Judge Davis.

The Labor Reform. Convention re-
Gently in session at Columbus, Ohio,
nominated for President Hon. David
Davis, of Illinois, and for Vice Presi-
dent Hon. Ivel Parker, of New Jersey.
Judge Davis is a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States and is
Liberal Republican. Mr.. Parker is
Governor OF the State of New Jersey
and is Democrat. Both of them are
able men. 1t is expected that the
Liberal Republican Convention which
meets in Cincinnati in May will nomi-
nate the same ticket. When the
Democratic Convention meets those
who are in favor of the "passive poll
cy"-that is, the temporary disbanding
of the Democratic party make
an effort to get this ticket endorsed
So that it is pretty evident even
now that Grant will b e opposed
either by straight Democratic ticket
or by Davis aud Parker. For a ticket
of that kind it is about as good one
as could he found. Judge Davis is a
native of Maryland and is the executor
| of Mr.. Lincoln. He is not guilty of
endorsing any of the extreme measures
of the Republican party. Governor
Parker is staunch Democrat ard is
so popular that he always gets elected
Governor even when the Radicals
carry all the rest of the ticket in Now
Jersey.

The Ku-Klux.

From a despatch to the Cinciu
nat, Commercial, we learn that
some important KIN Klux decisions
arc soon to DC made:
ut will be remembered that tho
prosecutions of the Ku-Klux h,
South Carolina were stopped a few
weeks ago because of the disagree.
ment of tile circuit judge and thu
district judge sitting together for
the tIial of these causes. The "a.
ses we're therefore certified up to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The points npon which
the court will be required to decide
are as follows: First, as to whether
or not, nnler the enforcement Law
of May 81, 1870, persons can be
punished for committing a crime
defined under the laws of the State.
and secoud, rs to whether or not
the right to bear arms is right
guaranteed by the constitution.
and to be protected under the en-.
forcement act. This will substan.
TALLY test the validity of the act
in question, and decide whether
criminals shall be punished for vio.
lating this law the same as those
that are punished under the State
law. This important question will
be brought up in short time in
the Supreme Court. Attorney
General Williams and General Bris.
tow will appear for the Govern.
ment, and Reverdy johnson md
Henry Stanbery for Ku-Klux.

THE LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY.
We are pleased to learn that the
late General Assembly came literally
to the support of this excellent insti-
tuition. An appropriation of $4,000
was made to detray existing liabilities,
support the State cadets, carry on the
Geological survey &c. 1t is likely
that the whole amount donated by
Congress for the support of an Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College, will
be bestowed upon it. A bill to rebuild
the College edifice at the old place in
this Parish passed the House without
opposition, but was not reached in thu
Senate. It's restoration to its old sit
is only a question of time. We ar
pleased to learn that the Institution
under it's able management, is in I
very flourisling condition.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The General Assembly of louisa
ma, the most disgraceful body that
ever held SESSION, has at last adj
iourned. Elected by fraud, it main
tanned its existence by rascality, and
came to an end only when there was
nothing more to steal. Friends and
foes, insiders and outsiders, members
and others, all unite in one single
opinion as to it's corruption. Even
Governor Warmoth himself, whose
nefarious acts it has sustained, testi-
fed under oath that he did not know
of but one member who could not be
bought. The Courts in New Orleans
are even now engaged in deciding the
question whether Senator Lewis shall
receive $4,000 promised him for
helping to elect the immaculate
Pinchback Lieutenant Cove rnor; and
this incorruptible Senator sees no
improperly in prosecuting his claim
for a bride before the courts, openly
and in the eyes of the civilized world.
A friend of ours recently heard a
member of the House, an exConfed-
crate officer, announce his determin-
alton to run for the Senate next Fall,
and the only reason he gave for it
was that there is money an 1t; that
Devices, for instance, has made $500,
900 out of his seat, and that others,
both Republicans and Democrats,
have made sums almost as large. 1t
is true that there are some good and
honest men in the Legislature, like
Futon and Blackman in the Senate,
and Moncure and Stevens in the
House, but these are so few as to
make the general corruption only the
more apparent, as a torch at mid
night only serves to render the sur
rounding darkness the more conspic-
nous.
This state of things cannot last
much longer. We warned the peo-
pie of the danger at the last election
but our voice was lifted up in vain.
We told them that the Radicals
would steal their hard earnings; that
the taxation laid on to fill carpet-bae
pockets would bankrupt them all
but they said they took no interest
in politics, and behold the result Of
their apathy. A want of interest il
politics at the next election will ne
cessitate every honest mans leaving
the State.
Although the governor and his
friends pretended they were in favo1
of reform, tn ey have failed tt
pass single measure of reform de
handed by the people. For weeks
reform bills were before the Legis
lature, and though amendments were
adopted, the careful reader of the ole
| and the new acts would fail to dis
f tinguish any difference between them
e The people are as much in the hand
of Warmoth and his crew as befor
the Legislature met in January last
t But we think We can see deter
: mination among solid men of all pc
h litical parties to put stop to til
8 present lamentable State of affair:
We think that there will be con
bination of all conservative men on
= common ticket, who will 60 into th
:. campaign on reform platform, an
t who will go in to win. We thin]
# too, that they will go in with a.dete
g mination that, if elected fairly, the
If ticket shall be counted in. Mr.. Wa
n moth has counted in about the la
!. man who claimed to be, elected witt
IL out getting any votes. We warn a
- whom it may concern against a rep
!. tition of the Sabine iniquity.

WAsHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY-The
anniversary of the birth of that
great and good man, George Wash.
ington, has again suggested a com.
parison between the republicanism
of his day and of ours. A just and
economical government, based on
the full and free consent of the peo.
pie, was the high ann of Washing.
ton and his compatriots. How
great the fall from such purpose
to that which actuates the Presi.
dents, Governors and law makers
of this degenerate era! Look at
the president of the White House.
His love of country is measured
solely by what he can make out Of
the country in gifts, emouments
and speculations. He winks at
frauds, if covered by bonus to
himself; and every thing is accept,
able, from a span OF. horses toa
cottage at Long Branch. This same
spirit runs through all the depart
ments OF the federal machinery; but
in the reconstructed" States of the
South, under the fraudulent, I'M
quitous and usurpat0ry govern.
ments forced upon the people
against their consent, through the
aid of bayonets and the strategy Of
of camp, jackals an j carpet-bas
vampires, are to be found the worst
examples of the worst government
that the world has ever seen. In
? Louisiana we have a Legislature
which is a libel on repres entatige
institutions, and a government
which, where it is not an open liv.
ing lie is a concealed and deadly
fraud.

January an old gentleman by the
name of McNees, who was i'll town
for the purpose of procuring hands,
was induced by a freedman to whom
he had advanced SIS 90 upon promise
that he would 60 with him, to enter
shop on Texas street, when he was
assaulted by several negroes, knock
ed down and robbed of $40 90. Six
negroes were implicated and were
tried at the last term of the District
Court, by a jury composed of eight
blacks and four whites. The verdict
was as follows: George Cumpston,
guilty of assault and robbery John
Head of assault with intent to commit
robbery Jesse Lloyd and Joe Gilreese
Of larceny, with recommendation of
mercy. At the close of the term the
Judge sentenced Cumpston to the
penitentiary for fourteen and Head for
two years: Lloyd and Gilreese each
for one year. On Saturday evening
these prisoners in company with other
convicts, were taken off ON the steamer
South Western under charge Of Sher-
if Walsh. After they left dispatch
reached here addressed to Mr.. Walsl,
and notifying him to retain Cumpston,
Lloyd and Head, as the Governor had
pardoned them, and the papers would
be forwarded Immediately. We re.
gard this as one of the greatest out.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

