DEMOCRATIC UsURPATIOH.

| Inc REPUBLICAN mas long since called
attention to the fact that there has been
for some years past dual government in
Louisiana, one which represents the law,
and another which is based upon party
allegiance. The State government has
been alone maintained by Democratic
fear of the consequence of violating the
Federal law. 1t has been insulted and
assaulted. pronounced usurpation, and
Its alleged illegally made ground for
disregarding its lawful commands. This
opposition or Democratic government is
directed by political candidates and men
who have never recognized the decisions
of the amended constitution. It issues
its orders to organize and arm its followers.
1t has commanded one or more attacks
upon the State authority. It has forbid
den at one time the payment of taxes. It
has separated its adherents from political
association and forbidden it's leaders to
discuss public questions with their op-
ponents. 1t has prescribed citizens in
business and in society, and withheld the
wages of labor as the price of obedience
We regret to say that this fragrant war
presents all the strategy of war. Men
have been shot and intimidated from the
polls by armed bands. Documents essen
tial to the conduct of political elections
have been distracted from places of deposit |
or captured from the person of their GUS
todians.
Sometimes this outside authority has
ordered its followers to attend the polls |
on horseback to display its superior force.
Sometimes it has advised them to keep
the peace under any circumstances of |
provocation. AT last this party command
has set itself up as the equal in authority
with the State government, and the Re-
publican officials, who are not admitted
to political or social courtesies at the
hands of the Democracy, are required to
acknowledge the authority of party to
be equal to that of the law. The Fed
eral authorities have accepted here as
in New York proof of initial fraud and
have stricken the names of non-residents
from the rolls. At this the Democratic
rulers grow furious. They call upon all
such to demand their rights, to take tvs-
.imony and file their claims before no.
AIRY. We have been told of q hand bill
circular which recommends to such frauds
% press their demands at the polls and
'equire hearing before the commits
'ioners of election. Here are two devices
% defeat fair election. The one may
,rowd the polls to the exclusion of
voting. The other looks to q i,
contest before the State government if |
he Democracy shall prevail, and to an 4,
asy contest in the event that Congress {
emains as at last session. We have here

y side with the lawful government of /

lie, and boldly demands of q government
7hich it has bullied, DETAINED and {

. feeder to New York. Mr.. Osborne, Of
New York, the virtual representative Of
the foreign capital Invested in this road,
has, as We are credibly informed, indicated
that the interests of this road are rather
in the election Of Mr.. Tilden than of Mr..
Hayes.
Do not the property holders and busi.
ness men of New Orleans see that this
vast power is concentrated against their
river, their Texas railroad, their river
mouth, open or shut and against any
thing which may tend to liberate New
Orleans from the thraldom of New York;
It will be a fatal day for our commerce
when the vote of Louisiana shall be
tacke d to the triumphant train of New
York. Bonfires might be kindled and
artillery fired by New Orleans. A few
Last Ditchers might rush to Washington
and come back loaded with the empty
spoils of Office, but could New Orleans
obtain the slightest relaxation of
railroad monopoly? We know that it
could not. The principal Federal officers
would reward, enrich and dignity the few
who may receive them but from the day
that the railroad companies should place
Samuel Tilden, of New York, in the Iresi-
dental chair, no work rival to themselves
would ever be allowed to receive congress
sional aid or executive sanction. These
railroads have all they wish. They have
ability to carry out any measure in which
they are interested. They need only ask
Mr.. Tilden to stand by the obstructive
principles Of his own party, and not one
dollar can be given to the Mississippi
valley.
Our readers have heard the fable of the
horse who called the man to aid him in
his war against the stag. The horse was
bridled for the chase; he was successful
in avengihg his hostility to the stag, but
could never afterward dislodge his rider
and ruler. The Democracy of New Or
leans have an intense hatred of those who
fought for and saved the Union. Unable
unaided to cope with them, they call to
their assistance Tilden, the New York
railroad king. Once in power the mer-
chants and property holders may beg
deliverance from this thraldom. The bit |
is in the mouth, the saddle is on the |
back, the spurs are on the heels, and The |
refractory friends of the Mississippi will |
find themselves subjugated and subor-
dinates forever.
This warning may pass unheeded. The
support OF the New Orleans
Democracy may desert the Mississippi and
The Southwest. They may take the whole
electoral vote from Hayes. who represents
he valley and the West They may spurn
he many millions of dollars and the pow
'rful vote which Ohio can bring to the aid
If New Orleans; but when the day shall
ome, as it undoubtedly would come in
he event of Tilden's election, that the
waning remnant Of Western trade shall be
AIKEN from New Orleans and carried to
Few York, these words will be re-
aembered, and the madmen who will
ave sacrificed their city to the sordid
ortunes Of political party will be held

