The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-02-01


The choice Of Lord Lytton as Lord
NorthbrOok's successor, says the Lon
don Times, is bold and striking. Few
could have guessed at this appointment
before it was made public; but still
fewer, probably, will now question its
fitness. Lord Lytton has his genius
by inheritance, but he has had
a training In public affairs which
his accomplished father had not, and
ne IS believed to possess administrative
abilities in which his father was want
ing. He possesses, but Is not possessed
by, q graceful poetic talent, which Sc
cures him the advantage Of a cultivated
and sympathetic imagination, but does
not Threaten to dominate his intellect
ual qualities. In the diplomatic service
he has risen fast and far, and both his
powers OF work and his skill in affairs
are recognized on the Continent nc less
than at home.

The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-02-01

SshoeA SSShAh6 tus ~
takes his old acquaintance away with
him, friendless and cashless in New Or
leans, and at the first opportunity
leaves the greenhorn to his wretched-
ness and bitter consciousness Of folly,
confused by the drugged liquor lavishly
offered in the den we have described,
and with q throbbing head and heart.
II not able to prevent such scenes as
these bunko swindlers conceive and exc
cute, the police OF the city should be
scorned and derided for their puerility,
incompeteney, or completely with these
social pests. What sort0f q police is 1t?
1t must have been badly selected, Snd
their heads and chiefs must wink at the
law-breakers and spoilers. II the pro-
cess OF roping-in from the streets and
stealing an innocent party's property,
is not, In mode and form. q highway
robbery, it is certainly q ~penitentiary Of
Tense. and the DEMOCRAT has
already intimated in q very I'm
mistakable manner that it has
but little faith in the trial
before the Police Commissioners
the other day when the Chief of Police
could call up rs witnesses for his defense
such a class Of creatures. We certainly
have no sort Of animosity towards Su-
perintendent Loan, but it is impossible
IN the nature Of things not to entertain
the conviction that he has knowingly
violated section five OF act number
twelve Of the Legislature of 1870. He
must have known that gambling houses
were opened and banking games played
In New Orleans. II SO, he has incurred
the severest penalty Of the law.

WHEREAS, Large districts OF the State of
Louisiana were inundated by the crevasses
OF 1874, thereby cutting down the crops in
such districts TO Cne-half of the usual crops,
thereby depriv;ng the laborers of any profits
from the crops Of 1874, causing thereby
great distress: and
Whereas. Owing to the poor crops Of the
years 1873 and 1874, and the poor condition
OF the levees throughout this State, the mer-
chants and others are not willing to furnish
supplies on credit, thereby compelling many
iabOrers to remain idle, and many farms to
remain uncuitivated; be it therefore
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives OF the State of Louisiana
in General Assembly convened, That we
hereby petition the Senate and Houee of
Representatives of the United States to pass
some measure Of relief for the laborers in
the ove!fowed districts of the State, Whereby
We may be able to go on with the cult;va-
ton OF the farms II such overlooked dis.
