The tact is generally recognized by lead
ing politicians upon both sides, that gem
cral election viii probably take place in
next November.
Tie Radical party III this State, ever visi-
laMt, not only IN appropriating to It's own
use al portable property, but in the work OF
preparation beforehand for the seizure of all
spoils, has already organized in this city,
and in every ward are prepared for the cam
paign. This readiness and watchfulness Of
course means business. They intend to hold
the State, and are now organizing III order
to preserve their power.
Il honest; voters do not mean to yield
without a strug lie, they should initiate the
tactics Of their enemies, and get ready in
time for the strife. Forearmed is fore
warned. The prudent soldier never allows
his arms to become rusty especially when,
whether we wish it or no, the fray is near at
hand.

Lingers He Still2

III spite of the sensation made by the ex-
piring throes Of the Legislature, and in spite
of numerous complimentary personals, in
which clever, talented, and popular gentle
men for whom awaited a brilliant future
were sent to their homes with words of good
cheer, we regret to notice that a good many
of the aforesaid talented and popular Legis-
lators hang around our street corners and
bar-rooms still. See them dressed like pros
porous sportsmen, though in clothing much
less honestly acquired, as they promenade
up and down! Why the police allow these
suspicious characters any more than they
do professed burglars and thieves to Turk
around, is more than we can conceive. They
should be ordered to quit the town-to
stand not on the order of their going, but to
90 at once. And in case they are allowed to
remain, they should be made to give bond
md good security that the public interest
hould suffer no detriment by their presence.

A Plea for Justice.

We are pleased to learn-and we know
our pleasure will be shared by the public
that the Right Rev. Bishop Wilmer will
this morning, at l o'clock, present to Judge
Woods, of the United States Circuit Court,
a petition for the release on bond of the
Grant parish prisoners.
These gentlemen have been subjected to
long Imprisonment and many harships al
ready, they have stood uncomplaningly and
with much moral herOisms, an arduous trial,
during which no stone was left unturned to
secure their conviction on the charge of
murder. Clouds of negro witnesses APP
peared to swear away their lives, and the
most tiendish ingenuity was employed to
snare each and every one Of them in the
artfnl meshes of an abominable law.
Not all the artfal arguments, however, of
the able but bitterly partisan District Attor-
ney, nor his invocation of Divine wrath
upon the unfortunate prisoners, no, not even
the ruling of the Court itself-which was
almost Il charge to find a verdict of guilty
could bring the jury to condemn men for
banding together to protect their wives and
their children, and to prevent violent mon
grel mob from inaugurating horrible mas
sacre of the whites.
The jury listened patiently to the lengthy
testimony, and the majority of them were
that the prisoners were only
guilty OF observing that first great law of
"a which Is far nhnya oil low e D.,
;reation-sef preservation.
We trust the good Bishops plea may be
but we fear the worst.

Trade with South America.

lean coasts, especially Rio Janeiro, tie 81.
/ Louis Democrat advocates line q sailing
vessels as better suited Tor the business.
1 Has the Democrat considered the difference
! between the direct route steamer can take
and the one that sailing vessel must fol-
low or the difference in time between ports I.
A little examination of these points will, we
think settle the question.
The great matter however. is not so much
in what way to carry the frcishts back
wards and forwards, but to get them here
at all in any way. New Orleans ought to
receive the larger part OF the coffee pro-
duet of South America. We are nearer to
Brazil than New York or Baltimore, and
can, by means of the river and railroads
distribute the coffee through the West
cheeper and sooner than by any other route;
while in the way of return freights, the
flour Of St. Louis, and other Western pro-
ducts can be placed here at more
uilaIl UWO-lDHuS less lIelSHu Charges ludH
in New York These facts are conclusive as
to the eligibility of New Orleans as the
best coffee market in the country, but it is
hopeless to expect any aid in our develop
ment from Eastern capital The sooner we
begin to go abroad and invite the European
enterprise and capital here, the quicker the
city will recnperate; but we take just here
the opportunity to say, that of all our in
sane ruinous taxation there is none so ut
terly absurd and suicidal as the tax
on capital. Who will bring money here
and invest it in business when if he earns
ten per cent. profit by its use, nearly
five per cent. goes for taxs9 1t is like set
ting fire to your house to warm yourself. |
Yet even with this tax incubus, such are our
natural facilities for this South American |
business that European merchants are be-
ginning to invest in its prosecution, and the
prospects are frightening for permanent
line Of steamships from this port in the
South American trade. Now let our own
people take hold. If too poor to take stock,
At lsast help to make consignments. Try a
venture in hour, farming implements and
such matters, and invest the proceeds in
coffee, cocoa, and southern products. Thus
| traffic will arise gradually increasing to
arge proportions.

