FUTURE PARTIES.


-
Politicians are anxious about the
course the administration intends to
pursue, and some journals are even
anticipating its policy in order to
have something to combat. The
late election seems to have fully en-
dorsed the present administration,
and nothing would seem more like
foolishness than to continue a con
troversy about whether its former
policy was right or wrong. The
bare supposition that there will be
a continuance of the past on the
part of the administration, and a
disposition to fault-fnding will not
make matters anv better. and will be
more likely to make them worse. On
the hypothesis that human nature is
about the same whether a man is in
office or out of office. 1t will be

is being done before We condemn;
and it is time enough to mark ont
a course for the opposition, o. to
worry about what name it shall

and Liberal Republicans of Ohio
have had a meeting, and appointed
a committee to prepare en- address,
which sets forth, among other things.
that a party shall be formed called
the Liberal party, composed of all
the members of the Democratic and
Republican parties who are opposed
to the radical measures of the present
administration. The Liberals of
Brooklyn. \. Y, have determined to
preserve their organization. and have
called a meeting and resolved to call
themselves simply Liberals in future.
Many Of them made speeches, and
declared that they had burned the
bridges behind them when they left
the Republican party. The n. "

the old Democratic party and says
d" its chances for a victorious re-
establishment are better and more
promising than at any time within
the last fifteen years" 1t thinks
that the war and negro questions,

The steamer Idaho a few DAYS ago

The steamer Idaho a few days ago
arrived at San Francisco by the aid
of a wooden cylinder. Several days
before her arrival the cylinder head
blew out. There was no iron found
nv at hand at which a new one could
be cast. But necessity is the mother
of invention. and a Yankee carpen-
ter among the passengers proved
himself master of the situation. He
constructed a wooden substitute for
the iron casting, and Notwithstanding
the fact that it was subjected to the
entire pressure of the motive power
which propelled the ship, the sub
stitute worked with entire success.
Where there is a will there is a way,
and wherever there is a Yankee
there is very likely to be an inven-
ton if the occasion requires it.

liean party at the outset made it popular
and eventually gained it the control Of the
government Had it adhered to this adj
miiable system Of ethics there would now
be no occasion for an opposing party,
springing up from the crevices it left open.
But through its interstices now spreads a
great obscuripg political element. which
is destined to extinguish it, as the green
grass By neglect and decay grows rank
and thick upon the abandoned pavement or
beautiful lawn. Had the Republican party,
as it was originally founded remained
pure and earnest in its mission, upholding
pure government and applying the correc-
tive to political abuses, the necessity for
the Liberal movement would not have
arisen
But, like all parties in this country, its
career Of virtue speedily ceased, and cor
rupting influences soon converted it into
an instrument Of venality, vice and
treachery. What the Democratic. party
was in its days Of power the Republican
party became and under its direction the
government became machine run in the
interest Of ofice-holders and personal IA
vorites. Distrust ensued, and party fealty
relaxed at the call of patriotism and love
Of coun ~. Men did not cease to be Re
pubhcans, but they refused to indorse
corrupt doctrines and adhere TO a policy
which was insidiously undermining the
principles and traditions of free institu-
tions The people were not ready to sur
render all Of the benefits and blessings Of
government for the sake of Keeping
professed Republican, military Presi-
dent-in office.
Hence arose the great Liberal party
1t was founded by Republicans, men of
pure poll ical principles, and with whom
love of country has a deeper significance
than partisan fealty. They did not aban-
don pure Republican doctrines, but sought
to uphold and preserve them despite the
rank weeds that had grown up among
them, and were gradually but inevitably
gaining an ascendency of ruin and evil to
the nation.
To keep the government pure requires
pure, conscientious party to administer
it The Republican party, as interpreted
by General Grants administration, has
ceased to be this. The country perceived
the fault, and applied the remedy. It was
by pulling up by the roots this fungus out
growth of bad politics, such a centraliza-
ton and partial amnesty, Of speculation in
the resources of the public credit, of
fraudulent legislation and political rings
for personal advancement, and favoritism,
and substituting in their stead the cardi-
nal doctrines and stern purity of the orr
ginal Republican party.
1t was done at the proper time, and has
answered the purpose admirably It
caught the enthusiasm of the people, and
las absorbed in its onward sweeping
movement the fragments Of parties with
which the country has been beset In
deed, it is the great tidal wave which is
destined to draw out corruption and i'm
purity i'll our national and State affairs,
and inaugura grander and happier era
than has been known in years.
Such is the destined achievement Of the
Liberal Republican movement.

