a disquisition on
the philosophy of drelling, argued
on the ";two civilizations : of the
United States, and labofed through
column Of "precedents" to estab-
ish the propriety of INDUCING in
the remnant Of barbarism." We
have admired the chivalric industry
Of the writer, We have seen his in
fellectual eye brighten up at the
appeal to the "code of honor" and
we have seen the scowl come. over
his face at the refusal to wipe out
the alleged stain with blood; and
we have been sorry to observe in
the columns of leading paper Of
the young Democracy, even SO quasi
a vindication of a practice that
has been condemned and execrated
by every government on earth that
enjoys the benefits of modern civil
zation. There are individuals Ger
tainly everywhere who refuse to be
civilized to this extent, but they
are compelled to take their places
with the men whose deeds are evil,
they must indulge in the darkness"
in the shedding of blood. The sa-
credness of human life is the over
mastering consideration; the SUI
bordination of every. or any pretext,
either on the part of ones self, or
an antagonist, for deliberately en-
dangering its prolongation is there
fore the subject of stringent penal
regulations, and in proportion as
the tone of communities has been
elevated to this high standard, those
who have evaded the law, but were
known to have "shed blood" in the
manner indicated, have suffered the
ostracism demanded by the inexor-
able civilization of the period and
place. The concluding paragraph
of the article however gives us hope,
and we therefore take the liberty OF
transcribing it:
We are far, however, from recogniz-
ing them as embodying or illustrating
sound sentiment or logic, or as sug-
costing justification of the duello, OF
as of any binding force or obligation
upon the consciences of those who re-
pudiate the practice upon the grounds
assumed by Governor Warmoth. On
the contrary, there have always been
i'll this community large number OF
our best citizens who denounce the in
stitutiOn as barbarous, absurd, inhum
an and illogical. This sentiment has
gained steadily, until of late years, and
since the great duel of the so-called
code of honor has grown nearly Obso
lete, and the sentiment which one,
palliated or justified frequent resort
to it has become mere tradition
"reminiscences of the past era aud OK.
tinct civilization. Especially is this SC
since the great triumphs of the North
and their steady inroads upon South
ern ideas, customs and institutions.
The position of Governor WarmOth IS
unquestionably in accordance with the
now prevalent sentiment, rs well as
with sound logic and ethics. There
can he no question of the duty of a
public official to set the example OF
observing and maintaining the law, and
of snborbinating all personal consider
alton and sentiments thereto. This
must be done even at the expense OF
resisting an unsound and unlawful,
and therefore perverted, popular sen
timent and prejudice.

TIE CONCERT Of the Beethoven Octette
Wednesday evening wss a great success. The
memberswere in excellent voice, and the selec-
tons given showed careful study. The pro
gramme was well selected; Mrs. Droop and Mrs
Fairlamb scquitting themselves as usual, In a
most admirable manner. The song "Mein
Gedepkin," by Mrs. Droop, suits her clear ana
pure voice exactly, and storm OF applause
greeted It.. Mrs. Fairlamb sang the scena and
aria from the third act OF Faust, in a most cred
table manner. Few vocalists attempt selec-
ions Of this character; but Mrs. Fairlamb
proved By her Interpretation that she folly
understands Gounoud. Dir. IL. @. Sherman
played with that style and clearness of touch
for which he Is noted. Mr.. W. A. widney has
seldom appeared before the public In concert.
but we predict that his success on Wednesday
evening will secure for him q cordial welcome
IN the future. The Beethoven Octette have
ially established their reputation, and Wash
'ngton should be proud in possessing them.
