THE POOR DEMOCRACY.

Under the influences Of well directed
anatEemas, and smarting under the stings
of the party lash, as soundly administered
in the leading Democratic journals at the
North, it is highly amusing to watch the
manner in which the leading lights Of the
Louisiana Democracy are trying to squirm
and w1iggle out Of the responsibility Of
their false position in the recent defeated
coalition. Each man points to his neigh
Dor with a view Of shifting his individual
responsibility public opinion at the
North, most justly assuming their recent
fasco to be the death knen of the Louis
lana Democracy, and none caring to ac-
cept the burden of future re-organiza-
ton. The New York World denounces
them for their selfishness. While deplor-
ing their action as lessening the effect of
national party unity, it nevertheless re-
joices at the defeat Of a measure instituted
for the aggrandizement of sectional pur-
poses. 1t further upbraids them for form
llS Ill ulICStlcll, CNCli IL
such coalitions were necessary as party
measure, which the World contends was
far from the CASE
The Boston Post, perhaps the most reli-
able Democratic journal in the Union, also
Joins in the castigation, and has no pity
for them in their distress. Altogether, the
so-called Young Reform Democracy of
Louisiana, who have assumed control Of
their party interests, stand to-day in an
unenviable light Beaten at all strategic
points, unhappy and divided among them
selves, Sinking the responsibility of de-
feat and distracted as to the future, as
sailed at all points by their friends at the
North, whose support to them should have
been everything, it may well be said they
are in a most pitiable plight, GU: Of which
no available resource is open.

SLANG LEEIuOGRAPEY,

A distinguished photographer has
sweated out and had published in the
Times the following definition, which for
its wit We submit to the readers Of the
REPUBLICAN:
t-Bagger-A = penniless advent
urer from the loyal States, where he was
ness or evil ways, who roamed about the
country seeking what he could steal or
otherwise appropriate to his own use,
usually through some official position, or
any way rather than by honest industry,
having at his first appearance little other
baggage than half empty carpet bag;
hence the name-sometimes improperly ap
piled to all new corners, but more by force

Just asLwe said. The st. Louis Times,
which is the Democratic organ that refuses
to accept the possum policy, says that
'the agitator Garter, who was paid by
Grant to break up the State government
in Louisiana, has stopped his noise, and
now merely draws his pay" Down here
there was nothing spoken of but reform
by the Democrats; but we detected and
published the truth, that they were merely
using a few disafeeted politicians to dis
tract the Republican party, in order to win
a victory for themselves in Louisiana, and
to furnish ammunition for their friends
elsewhere. All the opprobrium that the
investigating committee has fixed upon
the Customhouse faction, and through it
upon General Grant, was foreseen by the
REPUBLICAN, and the use that it would be
put to by the Democrats was foretold by
US long ago. Mr.. Casey has meddled
where he had no business and his own
humiliation and that of his patron is the
consequence. This comes of weak am
bition.

We have the assertion Of the Times that
ninety-eight out Of every hundred of Wall
ter Wheyland's supposititious constituents
swear that they voted against him, and, on
the other hand, we have the statement Of
his opponent Democrat, that Wheyland
was fairly elected. As the supposititious
constituents have never been sworn at all,
because supposititious men are clearly in
capable Of swearing under our laws; and
as the parish ought to have elected Re-
publican, being composed of large ma
jority of colored people, and as the official
returns show that this was the result, it is
plain that the Times is as indifferent to
the truth in its structures upon Wheyland's
election as it was about the money that
was paid for his funeral. This sort of pre-
variation may be profitable financially,
but it ought to be a source of annoyance
on Sunday, at least.

nCOsLITION.D

It gives us great pleasure to perceive
that the clouds which of late have OBJ
scured the political vision of the PicQy,oae
are gradually clearing away 1t no longer
staggers hopelessly in the dark, humping
its head against first one post and then an
other, pitching into all sorts Of mud holes,
and foundering helplessly in a perfect
slough OF despond. It is getting sane
again, and in yesterdays evening issue,
treats US to very sensible article On po-
litical coalitions.
The REPUBLICAN has all along held the
samesdoctrine, but in our contemporaries
benighted state it would not heed US. But
its conversion at last reminds US Of the
fact that seed planted in good Soil will
finally bring forth an abundant harvest.
1t inspires Us to persevere in Our benevolent

For the Grand Duke Alexis ball our cltl
zens are making the most extensive prepa
rations, and merchants are exhibiting their
best goods to invite purchases from those
who intend to participate in the festivities
of that gay occasion. Up town ladies will

determination they are wise.

