AeAnE THAf TWO oar Play Z.

AAAME THA1 TWO oar PLAY r. I,
Our friends and our opponents seem q
concede that the Republican cause MAY
suffer greatly by the intimidation of tn
colored voters. Has either our friends Of
opponents ever conceded that the Demo
cratic voters may suffer even more from
intimidation than the Republicans?
Section 2009, Laws Of the United States
title Elective Franchise, " prescribes that
any person who shall, by any threats OF
unlawful means, prevent or obstruct any
citizens from doing any act necessary to
qualify him for voting. or from voting
at any election, shall forfeit five hundred
dollars to the person aggrieved.
Suppose, then, that Democrat shall
say to the colored or other Republicans,
"You may vote any ticket you choose, but
if you vote the Republican ticket you can
look out for another home or another en-
ployer, or you may gather and gin your
crop as you can; will have nothing to
do with you;" should the Republican
PROSTATE himself in the dust, and reply,
II consider this hard treatment, but I
must submit to it" Not at all. He should
say, 81 will remember what you have told
me, and if you do this great injustice, I
will go directly after the election, and
apply for q warrant to arrest you. If you
threaten me I will not threaten you, but
I know the law, and I know that you are
as open to arrest after the election as before.
So you can go ahead, and if lose my
home or my situation, you may possibly
lose five hundred dollars. So we may
make stand off,"
Possibly the home or the situation Of
the threatened Republican may not be
worth five hundred dollars. In such case
he would have the chance Of q new place
with little capital to console him for the
loss of his Democratic friend and his
patronage. We wish our Republican
orators to look into this matter of in.
There are evidently two sides
to it. We do not advise Republicans to
return one threat with another, but We in
form them that if they shall be deprived of
any contract because of voting the Re-
publican ticket, they can arrest the per-
son that has done this injustice as ,oeu
1fter the election as before. Republican
orators will please make q note of this,
examine the law and advise the Repub-
leans accordingly. They will be careful
lot to intimidate the person who may
make the threat or perpetrate the injus-
ice; otherwise the Republican orator may
" arrested by the inundated Democrat
md made to pay the five hundred dol
ans. So, be careful.

Without having seen. Mr.. Packard, or
been able to communicate with him at
all, the REPUBLICAN does deny the state
ment of the new Democratic employe,
Poindexter, in all its parts. 1t is not only
absurd, but impossible and untrue that
Mr.. Packard, or any other pension agent
or claim agent, could have kept soldiers
papers for ten years without accounting
for them or hearing fuss made about it
long ago.
Mr.. Packard may or may not have been
an agent of some sort, but we will guar
antee that no man in this State can show
that he owes q dollar or an obligation
which he can instantly pay or discharge.
Now let the new recruit to the cause of
Tilden, Hendricks and inferiority of his
race come out with the proofs. Make
them strong, Poindexter, the stronger the
better, for it will take good deal of cor
roborating testimony to make people be-
lieve you on such question.

REPUBLICAN, NOMINATIONS.

REPUBLICAN, NOMINATIONS.
We can not caution the Republicans
too carefully against the intrusion of weak
or unworthy names upon the various tick
cts for official or representative nomina-
tons. Upon argument the Republicans
have every advantage, but when objec-
tionable names appear on their ticket the
opposition drop the argument and centre
on the faults of the nominees. It is in
vain to tell about universal emancipation
or of government established in the
respect Of the world if the personal repre-
sentative of these grand ideas has any
blemish of dishonor or incapacity in his
record. Democracy will not meet q COM
petitor on the principles established by
the Republican party, but it will de-
nounce Smith as q knave or Jones as
fool, and throw the Republicans on the
defensive. To vindicate what? Not Re-
publican principles, but the private record
of an individual worth nothing to his
party and less to himself, or he would
have made his record better. Look at
Hayes and Wheeler! They stand self.de-
Tended by an honest and able record. The
Republican speaker wastes no time in de-
Tending them. He proceeds at once to
the illustration Of Republican principles,
and devotes his time to the exposure of
Democratic hypocrisy and incapacity.
Why, it might take Attorney General
Hunt the full employment of his ability
to vindicate an unworthy nominee from
personal charges, and so lose the full
force of his ability in the vindication of
Republican principles and the exposure of
Democratic designs.
The Democratic party has, it is true,
its own difficulties of the same character.
It has many candidates whom it declares
unfit to perform the duties to which they
aspire. It has its bummers and dead
beats, who simply seek shelter from honest
labor in the salaried idleness of q public
Office. The ascendency of these men
alarms the business and the property in
terests, and diminishes the zeal in their
It is not plain that where the
Democrats put up Last Ditcher or q
shoulder-hitter, while the Republicans
nominate much better man, the con-
interests will secretly be glad if
the Last Ditcher or shoulder-hitter shall
be defeated, and not sorry that one more
Republican has been elected.
Everything, then, indicates the duty
and interest of nominating the best Re.
publicans who can be presented. The
battle for political supremacy has yet to
be fought in New Orleans. 1t is i'm
portant that the Republicans should in
all cases present men worthy of Repub-
lican principles, and their prospects of
ultimate recognition are bright and

