A CONFUSION OF PARTIES.

The politicians who hunger after the |
fiesh-pots of office have divided and split |
up into many parties. There are the Dem
ocratic reformers, who want to control the |
State and city patronage; there are the
CustOmhouse refolmers, who wish to con-
tinue the Grant administration, themselves
included. through another term: there is
the Citizens Association, who want the
wealthy whites to be the rulers and CAPT
talists, and the poorer classes, without
much regard for color, to DO the hard work;
and there are the Republicans, who wish
to perfect the great work begun under the
reconstruction laws. The latter have been
reformers from the FIRST. They have at
tackled. reformed and abolished one abuse
after another of those imposed upon the
people by Slidellian Democracy, until
now nearly the last stronghold has been
taken Against this great party the enc
my has divided his forces, hoping to make
up by plurality Of names what is want
ing in strength.
The opposition is nearly all confined to
New Orleans and is not very formidable
even here on account OF dissensions among
themselves The Reform party, headed
by the Committee of Fifty-one, is an Off
shoot of the Democratic party proper.
Having become thoroughly disguised with
that old, inert effete, unprinci. led organ
ization. they have left il in the vain hope
of drawing enough voters after them to
make them formidable. But they have
only provoked the jealousy ard ill-will OF
their former friends, with whom reconcile
alton IS difficult if not impossible, and
their best chance for obtaining political
influence is in joining the Republican
party in regular form, and aiding us by
| their counsels, influence and votes. They
can not succeed alone. They can not
hope TO reform the Democratic party or to
persuade the people to place confidence IN
it. They are in the condition of swarm
of bees. that have left the old hive and are
on the wing, uncertain where to light.
The party fugiemen keep Up a most deaf
ening din, trying to persuade them to
come back: but the seceders are deaf to
the call Let them settle IL Republican
pastures, 90 TO work with the true reform
party, and they viii have reason to be
satisfied with the result

AT IT AGAIN.

It seems utterly impossible for the
"calico" organ down the street to give a
fair exposition Of anything which relates
to tie executive. It's mendacity i'll this
respect would be annoying, were it not
contemplate. But it having earned the
reputation Of malicious and deter
mined falsifer, should perhaps be permit
ted to enjoy It With IMMUNITY. In its
evening issue, in all'!s.on to the Judicial
imbroglio, it says:
1t has been heretofore shown that the
executive has interferred with the iegisla-
tive department. This is an evidence that
he has annulled an act OF the judiciary
Here is the three in one Of the despot which
republicans Of the Old World stroye to
SEPARATE, and in which Republicans of the
New World were thought to have sue
ceeded. People OF Louisiana, white and
black, is Governor. Warmoth Republican,
or a despot?
This can scarcely be considered in the
light of misrepresentation. 1t should
more properly be called a deliberate false
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-03-06

OF fact that no sensible Republican will
dispute about He is not only mentally
incapable of leading or directing in a
political contest, but he is morally def
Gent in the attributes that constitute a
controller Of mankind. His principles as
politician are the subject Of very grave
doubts, and his faith as distributor OF
favors is wholly unreliable. The petition
that was forwarded to Washington IN behalf
of all the leading Republicans in the State,
sustains our assertion concerning his status
as Republican, and the thousands whom
he has betrayed with hopes OF advance
ment attest the quality Of his faith as
dispenser of patronage. 1t is not pleas
ant task to thus expose this failing on the
part of Mr.. Casey, for the public rather
like to be told that those who beslege
public officers for position have been
cheated; yet it is a safe index to mans
morality to understand that he has neither
the honesty to fulfill his promise when he
has voluntarily made it to a beggar. Upon
these two grounds we say then that the
President has blundered in retaining Mr..
Casey as collector of the port OF New
Orleans at the very time when he needed
strong honest and straightforward friend
in that position.
Mr.. Casey has been weak enough not
only not to see his own weakness, but to
allow himself to abuse with promises OF
preferment which We're as vain and unsub-
stantial as his own. Acting under these
temptations, he has allowed that influence
which he should have given to the Repub-
ican party to be squandered in vain and
senseless efforts to break down better men
than himself, in order that his own pre-
ferment might be built upon their ruin
Incapable of obtaining the support of the
Republicans Of the State by virtue of his
own merits, he has used his relations with
the President to obtain the influence of
the federal patronage in Louisiana to force
that favor for himself out Of the party
which could not be obtained in any other
way.
The President must either repress the
ambition of his subordinates in Louisiana,
then, or he must prepare to accept, as the
consequences of persistence therein, the
detection of his friends. The people who
will not voluntarily support Mr.. Casey
will not support the man who attempts to
force Mr. Casey down their Threats. They
reject him because be has been unfaithtul
to the party in seeking constantly to dis
tract it; they reject him because his name
has been connected with some Of the
most obnoxious speculations that were
sought to be inflicted on the State they
reject him because he attempted to revolu-
tionize their government, first by fraud.
and next by force; they reject him because
he has never been loyal to his promises or
to his friends; they reject him because of
his general want of capacity. and they will
reject his patron if he insists on forcing
such man upon them as director. This
is not a menace; it is not an angry asser-
ton: it is a solemn truth that time will
demonstrate-will fully prove if it is not
guarded against by Mr.. Casey's removal.

ONE WAY TO REFORN.

