A Proposed Programme.

[From the New Orleans Picayune]
We publish below an editorial
from the New Orleans Picayune,
which expresses our views exactly.
The coming campaign is a local one,
and # we are foolish enough to
make anything else out of it, we
will most certainly meet with the
failure which we will justly merit,
for our want OF common sense and
political foresight:
We have observed, with steadily
increasing amazement and disgust,
that at the opening Of every cam
paign in Louisiana the political
wiseacres lay great stress on recent
events at the Nortb-speak of
Democratic victories in Connect
cut, refer vaguely to the "sober
second thought Of the country"
and humble over all the rest of that
wretched twaddle which for so
many dreary years has passed cur
rent as political wisdom. Just as
our noble army Of ward.bummers
claim the support and countenance
of the community by virtue OF quail
tiles which they alone are able to
discover, so do the more advanced
and conspicuous frauds proceed to
tortify their assurances ofecoming
victory by. recitals of Democratic
achievements in remote quarters
of the globe.

TIE MARIA Lou1sE.-The citizens OF
our town, and the country generally,
are freely expressing their disapnro-
baton of the very singular conduct
on her last up trip, of this hitherto
popular steamer. Bearing the latest
news of the Colfax trial, the first mes
senger to inform us of the result OF
the trial, she rushed by, as we are in
formed, not being in town ourselves,
under full head of steams and with
out even throwing off a paper. The
pilot having thrown one ton friend,
gave us. the only opportunity to
learn what w were so anxious to
know.
This, taken in connection with the
fact that she had aboard the negro
purjurers who had helped to convict
our friends, and that they were
armed, as the New Orleans papers
report, with army guns, and with the
other fact as resorted, that she had
agreed to give McMickle one dollar
per head to secure their passage on
her, are topics of general converse
ton here and the popularity of the
Maria Louise is at a very low ebb.
We have known Red River captains
who would have refused to take the
purjurers either way on any terms.

long while. We remember how,
in 1868, during the Presidential
campaign, somebody patented the
discovery that Connecticut had just
gone. Democratic, and how We
screamed wildly for Connecticut,
and saw by one supreme intDition
that the Republican party was top
Epling to its fall. Weremember the
same thing IN 1872. when Connec.
ticu. repeated the operation, and
when we construed it as another
awakening from Radical stupor and
another sure forerunner Of Repub-s
lican, destruction. The mem0ty OF
all these poor, stupid, contemplate
little puerilities comes over US as
the peech,making epidemic breaks
out and we hear Of fresh harangQes
which reek with the old ilnmeasur.
able folly.
The issue now before Us is a
purely local one. We are trying to
get a decent Legislature-to drive
but the horde Of thieves and plum
derers who for so long have fasten
ell upon us, and under whose reek-
less and brutal misrule we are we'll
nigh ruined past all hope. The
question is local, vital, immediate
as nearly one of lite and, death as
any political question can be-and
yet there are men, protesting to be
patriots and aspiring to be- leaders,
who will come before an eager, ai,x-
ious asselnblage, and drivel about
their own deserts, and trot out their
wretched little oratorical puppets,
and never SO much as hint at IA
tional plan for destroying the car
pet Dagger or restoring our affairs
to the hands which ought to coli
troll them! 1t might fairly be ask
ed how far it profits ns if Connect
cut or Illinois or Missouri or any
other State does 60 Democratic; it
might be pertinently inquired
whether we ever derived any bene-
fit from Northern Democrats either
in Congress or in their respective
States; but everybody knows that
events have answered these ques-
tons, and that to pin our hopes on
such things is the very. .baMest I'M
becility.
What we want is a native, white,
honest and intelligent Legislature
in Louisiana, and the men chiefly
in demand just now are those who
will show us how to- get it. What
Connecticut did last month, or
what the United States may do in
1876, amounts absolutely to moth
ing in the present emergency. The
election of Eaton in New England
hasn't reduced taxation here, nor
will u Democratic victory two years
hence do us much good if the ne
groes and carpet-baggers remain in
power meanwhile. We want to
beat our enemies now-this summer
and right here at home. We
want to stop the robbery and plum
der, to destroy the robbers, and to
resume our proper attitude as mas
tiers Of Louisiana. -
Put US in the, way Of doing these
things, gentlemen, and next fall we
promise to take profound interest
in Connecticut Democracy, or even
in the dissemination of red f1apnel
shirts and moral pocket handker-
chiefs among the heather. Until
then, suppose we devote ourselves
to home affairs.
