My Jerry there has left the sea
With all its luck an woe;
For who would try the sea at all,
Must try it luck orno.

How words they speak may fall
They told him blunt, he was too old,
Too slow with oar an travl,
An this is how he left the sea
An luck an woe an all.
Take any man on sea or land
Out Of his beaten way,
If he is young . will do, but then,
If he is old an gray,
A month will be year to him,
Be all 10 him you may.
He sits by me, but most he walks

astrously. The citizen who disagrees with
the Picay,ue about the propriety Of voting
may be in the right, looking at the matter
from his standpoint; and any compulsion,
such as that which the reeklessness of our
contemporary suggests, might be danger
Gus in financial or physical point of view:
Who can guarantee that the ticket which
the Ptcayeue supports is good one, or
that, if elected, it viii not sink the city
deeper than any of its predecessors have
done into trouble And if. any citizen
has solemnly suggested to himself this
problem, and can not make up his mind
to become responsible for any such mis-
fortune, why should he be posted as de-
linquent by those who are mistakenly
dragging the community down to attic
ton?
What is the difference between the Ievee
strikers, who refuse to let men work upon
their own contracts, and the newspaper
that refuses to let them stay at home from
an election that they consider a mere
scramble for Office? The mob spirit is
alike in both, and should be rebuked in
both

IN TIE SAME FIX.

The st. Louis Democrat describes the
Democratic party Of that State ina similar
condition to the Democratic party of
Louisiana, particularly in this parish and
| city Just at this time. The demoraliza-
ton of the party is represented to be fear
full in Missouri; greater than ever before
known in a political contest In fact, the
Democracy seems to be in the same fix all
over the country. In many instances the
party leaders are disheartened, while their
followers are quarreling bitterly among
themselves for the petty Offices. And the
consequence is there is-a woful lack Of en-
thusiasm in the Democratic ranks through
out the broad extent of the republic. In
this State the Democracy exhibits a dead,
cold feeling that usually precedes death.
An attempt to revive the old rallying cries
has signalIy failed, and the Democratic
Office seekers are now making reform
do service for them; but the old party is
too far gone to change from .worse to bet
ter It should have thought Of reform
twenty years age, when it had the power
to reform, and Democratic rule needed re-
forming. Now it is too late. The party
is in too feeble condition to accomplish
anything. 1t may try to revive under
promise Of reform, but the trial viii I'm
doubtedly prove fatal to all who build on
SO delusiye a hope. Besides, reform"
as party catch-word, has no good |
meaning. Oftener than otherwise it
means nothing more than de-
sire on the part Of few to have
the fms turned out and the sout8
turned in. In other words, to have
one set Of public officials supplantei
6y another set. This has been demon
strated in this city within tie past few
months. Many Of the men who have
been loudest in their d6nunciations Of
men in office, and of ofica-seekers, are
now candidates for Office. They have.
apparently, purposely disturbed the pub
ho mind and created distrust of public
oinelals for the purpose Of paving the way
to their own political promotion. This is
a very questionable feature Of popular
government, especially II such conduct
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-10-20

