The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1875-12-28

1t is enough at this late hour &c
refer the readers of the DEMOCRAT to
the proceedings, to be found elsewhere
OF the immense gathering Of citizens at
st. Patrick's Hall last evening for the
purpose OF sustaining Mayor Leeds in
his recent message to the Council on
the subject of the city's taxes and the
violation Of Local Self-Government in
New Orleans by the present constitu-
ton, Independently Of the city, of the
Metropolitan Police and School Boards.
The resolutions appear to have been
carefully prepared and on examining
them will be found to be as mas
culine in their tone, as they are
full OF truth in the assertion
Of principles vital to the healthy
existence and proper enjoyment of mu-
nicipal freedom. These principles are
indeed distinctly affirmed by the wisest
jurists and thinkers in the country,
without regard to party character, as
being necessary to our enlightened APP
probation Of true Republican freedom.
This meeting OF citizens from every

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

One of the most enjoyable affairs
that has lately taken place, was that
which transpired last Sabbath after
noon at the Lafayette Presbyterian
Church Rev. r. X. Markham, d. D.
PASTOR. It has long been q custom for
the children Of the Sabbath School to
assemble on Sunday afternoons for
the purpose OF singing the hymns of the
church, to enable them as they grow
up to sing Gods praises us u congregra-
ton.
After having sung two or three of
their beautiful hymns, their pastor rose
and stated that he would read report
of the result Of the entertainment held
lately under the management OF the
older scholars; but just at that moment
Mr.. H. N. Ogden came forward, saying
that he was compelled to interrupt the
proceedings. Addressing himself to
DR.. Markham, ut the same time draw
ing from his pocket very heavy and
handsome watch chain, he stated that
he had been selected by the school to
present the same to him as u token OF
the love and esteem in which he was
held by each and every one OF them.
For his many ninistrations, both in
sickness and in health, they could never
forget him, and as this was the season
for making hearts happy, they consid-
cred this the most appropriate time for
them to show to him their appreciation
Of his labors in their behalf.
The surprise was so complete that the
doctor was hardly able to answer He
thanked each and every one from the
bottom Of his heart for the very beauti-
full gift, accepting it In the same spirit
in which 1t was given, assuring all that
his labors would be continued i'm the
future as in the past for them. Turning
to Mr.. Ogden who is one Of the officers
OF the church, he thanked him specially
for the very kind manner in which he
presented the gift. After singing two
or more hymns, the doctor read his re-
port (which he had almost forgottem,
and which was a very creditable one.
Then was sung that good old hymn,
There is u Fountain"
After the benediction, the meeting
was dismissed, and every one went to
their homes with but the one thought,
"What u good thing it was to be there"

Meanwhile Mr.. Morrison and his com
mittce are doubtless well aware that
their business Is to provide the taxes
for necdful federal expenditures with as
much equality and us little extra costas
possible. But here are u few articles
imported in 1874, on which less than
$50, 900 were taxed for the United States
Treasury, but which cost the people Of
the United States ut least an unneccs-
sary two and half million dollars be-

swear to anything he might want; Tor
carpet baggers and scalawags practice,
TO degree never before known, upon
the old maxim, falsely attributed to the
Jesuits, that any villainy is commenda-
BILE which is conmittedsin behalf OF the
faith. With many OF them, 1t Is to
be regretted, for the sake Of human ma
ture, that often perjury Is the pathway
to official trust. Probably Gen. Grant 8
Minister to Belgium might be brought
to repeat that fearful tale which he tele-
graphed to Gov. Ames last fall, OF the
masked and blood-stained Kuklux who
rode threateningly into his premises
and drove his wife, half-clad, from her
house at midnight, while he, her lord
and protector. lay pcrdu in buck
basket OF foul and Sinking linen.
IL Is true that he has since Admitted
that II was all u dream, the product OF q
naturally fervid Imagination, assisted
perhaps by frequent toasts to General
Grant i'm some Of Babcock's crooked
whisky. Yet it is quite as substantial
as any OF the stories which have for
years past fired the Northern heart and
blinded that people to the steady en-
croachments Of corruption and despot-
ism. Its capacity to do SO has, however,
ceased. The rank perjury which was
disclosed by an investigation Of the tales
told from Alabama and Louisiana last
year has cast so much light upon the
character of carpet-bag and scalawag
witnesses, that we doubt whether Mr..
Morton will be able to reap much fruit
from the labors Of his committee, how
ever carefully it may be organized for
partisan purposes.

