Southern States; having done all this, the
Democratic and Reform parties will find it
difficult to reconcile their acts with the
protested love they bear the South and
the entire country.
But having made the sacrifices, where
are their advantages? 1t will be by no
means certain that they will have defeated
Governor Warmoth, and if they do accom-
plish it, viii his defeat compensate for the
sacrifice Of all the rest of the officers in
the State? They will have allied them
selves with party the Democratic and Re-
form element of which will not consti-
tute two-ffths of the whole Will this in
significant number exercise any practical
influence in the councils, or have any
weight in shaping the policy Of such
party? Does common sense or reason
teach it? Yet this is the course which the
partisan malice of the Picaylne has driven
it to advising.
But there is yet vital consideration
which our contemporary has left out of its
calculations. All of these propositions for
compromise and coalition come from the
Democratic and Reform committees and
their organs. The Customhouse party is
silent upon the subject. 1t does not even
indicate an acceptance projection of them
Certainly it does not agree to give into
their control the State government or
even share in it. Under these circum-
stances the Picay,tne's policy is like the
mariner ''who goes to sea upon a shat
tered plank and trusts in miracles for
safety" Just what the generosity of the
Customhouse party will allow it, it will be
pleased to accept. Is such a policy sense
or is it folly?
These are the propositions which the
Picapue grandly submits to the Demo
Gratis and Reformers of the State; but it
nowhere indicates a sufficient reason, or,
indeed, any reason at all, why they
should reject an alliance with the Liberal
Republican party. 1t is well understood
that the chief purpose of this organiza-
ton is reform Of political abuses. 1t
has wisdom, power and right on its side.
Its chief object is pure government
Such, too, is the protested aim of the
Democrats and Reformers. Identity of
purpose should produce concert of action.
The best and wisest Democrats in the
country have said that there is nothing
in the Cincinnati platform that they can
not agree to; that it contains no principle
that they do not wish to succeed. If this
is so in national, why can it not be so in
State politics?
It is evident the Picnyne has lost its
judgment, or it is taking counsel of its
Radical Republican preferences. In either
case the Democrats and Reformers will
scarcely be content to follow its advice
The only coalition which promises good
to the State is with the Liberal Repub-
lican movement

Whats pitiful object is the Grant organ
not the Picayltue, but the Citizens Guard,
1t labors and sweats, CRASHES its blunted
old fangs, and hOwls in rage and despair.
1t VOWS that the Times, Governor Hebert
and the bulk of Democratic responsibility
have gone downright mad" in manifest
ing desire to save the State through
Governor Warmoth's agency that the
Governor is powerless, helpless and seer
tain of humiliation" politically. Then,
with double vehemence, it denounces his
excellenoy as ''Qpscrupulous, treacherous,
vindictive, with the cunning of a serpent
and face like the brazen image" and
tells the followers of Grant that they need
to "stand like a stone wall against this foe,
whom, in the same breath, it again asserts
is in his death throes. To the colored
voters it is most imploring not to sell out
the Baton Rouge convention to Warmoth,
and threatens all who do turn ''traitor"
with the ''brand Of CAIN" thus, in its
crazed desperation, foully insulting the
colored people, whom it beseeches to save
from political overthrow its leaders. We
like to see the Guard in this fine frenzy
ranting. 1t shows proper recognition Of
the weakness of the federal clique, whose
interests it supports. Hurrah for Greeley.

The Liberal Christian, edited by Rev.
DR.. Bellows, has this hearty testimony to
bear of Horace Greeley: At home in citv
and country, and on both sides of the con
tinent with all the qualities of the
1anEIee-slmple as shrewd, and shrewd as
simple; gOod-natured as healthy child and
passionate as the same on occasions: a
wide lover of his species, and a tremendous
hater OF many of its individual varie-
ties; open as the day, and inscrutable
as the night; devoted to principle when
NOT ABSORBED 6y measures; strong as giant
his locks in her lap; so pure that dirt won't
stick to him, which makes him a little too
free IN going into it; not to be known by
bis associates, because quite. superior to
many OF them capable of a super human
Irahkness ana Irappian silence-certainly
America hnds in him at this moment its
most characteristic representative. He Is
the American par erceItence."

WHICH Is BEST 2

The Picayune has thrown aside its fimsy
mask at last, and brazenly exhibits the ut
ter selfshness of its designs. The cry of
reform has been a snare to catch the
thoughtless populace. What it was really
after was the lucrative offices. 1t appeals
boldly to the Democrats and Reformers to
make coalition with the Grant Repub-
ican wing (which has the power and dis
position, to come to our relief" and de-
clares that this desperate faction of federal
ofice-holders are ''willing to relinquish (?)
majority of the offices, such as judge
ships, clerkships and lesser positions"
So, to this complexion has it come at
last. The offices for its friends are the
ends in view. Now, this being the case,
would it not be well for the Picdyne
to pause and consider if the Customhouse
faction has any offices to ''relinquish ?"
Would it not best to see if Governor War
moth is not willing to relinquish some
thing, too, and not put the REIMBURSEMENT
off until next year? He has police jurors,
justices, constables, registrars, and offices
of all degrees within his gift already. Then
why wait SO long and take the doubtful
chances of an election for the realization
of your aspirations? Come, answer lEr
Pic. Surely your worser instincts have
not SO far got the control that you prefer
an alliance with acknowledged and proven
corruptionists rather than with one who
has been often accused, but passed through
every trial untainted and scathless?

