THE GRETNA FIASCO.

That affair on the right bank, in the
parish of Jefferson, was most remark
able failure. One might have thought,
after reading the flaming account in the
Picaya.,se, that the lion and the lamb had
finally put themselves in their little bed
together in that outlying region. A long
array of Republican clubs was paraded as
having had representatives at the confer
ence committee, and, to the uninitiated,
it looked like complete sell out of the
party. But the next issue of the veracious
chronicle announced that the only Repub-
lican clubs named in the previous issue
which had not entered into the agreement
were the Sumner, the Lincoln and the
Continental, Or in other words, the only
Republican clubs over there. The So
called Reform clubs, classed as Repub-
licans, exist only in the imagination of
some hopelessly defeated Democ ratio can
didate.
By the by, is it not little curious that
all the Terrebonne compromises are
started in parishes where the Republicans
have immense majorities, in the parishes
where the Democrats never could elect
candidate? Therefore they get together and
agree to give the Republicans one half of
the Offices and to take the other half for
themselves. How generous! How mag
unanimous! Take Jefferson parish as an
example. The Republican party has
clear majority Of from one thousand to
fifteen hundred. It is therefore solemnly
proposed that if they vii! vote for Mr..
Moncure Tor State Treasurer, for MIR. Ellis
for Congress-, agains. the constitutional
amendments reducing taxation. and for q
Democratic parish judge. the White
League will generously accord them two
out OF three Representatives. State
Senator and other local officers. But
the Democrats are still more mag
unanimous, over the left, as the boys
say. After getting up the so-called
conference with half dozen colored men
called in from the levee for the occasion,
to nominate some bolter for the Senate
and other boilers against the regular
ticket, they quietly cross the river to Dan
Hickok's, and put forth a regular White
League ticket, chuckling the while over
the idea that they have left the Repub-
licans divided so that they can march into
Office in November. 1t was, indeed, a
brilliant conception, and was carried out
with such wonderful secrecy that no one
could possibly imagine what they were
about. Doubtless the National Demo.
cratic Committee will send for the Jeffer-
son compromises to conduct the next
national campaign.

PHILOLOGY AND POLITICS.

The Bee picks us up in two languages.
It says we have translated French word
wrong and advises US ''to buy French
dictionary" We had done that very
thing. Seeing the word "youerie'' used
among other terms of defamation inva-
riably applied by the Bee to everything
Republican, we did not care to do the Bee
injustice and so had looked to Spiers l.
Surenne's French and English Dictionary
School edition) for the word. This die
tionary translates the word ''rouer;e" S. f.
''proAigate action, the very words We had
used, and the only definition given by
that authority. So we had not only
bought but consulteda French dictionary.
and it conyicts our Gallo teachers of not
knowing their own language. We remit
this pathological question to the Bee and
the dictionary makers.
We used the words American Ian.
guage" deliberately. It is the compound
language made by compound people.
We use it because this is the American
nation. and the only American nation on
this continent. What is the English Ian.
guage: A compound derived from, the
Saxon, the Latin. Dutch. Norman and
French. with terms adopted from all its
conquered possessions in Asia. America
and Africa. England like PAROLES ''hath
been to a feast Of languages and hath
stolen the scraps" Have we not the
same right Of capture aud adoption:
We and others have used the tern.

sense that France might have spoken Of

Of Canada before England Rad conquered

yet powerful! people-from . people. we
will take leave to say. conquered by pre-
cisely the same partisan violence which
the Bee has copied and dif1sed to the ex.
tent OF its limited circulation and influence.
We are aware the Bee neither likes the
language. the politics nor the government
OF the United States. It has discussed
the forfeiture and retrocess;on Of the
thirteen American States established on
the territory o: Louisiana. purchased by
the United States from France and de-
Tended agains. Great Britain.
The Be-: has closed OF. the American
language from Its editorial columns. and
It has never spoken q word calculated TO
attach either the French residents Or
Crcoles to tue government Of this repub.
lie. Its politics have been as foreign as
the tongue in which it is printed.

leucs, and the President dispatched mill

lencs, and the President dispatched mill
tary and naval force to execute his consti-
tutional obligation. '.' '' ''''
These acts Of the federal government
the Bulletin denounces as measures of
"war," and makes q hysterical appeal to
the present population and to posterity to
redeem the principles of State rights.
Such language is to be deprecated. 1t
is not reasonable. 1t is not just. The
Union must be preserved, and what would
the Union be if each community should
be allowed to kill and run off all the peo-
pie whose politics it did not like, and
claim a States right to do so without re-
sponsibility? OF what value would an
American citizens life be if man may be
slain or robbed in neighborhood where
it is considered no crime to do so?
When these poor men were torn from
their homes and families and shot in cold
blood, was there no crime committed?
Does the Bulletin call it ''war" to punish
murderer? Is it deed of honor to violate
safe conduct, and is the government
which performs its legal duty in Furnishing
such treachery to be denounced as an op-
pressor of Louisiana?
We counsel some reason, some justice
in the treatment of this subject. It is
doctrine unknown elsewhere that the ar
rest of man charged with murder is an
act of "war," and no enthusiasm can be
got up on the idea that an enforcement of
federal law to punish criminals is an in
vasion of the reserved rights Of the States

