TO THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA ::
The Republican party is now engaged
in tue desperate policy of perverting
the judiciary for the purpose of pre-
venting fair, peaceful and free cleo
ton in Louisiana. Unoffending citi-
zens are to be arbitrarily arrested, with
the expectation of creating disturban
ces and where no resistance will be
offered to the officers of the law OH the
part of the Democratic Conservative
citizens, there is every reason to be-
lieve that sham resistance will be or
gained. The purposes Of the arrests
on the eve of the election is also to in
timidate Democrats and Conservatives,
both white and colored and the mode
of making the arrests, as we are re-
minded by the experience of the cam
paign of 1874, is to be such as will ne
cessarily arouse feelings of Indignation,
and be susceptible of stimulating re-
sistance.
1t is our duty to foil this nefarious
invasion of the most sacred rights of
an injured people; and no more effec-
tive way can be resorted to than
|, For the persons. against whom
warrants are exhibited to submit to
whatever arrests may be attempted in
the name of the law; and
2. For the people to come forward,
and openly assist to execute whatever
orders of arrests may be produced, and
to take an active part to prevent the
resort to sham resistance to their exc
cution. Measures will be taken to al
leviate the sutferings of the victims Sc
lected for the occasion.

On 23d and 26th of October, 1876,
GEORGE EDWARD and CARL AL
EXANDER, aged Is months, twin
sons Of Carl A. and Maude Schnack.,
beautiful in life in death they were
not divided" The little subjects of
this memoir were twins. As few
moments divided their birth, so only
few days divided their death. One in
birth, one in life, one in suffering, they
are now one in Paradise. Weep not
for them, they are happy; they rest
together. This life was an unknown
shore" to them, they trembled at it's
breakers, they could not breast them,
and were engulphed in their surge of
sorrow and suffering. "Suffer the lit
tie ones to come unto me" said their
Savior; they heard his voice and he
led them into the "green pastures and
beside the still waters" Seek them
there, tended and cared for by the
Good Shepherd, ye who loved them
here. He has taken them into his arms
and blessed them, .for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven" A.

Our Duty.

The Radical party of this State and
of the nation ale at bay. That they
will fight with the courage of despair
is certain. There can be no more fatal
deluson than to believe that they are
not in earnest-deeply; desperately in
earnest.
1t is really a contest of giants, and
when the opposing cohorts meet on
election day the very foundations Of
the Government will be shaken. Our
enemies are powerful, rich and full of
cunning. They have the General Gov
eminent at their back to assist them
with it's enormous corruption fund, and
with soldiers, as has recently been done
in South Carolina.
The steady advance of the Democra-
tic legions throughout the Union has
struck terror to the guilty souls of the
Radical managers, and they have de-
termined to make one more desperate
attempt to maintain the power of their
party, and to procure immunity for the
monstrons frauds and crimes they have
committed against the people and
against free government.
To suppose that these men will not
make use of every means at their COM
mand to wrest victory from the very
jaws of defeat, is to argue that the rob
Der will not defend his plunder and
his life.
Let the Democratic party be installed
in power, and the masks will be torn
from the faces of thousands of officials
who have Haunted their innocence and
virtue in the face OF the honest men OF
the nation. 1t is no wonder that these
men fight fiercely. for i'll the success of
the Democracy they sec certain discov
cry and ruin. They would rather wit
ness the overthrow of the Government
than see their party deprived of power
and unable longer to screen them from
the just wrath of the people and from
the penalties of the laws which they
have broken.
This is the outlook, and it is there.
fore the imperative duty of every good
citizen to regard the election as mat
ter Which demands his personal inten-
ton, and which, if lost through the
lack of proper vigilance, will be
fraught with the direst consequences.
In this State it is especially neces-
sary that we should be careful and
watchfu!, for though there is almost
certainty of our carrying the cleo
ton, the Radicals are making extra
ordinary exertions and will not hest
tate to perpetrate the grossest frauds
to deprive US Of tho legitimate results
of our victory.
With the knowledge of what has
been done in this State before us, and
with the knowledge, too, of the enor-
nous frauds now being perpetrated by
the Radical party, it is impossible for
us to exercise too much vigilance; first
to carry the election, and next to Sc
cure the results when fairly won.
The situation is a grave and mo-
mentous one, both for our State and
for the whole country, and if we would
not witness the demolition of the very
fabric of civil liberty on this continent
we must, every man of us, put his
shoulder to the wheel with as much
earnestness and persistence as though
the result was to. be determined by his
individual efforts.-[N. 0. Democrat.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-11-01

