The Democrats are sweeping every
thing in the North and West, as the
following dispatch from Washington
will show:
I'm figuring up the result of of tie tie
elections for members ofthe next Con
gress that have taken place in nine
States, it is seen that the Democrats
gain fifteen members, and have actu.
ally overcome the Radical majority of
twenty seven Which the same States
had IN the last Congress, and have in
stead majority of two, making net
gain Of fifteen Cong tossmen."

DIR COMMERCIAL ENEMIES.

At home and abroad we have enemies.
At home a press which, for the forlorn
hope of defeating popular majority at
home, spreads abroad the most deplora-
BILE exaggerations of domestic affairs.
Then come the ISLANDERS of our distant
commercial antagonists. We have re-
ferred to the humiliation of New Orleans
bv the edict of the New York World. It
has impressed itself on the Galveston Meas
as it has on us:
New York fears New Orleans more than
she does any other city in the Union, ana
her influence in the present congressman
session has undoubtedly been exerted TO
prevent an appropriation for the purpose OF
improving navigation at the mouth OF the
Mississippi She accomplished this 0y
means Of introducing rival schemes for
this Improvement, which it will take time
to choose from, and which puzzles con-
gressional heads as questions of engineer
inc skill, Delay is what New York wants,
az the next best thing to absolute depriva-
ton of national aid tor internal improve
ments in the South.
This tends also to explain the tender
interest which the New York World takes
in fermenting our domestic discord and
in patting the Picayu'e on the back IN all
its efforts to exaggerate our mistortunes
to secure the offices.

RELIEVED AT LAST.

The non-action of the Senate on the Lou
isiana bill will give timely relief to Messrs.
McEnery, Sheridan, the Committee Of
Seventy, and all others who have so per-
sistently and manfully "fought the battle
of the people" in Washington. The debt,
of gratitude and otherwise, charged up
against the "decent citizens of Louisiana
began to be trihe burdensome, especial
ly as business is poor and there have been
great losses by overflow. It is not for us
to inquire of the contributors to the fund
of gratitude and cash in this behalf,
whether they have realized satisfactory
results from the investment. We may
have some reason to complain at the long
delay of justice, and the interruption to
business occasioned by the persistent eff
forts which have been made in Washing
ton to prove the worse the better cause;
bat as we are well pleased with the re-
suits, which by the way, we have con-
fdently expected, we are not disposed to
be too particular. On the contrary, those
business men who have so long been laid
under heavy contributions to keep up a
losing fight are entitled to our congratula-
tons upon being at last emancipated from
a rather burdensome tax. The attempt
to overthrow our State government has
caused great deal Of expense and annoy
ance, without apparently doing anybody
any good. If it shall serve as an example
and warning to future aspiring politicians
and teach them to rely mainly upon local
support and popularity for success, per-
haps we may at last come to regard the
whole business as a blessing in disguise.

NO HOPE FOR 1T.

We believe Carpenters bantling is
quite dead. Bayard tried to save its life
by making something else of it. The
nurses who have had it in charge made
grand rally when Zacharie's dispatch
arrived, but the patient sunk under the
heroic treatment, and showed such symp-
toms of exhaustion that it was thought to
be too weak to stand long enough to be
knocked down. It was to have been
called up on thursday, but Carpenter
wanted to close the argument, and SO was
put off from day to day until finally the
week rolled by, and it was forgotten.
May its slumbers remain unbroken until
Delaware votes the right ticket and Car
penter returns to the Senate from Wis.,
consin. That will be long enough.

POOR COMFORT,

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Times, thinks the wing dam
scheme is getting on well, because "there
can be no money appropriated this
session. The members are disposed to
give trial to the jetty system, which
asks for no money until the required
depth of water shall have been secured +"
This correspondent does not see that
not even contingent obligation can be
contracted if there can be mo money ap-
propriated at this session." We should
suppose the contingent stock Of the dead
heads must quote very low, and Eads
must have driven in the Spite and dis
continued the issue of cider, as the
chances of contract float away in the
distance and disappear.

PARTITION OF LOUISIANA.

