France, still insists that the only hope Of
the people of Louisiana at present is in
securing the strong arm of President
Grant to prevent them from upholding the
State government Just az We can mag
Inc how faction from the department of
Anjou might call upon President Theirs
to give them a new set of rulers, in spite
of the preferences of the people of the
province, SO we can conjure up the posi-
ton these States rights politicians now
occupy in appealing to President Grant to
assist them in overriding the will of the
people of Louisiana. If the spirit of John
C. Calhoun takes notice Of our world at
present, it must feel that the labor of the
great nulliier was lost on its apostles in
this State.

If the States Rights politicians who
insist that the President carries the power
IN his hands to overthrow State govern
ment and set at naught the will of the
people, will apply their theories to Louis
lana they can not complain if we apply
them to Alabama and Kentucky. A
large class of people Familiarity known to
the States Rights men as niggers are
very unjustly treated at present m Ala
Dama and Kentucky, and the President
might act in those two States to give them
better governments, just as an experiment,
before he commences on US.

The street can't do much Dragging on the
business transacted. A few brokers' dis
consulate. over the departure Of brisk times
still stand about and while away disagree
able hours by discussions on the nature OF
the securities IN which they have dealt or
still deal. But activity there is none.
City certificates are still slipping down
slowly, like ball upon an inclined plane,
but still slipping. Demand is the gravita-
ton that offsets the motion, and finally
sends the ball the other way. They are in
demand to pay taxes, and only for this pur-
pose. That is, the city's debt is paid off in
its own paper. We are informed they fuc-
tuate thus every month-go down until the
end is reached, and then, by single leap,
ego up head" on the first. Taxpayers, one
class, do not come up until the end of the
month; another class are not over Jealous
to come up at all; another set growl that
they might as we'll give the tax collector
their old clothes and go without covering
as to pay up at all. Every class buys certif-
Gates to help themselves out, and just now
they can be purchased from 70 to 80,
Metropolitan certificates being categorically
the same.
The whole business of stock jobbing is
dull.
City tens are quoted at 9ls, and are in
good request.
Street railroad stocks go up surely and
slowly. At the top of. the list stands City
railroad, which obligates $3.50 share, with
dividend. St. Charles street railroad is sold
at $76 so.
The great sensation among moneyed
circles yesterday was the election of a new

Having pranced around in opposition to
the general government for several years,
the Bee now trots itself out as firm be-
lever in the goodness and benefcence, not
Of the United States, but of General Grant
as the Moses who is to lead the Democracy
Of Louisiana out of the Republican house
of bondage. The path of this exodus is to
lead through the Red Sea of resistance to
taxation The difficulty will be in making
the people believe in the new deliverance.

1t is poor rule that will not work both
ways. The Morning Star proves that the
taxes are ruinous by citing the fact that a
piece Of property which only paid five
dollars taxes few years ago, is now as
sessed at thirty dollars. Per contra, we
know of several pieces of property that
paid more taxes several years ago than
they do now; and then, again, we know of
large amount of property that has never
paid any taxes. If the first fact proves
that the taxes are high, the second fact
ought to prove that they are low, and the
third fact ought to prove that they have
been abolished entirely. What sort Of
children read the Morning STAR

THE PIC ON THE PICATUNE.

Our attention has been directed to three
separate and distinct items in the Picdyune
of Sunday last; from which we make
quotations that Will serve to indicate its
reliability when Illuminating anathemas
against the Republican party for running
and bankrupting the State" In its politi-
cal articles, the miscalled peoples pa
per" pictures the State as desolate waste,
and the city as place where mercantile
prosperity is a myth and well filed wharves
aud warehouses but legend.
Hear this self-elected champion of the
people, when it overlooks the fact that we
have a Republican State and municipal
government, and talks square business
to its patrons.
In referring to the prospective sale Of
valuable real estate, the Picdylne says:
No investment can offer greater security
than good centrally situated and well i'm
proved property at the current prices.
Of the current prices it has this to say
in another article, its remarks being based
upon actual transactions Of the day before:
In the face Of heavy taxation and every
other element calculated to injure and de-
press real estate in this city, we think the
prices realized should encourage all classes
Of our citizens and reassure us that there
is life in the old land yet"
In describing the public sale Of another
wholesale list of city property, it says:
Considering the character of our situa-
ton, we see in these evidences Of activity
but certain eventual improvement.
Here We find the business columns of
journal which claims the chief place as
public mentor, guide and teacher, disprov-
ing entirely the doleful tales it tells its
readers through its political column, in
which it seeks to lead the Louisianians to
reputation, perhaps revolution, and posi-
tive ruin. 1t is fortunate the Picay,tae be-
gan its wicked teachings so early that those
who might be led astray have time for
sober second thought before the time for
action arrives.

