SATURDAY MORNING PRESS.

The Bee deplores the fact that many Of the
electors failed to register for tho primary elec-
tions. and has heard rumors OF extensive regis
tration frauds in some wards. II censures
severely ouch corrupt practices. and says that
tho lists must be revised. Those who iDaugurate
corruption In the wards are no better than Re-
publIcans and ought to be kicked out OF the
Democratic party. We are working to retrieve
tho country from the grasping hands OF thieves
and corruptionists and fraud u certainly not the
means to be used for that purpose. Our confrere
suggests that after revision the lists be reopened
to give an opportunity to the voters who have as

The Republican gives biographical synopsis
OF Gen. Han ock and criticises Hon. H. John
Ellis's letter advocating his nomination. II

that the negroes did not do IT," and that. II they
did it," it is tho fault Of the White League. Tho

threatening Kellogg ought to take steps to re2

The Bulletin weighs Hancock and Tilden for
the nomination Mt st. Louis and prefers Tilden.
Referring TO tho Republicans treatment of the
Port Hudson trouble the Bulletin says that 1t is
an instance Of the most talented and persistent
lying on record. The country will not hesitate
very long between the statement OF q gentleman
and officer and the high-pressure romance OF
disheveled organ.
The Times refutes tho Republicans assertion
that Republican defeat in Louisiana would en-
danger the status Of colored voters and OF Rad
ical merchants and mechanics. On the contrary
the triumph Of the Democratic and Conservative
party, IL II takes d. p. Penn loader. will end
the dynasty OF radicals in either camp and
sponge out rascaity and intolerance with an
even hand. s4
It wants tho people OF New Orleans to stop

Union. The cotton. sugar and rico crops have
boen plentiful and remunerative. The grain
trade is steadily augmenting. and economy is
being generally practised. Lot there be an end

II stirs up our citizens to tho expediency of
building q railroad to Texas. the result OF which
wouli be that every trade will revive and the
current of commerce will force the old Gus
toners of New Orleans to come back to her.
