MORE HARMONY.

That the Republican party d
Louisiana could not elect a single
candidate with a division in it,
ranks, was o fact so plain and &c
patent that as long as two State
tickets remained in the field, no one
Twas visionary enough to look for
ward to anything but certain de-
feat in November. It was the at
tachment to Republican doctrines
and the power Of this impression
that dictated the conferences of the
two Republican committees, the
compromise on the two State tickets,
and the agreement to have one tick
ct, the consolidation Of the two
State Central and Parish Commit
tees, and indeed the Inauguration Of
all the measures calculated to secure
one party, one set of leaders, and
one set of nominees.
In this noble and patriotic work
the party leaders have steadily pro-
ceeded, and completed on Monday
last their last changes. These are
in the selection of one Congressman
from each Of those districts in which
two had been nominated. Our State
ticket as corrected to-day presents
the candidates as selected by the
State Central Committee and re-
commended by them to the support
of the Republicans OF Louisiana.
It is but just we should soy that
the majority Of the candidates con-
6ded their fate to the ballot of the
Committee. The only exception to
the above rules being Senator But
ler, of Plaquemines, who in the in
the interest of harmony and with
characteristic magnanimity declined
his nomination in favor of j. Hale
Sypher.
Acquiescence in the work of the
Committee in the cases they dealt
with will we believe be soon secured.

AUDITOR GRAHAM Vi LAW
AND COURTS.

We always had a natural sympa'
thy with the oppressed and thu
prosecuted, we therefore, feel ex'
tremely sorry for the law and the
courts, that MI: Graham is deter
mined, if necessary, to rot in jail
to defy and defeat. There were
times in human history when per-
secutors of the innocent, and the
slayers of the spotless were canon
lied, and the idea some how struck
us that the Auditors reelection
would be equivalent to saintship,
and hence his alacrity to pander "a
momentary Democratic clamor, and
contemn law, Judges and courts'
Constituting himself, not only a
ministerial State officer, but the
reviser and resister of judicial de-
cisions and the impudent censor Of
the legislative departments Of the
government. Poor Legislature!
Poor LawN and Poor Courts ! :!
Judge Cooley essayed to vindicate
the injured ho1or Of his Court and
q telegraphie pardon from . Gov
ernor a Thousand miles from the
State set the Auditor free. Judge
Dibble's notions Of propriety die
tate to him to deny the Governors
right to pardon such contempt and
to send the Auditor to jail again,
with these instructions:
ut is ordered that the respond
ent, James Graham, be remanded
into the custody Of the Sheriff. who
is instructed to imprison him in the
Parish Jail and there to hold him
under the commitment made in this
case by the Hon. w. Cooley, pre-
siding in this Court, Sep. IL, 1872.
The Sheriff will 20 hold therespond-
ent until the further order Of this
Court, unless directed to raleas him
by the Supreme Court Of the State.
How fur this "rotting in jail" is
going, Or how summary and VIC
lent may be the conflict between the
Executive and the Judiciary depart
ments Of the Government it is i'm
possible to say. Yesterdays papers
TEEN with appeals to Democratic
sympathy to sustain the Auditor in
his crusade. Of course they do.
Have they not been all along de-
nouncing the lawmakers, and Is It
not perfectly consistent for them to
denounce and repudiate tho binding
force of the laws2

~The DonaldsonuiM Chief il

liant over the winner Of the cfastest
race on record" This event accord
ing to the Chief has settled the
question; hear it:
"The salvation of Louisiana ia
due to but one man, and that man
the most talented, able and worst
abused in the State-Henry Clay
Warmoth. His indomitable energy,
keen perception and wonderful exc
cutive ability have freed us from the
yoke of Grantism, and if his won
derful trip from New York to New
Orleans in the unprecedented time
Of g. hours, by which he triumphed
over the enemies of himself and
Louisiana, has not excited the ad-
miration Of even his worst defamers,
and the gratitude Of the opponents
Of Grant and Kellogg, then are we
greatly mistaken"
Now friend Bentley are you not
Just q tri6e in advance of events?
Are you 'freed from the yoke Of
Grantism," which in reality means
the overthrow Of Republioanism
and the ascendancy Of Democracy?
Are you not too enthusiastic in this
ticipation? We can abide your
making the most Of whatever there
is in Governor Warmoth and the

can ohuckle over the sagadty and

rejoicing under any circumstances

COMPLIMENTARY.

