The Democratic majority in the next
Congress is again in danger, and Com
ioittee of Safety has been appointed to
take the case in hand. The accession
of Republican members from the
Southern States ensures Republican
majority, unless the Democrats, by the
tactics pursued in the case of Colorado,
secure the organization of the House,
and proceed to throw out enough mem
bers to give them the control. They
are already working with this end in
view

REVOLT OF THE CLUBS.

Among the names of Sitting Bull,
Spotted Tail and other singular sobri.
quets by which the Indians express their
estimates Of the various braves, we have
often felt curiosity to know whence
came the name Of one chief who figures
in various fights and treaties. He is known
as "Young Man Afraid of his Horses. !"
We may suppose that this young gentle
man may have stood in some such analogy
to his mustangs that the Bulletin does to
the reckless gangs which have heretofore
obeyed the bidding of the Democratic
leaders. The Bulletin manifests this
natural apprehension as follows:
1t seems to be fact, an unfortunate
though irreparable one, that the ward reg
istration has been largely deficient as re-
CARDS that class of citizens who are chief
interested in securing good nominations at
the approaching State and parish conven-
tions.
In nearly all the wards there are contests
between opposing factions for the control
Of the party machinery, and in almost
every instance citizens will find an OppOr-
tunlty OF promoting some patrlOtlc purpose
as against some selfish and unworthy
scheme.
Each good and loyal citizen is requested
to bear these facts in mind, and prevent
the consummation of unworthy schemes
as solemn duty he owes his country
and himself"
The Picaytne, which was in 1874 the
organ of assault upon the Republican
administration, now says:
The current of political life in this couu-
try is poisoned at its source. We do not
have to 60 outside of our own State or our
own city to find an illustration Of the
fact.
Then follows a candid but not compli-
mentary description Of the Democratic
Conservative party:
Thus it happens that the uard clubs and
primaries fall under the control Of the most
degraded. ignorant and uenal members of the
community. Penthouse politicians, bum
ners, wire workers and losfers, who visit
the ward club to back up q pet candidate

THE CONVENTION.

The hopeful promises Of good behavior
which appeared at the end of the session
on Thursday were not realized yesterday
Stimulated anew by the friends of Chat
tanooga, or demoralized by the money of
those who seek to break up the Repub-
ican party of this State, the factionists
began their ilibustering as soon as the
convention met, and kept it up all day.
They were powerfully aided by the singu-
lar ruling Of the chairman and the cum
brous rule for voting which has been
snaked into the convention. Nothing was
done all day but howl, raise silly points
of order, bully the chair and each other,
and listen to two or three windy orations
from as many demagogues Four days
have been consumed in an abor-
tive attempt to pack the convention
with the enemies Of the Republican party
men whose only constituents are the rings
of holders of fraudulent bonds, or leading
members of the Democracy. Fortunately,
the integrity of the Republican party does
not depend upon the action of this con-
vention. 1t depends entirely upon their
subsequent action what sort of respect
will be accorded to the result of their de-
lberations.
If this body proves too weak, or
treacherous or corrupt to do the work as
signed to it, another will have to be called
to take its place. Hence, it behooves the
delegates to consider well what they do,
whose lead they follow, and whom they
ignore if they expect their work to stand.
Unless there is something like return to
common sense pretty soon the session will
be protracted throughout next weak, if it
is not sooner brought to violent dissolu-
ton. Why, the Democracy could not
behave much worse.
There is, however, faint hope that the
convention will get to work to-day, and
dispatch the work before it, so that it will
not be necessary for meeting on Monday.

REGISTRATION IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS

Party politics have been degraded to
that extent in this city that it is necessary
to incur the trouble and expense of regis
tration or official enrolment to prevent
cheating in the primary elections. Both
parties are equally affected. The Repub-
icans have resorted to the ward club sys-
tenn for the purpose Of collecting and
having at hand ready for reference the
names of all who are deemed worthy to
become members. The Democrats have
adopted o nearly similar plan, to which
appears to be added the further work Of
registration for the purpose Of enrolling
members of the party who are not men,
bers OF the clubs. A law has been adopted
by each party, in imitation of the State
enactment, that nobody can vote at pri-
mary election, however we'll known as
man of intelligence and ability, or how
ever zealously attached to its principles,
who has not complied with the prerequisite
Of registration or initiation in some club.
Any vagabond who has had his name in
scribed in o club book, or elbowed hiss
way through crowd up to the registrars
ton clerks, is preferred at the primarys

| interest they manifest in a we'll contested
dog tight, Overrun the primaries and name

| introduces himself, he finds himself in q
minority. 30 pOwerless that he retires in
disgust
The deplorable condition in which the
gentlemen of Louisiana" find themselves
excites our sympathy, not at all our sur.
prise.
The Picay4ne utters the following com.
mentary upon its experience of the past
week:
Now it is plain that if the club president
IS corrupt man eeeking an Office himself
or earnestly DESTROYS of the elevation OF
some personal friend, he has it in bis power
to appoint commiss toner's who will iiisre.
gard every other considerati but the end
in view.
And deduces this inevitable corollary
Evidently, then, the ward clubs should
be differed by men who are not profes.
eiOnal politicians, and who have DO other
interest in the result than that of other
good citizens.
1t urges 'the better class of citizens" to
attend the primary elections, and reduc-
ing it all to single phrase, says, "Citi-
zens nominate before you VOTE" which is,
indeed, not very clear. Even with these
patriarchal admonitions, the Picavune is
not sanguine, and says, despairingly:
We feel assured that this advice will he
well received, but We are afraid that it will
be- too little needed.
We will translate al this:
The gentlemen Of Louisiana, DESTROYS
to secure all the principal patronage,
State and federal, struck out revolution
airy programme, which has continued
since 1872. To carry out this programme
required certain military ability to de-
feat majority of the voters. The fight
ing men Of the Democratic party were
then organized into brigades, commanded
by the gentlemen of Louisiana. They
were armed and led wherever charge
was necessary to the dispersion of the
unarmed. and commanded to dispense
whenever a force more formidable than
themselves appeared against them in the
field.
In due time there arose among these
subordinate bands q class graphically
designated by the Picayune as s'pot-house
politicians, wire-workers and loafers,"
and thus the Democratic ward clubs
''fall under the control Of the most de-
graded, ignorant and venal members of
the community" These aspirants have
dared to think they can draw salary,
distribute patronage or hire substitute
to perform those duties which they were
elected to perform as we'll as any gentle
man OF Louisiana. We have here, then,
a revolt of the clubs. The discovery has
been made that the men who do the
voting and fighting have the same right
and as much capacity for Office as those
who have led them in the chase and dis
charged them after the capture. These
men are armed and drilled. They can
elect their own officers. They see that
Democratic politics is but pretense to
seize upon the Offices, and they have de-
cided to take that contract themselves
Hence the revolt in the clubs, and thus
have "the gentlemen of Louisiana" been
left crying out in the cold. We told them