1t is perhaps becau use both in Texas and
in Louisiana there are SO many people
without any country at all that the sug-
eestion to divide Louisiana among her
coterminous States meets with so many
advocates. We have had the Shreveport
Times determined to get out of the State,
then comes the Vicksburg Herald with a
proposal to take New Orleans and the
whole eastern territory of our State.
Texas would, we believe, as purchase
money agree to assume the Shreveport
part of the State debt, but Mississippi
deems this needless, as not having been
willing to pay her own public debt, she
can not rea sonably expect capitalists and
creditors to set any high value on her as
Stunning it. The Galveston Neps approves
the partition of Louisiana, and especially
desires the Shreveport region for Texas 1t
would award the eastern part OF the State
to Mississippi for our moral regeneration.
The true partisan motive, however, can
not be concealed
The annexed territory would include New
Orleans, with its large white majority, and
the Florida parishes with similar major
ity, and the two majOrities would be sutfi-
cient to overcome the present Radical and
negro preponderance in Mississippi.
This partition is to be effected, we pre-
sumo, through the consent Of the Legis-
lature of Louisiana, so that our nominal
ing conventions will please make note Of
this conspiracy to destroy the territorial
integrity of Louisiana and blot her name
from the list of States solely to overcome
the present Radical and negro majority in
Mississippi. Our merchants had better
attend to this project of dismemberment.
Politicians will do anything to get Office,
and some morning the orders Of our mu-
nicipal authorities may come from jack
son. Our public credit is not very good
at present, but when Endorsed by Missis-
sippi it would be useless for purposes of
negotiation. We must remind these
harpies who watch the dismemberment
of Louisiana that France, according to
some of our journals, has the call over
them. Better ask the legislative executive
of France whether he will waive his claim.

SENATOR PINCHBACK AND THE PARISH
CONVENTION,

The Bulletin and the Louisianian have
fallen into trifing error concerning the
remarks of the REPUBLICAN upon the occa-
sion of the assembling of the parish con-
vention. This event took place on Satur-
day. The comments of the REPUBLICAN
appeared on Sunday. Both journals agree
in saying that sat the time this article
was published no dissension had devel-
oped itself in the convention, which is an
assumption not borne out by the record.
About the first thing that occurred upon
the assembling of this convention was
Senator Pinchback's opening speech,
which we quote from the Louisionian, as
follows:
Senator PinchDack said before the con-
vention proceeded to business he thought it
was due to the convention and himself to
make an explanation. Some malicious at
lacks had been made upon him, alleging
that he proposed to pack the convention.
He denied it in toto. He never had packed
a convention, nor had he ever endeavOred
to do SO since he had become a member of
of the body polite. He made this expiana-
the assertions were entirely unwarranted,
and that ne desired the convention to con-
troll both its temporary and permanent Or
ganizatiOn, electing such men in both in
stances as would be acceptable to MAORI
ty of the body.
Hence it will be seen that Mr.. Pinch
back himself first made public the fact
that he had been charged with packing
the convention. Dissension had, there
fore, developed itself even in the conven-
ton. 1t had previously been rife in the
ward clubs and the REPUBLICAN did not
choose to ignore it or treat it with in
difference. We desire harmony in the
party above all other considerations and
do not care particularly whether this re.
suit is secured by one man or another.
But when one fails to answer the purpose,
we are pretty sure to try some one else.
In this connection we are glad to be
able to say there is fair prospect that
whatever misunderstanding may have
existed at first will be accommodated.
The rank and file of the Republican party
are not ready to come together by the
ears to suit half a dozen really worthy
members who are so unfortunate as to be
unable to agree with each other.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-05-03

