JUDGE OeDFNlg RESOLUTION.

The passage of Judge Ogden's resolu-
ton yesterday in the Democratic conven-
ton, offered as a substitute to the one
reported by the committee on resolutions,
to the effect that the convention re-
fused any alliance with Governor War
moth and his friends, the Liberal Repub-
licans, is an encouraging evidence that
something good may yet result from the
labors Of this convention.
The resolution ignoring Governor War
moth and the Liberal Republicans was re-
ported by Mr.. Carlton Hunt, the chair
man of the committee on resolutions, and
when Judge Ogden's resolution, offered
as a substitute to the same, inviting the
cooperation Of all parties in favor of re-
form, came up it was vigorously opposed
by all the power and eloquence of Judge
Hunt, who said, in his positive way that
he did mot think it proper to put aside
the judicious resolution Of the committee
on resolutions to consider the substitute
before the convention.
There was an evident indisposition on
the part Of majority of the convention
to hear Judge Hunts opposition to the
passage Of Judge Ogden's resolution, but
Difference to the patriarch, and his perse-
verance, finally succeeded in giving him a
hearing; and he certainly did his level
best to defeat even a chance of opening
the door Of the Democratic convention to
Governor Warmoth and the Liberal Re-
pubEcans. But the power and eloquence
Of Judge Hunt were not sufficient to arrest
the passage of Judge Ogden's resolution.
And what is still more wonderful, after
the studied effort of learned and right
eous judge, is that the resolution should
have passed the convention by a vote of
2423 yeas to 281 nays.
This is certainly encouraging to those
friends Of reform who have joined Cover
nor Warmoth and the Liberal Republican
party, inaugurated at Cincinnati, looking
to the regeneration of State and national
politics, even if the ''impracticables in
this convention should defeat in the end
the efforts Of Governor Warmoth and the
Liberal Republicans to bring about such
wholesome results. In that case there
will be no alternative left but to call
Liberal Republican convention in this
State and make straight-out Liberal Re 1
publican State and national ticket, and
present it to the people for their support.
We are satisfied that such a ticket,
pledged to the reform of State and ma
tional politics, could not fail to receive a
large majority Of the votes of our people,
Of old party ties.

SOMETHING IKE TT

Mr. I. w. Patton denies that he used
the language which we placed to his credit
on Tuesday. He says he did not affirm
Of the Democratic party that the people
had lost confidence in it If he did not
say that he ought to have said it, and he
did say something so much like it that we
are critically disinclined to draw the dis
tinction. But to bring the matter to the
judgment Of the public, We give the pre-
else language Of Mr.. Patton, as we find it
in an address issued by him from the
rooms Of the Democratic Parish Commit
tee on the twelfth Of March last, to wit;
Dissatisfaction and distrust have been
aroused against the party by the betrayal
OF our interests and principles by some of
| our former leaders, both in and out of Office.
upon whom the Democracy of the State in
former days delighted to shower hOnors of
place and power. While we admit the
| truth of the charge with humiliation we
| deny that these recreant servants of the
people have received cOuntenance or sup
port since the discovery of their crime8
from the party which elected them to office.
The above extract admits the loss of
confidence, confesses the reason, and asks
for rehearing. The popular distrust
and dissatisfaction that were aroused
against the Democracy originated in the
betrayal Of the principles Of that party by
its trusted leaders, and while Mr.. Patton
is Inundated at making the admission,
he appeals to the people to renew their
trust, because the men who betrayed them
had been displaced by other and better
leaders. If the political chemists of the
Democratic convention can make any
thing less out Of the above extract than
we did they are respectfully invited to
submit their analysis.
We gave Mr.. Patton credit for making
the above assertion, because it hit the
truth squarely on the head. The people
have lost confidence in the Democratic
party, and the Democrats know it. The
uprisings all over the country prove the
fact. The distraction that prevails in the
Democratic convention establishes the
point The detection of the Reformers
goes clearly to evidence that they had no
confidence in the ability Or strength of the
Democracy to save the State New York
has repudiated it. Pennsylvania has re-
pudiated it. Tennessee has abandoned it.
Arkansas has departed from the faith.
Missouri has gone to the Liberal Repub-
licans. And the best Democrats in Lou
isiana will not support its ticket if it in
sists on bothering them with a set of Bour-
bon nominees. Mr.. Patton told the truth,
and we intend to hold to it if he does not.

