BOSTON WILL TAKE CARE.

Outsiders are making complaint that
the Boston Musical Jubilee did not pay
expenses by one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. That is, the immediate out
lay and the immediate receipts show
difference on the wrong side to the above
amount. No account is taken Of the inn
mense expenditure Of money that the half
million Of visitors at the jubilee made in
Boston. This can not be estimated at less
than two millions Of dollars, Of which
one-fourth was profit So Boston really
made three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars by her festival, not to speak of the
name and fame she gained by having or
gained the greatest jubilee that the world
ever saw. The building in which the fes-
tival was held covered a space Of ground
about as large as that which is contained
within the following boundaries: Com
mence at the corner of St. Charles
and Gravfer, run a line to Maya,
zine, thence to Poydras, thence to
st. Charles, and thence again to
GraEier. It was six hundred feet long by
four hundred and fifty wide. No voice
could reach from one side to the other. The
eye could not distinguish from one end the
performer at the other. And yet this i'm
mense structure was crowded with people
day after day, and thousands were turned
away. People travelled thousands of
miles to participate in its wonderful per-
formanees. Kings sent their musicians to
fill its mighty depths with rousing ma
tional airs Europe was represented as
well as America in the tornado of sound.
Seventeen thousand voices united to up
lift the song of the Redeemer.
Boston viii take care of the expenses
She is city that pays her bills. Her peo-
pie are called close-fsted, but when they
go for thing they ''dern the expenses,
and they foot the bills. So we need be in
no ways annoyed by the deficit in the
treasury of the great jubilee.

THE LOUISIANA poTTov

i is foolish to suppose that any mere
party can put our State in its true position
in the Union, 1t is not politics in anv
form Of application that can be made that
viii meet our necessities. Its good GOV
eminent, both State and national Fhe
remedy, to prove efeotual, whatever ii
may be, must be consistent. 1t can not
be Democratic in one quarter and Lib
eral Repubhean in another. That which
has been the prominent feature Of our
complaint is federal intarfsrance in our
local affairs-the denial q tights gaaran-
teed to US under the Constitution the
dependence we are made to sustain to the

If Lafargue was nominated in place of
Boarman because he was better known
and more popular, why was not the same
rule applied to the nomination for Cover
nor? Mr.. McEnery has no record that
any man we can find knows anything
about. The question that prevailed after
the nominations were made, was, "Who
the d. is McEnery?" Some said he was
this and some said he was that, while
others said and believed that he was the
"blind Of Governor Warmoth. Are such
men to precede the gentlemen who have
made themselves conspicuous in the State
by some good and sensible suggestions?
Lafargue may claim an advantage over
McEnery in this that he did have some
notoriey, having been tried for combin-
Ing with a cowardly mob in breaking up
a printing Office in the town of Avoyelles
a few years ago. LafargRe was the proper
man to nominate for Governor. He.would
have squared political opinions in the.
the State by persuading lot of disreputa-
BILE rowdies to bully the man who differed
with him in opinion. We can not go back
to Lafargue yet.

"John Bracket" the ''phunny" cor
respondent of the Washington Chronicle,
gives an account Of Mr.. Greeley's DAY at
the Boston jubilee. John says: sit was a
settled thing settled in the old proverb-
that Mr.. Greeley was to have his day, and
it came, and with it the philosopher and
his little speech.
This allusion to the old proverb is sufi-
cient to satisfy ordinary minds that John
Bracket is 'brick;" yet it fails to con-
vince the friends of the Sage of Chappaqua
that the day of his greatest triumph has
come. Speaking of Mr.. Gpeeleys speech
in Boston, John becomes excessively
''phunny." He says Mr.. Greeley took a
lively interest in the press because of its
eminent and acknowledged usefulness in
some of the agricultural operations of the
farm. ''As far back as 184O," continues
this Bohemian brick, ''the cider-press was
an acknowledged power in the land"
The pressure must be great, indeed,
when the friends of President Grant re-
sort TO such yillainous punning in
order to make point But the quibbling
Of John seems to please the Chronicle, and
he is permitted to press the subject little
further.
He says: ga free press is a great insti-
tuition, especially when applied to the
manufacture of cheese.
We are inclined to think the GRANTEES
viii not regard this as just the "cheese."
They won't when they learn that the peo-
pie have determined to press out Grant
and place Greeley in the presidential
chair.

REPUBLIOAN MBETTNa IN 81. JAMEs.

