HONEST IAa0.

We have found journals conducted with
the sole view Of extra edition sales and
party patronage naturally lay in stock
of such intelligence as will suit custom
ers, and accompany any changes of fancy
with a corresponding adaptation, the
best indication of Democratic purpose.
Among those which we have regarded as
the most authentic indexes of party in
tentions We may place the Picay4ne, an
independent journal, self-brevetted sub
organ of Democracy. For few days
it seems to have balanced between
peace and war, whipping up the
party to violence with one hand
and holding it back with the other.
Yesterday it seemed to reflect the
preponderance Of the revolutionary ele-
ment, though with characteristic caution,
it preserves q position of retreat. An
article headed ''Now or Never" quotes the
advice of Mr.. Tlden that the Democrats
should stand firm at this national crisis
to mean that "they should not permit
themselves to be oyerawed and intimi-
dated by General Grant and his troops"
Julian, the apostate, moreover, is quoted
as having remarked ''that he will have
nothing more to do with the Democrats if
they tamely submit to usurpation and
cowardly forego the fruits of their victory"
The Northern States rights Democracy
who took the Union side when the South
went to war for principle, are subse-
quently appealed to. 1t is insidiously
to the Kellys, Woods and
Tweeds Of Tammany that "the party in
Office will never relinquish its hold upon
the national government without blood.
The Northern Democracy is then to
she'd that "blood' for the spoils Of which
they were SO economical when their prin-
ciples were at stake. This shows an init
mate and exquisite knowledge Of the only

notivssAich could btiag the spdias hunt
en- Up r tho scratch. 1
Upon this var backing is founded the
equivocal counsel which follows:
Conservatism. it is limited, ''does not
mMn tinidity." Some dastardly spirits
have said that if Hayes is inaugurated, it
will b better to let them-the Republic
csns-have their own way. because ''thsy
must have their own way or they will
fight" The Last Ditch oasuist' asks:
Why not put it differently, and say, We
must have our way or We will 6ghts
The dastardly spirits say that the coun-
try will not stand by any party that would
plunge it into civil war. Then it is assumed
General Grant and Mr.. Hayes will be as
much responsible for the war Is the De-
mocracy. So every metaphysical pro-
vision having been made for the moral
justification Of Mr.. Tilden and the des-
perate Julian, the adroit insigator of the
conflict proceeds to organize the forces
necessary to give effect to its construc-
ton:
If We read Alright, the great conservative
masses of the North are of one mind, and
are 40 ready to fight for the position they
have WOE ct the ballOt-bOx % the 0pposi-
ton is for the spoiis Of Office. .
THE great conservative masses Of the
North" are then waging an honorable con-
Aict for position" while the Repub-
icans contend for the corrupt possession
Of the spolls. Having thus settled the
moral and physical supremacy of the
Northern Democracy the war is worked
up by proclaiming tie South ready to fall
in and fight:
If the North takes up the gauntlet which
General Grant il about to harl in the face
Of . popular majority and majority Of
the States, there 10 every reason Why the
South shouid rally to her support.
Still there is no overt proclamation of
present war, but q reserved purpose to in
augurate it hereafter:
If, then, We postpone the determination
of tho issue for four years, We do 90 only
to attempt it ct best under circumstances
of increased disadvantage.
If, therefore, the Northern Democracy
are willing to fight for the spoils, the
Southern Democracy, the South, will
rally to their support. If this co-opera-
ton can not be effected, the war may be
postponed for four years. Then it is in
evitable. From this We infer that the
contest Of courtesy, which immortalized
the French officer, who, in the moment Of
battle, called out: Gentlemen of the
English Guards, fire frst!" and that the
desperate war organ, with like chivalry,
comedies to its Northern allies the right
to begin the engagement.
There is more, however. Of the honest,
Iago than of the Chevalier Bayard in
this ingenious evaporation Of party
aninosities to effect the separation of the
interests which God has joined together.
There is too much weakness in the ele-
ment of mischief. There is too much
timidity in the equivocal counsels of
going to war-if you are certain to con-
quer, and not otherwise. There need be
no particular apprehension that the sup
pressed hatred to the American Union
and republican government will ter
inmate in injury to either.

SPENCER DEFENDS LOUISIANA.