Look well to the tickets of both politi-
cal parties. Vote for no man who will
consent to have the wicked law under
which your business is broken up and
yourselves incarcerated, remain upon the
statute books for an hour longer than it
will take to repeal it. Vote for no parish
or city officer who has been party to the
Infamous crusade upon your rights.

TO THE VOTERS OF HEw ORLEANS.

TO THE VOTERS OF new ORLEANS.
Every duly qualified voter Of this city
will to-day be offered the opportunity te
cast his ballot for the candidates Of bis
choice. No obstruction will be placed in
his way by any legal authority, either
national, State or municipal, and it is
hoped that any attempt on the part Of
unofficial persons to interfere with voters
in any manner will be promptly checked
and punished. It is the duty of every
citizen who is properly registered to vote
once, and upon his own papers. He who
tries to do more than this will attempt q
fraud against the State, which is defined
by the law to be felony.
Ample preparations have been made by
the officers having charge of the election
to preserve the peace and protect the
purity of the ballot box. We notice that
one Incorporate journal pretends to be-
lieve these preparations portend q design
to disfranchise q large number Of citizens.
The gentlemen who have consented to
serve as deputy marshals are stigmatized
as the lowest characters in the COM
munity. And to round off the statement
with something like eclat, an impossible
rumor is given that five companies Of
negro militia, armed with Enfield rifles,
are to be mustered for bloody work.
All this is the merest bosh. Not one
citizen will be molested, disturbed or in
terfered with in any manner by the police,
the marshals, the troops, the marines or
the gunboats SO long as he pursues his
lawful business. And this, of course, ill.,
cludes the right to vote once. Rumor,
which seems to have given the Democratic
committees and newspapers the greater
part of the intelligence they have had dur
ing this long and tedious canvass, is
largely indebted to the fertility of the
Democratic brain and the mendacity of
the Democratic heart for the large harvest
of utterly baseless suggestions which
have daily been palmed off upon the peo-
pie by the press.
In an excitable, unrefecting commu-
nifty, these false and malicious reports are
calculated to create mischief, and it is
probably this very object the authors
have in view. But thanks to the pru-
dence of the Republicans apd the conser-
vative counsels of the better classes Of the
Democracy, no collision has occurred,
and none is threatened for to-day. It is
probable the want of interest felt in the
local contests will have some effect in the
way Of peace, but there is no doubt the
admirable preventive measures which |
have been adopted are entitled to consid-
grafton.
1t is the duty Of every Republican to
7ote and then retire to give others
'hance. 1t is the privilege Of the Demo-
rats to do the same, and we expect that
lot only officers but privates individuals
# our party shall treat them with the re-
pect and courtesy due from one gentle
nan to another. We look for such treat
aent from others, and it is our duty to
ccord it to them. If all observe this
ule, there will be nothing for the police
nd their auxiliaries to do, and the day
ill pass off as election days usually do
l this city, in perfectly quiet, orderly

WASHINGTON, May Is.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
has agreed to unanimous report in the
Schenck affair. The Republican members
Of that committee proposed to unite with
their Democratic colleagues on two condi-
tions, namely that the Executive Depart
ment should not bs condemned directly nor
Indirectly In connection with the Emma
Mine, and that the charge Of fraud should
not be made against General Schenck, ana
this proposition was accepted, and his con
nection with the operation declared as i'm
proper, and such as to bring suspicion upon
his motives, and subject him to unfavora-
bic criticism.
The resolution condemns the action Of
General R. C. Schenck for becoming di-
reetor in the Emma Mining Silver Company
of London, and his operations in connection
with the shares of said Company, and tht
endorsement thereof is i'll advised and un-
fortunate and inconsistent with tie obllga
tions and regularity Of his official position
