Speaking of the proceedings of a
large Democratic mass meeting held
i'll New Orleans Thursday night, the
Republican says:
One Of the resolutinos adopted at
the White l4eaguega altering last night
locks like a timely preparation for the
inevitable defeat in store for them.
itGvlrtnally amounts to Reputation
OF the election in advance of its occur
renee, and q notice of non conformity,
whether-i it go for or against the Con-
servatlye party. People are gener-
ally thought to be very desperate in
deed, when they give notice that they
will not abide by the decision whether
It be tor them OF against them. Men
who expect favorable verdicts rarely
pledge themselves in advance to an
peal IN any event. Yet the Conser-
vatlve party of this city, or what
there was Of it at the City Hail last
night, have done this very thing.
They have given notice that the com
ing election will decide nothing, no
matter which way it goes.
We intend to claim the benefit of
this admission after the second of
November, in case any Conservative
candidate shall be returned as cleo
ted.

The Lee Memorial Monument.

The latest advices from the Lee Memorial
tine, the sculptor, having procured from
Vermont a block of pure white marble, is

stretched by the side Of his sword, his right
arm laid across his breast. He wears full
Confederate uniform, including boots and
gauntlcts, and light drapery covers nearly
the whole FORM The appearance is natural
and graceful, indicating peaceful slumber
rather than death. .... .. 70,
The monument, when surrounded with
this fine work of art, will be lasting mem
orial to one of Virginia's noblest sons and

Intimidation of Voters.

Considering the attitude now as
sumed by the enemies Of Republican
ism throughout the State, az illustra-
ted by the latest movement in Shreve-
port, it, seems proper and our duty to
reproduce ut this time certain sec
tons of the laws of the State of Lou
isiana, particularly Of act M. 50, APP
proved November 20, 1872. They
read. u 81. .- a-r.--s =
SEC. 81: That any person who shall by
threats of discharge from employment, of
Withholding wages, or prescription in bust
ness, influence or attempt to influence any
voter III the casting Of his vote at any cleo
ton, shall be deemed guilty Of misdemean-
or. and upon conviction thereof shall DO
punished by fine Of not less than five hun
tlred dollars, which shall go to the school
fund of the parish, and be imprisoned in the
parish prison for not less than three
months. 81. .r .... -..
SEC. So, That any person who shall dis
charge from his employment any laborer,
employee. tenant or mechanic, who shall
have been working for such person under
contract, written or oral, for a specified
time before such time shall have expired,
or who shall withhold from any laborer,
employe, tenant or mechanic, any part of
thC WdSts uuo W SUCH lhbOfeF, bIDpfoyey
tenant or mechanic, on account Of any vote,

fine of not less than five hundred dollars
one half Of which shall go to the school fund
OF the parish III which the offen-e was COM
n,itted, and by imprisonment in the parish
prison for not less than three months.
Enthusiastically as this law is written,
it has been, is now being, and will
continue to he, violated. Let all af-
fectcd by this statute be warned in
good time. Those prosecuted should
file atiidavits setting forth their
grievances, without fear or favor, for
justice can not remain blind, and
truth must prevail in land where
equal civil rights are guaranteed to
all law-abiding citizeus.-N. 0. Re

1t is thought absurd for a man to
sit and wait for trade. Micawbers in
business do not, in fact, make large
fortunes. " But, cry some men,
can not leave my store to go about
and stir up trade" Perhaps, indeed,
he can not, but he can send out his
winged messengers Of enterprise in
the shape of such lively advertise
ments as will cause people to " stop
and talk" with him before buying
elsewhere, Advertisements ar. good

The People Of the United States.

Arrangements are steadily progressing for
the Centennialcele bration and international
Exhibition. The principal buildings are in
course of erection The President of the
United States, as requested by Congress at
the last session, has ex tended cordial in
vitation to all other nations to join in this
work, and a large number Of these have
already signifed their intention to accept
that invitation. Exhibition space is being
applied for from this and foreign countries,
and every manifestation on. the subject
seems to indicate eminent success for our
Centennial display. But, to carry out this
undertaking on scale due to the glorious
event to be COMMUNICATED, additional funds
will be needed, for while Congress has cheer
fully thrown around this patriotic work the
national prestige, and promptly promoted
it by appropriate laws, it did not furnish the
necessary capital; that part was left for you,
and not doubling that, inspired by the mem
cries of the past and the blessings of the
present, you will cheerfuily perform it,, and
to the end that it may be convenient for YOU
to do so. we have adopted plan for raising
revenue which will be brought before you
by a bureau created for that purpose, and
acting under the general direction of the
Hon. William Bigler, a member of this
Board, and who is commended to your re-
spectiul consideration in the performance
OF his arduous duties. In addition TO the
use OF this plan any person can subscribe
for one or more shares of the Centennial
stock at ) 10 each. by remitting payment for
the same i'll post-ottice drafts or check to
Frederick Fri.ley, Treasurer No. 9O4 Walnut
street, Philadelphia, for which certificates
will be promptly returned.

REPUBLICAN SUPERIORITY Con-
FEssED.-The New York Tribune.
commenting on the inability of the
Democrats of New England to see and
improve their opportunities to regain
the populareonfidence, says: % Tenn
porary reverses have sobered the
party of the Administration and
taught its leaders to correct their err
rors. 1t can be said of it, indeed,
that no party in the history of the
country was ever so sensitive to pub
nc opinion, none ever so readily
ooeyed the helm of popular senti-
ment as did the Republican party for
the first twelve years Of its existence.
Whether that record can be contin-
ued - an open question. On the
other hand, the effect of the most fri
fling successes upon the Democratic
party, instead Of steadying them with
a sense of responsibility, has been
rather to set them crazy with the de-
sire for spoils and intoxicated them
with the plumber. There has been no
exception to this rule. The unpreju-
diced observer of our politics can not
help remal'king that in the sense of
being discreet, prudent, clear headed,
the present dominant party has inva-
riabl.y shawn itselfssuperior to its OPP
panents.Hn aFtsFtsi'

States and has been found wanting in
the essential clements Of prosperity,
loyalty, honesty, ability.
In a word, the Republican party
believes II progression, and pledged
to the elevation Of the nation by the
elevation of its citizens. 1t is opposed
to prescription, persecution, bigotry.
Its creed is the greatest individual
freedom compatible with the safety
of the Republic. Liberal in its princi
pies, humane in it's measures, thor
n"ehiy loyal i'll all its purposes, and
trim IN its resolves to maintain the
Union at all hazards and any cost. it
