ALFALFA.-Alfalfa, so highly
be-praised by the CALIFORNIA;,
was formerly known among the
ancients as Lucerne. It seems
to be specially adapted to The
soil and climate of California
1t is a valuable forage plant for
warm climates, and especially
in those localities where severe
droughts are frequent. Il re-
quires continuous heat to bring
it to pefection. In the long bot
seasons of the extreme Southern
States it ought to do well, as it
requires continued heat to To-
crease continuous growth where
as many as three crops can be
taken in a single season.

The New York Herald and Tribune
on the Louisiana Election.

NEW YORK. Nov. 10, 3 p. H.
The following is from the leads
ing editorial in New York Trib-
une Of today:
Give us the honest vote. Let
it beborne in mind in the intense
moment of this waiting for the
final result of the presidential
election, that there is one thing
of vastly more Importance to the
people of this country than the
choice of either of the two cam
didates or the success of either
party, and that is. that whoever
is declared elected shall be hons
estly elected. Neither Governor
Tilden nor Governor Hayes can
afford to he declared elected or
to take the Office of President of
the United States, unless he has
been fairly and legally chosen
by honest ballots and an honest
count. More than this no pri>
vate citizen can afford to have
at such time as this any tam
pering with ballots or returns
Unhappily, there is nothing III
the record of either of the two
parties, as at present constituted
which forbids the suspicion that
corrupt men may be found in
either, who in such an emergency
as this, or even without the stress
Of so great a temptation, would
not shrink from the preparation
of such a crime. Do we need to
say that in this state of things
it is the duty Of honest citizens
Of both parties to lay aside all
partisanship, and demand that
the popular verdict as legally
rendered, he honestly recorded.
Nothing can compensate for
fraud; nothing relieve the faint
upon the national honor or justi-
fy the wrong upon the people
which dishonest manipulation Of
the returns would imply, for rea-
sons which have been heretofore
stated, and with which its read
ers are familiar, the Tribune has
desired the election of the Re-
publican candidates, and has
worked earnestly to that end;
but the Tribune's honest record
and all its traditions forbid that
it should stand by conserving, or
seeming to consent, to anything
that has in it the slightest sus-
picion Of all attempt to defraud
by dishonest ballots or false re-
turns the people of their rights.
1t can afford te stand and see a
verdict recorded against what it
believes to he the cause of truth,
justice and humanity, SO long as
that is the honest verdict of the
majority. 1t can take an adverse
judgment from the people upon
its appeal, and can stand and
wait. 1t has done so in the past
and with abiding confidence in
the ultimate honesty and good
sense of the people, as embodied
in the will of the majority, it can
do it again and again. But it
will not consent to have even its

NO PARTNERSHIP.

The Times quotes the resolutions of the
Property Holders Association thanking
the Times for its successful advocacy of
the order issued by Governor Kellogg to
suspend the penalties upon back taxes:
Mr.. Thompson and DR.. Tebault used
their utm ost endeavors to amend the resO-
luton by adding the name of Governor
Kellogg, and would probably have sue
ceeded, had not Mr.. Scanlan instantly op-
posed the amendment with such zeal and
eloquence, that DR.. Tebault became SO
frightened that he forgot the position he
had taken at frs, and moved the adoption
of the original motion.
So the advocate monopolizes the glory,
and the officer who grants the relief for
which the association prayed is not al
lowed to participate in the expression of
gratitude for his act. Instead of modest
ly declining to accept an honor conveyed
at the expense of him who gave it, the
Times exclaims, ''alone did it. 1t claims
the order of Governor Kellogg to be "a
prompt recognition of the Times efforts
on behalf Of the taxpayer" The White
Leaguers and McEneryites will demand
to know what the Times means by claim
ing such commanding influence wit h the
"usurper?" The Republicans will wish
to know how the Governor has been COM
PEELED to sign whatever the Times orders,
and meekly abdicates all the honor of a
great public kindness in favor of "the
largest daily circulation in the South
west?"

RUNNING BOTH PARTIES.

The anti-Republican press has under
taken very arduous task. It is to con-
duct the campaign for both parties. 1t
even complexities this enterprise by con-
Quoting the canvass for those two secret
and irreconciliable antagonists-the Con-
servative and Democratic parties. Pre-
vious to the late Republican convention,
the Times and Picayolne were perfectly
familiar with the intentions of all the Re-
publican aspirants. They predicted dis
sessions which could not be composed,
and results which would unite every
respectable man against any possible Re-
publican ticket. During its session this
convention was represented as gang
of disreputable rufians, and every
act Of its adoption was stigmatized as the
result of open corruption. We have been
reminded of the turbulent character of
the St. Louis convention, and asked why
we did not retort? We have never admit
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-07-14

