THE ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CENTRAL Committee.

After session of two days the Democratic
State Central Committee closed its labors yes
terday evening. The meeting was attended
by the usual number Of members, all of whom
seemed to be thoroughly impressed with the
importance and responsibility of the duty de-
volving upon them. The result Of their de-
hberations appears in the address to the peo-
pie, which we published yesterday. It
Is clear, concise, imprisoned and tru hful
statement Of the political condition of the
country. At the same time, its claim, on be-
half of the party, to assume control and d.
rection of the coming campaign, is reasonable
and proper.
The platform it puts forth is broad and COM
prehensive enough for all the parties opposed
to Radicalism to stand upon. 1t recognizes
the superior claims of the white man, favors
the doctrine Of repudiating the fraudulent
State debt, and proposes to redeem Louisiana
tress to which it has been brought by the cor
rupt, imbecile and maladministration of the
Government by ignorant negroes and debased
carpet-baggers. Under this broad and catho-
lie creed the White League, the Bees, the
Changers and Democrats can all combine to
meet the cohorts of the Republican party, in
the approaching contest.
Thus united and acting in concert, no one
doubts the entire success of the great move
ment for the redemption of the State.

THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

The political situation in France is becom-
ing very exciting The incorporate zeal and
reckless course Of the Bonapartist faction and
the "do-nothing" policy Of MacMahon's
Ministry seem likely to bring about the self
pronounced dissolution Of the present Assem-
bly,. A general election, in which the Cham
bord and Orleans factions would be almost
completely swamped and a strongly Republ-
can Assembly, confronted by powerless mi
norty, composed mainly Of the old stagers of
the Empire, would doubtless succeed it, is
one of the most obvious probabilities Of
the future. In such case there
would be but two courses left open
to MacMahon- coup detdt, or a more or
less graceful submission to the popular YER
dict We do not believe MscMahon would
venture upon the former experiment, in spite
Of his supposed influence over the French
army, but rather think he would "aocept the
situation, and fall back on his seven years
lease Of provisional power. Should the Re
publican majority be strong and united,
however, we hardly suppose they would re-
spect this king Log" arrangement and it is
more than likely that the hboriously con-
structed "Septennate" Of the present Assem-
bly, would be, like its contrivers, entirely
swept out Of the field Of French politics.

EVERY MAN TO THE FRONT.

| We trust that the non-fulfliment of the
prophesy Of our Camp street contemporaries
in regard to an en,e,de on the Fourth will not
prevent our citizens from thoroughly orga
nizing and arming; for, while we do not be.
| lieve that the Fourth was selected as the tim
| for making demonstration in force, yet ",
do believe that the Black Leagues are fully
organized in both city and country, and thai
they mean mischief.
1t is to prepare for any emergency that we
advise prompt and thorough organization,
and we believe that perfect safety and peace
in the coming campaign can only be assured
by such action on the part Of the white people
of the State.
The negroes are not only organized secretly
but they form the bulk of the Kellogg militia,
having under their control nearly all the i'm
proved arms which belong to the State. These
arms they can obtain possession of at any
moment, and, if they see no counter or5aniza-
ton on the part of the whites, they may, for
any fancied grievance, Or in time of any great
political excitement conclude to use them
against us.
We want to see our young men, therefore,
form companies and drill regularly, and as an
incentive for them to do so, We would suggest
that our young ladies offer a richly wrought
banner to the first club or company that is
regularly formed, armed, differed and drilled.
The right to bear arms is one of the very few
privileges left to us, and the right to bear
them in self-defedse is one that no government
can take from us.
The gentlemen of the Crescent City Club
will no doubt take the lead in this laudable
and very necessary movement and bear off
the honors and the banner which we feel
assured the ladies will only too gladly make
for them. Let us turn our attention from
base ball and other interesting games and
sport for time, and prepare ourselves to meet
whatever danger the future may have in store
for rs.

THE BULLETIN AND THE PICAYUNE.

| The Picny,tne in an editorial yesterday eve
ming, at much length and with much unneces-
sary verbiage, disclaims and utterly denies the
| truth Of the charges made by the correspond
ent Of the New York World, to the effect that
it had been muzzled by Warmoth and Kellogg,
and also denies the truth of the charge made
by the BULLETIN that the first order issued
by the present proprietor and manager to
the editorial staff upon taking charge OF
the paper was to be silent as regards
Kellogg and other State officials, and
especially to write nothing against
Judge Durell Now the BULLETIN has for
months asserted this fact and has held itself
in readiness to prove it whenever called upon
to do SO. The Picdyuae has never, but once
before, and that in very general way, had
the hardihood to deny the allegations.
What we have stated we are prepared to
prove by all the editorial writer's on the Pic =
ylne at the time.
The manager Of this paper desires to state
to the public that few days after the Bull
LEr1N was started he met the chief editor Of
the Picayune and made to him a serious propo-
sition, that if the Picayune would espouse the
cause Of the people Of Louisiana the publica-
ton Of the BULLETIN would be discontinued.
The only response made to this, was an article,
which appeared shortly after, ridiculing this
paper.
The BULLETIN has made no charge against
the Picoyune that is not substantiated by the
course Of that paper and by the facts, and we
believe the public will bear us out in this
statement.
The exhibition, therefore, Of this latter-day
chivalry and bombast comes in bad taste and
in violation, and in utter disregard Of all the
rules which govern the conduct Of gentlemen
in the settlement Of their personal or profess
sional difficulties.
The Picay'ne occupies the unenviable posi-
ton Of the little boy who, being charged with
vigorously replied ''You're another.