made out that by no possibility could
there be more than 1,750, 600 bales Of cot
ton gathered from the whole fields Of the.
country. The result shows. there were
over 100000 This year they are at it
again. Already they have settled upon
2,500,000 as the utmost amount that can
be depended upon as the cotton supply
from the Southern States for the present
year. At the same time it is conceded
that there is an average increase Of acre
age Of fully fifteen per cent, which, with
the same production per acre, would give
Us a crop of 3, 45o,0 900 bales for 1872,
without allowing for any increase on ac-
count Of better yield.
The object of all this mendacity is to
stimulate prices up to fictitious point by
acting upon the fears Of spinners. They.
in turn, care little whether cotton is fifteen
cents pound or twenty-five. They
manage to secure their profits in either
case, but the consumers pay for all this
cheating. Besides, these calculations
have been for long time annual annoy
ances, and Liverpool merchants have
come to pay little or no heed to them.
They understand the character of the au-
thors and the motives Of those who employ
them. They provide themselves with
agents to furnish accurate information
upon all matters affecting their interests,
being altogether too wise to depend upon
the hirelings III the South who are en-
ployed solely to destroy as much cotton as
they possibly can, and to make fuss
over every phase Of the weather. The
rain and the drought alike suit their pur-
pose; high winds furnish them q reason
for injuring an immense amount of cot
ton; the rust desolates the fields in some
sections, while the caterpillar and the boil
worm are made to bring up the rear of
the train of disasters, and clean the entire
fields. These tactics are employed every
year, and there is no instance on record
when the actual crop of cotton did not
greatly exceed the highest estimates of
these salaried prophets and double or
treble those Of the most mendacious. At
the present time the most disastrous ac-
counts are published in the Southern pa
pers about the cotton crop. Rust,
drought, boil worm, excessive heat, cool
weather. and all the enemies to the plant,
are mustered for duty, and yet the price of
cotton remains low with the greatest OBJ
stinacy. The reason for this is that no
one believes these cooked up reports.
They are hardly even read by men who
have driving cotton business to look
after, and it would be more to the credit
of our Southern journals If they refused
to Dnblish them.

cEsB OF TEE DISEASE.

Everybody is expected. to contribute
something to carry elections though Why
this thing should be we are not prepared

citizen who does not register and vote is

columns Of our contemporary Although
this is the smallest mob that We have been
troubled with during the season, yet it is

interests are opposed to. # this is a fee
country, which everybody. says it is, why
not let the citizen enjoy freedom in his own

can be crowned with success. The peo-
pie, regardless Of party, have to note
carefully the conduct of all men who come
before them for public Office. But they
should be more circumspect in their
choice of men, who are loudest in their
professions of love for honest men, which
is simply gentle intimation that they
are themselves honest. Such men are
very apt to set themselves up as the
proper reformers Of other mems actions
particularly if they are in public station.
There are various ways to circumvent the
public living under republican govern
ment, and bring distrust on individuals
clothed with public authority as means
of supplanting them and the most effect
ual of them is to bring discredit upon
those in authority by charging them with
the most fragrant conduct, apd then calling
for reform This is the only ground the
opposition to the Republican party has
to stand upon in this country at this time.
The Democracy have been forced TO &C
cept platform Of principles that varies so
slightly from the principles of the Repub-
ican party as to form no material. differ
ence; and yet the Republican party is
charged by its opponents with conduct
inimical to republican institutions, and
with crime sufficient, if we'll sustained, to
consign many who occupy high places I'M
der the government to a felon's place.
And this party virulency, which is apt to
assume the form Of honesty, is just what
the people have to guard against. AS ac-
tons speak louder than words they must
learn to judge men by their actions. If
man is continually denoQncing the ac-
ton Of men in public Office, Of opposite
politics, and is at the same time intrigu-
ing to obtain public place himself, and
does finally succeed in being made can
didate for public Office, it is well for the
public eye to be upon him with more than
ordinary sharpness. As rule such men
need watching, for they have two chances
Of being dishonest-one knowingly and
the other without being sensible to the
fact Sometimes prejudice Will make a
man dishonest, and sometimes selfshness
will lead him to be so. When such men
are aspirants for public Office it is well
for the people to know it.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-10-20
A LITTLE OFF THE TRUE COURSE.


