HONESTY.

Next to harmony the demand for hon.
esty is the prevailing want Of the multi
tudinous conventions that are now aston
ishing the city. Every delegate is in
search of an honest man to nominate for
some Office of profit, the greater the profit
the intenser the desire. The first point is
harmony, which means that the opposite
party must trade off his candidate for
some other mans candidate, or give him
q subordinate position and half the steal
ings, and this being achieved, the next
point is to secure an honest, man if half a
score of honest aspirants have to be sacri-
feed to obtain him. A delegate in one
Of the city conventions was somewhat dis
comfted on Monday, at being sandwiched
in between two notorious prison birds.
They were incessant in their demands for
honesty, but their eyes seemed to be
actively engaged in surveying the pockets
OF the members, while their tongues were
rafting down a shower Of demands for
men OF honor and integrity. The unfor-
tunate delegate between them, who wore
4 fine gold chain, and had responsible
oocketbook upon him, did not even find

The Shreveport Times, which IS in the
main, very fair Democratic paper, and
conducted with marked ability, does moi
seem to understand the exact position Of
REPUBLICAN. If it had read our paper
carefully for the past six months, it would
not have found it necessary to write and
publish the following paragraph:
| Since the fusion ticket was formed the
position of the New Orleans REPUBLICAN
has been somewhat an anomalous one, and
reminds us muchly OF the erratic course of
the Picdyot2le after its purchase by the Joint
stock company. This halfway policy is
not at all becoming to the REPUBLICAN,
which must be either pronounced or moth
ing. We would much like to see it dealing
such trenchant blows as 1t can deliver upon
the Kellogg party, instead Of sulking. like
Achilles III his tent.
While We were one Of the original sup
porters Of reform, we always insisted upon
obtaining that much desired object in the
proper manner. Such abuses as we saw
had crept into the body polite can easily
be corrected without abolishing Repub-
fcan principles. We never for one mo-
ment contemplated the necessity for
Louisiana to relapse into Democracy, for
that would be return to the usages which
were the first great cause of all our
troubles. We were for reform within the
Republican party, iRwhich work we sought
the assistance Of all good men in The
Democratic parity But 3hep we asked
for assistants, we did not mean leaders,
We did NOT desire % Democratic captain
and crew for the ship Of State such as
fusion has offered US. We prefer Repub-
icans at all times and under all circume
stances to Democrats, and will never cone
sent 20 undo the good ~ork tbat has been
accomplished within che past four
years. That the cost has been
excessive is due, noe SO much to
those engaged in the work as to those Who
did everything in their power to obstruct
and defeat it. This is plain proposition
to those who are familiar with the history
Of the State, We are bound by every con
5ideration Of honor and principle to stand
by this work and by all those who stand
by it. We have, therefore, no stalwart or
other hostile blows for the Kellogg party,
or they are Republicans. and our political |
friends The fusionists carefully excluded |
such from the influential places upon their
icket and hence we can have no part or
OF with them. Their interests are not |
'urs; their ideas and principles are hostile
o ours; they made their nominations, |
heir trades and their combinations with
ut consulting US, and they must succeed,
they can, without our help. In the
aeantime, we shall not suIk idly in our
ent, even if We do not have the good for
lne to slay the Trojan Hector. and thus
chieve the honor of the great victory.
We are opposed to the Democratic in
uence first, last, and all the time.

CAUTION TO CANDIDATES.

1t is safe to predict that at the end Of
one year from the date of the next city
election, half the men who will be elected
to Office in this city will be disguised with
themselves and their positions. Public Of
flee, which is always more captivating
when being pursued than when being en-
joyed, will entail very onerous duties dur
ing the next two years, for the people are
d1}Qt only eross-grained upon the subject,
but they are Tigilant and inquisitive. In
fact, the community is really too poor to
pay anything like what it has paid during
the last four years, and with the settlement
OF the "nigger question, which will take
place after the next election, the constitu-
ents will quarrel about their tax bills, in
stead Of quarreling as to whether negroes
shall vote or not The hundreds of poIit-
ical aspirants might just as we'll bear this
in mind, that they will have an exacting
set Of masters during the next term, and
their pay will be fought about until it is
reduced to reasonable limits and is earned
by adequate labor Both white and black
will join in demanding economy and re-
form, and when the people unite to enforce
'his doctrine they will astonish the men
who preach that doctrine and practice an.
otheS with some Fery unpleasant sesgIts.

CHARLES L. 6. DUPUY, Cashier.

The Board OF Directors of the State National
Bank, duly AUTHORIZED by an affirmative vote OF
majority of the stockholders, have resolved to
adopt the mutual system in the disposition Of the
earnings of the bank, On and after the first of
October, 1872.
Dividends of earnings viii be made quarterly
on the last days Of December, March, June and
September.
Stockholders will receive quarterly dividends of
two and half per cent, after carrying ten per
cent of net earnings to surplus fuRd as provided
by law. The balance of earnings will be divided
pro rata between depositors on their daily bal
ances and stockholders on the amount of capital
stock.
The system commends itself to depositors as
well as to stockholders.
To depositors it is bat just equivalent for their
good will and patronage, which produces in
creased profits to stockholders.
The statement published above shows the con
dition of the bank after passing to dividend ac-
count two and half per cent for the past three
months profits, and leaving the premium on it's
United States bonds at ten Per cent, and reserve
funds, with credit of forty.two thousand dollars.
