A CORNER CRUSHED,

By virtue Of his double Office as chair,
man Of the Democratic Parish Committee
and president of the Democratic Parish
Convention, Mr.. Arch Mitchell declares
that the fusion ticket was never ratified OF
Endorsed by his party, and its nominees
| are not the nominees of the Democracy.
This is the highest authority on the sub
ject that can be had, and the public accept
| it as relieving them from any allegiance to
the candidates presented by what is known
as the fusion party. In fact, Mr. Mitchell
says in effect that the people are now free
to vote for the best men, since no authori-
tative organ of theirs has bound them to
any particular man or set of men. And
we infer from the curtness of Mr.. Mitch
ellis card that he has determined to exer-
else his own judgment in the premises, as
every gentleman and sensible citizen
should, and will cast his vote for public
offices as he makes up his mind about en-
ploying a clerk, according to the charac-
ter and qualifications of the candidate
This is q very important departure. It
crushes the little corner a few trading pol
iticians created in politics for their own
benefit, and allows the question of govern
ment to sweep on its general current to a
healthy and unselfsh determination at the
hands of the people. The outside public,
inattenti7e to the movements of scheming
place-hunters, as it is, can form no idea of
the debasement to which politics was re-
duced by the late conventions in this city
The friends of one candidate combined
with those of half dozen others, and by
this means formed a body of partisans
who held the power of the convention in
their hands, The candidates made no
question as to competence or hon
esty, but simply inquired as to the
strength Of their partners il place
hunting Toulouse street traded
with Girod, Rampant traded with
Perdido, and 50 on, until the necessary
strength was acquired to dominate the
convention and secure the success of the
ticket supported by the traders. Mr..
Mitchell must have seen this thing pro-
ceeding under his own eyes in one or the
other Of the two conventions en-
gagged in nominating the fusion ticket,
and this has, no doubt, repealed him from
lending the sanction Of the party he repre-
sents to any such ticket, He, therefore,
announces in emphatic and unmistakable
language, that the ticket which the public
are called upon to support as the fusion
ticket was not Endorsed by the Democratic
and is not entitled to the sup
port Of the people as a matter Of party
aith. And he says this in such a way as
% indicate his hope and expectation that
he Democracy will refuse to support the /
nominations made by the /
.wo conventions that set themselves up !
against the Republicans.
This smashes the corner created bv trad
ng place hunters into very small frag-
nents, and sets the people free from one
let Of bonds. VIII they use their freedom

the aid of white votes; and sufficient
number Of these can only be obtained by
making. wise selection of candidates.
The REPUBLICAN has already advised the
members Of the convention and the leaders
of the Republican party that with good
ticket we may carry the city, but it would
then be hard won victory; but with an
inferior ticket we may lose the State by
having the Republican majority in the
country overcome by the Democratic ma
jority in New Orleans. And this Demo-
cratic majority might determine the choice
OF more than one Of our Congressman,
thus exercising an influence that is des-
tined to be felt in federal politics.
Conceding that the reelection of Presi-
dent Grant is certain, it is Of equal i'm
portance to the Republican party that
Republican Congress be secured to act
with him in carrying out Republican prin-
ciples and measures. To win the Presi-
dent and lose Congress could only be
considered half victory. To make the
victory complete, we must have Repub-
ican Congress, and to gain this all hon
orable MEANS must be used to elect our
members Of Congress The loss of even
two Congressman from this State by an
unwise course on the part of the Repub-
ican Parish Convention now in session
here, which is composed in large degree
Of colored men, might materially affect
the rights and interests of colored men in
this country, by assisting to make a
Democratic Congress opposed to negro
suffrage.
Equal rights to all, secured without re-
gard to color, is Of far more importance
than public Office to few; and nothing
should be done at this particular juncture
to endanger this great privilege. No I'M
necessary risk should be run to the
detriment Of great principle that affects
the colored masses, merely to crafty
thirst for Office On the part of the few
who are likely to obtain public recogni-
ton of this kind. Let this be deeply
engraven in the minds of the delegates.
There is more at stake than the election
Of few parish and city officers.
We understand the delay in making
nominations has not been caused by
want Of harmony in the convention. A
spirit Of unity is said to predominant over
+ba man, oor,1J I,o,ro
been finished on the second day Of their
meeting if their desire to use the utmost
care to select ticket that would meet the
public appreciation had not caused them
to pause in the midst Of their labors. The
dissatisfaction that is expressed on every
side against the tickets that have already
been presented, and the manner in which
they were concocted, convinces us that if
a good choice of candidates is made by
the Republicans of this parish and city it
will make Republican victory certain all
over the State.
The object is to make such nominations
as will bring white strength to the ticket.
The coIored voters will undoubtedly do
their duty, but we must have the assist
ance of white voters to insure success to
the Republican ticket in this parish and
city, and if We can not get those that are
already within the ranks of the party, we
should not hesitate to look beyond the
ranks for them. Victory is most essential
at this time

THE PuBLIG SQUARES.

