DRMOCRArIC AND CONSERVATIVE STATR CKNrRAt{
Committee. New Orleans, October "a, 1874.
WHEREAs, Several Thousand of our for
eign born citizens were naturalized in the
Second District Court, upon the advice of
the best legal talent of the State, said ad-
vice being based upon previous decisions
many years; and
Whereas, Said naturalized citizens have
been registered without opposition being
made to their right to register, and have,
thereby, become qualified electors under
the constitution and laws Of the United
States and of the State; and
Whereas, 1t is contemplated by the Re
publican leaders, Kellogg, Packard, Beck
with and others, to deprive our foreign born
vote, by advising the assistant supervisors
to arbitrarily strike out from the list of
registered voters the names of said foreign
born citizens, thereby investing said super
visors with the extraordiaary power of
wrestling from said citizens the right of citi-
zenship secured by the judgment OF q
court Of competent jurisdiction, and recog-
nized in their fullest extent by said super
visors by their official act Of registering said
citizens; and
Whereas, This conspiracy between the
Governor and federal officials is intended
to secure by fraud the same result in the
parish of Orleans which they are attempt
ing to secure in the country parishes by in
timidating white voters through the prosti-
tuition of the federal judiciary and the
degradation of the United States army to
local police purposes; be it
Res0lrcd, That we denounce in unmeas-
ured terms this movement to deprive said
foreign born citizens of their rights of citi.
zenship, and this persistent Interference of
federal officials in the affairs of our State,
intended to invite conflicts and disorders,
and we denounce the weakness and dispO-
sition of the executive in submitting to the
dictation of said federal officials.
Resolred, That we earnestly recommend
to every registered citizen thus naturalized
to present himself at the polls and cast his
vote.
Resolved, That if this outrage be consum-
mated, We hold up to popular execratiOn
the individual authors of this foul c0nspirar
cy against q worthy class of our citizens.

Assault On q Parish judge.

At New iberia, last Monday. while Judge
Fonte!ieu was holding court. man named
Charles Bouligny interrupted legal argu-
ment then going on. and, by all accounts.
abused everything and everybody. Judge
Fontelieu Of course ordered the sheriff to
arrest and imprison Bouligny. On the way
to Jail Bouligny evaded the officer, returned
to the courtroom and assaulted the judge
with an open pocket knife. The judge. to
defend himself, came down from the bench,
but the would-be assassin was too quick,
and severely cut his honor in the left arm.
His honor thereupon struck from the right
shoulder three powerful blows, which COM
pletely tanned the ferocious Bouligny, who
mildly went to jail. Judge Fontelieu's
wound. though very severe, did not pre-
vent him from returning to his duties on
| r. same dav.

Sir Knights. B. B. French, of the District
Of Columbia. was grand commander from
1859 to 1865; Henry l.. Palmer, of Wiscon-
sin. from 1865 to 1868; and William S. Gard

The Evening Pest On Third Term.
The Ecening Post has the following edi
torial: 1.-The President of the United States
see ms desirous to leave the Republican
party no alternative but suicide or his re-
nomination-to destroy itself or to be de-
stroyed. This is a great sacrifice to make,
but if necessary it will not be too great for
the lesson it v i'll teach. 1t will give Presi-
dent Grant the unenviable distinction of
being the first and the last of our Chief
third term-tO lust after it.
"Governor Dix is besought to intervene
and by full expression OF his well known
opposition to the establishment OF presi-
dental dynasty in this country, save the
Republican party in New York; but that
would only hasten the result which it,
would be expected to prevent. 1t would
only manifest more clearly the Presidents
determination to part with none of his
chances for nomination.
In politics, as in law, secondary test;
mony is never received when better can be-
produced. Besides, the declaration of Gen
eral Dix would only bind himself; it would
not bind the party.

WILMINGTON, DEL, NOV. 60 1874
Mr.. Willian, NJ. Candy and the
Ne1c RESERVOIR.

