JUDGE HENRY G. DIBBLE.

That the convention yesterday unani-
mously nominated Judge Dibble men,
Der of Congress from the second district
of Louisiana is fact generally known to
our readers. Other good men were bal
loted for, but the choice finally fell as we
have recorded, and the wise action of our
delegates can not be questioned. At this
time Judge Dibble needs no eulogium from
US. His record is good one, and is
known to our people. 1t can be said Of
him that he grew to manhood in this
community, for he was quite young when
he left the Union army here. He studied
law, was admitted to the bar, and by
his own exertions and natural talents as
an advocate, gained lucrative practice in
New Orleans Here he was elevated to a
judgeship of district court. He has not
been prominent as political leader, but
has been keenly alive to the interests OF
the Republican party. His patriotism
and devotion to country and human
liberty can not be questioned. His
manned limb, souvenir for battle field
memory, speaks most eloquently for
him in that respect. He stands in
Louisiana as Governor Noyes stood in
Ohio, lame in limb, and carrying always
his war record with him, but perfect and
strong in intellect and integrity. As he
has fought his way up unaided, and edu-
Gated and made for himself an enviable
name as man and a jurist, under Cir
cumstances which would have disheart-
ened many another young man, so, we
believe, will he distinguish himself in the
next Congress. His interests are the in
terests of this people, and we shall not be
disappointed in his ability, energy and
success as Representative.

DICTATOR IMAGINATION.

The mercurial Assembly Of France finds
itself to-day in a singular position, de-
.feated in its ends by its own machina-
tons. It finds itself with muzzled
press, and subdued monarchy most dis
tasteful. Anything to beat NJ. Theirs has
proven everything to beat both mon
archy and the republic. The case seemed
a desperate one. Theirs was an avowed
republican, and with him for leader
republicanism was every day growing
stronger, and the chances for re-estab
lishment of the throne were fading away.
1t was necessary to strip him of popular
ity and power, and put in his stead a
President more pliable, one who for
the present would seem to be a re-
publican, yet who would stihe the
growth of republicanism. The man least
Objectionable and with most strength
appeared in the person of Marshal Mac
Mahon. He had been faithful mon
archist, he was popular, and could control
the army. In him seemed centred all the
qualities lacking in NJ. Theirs The AS
sembly saw in the old Marshal only the
soldier, one ready to obey orders, and
whose only ambition was to be the idol of
the grand army, with decorations of honor
upon his breast-a man who would serve
without aspiring to rule. Under the cir
cumstances, it was not difficult thing to
depose NJ. Theirs, and the Assembly made
MacNIahon President of the republic with
a rule limited to seven years dura-
ton. In making up his cabinet, it soon
appeared the Assembly had fguered with
out the slate of the Marshal. He had
been indicted into Office absolutely, and
without having deposited with the Assem-
bly, what Warmoth would have required
an undated resignation.
Yielding to the people, France over
threw monarchy and exiled her Emperor
yielding to the willy politicians she has
overthrown her republic and established
what? Dictatorship.
The feeling of being the first man in
the nation has made new man of the
old Marshal He is evidently tired of the
battledoor and shuttlecock form of gov.
ernment-this to-day and that tomorrow
With the army at his back and no force in
front, by the grace of MacMahon he will
be at least seven years ruler. Mon
archy has lost the old-time relish for bis

THE STATE cENTRAI COMMITTEE.


No insignifica mt part of the work to be
done during the coming campaign is to
be performed by the State Central Com
mittee. In the convention yesterday the
reorganization of this committee was
commenced, new members being chosen
for each congressi onal district members,
too, of tact, energy and experience. who
will enter with spirit upon the discharge
of their duties. So far twenty-four men,
bers of the committee have been desig-
mated, and the convention placed in the
hands of President Packard authority to
designate six more to be appointed at
large. The convention with commendable
judgment adopted resolution continuing
Hon. S. B. Packard as chairman Of the
committee-a position he has held since
the first Republican victory in Louisiana,
and where he has done SO much to retain
the party in power by his prudent coun-
sells, careful application to details, deci-
sive action in cases of emergency and
generous IoIDealduCe WHICH, lutoAAaA uAA0A-
ences have arisen in the party. All of
these traits were most successfully
brought into exercise during the sessions
of the convention, and the factious war
that was made against him has served
only to cement him more firmly in the
confidence of all Republicans. Under his
leadership, and with the cordial co-opera-
ton of his able associates, We do not see
why victory should not be ours.