The hand writing of doomed
radicalism in Rapldes is plainly
written on Lamourie Bridge, and ev
cry one that runs can read it plainly.
Desperation has taken hold of the
whole crew of leaders and pap-suck-
ers, and their faltering steps and
elongated visage but too plainly in
dictate it. All their plans and fos
tered hopes are blasted, the Counting
Board fukers and pales its ineffectu-
al fires under the stalwart blows of
our crushing columns, and their
doom is sealed. Forward and steady,
boys!

PENNSYLVANIA FOR TILDEN.
has not been a recent instance of dis
order in South Carolina that was not
directly or indirectly of his creation,
and the submission of the national
authorities to the use of the army to
give courage to the ignorant blacks of
the coast cotton and rice fields, to in
dulge in any form of violence, is a
monstrous crime against the peace of
the nation and the majesty of its laws.
1t it so understood By intelligent men
of all parties in the North, and it must
recoil with fearful effect upon the Re-
publicans in the contest. Indiana
made Pennsylvania % debatable field
between Hayes and Tilden, but Grant,
Cameron and Patterson have made it
an almost certain Tilden State. AS
surely as the South Carolina bayonet
policy is persisted in by the administr-
alton to coerce elections, just as surely
will Pennsylvania recoil and protest in
thunder tones by Tilden majority in
November. If that is what Grant and
Cameron want, they are doing their
work WE'LL Philadelphia Times.

The Money Expended in Indiana.

''It is estimated by good authority
that the Republicans have spent $780,
600 in the single State Of Indiana
alone. 1t remains to be seen whether
it has been sufficient to debauch the
voters of that State."-[Elmira Ga
zette.
No mortal, apart from Chandler and
Morton, can tell what was expended
in Indiana, but the tax of q per cent
went into Ohio, Indiana and else
where. What is left of that tax we do
not know, but if this ST per cent. was
even half collected, it is quite possible
that half million was expended in
Indiana and more in Ohio. The Fede-
raj tax last month was in the neighbor-
hood of two millions five hundred
thousand dollars. President Grant
paid his tax of 81, 900 into the Repub-
lican treasury on this basis, or rather
the country paid it for him when it adj
ded $25 900 to his annual income
How the Federal money goes we may
judge by the fact that the House Of
Committee on the Department Of JUS
tice examined the accounts of John I.
Davenport, and found and expendi-
ture of 1874, 900 which he attempted to
account for BY receipts ON registration
books; which receipts were obtained
by Davenport after the investigation
began. The committee further repor-
ted that they found other evidences OF
improper use of the secret service fund
of the government for political, social
and other purposes, The fund was
used to influence elections in this city,
and they all felt compelled to report
that the President and Attorney
General, Messrs. Alderman and Viii.
liams, who supplied Davenport with
the $34 900 from the latter fund, di.
verted it from its proper purpose tt
one entirely foreign to the objects O
the law. If the United States Senate
had not obstructed public justice the
act of the House Of Representative
prohibiting Federal officers would b,
$4,000, 900 better off than they are a
present. Some of them we know have
had to admit payment of their house
rents to meet the exaction, but til,
cry was, "Your money or your politi
cal life" and no man dare say nay

ALL doubters and croakers, who
outside of those weak traits are Of
US, should by this time be satisfied
that our home candidates have per-
formed well and faithfully the duties
incumbent on them. They have
been active, vigilant and the Parish
has been well canvassed in the inter
ests of the whole ticket. And this
ticket is surely and beyond doubt
ahead in all good attributes of the
patch work offered them by Radical
ism and Independence combined, and
at this late hour we hope to see them
merrily fall into ranks and strike
with US the last blow, which must on
next Tuesday clinch the last nail into
the coffin of the bad party we have
all so long been fighting.