ten cents in 1860 Sugar was worth
twelve to fifteen cents. against three to
four cents in 1860. The cost Of produc-
ton had not increased in this ratio, and
as the great markets Of the world were
reported bare Of cotton, the commercial
writers, both in Eupope and America,
wrote the article up, till our real estate
owners thought we were to realize i'm
mense profits from the sale and growth of
the staple. Consequently, real estate
owners put up prices Of lots and houses to
match, and leases were executed and sales
made on so high a scale that business men
were unable to pay their. rents, and some
Of them compromised with their landlords,
and spectators who made purchases, grew
sick of their bargains. For cotton fell,
and with it the value Of city property, yet
middling is now worth twenty-four cents,
which is still handsome advance over
prices before the war So that the en-
HANGED value Of real estate in the city is
traceable to the improved prospects of
the rural districts at the close Of the war.
The fact that these hopes were not fully
realized is not material to our position, as
we only attempted to show the cause of a
result. 1t is not true that the city is richer
than it was before the war, and the bur-
dens of taxation here are, indeed, grievous.
Doubtless this is true Of the country, so
that on the ground of actual ability to pay
more, there is little room to stand in
either case.
But, whatever the rights of the case may
be, the law has settled it in favor of the
views of Riparian. That is, New Orleans
is assessed for the State Ievee tax, the same
as the parish of Iberville or Claiborne, and
we have not raised the point that payment
should be resisted. We only wish to de-
fend New Orleans from the implied charge
Of Sinking its share ofthe public burdens.
We regard the payment of the State levee
tax by the city as a stretch of generosity
rather than the fuIfllment Of an obliga-
ton.

Puhlic Administrators.

The following is copied from the Alexan-
dFia Democrat:
We understand that the Supreme Court
has rendered a decision to the effect that
nO-office as public administrator exists I'm.
der the law.
Not long since, in the case of the VIM
succession before Judge Daigre, Judge
Ryan sprung the question that the law
creating the Office had been repealed by
the Revised Statutes, and his opinion was
sustained by the court. The decision ere
ated no little excitement; was concurred in
by many learned iurists, but poohpoohed
in other quarters. The question was
brought before Judge Osborn. of the dis
trict court, under the intrusion act, de.
cision readily obtained in favor of the pub
lie administrator, and an appeal taken to
the Supreme Court at Opelousas. The
court has reversed the decision of the dis
tfict court, thus sustaining the original de-
cisiOn of the parish court. AS the case is
an exceedingly important one, we hope to
be able soon to lay the opinion of the Su-
preme Court in full before our readers.

A POLICE QUARREL.

