BROKEN PROMISES,

A stereotyped expression prevails in
the Democratic convention that Gov
ernor Warmoth has violated every pledge
lie ever made. If some Of the men who
make use of this assertion will mention
the pledge Governor Warmoth has broken,
we are willing to wager that the explana-
ton will justify the fact. For instance,
suppose the Governor promised to make
Mr. Hunt Judge, which, however, he
never did, the engagement must have been
conditioned on the creation of the Office
by the Legislature. If the condition failed,
the promise came to naught as a conse-
quence, and not through any infdelity to
his word on the part Of the Governor.
Then, again, if the promise was
made under misunderstanding as
to the fitness of Mr.. Hunt, which
is now rather painfully apparent,
the Governor would have been justi-
fed in receding from his promise, since
his oath of Office, which was prior obi
cation, stood in the way of its redemption.
Governor Warmoth promised to appoint
certain parties to Office that we know of,
and afterward abandoned his promise, be-
cause he discovered, after he had entered
into the promise, that the men were
unfit to be trusted with the posi-
tions which they sought. He is the
custodian Of these appointments, not tn
owner. If be intimates Partially for
men or measures to-day, that is no
reason why he should adhere to his par
tialities after he has discovered that they
are not what he thought they were. The
interest of the public is paramount to his
private inclinations in many respects, and
because he has not treated the agencies OF
the people as selfish aspirants thought he
should, is that reason why the people
should accuse him Of betraying his
promises? A little reason prieks all these
bubbles. Disappointed ambition has more
to do with the accusations that are made
against Governor Warmoth than patriot
ism has, and the State should champion
the man who has protected lis interests
rather than espouse the quarrel Of the
ignoble aspirant whose unftness defeated
his aspirations.
At all events, we should like to have the
men who pirate about broken pledges as
they pirate about bargains and corrup-
tons, put their facts before the people, in
order that the public may judge Of the
merits of the case fully and fairly. Per-
haps it may come out that the promise
was coupled with condition that never
came to pass, or that the Governor was
bound in honor to disregard it. Come
forward, gentlemen, with your broken
promises, and let Us see what the fracture
looks like

A MODEL RBFORMER.

1t is matter Of profound regret that
occasionally those whom we have been
accustomed to admire as examples of pat
riotism, honor and devotion to principles,
fall from their high state and stand re-
vealed to their deluded followers as only
ordinary mortals, alive to the infrmities
of human nature and keenly sensitive to
self-interest. Such a person, We under
stand, is Mr.. J. D. Hill, at present mem
Der of the Reform convention, and chair
man Of the committee of conference. 1t
is said of this gentleman that, oppressed
with the idea of heavy taxes, and unwill-
ing to sacrifice SO much ''ready money as
the ordinary assessment upon his great
wealth amounted to, and conceiving no
other plan practicable, he induced clerk
in the First District assessors Office to
surreptitiously reduce his own assessment
and that Of the late John Davidson over a
hundred thousand dollars, which reduced
his taxes about twelve hundred dollars.
This amount he and the clerk divided be-
tween them, as the clerk ayers he is ready
to make affidavit to- At all events, he can
be produced and confronted with Mr.. Hill,
should the latter choose to deny it. The
transaction was found out and commu-
nicated to Governor Warmoth, who or
dered the delinquent clerk to turn over his
share of the proceeds to the Charity Hos
pital, and the original assessment to be
restored on the assessment rolls.
These are facts the proof of which we

The Picqyue is in the bribery business
just now, and the paper and the business
agree remarkably well together. It con-
victs ITSELF beyond all cavil, of having adj
vocated the virtue of bribery and the pro-
priety thereof; for it advised the Demo-
cratic party to do the very thing which it
says amounted to an attempt to bride
when done by Governor Warmoth. If it
is bribery for US to say that the Democrats
must ally themselves with Governor War
moth, it is certainly bribery for the Plea
ylne to say that the Democrats must ally
themselves with the Customhouse faction
The difference is just this: that we deny the
viciousness of our offer, while the Picaytne
admits that its offer is degrading by charg-
ing ours with being so; As thus, we may
say that it is proper to save the State by
the fusion of the Liberal Republicans and
the Democrats, which we honestly affirm
The safety Of the State, which we urge as
a reason for the fusion, is the bride which
we Differ to the Democrats, according to
the ethics of the Pieaytae. If We make
this offer dishonesty, or if we were to sub
stitute another condition which was dis
honest, then the charge Of bribery would
be established, and we might be held as
guilty of gross immortality. 1t IS the in
tent of the offer that constitutes the crime
As we had no unlawful or improper design
in suggesting what we did, but rather an
elevated political purpose, the honesty of
our motives relieves US from the turpitude
involved in an attempt to bride. The case
is entirely different with the Picayanae.
That paper declares that what we did
amounted to bribery, and then, having
fixed the status of an act as being grossly
immoral and criminal, it directly proceeds
to do the very same thing. 1t is just as
bad to tell the Democrats that they must
affiliate with General Grant as it is to tell
them they must affiliate with Governor
Warmoth; and the paper that says the lat
ter suggestion is bribery conviets itself of
its own charge when it advocates the for
mer. Evidently, then. the Picaylne, in its
wrestling match with bribery, is only con-
tending with its own child.
Having deliberately admitted that twas
engaged in an effort to bride the Demo
Gratis into an utilization with the Custom
house faction, its victims can see the posi-
ton they are likely to descend into if they
assent to any terms that the Picayune may
suggest. 1t has insulted the Democrats
by its insinuations, if we can Iegitimately
admit that the offer of a knave can ever be
construed into an offense.

Mr.. Sterling, of East FeIiciana, spoke
squarely and to the point in the State Re
form Convention. He is planter, has
not held Office and does not seek any.
From this standpoint he said that his IN

Warmoth in redeeming the State He
had heard great many charges made
against the Governor, but as none of them
had been proved, he had seen no reason to
change his intentions. MIR Sterling is

The Picayune declares that the shouts
and Kisses with which the proceedings of
the Democratic convention are SO con-
stantly enlivened come from Metropolitan
police in citizens clothes. Now, as the
greater part Of these disturbances originate
in the parquette, which is reserved ex-
clusively for delegates, the inference is
plain that these police are Democrats, and
are members of the convention. We think
charges should be preferred against them
at once, that they may be dismissed from
the fat places they hold under an ''infa-
nous" government.

that Marshal Packard and the Picqynae
both warmly advocate the propriety Of the
Reform convention making a full State
ticket without consulting or combining
with any other political organization Mr..
Packard thinks this the proper course for
the Reformers because the Democrats and
Liberal Republicans would have to follow
suit, and thus win for his faction the State
government by plurality vote. The Pic

hopes Of the Grant clique shall be realized.

One Of the most impudent as well as
groundless charges is made by the Plea
yune in attempting to put at the door of
Liberal Republicans the disgraceful indie
cencies that are practiced in the galleries
of the Opera House during the session of
the Democratic convention. The inces-
SAINT disturbances were made by the
claquers of the Democratic party. Any
Republicans Of whom we have any knowl-
edge would be ashamed of anything
of the sort. Nor was it done by the po-
lice. The profound sentiment of admira-
ton for Governor Warmoth so prevalent
among all classes Of the people is the true
reason for the partiality shown for him,
both inside and out Of the convention.
The people are for him, and with their
favor he can afford to despise the puny
efforts of ambitious politicians to defeat
him.