General j. J. Reynolds, recently in
command Of the military district of Lou
isiana and Texas, is in the city, en- route to
Fort Mcpherson, Nebraska, where he has
been assigned as post commander Cen
eral Reynolds has been staunch and
steadfast friend to the Republicans of the
two States embraced in his recent COM
mand, and those of Texas tried to recog-
nize his services by electing him to the
United States Senate. But owing to a
serious blunder committed by themselves
the year before, their design was defeated,
and Morgan Hamilton became his own
successor.
General Reynolds will carry with him to
his new Western home the grateful re-
membrane Of hundreds of thousands of
the loyal people of the South.

of habit than from intention, great
many of the new corners being OF this
description.
The blank in the first line of the above
definition is just such a precise and in
structive calculation as distinguished lexi-
cographers use on all occasians, as will be
seen by reference to the lexicons made by
Webster or Walker. 1t is left there for
the purpose Of allowing the student to sup
ply any vulgarism that may suit his intel
lect.
The carpet-bagger must be penniless
and must come from a loyal State. He
can come from anywhere else and es-
cape the application, but if he is an Ameri-
can he will certainly fall under the ban.
Perhaps the definition might be improved
| if it prescribed that the adventurer must
not speak the American language cor
rectly. Then be must have been kicked out
for worthlessness at home, and he must be
| thief in his new domicil. The man who
won right to enter the South by virtue
of his services in the American army, then,
is not carpet-bagger, for he was not
kicked out of hisinative State; but unfor-
tunately, perhaps, for the photographer of
the Times, he volunteered to come South
without any hope Of an Office other than
that honorable station which loyal soldier
always aspires to fill. With these add
tons and alterations, the above contribu-
ton to lexicography will just do to be in
serted in the new and exclusive dictionary
which the Bourbons of Kentucky are pre-
pairing for the public schools of that State.
1t is submitted both in it's crude and
amended condition to the Louisville Ledger
for propagation among it's readers.

A San Francisco journal says: "The
Japanese ladies, having investigated the fe-
male attendants at the Grand Hotel, and
compared them, in their working clothes,
with the ladies whom they see upon the
streets, have concluded that the richer and
poorer classes of American women are d.
vided by physical development, and that
the wealthy classes are distinguished from
their less fortunate sisters by hump upon
the back, something after the fashion of the
dromedary. Their superstitions lead them
to believe that magic arts are used to pro-
duce the growth of this deformity upon the
person Of those whose wealth is acquired in
their later years.

"What is fame ~ is a question that has
been often asked. The answer has oeen
discovered by that estimable and amlable
gentleman, Captain Gus Richards whose
establishment, the Orleans House, at the
corner of st. Charles and Common streets,
has made him famous wherever the New
ORLEANS uapers are read The Grand Duke
las heard of Captain Gus, and 1t is iair TO
presume that we are telling no State secret
in asserting that he has made arrangements
TO visit that famous house and there ENJOY
such nice refreshments as are only COM
pounded by the polite and capable assist
ants in the Orleans House. Everybody else
visits there and they become famous, and OF
course the Grand Duke will be there.

The best testimony the Planters Banner
can bring against Governor Warmoth is
Wickliffe's statements, made at the time
he was on trial, and before he fed from the
State in disgrace. 1t is rule in courts
that prosecutors who support theirs cases
with such witnesses are to be considered as
no better than their employees.

