THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN CLUB.
Some of Mysteries Unrayeled.

The attention of the community hav-
ing been drawn since the late bloody
skirmish upon the S. r. c., we translate
the following data upon that organiza-
ton from our esteemed contemporary
the Bee, who seems to be well informed
1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good. The ''late unpleasantness'
at the Mechanics Institute, between the
members Of the Southern Republican
Club" has had beneficent result inso-
much as investigation has followed and
thrown some light upon that organiza-
ton whose workings had hitherto re-
manned clothed in darkness
THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN CLUB
is now known to be a military organiza-
ton, subdivided into auxiliary clubs
belonging to almost every ward in the
city. each Of those clubs being q mill
tary company subject to the discipline
Of its officers and obeying the mandates
of the president of the mother club, who
may be styled the general.
Each district is under the orders OF a
vice president or colonel, who COM
mands the presidents of the different
ward clubs. These presidents are styled
captains ''intra murOs," but the vulgar
herd is supposed to be originally ignor-
ant of the fact.
Theepresidents, vice presidents, secre-
taries, treasurers, etc, OF these various
ward clubs, correspond in rank and
hierarchy to captains, lieutenants, SER
geants, ETC., and hold authority &C
cordingly.
Curious facial the members Of that
league are white or pass for such.
Sambo is ignored.
Their object is a charitable one, of
that style of charity which begins at
home; it is to control the Radical party
for the benefit Of carpet-baggers and
renegade white adventures, affiliated
with the concern.
The Southern Republican Club is de-
termined not to neglect any means to
obtain the end in view. 1t intends to
resort to process Of intimidation some
what akin to that of the Know Nothings
of old, whereby natrralized foreigners
are to be thugged and driven away from
the polls. How far they will succeed if
the ndtiUe Conservative element under
takes to protect the naturaliZed citizens,
is a question which remains to be set
tied.
The association is not by any means
small affair, and counts up to nearly
thousand men, belonging to the various
wards.
Among the members, some names

The telegraph announces the fact that
General Gibson's (of louisiana speech
to-day, which was in opposition to the
Hawaiian treaty, attracted great atten-
tion." Now. will not some able and
eloquent Northern or Western member
of Congress follow General Gibson with
an attractive speech against the High
aUayaa,s's treaty existing between the
Administration at Washington and the
carpet baggers of louisiana? 1t is a
much more important subject.

Was fine weather for ducks. We judge
this because we didn't see any OF them
out. We imagine they were cuddling
up in snug chimney corners, because all
day long the weather was threatening.
In fact, several times during the day
one would have thought it was going to
rain. Twas q regular April fool day,
and fooled everybody who thought so;
an occasional rumble Of thuAder made
it cheerful like, and sunlight was at a
heavy discount; in fact, the market was
so dull that we did not hear OF any
Offering Steamboatmen took a rest
and umbrella vendors were cheerful.
At latest accounts DR.. Palmer'S church
steeple was above water. In fact. we
had spell of weather.

THE MEANING OF THE CONNECTICUT
ELECTION.

HARTFORD, April 5.-Total vote 90, 4s5 against
Io09s3 last year. Result this year-Robnson
43.557:. Ingersoll, t1o71: Smith, 1871; Atwater
1886. Senate eighteen Democrats, four Repub-
licans; Democratic gain, one House 1853 Demo
Gratis. IS Republicans and Independents: Dem
ocratic gain "a; Democratic majority on Joint
ballot 81.
The Radical press of the country went
into ecstacies over the result Of the
cleo in New Hampshire. That re-
suit was attained by bribery and cor
ruption Of the grossest character The
Administration, staggering under the
blows inflicted by the exposure of the
corruptions Of its leading representa-
tives and Cabinet officials, and conscious
OF its utter weakness, resorted to all of
its vast resources, and concentrating
them upon the little State OF New
Hampshire, carried it. Weak kneed
and faint hearted Conservatives were
loud In their declarations that the Dem
ocratic party could not succeed in the
Presidential election, and Radicalism
was wild with delight. But the Democ-
racy of that State have already rallied.
Their Central Committee have just
issued a ringing address recounting the
corrupt means by which the Radicals
carried the State, appealing to the pride
OF the people, and expressing their de-
termination to redeem the people from
the shame Of bribery by recording the
votes Of the Granite State for the Demo
cratic nominees. And now, Connect
cut has voted. There is O falling off in
the total vote, no doubt resulting from
the certainty of Democratic success.
While in this diminished total the Dem
ocratic majority is not so great us it was
year ago, yet it is decided and en-
phatic. That there is no diminution in
the strength of the Democratic party Of
Connecticut is manifest from the fact
that the Democrats gain one Senator
and taCeaety-tro Representatives, and
have nice little acOrking majority of
EIGHTy-sEvEN on joint ballot in the State
Legislature, which securesa Democratic
United States Senator.
The Administration found its patron
age and its corruption funds powerless
in Connecticut, and the blow is heavy
one to the Radicals, for they had evil
IDENTIFY strong hopes that Connecticut
would follow the example of New
Hampshire.
The superhuman effort made by the
Administration to carry New Hamp-
shire was a confession of weakness,
while the result in Connecticut shows
that Radicalism is dead With New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey.
Indiana, Missouri, California and other
States North, and with the Southern
States, the Democratic party will elect
their President, if they are true to prin-
ciple, and nominate Democrat whose
name is above suspicion.
Nothing can defeat us If we avoid the
plumbers into which fusion and Liberal
Republicanism led us in 1872.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-04-08

