TAKING SHAPE,

1t has been known for some weeks past
that serious split existed in the ranks Of
those so-called Republicans who follow
the fortunes of the knot of federal Office
holders which tried to sell out our party
to the Democratic State Committee. This
division has arisen from the inordinate de-
sire for Office which -characterizes all the
prominent members of this faction, and
the inevitable jealousies resulting from
their clashing interests. It is expected
that this feud will assume an open and de-
cisive character in their convention, which
meets at the National Theatre, in this city,
to-day.
The sudden and unexpected develop
ment of 2. G. Billings, ESQ.,, into a prom
inent candidate for nomination as Gov
ernor, with determined backing in quar-
tiers where the old ring managers consid-
cred they only had influence, alarmed
Messrs Packard, Ray and the other regu-
Lar aspirants for gubernatorial honors into

The Bee declares that Governor War
moth is no "such a ruler, for example, as
was Washington, who secured for his name
immortal glory" The father of his coun-
try never accepted gifts nor made money
through information coming to him Off
cially. For this latter offense it condemns
Governor Warmoth to political coventry,
but it has not word of blame for Gen
eral Grant, who has won the title of ma
tional gift-taker and Presidential specula-
tor. The Bees principles are made to
bear against obnoxious individuals only,
not for general application.

FIXING THE BLAME.

| The New York Times maliciously insists
that Senator Schurz should be held re-
sponsible for the election of Frank Blair to
the United States Senate. This is not the
! first time this charge has been made, but
| it is the first time-we ever remember to
have seen it in the Times. General Grant
is responsible for the election of Mr.. Blair
just as much as he is to blame for the
present attitude of Messrs. Fenton, Gree
ley, Sumner, Mcclure, Schurz and Trum-
bull. He attempted to interfere in the
election in Missouri, and the bulk of the
Republican party refused to be dictated to
in the matter of selecting their own off,
GERS. General Grants agents and repre-
sentatives disrupted the party in Missouri,
as they have attempted to disrupt it in
Louisiana, for the purpose of making the
local government of the State the mere in
strument Of the federal administration.
The best Republicans resisted, and in the
contest which ensued the Democrats
obtained control of the Legislature. and
elected Mr.. Blair. Now, who is to
blame, the President for interfering where
he had no business to NEEDLE, or Mr..
Schurz for resisting such unjustifable and
unwarranted interference. If Massa-
chusetts resents the expulsion of Senator
Sumner from the Committee of Foreign
Relations by voting against General Grant,
who will be to blame but the President
himself? Did he not originate the dis
turbance? Did he not violate the indie
pendence CT the Senate by requiring the
overthrow Of Senator who had done
nothing but declare his opposition to a
given act? Did not the President first
strike at Mr.. Schurz? And is the latter to
be held accountable because he is chal-
lenged? The thousands of Republicans
in Louisiana who know how unjustifable
the federal officers in New Orleans have
sought to control them by virtue of
the power of the President are not
yet prepared to say that they
are to blame if they are displeased
While they were respected as capable of
managing their own affairs there was no
cause of quarrel; when they are sought to
be put under the feet of men who are not
their representatives, they resent the at
tempt and put the responsibility for their
anger on those who have attempted to
abuse them.

It is now an assured fact that Collector
Casey is to have the Mexican mission, but
it is a melancholy circumstance to us,
however gratifying to the Mexicans. The
collector has many friends in New Orleans
who will regret to part with him. He has,
besides, set us an example in American
politics which is interesting from its
novelty. Without being in favor of female
suffrage, he has achieved his only political
distinction through woman's influence
Perhaps his very exceptional theories in
politics will have salutary influence on
the Mexicans.

A REGRETTABLE DIsC0RDANcE.

