TOO MUCH CONCEIT.

If the nominations made for State Off
GERS by the Democratic and Reform COM
mittees mean anything, they mean that
the men put forward are the best in the
State. If, in consideration of harmony in
the Liberal movement they refuse to re-
NIT these nominations to the August con-
vention, it means that no better men can
be found This we submit, from their
stand point, is a fair presumption; OF
their action carries with it the inevitable
inference that, having gotta chance, they
will forego no opportunity that fairly
promises them the spoils of office.
On the first hypothesis, they are con
ceited to degree that premises little for
their good sense. The second inference
leaves little room for congratulation on
the score of honesty. But q medium
view will perhaps hit more accurately the
facts in the case.
1t is more than probable that the men
composing the united State ticket are
vain over the unexpected good fortune of
being put so prominently before the peo-
pie. With some men notoriety is equiva-
lent to reputation. They have enjoyed
for a brief season the character of promi-
nent men; and with the glittering goal still
before them, they have neither heart nor
patriotism to turn their backs upon it
They refuse to listen altogether to the
idea that defeat in the present emergency
means disaster for all time. The Custom
house party, if successful now, will hold a
permanent lease of power, and such
an evil should be avoided by all possible
means. If sens bic men, they can not
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-30

prove indifferent to the fact that it viii
require all the available resources of the
opposition to carry the election against
them. The large element of conservative
voters included in the Liberal movement
are unwilling to risk their party fealty
and the political measures they deem es-
sential to an irresponsible body Of men.
The united State ticket is responsible
to nobody. They are certified to by no
body and no convention nor politically
influential body of men indorse them.
They have no guarantees except their own
weight of character They have had little
or no legislative or governmental expe-
rience, and can appeal to the confidence
of the public only with the simple ex-
preston, I ,0ant office, help me to get it.
This is their platform and history. Who
gave them any ether? Certainly not the
committees, for they were unauthorized
to do anything of the sort; neither did
the Democratic and Reform conventions,
for they adjourned without making selec-
tons, or, to speak more accurately, they
recalled those they had made, and put
them in allegiance. They remain there yet.
The Liberals are looked to as the re-
sponsible opposition in the State. They
are in harmony with the national party, and
their nominations will be made in strict
accordance with the principles adopted at
Cincinnati and reafirmed at Baltimore. It
is the neucleus around which all the ele-
ments opposed to the Radical party are
gathering, and by whom the fight for State
ascendeney and pure government must be
made. This outside and irresponsible
ticket may become an impeachment to us,
but it will never rise to the dignity of an
opposition to the Radicals. They encour-
age it to remain in the field, perceiving
that it will be no foe to them, but STUN
bling block to US. The. few votes that
this ticket will carry of, may do the work
of evil 1t may give the Radical party
the ascendency they can not otherwise OBJ
tain, and in their success sink irretreiva-
bly, the fortunes of the State, and all hope
of reform and pure government in Lou
isiana.
1t is a great responsibility they are as
suming aud one they should look well to,
before fully carrying out

ELEVENTH HOUR REPENTANCE.

1t seems to be well authenticated that
the managers of Grants political inter
ests, who center around Washington, have
seriously taken up the task of harmon
izing the difficulties which have distracted
and divided the Republican party in near
ly every State, North and South AS
these dissensions in nearly every instance
are directly traceable to the intermedding
of national officials in purely local affairs,
and as this oficious intermeddling has
been mainly in Grants personal interest,
and been done with his more or less direct
approval, especial pressure has been
brought to bear to make him stand en-
tirely aloof for the future. His consent,
we are pretty well assured, was not diff
cult to gain, since the main purpose for
which the outrage8 upon local rights were
perpetrated was accomplished in the sue
cessfuI manipulation of the Philadelphia
convention. Having obtained the nOmi-
nation, he can well afford to sacrifice the
too trusting tools, who for his sake have
sacrificed their popularity in an effort to
''harmonize and consolidate the Republi-
can vote" in favor of his own re-elec ion.
And this sacrifice he has consented to make.
That Louisiana is an especial object Of in
terest, We have excellent reasons for know
ing; but what can be accomplished in this
direction is yet tan unknown quantity. Much
will depend-very much indeed-upon the
action of the Liberal convention which
meets next Monday, for should wisdom
prevail in its councils a ticket will be pre-
scented for the sufrages of our people that
will win the enthusiastic support of nearly
every white Republican voter in Louisi-
ana, who is without federal employment,
and fully one-fourth, if not more of the
colored people To do this, sound and
popular Republican must head the Liberal
nominees, In fact, a Republican, in our
opinion, must be nominated for Governor,
in order to beat the Kellogg Antoine
ticket, just as and for the same reason
that Republican was nominated against
Grant-it is the only way to win. When
this is done all efforts to reunite the old
Republican party in this State may as well
come to an end at once. Should the Liber-
ais, however, not act as we have indicated,
the results of these efforts must have an
important bearing on the campaign. The
next ten days are fraught with fateful in
terest to the political and material inter-
ests of our people.
In conclusion, we distinctly wish to dis
claim any intention of threatening the
Liberal delegates as some Of our contem-
poraries unfairly charge. We simply
state our convictions, based upon, to US,
sufficient evidence in thus expressing our
views of the results Of a cer'ain course Of
action. No individual, nor can this paper,
change what we consider the inevitable
tendency Of these possible events.

