DICTATI0E.

In a carefully prepared article, as if fore
seeing the disastrous consequences that
are to ensue, the Bee cndeavors to excuse
the joint committees Of the Reform and
Democratic parties in their rejection of
the plan Of compromise submitted for
their consideration by the Liberal Repub-
ican committees. It assumes that this
plan was dictatorial in its character, and
for that reason it was put aside. The Bee
does not pretend that it did not contain
sound wisdom, and is, in fact, the true
solution of our political difficulties. But
the offer was not voluntary movement on
the part of the Liberals. They were in
vited to make it by the joint committees
Of the opposition factions. As tire Bee
very justly observes, as soon as this invi-
tation was known, ..'AIessrs. E. North Gull
lon, J. NJ. Dirrhammer John B. Robert
son and James Longstreet, Of the Liberal
Republican State Committee, Daniel w.
Adams, P. O. Hebert, D. B. Penn, Jack
Wheaton and T. p Rareshide, executive
committee Of the ratification meeting at
the St Charles Hotel and also Messrs. J.
Hassinger, William P Gerard, George
Forster Louis Schwarz and George Stro-
meyer, Of the German Liberal Republican
committee, made haste to submit a pro-
position to the joint committee"
1t was in effect tile practical realization
of all the advantages for which these peo-
pie are pretending to struggle It put in
simple and plain language the vital prin-
c;ple for which all are contending that
is a correction Of political abuses. It
very properly required that the delegates
to the Baltimore convention should in
dorse the Cincinnati nominees and that
State officers should be selected by a new
convention mutually representing the pref
erences of the three coalescing organiza-
tons.
Tins was proper and fair enough. We
confess an inability to perceive any indi-
cation OF a dictatorial spirit in this. But
the Bee says that the Liberal Republicans
should have offered their cooperation in
more modest form. They should have
not forgotten that their party was of recent
origin, and that they were consulting with
the representatives of parties as old as the
Union. Hence, argues the Bee, their

SIMPLY EXPLANATORY.

Judge Egan yesterday called attention
to the fact that the REPUBLICAN, declared
the conference committees Of the Demo
cratic and Reform conventions to be
packed body. His explanation of the
proceedings does not incline US to a change
Of opinion
Both lIr. Williamson and EIr. Head
were committed virtually to Grant as
against Greeley before the conventions as
sembled. Have they given any evidence
Of change in sentiment since? Do their
selections Of conference committee mem
bers show it? We assert not; and despite
the sensible and judicious minority report
to the Democratic convention, we reassert
it was a packed committee. In rejecting
the Liberals, the Germans, and the Gree
ley-Brown committee, the conventions
showed concIusively that they supported
the idea Of the Picapule to give the State
to Grant by a plurality vote. In nomi-
mating a ticket when the convention was
disorganized, and many members had re-
tired, they confirmed the suspicion that
the Grant influences would prevail If
they can stand it. we shall not long have
cause to complain.
To show that we have just grounds for
our assertions, we state First, that the
president Of the Reform convention, after
being instructed to put the vote for ratif-
cation Of the nominations by parishes, re-
fused to comply with the order Of the con
vention, and calling for the affirmative
only, declared the ratification unanimous,
while a strong minority were anxious to
make themselves heard. Second, that
the committees falsifed their report in
spirit if not in letter, by conveying to
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-09

their respective bodies the idea that Gov
ernor Warmoth and his friends had de-
manded certain places for certain men.
When brought to account, too late for
remedy, Nessrs. 3IcCon and Egan had to
admit this fact, but excused themselves on
the ground that they heard such a
rumor or report Why did they not give,
if they desired to be impartial, all the
rumors which came to their knowledge.
Were not 1Iessrs John Fleming and
Moses Greenwood willing to send Gov
ernor Warmoth to the United States Sen
ate? Did not Mr. Egan likewise so ex-
press himself? And were not these IN
official statements as worthy to be
embodied in the committees report as
that Of some unknown individual whose
name even seems to have been forgotten
by those who were ready enough to act
on his alleged statements?
We especially desire to impress upon
all these gentlemen who are making up
their cosy political beds, that they do
not worry US beyond few regrets for
We do not now see the way
to speedily realize. Our path is likely to
prove far less thorny than theirs.

