Pau stole it from him soon afterward.

Cold BATH-Willinm Peterson Walker
unable to steal without being caught, took
an involuntary cold bath in a barrel of
water early yesterday morning in the yard
of No. 60 Burgundy street. An inmate of
the house caught him in the act of stealing,
when an alarm was given, which SO fright
ened the Walker that he became runner
and jumper. He leaped from second
story window, landing in barrel of water,
which was bad for the water. He was then
captured, shivering and dripping, and taken
before Recorder MArthur.

that recruits from the best and most solid
men of the other political parties are daily
adding to its strength.

An old Democrat writes from Spartans-
burg, South Carolina, that business is
very dull there at present, since the Federal
authorities are arresting SO many parties
charged with being Ku-Klux. Did this old
Democrat ever reflect as to who was to
blame for the depression of his business
If there had been no Ku-Klux in Spartans-
burg, there would have been no troops,
and if there had been no troops, business
would be as lively as ever. The logic of
the case then suggests that the Ku-Klux
are the ones to blame for bringing the
troops, and the old Democrat is to blame
for not having suppressed the Ku-Klux
before the Federal authorities interferred.
Up in VIM parish, in Louisiana, and over
in st. Tammany, the same complaint is
made that business is dull, and yet there
are no Federal soldiers in either one OF
those localities. What produces the de-
preston. in Vim and ST. Tammany
It cannot be the troops, for there are
none there. Then it must be the rowdies
who make these localities unpleasant
places for honest and peaceful people to
live in. This about exhausts the argu-
ment,

SENATOR SIMMER.

The Washington Chronicle is certain that
Senator Sumner will not turn from the
great Republican organization that has
carried the country through so many perils
and lifted it SO high in the estimation of
all mankind. Mr.. Sumner has never in
timated any thought Of doing any such
thing. He only proposes to determine for
himself which is the Republican party,
and then to 60 with the organization that
comes nearest to the standard of political
excellence. While the party he assisted
to found was true to itself, under the pres
ent administration, Mr. Sumner was chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
no matter what sort of speeches he deliv-
cred in the Senate; but when a few men
constituted themselves the head and body
of the party, he was stricken down from
his high position as being too free of
speech in Congress. The genuine Repub-
leans resented the cowardly stroke that
Preston Brooks gave to Senator Sumner
years ago, and now they propose to resent
with equal dignity the blow that drove
him out of his position at the head Of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr..
Sumner only goes to the Republican party;
and where he goes, there the party will be
found.

WITHOUT A HEARING.

Some of the Democratic and Custom
house small fry, who were righteously ex-
PEELED from the House last winter for neg
Letting the business which the State paid
them eight dollars day to attend to, now
whine about expulsion without hearing.
The Bee echoes the sniveling complaint,
and adds to the weeping by its doleful re-
citals of the wrongs inflicted upon the in
jured lambs. All this is sheer hypocrisy
and barefaced fraud. The quorum break
ers deserted their posts for the avowed
purpose of obstructing the business of
legislation. They were notified to return
to their places by day named, or they
would be expelled, and for treating the
notice..with contempt they suffered the pen
atty. If they had no hearing, the fault
was their own. Those who returned and
submitted to the authority of the House
got their places back again, with few ex-
ceptions. The parties who now apologize
for these faithless legislators and impugn
the motives Of their judges, prove they
would act in the same revolutionary man
ner if they had chance.

SHALL WE HAVE REFORM

This is question that must be solved
by majority of the people Reform is
demanded in the administration of ma
tional and State governments, and to be
thorough and certain the people have got
to cooperate for the securement of State
, and national organization that will bring
concert of action in the great work of re-
form throughout this country. The de-
moralization produced by civil war and
military rule is plainly visible all over this
country, but its blighting effects are more
seriously felt in the administration of the
national government. There is growing
tendency on the part of the prominent
friends and adherents of the present ma
tlonal administration to make the govern
ment centralized military power, eAectu-
ally absorbing the local powers Of State
governments and rendering them subser-
Went to the will of the President, through
the action of federal officials, and, if neces-
sary, federal bayonets. The vast pa
tronage of the government is corruptly
used for determining elections of State and
federal officials and thwarting a full and
fair expression OF the will of the people.
This is the general condition of the coun-
try at large, brought about by the usurpa-
tons and abuses of federal officials in the
different States of the South, and, in fact.
in many of the States of che Union. The
chief policy of President Grants admins
+ration has been directed to Il conversion
of our Republican government into Gen.
tralized military power for the benefit Of
the few, composed chiefly of thes Grant
family. 1t is true President Grant may
say he is not solely responsible for this
policy; that Congress has helped to Gen.
tralize power in his hands, but this will
not clear the Presidents skirts of the
charge Of having used this power for the
aggrandizement Of himself and family.
No President Of this country ever before
made the Presidential Office SO entirely
subseryient to family interest. Hereto

THE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN CALL.