REPUBLICAN, MEETING IN ST. JAMES.
There was a large Republican meeting
at Armstrong;, in St. James parish, on
Sunday. Senators Campbell and Hun
saker and Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back. from this ely, were present,
and made some lively speeches,
which elected earnest marks of ap-
prevail from the assembled multitude.
1t is the opinion Of gentlemen who were
present that st. James is not likely to
give many votes for the Baton Rouge
ticket, and will give still less for that
cooked up by Randolph, ,Lasere & Co. If
the Liberals put ticket in the field that
can be Endorsed by the Republican con
vention on the ninth of August, it will re-
ceiye 6 majority Of about eighteen hun
dred in st. James. General CampbeI's
speech on that occasion is reported in this

IF the Radical-Crant party and the
'Die-in-the-Ditch" faction are not in ALI
ance, why is it that each meets with such
hearty Communications from the other.
McEnery. and Jonas are Landed by the
Citizens Guard, while the Picqqpaae holds
Antoine. and Kellogg up as the beau ideal
Of conservative statesmen. 1t Is not often
that political opponents find occasion to
indulge in such sua7e courtesies, unless,
as is rumored, they mean, in the end, to
vote alike, in which case the united State
ticket viii be dropped, and all the local
influence adhering to it transferred. to the
Kellogg ticket. This infsrence-and it
appears reasonablein the face Of twill
account for this extraordinary intimacy
70 be complimentary when nothing can be
said by either of the other SO harsh as to
be unjust, naturally ezcites surprise, and
especially when one Of the parties is some
thing like the tricky old fox that lost his
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-16

And the Citizens Guard is very unhappy
because the Democracy has swallowed
Mr.. Greeley, Notwithstanding all the hard
things he said against them. It prints
many of these hard sayings, and is wor-
ried because we do not swear at the man
who said them. For instance, it repeats
paragraph, said to have been published
in the New York Tribune about the time
the war was raging very bitterly, to the
effect that the ''rebels would not only have
to be beaten, but they would have to re-
turn to desolated- homes to meet their
despairing wives and. children, or words
to that effect. Wei, suppose Mr.. Greeley
did say this, did he not tell the truth !?
War produces these results, and Mr.. Gree
ley told US that if we provoked war, we
must blame ourselves for the conse-
quences. But Mr.. Greeley did not desc
late single home, nor did he exult over
single unhappy confederate. His first
cry was for mercy. And this is where the
inconsistency Of the grief that prevails in
the Citizens Guard comes in. General
Grant desolated Virginia. He sent Sheri-
dan down the Shenandoah to burn the lit
tie food of the women and children. If
Greeley spoke Of sending the Southerner
home to his suffering family, he did not
burn the homes of the widow and the or
phan. We pass no opinion upon these
matters, because it would be better to for
get them. If we are to get over the war
we must forget it, as Mr.. Greeley proposes
to do. But if the friends of Mr.. Grant
want to dig it up, they must look out for
their share Of the misery. We are in ia
vor of contesting political questions upon
their own merits. We are fighting the
battle Of the future, and not the past.
Mr.. Greeley offers better hopes that Gen
eral Grant does We take him not for
what he said when the hot blood of war
stirred us to say and 10 hot things, but
for what he proposes to do hereafter. He
said harsh things. General Grant com
mitted harsh actions The latter was the
harder enemy Of the two, and what is
worse, he has kept it up longer. We pro
pose to swap him off for an easier man.

tail in trap. and then tried to persuade
his race that it had become the fashion,
and should be initiated By them. It is
true that many Of the tricks of this Gus
tomhouse party are known, but it is
equally well known that they are fruitful
of novelties of this description, and can
devise as fast as detected. It's pity,
however, that the hitherto proud and chiv-
alrons leaders Of the Democracy have con
scented TO play the tool to such men as
Packard, Antoine, Kellogg i co. The
mere idea a year ago would have been
secuted as impossible.
Butthe question arises whether a scheme
SO fimsily disguised will sustain the scru-
tiny Of the masses. To this. there is but
one possible answer. It can not. The
leaders, or pretended leaders, may submit
to it, but the honest-thinking voters viii
never yield to such an infamy.

sMessrs. Jumel and Boarman are COM

had to give pace to McEnery for the same
reason. This viii astonish Mr.. Jumel, at
least, as 1t ought to astonish Messrs. Boar
man and Williamson. Mr.. Jumel has
been known in tbs State for years, having
been placed on the Democratic ticket in
1868 almost without opposition for the
Office that he lately received a nomination
for from the Bourbons. As to the greater
popularity of bennett or the more ex-
tended reputation of Lafargue, these are
matters Of taste entirely. Some people
consider that bennett is notorious rather
than famous !; and some folks say they
never heard of Lafargue. But the Plea