Partisan Judges.

We cannot conceive any combination al
that can justify or even palliate political
action or political discourses from one oc-
cupylng judicial position. In the exercise
OF his vocation he must sedulously avoid the
turmoil OF politics, else the purity of his
ermne be soiled in the dirty mire of parti
sanship. Partisanship is inconsistent with
juuicial purity. Were a judge when off the
bench to take part in political affairs. it
would be highly disreputable; but what
language can be too severe in condemnation
OF political harangue from the bench
itself9
These observations have been elected by
a decision of Judge Cullom, as reported in
the Republican of Sunday last, upou a
point OF law: on the challenge of the array
of petty jurors. Without dwelling upon the
accuracy of his decision although believ-
ing it to be erroneous, we would call special
attention to the extraordinary harangue-
we cannot dignity it by the name of a de
cisiul--delivered by the Judge on that occa-
sion. 1t would be msapplication of terms
10 cal II a political discourse; it was parti
san harangue in the worst taste. and in
great part irrelevant to tho question at
issue; with no more pertjnence in relation
to the points taken by the counsel, that il

in the Southern States is an increase of tn,
white population. We doubt whether fo
generations to come we may look Tor this
increase from the Northern and Eastern
States, for the people there, while they
gave their blood and treasure freely for the
redemption of the negro from bondage, are
yet so bitterly prejudiced against him as ia
seek their fortunes on the bleak plains OF
the Northwest, there to endure all the hard
| ships and privatiOns of the pioneer, rather
than seek comfortable homes in the genial
South, where they may come in contact with
the freedmen. What is wanted for the re-
demption of the South is immigration, not
so much of day laborers as of small farmers
the Continent, paying yearly rent which
would purchase in fee simple better lands in
every State from the Pennsylvania line
down to Florida and New Mexico Abortlve
attempts have been made from time to time
by many Southern States to induce this i'm
migration. immigration boards have been
established and political partsans more or
less qualified appointed to office; but as far
as we can learn these boards, while they
have drawn their quarterly salaries with
great punctuality, have utterly failed to
draw any appreciable number of Immigrants.
From conversations we have had with
friends living, or who have travelled in the
country, we conclude that agriculture in the
cotton region in this State has been put
upon much more satisfactory basis than
has heretofore been known since the war. |

A bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature Of New Jersey which authorizes the
police force Of all railroads to arrest with
out written warrants all idle, intoxicated
persons frequenting the premises or cars of
such companies, who obstruct or annoy the
travelling public by their presence or con
duct, or by profane or indecent language or
behavior. If person msbehave on rail
road train he may be removed to the bag
gage car and there kept until he can be
turned over to an officer. Passengers refls-
ing to pay fare shall not be elected from
the train, except at a next station, but may
he arrested and turned over to an officer at
the next station These are wholesome
provisions, except, perhaps the last which
authorizes the turning over of recusant
passenger to offer at the next station. This
should in some way be qualified, so that the
party may not be delayed at points away
from home or destination. If the company
is ready with its complaint and for hear
ing Of the matter in dispute at the next
station" the passenger might be sup
posed to have an equal chance, other
wise the detention in most cases be |
equal to coercion. 1t is presumed that re-
fusal of payment is the result Of some diff I
ference on some point Of fact or question of
right. Unpaid railroad fares are debts, and
should DO collected as are other debts, with
out any sort of coercion on the part of the

punish.
