The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-19

Yesterday Mr.. Leet, who Kellogg has
appointed tax collector Of st. Tammany
parish in place Of DeBlanc, and who
was recently engaged in a shooting
scrape with Mr. Bosquc, about the
matter, called TO inform us that he
had not been enrolling clerk of the
Senate rs the DEMOCRAT had stated, but
that he was minute clerk OF that au-
gust assembly. Mr.. Leet also informed
us that we were mistaken in designating
him IAN average carpet-bagger;
He says he is Missourian; that he has
been in Louisiana five years, and is a
property holder in st. Tammany. As
there is an irreooncilable difference OF
opinion between the Radicals and our
selves as to what constitutes carpet
Dagger, we shall not waste time in dis
cussing the question. We will take oc-
casion, however, to remark that if Mr..
Leet is not carpet Dagger he is in
devilish bad company.

servatives have had no power or influ-

servatives have had no power or infiu-
ence in tho government Of this State.
They have persistently and earnestly
fought the levy Of these taxes. They
have carried their opposition to the tax
alton, and practices, and policies OF
Radicalism, in fact, to the point OF actual
revolution. Radical Governors, Radical
Legislatures, Radical politicians have
wrought all this ruin. They organized
all the rings which curse the State
levied the taxes which impoverished the
people, and inaugurated the policy
which has Frustrated trade, driven
capital and emigration from our borders
and paralyzed our industries
We cannot see how any sensible man,
cognizant of these facts, can hope to OBJ
tain any relief for louisiana, or accom-
plish anything for the legitimate inter
ests of the State by making terms with
party whose only work has been rob-
berry, ruin and destruction. Against
the party which has done all this mis-
chief, which can not point to single
act in its career which has benefited the
State. the Democratic and Conservative
party stands arrayed, and with that
party merchants, property holders, me-
chanics and laborers must stand II they
hope to restore the era Of prosperity
and progress in their city and State.

Rail- Of the Mitchell Rifles.

Never in the history Of that magnifl-
cent structure, ST. Patrick's Hall. was
its spacious ballroom filled with more
select and brilliant assemblage than that
which graced the first annual ball Of
that gallant corps, the Mitchell Rifles,
Friday night. The room was tastefully
and beautifully decorated, the flag Of
Old Erin and her enchanting harp ap-
pearing as prominent features in the
ornamentation, which commenced at
the grand entrance and surrounded the
visitor on every side. There were
present the members of the Mitchell
Rifles, the hosts Of the evening, In their
attractive uniforms of green coats and
black pantaloons, and among the guests
we noticed many Of the Irish Rifles.
Hibernian Association, and the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians-and the ladies.
God bless them, Erin's greatest pride
and boast, her beautiful, chaste and re-
fined daughters. they were there in great
numbers. and IL valor succumbed to
laughing eyes of blue, or bright electric
orbs Of black, what wonder? The min.
utes flew by unnoticed, and grew into
hours, which, long ere the merry-makers
tired of their pleasures, ushered in the
gray hue Of another morn, and warned
the jewellers to depart. And when they
did SO, each one carried to bis home
bright memory Of the ball Of the Mitch
Of Rifles, which will long dwell pleas
antly with them.

From Yesterdays Evening Edition.I
The Morning Press,

The Bee continues it's comments OH
the investigation of the doings of the
Funding Board, giving long extracts
Of the report Of the committee presided
over by Mr.. g. W. r. Bailey. OF
course, as in the action Of most OF
the boards" with which the present
State administration and Radical rule
have cursed our community, investiga-
ton shows that the law has been
violated.
That paper has taken occasion Of the
arrival in this city Of Gen. Il. D. Lilley.
representing the "Lee Memorial Asso-
ciation," to pay an eloquent tribute of
respect to the great moral and military
hero, who will ever remain the crown
ing figure Of the Lost Cause"
The Republican recommends the ap-
pointment Of none but good and honest
men for office. Such measure, 1t says,
would insure the party's success at the
forthcoming elections.
The Picayune makes a point Of the
action Of the people of Cincinnati in
voting the railroad bill by an over
whelming majority, to push forward the
Pacific Railroad bill.
The Bulletin, takes the same cue for
the same object. 1t brings into relief
the practice which has been going on
Of late among members Of Congress to
traffic in military and naval cadetships,
and suggests radical change in the
law.
The Times is principally occupied with
the Importance OF revivifying our trade
with South America.

THE DEMOCRAT.