-THE "endorsed and slected" one


Tins ''endorsed and slected" ones
of the regular Republican, ticket
though they are fighting hard for
themselves, have not as yet pronoun-
ced openly and eandidly how they
will vote for President, and for Gov
ernor. OF all men, candidates for
the suffrage of the dear people should
be frank in letting the public know
how they stand on The Presidential
and Gubernatorial contests, and by
this time should be pronounced in
their sentiments; but as yet they
seem to be as dumb as oysters OH
the most important part of che yot-
ing duty. How is this for men who
profess to be the soul and embodi.
ment of independence!

SAVING A MILLION DOLLARS PER
WEEK.-A nice, economical party the
Republican party is for hard times.
They increased their estimates for
running the Government, $25,425,
COS over the appropriations of last
year. They asked for $2O3,099, 025'
or nearly million dollars a day-an
expenditure nearly on the scale of
that of war times. The House cut
them dow to $l20,611,S71, and would
have kept them down to 500, 244,14O
if it had not been for the obstinacy
of a wasteful Senate. As it was, in
spite of the resistance of the Senate,
the Democratic House cut down the
Republican estimates $55, 3S0,650.-
In other words, the Democratic
House save the tax. payers of the
country $751; 25 day, for year to
come; $1,O65,054 a week, for a year
to come; $4,615,054 q month, for a
year to come. This is the work OF
the Democratic party in one year in
Congress. In two years of Democra,
tic administration in New York, the
taxes have been reduced one half.
The Democracy is the party for hard
times.

Jobbers, Rings and Thieves to the

How the old Rings, the Credit Mo

thieves, who were set back in 1874,
rally along side the new thieves, to

liar, demonstrated perjurer-moral-
ICES on the bad character of Tweed s
friend Tilden. This is very hard
upon Mr.. Hayes, but we don't see
how be can help it. The Camerons
nominated him, the Camerons spend
their money for him, the Camerons
march the army for him. The Cam
erons, themselves notorious corrup-
tionists, fetch to his service the whole
noble cohoft Of addition, division
and silence" Colfax knows where
he belongs, and keeps step as well as
the best Of them to the music of
Hayes and Wheeler's flies.
Casey and Packard, in New Or
leans, reconcile themselves with War
moth and Pinchback IN behalf of
Hayes and Wheeler, and neither pot
calls either kettle black. The Fas-
Gals know where they belong, every
mothers son OF them, and their souls
dilate to the music OF Hayes and
WheeleF's flies.
Chamberlain and Elliott lock step
With Bowen and Whipper, and Smalls
and Patterson, in the Carolinss, and
the jail birds utter no denominations.
With one accord and sll their ears,
they list to The heart stirring strains
Of Hayes and Fheeler's Efes.

THE BUGBEAR OF THE "SoLID
SoUTH."-If the South be now more
united than the North, it is because
the rascally p!underings commenced
there earlier. and have been felt more
than in the North. The North is also
growing "solid" against radicalism,
and no mere delusive phantom OF
impossible Southern supremacy can
prevent the North and South standing
shoulder to shoulder against official
plunder.
The correction of the aliases which
will follow the election of the reform
ticket will prevent the South being
massed IN future elections, because
when the common tie Of resistance tn
oppression and plumber ceases to bind
The States Of that section together
they will separate according to theis
individual views aud interest, having
no longer any peculiae institution like
slavery to compel them to be united.
Until the correction Of abuses by
general reform, the Sonth will remain
solid, because it has been and will coD-
.tInue to be the policy Of Che Radicals
to keep it solid, the sectional issue be-
ing their sole dependence for eontiu.
uance in power and fm immunity in
their plunder.
