A RIOT OR AN AUCTION.

The organ of the radical Democracy is
evidently working to bring about crisis.
1t wants to see another era of flags and
drums. But there is some doubt whether
these will turn out to be the insignia Of
bristling war or the more harmless imple-
ments of the sheriff auctioneer. Perhaps it
may succeed in getting both. Its apparent
ly angry appeals to the populace to rush to
arms, its benevolent suggestions to lynch
Senators and other prominent Repub-
icans. and turn things inside out general
", would have bad effect if addressed to
a constituency that had the power or the
will to do these things. But it is some
thing like Robert Toombs, of Georgia. In
the course of very silly, angry, bluster-
ing and imprudsnt speech, the other day,
he declared that he believed he was the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-02-09
WHO ARE THEY7
We are indebted to the Bulletin for this

We are indebted to the Bulletin for this
bit of political news:
Citizens of Louisiana demand
that pubic printing shall no longer be
made a monopoly for the sole benefit Of q
printing ring
Doubtless the half dozen or more cit
liens who own Democratic newspapers,
including number who have not been
here quite long enough to get the hang Of
things would be glad enough to see the
REPUBLICAN lose the printing, but the
uncertainty about the succession checks
the enthusiasm. Make it an open ques-
ton once and there would be a lively
rush to New York, or some other
Northern city, to see how cheap most
of the work could be done For there
is not a printing establishment in the State,
except the REPUBLICAN Office, that can do
the work. Until the present State Printer
undertook the contract, the bulk of the
work was always sent out of the State
The Annals generally vent to Boston,
the Revised Statutes and Codes to New
York, and the Statutes where they could
be done cheapest The State Printer gen.
orally had a newspaper, with good facili-
ties for publishing debates and legislative
proceedings, but rarely much of job
Office. For this description of work he
was simply broker, who carried the pat
ronage out of the State and pocketed.the
profits, which he spent where the
work was done. Whatever "citizens of
Louisiana" then, may be demanding
removal of the State printing Office out
of New Orleans, they are surely not our
printers or paper merchants. 1t would
be difficult for the Bulletin to point out
very many citizens who care much about
the thing one way or the other, if We ex-
cept those who expect to come in for a
good thing themselves in consequence
Perhaps the Bulletin would be better salts
fed if the Times or Picoyune, or even the
Democrat, could enjoy this monopoly. We
feel perfectly certain that either of these
neighborly and amiable establishments
would be delighted to see the Bulletin thus
Lonored for its valuable services in the
harmonious patty. But aside from these
enT.ous raraous, WHO axe a unit on strip |
ping patronage from the REPUBLICAN,
whether they are agreed as to its subse-
quent bestowal or not, We do not know
any "citizers of Louisiana" who are
themselves about the State print
ing. 1t the Bulletin is better informed |
We shall be glad to hear from it, especially |
if it can speak by authority.