into practical shape because the case OF
Fellows recurs to their minds with dis
unctness that unnerves them. And what
is worse than all, the very sins that they
charge upon the Governor can be
brought home to their own friends,
and they know it. The dishonesty
that they pirate about is in their own polit-
lcal family, and the plumber that they ac-
cuse the Republicans with having flched
was bought by their own partisans over
the veto Of the man they abuse. This is
no time for nice words. We know the
Democratic party, both Of yesterday and
| to-day. We know the men who have
profted at the expense Of the State, and
most Of them are in the crowd that is
abusing Governor Warmoth. And that is
why their speeches are vague and general,
being a constant reiteration Of epithets
without any reference to specific
acts of wrongdoing. The Democratic
convention is composed of many good
men, and these gentlemen are afraid to
show their faith, leastwise something may
be developed to make them ashamed here
after. Let them have no fear upon this
head Governor Warmoth has done
nothing that has not been made public.
If they can find in his printed record
that which arms them against him
as bad man, they should ex-
plain the specific act in order that
it may be corrected to them, if correction
is possible. If. they can not, there is
nothing more to come. He has assumed
responsibility for the good Of the State,
and he is willing to do so again. He has
been traduced for his friendship to the
Democrats, and he is willing to endure
other traduction in the same behalf. He
is anxious to help the better portion of
the people, but he is not willing to help
the rowdy element Of the Democratic
party, for that is worse than the most
vicious portion of the Republican party.
He is not undone, because he can win in
his own party if be chooses SO to do. He
prefers rather to assist the good and rea-
sonable people Of all parties, if they will
consent to be helped. If they will not
admit his efforts, then he will be forced,
as the worst Of two evils, to assist in de-
feating the Democracy, for the country
nor his own obligation will allow him to put
these men in power in Louisiana who are
incapable Of governing with justice, and
whose skirts are soiled with the offenses
that have been SO wickedly laid at his
door. The convention can choose for
itself Governor War1noth has his choice |
in his own possession. The door Of OPP
portunity has been opened; let those who
shut it take the consequences.

THE REASON WHY,

The proposition to unite with the
DEMOCRATS and Reformers made by the
Liberal Republicans was rejected last
night by packed committee Of twenty
four on the ground that the Republicans
would be likely to demand representation
on the State ticket. Rather than consent
to division Of the offices, the ''impracti-
cables recklessly resolved to lose all
Such will be the inevitable result Of the
action Of the committee if sustained by
the convention. There is, however, every
prospect Of a bolt and fare-up if it comes
to that

OF CHEEK THE nHRRKIEsT

In proposing to sell out the entire re-
mainder Of the State ticket to the Demo
Gratis for their nomination Of him as Gov
ernor, and promising to have the Baton
Rouge convention ratify this hermaphro-
ditto ticket, Senator William Pitt Kellogg,
OF Illinois and Nebraska, showed most
consummate impUdence and self-reliance,
and placed an unusually low estimate
upon the colored people of Louisiana
We don't believe that Mr.. Kellogg ever
made pretense that Louisiana was his
home, that he ever had more than an official
residence here, or had single interest in
common with Louisianians. As collector
Of the port he sojourned here as brief time
as the safe-keeping Of his lucrative Office
would permit, and the increased indie
pendence granted him as Senator has en-
abled him to infict upon US but merely
formal calls, short and far between. The
records Of lle departments furnish album
dant proof that his solicitude in the way
of ofice-getting has been confined almost
exclusively to his Illinois friends and
neighbors, and even the foreign appoint
ments which have been conceded, and in
the blue book are charged to Louisiana,
are filed by nQn-residepts and strangers to

Says the Citizens Guard: "The attempt
Of Governor Warmoth to secure the Dem
ocratic nomination is equivalent to with
drawing the last plank that bound him to
the Republican party" As the Repub-
ican party has already shown its conf
dence in the Governor by rendering him
nomination, this deduction Of the Guard
from its own unauthorized proposition is
not clear. And if it is correct, where
does the Guards pet carpet-bag Senator,
Pitt Kellogg, stand?

There is time for all things, and the
time for the drawing Of the single number
tickets, Louisiana State Lottery, viii be to-
morrow at eleven o'clock in the morning,
over the rooms of the co mpany. The CAPT
tai prize is $4,000, and as only 10000 num-
bers are offered for sale at twenty dollars
for each ticket, the chances are very fair
that somebody will draw $4,000 with
number that cost him only twenty dollars.
Who that lucky person may be remains, Of
course, to be learned after the drawing. We
hope it will be some unprotected widow or
some good man who ranks among the
toilers, that he or she may know the bless
1ngs to be derived from moderate wealth.
If you want to spend twenty dollars that
way, do so.

