The Assembly in this State will probably
stand A Democrats and 81 Republicans.
The Senate, which is Republican, holds
over from last year. The vote on the gen.

vote is 462 more than it was last year.

AFTER IDLBNBss, WORK.

1t is time to go to work. Up to yester-
day men considered they had a right to
be idle. for each citizen assumed that
there was some great result for good or
evil to come out Of the election. The white
people predicted distress and demoraliza-
ton if Grant and Kellogg were elected,
and the black people, Or the most ofthem,
thought their liberties were in peril if
Greeley and AIcEnery were not defeated.
No amount Of reasoning could Danish
these absurd suggestions from the public
mind, and it was useless to lecture men
on the necessity Of labor and thrift
while they felt that their work and saw
ings were to be lost with the election.
Even men Of capital and sense refused to
act holding back moneys which they
should have loaned, because they did not
know how the election was to be decided
It was indeed time Of stagnation.
And now that the contest is over and the
issue decided, what security have men
now that they did not have two weeks
ago. The earth is not more fertile, the
sky more propitious, the sun more healthy,
the ocean more mercifui nor mankind
more capable. All that We had We have,
and all that we could have made is still

ONE OF THE GOOD RESULTS.

If the Republican party had no other
testimony to offer, the election yesterday
would be sufficient to establish its claim
upon the gratitude Of the State lnthls great
CITY, with all its diverse nationalities and
conflicting interests, with selfshness and
rowdyism ready and anxious TO wrestle
with Justice and gratitude, with immense
interests at stake between men and par
ties, an election was held that did not
present single disorderly feature The
drinking saloons closed their DOORS the
business houses suspended operations, the
laborers came from their occupation and
and the loafers from their dry goods boxes.
the white man and the negro met on
common spot for a common purpose, and
there was no sign in any Of these people
that there was anything transporting Of an
UNPLEASANT nature. There was but little
swearing, less quarreling, and even
the previous withdrawal OF classes
away from each other was not observable.
Republicans and Democrats met as Cit
zens should meet, compared notes, dis
cussed the merits of their respective
causes in fair and honest way, and then
proceeded to vote side by side as they be-
lieyed. without anger OF offer OF ARRAY.
Negroes were not molested, nor was any
man driven out Of his way on account OF
principles. In fact we had the fullest and
fairest election that ever occurred in the
CITY. so far as immunity from violence or
unjust interference was concerned, and
this, which is purely a physical fact, IS
great evidence in favor of the Republican
party which was mainly instrumental IN
bringing it about
All that we complain Of is this, that the
Democrats and their friends, whose names
are too numerous to be repeated just now.
should have conducted their campaign IN
der Republican auspices with Republican
principles without giving US the proper
credit The peace of yesterday gave them
the advantage. and the fact that they did

their submission to the laws made by the
Republicans enabled them to contest with
us for votes that they would not have Lad
any chance of obtaining under other cir
cumstances.
AS it stands, we must compliment the
Democracy, then, for the peaceful
ness of it's conduct yesterday, and fol-
its good sense in stealing our princi
pies to win some voters with. i
was not the same party it was four years
ago, either in its physical aspect or its
moral nature, and this we consider
great victory for our side that We have
been able to educate it up to our owl

be in position to claim admission int
the Republican party by virtue Of it
capacity to understand our principles, al
well as to initiate our practices.

DIR DuTY.

Now that the great political excitement
is over, the angry passions and inhamed
Dreiudices Of :nen Will cool, and legitimate
business will resume its customary in
tiuence. Those who have succeeded, as
we'll as those Who have been disappointed,
have equal duties 70 perform. The
struggle for office is over, but the duty in
cumbent on good citizens still remains
In this State it is particularly pressing.
The great commercial needs, 50 long felt
and 50 long neglected, require attention.
It is no? only the extension OF projected
railroads. the improvement Of rivers and
harbors, but The building up Of trade
which will utilize for New Orleans the
commercial industry Of the vast region OF
the Southwest. IdIeness and jukewarm-
ness will not accomplish it. t requires
the stamina, energy ard determination
which have built to successful rivalry the
great cities Of the Upper Mississippi and
the Lakes. These are the elements that
are wanted. This is the enginery that is
to stir up the sluggish currents of com
.merciai life and infuse into it electric
Vitality
Politics nave had nothing 70 30 with
our commercial mi8fortuneso It has been
lack Of energy, enterprise and go-ahead-
ativeness (if we may use the ezpression)
of our merchants. They think more Of
politics than they do Of the vast indus
tries which furnish the sole avenues to
commercial greatness. The development
Of the country which lies around US and
far to the westward, is greatly dependent
on the railroads which penetrate Texas
and bear onward to the Pacific. With
their completion will come new neces6l'
ties. and the possession probably Of the
northern tier Of Mexican States, and the
country between the Rio Grande and the
Sierra Madras. Interpretations and new
capacities will turn these fruitless plains
into farms teeming with agriculture and
the development OF mechanic arts. These
countries and the numberless and vast
afiuents that water them are tributary to
New Orleans. Stronger laws than those
Of mans ordination have made them So
physical necessity.
These, then, are the requirements OF
the future. To neglect these evident pos
sibilities is criminal Indifference to the
best interests Of the city and State. Com,
merce is the golden medium Of our wealth
and prosperity. It will prove, if rightly
appreciated, the cornucopia from which
will flow a prosperity unriYaIed in modern
enterprise and plenty.