Senate of Alabama in 1868, and while q
member of that body was elected to the
Forty-frst Congress. He has been re-
elected three times in his district. At his
last election he received $4,000 votes,
against 1888 cast for Democrat by the
name of Jones. This, then, is the offense
Of the educated gentleman, native and
planter of Alabama. He is Republican,
and beat Democrat in fair election.
He certainly is not entitled to the epithet
of "carpet-bagger," in the opprobrious
sense in which that term is used by
our old citizens, though he may be scala
wag enough, whatever that is, to depart
from the last-ditch line of Southern
Democrats, and work for the good of his
State. The imputations cast upon hin
by Mr.. Gould's organ, and considered
very pleasant reading by the New Orleans
Democrat indicate that he is one of the
progressive men of the South, upon whom
our welfare depends. Coming from Sec
ton of Alabama where sternwheel steam
ears are sometimes seen in the creeks,
Congressman Hays is appointed as one of
the Committee on Naval Affairs, by the
sagacious Speaker Kerr, along with Con-
gressma Lewis, Democratic marine
from Tuscaloosa Mr.. Kerr is as
jealous for the welfare of the South as Jay
Gould's organ, and he has selected the
Committee on Naval Affairs with such
care that, with the cooperation of Chair
man Whitthorne, a Democratic seaman
from Tennessee, we may expect to see
Congressman Lewis and Hays establish
ing a naval station in the interior Of Ala
bama. In the meantime let the Gould
organ and the baby representing the an
Gent regime of Louisiana possess them
selves in patience; the railway interests
are safe in the keeping Of Mr.. Kerr's COM
mittee of Northern men.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Technically speaking, there may be no
legal protection for private dispatch,
though it should be regarded as sacred as
letter committed to the mails. The
courts have decided that there is no legal
authority anywhere to open private let
ter without the consent of the writer or
the person to whom it was addressed
The same principle ought to be applied to
dispatches sent by telegraph. 1t is con-
tended by some that they are thus pro-
tected, but Judge Dillon, of Missouri
and Judge Woods, of Louisiana, have
ruled differently. They have required the
superintendent Of the telegraph companies
to bring all dispatches into court which
are required by the grand jury. The two
judges may be correct in their law, out
there is no doubt such action is wrong in
principle. If the law allows such OPP
pressive orders, it is bad law and ought
to be repealed, There is an apparent in
consistency In this practice with other
rules of evidence. In our courts, note
Of hand, or bank check which has
passed regularly through the bank, is not
prima facie genuine. Signatures must be
proved or admitted before written docu-
nents can be received as evidence, unless
the formality of acknowledgment before
a notary has been observed. A tele-
graphic dispatch, however, written per
haps by clerk, agent or other person,
without the knowledge or consent of the
principal, is ordered to be brought into
court to sustain an Indictment.
1t is proper enough to require dealer
in spirits to produce his books in court
on trial, as the law requires him to keep
an account of his transactions, and ex-
hibit it to the agents of the government
whenever called for. No other business
need be entered in the books kept for

only secessionist in the State. We hope
he was right in coming to this despairing
! conclusion, for then it would not make
much difference what he said. One lunatic
can be taken care of easily, but when
community or q whole State goes
mad, there is bound to be trouble.
Mr.. Toombs was once able to
raise State in arms. He now
can only raise laugh. It is so here. The
time was, and not very long ago, when
the excitable population of New Orleans
could be easily stirred up, aud led into ex-
cess, especially if glory or gain stood in
view. But we have been talked and
scolded into an apathy almost resembling
death. We have been invoked, appealed
to, bullied, coaxed and threatened so long
and often that, like other sinners, we sleep
calmly in our pews while the political
parsons are laundering out promises of
everlasting damnation and excitedly
pounding the Bible into frazzles.
We have had lively experience in riot
and uproar during the past twenty-five
years. The Democrats began it, of course
They tried to drive the Wings away from
the ballot-boxes, and succeeded pretty
we'll for a season. As their opponents
did not have control of the Legislature
they could not make a Returning Board,
so they formed new party, which was
put on q semi-war footing-the Know
Nothing party. The latter made it SO hot
for the Democracy in turn that they were
compelled to resort to registration law
and a sort Of returning board called State
commissioners of election. The quar-
reling continued up to 1861, when it was
by the war. After that, in 1866,
it was resumed with fatal results at Me-
chanics' Institute. Again, in 1868, there was
q return to the practice. By this time it
was found the United States government
had acquired such an influence here as to
make the riots Improbable. The Democ-
'acy then sulked. They refused to vote
or State officers. They attempted the
nendicant dodge-pretended they had
'een ruined by the war, protested against
paying taxes, thus trying to starve out the
government The newspapers
'ept up the war for a long time But the
udden collapse Of the Crescent, the thrice
epeated failure of the Bulletin, the hope
ass bankruptcy of the Times and the dis
aantling of the Bee admonished the jour-
alistic shippers that they must shorten
all or go under. The feet was finally
rought to anchor in the bay in dam
ged condition, all save one, the Picay,.ne,
hitch stood off with bristling broadsides
nd the secession flag of South Carolina
ying at the peak. This did rot last more
IAN about twelvemonth before the red
ag Of the sheriff was run up, and the ves-
81 brought into port, disarmed and char
red as harbor ferry.
Since then the Herald and the Bulletin
ave attempted little privateering under
tiers Of marque, but they found the
1siness Improbable. One Of them foun-
Bred at sea, and IL other has passed
to steadier hands. The Democrat is at
resent cruising about over the same
ounds. Its crew seem determined upon
war or an auction. We think it will be
10 latter.
