AND TIE COCK CREW,

A singular story is told Of q farmer,
who with his former servant, was
suspected of killing q child. The
rumor took so much consistency as
to cause the Mayor to pay an inquir-
ing visit to the farmer Desault. He
found him at the table with his
ploughmen, and the matter having
been preached, Desault treated the
whole as an idle, malevolent inven-
ton. "Besides," says he, "who ac-
cuses mes Perhaps it will be that
cock next" pointing out to spark
ish chanticleer who was busily
scratching for the family grub on a
large dunghill in the farmyard.--
The phrase was scarcely finished
when cock gave sonorous crow
The farmer grew pale; the Mayor
took the providential hint, and in
spite of the reservations of Desault,
the dunghill was at once examined,
and the body of the infant discover
ed at depth of three feet, with its
head severed from its body. The
farmer and the unfortunate girl were
at once arrested.

HOPE AND MEMORY.

The old man lay down to die, and
when his soul went forth from the
body, the angels took it. And mem
DRY walked with it through the open
gate of heaven; but Hope lay down at
its threshold and gently expired, as a
rose giveth out its last orders. Her
parting sigh was like the music of q
seraph's harp. She breathed it into
the bosom Of a glorious form, and she
said 4:

WHITE LEAGUERg CLAIMS FOR FEDERAL
AID

The opposition press seems Of opinion
that it may denounce the Republican
party. its men and its principles with inn
punity here. bu. that this will not impair
the prospects Of Louisiana for obta ming
aid from Republican Congress for work
indispensable to the prosperity Of the
State. It seems to be supposed that the
Republicans elsewhere neither read nor
reason. and that press which denounces
all the Republicans Of the South as un-
worthy social or political liberation shall
have intercedence when i: appeals to
Northern Republicans for aid which they
may grant or refuse at their pleasure.
Does the Picay1ne think that the SOUP
rilous abuse Of every prominent Kepub.
lican will inspire him or others to adyo-
cate the measures in which the P;cayune
processes an interest? Is it thought that
the violence at Colfax and Coushatta and
the forcible seizure of State Offices under
a truce pending before Congress will pro-
mote the confidence Of the Northern and
Western people? None can be SO pre-
posterous as to suppose such . thing.
But the Democracy rely upon the with
drawal Of the White Leaguers as soon as
the election is over and dispatching neu-
trails and quasi Republicans to Washing
ton to solicit Republican support for the
lamentations which Louisiana now needs
SO greatly.
Let us see upon what basis this Kspub.
lican aid is claimed. The present Gov.
ernor undoubtedly secured the passage of
the Pacific railroad bill. which, in addi-
ton to affording New Orleans connec-
ton with the whole line of the thirty
second parallel out to the Pacific. recog-
nizes Louisiana railroad. connecting the
Pacific railroad with New Orleans. as en-
titled to the same land grant per mile
with the Pacific railroad He likewise
aided in thu passage Of revenue laws
which promote the passage O: trade
through our port.

gress have effected even more. An appro.
priation for the construction Of a ship

METROPOLITAN POLICE PAY.

The demo stratio made by some Of our
Metropolitan policemen. last Friday, can
not be entirely Endorsed as wise course.
despite the maxim that the laborer is
worthy Of his hire. It does not appear
that the delegation which waited ON Treas.
urer Bray was fully aware Of the situa.
ton. as they had accepted. and pretended
to believe stories that the Police Board
had on hand. or could readily obtain.
sufficient money to pay the salaries of
patrolmen and superior officers. Show.
ing the books and records. which are un.
doubleday kept in proper order. did not
convince the men they had been misin.
formed as to the Anancial condition of
the Metropolitan treasury. The letters
from Messrs. Bray and Oglesby, pub.
lished yesterday morning. are convincing.
on their face. and prove that. SO far from
the board holding money. it is actually
indebted to the fiscal agent for round
sum. money borrowed from Mr.. Oglesby.
This loan could not be obtained unless the
capitalist received secompense. and as the
dollars were borrowed to pay the force the
recipients could not reasonably demur
paying hir premium for its use. When
the board ceased to issue warrants, in or.
der to pay off in currency. it was in COM
pliance with the expressed wish of the
men. w'n a!n,"s' unanimously declared
that they greatly preferred suffering de.
duction Of ten per cent than take warrants
which could not be disposed of without
sacrifice Of from twenty-five to fifty per
cent Evidently. the Metropolitans never
considered the possibility Of taxpayers fail.
ing to settle with the city. thus forcing the
board to borrow money. il it could. The
real source Of the present empty treasury
is because taxpayers do not pay. flown.
ers ofproper:y fail in their duty the board
has no recourse. and Treasurer Bray
possesses no power to make collec-
tons. The only source that the board
has tor receipts to defray expenses is from
the collection Of taxes at the City Hall,
and when that fails temporarily he may
by chance borrow funds from the fiscal
agent, giving as security uncollected taxes;
but this plan must find an end. At pres.
ent gilt edged securities find it diff.
cult to obtain money in large sums, even
by paying usurious rates. therefore it is not
strange that MI. Bray fails to easily find
men who will lend tbei. money on uuch
an intangible thing as uncollected taxes,
1t is suspected that interested parties have
been instrumental in urging the police
men into the movement Of last Friday,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-10-18

and thus far the officers have accomplished
nothing more than creating something
like an i'll feeling between themselves and
the board. All the members of the board
desire to see the force speedily paid, but
the men must remember that circum-
stances of the times hamper every fnan-
cial movement. Metropoltans have cer-
tainly earned, and well earned their wages,
and can not be greatly blamed for demand
ing their dues, especially when creditors
are crying for their unpaid bills. Mr.,
Bray will be able in few days, he says,
to obtain some money.

notable examples. But every vote we can
command "a either for Mr.. Dubuclet, the
city f.cket, Mr.. Herwig for sheriff, Mr..
C-eagh for coroner, or for the constitu-
tional amendments will count as much in
the general summing up as though it we're
cast in the strongest Republican ward in
the parish. The Republican III the tenth
ward owes it to himself, therefore, to see
that his straight ticket goes in. even
though he may be conscious of an over
powering majority against his choice for
the General Assembly. Let our motto be.
from this time forward, a fair election,
unrelaxing energy and explicit obedience
to party rules. By this means We shall
conquer.