TFE REV, DR.. j. P. NEWMAN,

This eloquent divine and truly patriotic
citizen returned to New Orleans last week
on short visit, after an absence Of nearly
four wears. The bare announcement in
the papers that he would deliver sermon
In Ames Methodist Episcopal CHURCH On
Sunday morning last brought together
very large number Of his friends and ad-
mirers. His text was: He that is slow
to anger is better than the mighty: and he
that ruletL his spirit than he that taketl.
a city.
The sermon was eminently practical and
useful, and was rendered the more inter
esting by the graceful oratory and touches
of intellect that sparkled in almost every
sentence. Few clergymen have more
earnest and, at the same time. pleasing
style Of addressing congregation.
Dr. Newman is the founde: Of Ames
Church IL this city. It. building is due
entirely to his energy and zeal. He came

THE, ELECTION,

We are not likely to learn the result OF
the election in this city for several days
According to the State law, the parish su-
pervisor Of elections is required to inspect
in nerson the counting Of the ballots
which is pretty big job for one man TO
perform in time to satisfy the longing q
the people impatient for the results.
The ballot boxes were all taken to the
hall Of the House Of Representatives last
niobt each being accompanied by the
MIL commissioners and inspectors These
officers, taken altogether, number several
hundred, and with the addition Of pro
dioious number Of special deputy United
states marshals and two or three hundred
policemen, filed the room and Corridors
leaving little space for spectators.
At the time we write (midnight) we
have not received returns from single
Doll, though the general expectation IS
that the counting will begin as soon as II
IS nossible to effect an organization OF the
forces required to conduct it.
Under such circumstances 1t IS, OF
course, impossible to say how the city has
gone. All estimates are necessarily based
upon a knowledge Of the various parties
before the election. But the general feel,
| ing appeared to be that the Republicans
have carried the city by small majority
and the State by at least ten thousand
We are satisfied that the Republican ma
iority, whatever it may be. will be Less
than we had reason to expect some days
ago. Possibly here and there q weak
candidate land we had altogether TOO
many of such on our ticket may fall SC
far behind as to fail Of election though
we confidently believe the more prom1nen
have been successful. The number o

This flag was presented by Dr. Newman
shortly after his arrival here, in the
presence of large congregation assem-
bled in the CarondeIet Street Methodist
Church, and the presentation was accom-
panied DIV one of the Doctors happiest eft
forts. He afterwards became the pastor
Of that church and remained there until
the close of the war, when our Southern
brethren Of the Methodist persuasion re-
sumed their devotions there. 1t was then
that Dr.. Newman took steps for the build
ing Of the handsome edifce known as
Ames Church. This was scarcely finished,
however, before the Doctor was stricken
down with yellow fever, from which, how
ever, he happily recovered after severe
illness, to the qualification of his many
friends, and lived to preach many excel
lent sermons in the beautiful temple he
dedicated to God. After General Grant
was elected President, DR.. New
man was chosen chaplain of the
Senate and invited to become the pastor
Of church in Washington. He left home

of ordinary men. Besides he is a man OF
extensive learning obtained from books
and travel. He has travelled over Europe,
extending his travels in that direction 70
the Holy Land. He has also Travelled ez-

the Doctor intends to make his present
visit to New Orleans one Of usefulness as
we'll as pleasure. He will deliver lecture
next Sunday evening in Ames Church fo1
the benefit of that church, his subjec

within our reach. Our fortunes are
within ourselves and not in the mere turn
of ballot box. The people who deserve
prosperity can command it, but the com
naunity that waits upon fortune can only
expect to thrive as the gambler does-with
plenty to-day and none tomorrow
What is wanted in Louisiana now IS
self-reliance, honesty and industry. The
people must help themselves; they must
do it at their own expense, and they must
do it with perseverance. Hundreds Of
men have loafed about New Orleans for
four years, waiting for some small Office or
to secure some employment that they con-
sidered decent. If they had devoted half
the ability to earning a living that they
have displayed in seeking places that did
not want them, they would have been well
off to-day.
It's to be hoped the new administration
will set about reforming this evil at
once Let it be distinctly under
stood that the city and State viii
hire no employees that are not wanted
Hundreds of men lounge about the vacant
places in the city hoping for places that
they consider has been promised to them.
Administrators deal easily with applicants
when they should deal roughly. They
should send the unwanted place seeker
away with positive answer, which will
settle his mind to hunt some other en-
ployment. Vague answers only raise
hopes and suggest delays that often ruin
men.
Can any man tell to-day that the cleo
ton is past? We are the same despite
the result; and though our preferences
may be disappointed, we will forget IN
little while that there was any contest il
the State between the people. Business
will resume its sway, the defeated will g
to work, we hope, the successful will com
mence the routine of their predecessors
commerce will engross and agriculture en-
f rich the city, money will become freer
confidence will be restored, and the coun
try which we surrendered to destruction
will be redeemed by its inexhaustible re
sources. It is impossible for Louisiana t.
: suffer prostration long, and we may con
slider that the season of her renewed Vi
taIity is at hand, for we have arrived a
the point where the people will be force
to save themselves. When we determin