To night, at Idlewild, the beautiful square
at the corner of st. Charles avenue and So
Mat street, commences the series of enter.
tainments for the benefit of st. Marks
Protestant Episcopal Church. The ladies
who have it in charge have made every pos
sible arrangement for the amusement of the

other place can equal it. Those of our
friends who are wise will not neglect an
opportunity so replete with pleasure.

The Citizens Guard is in mortal dread
over a report that Warmoth is about to
disband his ward and parish clubs, and
by participating through his followers in
the election for delegates to the Baton
Rouge convention under Packard's call,
select men of his own and get himself
again nominated. Believing this report,
the Customhouse clique has cause for
alarm. The superior strength of the
Warmoth faction would enable it to swal-
low up Packards club organizations as
easily as full grown man. takes in his
anteprandial oyster. And if it becomes
necessary to elect ''good men and true" to
the Baton Rouge convention, the Guard
may rest assured it will be done.

Mr.. Patton, in his capacity as chairman
of the Democratic committee for the
parish of Orleans, struck the same truth
which we have so often told to the Bee,
that the people have lost confidence in
the Democratic party. The State conven-
ton will bear this fact in mind, that it
can not go into the contest next fall with
any prospect of success, simply because
it has been defeated so often, and has
made so many mistakes, that the mass of
the people no longer regard it as capable
Of achieving success. A beaten army is
a very uncertain reliance at any time. An
army that has lost confidence in its leaders
is almost certain to be defeated.

For the instruction of the Customhouse
organ we will state that the gallant Union
soldier General Charles G. Halpine, whose
nom de plume of miles O'Reilly" is famous
throughout the land, wrote Gall Hail, the
Haunting Lier' 1t was penned on the
occasion of the return to slavery of a fu-
gitive colored man from the South. 1t is
welcome to whatever capital against Hor-
ace Greeley it can make out of the circum-
stance of its publication in the Tribune.

THE III. r. IL

We regret that colored Republicans
have organized themselves into secret,
oath-bound societies 1t must give birth
and support to Ku-KIux and K. W. c. or
CARNATIONS in opposition to them. No
good ever came Of these dark-lantern clubs,
but much of disaster and misfortune.
The Times on Sunday printed full
expose ofthe ''United Republican Legion, "
with its constitution, oaths, grips, signs
and passwords, and we have reason to be-
ieve in the accuracy of its developments.
This secret society originated in the Gus
tomhouse, but has outgrown the control OF
Casey, Packard & Co. so much as to have
fairly taken the management of their re-
cent National Theatre convention out of
their hands. Stockdale and one or two
other of Grants ofice-hoIders have been
blackballed upon applying for admission,
and it was through its agency that Mr.
Billings was elected a delegate to PhiIa-
delphia, despite Boss Packard's strenuous
exertions for his defeat. The same gem
tleman is pledged its support for the
nomination for Governor at Baton Rouge,
and will receive it in preference to any
other man recognized as belonging to the
Customhouse wing. Only to secure COM
plete unity in the Republican party is it
probable Mr.. Billings would be laid aside
by the members of this body
The evident attempt Of the Times to
make of this a sort Of Ku-KIux organiza-
ton is to be deprecated as calculated to
unnecessarily arouse bad blood in our too
excitable people.

The Citizens Guard shrewdly recon-
mends that federal ofice-hoiders abstain.
from becoming candidates to the Baton.
convention. This advice is prompted by.
the experience of Pitkin, Stockdale and
others at the last election of this kind Or
dered by Packard. Such defeats are apt
to work cure of political aspirations,
and they will not perhaps find it hard to-
forego what they know is impossible of
procurement. And the grapes are very
sour, too.

IF the Citizens Guard is in doubt about
the attitude Of Senator Schurz in the pres7
emit political crisis, we can afford to let ii
remain so for while, as our mind is
sweetly at rest on that subject. Butcher
did not announce his march on Waterloo
by fre-crackers and defamation, but
simply tramped into the fight at the right
time to win the day against the man of the
Tuileries, and so it will be with Senator
Schurz, that in the very heat of the battle
he will let his position be known by the
roar of his batteries.

hees is a great mistake. The Liberal

Both parties felt that they were losing

the Columbus Democrat has Deen a con-
slant failure from the beginning. These
deadhead tickets are becoming more of a

cit is wise to beware the advice of your
enemy" Democratic delegates should
bear this fact in mind when reading the
warnings Of the Citizens Guard against
combining with Warmoth to restore good
government to Louisiana If such a pro-
gramme was not calculated to overthrow
the dangerous, corrupt and desperate
ring which it represents, we should find
no such cautions in its columns.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-

seryation in Kentucky, and represents men
and journals throughout the State as zeal
ously in favor Of the Cincinnati nominees
He made inquiries Of nearly all the con
s,,icuops men of the State, including Colonel
breckenridge, cousin of John G and son OF
the Rev. Robert j. Breckenridge, General
Leslie Coombs, Colonel Morgan, Colonel
Mason Brown, General Robinson and
others. These gentlemen were all free to
admit the overwhelming enthusiasm for
Greeley and Brown, and the absolute mad
ness OF attempting to play false with the
Liberals at Baltimore.

The Free Trade League of New York de-
clines to support Mr.. Greeley because he
has always been known as tariff man.
Mr.. Greeley does not disavow his former
convictions, but he says that if the people

that will enact a free trade law he will not
oppose them nor hesitate about signing
the measure. If the Free Trade League
can ask any better arrangement we should
like to know what it would like to have
