AGAIN RISES To EXPLAIN.

The Ptcayune is getting to be simply
uncomfortable even to the old fossils who
have for quarter Of a century looked
upon it as near akin to the Gospel. Hard
ly statement it makes can now be ac-
cepted as its real belief and true position
until an edition or two of subsequent date
without denial is permitted to be printed
We have called attention to several of its
glazing inconsistencies Ito draw it mild)
Of late, and here is another that should
prove to its readers that truth is certainly
not aimed at in its political illusions.
In speaking Of the preliminaries to the
Last Ditch turnout of Saturday last, it
says
At an early hour large body of Metro
polItan Police were massed at the junction
of St. Charles and Canal streets but for
what purpose can only be conjectured. 1t
was understood to mean intimidation. On
the occasion of the Liberal procession there
was nothing of the kind. fit was intended
thereby to intimidate, the purpose failed
The Pjcayune only, Of all those who wit
messed the regulators procession, charged
or suspected the police Of unworthy mo-
tives. Exactly how much or little basis
that pretentious Journal had for its in
furious insinuations may be judged by its
customary retraction and apology which
appeared in the next issue:
In the account of the great Democratic
tOrchGght procession, published in the
PjcGylr2te on Sunday morning, alIusiOn was
made to the massing of q considerable
police force at the junction Of Canal and
st. Charles streets. The aIlusion was
purely in a hypothetical way, but since
then we have been informed the DISPOSE
ton Of the force alluded to was at the re-
quest of the Democratic committee of
arrangements and not for any purpose of
intimidation. 1t is stated on proper author
ity that the Chief of Police rendered con-
siderable service to the marshals of the
procession in preserving order and prevent
ing confusion. It is a matter of pleasure
to US to be able to give this note Of ex-
PLANTATION, and thereby exonerate Super
intendent Badger from all imputations of
improper conduct.
Such utter disregard of Justice
such malicious and repeated attempts to
bring odium and distrust upon men who
are striving to honestly and impartially
discharge difficult duties, must result
finally in loss Of the public confidence,
which the utterer stamps itself unworthy
to possess.

THE MUNICIPAL TROUBLES.

The difficulties at the City Hall show no
Indications of an amicabIe solution.
Mayor Flanders still has under investiga-
ton the pay rolls Of the Department of
Improvements. 1t was understood, how
ever, that up to yesterday evening he had
found but twenty names which he thought
improperly on the rolls. These will be
submitted to the Council to-day for some
sort of action. It is strange, if this be
the case, that the Mayor does not order
those really at work to be paid No good
purpose can be subserved by withhold
ing the pay Of those who have earned
their wages Indeed, a great deal of
suffering has already been occasioned by
it.
It seems that the eH1etGe has had q very
damaging effect upon the municipal credit.
Certificates of Indebtedness have gone
down, until they are now worth scarcely
half their face value in the market. There
is no need Of this inasmuch as they rarely
run more than two or three months until
paid in full. In proof of this a certificate
of two or three months standing is diff
cult to find on the market at any price
And in view Of this, it was always sur
prising they did not bring better price
But some combination with brokers at the
"HalI' always kept them down. This last
measure has done more to injure the
municipal credit than anything else
Even brokers are afraid Of certificates,
and the few laborers that have been paid
find it impossible to dispose Of their GER
tifcates at anything but ruinous rates.
A majority Of the Administrators hold
that the Mayor is solely responsible for
this condition of things If he had objec-
tons to make Of the character he'has adj
vanced it should have been done in exec
utive session. The evil could then have
been corrected without injury to the
finances. The laborers retained on the
pay rolls could have got their pay without
mourning the present heavy discount.
The question now agitated is as to the
propriety of holding the Mayor officially
responsible for. this condition Of things. |
It can only be done by impeachment If |
he has deliberately struck blow at the
citys credit for political purposes, it |
ceases to be question of propriety, and |
becomes one Of duty. That, however, is
for the Administrators, with all the facts
and circumstances before them, to deter
mine

he considers unjust. for he has the public
records before him and can fully inform
himself. He did not intend to do this
when he set out on his crusade against the
credit Of the State. He aimed to bring
ruin upon ALL for it is ruin to men to have
their securities attacked in this way by
political brawlers. Verify, McEnery is a
big thing for Carondelet street with his de-
structive ideas, and verify, he is a curse to
the State whose pighted faith he assails in
this wholesale fashion.
The Liberty alluded to in the Demo-
cratic illumination is the liberty Of white
men to rule negroes and the liberty to be
dishonest This is the best definition we
can give to it.