Among the cases mol. prOsed by At
torney General Field Thursday in the
Superior Criminal Court, was that OF
the State against Lou Dudley, charged
with arson Lou Dudley was at one
time as celebrated in Louisiana politics
as Gen. Phil Sheridan. It was this
beauteous sylph in whose custody, in
1874 and 1875, Mr.. Kellogg, or one of his
henchmen, deposited the election re-
turns of the parish Of DeSotO. Lou
offered at one time to sell them for one
thousand dollars, but could not find a
purchaser. It will thus be seen that
she and Phil Sheridan both participated
in the organization of the rump Legis-
lature Of 1875. Indeed, that body was
for many months known in North Lou
isiana as the Lou Dudley-Sheridan
Legislature.

be paid by the State. The Board has at
all events done this very thing, as we
shall presently show. The Funding
Board has made that debt Of the State
which was not such q debt before.
More than this-it has done it
without even waiting for a decision OF
the Supreme Court as contemplated II
not specifically required by the funding
act Where did the Legislature get au-
thority to delegate such a power?
Where, we ask, did the Legislature get
authority to create a board which should
be superior to itself ? Suppose the Leg
islature were to repeal the funding act
tomorrow, what would become OF the
board You answer, the Legislature
cannot do that. the act is 1rrepealable,
because it has been sanctioned and
adopted by the people by an amendment
to their constitution. But. we reply,
who is to prevent the Legislature from
repeating the act if it chooses to do it p?
You rejoin, why the Supreme Court
would declare unconstitutional the re-
pealing act. Yes, we admit, the Lude-
ling bench would probably so declare;
but perhaps q bench differently com
posed would not, but would, on the con
trary, declare the funding act and the
constitutional amendment fraud and
swindle from begin ming to end, and II
that failed us also, we could then have
recourse to constitutional convention
for the purpose of reorganizlng the Ju-
dicial and executive departments OF the
government, end might, by that method,
put an end to the powers OF the Auditor
and Treasurer of the State in appropri-
ating moneys to the payment OF the in
terest on the new consols without spe-
cial authority from the LEGISLATURE, pc
riodically conferred.
The highest prerogatiye Of legisla-
tive body under our and the English
the peoples money raised by taxation.
There can be no such tax imposed by
the Legislature of Louisiana, or any
other republican Legislature. as con
tinuing annual tax which shall be ire
pealable. Now, by the funding act, q
tie Auditor and Treasurer of the State
are invested with q continuing power
over the collection Of taxes and the ap-
preparation Of their proceeds; that is to
say, they appropriate and pay to the
holders of the new bonds the interest
thereupon without any special act OF
the Legislature or any other authority
than is conferred upon them by the
funding act. According to that act,
whether the people Of Louisiana be able
or unable to yield revenue to their gov
eminent, they must pay the tax assessed
by it. The high discretionary legisla-
tive power Of appropriating the revenues
contemplated by our republican system
of government to be exercised cautious
ly and prudently, according to the vary
ing circumstances Of the people from
year to year, has been here delegated tc
certain executive officers of the govern.

WEATHER AND CROPs.-Almost ever
since the freeze of March 81 the weather
has been quite favorable for plantation
work. 1t is true that, since the cane
has been cut down to the ground, plant
ers have to await q second growth be-
fore they can cultivate it; but some had
not finished scraping and barring off
their plant cane, digging out their stub
.bles, etc, and this work has progressed,
while those more advanced with their
cane have been planting corn, blowing.
ditching, etc. Cotton planters have
been busy, too, and the advanced condi-
ton Of the season will enable them to
get an early stand. We never before
knew plantation work to be so we'll pro-
crossed, at this season, as now.
THE BANANA CRoP.-This year Louisi-
ana will have the largest crop ever
grown of this delicious fruit The winter
has been 50 mild that the fruit con-
tinued to grow throughout the season,
and while the leaves were badly burnt
by the ice, yet fruit was entirely unin-
jured, and large clusters Of half-grown
bananas can be seen upon many trees.
Mr.. Wade Bowie reports to us that
myriads of small fish, exactly like the
sardine, have Of late appeared in Bayou
Grand Gallon. Their bones are very
small and tender, while their flesh is
quite sweet and fat. They generally
move in schools" or large bodies.

Thus far we have been oppressed with
the worst and most unpropitious spring
weather which we can remember in the
freaks of the weather clerk, and thus
far our planters and farmers are thrown
bad fully six weeks later than last sea-
son, and it can be almost asserted that
hardly three good blowing days in sue
cession have turned up. But since the
morning of last Sabbath the weather
seems to have veered for the bet
ter, and the change is remarkable and
delightful one. Since then, up to the
hour which we write, no finer or
more seasonable weather could be de-
sired, and all nature seems to smile I'M
der the new dispensation. During all
this time the river, already very high,
has gone up gradually, having risen in
the last forty eight hours eleven inches.
But the rise is decreasing perceptibly as
the weather is remaining fair, and we
have no just fears of an overflow. We
have full nine feet bank yet, and see nc
cause whatever to be alarmed.
Washington Enterprise, April 81
Contrary to our anticipations we are
happy to state that the waters of the
Courtableau are rapidly receding, hence
all apprehensons as to an overflow car
| be put at an end for the time present
which will be hailed as glad tidings b,
our readers abroad.

polled 1900 votes, and temperance only
81. And the cause of temperance is a
