A caucus will have to be called to de-

AN ATTEMPT AT INDEPENDENCE.

The Democrat is very much alarmed at
the apparent determination of the Con-
servatives to emancipate themselves from
all party trammels and vote for men of
their choice. It recognizes the fact that
the day has gone by when calling rogue
a Democrat will place him on par with
honest men; or the mere denunciation of
an upright citizen as Republican is suf-
fcient justification for his social and
official ostracism. If Republican official
is courteous, just and accommodating in
the eyes of the true Conservative, he is
more fit to be continued in Office than any
grasping, rapacious Democratic that &C.
cident has elevated to power. Therefore,
the Democratic .scofting at, and denunci-
alton OF, independent voting" and the
desperate effort to whip back into the
Democratic corral each voter who shows
the least inclination to do his own think
ing. Says the Democrat:
There is great deal of hippant talk
the abstract the idea is very fine, but i'm
practicable and dangerous, and apt to &C.
duce well-meaning but unrehecting minds
In the present state of affairs in Louisiana,
and until Radicalism will have been wiped
out of the country, the application of that
idea is not practicable.
In other words, give up your independ-
ence once again, good Mr.. Conservative
submit to our party shackles one more
time-obey Democratic dictation until we
secure the Offices thenceforward you
may be as independent as you please.
Democracy will no longer need your serv-
ices; and, as for share in the govern
ment, well-as you love independence so
much you shall be independent of that,
too.
The Democrat continues:
Two inveterate foes, two essentially an
tagonistic elements are opposing each other
in the present cOntest-DemOcratic-C Con-
sentative and Radicalism.
Doubtless the ofice-hungry Democracy,
with distempered vision, picture such
battle array in the political field of Louis
lana; but large class of the solid peo-
pie perhaps balance Of power-with
clearer perception of the necessities of the
State and of the requirements to fully
restored prosperity, would prefer the issue
made between the forces of conservative
Repubicanism and Democracy. The ter
mination of the present canvass may be
found to have developed such a common
sense and fruitful alliance.

moro is illegal The constitution which
guarantees equal and uniform taxation
would not justify tax upon q person
eating fish, veal or cabbage in the par
ish of Orleans, which should not equally
rest upon the citizens of the parish of
Cameron. The private market men and
the citizens should then file bill to en-
join the city authorities from collecting
directly or indirectly more for the use of
the market than would build, maintain
and replace the market houses. This
would reduce the bids of the lessees.
It would diminish the exorbitant
prices and profits of the con-
tractors, and consequently reduce
the price of food to the people. The best
effect would be this: The city govern
ment finding that no revenue applicable
to general purposes could be collected
from the sale of the monopoly; the city
government finding that the sale of the
markets could be only applied for the re-
pair or the replacement of these build
ings, would withdraw their opposition to
free food and allow the people to buy
their food at the next block or from the
farm cart at their doors.
The private market men and other citi-
zens may make further point. The
building and maintenance of these mar
ket houses constitute no proper and
special tax on food. There is no more
reason that woman who goes to Poydras
Market should pay tribute on soup
bone and cabbage to build or re-
build that market house, than the
gentleman who drives his fast trot-
ters should be required to pay for
shelling OF paving the street he drives Oh,
or the sick man for the disinfectants.
The property holder is interested in the
markets as he is in the streets, in the
wharves, in the disinfectants. He should
pay his proportion for each. Let, then.
the friends of equal and just taxation de-
mand that the markets should be built,
repaired and rebuilt by tax upon every
thing taxable, upon the whole merchan-
disc, the whole real estate, the whole in
dustries of the whole people.
This doctrine discussed will strike a
blow at monopolies, and at indirect taxa
ton. twill destroy the motive to squeeze
the people out of market money to pay an
expensive city government. It will place
all taxes where they should rest-upon the
and active business of the cit;-
zen. Let the private market men look
into the principle, and they will find "our
ruinous tariff upon food and industry is
one great cause Of popular impoverish-
ment. Deprive government Of this iniqui-
tous and unequal perquisite and all the
markets, public and private, will be open
to the use of the people.

drawn who would not tell tho pol
icy organs that the sale of tickets

tell us that rats quit sinking ship; hum
ters, that the ticks drop off dead tur-
key. Every parasite has an instructive
intimation when the foreign vitality upon

out and say whether he has committed
this great error-whether he is out of
ammunition; whether he has whispered
the truly lucky members, or whether the
capital prizes are still in the wheel, with
the goddess of fortune represented by
the blindfold and bare armed boy of the

which should control the tropical
trade and treasure has been degraded to
the smiths shop of an assay Office. The
great and national necessity of steam
lines, radiating from New Orleans to the
Gulf and ocean ports beyond us, has re-
ceived no attention. Louisiana has re-
ceived nothing. Not even as much for
river and harbor Improvements as some
other Southern States. The Senate has de-
tected and cast out Of the appropriation
bills sent up by the economists, scores Of
appropriations for such little fish-dam
Southern rivers as Akotink and Hiawas-
see, French Broad and Mattaposie, Saline
and Sandy. These, Senator Window
said, were intended rather to remove the
obstacles in the way to Washington than
physical impediments to commerce. Our
Democratic braves, who promised so
much, will stink back into camp without
the scalp of q political antagonist, and
without a particle of parliamentary plum
der. We mistake, we did them injustice.
They lose the Senator, the levees, the
railroad, the Mint, but they receive full
indemnity in an-investigation
They have been even reduced to a
humiliatory subterfuge to conceal their
signal defeat. An anonymous telegram
informs us that the Louisiana delegation
has had a conference with other friends
of the levee bill and decided that it would
not be advisable to press that measure
till next winter six months gone with
out action. A session of ninety days
holidays and mortuary adjournments in
cluded-a presidential election with its
rush and discussion-the immense mass
of other business on the calendar, and
the levee bill is to be pressed before that
body. We can suppose nothing more
charitable why the Democratic members
from Louisiana should call time on their
constituents, than that the nominations
and elections will take place before the
next session. Like the primo ess in the
Arabian story, it will be well to keep the
tale of their usefulness unfinished, that
further opportunity shall be afforded
them to complete it.
Yet it is upon this pitiable surrender of
the political management to the New
England Democracy-it is upon this sc--
rowful reputation Of the rights as well
as the wrongs of Louisiana that the South
ern people are advised to give the exclu-
sive nomination of the ticket, with the OK
elusive appropriation of the patronage
to one-third of the votes necessary to Sc
cure these advantages. There must be
some deep design to account for this re-
pressed rapacity. There must be some
supposition that Tilden is Buchanan No.

of submission to the Yanks by the fiery
