TW0-EAnEE MAN,

Such is the pigeon English by which
John Chinaman describes those whom he
finds it difficult to understand. Our
eighbor of the Picayune exposes itself to
similar appellation. In one issue there
is an effort to maintain an entire indie
pendence Of all parties. 1t proclalms
this determination and swears that the
gates of the White League and OF the
viii ted sepulchre of Democracy shall not
prev all against it. If assailants wish to
talk politics, have at them; If they wish
per sonalities, let them shy their castor
into the controversial ring and they shall
have as much as they can swallow and far
more than they can digest. When
we read this stirring column and
witnessed this squaling of against all
corners, we are reminded Of Milo OF Gro
ton, who at one period of his life had car
RE an OK, and afterward eaten the whole
of it in a day, but who, growing old, lost
his life by an undue confidence in his own
strength, having been thereby caught in
a snap and there held until he was de-
voured by the wolves. We fear lest the
anti quated Pic may expose itself to some
thing of the same fate in its conflicts with
its younger and more voracious assailants.
But while this open defiance appears IN
one column, some timid or treacherous
10 1oya 4hrp,.r1 tho
postern Of small type to the White
Leaguers, SO that while the typical Milo
is rending apart the trees Of the forest on
one side, the White League wolves are
pouring over the parapet from another.
Here come the White Leaguers:
This question OF politics has become one
of poverty or independence. of ruin or
salvation, of life and death. The negro has
made it so, in spite of all his better In
stincts, in spite of reason, gratitude or wis
dom. Its Influences touch my very exist
ence and threaten my daily livelihood.
Shall l not then make it do likewise with
the negro! Shall he not also feel the crisis
as feel it! And if he is unalterably re-
solved on running ME, shall not cease sup
plying him with the instruments!
IllS is the WnOle tnsOIy Oh tuat
Pennsylvania Creole, Mr.. Todd, Of the
Teche: Don't vote for negroes; don't
vote with negroes; don't employ ne
groes. How does this exclusive and
unconditional advocacy of the White
Leage by the Pic correspond with that
proclamation of ''immovable neutrality
which we have republished with such ap-
prevail? Not at all We can not charge
our contemporary with being two-facee
journal, but unless it has rented out its
columns to various political factions as
was once done by a California paper, we
do not know how to reconcile this appa-
rent contradiction of fact to professions.

THE GAS CONTROVERSY,

By the court reports we notice that the
Crescent City Gaslight Company, of the
city of New Orleans, and the State OF
Louisiana, through their various attorneys.
have taken an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the State, in the celebrated case
of the Crescent City Gas Company vs.. the
New Orleans Gas Company, which was
tried some weeks since in the Superior
District Court. This will bring the i'm
portant questions involved before our
highest State court, which has already
passed upon some of these points in other
cases before it; and it is the opinion of a
good many legal gentlemen that at least
some of the opinions Of the lower court
will be overruled. One thing is certain,
the New Orleans Gas Company have an

Republican administration. We think
we are justified, therefore, in saying that
our Democratic contemporary has pre-
sented to our notice the case Of aconstltu-
tional tax resister who treated his political
friends and enemies with the most impartial
neglect. As it does not appear that he
ever paid cent to either till he was forced
to do it, we infer that he would have
been as dilatory if the taxes had been no
more than dollar year, with an almost
certain prospect that be would eventually
let everything go under the hammer, just
as he has done. We certainly can not
receive it as an argument in favor OF abol-
ishing taxation that man occasionally lets
his affairs run to seed in such fashion as
here related until the sheriff is finally
compelled to step in and close him out.

THE NEW YORK TROUBLES.

It is always some consolation to pa
tient scringing from the pains of the
dengue to be informed that somebody
else has it infinitely worse. The latest
municipal sensation in New York affords
US some such comfort. There two police
commissioners have been convicted of
official malyersation, and Mayor Have
meyer having reinstated them in Office,
there is demand made upon Governor
Dix to suspend the mayor from his func-
tons. The Tribune thereupon says that
the whole history Of New York reform
is swindle:
There has been no reform vet of the
New York city government. Connolly and
Genet are in exile, and Tweed is in
striped jacket; but :he same system of
the polls, the same disgraceful misuse of
official position which made those worthless
rich and powerful, flourish abundantly I'M
der their successors.
It goes on:
Mr.. Havemeyer is doing Just what he was
told to do by the politicians who made him

ministration Does any one dream that
the charter was made what it is in order
that the city might be well governed? Does
not everybody know that the factions
which supported the mayor always intend.
ed to have the police board organized for
partisan interests, and always desired that
the commissioners should appoint inspectors
of election on precisely the principle which
Charlick and Gardner adopted? The
trouble with the mayor is not that he
abused the outside public but that he
cheated his partners. They meant from
the first that the public should be swim
died; when they are cheated themselves it
seems to them high time for Mr.. Havemeyer
to be removed.
So there are some others whose bones
ache as well as ours. The advice of the
Tribune is much easier to give than to en-
force:
There is only one remedy, and it is in our
own hands. Let US try the novel expert.

