Is IT SATIRICAL2

The Bulletin calls Captain Loan to &C.
count for neglecting a carriage stand
nuisance, and occupying his time in
preserving order around the registration
stations. In doing SO, the Bulletin exon
crates Administrator Burke to whom it
attributed official dereliction from the
superstition that it had been his duty to
regulate the hackmen:
Under these circumstances we are led to
regret, for the first time, Captain Loans
abandonment of the duties Of his office
and his retirement to political service in
q remote trans Mississippi ward.
Captain Loan is no doubt too deeply i'm
mersed in the business of working up the
party to attend to the business for which he
is paid very comfortable salary, and it is
Of course too much to suppose that, with
his excellent example in view, any OF the
subordinates Of the department will inter.
fere.
When we have seen the Administrator
of Improve. ments called upon by the De-
mocracy to conduct the revision of regis
tration, upon the express ground that he
is an expert in that department, our adj
is called anew TO the great privi-
lege of being in any way attached to the
Democratic party. We have seen evil
lences of activity on the part Of the
Administrator, in his correspondence

tered, the election Of Mr. Nichols would
be the triumph Of Mr.. McEnery, II.
Ogden. MI. Lusher, and those who think
with them. A'
Had the Conservative and business
sentiment rallied around their nominee;
had the Wheeler compromise and the
moderate doctrines which pervade some
other States prevailed, We might have had
different campaign. As it stands. Mr..
Nichols seems in custody of partisans
who differ from him in principle and
policy far more widely than we do. They
must inevitably control any patronage or
policy which he could possibly acquire.
He is, in effect, a sham candidate, and
with personal respect for him and for his
professions, we are compelled to say that
he is the last man in Louisiana who could
carry those professions into effect.

TIE NORTHERN ELECTIONS.

A general election was held in Vermont
on the fifth instant, resulting in very
large vote. The Republicans gained
1000, and the Democrats ZOO; net Re-
publican gain, $500. We are aware that
these figures do not conform to those of a
city contemporary, but they are official,
and count for more in Montpelier than
the whole yearly circulation of our chronic
blunderer. Vermont therefore, an almost
conservative State, which the Democrats
even hoped to capture this year, has added
to the reputation which has gained for her
the sobriquet, "The Star that Never Sets. :"
She has done eleven thousand votes better
than last year, and made net gain on
majority of thirty-three hundred
Maine followed q week later on the
same side, with more pronounced re-
suits. The kilograms denote q larger
majority for the Repub licans than last
year by many thousands. The hopeful
Democrats who expect reversion of
everything which the Republicans throw
away, from a plank in a platform down
to Joe Craig, declared they would be able
to carry Maine if Blaine was not nomi-
mated at Cincinnati. But the sturdy
voters of the Pine Tree State have no
use for "Tilden, Hendri cks and REFORM"
the shallow catchwords of q piratical
party, whose leaders are about as nearly
united as their conglo merated motto in
dicates. "Tilden and reform" are as an
tagonistic as the devil and holy water,
while Hendricks, the high priest of cop
perheadism and the Knights of the
Golden Circle, forfeited years ago the
confidence of the loyal people of the
Union.
The responses of Vermont and Maine
to Judge Tafts letter of instructions are
similar to those returned by these gallant
New England States to President Lin
coins call for seventy-ive thousand VOL
unteers, and we shall see their patriotic
example followed up by every State north
Of the Ohio river. Even Indiana will
not prove an exception. There are some
few misguided people there who entertain
a sort Of loaves and fishes respect for
Hendricks, but they have no love for
Tilden and the peculiar quality of reform
of which he is the disciple.
The main fight in this campaign has
already been won by the Republicans.
October and November will witness a con-
frmation of the good work begun, and
the Democratic party will be the most
complete wreck ever seen in American
politics.

A DILEMMA.

The Democratic journals and leaders
are in q sad dilemma about Judge Taft's
instructions to United States marshals.
Heretofore they have commended for the
rule that the military should be subordi-
nate to the civil authority. Of course no
one held the opposite doctrine, but no
sooner had Judge Taft adopted the same
view, and embodied it in his instructions,
than they complain that the Attorney
General has become commandments
Of the army, and the marshal for the dis
trict of Louisiana superior in command
to General Sherman or Sheridan. How
else could the military be made subordi-
nate to the civil authority than by re-
curing soldiers to obey the officers of
courts?
The fact is, this demand for supremacy
of civil authority is one of those abstrac-
tons for which the Dem ocratic party is
famous. We have the principle for which
their leaders clamored established by
orders from the President, and now they
complain because military officers of high
rank and great experience, who have been
successful in the field, are directed to
obey the orders of mere civilian-an
officer who is not required in the line of
his duties to know the first principle of
military tactics. If this be not COM
plete subordination of the military to the
civi! power, such as the Dem ocracy has
commended for, we do not know what it is.
But we fail to observe those signs of sat-
in our opponents which we have
q right to expect from gentlemen who
have been permitted to have their own
way. They are more dissatisfied, if pos
sible, than they were when Butler was
here, with sword in one hand and the
pen in the other.
Though we may try ever so hard we
can not satisfy some people, and it seems
hat most Of this class have Joined the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-09-13

