War i'm a Factory.

A great sensation has been produced in
Russia. says the Eastern Budget, by a mu-
tiny OF wOrkmcn which took place the
other day i'll private factory at kren-
holm, in EsthOnia. According to the ac-
counts given by the Russian papers of
this event, the superintendent Of the fac
tory, in which upwards of s, ven thous-
and worlmen are employed, are practi-
cally removed from all State control, the
nearest police and judicial authorities be-
ing fitty-three versts off. SThe factory
regulations are made by the proprietor,
and bear very hardly on the men. The
slightest neglect on the part of a workman
is punished by a reduction of his wages,
and as these reductions are effected in
very arbitrary manner many OF the labor
ers are left without sufficient means to
procure the most ordinary necessaries.
For more serious offenses the punishment
is a logging. as many as sixty blows be-
ing frequently administered. The hours
of labor are from five in the morning till
eight in the evening, and an interval OF
ffty-five minutes only is allowed for din
ner. The sanitary condition of the factO-
ry, too, is so defective that illness is fire.
quent and the cholera has made great raw
ages among the wOrkmen-22O of them
having died from this epidemic i'm two
months. At length the workmen decided
to leave the factory in body; but this
determination having come to the ears of
the authorities. the Governor of Esthonia
was appealed to and he effected compro-
mise by which several concessions were
made to the laborers. The proprietor of
the factory, desiring to re-establish the
old regulations, bribed two Of the wOrkmen
to agifate among the others for revival
of them. This so provoked the workmen
generally that they attacked the sup rim
tendents, and, after doing great deal of
damage to the factory, struck work.
Thirty OF them were upon this tried by
the provincial tribunal, and twenty-seven
were found guilty. Four were condemn
ell to eight years imprisonment with hard
labor in the mines, one to six years, one
to four years, and the rest to less severe
nuniShmeutS of various kinds

Something in Us After All.

OUR stubborn cousin, across the water,
who once saw nothing good in this ''blars-
ted country, has kindly consented of late
to study our geography, and to bestow
on us an occasional cOmmendatOry note.
John will still persist in hunting buffaloes
on the prairies of Ohio and grizzly bears
i'll the Alleghanies, but we must not ex-
pect him to familiariZe himself all at once
with our vast domain; nor should
we find fault with him if he does misplace
now and then mushroom town that has
not yet found its proper position in the
atlas. John is honest at heart, and is al
ways ready to acknowledge the good
points in his neighbor, when he becomes
satisfied that they are good points, and
not shams. The 1st decade of years has
opened his eyesRO the relative national
Importance of his kins men, and he begins
to discover qualities i'm them that he never
recognized before. He realizes that there
is something in them hes DIES ''bigness ;"
that country that boasts of sixty thous-
and miles OF railway and of twice as many
of telegraph, which can feed its own peO-
pie and the people of Europe combined.
and which can muster a million of armed
volunteers at short notice to protect its
rights, is country to be respected. But
John has lately made a new discovery
that his cousins have built up the 'most
astounding city of modern times" Rome
is, in many respects. a more wonderful
city than London, and Pekin is a ''marvel-
Gus metropolis - but tor astonishing
qualities, the palm must be awarded to
New York. New York, says the London
Telegraph, has become thoroughly cosmo-
politan, and may vie with Dublin or Cork
or Hamburg or Berlin, in the numerical
strength of its Irish and German deniZens.
Yet its vast population is, perhaps, the
least wonderful thing about the city.
The really surprising feature of New
York is its imperial character. 1t is not
the capital of the Union; it is not even
the manufacturing center of the republic.
1t is the seat of no legislative body. 1t
can scarcely boast of one splendid public
building; yet for wealth and magnifi-
cence, for luxury and splendor, for ele-
gance and refinement, it may rank as al
ways equal and in many respects as supe-
rior, to the most ancient and most famous
capitals of Europe.''

Miscellaneous Selections.
Ma ME
BY EDWARD RESAUD.

BY EDWARD RENAUp.
My life's sore tangled skein,
So weak, and worn, and vain,
She holds in her white hand
She is SO passing fair
That each wild, wanton air
Must kiss her where she stands.
Yet Lob, weary task
Must watch, and wait, and ask,
While other eyes may see
Ni-l Themselves in thine-md mief
She has such wondrous eyes
The saints in paradise
Must veil their own from her
Around her snow-whitc neck
Great pearls, like foam-belis, tieck
The lustrous depths that stir
With rhythmic rise and fall,
To hide her heart from all
Ihold hidden key
To ope the gates, ma nIe'
She starts, for she doth hear
My loving footstep near;
She turns to bid me stay;
With cheeks that burn for joy,
With looks half kind, half coy
This is her hearts sweet way!
So am nothing loath,
But answer oath for oath,
And Ilnger lovingly
In silken chainsNmd mic!
So, sweet, when we grow old,
When locks OF glistening gold
Have turned TO silver sheen,
When youths sweet seasons seem
One dear, delightful dream,
Love still shall crown thee queen;
Our happy days shall run
From rising sun to sun,
And loves rare boon shall be
For you alone, ma mic!
I;ut now is youths glad time,
Loves Spring of pride and prime,
And all sweet things that are
swift, swift the moments ny
Beneath this purple sky
That holds loves silver star
NV hearf-weak, trembling thing
Holds but silver string
Thai thrills, for love of thee,
To thy sweet touch, mic,