ted that q Republican convention could
be as much wanting in respect for the
rules of order as one which represented the
open assailants of law and order, nor will
we admit that the colored and other Re-
publicans of Louisiana could follow such
an example. The Charleston Democratic
convention has not faded from the pages
of history. It dissolved in disorder, and
went into camp for war that dissolved
the Union. We offer no competition
with Democracy in any enterprise which
involves the violation of law to secure the
spoils of Office.
The anti Republican press continued
its superintendent Of Republican af-
fairs. No sooner had the convention ad-
journed that it was rumored- illus
trated by the anti-Republican press
that the Republican party was violently
divided and meditated a revolt against
the ticket An editorial reporter in the
Times of Sunday last lays down this
programme in the most authoritative
manner. Speaking as for some mythical
Republicans it is said that ''money
made the ticket" that it will arouse no
enthusiasm; will not carry the colored
voters; that "a nucleus has been formed
around which this opposition will
gather" and that this opposition only
awaits the Democratic nominations to
make their discomfort formally manifest.
This editorial observer is not worthy even
the confidence due to spy.
1t is the purest possible editorial clair
voyance. Others of the Republicans
chime in and report perfect demoraliza-
ton among the Republicans. For this
aggravated misrepresentation we return
our sincere thanks. The anti-Republican
convention is about to assemble. If the
anti-Republican scouts had made true
report the conglomerates would have seen
the necessity Of harmony among them
selves. They would have seen that in
unity consists their sole chance of victory.
The tale of the scouts may lead them to
believe that the conquest is easy. This
report will, therefore, stimulate every
aspirant to make a desperate effort
for the assured spoils of the cap
tured camp. The anti-Republican
press can not render us better service
than to diffuse these erroneous ideas.
They expect a surprise where they will
find the Republicans in solid battle array,
and instead of sacking an independent
camp this anti Republican conglomerate
will fly panic-stricken from the field.
Such is the capacious scheme of the anti
Republican party to run both parties.
We approve the failure Of the first part
Of the schedule and will continue our
observations upon the second part. If
the attempt to harmonic and consolidate
the anti Republican convention shall be
as signal failure as that to disorganize
the Republican, we shall be amply salts
fed

erals must be successful Has Mr.. Wilt
beena We say no, and he is not . leader
for Louisiana a. she is.
If such an argument disqualifies the
subordinate, it must, in like manner, de-
monstrate the incapacity of the principal.
Mr.. Witt is held responsible for the
passage of the Pacific railroad bill, and
for this "the overtaxed property holders
will always have cause to remember
him."
Here is the progress Of political assas-
sination. The issue presented is the in
dorsement Of the fourteenth of September.
Men are to be tried according to their
deeds on that day. Upon this issue
Messrs Penn and Wilt are attacked and
disqualified To the Republican party
these men are nothing. Such pubica-
tons, however, 60 to vindicate the Re-
publicans. They show that q Democratic
administration Of the city has been, &C.
cording to the admission Of it's friends, a
failure. 1t proves purpose to put down
men who have striven to arrest deeds of
violence, and install in their places those
who organize revolutions by force Of
arms.
We certainly have, in common with all
other citizens who have life or business at
stake, an interest that the State shall not
fall into the hands Of such violent men
as are enemies Of all who show the least
respect for law, or care for the life and
property of the citizen.

BY AUTHORITY.

An anonymous correspondent of the
Times, expressing the anonymous opinion
that "Governor Penn" will receive the
anonymous vote of great many anony-
nous voters, says this will certainly occur
because my people will not, can not,
and shall not vote the Customhouse
ticket" This decree, signed without
responsible signature, and Endorsed by
the anonymous Times, should settle the
question.

mine shall ever aid to elect President

When Sam Bard started the Campaign
Globe in Mobile, and came out strong for

Sam put up Tilden and Hendricks, and

everything is all right. Between Sam Bard
and Brick Pomeroy there is not much
choice, and the joy at our detection from
Bard is OILY restrained by the thought that
Brick has turned Republican.

THE STATE FINANCES.

THE STATE FINANCES.
Some of the principal capitalists of this
city, owners and representatives of the
bulk of the unfunded debt of Louisiana,
yesterday held an interview with Governo,
Kellogg, whereat the condition of the State
finances was infinitely and carefully in
vestigated. This investigation grew out
Of damaging, and, as was clearly shown,
untruthful rumors put in circulation by
'bear" operators in new consols. The
exhibit was most gratifying and satisfac-
tory.
1t is calculated that at the outside figure
only two and half millions of old bonds
can be presented for funding this year
the equivalent of one and half millions
consols. To meet the interest on this, all
but five thousand dollars is already on
hand for the year 1874; and enough to
make up the deficit for 1875 will undoubt-
eddy be collected very soon under the
operation of the executive order suspend
ing penalties for ninety days from the
large delinquent list of that year. Al
lowing for larger delinquent list than
usual, which, with the good crops and
active business now assured, is by no
means probable, especially as the out
going administration and collectors will
bend every energy to clearing the rolls,
the funds will be in the hands of the Fiscal
Agent by January to pay every outstand-
ing legal interest claim against the State.
This assured consummation should
send Louisiana bonds to the side of those
of Georgia and Texas, above par, and
prove crown of glory to government
than which not one was ever SO maligned,
misrepresented and slandered.
It was understood with the holders that
no meeting of the Funding Board will be
held until October, by which time Messrs.
W. c. Black, president of the Cotton Ex-
change, and J. II. Oglesby, Fiscal Agent,
will have returned from their summer
trips and can participate, and when
enough back taxes will have been turned
in to meet the interest for the years 1874
and 1875 respectively.