As the impression has gone abroad
that the days Of the DEMOCRAT were
numbered. we take this occasion to state
that an addition has been made to the
capital Of the enterprise, which insures
its permanency and success. The paper
has been transferred to, and from this
date will be published by VIM. Woelper
Il Co. No change will BIO made in the
policy of the, DEMOCRAT; 1t will be con-
Quoted on the same line on which ii was
started.
We shall spare no labor to make It a
thorough newspaper, and a sincere and
faithful advocate OF the Democratic
Conservative party Of Louisiana. We
believe that such paper is essential to
the cause Of our people, and we hope TO
receive liberal patronage from the
enemies of Radicalism.
Tomorrow. the printing establish
ment, business office and editorial
rooms OF the DEMOCRAT will be moved to
No. "a Camp street.

propriate and ydignifed. Judge Spot

propriate and ydignifed, Judge Spot
ford said
=" He did not stand there to de-
fend that decree, il it needed defense,
but he would, however, say that it was a
decree unanimously concurred In by the
Court without a single dissenting voice ;
that a rehearing had been asked for by
the defendants and had been unani-
mously refused. This decree is res ad-
judicata, final and irreversible. 1t is
binding upon all the world. 1t
is especially binding upon these
defendants. It is also binding upon
your Honor, as n member of the judi
cial organization Of the United States
Whatever may have been, and whatever
may be, your private opinion Of the
case and OF the decree, sir, you are com
PEELED to follow it and to give the fullest
effect to each and every particular man
date in the. decree; and, sir, ain per
suaded that my learned adversary, Mr..
Hunt, did not commend himself to your
Honor by impugning the correctness of
q judgment of that Court to which your
decisions may be carried for review and
correction; did not commend himself to
your Honor by impugning the integrity
Of that learned bench. Sir, the cause
Of justice did not suffer, as my learned
adversary said, by that decree, but was
advanced by it. -st
These may not be literally the words
uttered by Judge Spofford. but they are
substantially those he employed.
To conclude our attempt to reproduce
a scene hard to dsscribe, we have only
to say that the pretences OF Ludeling.
Ray and associates. were thoroughly
shown up and secuted at. Their facts
were brought to the test OF truth, and
proved to be--no facts. Their law was
torn into shreds and tatters, and they
left the court room, convinced that their
case was lost il the law was properly
administered by the court.

POLITICAL THISTLES.

For sixteen years the Republican
party have reigned supreme. No party
here, no reign in the monarchies Of the
old world, has ever had more absolute
sway. If there had been any inherent
value or truth in the doctrines on which
they have held their lease Of power; II
there had been any public virtue. or
craftsmanship in their representative
men, political vigor in their policy, or wis
dom and sagacity In their following, they
have certainly had ample time for de-
velopmcnt Tho most greedy partisan
could ask no wider field for experiment,
or more uncontrolled sphere Of action.
They started with n country prosperous
and powerful in undevelopcd re-
sources. and energies. They had the
prestige of political and military
victories that would have covered the
disgrace Of the corruption OF courts and
the imbecilities Of the average monarch.
They ayailed themselves to the last
limit of a popular sentiment, jaundiced
with prejudice in their favor, and
poisoned with distrust Of their oppo-
nents. In their ranks they have had,
what power and prestige can generally
substitute, the highest talent and accom-
plishments Of the section they repre-
sent; for the Republican party in its
inception and throughout It's history has
been always essentially a sectional
party And yet they have failed sadly,
ingloriously, disgracefully failed.
Before the first session Of q Demo
cratic House of Representatives expires
the records OF the ordinary committees
of investigation disclose record of
fraud, peculation and official corrup
ton that staggers belief and shakes the
experiment Of self-government to its
centre.
Old Europe. with all her experience
in such matters, looks with horror and
disgust on the selfish and vulgar vices
of the favorites and representatives OF
the Republican party, and the most
characteristics OF America,
on its centennial appearance before the
nations Of the world, are adaptability to
and availability for the lowest behests
Of social and political vice and corrup-
ton.
These arc the fruits of the Republican
thistle. Do men gather grapes of
thistles ?" The briars that alienated
The Southern States in 1861, have, In
1878, alienated and disgusted the sense
II decency and right throughout the
nations Of the world.
What then? Why. the true people Of
he whole country, North, East, West
ind South, must and will overthrow 1t.
The country must. in 1876, be wrested
rom a tyranny worse than King
Georges rule-the tyranny Of corrupt
ings. The man of low instincts and
brutal habits cannot longer drag the
American people down to the level of
porting circles. The plant for 1876
must not be less unselfish, or less
dapted to the wants and aspirations Of
he true people Of the country, than the
liant that grew and nourished in 1776.
he country cannot afford to attempt
onger to grather grapes from thistles.

Fourth District Of the incompetency and
stupidity of the delectable Urban, the
Assessor. The Republican clubs of the

The Best JOKE OF THE SEASON. I've

Herald:

cent, Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, giving rumor that Gov.
Kellogg Republican) intended to ap-
point Warmoth played-out Democrat)
Senator in place Of Mr.. Pinchback. Try
your ISLANDERS again, Mr.. Telegraph.

joke. unless it be styling Warmoth a
"played-out Democrat"

The party Of moral ideas seem just
now to be going into involuntary bank
ruptcy. We suggest the name Of E. E.
Norton as universal assignee in the
cases, and call on the late lamented
Durell for full endorsement. In the
distribution Of assets, we bespeak a
privileged share for Blaine. IF the con-
Germ should be closed out before Blaine
had a "divy," the country would not be
safe, and might lose statesman.

The conundrum is pressed upon the
Democracy, Why did the Republicans
carry New Hampshire? We answer,
the we'll known corruption Of that polit-

KNAPP, Williams, Grant and other cor
ruptions, and the Democracy don't pro.
pose TO divide that responsibility.