The spring time Of politics is upon us,
and thousands of hopeful ambitions are
putting forth their tender buds. Some OF
these will be pruned off by the nominating
conventions and cast away as worthless.
Others will ripen in life and activity be-
meath the summer of popular support.
Some, alas must be frozen by the wintry
judgment of the majority condemnlng
them to defeat and retirement. From one
extremity Of the Union to the other the
people are employing this seed time to Sc
lect the men whom they intend to employ
as their future favorites, and aspiring poll
ticians are undergoing that thorough dis
cussion and assortment which is just as
necessary in politics as it IS in farming.
To make the government better and the
laws more wholesome, it is necessary that
we exercise a constant vigilance in super
vising our public agents, casting out this
incompetent man here, rejecting that I'M
faithful agent there and holding on with
tirmness to the officer who has done his
work and kept his faith with those who
honored him with their agency and their
confidence. When the American people
forg get this duty, and neglect to pay that
attention to the great interests OF the State
which it is their paramount obligation to
fulfill, they may certainly calculate upon
{v,n
They are as much bound to investigate the
men whom they appoint to public office as
they are to discover the character OF their
personal dependents, for the one Is as
largely charged with their interests as the
other. And each citizen should exercise
in this matter personal Judgment, for
there is nothing so detrimental to an hon
est administration of public affairs as that
cowardice which prevents an intelligent
man from inspecting the record of every
individual candidate, and of rejecting or
accepting him upon his own merits as
capable and upright citizen. If an officer
has done his duty, retain him; if he has
not done this, replace him with one whose
private life gives promise that he will do
better. 1t is not much Of task to do this
service faithfully and efectually, if the
people will only put their minds to the
| work as one that belongs to them, as one
that is of immense importance, as one that
they have obligated themselves to dis
charge, not only on their own behalf, but
on behalf of their country and their
| friends. 1t is our solemn and imperative
duty to test every candidate for office, not
alone by his promises, but by his antece-
dents, and to reject or approve as the test
shall decide that he has won a right to be
| trusted. Let US have an election con-
Quoted upon this suggestion, and the State
| and the Union will feel the wonderfully
| beneficial effects at once and for years tc
come. Now is the time to set on foot the
proper inquiry in order to the lettering Of
our condition hereafter. Republicans are
| pledged to this reform above all Others
and we hope the opposition, let 1t take
what name it may, VII follow the ex
| annie

JUDICIAL. TYRANNY.

Judge Cooley is again in glory. He IS
for the hour the prominent topic OF con-
versation in legal circles, and he derives
sufficient satisfaction from the huZzas OF
the thoughtless to more than compensate
him for the censures of the judicious.
The Judge has an inappeasable passion Tor
notoriety. He values it at par with fame,
and goes in for it on all occasions. lie
bears down upon Republicans with a
rather heavy hand when occasion permits,
and he has Just found the occasion. He
Furnishes Mr. Van Norden under pretense
of making an example OF . prominent, III
fuential. moneyed man, when everybody
who knows anything about the matter
strongly suspects that the political senh-
ments Of the defendant in contempt have
more to DO with it than his financial stand
ing.
In our opinion, the judge exhausted the
powers when he sentenced Mr.. Van Norden
to prison for contempt. This was, no
doubt, an offense against the State, which
the Governor thought fit to pardon. If
the defendant has done anything since to
| provoke the ire of the court, we have not
heard of it, neither has ii been made to
| appear The ORDER therefore, to bring
| the gentleman before the court second
| time can be regarded in no other light
than that of judicial tyranny, provoked
by hasty temper and desire to be re-
venged upon his victim for having escaped.
The offense of Mr. Van Norden consists
in failing to bring into court certain
bank box when required to do so. He
merely asked for time to consult his cOun-
sci. He subsequently complied. And
whatever may have been his position as
an offender, he is so no longer, and the
power of the court is not exercised for the
purpose of performing a specified act,
but to punish him for neglecting to do it
at the proper time. We submit that as
the sentence for this has been interrupted
BY the executive Mr. Van Norden is out
of the hand, Of the court, and any further
pursuit Of him by Judge Cooley is tyran-
meal and wicked The quarrel, if the
Judge has any to make with any one, is
between him and the Governor, who inter-
fered to prevent citizen from being I'M
necessarily deprived Of his liberty.
The president Of the bank IN this case
has not the slightest interest III the result
OF the controversy between the Original
parties. He at one time occupied the posi-
ton Of stakeholder, which ne has since re-
linoni, shed, thus placing himself III posi-
ton where it was not possible to obey the
order OF the court so far as the thing helo
as stake IS concerned. There IS no pre-
tense that he has converted it to his OWL
use, or done anything except to feheVt
himself Of responsibility IS custodian
He did not act in his capacity as p1esiden
of the bank, but simply as the friend O
one or both of the two parties who made
him their referee. But because he was no
able to hand the package over to the cour
when the demand was made, he is made t.
suffer punishment, and this, too, in tn
face of an executive pardon. If a cltlzel
thus holds his liberty at the will of ;
capricious judge, he has not much t
boast of in the way Of security.

hood, since there is not one word OF truth
in the entire paragraph. When did the
Governor ever interfere in the legislative
department? Was it when he refused to
favor the produce shed monopoly, to which
he was entreated by the yardstick pro-
prietors of the Picayesnes Is it because
he refused to permit them to levy an in
discriminate extortion on the mercantile
community that our "calico" contemporary
now finds him despot? Or was it be-
cause he was unable to vouch for the en-
tire reliability Of the mercantile and
Picayme partner Of Jonas French, the
provost marshal of General Butler, when
their present business arrangement was
about being entered into ? It can not GER
tainly be that he is ''despot' because he
has relieved an hdnored and respectable
citizen from unjust imprisonment.
