The mercantile experiment in Journal
ism in Louisville has proved a disastrous
failure. The fact is merchants get so in
the habit OF exaggerating in the sale Of
their wares that theycarry the faculty into
the newspaperprofession, where, of course,
it can't be tolerated for day. A speedy
decline in public confidence fixes a period
for the short-ived concern. We are ap-
prehensive of similar termination of a
like experiment in our city.

What will the Democrats throughout the
nation say when they discover that theil
allies in this State are so thoroughly de-
moralized that they have deliberately pro-
posed, through their State Central Com

Presidency who will assist them to carry
Louisiana for the Democracy? Mr.. Og-
den's address puts it in this way, and that
he means what he says is not a matter OF
doubt in this latitude at present.

Would the Democrats have dared to
offer their votes to General Grant in con-

them to carry Louisiana in their favor, if
they had not been encouraged to do so by
his friends in New Orleans? Is this trade
authorized? If it is, will the Republicans
that way?

HOW THE VICTORY Is TO BE WON.

The Democratic address is a thinly dis
guised appeal to violence. Mr.. Ogden de-
clares that any law which subjects. the
election returns to any supervisory board
must be treated as if it did not exist in the
statute books. No appeal must be made
to the courts, no contest entered before the
Legislature, but the people must remedy
their own wrongs. The effect Of such ad-
vice as this, if it has any effect, will be to
induce the Democrats, to whom it is adj
dressed, to reject all returns that are not
favorable to themselves, not in the way
prescribed by the law, but by force. Mir.
Ogden admits that this suggestion is revo-
lutionary, but he defends that it has been
forced upon the people, and that it hss
been accepted because all other efforts
have failed. If Mr. Ogden had said to
''the boys" ina very few words, "Organize
for victory, and if you can not win it by
fair means, then do it by foul" he would
have been just as well understood as he IS.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-02-27

Did it occur to Mr.. Ogden that the Re-
publican party was strong enough in Lou
isiana to carry both the State and national
nominations without any trade with the
Democracy? Did it occur to him that
probably the Republicans would prefer to
manage their local affairs if they were to
be called upon to choose between giving
up either the State or the nation? Could
he not be induced to let the Republicans
take the State while he takes the Presi-
dency? Will Sir Henry respond?

Messrs. Carr Quinn, Able and Souer, the
minority report by Ong and Tatman. The
minority report favors the adoption of the

per centum interest in gold to the holders

the bill reported by the majority gives but

Mr.. Davidson opened heavy gun on

he expected something better from that
| committee of reformers. He did not eX-
| pect to find them in favor of saddling
heavy interest Oh the people of this city.
He did not suppose they would be willing
| to fix the rate Of interest at more than
four per centum currency. He was now
satisfied the 'sFifty-one'' Committee was
snare and delusion instead of being what
they pretended - genuine reformers.
They had prepared the bill pro-

of the people of New Orleans for the bene-
| fit of the rich bondholders, while the ma
jority report offered bill prepared by
members of the Legislature that fixed the