The result Of yesterdays work IN the
Republican convention hardly confirms
the just expectations that have been
entertained that the best and strong
est men of our party would be Sc
lected for candidates. It is too clear to
need further demonstration that if the
Republicans put up a weak ticket it will
be beaten. But it is barely possible that
cur friends have for a moment lost sight
of this important fact Perhaps when
they meet on Monday morning they will
have the sagacity to see that they have
already dipped so low as to incur danger,
and win set about repairing any mistakes
that the wiser men in the party may point
out. Unless something Of this kind is
done, it will be necessary to delegate to
the Parish Committee the same powers of
revision that have been conferred upon
the various Democratic committees. We
hope, however, that the bad precedent of
our opponents will not have to be
followed, but that the convention
will before it adiourns be able to point to
every one Of its nominees with pride and
confidence This is not time to confer
ayors upon individuals or the representa-
tiyes Of petty local interests. Our candi-
dates. must be men who will bring
strength to the ticket in every ward and
from every interest. Unless the convention
can find such men and agree to their
nomination they will doom the party to
defeat, and darkness will overshadow
them on the fifth of November. There
are some. five or six thousand voters in
this city who stand to-day uncommitted,
but who are watching the movements of
the Republican convention. We hope the |
delegates will shape their course with the |
full consciousness that by their wisdom
they may secure these voters and VIC
tory, whereas by their folly they may
achieve disastrous defeat.

ANOTHER OBSOLETE SAYING,

We are compelled to take leave of old
sayings, from time to time, as We find
them inapplicable to modern usage. The
celebrated declaration of Calhoun that
the.Democratic party was held together
BY the cohesive power Of public patronage
was true Of the men and the times
when he made the observation. But we
find here in New Orleans that what once
vas a bond Of union has become 8 bone
Of contention, and the political followers
lat great distance) Of Calhoun and Jack
son are at swords points about the divis-
ion Of the 8poils. And this unseemly
squabble takes place before the object in
contention has been secured, or any
good prospect Of obtaining it.
This fight of the factions has also
destroyed another wise saying, as old as
solomon. 1t was this fluent proverb man
ufacturer, we believe, who instructed his
people that 'in multitude Of couns6lors
there is safety" The fact is very appa-
rent that the counselors in the Demo-
cratic party are sufficient to secure the
adoption Of the wiseSt of plans-the very
pink Of strategical combinations-but the
strength and safety to be depended upon
as the result Of 50 much and such varied
wisdom is estimated by the most sanguine
at low rate. The chances are favorable
that the whole remaining time of the cam
paign will be consumed in the fruitless at
tempt to reconcile the antagonistic inter
ests Of the six factions into which the ele-
ments opposed to the Republican party
are now divided.
The opposition is now absorbed by or
CARNATIONS known by the following titles:
The regular Democratic party,
The Liberals
The Reformers.
The independent political clubs.
T1e straight-out Democrats.
The citizens a. P. U.
The Independent Republicans
The regular Democrats alone, Of all the
above factions, are willing to invite the
flies from others into their little parlor for
the purpose of consultation. The Liber-
ais in turn refuse to hold any conference
or consultation with any party except the
Democrats. Some Of the smaller fry ex-
pect and occasionally do receive semi
official ambassadors with whom they en-
ter into discussions characterized by
much diplomacy on both sides, but sin
gularly fuitless Of results.
If Solomon were alive and in this city
he would overhaul the pro7erb above

much Of a good thing" At all events he |
would lose his reputation for wisdom if |

A SIMPLE QUESTION.

The wages of city employees, as rule,
will probably average eighty dollars per
month, which, considering the price of
warrants, is about equal to sixty-five dol
lars. Laborers on the leyee now com
mand three dollars per day, and perhaps
more, and yet the applicants at the City
Hall are as five to one against the apph-
cants for work on the leFee. The advan-
tages Of the latter are these, that the man
who works on the levee is free to have
what political notions he chooses; he knows
that he earns his money, and that his
situation is good to him SO long as he
continues to fill this condition; he knows
that he has appetite for his meals that no
money can purchase to the man at the
City Hall; he is not required to whisper
his opinions or to violate his convictions,
and he is safe in his wages every week,
and that, too, without any discount.
Then why are the applicants at the City
Hall more numerous than those on the
levee? Any fool says the proverb, can
ask questions, but it requires wise men to
answer them. Who is the wise man to
answer our question?