With justified pride the people of our
State have pointed to the Law University
of Louisiana as an institution that would
do honor to any commonwealth. The
names of some of its former students now
are among the foremost at the bar in nearly
every State of the Union. For these rea-
sons, any discussions among its managers
can not but be considered a public ca
lamity.
1t appears that Professor Carleton Hunt,
differing from Professors Randell Hunt,
Roselius and Clarke, rejected number of
the members Of the last class. The latter,
considering themselves unfairly dealt with,
applied to and received from the board of
administrators their diplomas. Mr.. Rose
Illus is alleged to have resigned his position
as dean of the faculty, because of Mr..
Carleton Hunts course. Certain it is the
board has incurred the enmity of the latter
named gentleman, who yesterday applied
to Acting Governor Pinchback for
their removal Messrs. J. @. A. Fellowes,
Chief Justice Ludeling, P. Fl. Morgan,
George S. Lacey, Newton Richards, John
Illsley, B. H. Moss, Thomas Sloo and
Edward Rawle, are the eminent gentlemen
who would be retired by the success of Mr..
Hunts petition. We have not heard
any expression Of opinion from Governor
Pinchback on the merits Of this unfortun-
ate trouble, but doubt very much if he
contemplates any such wholesale slaug hter
as is proposed. We hope that reasona-
BILE explanation Will be made.

Discussing the strong Republican bias Of
the people of Illinois, the Missouri Repu1li.
can, drawing the moral of the overwhelming
Liberalism developed in that State, says
"IAis not too much to say that the Republic
can doctrines pure and simple-the doc
trines which Lincoln advocated IN his
speeches and proclamations, and illustrated
in his policy during and after the warfare
better understood, and more devotedly
loved, in Illinois than anywhere else; and
this fact, heretofore sufficiently clear to the
observing eye, is abundantly demonstrated
by the rapid growth of the Liberal move
ment there"

temporarily burying the Ratchet in order
to kill off the new foe-on the principle
that parties to family free fight unite to
to drive off the peace officer who interferes
to compromise their little antagonisms.
But MIR. Billings displayed unexpected
strength, for in the elections of city dele
gates, manipulated entirely by agents
Of the ring, he's declared to have all but
about half a dozen Of the successful can
didates pledged to his fortunes. And
backed by the influence and general re-
sources of the United States Court, what
is to prevent him proving equally success
full with the country delegates?
This question the Customhouse ring is
plainly not prepared to answer yet, and
more time is demanded in which to solve
the knotty and disagreeable problem; SO
taking lesson from Democratic strategy,
a postponement of nominations is de-
manded. Their organ suddenly discovers
that the call was never designed to cover
nominations of State ticket. Presi-
dental electors must be chosen-"th OBJ
ject alone must occupy the attention of the
convention. 1t even repudiates the right
Of the convention to adjourn to a future
day for the purpose Of making nomina-
tons, thus not only betraying the serious
defeat the ring has met at the hands ofthe
people who chose these representatives
but the fact that there is serious purpose
on the part Of some to complete ali the
duties for which State conventions are
usually summoned together at once. The
earnest and alarmed remonstrance of the
Citizens Guard proves how deadly is the
contest about to be decided so far as the
continued power ofthe ring, even within its
own little faction is concerned. While
not considering the issues involved as Of
any particular moment to the State or
the community at large, we shall still watch
the proceedings with an interest sharpened
by desire to see ambitious party traitors
pierced by their own tools.

The enemies of the Liberal Republican
movement tried to weaken the force Of the
monster meeting at Cooper Institute by
declaring that the names of General John

by the authoritative announcement that
each and every man whose name was so
used was in advance notified Of the fact,

ever, that it will be more amicable in its
deliberations than its predecessor. We
are sure it will be so. Not even our friend
Packard could sustain the luxury OF an

will be, we take for granted that it will be
all right.

Our statement that Caseys resignation

If Casey is kept in his place after the in

the whole history will come out during the
campaign, and it will cost him many votes,

as their wretched imitators in California
did, for no other reason than that they
were different race of people. This is
good news for the just.