proposition should have been submitted
without any conditions. Certainly, this
assumption IS complacent, if not impu-
dent.
How old is the Reform party? The
Liberal Republicans gave birth to it. Il
Is IN fact sort Of bastard progeny, which,
not being properly corrected and re-
strained, has gone off into evil ways The
Democratic is an old organization, we
admit. So old as to be in its dotage,
etfete, helpless and obstinate. The Libe-
raj Republicans would have infused new
yigor into it, and applied a wise and
salutary corrective to the impracticabIe
enthusiasm Of the Reformers.
It is well understood fact that united
the Democrats and reformers do not have
on their side majority of the people
Rather than see the State going that way,
the Republican party would unite notwith-
standing their apparently insuferable diff
culties. In other words the Republicans
prefer bad Republican administration to
a worse government by Democrats The
Liberal Republican organization have a
majority on their side They are strong
enough to carry the State against the
opposition Of Democrats, Reformers and
Grant Republicans. They do not merely
hold in their hands the balance Of power.
They represent the strength Of the State.
Their willingness to coalesce with the Re
form and Democratic parties was attribu-
table to the apparent identity Of purpose
with them all. 1t proceeded from no con-
sciousness Of inferiority in numbers Vic
tory secured by the overwhelming odds
such coalition would have occasioned,
would have been a political triumph calcu-
lated in itself to inspire enthusiasm. This
was the only reason for it.
It would still be the better way. But
the Liberal Republicans are no petitioners
for a coalition. They mean to carry the
conscious Of being able to do it, |
and throw their flag to the breeze defiant
Of all opposition.

ATTACKING THE AGnnsER-

General Logan, who was at one time
opposed to General Grants denomination.
descended from the position of a patriot
when he characterized Charles Summers
speech against the President as a "de-
iberate, malignant and cruel attack -"
That Senator Summers arraignment of
General Grant was deliberate, he himself
admits, for he said at the time of its de-
livery, that nothing but the Presi-
dent'ssdemand for a denomination could
have induced him to make the exposure
that he did. That it was not malignant.
is attested by the entire absence Of this
quality from its composition and from the
nature Of the speaker. If to tell the truth
is to be malignant, then the Bible is the
most venomous volume that was ever. put
into the hands of mankind. If Mr.. Sum
ner believed what he said, which no hon
est man doubts that he did, it was his
duty to make the speech that be did, and
if there was any malignity IL the remarks,
they cannot be attributed to the man who
related the facts, but to the facts them
selves and to their author. General Grant
was malignant to himself in doing what
he did. If his conduct has been such
that it cannot bear ventilation, he is to
blame, and not the Senator who exposed
him. As to the cruelty Of the arraign-
ment, that is a question of propriety,
about which mankind will differ. It nav
have been cruel to the President to make
public his offenses but it would have been
a greater cruelty to the people to have left
them in ignorance of the weakness and
Of a candidate for. their favors
If it has come to pass that we must not
discuss the merits Of our officers. the
country is likely to suffer great damage in
her political government. If such man
as John A. Logan can consent to be silent
when his convictions are strong that he
should speak, we are either very much de-
or we are in a critical condition
in some respect that the people know
nothing about DIr. Sumner only told
what he believed to be the truth, and he !
told it for good purpose. That excuses
him for all that he said. No man in his
position can do less, and no man should be |
required to do more. Ifwhat he said was
not true, let those who know to the con-
-rary publish the testimony to establish |
5he innocence Of the accused The people |
constitute the jury, and they are willing
10 pass an honest judgment on the case. |
General Logan's answer was not defense
If the President but it was a cIaptrap as
5ault upon the prosecutor. This is a
method that shrewd lawyers adopt when
hey defend weak cases.

