A PROPER EXPLANATION.

The DEMOCRAT Is always more than
ready to correct any false suspicion OF
error into which 1t may inadvertently
fall, and which, II not corrected, is cal
culated to do injury and injustice. II
seems that we did Mr.. Burke, the Adj
ministrator Of Improvements, uninten-
tional injustice few days ago in a
paragraph respecting the investigation
ordered into the books and records dur
ing Mr.. Vests term Of the Office as Mr..
Burke's predecessor. We were under
the mistaken impression and 80 stated
=, that Mr.. Burke had neglected to dis
charge the duty OF investigating Mr..
Vests accounts and reporting the re-
suit, and this without cxplanation. We
are now informed by unimpeachable
authority that Mr.. Burke has not neg
lected the subject since the committee
was selected, but for the sake Of tho
rough investigation, first appointed Mr..
Malochee, the President Of the Parish
Committee. to conduct 1t, and he having
declined, he then procured the services
OF Col. Isaac Patton, who is now en-.
gagged on the books, papers and accounts
Of the West administration. We shall
look for Col. Patton's report with no
little interest, and, In the meantime, II
affords us pleasure to do Mr.. Burke nc
more than sheer Justice.

The Testimony Of 1872 Against the Lot.
terry Infamy.

We find the Grand Jury Of this parisl
for 1872 thus dwelling upon the indis
criminate open sale of lottery tickets
It is a remarkable coincidence that the
press at that time, with one exception
undertook and executed the suppression
of this lottery paragraph, No. 2, sub
stituting for it u line OF stars.
2. We would ask the court IL we are
excluded from complaining of the open
and indiscriminate sale OF lottery tick
cts to all classes and ages OF our citi-
zens. We are aware that it claims to be
protected by statute law, but we are
equally well aware that it saps the
foundations of public morality, super
induces the gamblers spirit of greed
paralyzes patient labor by the disease
of desiring to become suddenly rich al
others cost, and paves the way, as we be.
lieve, for generation of youthful lotte-
nv ticket buyers to become at Il more ma
ture age generation of dangerous and
dishonest spectators, il not thieves
The Grand Jury has not the least doubt
that the legalized Inauguration of lotte-
ries in Louisiana is among the deadliest
blows that could be aimed at public Sc
curity, industry, honesty, contentment
self-rcliance and that sense OF rcctitude
which springs from consciousness OF
duty performed, even though that duty
takes upon itself the form of perhaps ill
requited toll The lottery disease be.
gets and fosters the very vices against
which criminal justice levels it's penal
ties. Under the poisonous influence OF
lotteries. and the desire to play in them,
petty larceny is especially rife among
the young, who thus seek to provide
themselves with the means, and nu.
merOus instances Of fraud and embez-
element are known to have been com.
mitted under it's seductive temptations.
The unsupported legal fact, that Leg
islature has authorized lotteries, can
not, we trust, be urged why this Grand
Jury of citizens seeing their evil result
should not raise their voices in COM
plant against them, whether Of domes-
tic growth or foreign importation and
they are, like many other things, may
it please the court, to which in Louisi-
ana we are at present compelled to sub.
nit, being powerless to resist; but the
institution of the Grand Jury affords lis
as yet one Enclosed avenue by which
we can publish to our fellow citizens
and the world that we do not consent
to, nor are we content with, what We
know to be hurtful and believe to be
wrong. Nor do we think that a Legis-
lature even can make q bargain or grant
q concession, the effect Of which is no.
toriously to subvert the foundations OF
public virtue, corrupt the principles OF
children of the State, it's future hope
and, which must be conceded by the
wise and good, by statesmen and jul
rists, to be ''cOntra bones mores.'
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1875-12-26
Good Advice.

A citizen of East Feliciana, signing
himself consistency" writes to the
Clinton Patriot Democrat that now :" is
a good time for the negro lover to pass
around the hat among the worshippers
Of the favored race, North and South, to
raise fund to relieve the real wants of
their pets" The suggestion is one we
have often thought of and wondered
why some of those ardent demagogucs
who pretend to be such great friends to
the colored man have not started the
title" in motion.
When these public nuisances, known
as radical demagOgues, were first making
love to the negro they preached forty
acres and mule with great vehemence,
but alas "them forty acres an a
mule" have never yet put in an
appearance to give the "old men an de
wimmen a home" Next was their
great scheme of public education.
They preached this ':Hark from the
tombs," and to-day what sort of
schools have they established? They
have established few fourth rate
schools with first rate money-or in
other words a fourth part OF the
money collected for school purposes is
applied to keep up puny, worthless bur-
lesques called schools, while three
fourths OF the money is squandered for
salaries and otherwiseiunknown. These
are some OF the ways that are dark

To Editor N. O. Democrat:

To Editor N. o. Democrat:
eve Judge that the third term bug
bear has about run its course. We never
believed that there was anything in it
that the President ever seriously
thought of third term, or that there
was the least probability that the Re
publican Convention would nominate
Grant. Recent events confirm us In
this opinion. Trenton IN. d. Gazette
(Rep)
It is thus that the "faithful organs
OF the Administration wing Of the party
Of great moral ideas, together with Mr..
Grants satellites, are attempting to
make the country believe that the step
down and out, without an effort to per-
petuate the reign of his family, he has
neither selfishness nor ambition. But
the chances that our anti-Church and
State President will be again saddled
upon the Republican party at the head
Of their ticket, are growing stronger
every day.
There are two great causes which are
working for Mr.. Grants denomination,
and it will take all the power of tho dis
satisfied element of the party to com
bat them successfully; first of these is
the Methodist Episcopal Church North,
which controls the balance Of power of
the party at the East and III several OF
the Western States. This body, which
is always ready to seize upon any OPP
portunity to advance or enlarge it's tenn
poral power, considers Mr.. Grant its
property, Mr.. Springer to the contrary
notwithstanding, and will leave moth
ing undone to secure his denomination
and election.
Again, the ring Of Southern carpet
baggers are well aware that they cannot
maintain their power without the sup
port Of Federal bayonets, and these are
ut the disposal of Mr.. Grant, who, If
nominated, would use them to assist the
party, but, il he has no personal inter
est at stake, will, in all probability, let
the party take care Of itself, and enjoy
the season at the seaside as usual,
without troubling himself about poll
tics.
This will oblige the Republican trick
sters of the South to pursue the Il
tickle you and you tickle me" policy,
and cast their influence in the National
Republican Convention for the man
who can render them the most help.
BY springing these two influences
upon the party at the right moment it
is a serious question whether Mr.. Grant
cannot compel the Republicans to again
place him i'm Che White House or follow
him to defeat. TOPSY.
