New Orleans Republican., 1876-10-28

ORLEANS, OCTOBER


POLITICAL MOTHS.
We call upon every impartial citizen to
bear witness that the Demoer alto press and
tho Democratic committee arc endeavoring
to incite state Of public feeling which may
end In strife. The grossest misrepresenta-
ton Of proper and legal actions. coupled
with sggravating recommendations 10 keep
calm under grievances which woull be un-
bearsble did they exist, sre the nd lns en-
ployed to arouse popular passions.
We believe these inoendiary efforts will
fail of the intended effect, because We be-
lieve tho Democratic spokesmen and
leaders have lost popular confidence. Yet
the truth may - we'll again be again briefly
stated: It Is false that 10000 citizens will be
arrested; it is true that great proportion of
10000 Democratic registrations will be
shown not to be presented by actual voters,
and that many others are illegal. It is false
that any citizen who is legally and properly
registered will be arrested; it is possible
that some who have changed their resi-
dence since 1874 may suffer slight incon-
venience, but that inconvenience will be
the result Of their own direlction in not re-
registering 60 that they may legally vote in
November-and certainly Democrats should
not care to defend such dir, licts.
In . word, the Republicans are simply
doing what the Democrats have BEEN doing
for two months, viz: making afidsvits
against those they suspect to have fraudu-
lently registered, only they are taking more
precaution than the Democrsts did to verify
their charges before putting tho cases INTO
the hands Of the United States marshal.
Tho rumor was circulated early yesterday
that the chairman Of the Democratic State
Committee had prepared . stunning letter
exposing fresh Radical plot. He had dis
covered that Judge Steele resigned in order
to prevent the grand jury working up Repub-
lican registration ffauds and making reports
thereupon until after election for want of Q
court to report to. This WAS nuts for tho
boys" until it was learned that . cruel
Governor had spoiled the appeal to the
people to be patient, and the consequent
sensation. by appointing Mr.. Shaw to fill
the vacancy.
Tho infamous Yankee smissary who
commands the Grant hirelings at Monroe
has the audacity to overthrow . popular
belief about carpetbsRgers. The only off,
cial whom he commends for faithfully doing
his duty is . carpetbsgger and an appointee
of Governor KelloRR'e
The utmost harmony and good will has
been restored in the ranks of the Plaque
mines Republicans. and rousing majority
will be given in that parish next Tuesday
week.
United States Commissioner Southworth
Indignantly denies that there was any un-
due secrecy or semblance Of conspiracy in
the issuance of warrante for the arrest of
Democrats charged with fraudulent regis
tration. The moment the papers came into
his court they were opened to the press re-
porters and whom else desired information
regarding them. The same course exactly
Is being pursued - in the cases made up
BY the Democratic canvassers, and the only
difference seems to be that the Republicans
have been more careful about preparing
their evidence than were their opponents.
A member of the Democratic committee
yesterday admitted that there was . Re-
publican majority in this State; but, added
he Significantly, "what good will it do
Packard, with Tilden in the presidential
chair, to be elected. Without Federal back
ing he can not Last minute" Aud this II
the general Democratic tone and style. The
laws aad tho rights Of the majority are ut
terly ignored whenever the fear of . supe-
rior physical force Is removed.
If the lo,eoo sggrieved and outraged citi-
zens for whom Commissioner SOuthworth
is issuing warrsnts can not be found, where
does the ha.r come ini We contend that
In many cases they can not be arrested, and
the deputy marshsls will have to make an
other return of mot found" because they
are Democratic myths. Where an unre-
corded removal has caused the issuance OF
Q warrant, the only result will be to chow
that the individual has not done bis duty
to his party in securing his right to vote BY
having his registration papers changed.
The candidate ter clerk of the Superior
Criminal Court. ON the Republican ticket,
is not Eugene Desdunee, E-q, residing at
Ne. 43s Victory street. eighth ward.
The Times is entirely correct in the
above. Our candidate is gentleman who
resides in the eleventh ward, and his name
is not Eugene Desdunes.
In regard to that Revolutionary relic"
the Charleston Fusiliers, just now an object
Of Democratic sympathy, it is suggested
that they resemble potatoer, insomuch -
the best part Of tkem are under ground.