The REPUBLICAN is not so anxious about
the death and burial of Walter Wheyland,
as the Times insists, that it will descend to
the point of classifying the facts and per-
verting the statements made by witnesses.
We have no objects to accomplish in the
matter that the truth will not serve.

Private theatricals have reached a pitch
of excellency in New York never known
before says the Mail. An amateur play
means something different from what it did
ten years ago. There are ladies and gentle
men who devote themselves to nothing else,
who act to perfection, and who are every
bit as much before the public as if their pro-
fession was the stage. Thespis is the new
society goddess.

In what has he Failed ,

The Democratic State conventions and the
Liberal Republican sore-heads and disappointed
Office-seekers very free to denounce just now
what they call the failnre, of General Grant
and tell where and in what General Grant has
failed, their utteranccs wonld be, perhaps q lit
tie more satisfactory to the people whose vote
they expect Ia receive in November.
When did General Grant fail! Not certainly
during the war. when the country was assaled
by armed rebellion in the front and treason in the
rear. Every page Of the history Of the last ten
years is blazoned with the fame Of His victories
Where did he fail Not certainly ut Vicksbmrg
mt DonelsOn; in the Wilderness; in the Peters
burg trenches; before the fortifcations Of Rich
mondf r
Where during the last three years, since he has
been elevated to the first office in the gift of the
people, has he failedf Has he failed to collect
the revenuef to reduce taxation to keep peace
at home and abroadf to restore every State TO its
constitutional relations to the Unionf Under
his administration the country has known great
and marvellous prosperity. The republic Ia to-
day greater and more powerful than ever il was.
Yes, General Grant has failed In thing-tO
satisfy the political cormOranfs who measure
the snccess of every administration by the
amount Of patronage il gives them. Gen. Grant
has failed to please Mr.. Fenton in New York. for
the reason that he would not allow him to farm
out the Federal offices to his Tammany Repubi-
can adherents. He has failed to satisfy Mr..
Schurz because he turned ont few posmasters
In Missouri. He has failed to satisfy Mr.. Trum-
hull for somewhat similar reasons. And on
with others.
Grants failures have been the failnres of
Washington, of jackson, of Lincoln, of every
President We ever had, having their origin solely
in the greed Of politicians. The people, however,
care very little abont these things. and will give
General Grant the Endorsement that they have
always given to every true and tried faithful pub
lie servant.

Another Sale.

The Fort Scott Monitor, as intimated some
weeks ago, has topped around, and hoistcd tho
Greeley flag. The paper has nominally changed
ownership; but those who are presumed to know
assert that there has really been no change Tho
paper was, and still is, owned by George A. Craw'
ford. Crawford came to Kansas Buchanan Dem
ocrat. The first he was ever heard Of by the peo
pie of the State at large, was in 1851, when he
came out q Republican, and o candidate for Gov
ernor, az the same time. He was the man selec.
ted by Lane for Governor, when there was nova
cancy, in order to force ont Gov. Robinson when
but half his term was expired. From that time,
he was a candidate for Governor at every election,
up to 1853. Then he formed coalition with
Pom-roy, for the United States Senate; but some
how the quill burst, and he has for a year been
fighting PoEeroy most bitterly. He aspires to
the United States Senate, and is said to be almost
insane upon the subject His ostensible sale OF
the Monitor, is for the purpose of making the ke-
pubIicais believe that he has no sympathy with
the Greeley movement; but If, through some mys-
terious dispensation of Providence, that party
should carry the State, Crawford would come out
from behind the curtain, and proclaim that he
was directing the machine all the while. But he
cannot deceive the Republicans. They hold him
responsible for the change in the Monitor, and for
the capital that is being made over another prom
ineut Republican paper coming out for Greeley.
The thing was forcshadowed too long before hand;
and even If the sale is bona Jfde, he seemed sud-
denly to be in extraordinary haste 70 close the
bargain, and to give the advantages to the Gree
ley party, when Republicans were negotiating for
the purchase.
But the Republicans are starting another pa
per ut Fort Scott and things will go on as before
notwithstanding Crawford's little strategic move
ment with his Monitor.
