WHICH Is IT TO RE9

Some doubt is felt as to the exact char
acter Of the parade announced for tonight.
Whether it is to be an out and out Last
Ditch affair or purely Greeley and
Brown demonstration does not appear
very clearly in the announcements. In
our Judgment it is to be mixture. There
will be enough Of Greeley and Brown in
it before the event to secure as big a crowd
as possible and enough McEnery and
Jonas afterward to claim all the credit of
the show, especially if it is all respectable
in numbers. If the whole thing proves
to be failure, Greeley and Brown will
have to suffer for it; if a reasonable sue
cess, McEnery and Jonas will be held up
as the popular causes of it. This may be
good strategy, but can hardly go down as
political honesty, of which, however, the
prime movers in the affair take little ac-
count.
But whatever the result may be, whether
Greeley and Brown are to cause a failure,
or McEnery and Jonas to achieve a bril-
liant success, we hope no Liberal or Re
publican will show any disrespect to the
procession, however long or short it may
be. We do not care to impose upon our
readers the fimsy casuistry Of the Picayune
about the right Of approval carrying with
it the right to condemn, and that because
man is q citizen and owes for taxes that
he has a right to stand in the way Of other
people and block up the sidewalks for no
higher motive than to cause annoyance to
political opponents. A man may have
the abstract legal right to stand in the
middle Of the sidewalk and make passers-
by turn out for him, but it is not courte-
Gus and gentlemanly to do so. Neither
does it help cause, nor add to the dig
nifty Of the city to boot at passers-by on
any occasion nor under any pretense. We
do not deny the abstract right to do 50,
but such action is so manifestly improper
that We hope the friends of the Liberal
and Liberal Republican parties will not
be guilty of it. But let the procession,
whether it shall be glorious Democratic
''outpouring Of the people" or a ''tame
Greeley and Brown affair."" pass along in
quiet.

THE MAYORS BuNn0MRE.

1t was supposed yesterday that the
Mayor would continue his investigations
regarding the pay rolls, but for some I'M
explained reason it was not done. It is
hardly possible, however, that the Mayor
means to let she matter drop where it is.
The community feel interested in know
ing whether their chief magistrate has
made groundless or false charges respect
ing the city administration or not; and,
if corruption prevails either in his own or
any other department, they wish to see it
exposed. And while pursuing this inyes-
tigation, they wish to know whether an
employee of the city conducted negotia-
tons between the Mayors Office and the
Mulligan claimants; if he was to receive a
bonus in case of compromise, and if this
was done with the Mayors knowledge and
consent
Another subject Of inquiry should be
whether or not the Mayor authorized one
Of the employees in his Office to hire .
steamboat to convey delegates to Baton
Rouge at the time of the convention. md
whether or not the expenses were paid for
outof the contingent fund of the MAYORS
Office. 1t will be understood that the
Mayor Gas not delegate to that conven-
ton; but he was candidate before it for
the nomination for Governor, and received
the hattering acknowledgment Of one tote.
It's certain that one of his employees char
tered the steamboat but who paid for it is
not so clearly ascertained. It would be
! atlfying if the Mayor could assure the

The Bourbon organ calls upon the col
ored people to ''sink the political negro ,
and vote for the intelligent citizen. We
suppose this means that the political ne
gro is not and can not become sufficiently
Intelligent" to command the confidence
Of the voters of his own race. Intelligence
is a good thing in an officer, bat other ingre-
dents are wanted. The man who has so
much intelligence that he has no room for
justice, charity, meekness, honesty and
courtesy is failure. He would prove to
be too smart.

McEnery and his desperate crew are
running on the strength of Greeley and
Brown. Before the Cincinnati nominal
tons were ratified at Baltimore, McEnery
could not muster a corporal's guard to
hold up his banner, and the only indorse-
ment he ever did get in the city of New
Orleans was obtained in a sort of conf
dehce operation perpetrated upon the
friends Of Greeley and Brown.

Messrs. Egan, Farmer and Swan, MAX
ing the minority report of he'committee of
conference, set forth that the Democrats
claim certain offices because they desire
the patronage connected Herewith And
these gentlemen declare that in their opin-
ion the Liberal convention should mag
unanimously yield to this demand of the
Democracy, for the purpose Of uniting all
parties. Right here is where Messrs.
Egan, Swan and Farmer commit a mis-
take. The Liberal convention was not
called to trade for patronage. If it does
trade for patronage, it will commit the
mistake of trading for what it can not de-
liver. There is no magnanimity in agree
ing to be beaten. The success of any por-
ton of the united State ticket is defeat
for the Liberals. What the Democrats
demand insures disaster. With their man
at the head of the ticket the thing is
doomed to defeat. The Liberals might
just as well have remained at home as to
do this thing that they came to undo.

READING FOR TIE RnnRRnNs.

The Citizens Guard telegraphs to its
readers the solemn utterances of Confed-
crate Major General Uphonsus Blanton
Dawson Duncan, of the bloody ground in
Kentucky. The pith of the matter is that
Duncan purposes going for Grant because
Greeley is too nearly allied to the niger.
All the old Ku-Klux Bourbons in Ken
lucky go for Grant on the same ground.
They. say his army education made an
aristocrat out of him, and his nature can
not overcome the warp of his lifelong
growth. They say that Greeley has been
the friend Of the niggers so long he is
bound to continue so. As the twig is bent
SO the reeinclines. The Guard considers
this worth telegraphing. What sort of
readers did the Grant organ seek to please
by this kind of reading matter? Is it
coaxing the Bourbon Democrats?