Mr.. Walter H. Rogers drew a terrible
picture Of a hard, cruel, selfish bigot in
describing Judge T.'G. Hunt to the Demo-
cratic convention, as man who would
sympathize with the criminal he was SEN
fencing to death, but show none whatever
for the man who differed from him in
opinion" Mr.. Hunt has done much by
his recent exhibitions of bitter prejudice
and malignant spite to destroy the good
opinions entertained for him by his fellow
citizens. Far better for him would it have
been, when rising at midnight to pen his
fierce maledictions against Governor War
moth, had he put his manuscript to more
necessary uses than to serve as a guide in
his harangue at the Opera House.

The State assessors inform US that the
returns Of capital are very few and small
this year, the tax-resisters particularly re-
fusing to perform their duty in this re-
spect. The penalty for this failure is the
risk they run that the assessors, in esti-
mating their capital, as required by law,
will exceed, perhaps, the true figures
That this is not always the case, however,
is shown by Mr.. John G. FIeming's
Congo square declaration, that he is do
ing business on a capital of fifty thousand
dollars, yet he pays taxes on four thou
sand five hundred only. The assessors
should take advantage Of such averments
as Mr.. Fleming's to correct their books.
Justice to those who pay in full as the law
directs demands this from them.

THE STATE DEBT.

| 1t is a little remarkable, that in order to
make point against the administration,
and particularly the executive, the oppo-
sition papers deem it necessary to exag-
gerate their statements. They are not
content with telling the truth, but they do
more. So, in paragraph appearing in
the Picayug of yesterday, it is asserted
that although for forty years the State
| debt of Louisiana did not exceed fifteen
millions of dollars, that the present State
administration has augmented it to sixty
millions.
Now if the writer Of the paragraph in
ques ion land which doubtless originated
in the Picayltae Office, notwithstanding its
anonymous signature), knew anything
about the condition of the State debt, he
must have known his statement was pal
pably untrue Those who gave it pub
Lefty and authorized its insertion in the
paper certainly knew it to be false If
they did not originate the deception, they
Endorsed the misstatement after it was
made. Nor is there any excuse for it. The
facts and figures are open to the examina-
ton Of any citizen who chooses to incur
the trouble. These will show precisely
what the debt is; indeed, in the Auditors
last report it is summed up as follows:
Debt for which the State is absolute
~ laDle. &22 295, T9O SO
Debt for which it is contingently
Estimate Of indebtedness incurred on
first and second mortgages for
Which the State is cOntngently
liable. Observation-Disclosures. 12245,OOO 90
Making total of............... $40, ,473 81
These are the liabilities of the State, as
shown in the Auditors report. It is the
only reliable source Of information that
we have. 1t was as open to the Picag1lnes
writer as to us, and for the statement that
he has given to the public with the in
dorsement Of that journal there is no pos
sible excuse. We can only account for it
on the hypothesis Of persistent misrepre-
sentation, which, under the calico man
agement, has been its chief distinction
Its falsehoods have been about the only
original thing about it.
1t is difficult to conceive why a journal
once respectable adopts a course which
leads to inevitable exposure, contempt
and ridicule The impression which it
produces in the first place is sure to react
with double force. Besides we really do
feel an interest in the veracity of our con
temporaries. To find one SO lost to de-
cency and propriety as to prefer falsehood
to truth, calumny to fair dealing, SANDER
to justice, is bitter humiliation to those
who appreciate with pride and regard with |
honor the pursuit Of journalism.
It is true that the injury done is COM
small, for few believe its state
ments upon any subject, but in view Of its
course every respectable journalist feels as
society does when a respectable member
forget8 his sonor and reputation, and bar
tiers the respect Of good men to wallow in
the slums Of falsehood, treachery and vice.

NATURE STRONGER THAN PREJUDICE

NATURE STRONGER THAN PREJUDICE
Judge T. G. Hunt made very natural
and just admission yesterday. He re-
joiced that slavery was abolished. 1t is
natural and just that he feels thus. 1t
is unnatural and unjust that he failed to
express these sentiments long ago. Hear
him:
/ rejoice at the abolition of slavery.
Thank God thank God there is not slave
in America. 1t is natural and Just that it
should be so. 1t is far better for US and
our children.
That's what's the matter Let Judge
Hunts and several other members chill
dren be accorded their rights Let Judge
Hunt propose one of his as a candidate for
the State at large to the Democratic con-
vention at Baltimore. Try it on, Judge.
Now is the hour and the chance