We cannot understand the action OF
this gentleman in Council on the propo-
sition Of Mr.. Morris to erect basin at a
cost Of $4,000. Mr.. Candy led our peo-
ple to believe that he approved of this
change in the construction OF the work
and showed that it would save about
100000. But in very few minutes he
changed his vote and recorded it in favor
Of a project that is the most ridiculous
that we have ever known men of ordi-
nary good sense to undertake. The prop
osition amounts to this-simply that the
Council shall go to the expense OF ex-
pending $4,000 in order to secure dirt
for an embankment for basin that may
be needed thirty years hence, or may not
be needed at all. Now when we calcu-
late the interest on $4,000 for thirty
years we find tho aggregate so large that
it covers more than the entire cost OF the
proposed basin If built on the original
plan covering the whole lot Of ground
purchased. The course Of Mr.. VIM. NJ
Candy, who had, if we believe him. con-
sidered the whole matter, is inesplicable
We insist upon it that this gentleman
should explain his position. II he has
discovered that he and Mr.. Morris made
an error in their proposition to Council
to build reservoir (half the size OF thu
one Mr.. Graeiff calculated for,) for SSe,
900 that would supply tho city for thirt!
years, let us know it.
If there has been no mistake and thu
question comes fairly before tho peopl'
whether they shall expend additional!
$4,000 for an obnoxious, embarrassing
bank of dirt, why then we arc IN favo
of an injunction being applied for an'
the whole affair stopped until the Coun
Gil have time to arrive at the CONCLUSION
that the interest Of the people is o
greater concern than the interest OF
Ring Of any political party.

South Carolina.

This State, which under the control Of
the Democratic party was one of the
best governed in the Union, is now, under
the control of the Republicans, the worst
governed. 1t was rich and influential,
! is now poor and destitute Of influence.
The legislature has just assembled and
elected ex-Congressman Elliott Speaker
Of the House by 6l to 81. The minority
includes the delegation elected by the
Fusion party in Charleston; and pro-
ceadings have been commenced to con-
test their seats. They were elected by
800 majority. OF course we mean by the
Republicans the negroes. They have
been, by Grant and his party, enabled t.
override all white opposition. Thes'
white scoundrels deserve the lash mor'
than the meanest negro thief that eve
stood upon the pillory at Now Castle.

STEAM oUTpoNE-7, 900 LBS TO THE souAFE
INcK-2 GALLONS OF WATER TO Run L
TRAIN TO AND FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
The Philadelphia correspondent OF the
New York Graphic describes an invention
of John W. Keeley, 1910 Master street, which
IS intended to suppressed steam. BY the use
Of gallons of water he claims to be able to
run train from Philadelphia 10 San fran
cisco and back. The secret is known only
to the inventor, who states that his simple
process Will create a pressure OF 5000 lbs, to
the square inch, that of steam being only
about 80 to 200 lbs. A model for the Pat
ent Office is being finished. Many promi-
neut men In New York and Worcester.
Mass., are reported to have advanced money
for its completion on condition OF receiving
the exclusive right of Its disposal In certain
localities. The water is used over and over
again, and no fuel, chemicals, electricity or
magnetic currents are used. On the 10Th
inst, successful and astonishing test was
made in the presence Of three experts, Pied
ged to secrecy. The machine Is locked up
aud even its shape is concealed. 1t holds
about IA gallons of water. In working II
the water was taken from common by
arant near by.

A REpyBLICAN CONDEMNS IT.

-
A correspondent, who is said by the
EVERY EVENING, to be o strong Repub-
lican, with considerable interest in the
affairs of the city, ,denounces the action
of the Council on the new reservoir
We extract from his remarks the fol-
lowing;
Frem the moment the new plan was
proposed, the former Water Committee
opened their batteries against it, and de-
termined that no other should take the
place of the one they had at first adop-
ted, no matter if the new plan gave am
pie storage accommodation for, at least,
twenty years; no matter if 1t saved
the Taxpayers S120, 600 in interest dur
ing that time without losing one lota
of advantage; no matter If MIR. Morris
plan was the best, for any reason, the
ex-C Chairman of the Water Committee
has determined that nothing but his
plan should be carried out, and the
whole of his "Ring" influence, as well
as social and family influence, is
brought against it. The result we have
seen in the rejection of Mr.. Morris sub
stitute. and the adoption of badly
90 ched amendment ofMr. Graef splan
which diminishes the utility OF the
original, without reducing to any con-
siderable extent the expenses of it.
\ \ II
One chance remains for retreat. Let
the matter be reconsidercd at the next
| meeting of Council, and then allow
time to the members to study carefully
the two plans before taking a final vote
on it. Little can, at any rate, be done
this winter and there should be no sucf
hot haste in the matter as to prevent
the adoption of that plan which gives
the best results for the least expendi
ture of money.