We published in our last the address
of the Democratic Central Committee
to the people of the State calling a
Convention to meet in New Orleans on
the 18th of April next. A meeting, we
understand, will soon he called to send
delegates from this Parish. We hope
to see every Parish in the State fully
and ably represented.
The Convention is only for consulta-
ton and not for the nomination of Off
GERS. There are many things to be ia
ken into consideration before candi-
dates can be nominated. The wisdom
and integrity of the party must first be
brought together, so that when step
shall be taken it will be taken advised
" and considerably. An attempt, in
the interests of all, will be made to
unite all the opponents of Radicalism
on common ticket, and this effort
must succeed.
The Reform party has called Con-
yention to meet in New Orleans on the
Odd of April. This movement, origl-
mating among gentlemen OF known
ability and responsibility, and having
in view the same objects as the Demo-
Gratis, is entitled to the most respectful
treatment. No such action toward
them must be tolerated, as will tend to
drive them away from their conscien-
tious opposition to the present corrupt
State administration. Many Republic
cans, too, of both factions, have signi-
fed their Willingness to make common
cause against any further waste of the
peoples money. These must be treat
ed with kindness and consideration
We do not wish to be misunder.
stood. Everybody knows that we are
Democrat and that we would do bat,
tie to the last in defense of the princi'
pies and the organization of the Demo
cratic party. We believe that a Con
servative victory would be obtained
the more easily under Democratic or
ganization than under new one. w,
do not see any reason why RefOrmer
and Conservative Republicans shOull
not be willing to fight under the ban
ner of that glorious old party. But WI
do not intend to set up our reason
against that of men who may be per
haps wiser than we. We want uniol
of all Conservative men against tn
/; Radicals, and We are perfectly Willing
t to leave to the majority of these men
f of all parties, to say how that uniol
D shall be effected. In the meantime W
: will tolerate no abuse of any set q
, men, Democrat or Republican, whit
or black, who are conscientiously op
posed to continuance of the presen
State and Federal administration. LIE
no man, therefore, set us down as on
of the impracticables.

Total. III, U0l
The vote reported in 1870 was:
Republican -.65,5 S2
Democratic. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Al ,SlS
Total .-.-.....-.-.... LOG, 542
There was then a Democratic official
majority of is, lG9 in 1863, and Re-
publican majority of 1922 in 1870.
These majorities have been much con-
troverted. It is charged by the Re.
publicans that the Democratic party
deferred the negro voters from coming
to the polls in 1868. 1t is known that
many legal white voters would not or
could not participate in the vote of that
year. On the other hand, it is known
that the registration frauds of 1870
gave the Republicans the control of the
Legislature by means of bogus returns.
Our object, however, is to approximate
the aggregate vote of Louisiana, at
present.
The whole population of this State
in 1870 was 734,420. OF these lO6,442
seem to have voted. We 60 step
further. Tie Republican vote is COM
posed almost entirely of colored peo-
pie. If we divide the population
equally between the whites and blacks,
there will result, according to reason
ing and known fact, majority of col
ored suffragans. Thus the colored
plantation laborers are in good part
immigrants without the normal pro-
| portion of women and children. There
are some 5000 or 6OOO black laborerf
and draymen employed on the Levee
and in the city. There are 25,OO(
to 10000 black men in river naviga'
| ton.
This disparity of the adult popula
ton accounts for the majority of color
ed voters, estimated all the way from
10000 to $4,000. The aggregate col
ored vote is assumed at from 1000
to 10000.
If these figures be even approximate
it is plain that so long as a whole vot'
of the black people shall be cast for tn
present official organization of the Rad
zeal party, that official ticket must b
successful. The question for all tru
reformers now is: How can portion
of the black people voting for the Rad
ical ticket be detached and added t
the reform polli 1t is useless to mar
shall and manipulate the white man
party, So long as the poll shall be di
} vided on color, SO long will seventy q
ninety thousand beat fifty or sixt
thousand. The black people hold nc
merely the balance of power, but til
, power itself.
Dunn saw that the FIVE Republica
) members and two Senators in Congress
were all white men, elected by til
( votes of black men. He saw that til
? most lucrative and exalted officers T,
the State were white Republicans, {
t greedy that they filled several ofic,
t apiece. This power must be convince
!, that reform is as important for them I
, for others. This is the problem Fl
t the reform managers. Let them cea'
e to quarrel over measures which the
f cannot carry by themselves, and uni
e in counsel as to the means by whi'
Q the votes of the cOlOred citizens can

TO be given at the Town" Hall, on

iect in giving this Ball, by our He