ciates have not and will not again bestow
their confidence.
The great mass of the Confederate
army fought to maintain slavery and re-
sist the apprehended consequences
Of abolition. That they never lost
their lives for a representative republic is
proved by the fact that they condemned
the Confederate government for its arbi.:
trary enlistments and its unwise and
unequal policy. The claim of these men
who fought was to make the Union
more perfect republic, or to make more
perfect republic than the Union. Headed
by Robert E. Lee and Alexander H.
Stephens they accepted the situation and
labor to improve it. They wish to make
the government of the people better.
Their ancestors were born and their pos
terity will die under the Union, and as
they could not improve the Union by d.
viding it they enlist in good faith in its
service, and will labor to give it honor
and not shame in the councils of nations.
1t is to such men the South will turn for
counsel and service. Not to refugees
who avoided battle in the salons of Paris
Or the bomb-proofs of exemption.
These malcontents have aided in max
ing Louisiana theme of national dis
gust, and perhaps in making some ignor-
ant of history, long for remuneration to
France or for the flesh pots Of recoloni-
cation by England. But the mass of the
men who fought for the South never
fought against representative govern
ment, and with Forrest and hundred
other officers would rally under it and
carry forward the flag of the Union in
battle against any Of the model nations
which are commended by the Picayune
as far better entitled to their allegiance.
However they may have dreaded the
maladministratio of the republic in the
hands Of Lincoln and Hamlin, they still
prefer the government Of their fathers to
any which their fathers quilted to estab-
lish this.

We give up a large portion of the Re-
PUBLICAN to-day for the publication of the
speech Of Senator West on the Louisiana
election bill. If the wishes of the people of
this State, as presented by the only Senator
we are allowed to have, are entitled to
any weight, it is to be hoped that this
speech will have the effect to quiet long
agitated question. General West has evil
IDENTIFY bestowed great care in preparing
his remarks, and has achieved signal sue
cess in laying the essential points bare to
the dullest comprehension, provided,
always, the reader is not SO blinded by
prejudice as to be able to listen to reason.

We believe the friends of new election
in this State made their dying struggle
over Mr.. Zacharie's dispatch. The efforts
put forth on that occasion proved too
much for Carpenters sickly bantling, and
it quietly died, making no sign. The facts
of the case have already been correctly
stated, but We have not yet heard from
one of the sensation mongers any sufi-
cient excuse for the excitement they kicked
up. The last Legislature, it appears, &C
tually passed two acts relative to cleo
tons. The Governor, as he had perfect
right to do. approved one, but does not,
it appears, like the other. Perhaps Mr..
Bayard, from Delaware, may be able to
explain in what manner Governor is re-
sponsible for the acts of a Legislature. We
can not. But the very fact that there
were two bills, differing in some material
features from each other, which had been
presented to the Governor for his ap-
prevail and that he had signed one of
them, ought to have been taken as con-
elusive evidence that he did not intend to
sign the other. Our Fusionists, how
ever, remember the precedent they estab-
lished in 1872, when they persuaded
Governor Warmoth to sign act No. SO,
between the time of closing the polls and
the counting of the votes. By this means
they gained very great, but unfair, ad-
vantage. Not enough, fortunately, to
carry the State, as they hoped, but still
sufficient to give the successful candidates
great deal Of trouble, and make them
incur heavy expenses in Washington and
elsewhere. 1t is barely possible mind,
we do not say it will be-but it is within
the bounds of possibility, that still
another bill may be yet found by the en-
rolling clerks, and presented to Governor
Kellogg for his approval. Il will proba-
bly, fail, however, since We are assured he
is well pleased With the law which has

MONARCHIsTS IN DISGUISE.

There is great practical virtue in the
pride which every citizen takes in the
good name of his country. 1t is not only
fund ON which the government itself
may draw in the day of trial, but the
pride which boasts of its own land and
people, tends to attract other peoples,
and so strengthen, enlighten and adorn
the home land. There is grand pride
among all true lovers Of freedom, in the
union of these States. 1t first drove for
eign tyranny into the sea. 1t conquered
and redeemed a wilderness, and has
planted in its place garden that has been
filed by the thronging millions es-
Gaping from other forms of govern
ment. 1t has defended these mil
lions from all assaults and in
vasion. It has maintained its own integ-
ity from within and without. The ms
tutions of the republic have not only
been successful, but they have been
adopted elsewhere. The entire success OF
free opinion, of popular equality, of q
sacred public faith. have either been
copied into the government OF older coun.
tries, or has so modified their administra.
tons as to restrain their people from
flocking to the United States. Italy has
been regenerated under education, fret
opinion and industrial development The
rule of rank and the sway Of superstition
has ended France has steadily aspired
to representative institutions. She has
