isfight, proper and In accordance with
precedent. When the white people Of
any Of Our parishes. goaded to madness
by the exactions Of the robber officials
put over them, and the insults and vio-
lence Of negro mobs melted to hostile
acts by white Radicals, strike to protect
their property from destruction and
their wives and daughters from dishonor,
only the action OF the whites Is stated
by the Republican, and they are, there
fore, proved to be robbers and murderers.
The acts OF the Radical party In Louisi-
ana arc all assumed to be lawful, and in
tho discussion Of these acts the law
bearing upon them is left out OF the
Rep,,bhcan's statement, and tho legality
Of the action, however unconstitutional
or lawloss. Is indicated.
Arguing from these sort Of premises =
assuming any and every thing. and
always ignoring the law and the fact
with talent for sophisty seldom sur
passed, the Republican finds 1t easy to
make up plausible case for It's party
upon any question. BY this process 1t
can argue for the legality Of the Kellogg
usurpation; the propriety Of the print
ing law; the beneAcence Of the Return
ing Board the necessity for the present
system Of collecting taxes; the beauties
OF the Metropolitan Police, and the great
advantages OF the Louisiana Lottery
Company. BY this process OF reasoning
1t can prove that Packard Is a patriot;
that our judiciary Is the ablest and purest
the State has ever had; that II Is folly
for Democrats to oppose the Ubiquitous
usurpation that rides the State; that
the rascally politicians Of Its party
ore wise and virtuois patriots,
and that II Is itself honest
and sincere. The Republican has long
been following this line of argument,
and by ingeniously hustling the law and
the facts out Of sight, giving its parti-
sans countenance in their nefarious
acts. Indeed, we doubt not that the
thieves who for years composed the ma
jority Of the Louisiana Legislature,
often after enacting some brazen scheme
Of open villainy for the plumber of the
taxpayers, have got up the next morn
ing and been astonished and delighted
to find that their plan Of robbery had
been proved to be u great public Bono
faction.

The broadside poured into the bunko
thieves by the DEMOCRAT has created
somethingofa sensation In police circles,
as will be seen by reference to the pro-
ceedings of the Police Board yesterday.
The bunko business has become crying
shame, and it's existence Is vile shame
to the police Of New Orleans. We are
glad Commissioner Ryan has brought
the question Of responsibility to direct
and positive issue. The trial of the
Chief of Police, under the action Of the
Board yesterday, must certainly end by
fixing the blame somewhere, and so
soon as that Is done, we may hope that
the thieves will be properly dealt with
We learn that it was STATED yesterday
that the card signed "Many Mer-
chants" which appeared in the city pa
pers, was paid for. Whether or not
other papers were paid for the publica-
ton, we neither know nor care but the
DEMOCRAT very willingly published the
card free Of charge, In the interest Of
the city.

HISTORY NOT MISREPRESENTATION
The attention Or the readers Of the
DEMooaAT Is particularly called to the
article re-published on another page
from the CYCLE, an interesting weekly
reoently issued In Mobile, and OF which
the accomplished w. T. Walthall, Esq,
is editor. The letters OF Judge Robert
Ould. as Commissioner for Exchange Of
Prisoners, to Gen. Milford, occupying a
similar position on the other side, and
Judge Guilds uncontrndicted narration
of facts In reference TO an exchange OF
prisoners, and the conduct and evident
policy Of the Radical purity, re-
specting tho iInatter, can leave no
doubt whatever in the mind OF any i'm
partial man as To what persons ana
party were really responsible for the
alleged sufYerings or captured soldiers ut
Andersonvillc. II Is true that poor Mrs.
Surratt was tried by military court ut
Washington ;anda respectable American
woman was put In chains and afterwards
hung by the order OF a mill
tary court, never to be justified
as long ~ humanity, masculine self
respect and justice shall exist among q
responsible people. The innocence OF
Mrs. Surratt and the shame Of her cruel
and cowardly military assassination
under the forms OF judicial proceedings
are now generally acknowledged and
condemned by hundreds Of thousands Of
those who were unfortunately excited
by the false and meretricious feelings
and reports Of the time. Poor Mr.. Wirz
was murdered judicinlly, partly by false
or exaggerated testimony, and purity, no
doubt, by the predisposition and the
policy Of tho Republican party TO inflame
Northern passions, and to misdircct
public opinion rs 10 the very successful
but certainly most barbarie and revolt
ing conduct Of the war by Federal off,
Gals nj Washington and elsewhere. We
mean by this, distinctly, that the
methods Of the war In tho reckless
destruction of tho lives Of Northern
soldiers, in the ruplne and cruelties
practiced In tho Southern States, and
In the indifference 10 the suffering
Of Northern prisoners, whether ut Amber
sonvillc or In other localities, were bar
bayic and revolting. We do not say this
to provoke angry feelings or 70 encour-
age hostile sentiments. or to rake up
old grievances and passions, but since
Mr.. Blaine and other Radical politicians
have thought proper to interject these
questions into the politics Of the Con-
tennial year for the most unworthy
party and personal objects, II is right
that the truth should be known and
stated. "Fiat justicia r,at cwh,m." The
natural right OF resistance to open
wrong belongs TO all. Even q worm, II
trend upon, will turn. and 1t ~
only vicious and thoroughly irrational
mind which would complain ut the OK
ercise Of that right and try to deny 1t by
clamors and tyranny.
We IRE glad. therefore, TO reprint this
article from the Cyclic and to call espe
rial attention TO Judge Guilds lcttcrs and
remarks.