, Colonel McEnery and General Jonas
rode in carriage in the ''what-do-you-
can-it procession, " on Saturday night, be-
hind a banner that declared in favor of
Republication" and :'White Supremacy.

AS there are about ten thousand more
colored people in Louisiana than there are
whites, why would it not be as fair in
them to declare for ''bIack supremacy" as
it is for the minority to declare for ''white
supremacy" Or does the old Democratic
dogma that negroes have no rights that
white people are bound to respect" pre-
clude any such suggestion as this? Still
further. As there is a majority of colored
people, and as there about forty thousand
white people who do not believain the de-
mand for. ''white supremacy, how does
the faction that follows the fortunes of
Jonas and McEnery expect to esta blish its
supremacy? 1t is not even supported by
its own color, in its present preposterous
position.

PULLING OFF A MASK,

One Of the illuminated boxes in the
"What Do You Call 1t Procession on
Saturday night presented such an extraor-
binary amount of nonsense. or wickedness
in its declarations that we must either
conclude the men who carried it either
desired to make fun Of the crowd they
were in, or they did not know what they
wanted themselves. Just see what signs
they marched under:
JONAS. AND MENERY.
REPUTATION.
WHITE SUPREMACY.
THIS IS LIBERTY.
GREELEY AND BROWN.
That is to say it is liberty to put the
white man over the negro. What assent
is this expected to obtain from the col
ored people? How dare these men to
couple Mr.. Greeley's name with any such
injustice as this? How dare they put
Gratz Browns name on any such stand
ard? How dare they DO this and pretend
even to be Democrats when the Baltimore
convention, of their own party, declared
that the negroes were entitled to and
should be upheld in every right that the
white men are invested with The Dem
ocratic State Convention made the same
announcement, and yet a procession that
pretended to represent Greeley and Brown,
the Baltimore convention, the Louisiana
State convention and the Lasere and Ran
dolph chuck-a-luck convention sets out in
the street that it neither respects Greeley
and Brown nor any other Democratic as
semblage in the matter of allowing col
ored people their freedom.
And still further, what has liberty to do
with repudiation? Where did the pro
cessiop of Saturday find any right to an
nounce that dishonesty was part OF the
settled politics Of the State? .0IcEnery
has had the efrontery to strike a blow at
the credit Of the State by declaring that |
-he intends, in the event Of his election, to /
plumber innocent parties because wicked |
men have done dishonest deeds Nc
Enerys proclamation Of Reputation Is
bold dishonesty and nothing else. He /
aims his blow at the credit Of the State
and not at the bad debt, for he goes for
repadiation without telling Us what
he intends to rapudiate. This puts the
public in doubt as to every security
aHoat It is general and not specific, and
the holder of any bond may well
feel alarmed at the prospect that
MS security is unsafe from the
speculations Of this demoralized Office
hunter. MeEnery can tell now as we'll as
after the election what portion Of the debt

the elements opposed to Grant, which it
asserts will be satisfactory to itself and

each Office, shake them up, and make the
selections by lot Let McEnery, Jonas Il
co. at once signify their acceptance Of the
plan, that all may be assured 1t is. not
Picay1tne vagary for which it will apologize
within forty-eight hours, This is rendered
more essential by the fact that their organ
has taken late but sudden fit of yirtuous
antagonism to the Louisiana Lottery; yet,

make ticket by infringing it's chartered
rights. We will have more to say on the
proposition when the united State candi-
dates and Charley Howard announce their
assent. If the latter is willing, why not
put the names in the. wheel at one Of the
daily drawings, and thus get some policy
in the schemes. Such combination might
give us prize that would approximate to
the public want, and prevent the State
being saddled with a blank defeat. "
