ylcweM TrOsN u a0nntry standpoint

Il From the Clinton Patriot Democrat
Thereare, throughout Louisiana, not q
/ few honest and icohscfentious white men
who. forgetting the injuries and insults
heaped upon the people and the State
| by the Radical party. are yet willing to
make concessions to this vandal horde,
and for this purpose and with this in
tent are pleased to term themselves
| CONSERVATIVES. -,-s.,.s~.. ss----s
We are at a loss to understand how
| any man or class of men can content
| themselves by occupying a neutral posi-
| ton or half way ground at u moment
| when set Of vipers like those who fol-
low i'm the wake of Kellogg, and who
have allowed no opportunity to pHss
| without insulting, crushing and robbing
our impoverished people, ate again con
tending for the mastery. Can they
think for a moment that by It passive
policy they can induce set Of thieves
| from plundering, or band Of murder
ers from shedding blood? Can they
hope by groveling In the dust to secure
the pity OF man who has usurped the
highest office in the gift of the people
of the State. and deprived the
widow and the orphan Of the last hard
earned dollar? We should scarcely be
willing TO accord to them such q small
amount Of common sense. Their own
Judgment MUST dictate to them the fact
that IL our people are to hope for any
relief from oppression. It must be
through unity and determination and
that to present an unbroken front TO the
enemy it is necessary for them to fall
into limo with the only party which to
day stands in direct opposition TO Rad
icalism ana rascality. and with one
united effort crush the monster ere it
again sinks It's poisonous fangs into the
public heart.
The day and the hour has arrived
when every man in Louisiana must
either follow the proud banner OF the
Democratic party or fall into line with
the dirty, greasy and ignorant horde
who trudge after Kellogg, Casey and
other rascals who have too long infested
Louisiana
White men Of East Feliciaua white
men Of the State, upon which side OF
the house will you have 1t that you shall
be found Remember, you must either
be with US or against us i'm the coming
fight. There will be no half way ground
upon which you can stand and give an
approving word to each side. You must
either stand with the poor and oppress-
cd. but honest and intelligent white peo-
pie or you must be with the negroes,
and what Is worse. With Kellogg and
his band Of cut-throats and robbers.
Which will you PREFER The choice is
with you There are and will be but
two parties in the field. The first will
triumph and the latter will be utterly
defeated and routed. Take your stand.
and take II at once.

We were presented last evening by
Mr.. TIL. +. Hartel. with Edw. Vorster,
commission merchant at No. 20 Com
mon street. with several sample bottles
II. Auheuser's ST. Louis bottled lager
beer, for which Mr.. vorstcr is agent.
Mr.. vorster received at the recent Elk
position Fair, for Auheuser' Company
Brewery, the fret premium for best
draft beer in the United States" and
the silver medal for the 'best bottled
beer in the world" That is pretty high
praise. but we can say after having
tried the sample sent us that we have
never tasted any better article of its
kind, and that we do ne. believe that
il can be beat. .l

The Bee gives the list and the substance
OF the acts passed by the Legislature,
and which have been promulgated W
to this date. Ii comments upon the en-
barrassment Of the legislators who can.
not obtain warrants for their services
the reason for the Auditors refusal 10
issue the warrants under the general
appropriation act being that this act is
unconstitutional in certain provisions
which appear TO have been inserted as
amendments by the Senate, though
several Senators declare that these
amendments never passed that body,
and were interpolated in the bill by the
Secretary Of the Senate.
The Republican, evidently in allusion
10 the article in Sundays DEMOCRAT. re-
joices because 1t thinks that the attempt
to establish what 1t terms the Coushatta
system Of politics in this city has been
met by the American ascendancy of
men who prefer to remit to the polls the
determination Of all public questions.
II hopes that when this American opin-
ion is more generally adopted politics
here will become, MS it should be- a
bloodless dispute on the principles
which should govern the republic.
The PicGv,ae is at loss to under
stand why Conkling. as intimated in
Washington dispatch TO the New York
Herald, would be willing TO turn over
the Presidential candidacy to Grant, if
the latter wanted it. 1t considers that
Conkling is now the strongest candi-
date of his wing of the party, though it
thinks that with his antecedents, he
cannot obtain the nomination in the
present state Of public opinion.
The Buuet,n regrets that the rever
ence conceded to, and the influence
welded by, wealth, cause the commits
sion OF so many crimes for its acouisi-
ton 1t shows the evils which result
from the improper use thereof. espe-
cially in political matters when its pos.
SCISSORS invade public offices and legis-
latiye halls, and thinks that the meanest
of all dynasties is a moneyed oligarchy.
The Times thinks that the three ira
gedies which have signalized the past
few days show the necessity of stringent
laws, vigorously enforced, against the
carrying of concealed weapons. 1t says
that human life has become too cheap
and Insecure under this pernicious prac-
tice, and that it is to the interest of
every good citizen to improve this
melancholy situation.

A New York correspondent says the
low price OF diamonds nowadays does
not stop the illicit importation of them.
The methods by which diamonds are
struggled are very ingenious, and the
system has been SO well arranged that
our officials have been compelled to en-
ploy spies in foreign ports, who tele-
graph the departure Of suspected per
sons. As soon as the latter arrive
they are taken to the Searchers Bureau
in the Custom House, where, If neces-
sary, they. are stripped to the skin.
The clothing is also searched. even
to the seam, and sometimes the
heels of the boots are removed to
see If they be not hollow. Even
the hair Is combed. and q wig, il
one be worn, is thoroughly examined
In one instance u passenger by one OF
the Cunard steamers had one thousand
dollars worth Of precious stones con
cealed in the lining OF his boots, which
were discovered and cohtlscated. This
man was a dealer in these articles. and
was determined to continue the traffic.
In short time he went again to Lon
don. aud soon returned. On this occa.
sion he was closely searched. but moth
ing was found. As soon rs he was re-
leased he went back to the steamer and
carried off large quantity of diamonds
he had secreted in his staterOom. Some
time ago the authorities received
notice Of the departure of notori-
Gus diamond smuggler from Europe.
bound for New York. On his arrival he
was taken to the Searchers' Bureau and
thoroughly examined. In his pocket
book was an invoice OF eighteen pre-
cious stones. and his clothes were exam
ined, each garment by itself. Tho of
ticers were gratifled to discover the pre-
else number mentioned i'm the invoice,
and allowed the man to depart. When
he went homo he removed u plaster
from his back, In the ridges of which he
had concealed the true diamonds, those
being merely limitations and
placed there In order to deceive.

ter General Jewel is in trouble. Kerns
& Mitchell, mail contractors, obtained
tho route from Mcssilo, New Mexico,
to San Diego, California, during Cres'
wells administration, for $4,000.
When Jewell came into office he was
persuaded to increase the service to
Sl00, 900 per annum, while the mails,
in reality, were delivered with no more
rapidity than before. Tho fact that
the increase Of pay was q swindle was
brought to his attention many times,
and responsible parties offered to per
form a daily service for the amount
paid for tri-weekly mail. Responsi.
bio parties also offered to do the same
service as Korns 4 Mitchell for one
half of the money they were receiving
but Mr. Jewell declined to perform his
evident duty in the matter. The con
tractors were required to file sworn
inventory of the additional stock and
fixtures required Tor tho increased ser.
vice for which tho pay was raised to
100000. An examination of this in
ventory, on file in the Postoflice De
partment, shows that il is neither sign