and in that case, we would rather dasl
were thrown across her path and a period pu
to her eccentric course till directed in some
other way, lest she should approach so neal
as to make the earth uncomfortably warm
and, possibly, SO hot as to injure vegetation
and produce Sickness if no worse calamities
Seriously, however, from all we gather from
science, no such dangers are to be apprehend-
ed and comets would seem to be but huge,
innocent meteors, and the particles thrown Of
from them but SO many miniature meteors,
which formerly were supposed to produce the
meteoric showers which have followed the ap-
pearancs Of the comets themselves. The
present comet is supposed to be travelling now
at rate very nearly equal to that Of the
diurnal revolution Of the earth, say, in round
figures, over twenty thousand miles every
twenty-four hours, and, at this time, is moving
very nearly in the same direction but, as it
is supposed to be nearer to the sun than the
earth is, it is not likely to impinge upon the
earth, unless its orbit is peculiarly elliptical
should be widened, by some disturbing cause,
| to the distance Of the earth from the sun. In
either contingency the comet might strike the
earth, but not necessarily, for, though thus
moving the same distance from the sun that
the earth is distant from that luminary, it
might still pass far away from US in the i'm
mensity Of space.
Even, as to the statement that the comet is
moving straight towards us, that may be only
comparatively, or relatively, true, according as
the orbit is more or less eccentric, and on ac-
count Of the orbit being SO immense, and the
earth, possibly, SO near its line, that the comet
in its huge circuit, only seems to be approach
ing us directly, when in reality it is only near
ing us indirectly, without aiming straight at
us. Such only can be the appreciate concep-
ton of its movements, owing to the immensely
of the curve in which comet describes that
arc of its great circuit to which the line Of the
earth's direction is tangent. as may be illus
trated by proper diagrams. The comet being
nearer the sun than the earth is, and its head
continually towards the sun, its tail may, in
the course of its majestic sweep, swing against
the earth
On the 14th of July, the head of the comet
will have reached the horizon in the north
west, SO that it will not be visible after that
date, according to the calculations made, but
the tail will be seen some time longer. The
direction Of the comet will prevent any length
ened display Of the tail, which, however, will
be remarkably widened at the end
Still another comet is reported to have put
in an appearance among the heavenly bodies,
and may shortly delight us with its bewilder
ing phenomena.

WHAT'S IN THE WIND?

| Wonders will never cease The New Or
leans Times pitches into Grant this morning
with vim and in lengthy editorial on the
so-called Republic Of San Marino (Which
numbers 5000 inhabitants all told-is about
the size of an old-time Louisiana plantation,
and never was anything else but a small de-
tendency of the defunct Papal Dominion) the
auxiliary Kellogg organ comes out in the fol-
lowing truly virtuous and patriotic STYLE
| Compared with San Marine in size, our Re-
| public is giant; compared with it in age,
ours is but an infant. AS to the simplicity
| and purity Of Republican institutions the
| Great Republic may in theory take highest
rank; but in practice, the little old Italian Re
public is still our master. Politics have
never yet become trade in San Marine. Here
they have; and of all trades the political
trade is the very worst 1t is selfshness
personifed. 1t makes deceit a virtue and
degrades honesty into kinship with imbe-
cility. Howling hypocrites who put on the
garments Of patriotism to deceive and then
betray, find in politics that congenial fellow
ship which springs from the cohesion of pub
lie plumber. OF all denominations, political
demoralizations are the most demoralizing.
When masters Of the situation, your political
hypOcrltes are boasttul and pretentlous; 1t is
only when thrift may follow fawning that they
are likely to bend the pregnant hinges of the
knees.
II the learned political philosopher of the
Times would only turn the big end Of his tele-
scope near home, he would find so-called
republican State in which politics are en-
p'latically trade, in which the cohesion of
public plumber makes the strangest kind of
bed-fellows and where "boastful and preten-
tious" journalistic hypocrites "even bend
the pregnant hinges of the knee wherever
and whenever thrift may follow fawning."
The acknowledgment Of such well known
fact in this particular locality, sounds very
much like a truism, but we are agreeably sur
prised to find the Times turning States evil
dence in the great case Of Louisiana VS.. KEEL
