CLUB-OCRACY.

General Washington, was regarded IN his
day as q safe and prudent man. though
if busting along at the present day he
would be only taken at large discount.
When the French revolution was in &C.
tive eruption il is known that the clubs
carried on the government pari passu
with the Assembly. These clubs super.
yised the action Of the government. and
impelled it to immediate and violent &C.
ton whenever the popular passions re.
CURED it.
These clubs crossed the Atlantic and
were brought to bear upon the American
government, as in the action of the French
minister Genet, who wished 70 push the
United States into the war as the ally OF
France. The American government, un-
der the control Of Washington, was too
firm 70 be moved by such agencies, and
the President pointed out the evil con-
sequences Of such counsels. He rea-
soned against irrepressible and self-chosen
authorities watching the legal authori-
ties tempting them with offers Of
popularity, or terrifying them with threats
of popular violence. His advice has
been followed, and throughout the United
States no such voluntary organization
assumes to prescribe the action of the
government. We have in Louisiana,
however, something Of the old French
insanity. Some Of our political clubs pre-
serve their names, organization and insig-
mia. They may be readily convened to
express ready made popular condemna-
ton Of any measure Of which the club
leaders do not approve.
While the right Of the American people
peaceably to assemble is sacred, it should
be remembered that their action should
appropriately be confined to the choice Of
rulers or the discussion Of measures, and
that they possess no power to demand OF .
sworn officer obedience to their orders. OK
resignation Of his Office.
Political organization is in the highest
degree important and proper, but club
ocracy to dictate what the government
shall OF shall not do proved very disas-
trous to France, and had better not be
adopted in Louisiana.

4 DIoNIr1ED OCCUPATION.

According to Holly Springs special to
the Memphis Appeal, "many of our citi-
zens" turned out last Monday to see to 1t
that the colored delegates to the Chatta-
nooga convention did not eat their dinner
at the first table. It appears that the
train arrived at Sixty-two Mile Siding,
with the colored passengers on board be-
fore the ''citizens had time to load their
shotguns and turn out Hence they sue
ceeded in getting an apology for breakfast
free of charge as the gentlemanly proprietor
refused to receive any pay. This SO incensed
the hoodlums of Holly Springs, that
a crowd Of armed men were waiting at the
depot on the arrival Of the train. The
passengers were. therefore, compelled to
90 without their dinner, and the princl-
pies of the Democratic party maintained
in their purity. 1t is aglorious sight to
see grown up men leaving their business
for the purpose of regulating the time and
manner in which colored passengers shall
eat their dinner at railway station. We
never read anything SO grand and dlsln-
terested in the history Of all the centuries
that have preceded the nineteenth. 1t
would be gratifying to US TO know that
the generous landlord at Holly Springs
rendered to the patriotic intermediates
the dinner which he had provided
for his expected guests. Blu. which due
enforcement Of the ancient traditions
caused to grow cold on his hands. Some
encouragement ought to be extended to
men who run such q risk 70 make them
selves the laughing stock Of the world.
They certainly earned the cold yictuals.
and we hope they got them.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

For some time past there has been
small party in the West disposed to raise
and agitate the question Of the removal Of
national capital. In pursuance Of this
purpose convention was held in Cincin-
natl in October, 1870, presuming to be
national convention. At the solicitation
of the parties interested in the contem.
plated removal, a number Of the Governors
Of States sent delegates TO the convention,
and after q pretty thorough discussion of
the subject, in which the advocates Of
a new seat Of government for the nation
freely ventilated their reasons for such q
course. the convention was adjourned
without any material victory in favor of
removal, beyond the fact that All execu.
tive committee was appointed, empowered
10 call another convention at such time
and place as might be deemed advis-
able. It appears now. from circular
recently addressed to Governor Kellogg.
BY Mr.. L. Z. Heavis, secretary OF the
aforesaid executive committee, that that
body has made call for another national
convention 20 be held at Louisville, Ken.
tuckv. on the twentieth Of The present
month. The convention is intended to
be composed Of delegates from all the
States and Territories and from the Dis.
trict Of Columbia. who are TO be clothed
with authority 20 consider the question Of
the removal Of the capital, and take such
action ,heieupon as shall be deemed wise
and proper. The circular explains the
purpose Of the convention, and requests
the Governors 20 whom it is addressed 10
appoint delegates 20 the same. Those
fayorinc removal will undoubtedly com.
ply with the request. while those who are
aye.se 20 i. may deem it most prudent
not 20 appoint delegates for any such
purpose. We understand Governor kel-
locg does not feel authorized to act in the
premises and therefore Louisiana is not
likely to be represented in the convention
to be held at Louisville on the twentieth
Of the present month

A Washington dispatch to the Repudhc,
of the twelfth instant, says. regarding the
monitors at this port: The gentleman who
filed claim at the Navy Department in
which he demands $4,000 day of the gov

had been bid of to him at New Orleans
before the Penn insurrection, and which
were used by the government during the
insurrection, has Withdrawn his claim lie
discovered that the sale to him was not
valid until it had been approved by the
government, and that, if he persisted IN
presenting his absurd claim for compenss-
ton for their use pending the insurrection,
his very valuable auction purchase was
likely to be forfeited

THE SNUFF OF TIE CANDLE.

The City Council has done at the last
end Of their term Of Office just what
should have been done a. the first. The
adoption of ordinance No. 2745 proves
that the Administrators have cut loose
from politics for the present. and intend
to devote the remainder OF their official
days to business. We do not approve of
the plan adopted, SO ia. as it calls in out
side assistance to do the work the present
city officers are we'll paid for doing. But
the proposition, so far as il looks TO the
impartial collection Of the city revenue,
must command the approya! Of every
fair-minded man. One-half OF two
thirds in amount Of the city taxes
for 1874 have been paid long ago.
Those who have thus discharged their
duties are probably as poor as those who
have neglected theirs. IN many cases We
know these payments come hard, and
pinched severely, while We see names Of
men on the delinquent lis: that stand for
good cSedi. on the books Of those COM
mercial spies who make it business to
inquire into everybody's standing and re.