By authority vested in me, and in pursuance to
the following resolution unanimously adopted at
a meeting of the State Central Committee of the
Republican party, held March 10, 1872, at the
committee rooms, to wit
Resolved, That the president of this committee
be and is hereby authorized to call a State Con-
ventOn of the Republican party Of Louisiana to
meet at the Mechanics Institute, in the city of
New Orleans, at twelve O'Clock NJ. on Thursday,
May O. 1872, for the purpose of eleeting delegates
to attend the National Republican Convention
called by the National Republican Executive Com
mittee, to be held at Philadelphia, June 5, 1872.
Also, to dominate a Governor Lieutenant Gov
ernOr, Secretary of State, Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, Superintendent of Public Education, At
tOrney General and Representatives in Congress,
and to transact such other business as may come
before 1t.
do hereby call a convention of the Republican
party of Louisiana, to be held at Mechanics Insti-
tute, in New Orleans, at twelve o'clock NJ. on
TUESDAY, May %, 1872, to lect delegates to the
National Republican Convention to be held at Phil
adelphia June 5, 1872, and also to nominate Gov
ernOr, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State,
Auditor of Public Accounts, Attorney General and
Representatives in Congress, and to transact such
other business as may come before it.
The basis of representation to said convention
shall be as follows, viz:
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-14


The election shall be held under the supervision
of the Central Reform Clubs of each ward, and at
their places of meeting-all subordinate clubs in
the various wards, voting with the Central Club
and credentials to the delegates elect shall be is
sued by the president end secretary of the central
clubs only.
It is hoped that every citizen who honestly de-
sires a reform i'll the administration of the State
and city government will give his support to the
Reform movement, for 1t marks crisis which
must be averted or the State will be ruined.
In four years the State debt has been increased
to the extent of coo, and now reaches the
enormous sum of SAL 900 600. The debt of the city
of New Orleans has been increased to $4,000 900,
making an aggregate State aud city indie btedness
of more than 800 600 600 or more than One.f0urth
of the total assessed uatiOn of taxable property
in the State
The aggregate percentage of taxation has been
increased from one and half per cent in former
years to more than five per cent under the present
state government.
Every occupation profession trade or calling is
taxed for Ii 5ense to such an enormous extent as
almost creates prohibition.
The bonds and securities of the State and city
are peddled in the financial markets of the coun-
try without any settled value, and the State has
been brought TO the verge of bankruptcy; her
credit destroyed, and her people compromised. As
a consequence of these dep Orable evils, the com
merce of the State and city is AralY2ed.
Capital seeking Investment is diverted else
where.
Immigration to the State is discouraged
The great agricultural interest of the State is
crippled in its onward march
And our people are suffering under a burden Of
political Affections unparalleled in the history of
the commonwealth
rectiOn of these evils-an honest and econOmi cal
administration OF the affairs of the state and city
government, and it confidently relies upon the
honesty, intelligence and patriotism Of the people

Address of the Parish Executive Com.
mittee of the Reform Party OF Louisiana TO the
Voters of Orleans Parish.-ROOms' of the Parish
Executive Reform Committee No. p CarOndelet
street, New Orleans, May g. l872.-FOr the purpose
OF carrying out the great reform movement inau-
gurated at the mass meeting in front of the City
Hall, February II, 1872 and giving emphasis to the
principles enunciated by the Provisional State
Central Committee of the Reform Party of Louis
iana and for the further purpose of making plat
form and nominating ticket upon which all true
citizens unite in the support of honest for
official position, State convention has been called
to assemble in the city Of New 0rleaus on the
fourth day of June, 1872
1t is necessary that the fullest rep esentatiOns
shall be obtained in that assembly, to the end that
the evils and misfOrtuRes by which we are bur-
dened may be fully considered, and properly
brought to the attention of the people, and such
measures taken as will inaugurate remedial pol
icy, and bring about the redemption Of the state.
The time has come when every citizen should real
ize that the highest duty he to the State is TO
exercise the privilege of the elective franchise; and
the first step in political reform should be to cast
the ballot lnteligrntly, honestly and for the best
interests of the State. The real honest verdict of
the people is always just for there is implanted in
the breast of every man. whatever may be his posi-
ton in society Inherent respect fer justice and
right and although bad men may attain to power
through corrupt means, an honest healthy public
sentiment will always furnish the means to dis
place them.
1t is to the people of Louisiana, without dis
tncton of race or color that the Reform patty ap-
peals for such vote as will redeem the State from
the hands of corrupt adventures, and restore her
to her former proud position, and to the end that
the viii of the people shall be fully expressed it is
recommended by the parish committee that there
be an immediate registration of the RefO' M voters
in the various wards of the city and parish, under
the auspices of the central ward organization s. and
subject to such rules and regulations as may be
prescribed by said ward organizations, and it is
quested that an election be held on SATURDAY,
June l. 1872 between the hours of IL NJ and P. NJ.
in all the wards of the CITY, for the purpose of
choosing delegates to the State Reform COnven-
ton, on the basis of the following apportionment

RECOVERY OF STOLEN PRoPERTY.-Yes-
terday, Special Officer Donovan arrested
Henry Burrofsky, living at the corner of
Miro and Poydras streets, charged with re-
ceiving certain goods, knowing the same to
be stolen.
The goods in question were composed of
railroad materials to the value of from 500
to $500, the property of the jackson Rail
road Company, which were mostly discOv-
cred at the prisoners residence.
Several articles were also found on the
premises of NJ. Schwartz, on Magazine
street, and identified by Captain Kelly, of
the night watch at the jackson railroad
depot, as belonging to the railroad COM
pany, which Schwartz had purchased of