The political circular recently addressed
by Governor Warmoth and large number
of other prominent citizens to the Liberal
Republicans of Louisiana, has met with a
hearty and generous response from Liberal
Republicans wherever it has reached. A
long list of the most active and influential
OF the leaders Of our party, signers to the
address, will at once be published, to-
eetnef with call for meeting Of all those
III sympathy with the movement issued,
TO take place at an early day. The object
OF the meeting will be to complete arrange
ments for the trip to Cincinnati, and do
whatever else may seem best to the sense
of the assemblage.
There is now no room for doubt that
the Liberal wing embraces the great mass
of the Republican party in this State, and

Mr.. Cotton, who seems to be taking q
very lively interest in politics at present,
says that the reform measures were de-
feated in the last Legislature by the action
of Governor Warmoth's friends in expel-
ling certain members from their seats in
that body. Will Mr.. Cotton explain to
those who are benighted enough to accept
his suggestions as correct, how it was that
the members came to be expelled? Will
he tell them that these men deserted their
posts, and thus deprived themselves, by
their own act, of the power to assist in
passing the very measures which they pro-
fessed to have so much at heart? And
will Mr.. Cotton tell his friends that he
aided and counseled these recalcitrant
members in their folly? Will he tell the
whole truth, or will he merely pettifog
politics, to the great damage of the State !?

An excitable gentleman in the Demo-
cratic convention declared that he was op-
posed to General Davidson because that
gentleman voted to expel certain members
from the Legislature. Did it ever enter
the head of this man that the representa-
tives who Were expelled from the Legisla-
ture had voluntarily expelled themselves
by vacating their seats and setting up
revolutionary Legislature over the Gem
saloon, and that Mr.. Davidson voted to
give them back their seats when they came
forward to claim them?

While the Democratic State Convention
is acting with very liberal spirit, it is
likely to see its good works go to pot
through the incorporate prejudices of
some of its weakest delegates. The men
who denounce such citizens as Messrs.
Marks. Fenner and Ogden who propose
to ostracise Messrs Davidson and Brice !;
who flare up at public meetings in favor
of reputation and resistance to taxation !;
who run off after the Customhouse faction,
and generally give evidence of being very
incompetent political advisers, can do the
Democracy more harm than the Republi-
cans can, for they not only defeat it but
they keep the community in an incessant
broil. The best way to treat these dis
turbers is to let them row their own canoe.

The Citizens Guard is Of opinion that
the President is fully authorized to over
throw the government of Louisiana, be-
cause he established it. The Bee helps
the Guard in this suggestion by asking
General Grant to put Louisiana under
military rule, from which we infer that it
also adopts the opinion that the President
created our local government, aud is, there
fore, authorized to destroy It, 1t seems,
from these expressions, that neither Con-
gress nor the people had anything to do
with the establishment of the State govern
ment, and, therefore, they are not worthy
to be consulted about what is to be done
with it. We are getting along right fast to
the long-term principle and the one-man
power.

Mr.. J. B. Cotton, who, as a Democratic
orator, possesses profound contempt for
the Reformers, and the Picay.lne, which, as
a Reform organ, processes profound con-
tempt for the Democrats, have at last
found a common bond of sympathy in
declaring that the Democrats of Living
ston parish are incapable of deciding for
themselves who ought to represent them
in Democratic convention. Both of these
mouthpieces, if we mistake not, met in
unison once before, and that was when
they raised their voices in favor of turn
ing the State Of Louisiana over to military
rule. Having been defeated in their at
tempt to overthrow representative govern
ment in the State, they next tried their
muscle on single parish. And they were
defeated in the small fight as signally as
they were in the big one. Let them try q

AoA0s AAo0iueuO nave Deem 0xe0 IN tne
opinion that it was improper for them
to appoint relatives to Office, and the rule
was seldom violated before President
Grants time. This rule, it is true, was
not established by the constitution. but it
was established by the patriotic, conscien-
tious men who felt that it was wrong to
build up family at the expense of the
public interest. There is another rule,
however, which is in the constitution,
that has been fagrantly and repeatedly
violated during President Grants admins
tration, and that rule is that the military
shall be subordinate to the civil power.
We consider these abuses in the admins
tration of the federal government of far
greater importance than any that may
exist in the administration of State affairs,
for they are calculated to deprive the peo-
pie of the power, through the ballot-box,
to remedy the evils that seriously threaten
the public welfare. It is impossible to
have government without evils, for man
at best is apt to do wrong.
The evils Of local government may be
a sore affection, but they are small COM
pared with the evils of centralized mill
tary government, established in the inter
est of family that uses its strength to
crush out the civil power Of the people.
The people Of the States will finally cor
rect the evils Of local government if they
are unmolested by the federal government
in their right to do so. Reform, then, to
be complete, should commence with our
federal administration and conclude with
local governments. The people now have
an excellent opportunity for organizing SO
as to make the work of reform sure and
thorough. The Cincinnati convention
will be composed of able and influential
men, pledged to use their best efforts for
remedying the evils that have crept into
national and State administrations; and
no State or Territory in the American
Union should fail to send deleg ates
to this convention-men of intellect
and standing to assist in accomplish
ing the civil reforms that are neces-
sary to preserve republican government to
the people of this country. ALI parties
profess to be in favor of reform-profess
to see the urgent necessity for reform-and
surely there is still patriotism enough in
the land that will rise superior to any
minor consideration and secure once more
the benefits of good government Repub-
licans and Democrats might well afford to
sink all past differences and rally together
in the noble work of retrieving civil gov
eminent in the United States from errors
that are considered dangerous to repubG-
can institutions. We are satisfied that
Louisiana will not fail to do her duty in
the premises. Let every other State do
the same. By SO doing q party of the
people can be organized that will elect a
President and Vice President of the
United States pledged to civil reform. And
the organization that can complete this
great work will also secure all needed re-
form for State governments, for the move
ment, properly commenced, will sweep
over the country like wildfre.