Mayor Leeds and bringing, as far as
practicable, the whole moral weight OF
the community to bear upon the Legis-
lature, now soon to assemble, i'm u de-
mand for reform and redress, and Ii

bear attempting to execute unjust and
offensive laws until the Legislature shall
intervene, cannot fail to carry with
it meaning that must command
the profoundest respect from those
whose duty 1t Is to consult the will and
welfare of the people. The Council are
prepared, we presume, to support the
Mayor promptly and efficiently in his
honorable efforts both to mitigate the
cruel and crushing taxes, and also to
assert the necessary and absoluterights
Of the city in favor OF its Local Self
Government, and in respectful but un-
qualified denial of the constitutional
authority Of the Legislature to take
from the city two important institutions
essentially municipal, and also to trans
fer the taxing power belonging alone to
the Legislature to two such institutions,
not limited by any restriction what
ever It is certain that nothing could
be more insulting and odious, and
we think it was quite time
that the Mayor first speaking
in behalf of the people, had protested,
rs he has done, in the shape of an un-
answcrable argument against the longer
continuance Of the outrage, and that the
people should have SO overwhelmingly
indicated their approval OF his efforts
last evening The speeches Of the dis
tinguisbed gentlemen who addressed
the meeting elected great applause, and
will be seen reported at length in the
account OF the proceedings in another

force and effect, and the resolutions,

The Mobile Tribune has seen the new
organ. 1t says" A new paper has been
started in New Orleans called the daily
DEMOCRAT, Col. Robert Tyler the chief
editor. If there be plenty of money in
it, it may last a month. The era Of
mere partisan papers in the country is
at an end. Besides, all the papers Of
New Orleans are partisan. What is the
use Of trying to increase their num-
ber?"
The present tiourishing condition Of
the Tribune, which claims to be non

ible evidence OF the wisdom of it's ear

The Louisiana u. s. JudgesIrip.

The announcement that Col. William
son, OF Shreveport, would probably re-
ceive the appointment Of U. s. District
Judge, for the Louisiana District, was
received with general favor throughout
the State, even by Democrats for he is
regarded as an honorable gentleman by
all but it seems not to have suited the
purpose of Mr.. West to have gentle
man in that office, so he procures the
appointment of the hummer Billings,
beside whom even Durell rises to the
dignity Of q gentleman in comparison.
When the contemplation Of his charac-
ter calls forth such remarks as the fol
lowing from a Republican paper, COM
ment from other sources is unnecessary.
The Madison JOuyHdl says;
The appointment by President Grant of r. C.
Billings to the District Judgcship Of Louisiana
is not an act which meets with very general
approval. The antecedents Of the gentleman are
not such as commend him TO public favor or
esteem on the contrary they are Just such as
position. The reputation of judge should be
stainless and above suspicion. and if Mr., Billings

In addition to what our friend Of

the appointment Of U. S. Judge to West,
and has told him that il Billings name
was sent in he alone must be responsible
for its confirmation that il he Grant

It is said to be currently reported in
Washington that West is at the head of

that Billings will not be hostile, but

LOVE or GoD.-Tbe love which warns hu-
man hearts,. regards our neigbboras ourselves.
and suprcnely adores the living God, is not
attained, but obtained. 1t cannot be found
amid the vanities of life but is sent down
from heaven. II is not an invention , 1t isan
inspiration. 1t is the new life which is plant
ed in MS when we are born again. " The love
of God which is shed abroad in our hearts by
the Holy Ghost which is given unto us" 1t is,
the handspring of all usefulness and devotions
to God or man. 1t is tho wellsspripg Of All
pure theaylats, of all noble deeds. and - Al
trac aspirations 1t affords strength, encour-
agcment, and pleasure, in the performances of
the most unpleasant duties Of life. II is suf-
ficicnt to the grandest sacrifices that cilcum~'
stances can demand of us. As the beams of
the early spring sun dissolve the ice, break,
the letters of Winter, and quicken the slum-
beers Of nature, so the love of God rising on
the human soul dispels sluggishness dullness;
and WEAKNESS, and quickens our holy actiyi-
ties. Love cannot be idle. Being the gift Of
God it is within the reach Of all. Como to
JESUS, and rekindle the holy flame on The altar
of your heart.