Mr. Shaw introduced resolution into
the Council Tuesday designed to prevent
the renting of the public squares and parks
for amusement purposes. Strange as it
may appear, there were members of the
Council who opposed it. In view Of the
fact that these squares have been coded to
the city for the sole and express purpose
of afording recreation to the citizens
public promenades, and many of the deeds
of cession contain a provision that if
used for any other purpose they will re-
vert to the original proprietors, this oppo-
sition to Mr.. Shaw's resolution appears as
singular as unaccountable. Whoever
heard before of the public parks and
promenades of city being converted into
circus lots? What right have the Admin
istrators to require our theatrical manag-
ers to pay a license on their legitimate
business, and then set up a circus opposi-
ton to them in the public squares Of the
city? The leasing Of the squares to such
wandering strangers is an outrage on the
city, and especially does it conflict with
the rights of the theatrical managers.
IF we remember correctly, there is al
ready an ordinance against such a use of
the squares. It was passed in Mayor Con-
ways administration, and has never been
repealed. In any event the squares should
not be put to the ignobIe uses Of the am
phitheatre.

ONE GREAT LEAK,

It is stated that the people of Louisiana
pay $50, 100000 a year for liquor. This
gives about thirty-seven dollars to every
man, woman and child in the State. To
relieve such statement of its enormity,
we will hope it is subject to the qualifca-
ton that the same includes wine and beer.
But in any way it can be viewed, it is SIM
ply monstrous. Thirty millions of dollars
a year paid by eight hundred thousand
people for guzzling. Less than this i'm
mense load of money would pay the actual
State debt One-half Of it would secure
railroads to Shreveport and Texas. So
much taken from theindustry Of the coun-
try is not only an absolute loss to the ex~
tent of the money involved, but it implies
a relative loss of time, of health, Of life
itself in drunkenness. Here is a chance
now for the true reformer. If he can do
ANYTHING to reduce the immense amount
of dissipation in Louisiana he will be to
that extent a public benefactor. But
while it is fashionable to drink, while the
usages of good society require man to
spend his last dollar for the most costly
wines rather than go without any, or
allow cheaper liquors to come to his table,
it is idle to talk in general and high
sounding phrase of reform, retrenchment,
economy or anything else but further de-
graduation.
Public sentiment has heretofore been
turned in the wrong direction. We ven
ture to say that there has been more
genuine complaint and abuse heaped upon
the Maine liquor law, and the strict and
severe regulations of the temperate, viz
tuous Puritans than upon the great evil
that costs us 30,O0O,O0O year, destroys
our youth, desolates happy homes, fills
our prisons and insane and orphan asy-
lums, controls our elections in the inte-
rests Of fraud and corruption. Probably
not paper in this city that has been
preaching reform in a general way for
the past year will dare to attack this stu
pendous, expensive enemy to the pros
perity of the State.

THE DELAY.

When the Republican Parish Conven-
ton met on Monday it was generally be
lieved, in political circles formed on the
streets, there would be little Or no delay
in organizing that body, and that the
work of the convention would be COM
pleted in day or two at farthest. Men
we're no doubt led to this conclusion from
the fact that the Republican party, com
posed principally Of colored voters in this
parish and city, is known to be united for
the advancement Of Republican principles
through the agency Of competent and trust
worthy men. The want of harmony in the
ranks Of the opposition, and the protracted
sessions Of conventions held to bring about
union Of their forces, and the final fail
ure to accomplish anything satisfactory to
the public in the way of parish and city
ticket that could command the support Of
q majority Of the voters if the Republicans
were careful to make good nominations
have all conspired to open the eyes of the
Republican delegates to the necessity of
avoiding the rocks upon which the opposi-
ton has been shipwrecked.
The press. and the people, with but few
exceptions, are unanimous in the belief
that no ticket has yet been selected that |
anything like public approval |
as whole, or is likely to be successful, if |
the Republican convention acts judi
ciously. Admitting that the Republicans
IF this parish and city are well organized,
md, SO far as the co1ored vote is concerned,
unit, they can not have success without

The only bankable political capital Mr..
L. A. Witt is credited with on the books
of the public is the solitary fact that he
did nothing wrong during the brief term
he served in the Legislature in 1868 and
1869. A number of Democrats wrecked
themselves during the sessions of the first
Legislature elected under the new consti-
tuition, but Mr. Witt was saved from the
sad fate Of his contemporaries, not by
what he accomplished, but by what he left
undone. This is a negative sort Of reputa-
ton that large number of great men
have consented to live upon because it re-
quires no very hard work to fulfill its
requirements, but it is not the sort
of a reputation man ought to have
who is selected for the purpose Of
leading New Orleans out of her diff
culties. Passive politicians are never
reformers, but are only calculated to man
age affairs after strong and practical men
have brought them into order and routine.
Mr.. Witt has never suggested, to our
knowledge, single public measure cal
cuIated to improve the condition Of the
city. His ability is devoted especially to
helping his party, which means some
thing besides the public interest, as every
reasonable man can testify. We have
never heard MIR. Witt utter any sentiment
that the public thought worth treasuriDg,
nor has be been known as the opponent of
any special legislation such as we had such
an abundance Of The people, therefore
are not indebted to Mr. Witt in any par
ticuIar that We can discover, but, on the
contrary, they have an account against
him in this that he abused his time and
talent in helping party that was injuring
the State while he should have been help
ing the State.itself With reasonable peo-
pie this account would suffice to defeat
Mr. Wilt.
