man to change hnAsme. And there can
be no doubt that the same objection APP
plies to party.
The Picayune is, however, quite de-
lighted, and in its exuberant joy declares
it to be just the thing:
That name is comprehensive, popular and
unObjeetiOnsble. It. meets every require
ment Of the situation, offers to ali parties
common ground whereon they can assem-
bic in harmony and equality, and expresses
in itself the true nature of the cause in
which we are engaged.
The words ''all parties" do not apply
to Republicans, since, under the new dis
pensation, none of the people belong to
that party. At any rate, it is evident
more importance is attached to the patro-
nymic of the galvanized, white-washed,
old organization of politicians, than to
the platform of principles. The latter is
no longez necessary. The name meets
every requirement, and promises to elect
everybody to Office. The uniform of
Georgia major is gorgeous in comparison
to the gauzy covering proposed by the
committee, and exultantly applauded by
the Picaytne as an alias for Democracy.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

About the time all the Southern Demo
cratic politicians were intent upon loudly
proclaiming that they had accepted the
situation, the field marshals of the Re-
publican party in the Northern States
began to fold their telescopes, with the
idea that the great work was done Many
very good men, who have no decided taste
for politics, except as duty, were ready
to listen to tn. suggestion that the mission
Of the Republican party was accomplished,
and new issues were about to succeed to
the interminsble wrangle which grew out
on. of the settlement Of the question OF
slavery. 1t thought, and very naturally
too, that the clothing of the colored man
with the right to vote would have the GER
tain effect to place him under the protec-
ton of the politicians, and that his future
would be assured.
The recen. revival of systematic perse.
cution of the colored people in the South
has, however, suddenly awakened the
Northern people from dream of fancied
security, and satisfied them that sore-
thing like constant vigilance is required
to maintain the advantages already Sc.
cured. Pennsylvania is the first stats to
speak on this question, and the utterance

TEE FIFTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.

The fifth Senatorial district of this
State is one Of the most important in Lou.
isiana, and the mum Der and intelligence
OF its population, together with its great
wealth, gives it a potential voice in the
Legislative councils of the State. This dis
trict is decidedly Republican, and the fact
that nomination by that party is equiva-
lent to an election, has caused intrigues
to be exercised resulting sometimes, in
the selection Of Republicans to Offices for
which they were neither morally nor intel
lectually qualified. This has been not
ably the case in the parish of Plaquemines
(Which with Algiers forms the district)
where the school affairs elected from the
State Superintendent of Public Education
in his last annual report (page 22) the
following statement:
l would gladely refrain from comment
ing upon the present and past management
OF school affairs in Plaquemines parish. did
my duty allow. But, when gross irregu-
iarltles, to use no harsher term, become
known to me, should be derelict to dutv
did not thus publicly expose them.
The exposure of the 'gross irregu.
larities" committed by those intrusted
with the fund that, intended as it was to
educate the young poor, should have
been sacred, caused the greatest indigna-
ton among the people, and the sagacious
leaders Of the Republican party deter.
mined that the repetition Of such scandal
GUS practices should be prevented by the
election to position of only such men as
were at once honest and capable. This
position was antagonized by that class
of politicians who defend official mis-
conduct in Republican, simply and only
for the absurd reason that the wrong
door claims to be Republican, forgetting
it would seem, that the party itself owes
its very existence to the pledge of its
founders that corruption should be
punished and incompetency and dis.
honesty opposed.
Naturally enough, the interest Of those
Republicans Eho propose to redress evils
within their own party lines has been
given to the nomination OF q cautiitiaiis 10 |
their district in the State Senate,
for which honor Messrs. Andrew Dumont,
Of Algiers, and Harry Mahoney, Of Plaque
mines, were the only aspirants There
having been no Senatorial Republican
Executive Committee of the district, it |
was long since agreed between the
gentlemen named tho other candidate

torial convention should meet Thursday, |

TEE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION,

! The convention which met on Monday
at Baton Rouge proceeded to business
with unexpected unanimity. A perma-
nent organization was effected the first
day, and yesterday the convention nomi-
mated Mr.. Moncure, Of Shreveport, for
Treasurer by reclamation. The delegates
from the congressional districts presented
their candidates for Representatives, a
platform was adopted, and the convention
adjourned sine die.
Mr.. Moncure is one of the strongest
men inside the Democratic party in
Louisiana, and his selection shows the
good judgment of the Republican State
Convention in the nomination of Mr..
Dubuclet. A weaker man than he would
have insured the election of Mr.. Moncure;
for the fact must be borne in mind that
thousands of voters in Louisiana have cut
loose from all political organiza tons and
resolved to support the best men nomi-
mated by either party.
The nomination of General Gibson for
Congress in the first district was not unex.
pected by his friends, and is no unworthy
tribute to his individual worth and party
services. We have no idea, however,
that be will be serious obstacle to Gen.
eral Sypher's reelection.
In the second district the Democracy
have put forth their best man. Mr.. Ellis
is a man of fine intellect and strong mag
netic force. He is perhaps the best i'm
promptu stump speaker in Louisiana, if
not in the South, and has strong personal
following. He will certainly give Judge
Dibble closer run than any candidate
the Democracy could have put in the
field.
With the other nominees we are not so
familiar; but, on the whole, re conceive
the Baton Rouge convention has taught
the Republican party lesson they will
do well to heed in all future proceedings.
There are many important nominations
yet to be made, and they should be Of

The Democrats are leaking unusual forts

leadership Of competent and irreproacha.
