WAYS THAT ARE DARK.

The complaint recently made against
the conference committees for giving
away to the professional reporter the right
to publish the proceedings Of the confer
ence in any paper he saw fit, is of some
little interest to the public. There is
something more in this case than the or.
binary and highly praiseworthy ambition
on the part of publishers to serve their read
ers with early news. In this instance, as in
toe many others of the kind of late, commit
tees who have been intrusted with impor-
tant matters, involving the interests of the
| public, sat in secret conclaye with closed
doors, and all newspaper reporters were
carefully excluded from the room. While
the conference committee Of the late Lib,
eral convention were negotiating with the
Democratic-Reform and Republican State
| Committees, our reporters were refused
admission to the meetings, and could learn
nothing of what had been done or pro-
posed to be done except from such mem
bers Of the committee as were their per,
sonal friends and under the seal of secrecy,
We had no difficulty in finding out for
our own personal dedication everything
that was going on, but we could not give
it to our readers without violating conf
dence. The members Of the several COM
mittees fitted from room to room and
made sure the doors were well secured, in
the manner of secret conspirators, instead
of representatives Of free people who
had perfect right to consult together,
and upon whose deliberations hung i'm
portant public interests, and which were
bound to be made known to the people
before they could become effective for
good.
The REPUBLICAN, the Times and the
Pjcayat7e w2uld have gladly sent their re-
porters to the meetings of these commit
tees and spread the whole proceedings be
fore the public the next morning, but they
could not do this on account Of the unnec-
essary secrecy imposed upon everybody. |
And so of the last conference, reporters
were not permitted to enter the room
while the committees were in session
were not permitted to have copies Of the
correspondence, nor to give their readers
any insight into the dark doings which re
suited, as might have been expected, in
failure and disappointment. After the
were over, and their purport
lad leaked out pretty we'll, so that the tale
become stale, the Times was graciously
permitted to purchase from one of the in
.ttached reporters an account of the
whole transaction. No opportunity
Or competition was afforded the
,ther papers, as they could not
lave their reporters present nor obtain
opies Of the correspondence. without
ross breach Of courtesy. We do not
lame the Times, nor yet Mr. Collens, the
eporter. We should have published the
eport if We had deemed it of sufficient
interest, which is doubtful, if we had had
ne Times opportunity, and Mr.. CQllens

old Indian ball play with rackets. Some
years ago this was very common source of
amusement in that section of our State; but
the remnants of Indian tribes, that then
numbered several thousand, and who Wis
tied the parish of St. Landry annually for
this, to them, fayorite. amusement, have
gradually, yea, rapidly, disappeared, until
but few hundred remain
On this occasion we learn that the politics
of the day will be discussed. and that spe-
cial invitations have been given By the exc
cutive committee of arrangements to his
ExceIleDey Governor Warmoth, General
George A. Sheridan and Judge Z. North
Cullom to speak, and it is understood and
believed they will be on hand.
We trust that the hopes and expectations
of the good people of CheneyyiIle may be
fully realized, and that much good may
come of the speeches to be made.

Indian ball playing and supper have been
arranged to take pIace'at CheneyviIle, Lou

learn from a reliable. source that this is in-

State. Every arrangement has been made
to accommodate the visitors who are ex-
peeted from st. Landry, Avoyelles and
Rapides, and we understand that Jaege,'s
famous band, of this city, will be in attend

hearts Of the numerous knights Who are now
industriously preparing to contend for the

many years become very rare, and will, no

NEW COMBINATIONS FOR CITY OFFICES.

NEW COMBINATIONS FOR CITY OFFICES.
The refusal of the Democrats in the late
conference committee to agree to any
terms for the municipal and parochial
tickets which did not exclude the Liberals
| and Republicans from all substantial bene-
fits of the coalition, has evidently aroused
the suspicious Of the Germans They can
not, apparently, see the Democratic lead
ers parcel out among themselves the de-
sirable offices without feeling of deep
concern and dissatisfaction It is not
enough to say there are. not good places to
satisfy all the applicants, and that some
parties must expect to be left out. This
is sufficiently Obvious, but its plainness is
no excuse on the part Of the Democracy
to refuse a fair division among the several
parties to the coalition The Liberal
Democrats and the Liberal Republicans,
which two parties together comprise the
bulk Of the Germans, the white Repub-
hcans, and the better portion Of the old
Democratic party, and who are mainly
relied upon for the real strength in the
election, are rated On the Democratic
books as being exactly equal to the Re-
formers They were offered as many dele
gates IN the parish convention as this little
squad, which may be styled the vawl to
the Democratic stern-wheel steamer but
no more. II all the propositions which
were suggested the Reformers were tackled
on as a separate sovereignty, one Of the |
high contracting powers, to be admitted
on equal terms with two other parties
combined, either of which could detail
force from its ranks sufficient to swallow
up the mythical Reform party and not
miss the detail.
we know it is popular on the stump
and N the newspapers to introduce a vast
deal OF sentiment into politics. There is

