ADJOURNED SINE DIE,

The Republican Parish Convention for
the parish of Orleans finished its labors
yesterday, and adjourned sine die. The
session has been extended beyond the
time usually occupied for the work of
such bodies, and its proceedings have
been accompanied with rather more than
the usual amount Of boisterousness dis
played upon such occasions. The pro-
ceedings of yesterday were notably lively
at times, and reminded us of the COM
plant once made by General Cass, dis
tinguished political leader of his day,
against the ''noise and confusion" of
convention that he had occasion to speak
Of That was Democratic convention,
and at that time they were the only polit-
ical conventions in this country whose
proceedings were characterized by
turbulence that materially interfered with
anything like reasonable solution of the
subjects brought before them. But this
kind Of proceeding with the business
Of political body called together in the
name of the people and supposed to be in
their interest, is no longer monopolized
by the Democrats. The Republicans-at
least that portion of them residing south
of Mason and Dixon's somewhat celebrated
line, and embracing men without regard to
color or previous condition-are fast excel
ling anything in the way of "noise and con-
fusion" at conventions that was ever pro-
duced by the Democracy in its widest
and most untutored state. But in refer
ring to this fact at this particular time we
do not wish to be understood as desiring
to compliment our Republican friends,
nor would we have our Democratic friends
think for one moment that we desire to
rob the Democratic party of the s'horns'
it has so long worn as the great promoter
Of noise and confusion in political assem-
blies. Our object at this time is merely
to point to the progress the Republicans
Of. New Orleans are making in respect to
an old Democratic custom, and remind
them that if they are actually contesting
for the "horns" worn so long by their
Democratic opponents an impartial judy
nent will hand them over without delay.

The slurs and insinuations against the
police which sometimes find their way
into the opposition papers rarely fail to
be sufficiently answered Immediately after
by acts. Last week, for instance, a few
robberies were reported, but the perpetra-
tors escaped. AS there was not police
man on hand at the time, it was held to
be great offense, and the whole force
came in for share of vigorous scold-
ing. This week opened, however, with
case in which officers Elmore, Connors
and Gibson behaved with the utmost
promptness, gallantry and success. They
had lively contest with two reputed
thieves, and with some assistance finally
succeeded in making them prisoners.
Without assuming that the captured
persons were, at the tine OF the arrest,
engaged in any unlawful attempt, we con-
cede to the officers the full credit due for
their heroic exertions It is positively as
serted by onr contemporaries that the

CUBA AND ITS PROSPECTS.

No government can be conducted upon
sympathies. 1t must look wholly to the
interests of its own citizens. No doubt
the Republicans of the North would like to
carry the banner of abolition to and across
the tropics, lift could be done without COM
plicating the commercial and diplomatic
relations with European powers Wars,
direct or consequential, are very serious
evils, and crusade for the liberties of a
foreign country has occasionally involved
domestic troubles of serious character.
Foreign issues very seldom unite the people
at home. Reasoning on sympathy-calcu-
lating on apparent interest, it would seem
that Cuba, free and protected, would con-
stitute the true welfare of the American
Union.
Leaving, then, to the diplomatic depart
ment of the government to prosecute
policy consistent with its estimate of the
public interest, we are compelled to take
such leaks and limitations of its purposes
as are developed from official or semi-ofi-
cial sources. Among the latter we may re-
gard an article from the National Repub-
lican. 1t is deliberately written-addresses
deliberate citations from the best inter-
national jurisconsults, and presses certain
which would seem to re-
concile the sympathies and interests OF
the government in regard to the LIBERIA
ton of Cuba. Passing over resume OF
the material interest to be presented by
such recognition, and the legal justifica-
ton of such a measure, we confine our
selves to quoting the intimation that no

complication Of our foreign relations viii
impede an early and definite action on
this important subject
Hitherto certain complications have ex-
listed which prevented the government from
affOrding that moral support to the Cubans
which otherwise would have been given.
These complications do not now stand in the
way. There is no longer Republican gov
eminent in Spain. nor is there any pr0ba-
bility Of The establishment of one. Why
then shou I'D we afford that government a
moral support in crushing out the extern
sion of our own system in this part of the
worlds
Then comes the lawful application of
the law of public interest:
1t can be shown that our inaction in the
Cuban question has imposed upon the
people of the United States an actual loss
of upward of 100000 900. If this be the
consequence OF treaties, if our obligations
under such instruments are so injurious to
our interests, is there any reason why they
should not cease to bind U.S.
The concluding paragraph of this ar
ticle encourages the probability of the re-
port that the President. only waited on
Congress for the initiative:
We would impress upon Congress the ad-
visibility of their resolving upon immediate
recognition of the independence of the
Cuban republic, and authorization of the
President to negotiate a commercial treaty
with it. 1t may be inferred that the Presl.
dent will lose no time in giving effect to
such a resolve.
This is encouraging We in the South
have to wait for the drum tap of the gov
eminent. Our forces are properly in
hand, but impatient, and eagerly await
the command ''On with the flag of free
dom! To the tropics.
