Crescent City Relief association.

| New ORLEANS. Oct. 10, 1874
The CRESCENT CITY RELIEF ASSOCIA-
TION has been organized by the Ladies of New
Orleans for the purpose Of providing fund from
which aid may be rendered to the families Of
| those who fell in defense of our rights ON the
memorable Fourteenth of September, 1874, and
| assistance given to the wounded, some Of whom
are permanently disabled, and others made help
less for months to come.
At the last meeting it was decided to address q
circular to the ladies throughout the State, sole.
iting their cooperation in increasing the amount
of this fund.
The Association suggests the formation Of
Branch Associations in every parish in the State
with officers chosen by the ladies' composing
these, for the purpose of collecting subscriptions
and donations, either in money, clothing, food.
or such articles Of production as may be made
available in furthering the objects of the Associa.
ton. We venture to suggest that in addition to
personal efforts, this cause may be, through pub
lie entertainment and otherwise before the people.
that thus general interest may be awakened and +
opportunity afforded to all to aid in this noble
work.
In making this appeal, we feel confident Of the
hearty cooperation Of the daughters of Louis. IS
ana, who have never failed to give their willing
response to the call Of patriotism and beneyo-
lence.
MRS. R. A. WILKINSON, President.

HOW TO VOTE.

+ 1t is generally conceded that the best plan
TO prevent frau1ulently registered individuals
from voting at the coming election is the
precinct system-that is: divide the different
wards into voting precincts, and let every
registered voter cast hfs ballot in the precinct
wherein he resides. This plan, we learn,
however, is opposed by the Radical members
of the Advisory Board" evidently because
it secures fair play for they can offer no other
cause.
If Messrs. VOORHEES, md McCaleb, the Con-
servative members of the 'Advisory Board"
will insist on this proposition none other
is acceptable under the circumstances-they
may claim to have accomplished something
for the honest people; otherwise, we fail to
see how to prevent the use of duplicate regis
tration papers, which is well known device
employed by the Radicals to stuff the ballot
boxes.

NEW ORLEANS AND MEXICO.

We learn that Mr.. Charles Morgan, witt
his Characteristic appreciation of the neces
sites Of New Orleans trade, thinks seriousl,
Establishing line Of steamships on tn,
route between New Orleans and Vera Cruz
provided Congress will afford reasonable
mail subsidy. ...
The simple fact that a shrewd business man,
such as Mr.. Morgan is known to be, contem.
plates this enterprise, settles conclusively lone
disputed question, and demonstrates the fact
that New Orleans and Vera Cruz have recipro-
cal commercial interests sufficient to Justify a
hrst-c lass steamship line.
We are glad to make this announcement
which comes to us from a reliable source. and
we are further inforned that it is the inten-
ton OF Mr.. Morgan to organize an excursion
to the city Of Mexico at an early date. One
OF the finest steamships of his present line

The Mexican and United States Govern
ments have already subsidized line of steam

New York and divert trade from NewuOrleans
instead Of bringing it here. We must have

THE DUTY OF OUR WOMEN.

While we recognize the devotion and pa
triotism of our true New Orleans women, VIII
in a few days, and under great difficulties
succeeded in netting ten thousand dollars TO
the relief of the families of the slain of the 14tl
OF September, we cannot conceal our desire t.
see their noble work extended and enlarged
IN order to fully meet the eHgencies of the
situation. Ten thousand dollars is a small
sum to accomplish the proposed relief, but
perfect organization and system can readily
increase the sum tenfold.
The entire State of Louisiana has been
benefited by this sacrifice of blue blood on
the memorable day, and it has even extended
its beneficial results over the vast country
which the world was wont to term the model
republic affirming, as it did, once more the
right of revolution against usurpation and
oppression.
1t behooves our women, therefore, to make
known to the entire country, and to Louisi-
ana particularly, that they are determined to
prosecute their work as far as money can
afford consolation and succor to the afflicted
and destitute widow and her fatherless chill
dren.
There should, therefore, be organized in
every parish Of Louisiana, and in other States
where We have friends, a Branch Ladies'
Relief Association" to cooperate with the
central association in this city, the members
OF which are taxed the SMALL sum of ten
cents per month the aggregate income rep
resenting thousands Of dollars without incon-
veniencing the individual members of the
The plan is not a new one, but
has been successfully attempted heretofore-a
fact which dispenses us from advancing any |
in its favor.
In this connection We may recall the out
burst of sympathy which occurred in st. Louis
when the news of the downfall of the usurper
that city. In St. Louis we have
many warm friends, who, if made acquainted
With the restitution which has been created
~ the revolution, would gladly express their
ympathy in a substantial manner.
System and intelligent cooperation, how
ver, are the only means by which this cher
shed object is to be attained, and We urge the
ladies' Crescent City Association and their !.
Gentlemen co-workers to renewed efforts to-
Yards the achievement of the second great .
ictory contemplated under the banner of
harity. 6

We don't kno,c, but it seems to us that il
would be well to keep an eye on Beckwith and
Packard. They are lying entirely too low,
and keeping entirely too dark, not to mean
mischief Beckwith has not forgotten the
severe linguistic drubbing he got in the Grant
parish case. and Packard, like the Dutch
mans son. doesn't say much, but grits his
teeth and thinks d. about the l4th of Sep
tember.
By-the-way, that was q scurvy thing in
Packard inducing Major E. A. Burke to re-
sign from the Advisory Board on the promise
of reGgning himself and then going back on
his promise after Major Burke had taken him
ct Ms word and Withdrawn. Il Eas scurvy,
butt was nothing more than We might have
expected. and we shall understand next time
and all the time hereafter exactly how to deal
with Radicals as class. and especially with
Packard.

Whose Once This Is.

We want tho whole world to know
that this is neither DIR. Calderwood's
nor DIR. Bracey's Office; nor is it the
Office of Chief Justice Strother. The
old gentleman who called four times, in
as many days, to know if this was the
Land Office, is now informed, positively
for the last time, that it is not the Land
Office, either. If any person, hereafter,
comes to us to send a dispatch over the
wires, we shall receive the money, and
send the dispatch through our columns
all the wires we have. We have two
signs, but we scorn to put them out.
We say, emphatically, once for all that
this is our Office, and the next man
who, by inquiry, insinuates to the con-
trary, will be hoisted into the street by
our Bogardus steam kicker. It is our
business to tell people whose Office this
is, but if they wish to know whose it is
not, they must so to the Recorders
Office. They will find there about ten
thousand people they know who do not
own, or occupy this office; and, by
going to the Clerks Office, they will
find as many more, &C excusing out"
some who want to own it in the way
of " damages" If we have any reader
who has never seen this Office, we will
put him in default, simply by saying
that this very Office stands over against
the Temple Of Justice, wherein those
old rebel soldiers, Judges Ray and
Baker, meet out justice to the innocent
and guilty alike. There is 81 battery of
Gatlin guns planted on our front steps
and II magazine OF nitro-glycerine in
the rear, in a little building on the
river bank. We keep several hundred
stands OF small arms, the flag ship of
the Ouachita, tho original contraband
in the Freedmen's Bureau, the returns
of the Lynch Board and the power of
attorney Of Vicegerent Durell, besides
other formidable arrange
ments, in the office. We will answer
all civil questions with civil answer,
but we will not treat, otherwise than
as an enemy, the man who takes us for
a Directory. Such visitor had better
come with his life insured.