We do not observe that our conserva-
tive and deliberate friends, the Germans,
accompanied these more excitable gen.
tlemen Of the Celtic and Latin extractions.
So these orators were White League
Democratic scouts, who obtained admis-
sion to the Independent councils simply
to observe and report; with no intention
to cooperate in its purposes, but seeking
to disband or lead it into the Demo-
cratic and White League movement.
There were, however, other heads more
sagacious than Mr.. Mickey had bargained
for. They demanded some platform of
action, and, no doubt, some guarantee of
nominations. So they voted for a plat
form which will assuredly not be that
upon which Mr.. Mickey Lagan, wild his
tigers, can stand at all, at all. Mr.. E. A.
Burke is prudent and resolute man.
He is not at all in the habit of being
abashed by the utmost display OF claims,
or the most thunderous amount of roar
ing which could be got up or put up by
all the tigers in Bengal. He stated very
clearly the purpose and position of tue
Independents He said:
I Gentlemen. am in favor of a union of all
parties, yet l am not sanguine that this
good result will be brought about. II the
Democratic party resolves to keep up the
organization there will be many good and
patriotic citizens who will refuse to fight
under its banners; citizens who are unwil.
ling to divide the Conservative party, but
who are determined to get good officers.
Let these citizens rally to the Independent
movement; let them make no nominations.
Ii the Democrats nominate good men, we
accept them. This Independent party will
hold the balance of power in this parish,
and if organized with the understanding
that they will make no nominations unless
forced to do SO by the improper nominations
Of other parties in the field, they can by
their vote elect TO Office men of responsible
character.
There are three facts evident from this
programme: l. All Southern people are
not the property of the Democratic party.
2. All Southern men do not approve the
war of races. g. This independent party
proposes to DO an immense amount of
scratching, and to compound an eclectic
ticket, composed of ''men of responsible
character"
The Republican conventions will make
a note of this. There are thousands OF
business men in the city who know it to
be certain ruin to follow the dark lantern
of the Democracy and the corpse lights
of the White League. They repel the
demands of these parties. Their votes
will be cast for good men without regard
to political antecedents. This heavy vote
is premium offered for the best nomi-
nations. Republicans of Louisiana, show
that you can present ticket personally
above reproach or objection.

THE INDEPENDENTS.

1t is not to be supposed that an appella-
ton SO distinguished in the annals Of Re.
publicanism as that of Independents can
be regarded with Indifference by us. Here
it announces determination to escape
the yoke of White League Democracy and
bitter hostility to all citizens from other
States who do not report to that intoler-
ant organization for orders Immediately
upon their arrival in Louisiana.
In this view we have to notice the
resistance to the White League Dem
ocratic raid made upon the Independent
Club meeting on Wednesday night last.
These Independent gentlemen have evil
IDENTIFY been there before. They announced
their purpose through their president
Every citizen has perfect right to know
who he votes for, what principles and can
didates. No party can force undesirable
nominations on the voters.
"Mr Michael Lagan, Of the Tiger Club, .
developed the subdolous design of the
Democracy to snake themselves into. and
dissolve other organizations. Corporal
Lagan, in fact, seems to have commanded
the squad sent out to capture the indie
pendents, or arrest them for meeting.
He thus warned the Independents Of
their party allegiance to the White League
Democracy, and that undated hostility
to the ssnacurs:"
Mr., Mike Lagan, of the Tiger Club,
thought that the only principles that the
white people of Louisiana could vote for
we're true old Democratic principles. He
therefore moved the adoption Of the Demo
cratic platform as the platform Of the In
dependent clubs.
This motion exploded, as it exposed the
design of Mr.. Michael Lagan, of the
Tigers:
This motion caused great confusion,
there being shouting and yelling for some
ten minutes or go, when order was re-estab-
lished, and the motion ruled out Of order.
There was subsequently another at
tempt to sustain the motion Of MIR.
Lagan, of the Tigers. Mr.. J. W. Castel-
lanos announced:

Democratic party must belong to the
