This ended the defensive Association
Tor that occasion. It met to discuss taxes,
and swung off into an offensive associa-
ton, in favor of peaceable election by
force Of arms. The name OF the orator

have been given. The United States
should know who this new Jove is that

THE LAST DITCH REVIVED,

The second ward regulators, aided
and abetted by their Gallo organ in the
fourth ward, are studying the elementary
principles Of arepublican form Of govern
ment. They make an awkward be-
ginning by pretending to teach what they
are really trying to learn. But the idioms
they employ belong to foreign parts.
Their speech betrays them. These men
are not truly Republicans; they are not
at heart American citizens. The old idea
of force is the only one they appear to fully
understand. For they tell US that when
all other means fail, then they are to rush
in with tumultuous shouts and rioting,
and upturn things generally. If this
country were like rebellious parish in
Munster, or Ulster or Connaught, or Ven
dome, or some other prince ard priest
ridden section, where ignorance and
poverty are the rule, not the exception,
these revolutionists might succeed. But
American-born citizens do not ike to Join
in revolutions not originated by them
selves.
So that it is likely when AL other means
faA' these discontinued subjects will find
themselves engaging in the ''last ditch"
business. This means will fail also, for
this is government Of power. Each
vote represents man. The elections rep
resent physical battles, where armies con-
tend for supremacy, and the most numer-
Gus generally prevail in the sequel. As
men vote, SO will they fight. AS Mr..
Seward told the South in 1860, if cause
can not be won by ballots it can not be
won by bullets, for the preponderance of
physical force will be on the side CT the
largest party. 1t does not require any
horlel oratory nor imprisoned appeals to
the discontinued to prove so plain pro-
position. We conclude, therefore, that if
the second ward regulators have failed in
the 'dN other means" limited at. thew will
fail when they try the last resort which
| they threaten.

In reporting the proceedings of the Citi-
zens' Defensive Association, which met at
the Iron House, on Tchoupitoulas street.
Wednesday night, the Tines omits short
speech that was made at the close of the
meeting, and the Picayesne, while giving
the speech, fails to tell us who made it.
This is sad. That little speech was the
kernel of the nut, and the man who made
it understood better what would suit the
assemblage than all the orators who pre-
coded him. After all the speech makers
had abused the State government to the
extent of their capacity, and had pledged
themselves to resist the payment
of all sorts Of taxes, even if
it had to be done with arms,
the chairman expressed the opinion that
the United States would not put down
such a revolution of the people against
their tyrants Upon this hint the new
speaker jumped to his feet and electrified
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-04-12

1t is an amusing and yet sorrowful
sight to see men who admit that they have
neglected Or abused their political priv
heges for years, rushing into the business
OF regulating the government as if they had
al the sense and all the sagacity Of those
who have neither faltered in their observa-
tion nor left undone their duty. Men who
can not buy barrel Of -four without con-
sultlng their wives Or submitting to the
Judgment Of their merchants set them
selves up to tell the community how to
save the State It would seem that their
past mistakes ought to make them careful
about their present movements. But it
don't. So much more is the pity.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-04-12

One of the first steps that the "Citi-
zens' Defensive Association" has I'M
dertaken is to throw its friends
into the hands Of the lawyers and
the judicial officers. The tax that
these poor people will have to pay in this
respect will be about double what they
will have to pay ultimately to the State.
The men who have no taxes to resist the
payment Of can well afford to give this sort
Of advice to those who have a little prop
erty out Of which both the tax and the costs
can be made. It will be wise in the law
yers to exact pay in advance, to avoid any
necessity Or temptation for secondary re-
pudiation.

THE CITY HALL.

There is considerable anxiety expressed
in and around the hall as to the probable
disposition of the memberships and other
city appointments. 1t is understood, how
ever, that for the present no changes will
be made. No good purpose will be sub
served by the displacement of the present
incumbents at this time. In the event, how
ever. of change, the public will be duly
notified Of the fact.
! The Administrator Of Improvements has
| invited proposals for plans, with full ex-
! plantations, of pumps adapted to draining
| purposes, and capable Of superseding the
draining wheels now in use in this city.
The pumps must be capable of lifting seven
| teen feet, and the description must set
| forth the nature of the pump, its capacity
| in gallons per minute (say $4,000 gallons or
less, the cost of running, quantity of fuel
! used per hour, number of cubic feet of
water lifted seventeen feet in one hour, the
cost Of the pump erected and ready for
! work, the time required for its erection,
and any other information which may be
deemed useful to the department.
1t is to be hoped that this will result in a
selection far preferable to the present inetii-
Gent system. The one thing vitality essen
tial to New Orleans is an effective drainage.
The levee on the opposite side of the
river (seven miles recently contracted for),
is being rapidly pushed to completion. 1t
is under the personal supervision of Sur
veyor Bell. This is guarantee that every
interest Of the city viii be protected in its
construction.
The Department: Of Assessments have
hardly got regularly to work on the rolls of
for the present year. Still the business is
being rapidly brought into shape, and will
soon be reduced 10 It's usually perfect sys-
TEN.
In regard to the interest asked by the
Firemen's Charitable Association on their
unpaid claim against the city, several of
the Administrators express their willing
ness to allow them four per cent. They
claim that this Indebtedness should be
treated as other obligations of the city.
The levee dues collections for the week
ending on Saturday amounted to sSii0 l6.
The proposition OF Messrs. Daniel Ed
wards, D. c. McCan, G. De Ferret and 9TH
ers to lease the Waterworks for the term of
twenty-five years came up before the Coun-
Gil, while in committee of the whole, We'd
nesday. A final answer will be given to-
day.
These parties propose to take the Water
works just as they are, pay 100000 per an
mum rent, pay the interest on the bonds, ex-
pend $2,OO0,000 in improving the works, fur
nish the city with filtered water gratis
charge no higher water rates than are at
present exacted, and return the works, with
the improvements, to the city at the expira-
ton of the lease.