Our EXCHANGES. An accidental over
sight hindered our earlier recognition
OF the Daily DEMOCRAT, a paper which
made its appearance in New Orleans
about contemporaneously with that Of
our humble hebdomadal self in Mobile.
The DEMOCRAT Is issued by the New
Orleans Publishing Company, with the
names of Robert Tyler as Editor, and
+. r. Southmayd, Business Manager.
Both names are very familiar. Mr..
Tyler-to say nothing of his earlier
antecedents as Editor Of the Mont
gomery Advertiser, did perhaps as much.
as any living man has done, ii not more,
for the organization and success OF the
Democratic party in Alabama. Mr..
Southmayd is Unknown and highly
esteemed citizen Of New Orleans1an
accomplished man OF business and a
pro4tnent and efficient member OF the
Howard Association of that city He
carries that badge OF honor, and empty
sleeve, and has won credit and conf
dence in every field OF duty or danger
in which he has served, both in peace
and war.
The DEMOCRAT gives fuller telegraphic
news than any Southwestern news
paper Of our acquaintance, and in enter
Ing the field OF journalism evidently
means business. p Mobile Cycle.

Property Holders Protective Union OF
West FeIiciana.

We findfroom, with great pleasure,
this morning., 3or the publication of two
papers Of grsnt Importance to the par
ish Of West Feliciana, the one memo
rial Of the Executive Committee OF the
Property Holders Protective Union Of
West Feliciana, the other the petition Of
the citizens residing within the corpor-
ate limits OF Bayou Sara, asking re-
spectfully that an amendment to the
charter of the town OF Bayou Sara, ap-
proved March 20, 1874, without the
knowledge or consent OF the citizens Of
the town, be repealed and that the old
charter be restored.
As to the memorial, 1t will be remem-
bered that Senator Weber recently, on n
question Of privilege, pronounced the
report of the sub-executive committee
Of the Property Holders Union Of. the
Parish OF West Feliciana Ton which the
DEMOCRAT, assuming the report as true,
properly commented editorially as the
statements duplicating Mr.. Weber de-
servedD to be ''mass OF falsehoods,"
and further asked for q committee Of the
Senate to investigate the charges pre-
ferred.
The citizens, whose names are signed
to the memorial, some Of the wealthiest
and most respectable in the parish, now
memorabilia the Senate to grant the ap-
pointment Of the committee for which
Senator Weber has moved, and that
they only court full and fair investi-
CATION, and stand ready to prove all the
charges as made, pledging themselves
ty rebuff fully Senator Weber's counter
charges OF malicious falsehoods."
Since the matter is most probably to
be thus brought to the notice and thor
ough investigation OF q Legislature,
quasi judicial In its character, we do
not deem it proper to make many re-
marks at this time which the subject
suggests.
In the meantime, we observe that q
mass meeting OF the people OF the par
ish 81 West Feliciana Is to be held in
the Courthouse OF St. Francisville or
January 20, 1876, prospect
i've OF party or color, as to what meas
ures are necessary to put an end to the
INSTRUMENTATION and corruption in
our parochial affairs brought about by
the conduct and influence OF the Webers
and Armstead, and to take measures to
prevent q continuance OF the same,

A Wise Man Ntuvnpetl.

We arc utterly surprised that the
Roundabout" genius Of the Times, who
has shown himself TO be an cxpounder
Of mysteries and resolver Of doubts; who
v philosophical, genealogical, astronom.
ical. meteorological and critical. could
not, on the day before yesterday, come
10 the relief Of his fair correspondent and
explain to her that the extract from
Gen. Banks speech in Congress, by
which she was SO irritatingly puzzled,
was altogether occasioncd by miser-
able typo falsely placed by one Of the
Times own unhappy printers, or one Of
it, still more unluclSy reporters. The
truth Ii that Roundabout" with his
universal Information, ought TO have
perceived at once that some printer or
reporter had committed the ludicrous
blunder Of substituting simply an "n"
for an "r" In Gen. Banks adaptation Of
we'll known but beautiful passage from
Hamlet, when he says In the fourth
sccne Of the third act to his mother:
''Sueh an act
That blurs the grace and blush Of modesty.
CmtlH virtue hypocrlto; takes OF thcr rose
From the iair forehead ~ an innocent lovc.
And sets q blister there
In speaking Of Dlaine's ill-timed
amendment, Gen. Banks said, 1T takes
on tho rose from the face Of govern.
ment act and sets blister there"
! We regret that the excellent and learn.
ed Roundabout" Of the Times was $50
greatly exercised" as not to be able to
asssiage the intellectual doubts and pains
OF the suffering correspondent. Consid-
ering that Gen. Banks was defend
Ing the South from Mr.. Blaine's hostile
and rancorous assault, Roundabout"
ought not to have deserted him at such
= time and have become so greatly ex-
crcised' as to have been incapable OF
explanation.