WHITE MEN THREATENED.

The Democratic par y, judging from
its organ, the Bulletin, not content with
preventing black men from voting unless
they vote the Democratic ticket, is about
to try its bullying policy upon white men
also. Witness the following:
THE BUTCHERS.
1t is we'll for our people to know that a
large number Of the butch hers of POydras
Market marched in body to late meet
ing of the Third Ward Radical c LIB and
participated in the deliberations and voted
for delegates to the convention.
If these men, who live by the patronage
of our citizens, are reinforcing and abetting
our enemies, their names should be known.
Now that the crusade has fairly opened
against fraud and usurpation every means
should be taken to starve the enemy out.
Be careful where you spend your money.
We have already warned the public
that the attempt to intimidate, if success
full, would proceed from color to class;
but the bullying party has not waited for
success, but has anticipated it. How do
these butchers relish this dictation? AS
for starving them out, however, that, we
think, will not be easy.

vidual ambition or personal apprehension;
if there were outside efforts to SOW dis
traction in its counsels or to roll before
the eyes Of individual cupidity the golden
apple which has sometimes swerved
weak men of every party from the
straightforward course, all such consider
atoms were met, resisted and excluded
from the Republican councils. The con-
vention made itself understood. 1t leaves
the sincerity of its principles and the in
tegrity Of its acts beyond question.
We can not impress too strongly upon
the country constituency the high moral
stand taken by the convention. The critic
rion Of character established by their State
ticket, the grave admonitions to legisla-
tive and official corruptionists and the de-
claration that the national and State Repub-
lican party will neither countenance nor
tolerate any corrupt or equlvocal
practice in the name or on account OF
the party, combine to throw upon all local
constituencies an obligation to follow the
admirable example which the State con-
vention has set before them.

litical intolerance We have no space for
an essay, but claim that the prosperity Of
America is due to the immigration OF such
people and opening to them the avenues
of accumulation and ambition. In Amer
lea all these laborers would support the
government with arms. In England they
are cut off and kept in enmity by the
degradation of poverty and ignorance.
The theory of the White League here is
is identical with that of the landlord
of England. Keep the laborer poor and
ignorant. clock him out" says the
Ohio Creole on the Teche. Turn the key
of the fields upon him. Pour saucer votre
patrie il .faut renroyer les negres. Par Ia
.fairn, Toni,nal lie plus .feroce est dompts. To
save gour country you must discharge the
negroes, The most ferocious animal is
conquered by hunger, says some French
adviser, ignorant that the negroes make
all the food and money crops of Louisiana.
Such is the madness with which we
copy the ruinous errors of Europe. The
people of Louisiana would do better to
follow the example of other American
States which endeavor to improve the
laborer into better citizenship by educa-
ton, and the aid Of all agencies which
improve his productive capacity. The
lockout league against the white laborer
is identical in spirit with the White
League against labor in Louisiana, and
the division of classes in England is as
absolute as the division of colors in LOUISE
ana. The unfortunate locked out have
not vet advanced as far as civil
rights bill, but if they go on
travelling around they will hear of this
American institution also, and then the
English white laborer may demand adj
mission to any place he can pay into, and
when he strikes for a seat in the car or
pew in the church with the nobleman,
and may have hope of all the bad en-
ployers dying soon and suddenly, and
good masters, ''raised up by the Lord,
taking their places.
And such are the governments and
such the society preferred by many living
under the shelter of republican equality.
The American White League and the
British lockouter are identical in prin-
ciples and purpose.