The Bee, which was a Wing paper up to
the time it became a Secession organ, says
that the Democratic party has a record as
old as the Union and principles as true as
any axioms in mathematics. If this is so
was not the Bee in error when it opposed
the Democracy? And if it was capable of
error one time is it not liable to the sus-
piciOn Of weakness now? As to the prin-
ciples that are 50 exactly right, we cannot
undertake to express an opinion about
them, since it has been so long since the
Democrats announced any, that both our
selves and they have forgotten them.
VIII the Bee tell US whether it is in favor
Of a national bank, protective tariff, in
ternal Improvements, the constitutional
amendments, the civil rights bill, or
whether it is against these measures. 1t
is true some Of these questions are old.
but then the Bee is old, too, and it ought
to be able to discover its own standing
in regard to these automatic principles.

NO NOMINATIONS,

There were no nominations made by
the S ate Reform Convention, as a great
many seem to think. A number Of names
were postulated as the choice Of
the convention, but the closing resolu-
ton, offered by delegate whose name is
not given in ana Of the published reports,
submitting determinations to the ratifea-
ton of the Democratic State Convention,
was carried, which leaves the question Of
candidates just where it was when the
convention met. If the Democrats do not
ratify the nominees, then the nominations
fail, with the failure Of the condition sub
sequent The Picapme, as usual, has
gone off half cooked on this matter
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-09

The finances Of the Picay7ae must be
running at very low ebb when they re-
sort to such expedients as those adopted
Friday night to dispose of an extra. The
agreement of the conference committees of
the two conventions was announced by
the newsbOys, running through the streets
Of the city, "Picaylne, extra! Full account
of the execution! Governor Warmoth
killed." Conscious that the simple an
nouncement Of the fact Of the committees
agreeing would excite no interest, they re-
sorted to an expedient that the people
would regard as their greatest calamity
the death Of their heroic young Governor,
statesman and politician. Had the de-
vice been adopted by journal of any re-
spectability, it would excite universal con
tempt, since the sale of their worthless
extras under pretences as false as this one,
is lower than common larceny. Nickels
are certainly in demand at the Picq2nme
office when such devices are resorted to
to obtain them

RFPUBLTcAN PRoGRBSs IN PPANnF.


NJ. Theirs declares that he intends to re-
main as President Of France until he has
founded republic. He says that he will
not resign again under any pressure that
the Assembly may bring against him, but
that he will hold on to his Office by any
! and every means that skill and talent can
suggest or energy assert. To the Left he
will grant compulsory education, to the
Right Centre he will yield the tariff and to
the extreme Republicans he will even
grant a separation of Church and State if
he can not successfully resist it. If the
Assembly quarrels with him he will dis
miss his ministers. In fact, he intends to
yield where he can not defend. As Richie
lieu said, "Whele the lions skin falls short
the fox's skin must exc it out" This is
good platform for a republican President
to occupy that he will contend for what
he thinks proper until he is defeated, and
being overcome, then yield to the unmis-
taxable desire of the people, The man
who agrees to do less than this is dena-
gogue, since he makes a voluntary surren-
der of his own convictions before they
have been demonstrated to be wrong.
Our idea is that N. Theirs should be
willing advocate Of the separation of the
Church from the State; but as we are not
conversant with all the circumstances,
perhaps NJ. Theirs is right in
his attitude on this subject. At
last his opposition will prevent precipitate
action, and perhaps this is why he resists
the movements. Compulsory education,
such as has been suggested by the Left,
ought to be adopted in France but II. |
Theirs may have sufficient reasons to JUS
tify himself in attempting to defeat its en-
fOrcement at this time. His main purpose |
seems to be SO sensible and patriotic that
we are ready to trust his minor purposes,
for the establishment of the republic may
depend upon keeping quiet about small
matters until the main point has been
gained. With a republic securely founded,
all the other incidents follow as a matter
Of course. There can be no opposition to
education, no alliance between the Church
and the State, when once the people
govern themselves and each citizen is
willing to accept equality and freedom Of
the others. So that out Of the tremendous
evil that the German war inflicted on
France, great good is likely to spring,
Just as vast benefits resulted to the United
States out Of the rebellion, which over
threw slavery and made the Union insepa-
-able.