alien has right to come here, and say
things, in any language, of this govern
nent that he would not be allowed in his
own country to say of his own govern
ment We have had great deal Of Eng
isn money spent in America to pro-
duce the impression that the Amer
lean protective system was an evil.
There have been foreign travellers
and writer's in America who have
ridiculed and maligned our people and
our laws. We have Had European inter-
vention, direct and indirect, to foment
the separation of the Union, and we have
had press publications that Systematically
traduced republic at the moment when
Democrats were struggling to regain their
empire over Republicans. The United
States has stood all this and prospered.
1t must be poor affair of government
that can not stand abuse and traduction
in any tongue its people can not speak.
We have been very complaisant Aliens
have gone so far as to take part in our
elections. A Frenchman may come here
with nothing but BARRIERS tackle or a lot
of billiard balls in his sack; he speaks bit
terly of an American citizen who comes
here from Massachusetts,, State that
helped to found the Union. 1t was but
few weeks since one of these said, 81
would raise the black flag over my house
for Kellogg" 1t might have been sup
posed he had served in some regiment
during the war, but he added: II have
lived here twenty-five years, and have
never taken citizenship in the United
States" Aliens even bear arms in our
civil strifes. This was done extensively
even by foreign consuls at New Orleans
during our civil war, and there were
aliens armed and fighting in the late civil
war in our State. The consuls of these
foreigners should inform those men that
in so doing they have violated the laws
and treaties of neutrality, and may have
to answer as filibusters, just as Critenden
and Walker, in Cuba and Nicaragua. MIR.
Seward put up with a good deal of this
thing in New Orleans when the relations
with foreign powers were too delicate to
be tempered with, but the United States
is in no such dilemma now, and the same
game may be dangerous. However, we
leave this to the federal authorities, and
merely say to all alien speakers and
writer's, with the "Host of the Garter" to
the French and Welsh disputants: ''Let
them keep their limbs whole and hack our
English"-or our American, as we persist
in calling IL.

AMISAPPLIED PROVERB.


The Bulletin quotes the suggestive pro-
verb, 'The mills of the gods grind slowly,
but grind to powder" as q consoling one
to the banded murderers of this State who
are now about to be brought to trial for
their crimes. 1t likewise makes the ''South-
ern people" in general accomplices in the
deeds of violence which have turned some
portions of the South into Golgotha and
branded the name of Louisiana with IN.
fanny, in spite of the numbers OF her citi.
zens who reprobate such deeds. But our
contemporary misapplies the proverb. The
revengeful consolation afforded by it is not
for those whom the Bulieti,. represents. On
the contrary. they are the very ones who
are undergoing the pulverizing process
awarded to all wrongdoers. 1.-The clani
of sabres, the tramp. tramp of armed
men, and the low. ominious rumble of ar.
tillery," what are these but the echoes
evoked by that divine machinery which
has been set in motion by the retributive
Justice of Providence. The same spirit
which in bygone days melted bad men in
the South to infame their fellow-citizens
to the point Of rebellion against the ma
ton on the mere election to the Presi-
Dental chair of man known to be OPP
posed to their peculiar institution; the
same spirit which conducted the resulting
war with fiendish atrocity, the details of
which for the sake Of humanity and our
common citizenship we forbear to do
more than allude to: the same spirit which
since the war has manifested steady op.
position to every measure established for
the elevation of that class whose enslave.
ment and exploitering was held by the
'master race" to be a God-ordained
duty; this same spirit. but half sub.
dued by the results Of the war. has
been, at intervals, ever since displaying
its ferocious and bloodthirsty nature
by murderous attacks upon all who
have refused to submit to its tyrannical
dictation. Not seeing the overruling
hand Of Providence. but only political
triumph of their opponents in the repeated
disappointments and humiliations which
have followed these attempts. the slaves of
this vindictiye and sanguinary spirit have
heaped outrage upon outrage and murder
upon murder until. at length, the national
government has been compelled to assume
the bestowal and insuring Of that protec-
ton to which its citizens are entitled, and
which the State governments in COMMIT.
mites ruled by this sauguinary spirit have
been rendered unable to afford. In giving
this protection. the government Of the
United States does indeed represent the
'.n,ills Of the gods" and those who by
their crimes have come within reach of
its crushing power do stand deseryedly in
danger OF being ground to powder.
Verify. I: proverb is two-edged sword

by passion are likely to wound them