Auonrs becomes . recognized power
throughout the world, the SUCCESSORS Of
the Britons Of to-day will be the first to
avail themselves of it, wondrous capa-
bilities. Meanwhile the modern Briton.
like his cousins on this side of the Attain
tic, viii have to accept the deductions of
industrial and commercial science, and,
if possible, place himself in harmony
with the new conditions presented.
In the philosophy Of the future there
will be found much that has never yet
been dreamed Of Solar heat and the
forces it controls will be organized into q
tho usand new forms of power, and thus,
before our coal gives out, its efficient sue
cessor will have been discovered. 1--WE
live and learn" is as true of to-day as it
ever was in all the tabled and historic
past.
Just now there is q prospect of at least
q temporary revival of the British cotton
trade, and the reason is that the large
stock on hand at the commencement of
the existing commercial depression is
now pretty well exhausted, and. as the
shadow lifts, new supply will be re-
quired. It would be well, however, for
manufacturers on both sides of the At
lantic to calmly scan the entire situation,
and read anew the relations of labor and
power, and Of production and demand.
The regulating principle will somewhere
be found, and until it is recognized and
acted on, the disastrous results of over
production and ruinous competition will
certainly manifest their presence. To the
British isles they will be more serious
than to this country, and to the North
and East Of this country more serious
than to the South and West. But it is
important that we should recognize the
fact that our commercial relations with
Great Britain are SO intimate that she can
not be injured without injury to US, and
that one section of our Union can not
suffer without affecting other sections.
Thus we are all bound together by COM
nunity of interest, and all should work
:ogether for the common good

ssAtIsmanship, corn Whisky ed . good
school system, brass band music and .
wise judiciary, that We can hardly believe
those who are 90 literally stufang the
stomachs of the populace have any we'll
defined ideas Of the more important mat
ters referred to.
Barbecued meats, lashings Of intoxi-
eating drinks, the blsre Of brazen instru.
ments and huzzas inspired by their in
toxicating influence will never redeem
the lands distresses," and those who ride
into political power on the wave of such
excitements will not owe the sort of allie
glance to their constituents which comes
from selections made as result of calm
deliberation and sober judgment. On
the contrary, having purchased the votes
of the people at some expense for extrava-
CANT feasts, the incumbents of the several
offices elected by such gross practices will
assume a sort of proprietary interest in
their several positions, and satisfy their
consciences if they make enough out of
one term to buy provisions enough to Sc
cure reelection in the old style.
We can not blame the mass of the peo-
pie for this wretched practice of stufing
the belly to convince the mind. The
leaders generally plan the campaign and
invite the public to the entertainment,
such as it is. If they are so fortunate as
to find speakers who have ideas, or the
party possesses prin ciples which will bear
illustrating, the entertainment becomes
pleasant, intellectual treat, and the aver
age citizen will be content without the
addition Of beef stufing and liquor
swigging. But the Louisiana Democracy
are either sadly deficient in all the better
qualities which make canvas interest
ing, or they hold the average intelligence
at such q low rate as to believe it alb
solutely necessary to supplement the
performance with q plentiful
supply of animal food aud good cheer
of all sorts. A man gorged with
beef and stupefed with corn whisky
is not apt to be critical about the nice dis
tinctions of polemics, and if he can only
be kept in that condition until the cleo |
ton he can easily be persuaded to vote as
he has eaten and drunk. We are not sur
prised, therefore, to hear from Clinton
that on Thursday the barbecue brigade
was out in full force, and that there was |
'.great enthusiasm" What the speakers,
Messrs. Nichols, Wilt, McEnery, Spot
ford and the rest said on the occasion is of |
no moment, the importance of the speeches
being entirely dwarfed by the superior in
terest felt in the bill of fare.