This extraordinary gas metre beading is
put upon q Washington dispatch to q
Democratic contemporary. The dispatch
itself merely stated that Mr.. Spencer had
replied to ATTACKS on Louisiana by Gar
field and Frye" We knew that this state
ment could not be true, as both the gen.
tlemen accused of attacking Louisiana
have thousands of true and devoted
friends in this State. General Garfield
periled his life on holly contested battle
fields to break the manacles of half our
population, and set free the thoughts of
the other half. Mr. Frye has for years
been known as an able. untiring and in
flexible friend Of union and justice, and it
was difficult to conceive what motive he
could have for joining anybody in such
an s'attack on Louisiana" as to call forth
q special champion in the person of our
Congressman from the fifth district. A
very little research soon cleared the mys-
terry up, and showed the whole transac-
ton in its proper light. It appears that
in the course of debate Messrs. Garfield
and Frye expressed some very strong, but
by no means complimentary opinions
of the kind of people whose rec
ord has been rather freely unrolled
Of late by the sworn testimony of some of
their victims taken before the congress
sional committees 1t appears the Repub-
lican gentlemen charged completely
with the disreputable bulldozers upon the
leaders Of the Democratic party. Mr..
Spencer made the very common mistake
of suppostng that the State of Louisiana
had been attacked when it was only the
bad element Of his own party which had
been mentioned. If Mr.. Spencer and
other volunteer champions of Louisiana
will only take care Of the miscreants who
are employed by the Democracy to bring
disgrace upon this State. Louisiana will
need no defenders, ne apologists. He
has not defended this State; he has only
made an unsuccessful attempt to screen
his political party from the consequences
Of acts which disgrace the name of
humanity. and throw doubts upon South.
ern civilization. Fortunately it is not
altogether in the power Of these bad men
to besmirch the fair name of the State.
They stand before the world convicted of
crime and their names alone are involved
in disgrace. Mr.. Spencer may have at
tempted to defend these villains. He had
neither reason nor authority to appear as
the champion of Louisiana.

THE GENTLEMEN OF LOUISIANA. y

"We, the gentlemen of Louisiana" got
black eye in the course of the examina-
ton of Mrs. Alice Gilbert, of East Baton
Rouge, on Wednesday. She informed the
Senate committee that of the "lawyers,
business men and clerks of East Baton
Baton Rouge" she recognized one lawyer,
three clerks and one merchant, who came
to her house on the fifth of September, and
asked for her husband. Not being able to
find him, they turned everything in the
house topsy-turvy, broke open her armoir,
put revolver to her head and commanded
her to tell where Gilbert was. After an

1t is in this manner that the cruelty
and intolerance of the White League
press at home, with the whitening of the
sepulchre, by hypocritical pretenses Of
sectional friendship and love of the
Union have aided the Republicans. We
have made perfectly legitimate use of
these materials.
We have employed the larger Northern
circulation of the REPUBLICAN to inform
the world of the true inwardness of what
is called here "politics," but elsewhere
fraud, intolerance and murder. We
would that the Democratic press and
party would acknowledge the laws of
civilized political warfare. We would
prefer that they would permit immigra-
ton, allow business to continue during
election years, consent to some truce of
street warfare that would allow Wis.
itors and customers to come to the city, or
send their children to it's schools, without
the fear of having their heads shot off in

CHANDLER TO THE RESCUE.

CONTRADICTORY ADvICEs FROM THE
soUTH-TRooPs FOR THE SOUTH.
Special Dispatch to the Balto. Gazette.
NEW YORK, November 10.-1 A. M
The Democratic and Republican papers
are receiving contradictory specials on
Florida, on which the election turns by
common consent. The Worlds specials
indicate seven hundred democratic major
ity, and the Republicans claim it by
about the same figures. A dispatch of
Chandler is published saying: ave must
have Florida, at whatever cost or conse-
quences. South Carolina is democratic
by two thousand, and the democrats have
put the Charleston ballot-box under guard
Louisiana is democratic by seven theus-
and, but our friends telegraph that the
returning board may count Louisiana out
The republican majority in Ohio will be
under three thousand" "Herald" spe-
cials make the South Carolina Legisla-
ture democratic, and the New Jersey
Legislature also. Fitzpatrick is closeted
with the republican leaders. Chandler
is Oil his way to Florida. Stearnes has
been calling for concentrating troops on
Florida, aud orders have been issued ac-
cordingly. There is perfect confidence at
democratic headquarters. .t..l
The daily gazette., 1876-11-10

The States now in dispute, and upon
which the election will be decided arc
Louisiana and Florida. Our dispatches,
containing the latest returns from these
States, show that both of them have voted
tor TILDEN that is to say that a majority
of the votes cast in each of these States
have been cast for the TILDEN electoral
ticket. 1t is therefore certain, as the
vote of either one of them is all that is
necessary for the result, that Mr.. TILDEE
has been elected President. But yet
there are apprehensions in both of them
that such swindle may be attempted
over the returns as to encourage the Re-
publicans to keep up doubt, and even
to continue the pretepce of success.
The returns in Louisiana are under the
manipulation, of the infamous Returning
Board, which is prepared to resort to any
fraud whatever in the interest of Grant
ism and the returns or Florida are in
no less danger from the agents of Ad-
mtnistration. There is no doubt that
Chandler and his gang are ready to per
petrate any outrage at this crisis. but
there is a limit, which has already been
reached, to their cheatery, bribery and
corruption.--N. Y San.