The nomination of Hon. j. Henri
Burch for the State Senate is a
most fitting acknowledgement Of
the merits Of that able representa-
tive colored men. As We fought
against MI. Burch while he and our
selves followed opposing leaders,
following one standard to-day, and
striving for a common victory,
h~enceforth shall our voice and pen
be raised to do battle for him. The
bitterness with which we assailed
him when he was tho champion of
a faction, shall be compensated by
the zeal with which we will advocate
his claims, as the standard-bea of
q united party.
The above we clip from the her.
ollie Mws, and in return will say to
"Charley" and George" that we
willingly clasp hands across the inky
chasm, forget the chickering's and
misunderstanding of the past, and
now that the future is 80 bright we
propose to 60 hand in hand with
our contemporaries in their re-
solves.
The above is from the Grand Era
Of September 21st, and the friendli-
ness breathing all through the
compliment and the acknowledge
mentof it makes usfeel good, and as
we think we know friend "Burch,"
and "Charley," and "George," well
enough to offer to make four in the
game, suppose we play partners.
Joking apart, we are sincerely glad
Of the cessation of partizan "biek-
erings and Observation-Disclosures" and
no course suits us better than going
"hand in hand" to struggle and to
triumph.

MORE CONVENTIONS.

"Not many days. hence" this
city and parish viii be all astir with
parish. nominating Conventions
There are now calls for no less than
three different party Conventions
to put in nomination three different
candidates for each respective Of
fee. 1t is Of the utmost importance
that caution and circumspection
should distinguish the action Of the
Republican Convention, inasmuch
as beyond all doubt the best and
most available men will be brought
to the front. Through the narrow
mindedness, greed, and iliberality
of our political adversaries who
fancy they are masters Of the situa-
ton, little can be hoped for in the
way of compromise, and some
doubt and uncertainty may follow
us to the ballot-box. Having then
mo part nor lot" in the counsels.
the proposals, nor the successes Of
such men, we are interested only in
knowing the best and the surest
way to cave this city and parish to
the Republican Party, which is
really the only party that will and
that can administer the affairs Of
the municipality and parish, for the
best interests of the WHOLE PEOPLE.
But our party with it's prestige and
it's qualifications must itself avoid
splitting on the rock which has
hitherto invariably foundered the
Democratic ship.
Our convention must direct it's
attention towards nominating for
judges Of the various District Courts
men who are not only legally qnali-
fed to fill the places, but who also
command the respect and the con-
6dence of the bulk Of those on
whose votes their election depends.
For Mayor and Administrators SIM
liar p~ainstaking is absolute necessa-
~. The labors, and the response
bilities of the Administrators of the
City affairs have vastly increased
and the expansion Of the City, the
improvements going on, and the
constant demand for the display Of
industry, and sagacity, de-
mand that our best men should be
selected to fill these places. Her.
efforts will be made to obtain
control of the City government by
the Democracy, and nothing but
similar labor on our part can defeat
the Vaccinations and the combina-
lions against ms. What is true of
the principal Offices, is also true of
the secondary and lesser positions.
The Republican party being q unit
will find its labors considerably less
embarrassed in this work than in its
in the State affairs, and if it
act up to the suggestions and de-
mands of the occasion by q just re-
of the claims, and the
qualifications Of the representatives
OF the various elements composing
the voters of the Parish of Orleans
entertain no doubt that success
will crown our efforts in November.