With the acting Governor, and the vigi-
lance with which he witches out for Re
publican reporters and voters who mis-
take the door numbers of their residence.
Does all this imply no duplication of
duties? Undoubtedly the same as is at
tributed to the Superintendent of Police
It may be pleaded, on behalf of the Admin
istrator of Improve ments, that having
spent all the money applicable to NOV
ing mud in January, he has nothing
to move the garbage in July. He advises
the capitalists and business men that
there was no more CO rporate money ap-
plicable to sanitary purposes, and that if
they did not wish yellow fever in the
midst of the fall season, they had better
put up fund to clean the streets. This
intimates very clearly that the Admins
traitor of Improvements has q good deal
of idle time on his hands, which he may
as we'll employ for the benefit of his party.
Is it, then, satirical hit when the Bul-
letin reproaches Captain Loan for
neglect of official duties in manifesting an
official interest in party politics? If this
unreasonable discrimination is made the
Bulletin is entirely too delicate in its
mode of intimation. Let it say: Here
are two officers paid by the public for the
performance of duties. The one neglects
the peace of the city and the other closes
its thoroughfares with broken culverts
and dirt piles The offenses are perhaps
the same, but the one is Democrat, and,
like the nobility or priesthood of our
beloved Europe is privileged to do what
he thinks proper. The other is as the
serf and subordinate of the blessed
and can be permitted to do
no act that initiates against the wishes of
his Democratic superiors.

AUTHORIZATION.

The Bulletin meekly complains that
while the Democrat, with its usual allies,
harshly criticised q Mr.. Meredith fol-
hsving written that there was but "slim
promise of Democratic success" in the
eighteenth senatorial district, the Demo-
crat has expressed this opinion of Re-
publican nomination.:
There will hardly be any ticket placed in
the field in opposition to this. st. Charles
is too Radical parish to hope anything
from.
There is an apparent inconsistency in
doing what others had been censured for
having done, but the Bulletin should un-
derstand-
That in the captains but a'choleric word,
Which in the toldier 10 fiat blasphemy."
There must be subordination in every
ervice, and when party has appointed
an authority to conduct the campaign,
for any underling to speak up and out is
very improper. 1t is for this that we ere
organs. If the Bulletin will not snu file
about such a rebuke, We will tell it q
pretty little story: Some one proposed q
walk to Sheridan-not the General or
orator of that name-who declined on
the ground that it was about to rain. The
rejected associate, meeting Sheridan half
an hour afterward upon the street, re-
min ded him of his remark about the
weather, and was answered that the rain
would not incommode one, but was en-
tirely too much for too. It is thus that
pc ople distinguished by position will di-
rect their subordinates, and sometimes
give the most ridiculous reasons, and
sometimes none at all To protest or re-
sist against authority, is characterization
and leads to political courtmartial, as in
the case of Mr.. john Fitzpatrick, sus-
pend ed for holding intercourse with the
enemy and for the contumacious persist
ency of his constituents in re-electing
him.

gress include the same Democrats who
have taken an active part in the campaigns
of 1924 Some candidates on the State
ticket were claimants of Office under the
election of 1872, and Mr.. McEnery him
self, naturally embittered with the result
of that canvass, and committed by decla-
ration to an ultra White Line policy, is q
State elector and prominent speaker on
the occasions at which Mr.. Nichols has
addressed the people. The candidate for
Attorney General in 1872 also carries into
this campaign the evaporation which it
had been hoped was quoted by the
Wheeler compromise
It will thus appear that the men who
have surrounded Mr.. Nichols would, in
the event of his election, have a right to
claim the direction of his counsels, and
would undoubtedly have right to COM
plain if he should adopt any course of
patronage or Of policy which would not
punish their enemies and reward their
friends. When we look to the fact that
no measure could be carried out by Mr..
Nichols unless with the assent of the
Legislature, and when we find the Demo-
cratic candidates for election or reelection
30 far differ in nothing from their pre-
decessors of the last canvass, we are COM
PEELED to inquire how, in the event of an
election, could Mr.. Nichols carry out the |
