Tho Democratic and Conservative

sion last night, TO determine upon the
mode and time Of the reorganization OF
tho party ii the various wards of this
city.
The resolutions, as finally adopted,
iig tho date OF reorganization on Fri
day. Juno 30, Meanwhile the clubs
are requested to assemble and elect
commissioners or judges OF ward regis
tration and election, otherwise the
presidents or tho central ward clubs
are authorized to appoint them.
Ample ttme has been given for a full
registration OF the Democratic and Con
scrvative voters, each Of whom will bc
provided with u certificate OF rogistra-
ton which will entitle him TO vote for
president. vice president, secretary and
treasurer OF his club and delegates To
the Parish Committee. This system, to-
gether with the mode Of electing Off.
GERS on the 3oth prox. by ballot, from
Il. IN. 10 9 p m, will avoid much OF the
confusion attendant upon primaries
and will leave little, II any, room foi
scenes of violence such as marked the
meeting Of the Ninth Ward on Satur'
day. 1t will facilitate, besides, all those
whose occupations will not permit them
to attend meetings at fixed and, to them
ineonycnient hours.

YFSTIaOSY or DISREPUTABLE CHAR.
ACrERS.

r. is to be regretted that papers claim
Ing TO 30 III the interest OF this people
arc using their best efforts TO discredit
some Of Tho witnesses who may testify
before the Congressional Committee.
Time and again tho cause OF public jus
iice has boon advanced 10y the testimony
OF thieves and murderers. Indeed, In
very many instances the truth could
never have been discovered had not
some villain "peached" upon his con
federates. Tho law, based upon the eX-
perience that no man will be likely to
accuse himself ofan infamous crime for
the more purpose OF duplicating some
one else, encourages consprators to
testify against each other, and rewards
those who do SO by cxempting them
from punishment.
Very few Of the shocking disclosures
which have recently astounded the
county could have been made without
the Testimony Of men who had been
nearly as deep in the miro as the head
corruptionists. And 80 well have the Gus
tomhouse chiefs in New Orleans covered
up their tracks SO close II corporation
has been their thieves den. that, unless
the testimony OF some OF the rascals
who have been concerned in the Gus
tomhouso operations is accepted, moth
ing oan be exposed, and the whole in
vestigation will prove an utter failure.
There Is no danger Of any honest man
being damaged by the testimony of the
Soelyes and Barretts. The Washington
committees have received the testimony
Of the blaokest rascals in the flock, and
have had no difficulty In readily detect
ing what was false and what was true in
their evidence, and 1t may be safely as
samed that every official who has been
ruined hos deserved all that he got.
Our contemporaries ought rot to exer-
else themselves so much over the char
aeter Of some Of the witnesses who may
appear before the committee now in this
city. The only danger is that these fel-
lows will not tell all they really know.
If The committee is not collection OF
imbeciles, and we believe it is not, it will
find little difficulty In detecting false
hood and discovering the truth in the
testimony given before it,. BY all means
then let us have all that Barrett, and
SeeIye and Ferguson, and Mrs. Bowers,
and all the other witnesses have to
tell. There is a mine of corruption IN
this city, deeper and fouler than that
which EXISTS in any other city in the
South, and Il this committee does not
unearth It, It will be the fault OF
the committee To obtain the clue
It nav be necessary to investigate
not only the Customhousc proper, but
the connection Of Customhause officials
with State House officials, and the
intermingling Of Customhouse affairs
with State and city politics. Be that
us it may, there is a moral pestilence
pervading this city, and its source is the
New Orleans Customhouse and the
Louisiana State House. Is the Commit
tee equal to its task, and will it expose
the details OF what every man, woman
and chisd ia the State knows exist?

The Radical State Convention 80 ap-
point delegates TO Cincinnati, now hold
ing at Mechanics Institute, it appears
has been captured by Packard. and del.
egates favorable to Conkling will very
probably be appointed, though we are
told the Packard men have no oSJec-
uon to Blaine. Pinchback, who is OF
course for Morton, has been beaten In
the first scrimmage, and it Is to be seen
whether or not he will rally his forces
and recover his ground. There Is Il
considerable Warmoth element in tho
convention which will probably be
much stronger in the nominating con
veuton, though Packard has made
strong point against them. lie has
told the Warmoth delegates that II

Upon the whole, the body at the Me-
chanics' Institute does not seem to be
as cheerful and rampant as its prede-
cessors. The shadow of doom seems tC
hang over it, and the only hope its
leaders entertain Of saving their party
is in the bayonets of the Federal Gov,

Weber, of the Feliciana Ledger. among
others gets off the following Joke:

=
The cowardly mounted horsemen who called
us out Of our house al eleven O'Clock last Tues
day night and fired several shots into our
premises, can always find us at our Office in day
time. But when calls are made upon rs at night
or marches are INDUCED in around our premises
after dusk, those who do so will be invited TO Il
soothing shower bath Of lead.
All the horsemen in Felicinia who are
corardly mounted, or who are mounted
on cows, beware OF Webare! Don't GO
near Webare's Office. Webare is, so to
speak, a Salamander, and takes shower
baths of lead to cool his fevered brow.
He is so reckless, that rather than not
be "intimidated" he will hire assassins
out of his own pocket to do it.

the bags of coffee the deck Before he had time to
remove IL tho watchman sent bullet whizzng past his
mead then another and another in rapid succession.
The thef hastily dropped into his boat and quick
treat followed. Meanwhile the lightermcn
aroused and they poured continuous

An hour Atterward the boat, containing two men,
was pulled alongside the lighter Captain John, which
was laden with sugar and tea The thieves stole In SO