In the demise Of the Very Rev. Father
Flanagan, St. Patrick's Church, of which
he was pastor, has lost one Of its pillars,
the Catholic faith an able expounder, and
the community good man. For quarter
of century the reverend father has Off
ciated in this archdiocese, and has been
widely, favorably known for his works,
outside of those properly belonging to his
ministratiOns. He was sixty-fOur years old
at the time of his decease, which took place
on Sunday last at noon, in the presbytery
on Camp street, adjoining the church. He
was native of Kinmetty, Kings county,
Ireland, and during his ministrations lent
to them vigor united with an impulse, the
peculiar trait of his people. His funeral
will take place to-day, after the celebration
of requiem mass this morning, at nine
o'clock.

The double-barreled organ of the de-
serters from the States Rights party in
sists upon another civil war. The Bee
says that the Defensive Association ("
does not intend to use forcible means to
resist the collection Of taxes until every
other remedy has been exhausted, but it
takes good care to destroy the force of
this peaceful suggestion by declaring that
the people have no hope of assistance
from the legal authorities, since they are
interested in the collection of the revenue.
Arguing apr;ori We should say that the
Defenders have already. declared war,
since they insist that the only means to
prevent it can not be relied on. Either
the Bee is FalstaH or it is a Hotspur,
and we have no opinion at present as to
which character it prefers to play.

Alexander H. Stephens contradicts, with
much ascerbity, the report that he is

UP his paper. He avows, on the contrary.
.he will never relinquish his functions $50
long as present dangers threaten, or as long
as we are able either to WELD pen in our
own hand or direct the welding of it by
the hands Of others, hoping and trusting,
Dec rolente, that we shall never become

'well-doing' in the great cause of popular
rights-the rights of the people and the
rights of the States-in which we are EN-
listed for life"

PLAYING INTO EACH OTHERS HANDS.

PLAYING INTO EACH OTHERS HANDS.
1t is shrewdly suggested that the present
excitement in favor of epudiation-which
is the plain way to denominate the refusal
to pay the taxes that pay the public debt
emanates from a combination of Custom
house followers and a set Of spectators in
State securities. The Customhouse at
taches hope. to make some capital for
themselves by injuring the credit of the
State; and the spectators expect to make
some money by buying up the warrants
which they propose to depreciate the mar
ket value of. As the effort to repudiate
the debt is as impracticable as it is dishon-
est this movement only shows the despe-
rate means the factionists will resort 10 to
injure the Republican party, and the folly
of the taxpayers who follow their sugges-
tons.

Governor Harrison Reed, of Florida, was
impeached and suspended from his Office by
the Legislature last winter, but that body
adjourned without giving him a trial on the
charges preferred, and SO left him sus-

that the adjournment was equivalent to a
dismissal of the case, and has just issued a
proclamation letting the people know he is
Governor, that the doings of Lieutenant
Governor Day are without authority of
law, and commanding obedience to himself

split is permanent. What is further
conducive to Il healthy reaction, is the
fact, that, in the recent changes Of pol
itics, the surest road to popularity isl
now considered to be the unrelenting
prosecution of men who have betrayed
their official trusts. Reform is the cry
that rings through the land, and the
mcrciless scourgc of popular indigna-
ton and the torturing knout of ambi-
tious politicians, eager to conciliate
public favor, are pursuing the undone
wretches to felons' dens or political eN-
lie. Six years they have been fcasting,
and tlOuting in the faces of honest
people, defiant boasts of their integrity
and patriotism. All this time the
Nemesis of fate has been upon their
tracks, and at last they are brought to
a reckoning by the aid of their own
friends.
What a disgraceful record for the
party Of stProgress'' for theself-appoint-
ed champions of the poor, crcdulous
negro, whose friendship they secured
! only to betray him! This investiga-
| ton does not, however, startle us with
| the magnitude of the corruption 1T is
unearthing. What does nystify us
q little, is, that we find in the work of
| Radical commission, ample justiti-
cation for all the rcproaches and de-
nunciation we have visited upon the
dominant party in this State.
Some people have pronounced the
TELEGRAPH extreme in its opposition to
Radicalism, and essayed to weaken its
standing by sneering at it as Il "Radi-
ical Democratic" organ. In the light
Of recent exposures, moderation would
have been Il crime. 1t is a special Won
der, arguing strongly in favor of the
decline Of Southern manhood, that
men, seeing SO many indications OF the
turpitude now made public, should
have been able to moderate the anger
and opposition which must have ami
mated their breasts, and watched the
Fastening ruin and degradation of their
State, without scarcely II word of dis
sent, Or at most only an occasional fec

bably make moro.