Our reporter recounts, in the tersest
manner possible, the facts relative to a
point of au hority between the. Superin-
tendent Of Police and Board Of Police
Commissioners. Granting that the law
gives the board all the power it assumes,
even to the stationing OF patrolmen upon
the various beats, and the assignment Of
others to ennergent and special duties, for
the good of the service we and the public
must sustain the Superintendent in the
issue raised foolishly and unnecessarily
raised-by the board. We hope and be-
ieve his Excellency Governor Warmoth
will do so, too, at whatever sacrifice Of
feelings or friendships it may entail.
We do not desire to be understood as
admitting that the authority exercised by
the board is warranted by the terms of
the law. In fact, we doubt if any law
maker ever contemplated giving more
than general supervision over the force to
body meeting in brief sessions at weekly
intervals. The assumption, therefore,
that the chief of police was intended as a
mere fgurehead, and without power to dis
tribute his men as their availability and
the requirements of the hour demanded,
and upon which points he of all others
must be best informed, is in the extreme
absurd.
In the case in question the subsequent
transfers by the board show grounds for
the Superintendent's action, and aggravate
the matter as it is a direct avowal to all
derelict officers that the nominal chiefmay
be snubbed and insulted at will, provided
the delinquent is sure Of his footing with
the high joint commissioners. Discipline
and efficiency under such circumstances
would be simply an impossibility, and
costly Institution rendered absolutely
worthless to the city. =
The Metropolitan Police, under Colonel
Badger, has been in the highest degree
servceable, and the Superintendent him
self is universally admitted to be the
ablest head Of the Police Department we
nave ever had. The city cannot afford to
lose his services for mere captious whim
OF men who, from the very nature of
things should yield to his better knowledge
of the necessities Of the service, We hone
tie board viii amend their rules. if their
action has been taken in pursuance Of
such, and that the immediate and detailed
government Of the police will hereafter be
permitted to remain where it properly be-
longs, with the Superintendent.

Taken per Sc, Warmoth is bad enough in
all conscience, but not so bad as some of
these coaltionists represented him when he
was not /" their man" But elected as ''their
man" what language could express the
mischief which be would personity Dolly
Varde51 Pic.
That is to say, while the coElitionists
and the Pioaysae worked together, Gov
ernor Warmoth was a tolerably bad man !;
but since he has been joined by the late
partners of the Picaptae, refused to go
with it for Grant, and gave their support
to the Governor, he is likely to be SO much
worse than he was originally that calcula-
ton fails to estimate the-diference The
question arises at this point, if it was not
desperate wickedness Of the Picagntae that
induced the coalitionists to hunt for-an
honester partner than their old associate ?

We believe that whatever of weakness
there is in our national organization to-day
is clearly and directly traceable to such
strifes as we have indicated, and it requires
no prophetic vision to f0resee that if the
evil is not corrected it will result in the ut
ter disintegration of the party.-St. Louis
Democrat (Grant organ.
The above paragraph refers to the iden-
teal strifes which General Grants friends
precipitated upon the Republican party
in this State and which they are still pre-
cipitating. The federal appointees, in
stead Of attending to national affairs, have
attempted to control the State in their.own
interest by virtue of the patronage and in
fuence. which they borrowed from Wash
ington. Mr.. Kellogg secured his election
to the United States Senate by abusing
the epatronage; Mr.. Casey at
tempted to do the same thing; Mr.. Pack
ard has attempted to make himself Gov
ernor by abusing the same power and
Patronage. The people of Louisiana were
denied the right to select their own Off
GERS by General Grants friends and en-
ployes. The same attempt was made in
New York, which resulted in the disrup-
ton of the party there. Missouri revolted
against the same meddIesome and i'm
proper attempt Illinois has done the
same thing. Massachusetts, rebelled be-
cause General Grants friends attempted
to force the Republicans of that State to
nominate General Butler for Governor.
Wherever the Republican party is weak
there the hand Of the President has been
busy with matters that he had no right
to interfere with. And the effect has been
and will be just what the Missouri Dem
ocrat declares.

GOVERNOR WARMOTHls STRENGTH

The Picaytne urges as an objection to
Governor Warmoth the following:
The most OverpOwering argument against
WarmOth iaathat he is the favorite Of the
rabble of hungry politicians, who have only
abandoned the Democratic or some other
party, as rats scamper from sinking ship
or desert an empty larder, and who find in
the sentiment of anything for success and
anybody to get Office their logical platform,
and the only bond of cohesion which they
require.
Which we interpret to mean that Cover
nor Warmoth is regarded by shrewd poll
ticians as the strongest man in the State,
and that the more popular he grows the
stronger wakes the objection of the Dolly
Warden organ. Let the increase thrive.