JUDGE ABELL MAKES A CHARGE,

In the Criminal Court this morning
every seat was occupied, the corridor and
all the alleyways crowded The Jennie

and many lookers-on were there, impelled
by idle curiosity. Here was good OPP
portunity for a harangUe, and an unusu-
ally intellectual and appreciatiye audi
ence Judge Abel sent for the grand
jury, and his lofty brow wreathed with
clouds Of thunder proceeded to call their
attention to an article in the REPUBLICAN
Of SATURDAY. morning last, in which refer
ence was made to the singular procedure
of the judge in discharging Pierre Berlin
rom custody, upon being acquitted by the
jury of the Rochereau robbery, instead Of
remanding him back to the custody of the
sheriff to fill an unexpired term Of sen
tence hanging over him. We copy the
Picup,as's account of the affair:
Judge 4 bell, this morning, addressed the
grand jury in referenne to an editorial pub
lished IN the New Orleans REPUBLICAN, re-
hecting on him and the jury which ac-
quilted Pierre Berth and Jean Capdeville,
charged with committing burglary. Judge
Abel said that the verdict was legal, as
there WAS no particle Of evidence against
the accused. No man could be convicted

US that we ought to be credited with
uttering our own thoughts whenever it
can be made to appear that We are advo-

bad to hold Governor Warmoth amenable,
for the very act seeks to cut down and

PERSONAL JOURNALISM.


Do the Picayne and Citizens Guard
hold Governor Warmoth responsible for
what appears in the REPUBLICAN because
they are but the echo Of Kellogg or
McEnery? Is their serviity the reason of
their disbelief in our independence
When we say that thousands of conserva-
tives will not vote for McEnery who would
vote for Warmoth, and that thousands of
Republicans, ourselves being of the num-
Der, cannot be induced to vote for the
Democratic ticket by virtue of any indi-
vidual engagement the Democrats may
seek to make with the Governor, we
speak for ourselves and friends It is
plain that we do not speak for Governor
Warmotb when We say that his individual
fortunes are not the controlling sugges-
tons of our minds. We prefer his sue
cess because that means our own safety
and the continued peace and prosperity of
the State. Our own selfish desires con-
troll US in this regard. If the
Democrats were to contribute mil
lion of dollars to send Governor War
moth away, would that fact command
our applause? By no means. We are
interested in his remaining here, because
his presence inspires confidence. We feel
safe in our lives, liberties and fortunes.
We could not feel this safety under Dem
ocrat. This, then, is a matter personal to
ourselves that makes us demand War
moth. His success represents our inter-
ests, and we demand his election because
we have direct stake in the result.
Thousands Of people will vote for War
moth who could not be induced by any
other man to vote against Kellogg. Mr..
McEnery is laboring under the stupid
hope that he can catch the Republicans
who distrust Kellogg and the conserva-
tives who desire a change. He can do
nothing of the sort. Governor Warmoth
can not give McEnery one hundred votes,
simply because the men who support the
Governor distrust the Democratic nomi-
nee. They can not be traded of like sheep.
They intend to accept Kellogg if they can
not get what they want, on the principle
that small evil is better than a great one.
We feel satisfied that the Customhouse
party will do a great deal of harm to the
State if it is allowed to succeed, and that
makes US willing and anxious to defeat it;
but, on the other hand, We are satisfied
that McEnery am his crowd Of TERRIERS
would do a great deal more harm, and we
profess to be more partial to small offend
ers than to great ones. Besides, in the
event Of Kelloggs success, we shall have
a large influence in arrestng evil prac-
tees, whereas, with the success Of Nc
Emery, it would be rare bit of trick if
we did not undergo arrest ourselves the
first time We printed any fact or opinion
at variance with the chivalry of the com
munity.
We deny, therefore. Governor War
moths responsibility in the matter Of our
opinions, for the simple reason that we
have good cause for holding them indie
pendent Of every other man. and because

AN EPITAPH.

It is said that when citizen dies in
Paris among the first duties seen to by his
bereaved relatives is the writing of suit
able epitaph by a competent person. The
world must know how the defunct died,
and the sort of spiritual life he or she is
expected to pursue hereafter. Even the
process of embalming or the provision of
tomb is a secondary consideration. It
was this feeling which, doubtless, ami
mated one of the Last Ditchers few days
since; when discussing the political stu
alton he inqui red; ''What would you say
of us if we withdrew our candidates 2"
Say, replied his interlocutor, ''why we
should say you had done a very sensible
thing, and precisely what you ought to
have done some time since"