Justified BY TIME

The PicayoHae pays the following well
merited compliment to Governor Warmoth
for the energy he displayed in flying to
this city in time to prevent Pinchback
from signing the ''reforn1 bills"
We take pleasure in according 90 Gov.
ernor Warfnoth the credit which he de-
serves for the promptitude, energy and skill
which be displayed in frustrating the plot.
and congratulate the public on his signal
success
1t has not always been our good fortune
TO be able &c second the motions of our er.
ratio neighbor. and we derive additional
qualification in the present case from its
rarity. When. last winter, the Picaqu,2e,
while it was pursuing its ''vacilIatine and
contradictory course. called upon the
people to assemble before the doors Of the
Capitol, with these bills all prepared. and
allow the General Assembly just one hour
to pass them, and then to allow the Gov.
ernor about five minutes to each bill for
his approval, under the penalty, in case of
refusal, of ''the nearest lamp-post," we
were compelled by q sense Of duty to dis
sent from the proposition. We did not
then desire to have those bills become
laws. But now that our neighbor has
come over TO our side, and is thrown into
a perfect panic at the mere possibility that
Pinchback, who voted against the bills,
was rushing hitherward like a comet for
the purpose Of putting the finishing
touches to them and making them laws, we
offer it the hand Of fellowship, and sin.

other scare. Governor Warmoth has saved

lies with the committee, who accorded to
Mr.. Collens the exclusive privilege. Of
being present, without at the same time
imposing upon him the condition that the
information thus obtained should at least

an investigation by the municipal all.

ling fact that nearly fifty per cent Of the
mortality of that great city is directly
tlaceable to ilthiness Of person, or of the
localities in which the largest mortality
prevails. This. perhaps, would be found
to be the case in otheE cities as well as
New York, if the same rigid inquiry was
made 1t is truth that one half the
world have no idea how the other half
lives. There are in OUT midst instances of
poverty and squalor that often awaken
the astonishment and horror Of the police,

liar with the miseries and distress of their
fellow citizens. It would be wrong to say
that this distressful condition of things is
a rule: But the exceptions are not so
numerous as at first blush might be sup
posed. To-day, in New Orleans, twenty
thousand people are seeking employment
and can not get it. These represent an
average of fifty thousand men, women
and children, They have no means Of
living but by labor, and saTaried labor, at
that. What, then, must be their condition?

To THE PUBLIC.

Governor Warrnoth has found it neces
sarv to withdraw from the board Of di
reetorg of the New Orleans Republican
Printing Company, and leave the manage
ment Of the paper entirely to those WHIT
have controlled it heretofore. He finds i
impossible to reconcile his position as tht
leader Of the fusion party with his con
nection with a newspaper majority O.
whose directors differ with him upon i'm
portant questions Of policy. Captious
and suspicious persons were continually
raising doubts of his sincerity in his ef-
forts to achieve success for the fusion
$icket SO long as he was even nominally
associated with the management OF
a paper which can not abandon its
Republicanism, nor repose full trust
and confidence in politicians with whom
ghe Governor, from motives of the best
good to the public interest, has allied
himself He still holds one-fourth in
&erest in the capital stock of the company,
(which fact alone entities him to a voice in
Che beard; but he is so sincere in his de-
termination to render the best assistance
an his power to his new allies that he
chooses to abandon his rights here that
he may afford no reason for anyone to
60 suspect his motives in his political af-
Citations.
We can not but deeply regret this deci-
@ion of the Governor, in thus terminating
@ business connection which has been of
Che most friendly character from first to
Hast. We have ever found him an able
and intelligent adviser in the management
0f the REPUBLICAN, ready at all times to
estate his opinions, but to yield when he
%as unable to convince his colleagues that
his way was the best. The points of diff
ference have, however, been few and IN
important, and even now, the cause of his
withdrawal consists simply in the fact that
NE is willing to trust in the professions of
Che Democracy, and we are not.
He has used his best endeavors to i'm
Que the other directors with his own con-
Gdence, but failing in that, and being I'M
able to recede from his other determine
zion to support the McEnery ticket he
has rendered his resignation to the board
of directors, which has been accepted.
