BRIBERY-DE M0CRACY's LAST CARD.

DR.. Redfeld in recent dispatch to the
Cincinnati Commercial, speaking of the
Returning Board, said:
They could get 500 900 each TO count in
Tilden. 1t is asserted that 100000 of
Democratic money from New York is now
here to be used, if possible, in buying up
the board, but go far without success
This money may have been sent by New
York betting men. do not know as to
that; but have reasonably good authority
for saying that it has so far been without
avail. am informed that one of the men,
bers of the board has been approached in a
manner that he could not misunderstood,
but the approach was useless.
If the board was as black as it has been
painted, it seems remarkable that 60 large
. sum should have no influence upon them
The Republicans have suspicioned some
thing of the sort for long time, and par
ties who were attempting to work in the
Democratic interest with money have been
Swallowed.
Now that the returns are made and the
electoral vote cast, there has been some

THE RIGHTS OF LABOR,

Earth is the preparatory school in
which human nature is tested and human
souls are fitted for the deathlessness
which follows death. While enjoying the
privileges of this school it was evidently
the intent of the Supreme Ruler that
man should minister to his own neces-
sites. Even the first meal partaken of
by "the grand old gardener and his wife"
in Paradise, could not be obtained with
out the harvester's effort; and with the
renewal of each days life new wants had
to be attended to, which demanded and
compelled individual exertion. Indeed,
the helplessness of infant-man, and his
utter dependence on parental attentions,
furnish indirect evidence of the fact that
the originals of our race were created, as
Moses states, not only male and female,
but full grown, and capable of per-
forming all the needed functions
OF humanity. The first man and woman
could attend to their own wants and that
VI the helpless ones whom God gave
them, or they would have died when
thrown upon their own resources, and
their offspring would never have attained
maturity. Even before the fall, labor
must have been one of the conditions of
human existence, and afterward it proved
a harmonizing, humanizing, civilizing
agent, without which the natural man
would have become vicious and unpoy-
ernable barbarian. While ''the idle brain
is the devils workshop" labor furnishes
shelter for those who would otherwise be |
hungry and clothing for those who would
otherwise be naked. As labor is there
ore the great comfort producer, the great |
wealth producer, the grand integrant of |
'ociety, as such it is worthy of higher
lights and dignities than any hitherto
'ouchsafed.

30ehera. 1tiDpretty clear that the amour
stated. bysDr. Dsdasld - greatly under
estimated. A. mach hanger sum, it ap
pears from the rapidly accumulat
ing evidence, was placed in thu
hands, of q we'll known Democratic
ring politician, man who
is said to be closely related to one of the
members of the Returning Board. The
completely Of q certain heightened bank
president is also suggested. The SUM of
three hundred thousand dollars was ten
dered to one meaaber of the board, to
warp him from the performance Of his
j duty. Falling to corrupt the returning
officers, attempts were made on the virtue
of at least two members of the Electoral
College, all the details Of which will be de-
veloped in good time.
These are facts, and when the committee
Of Congressman, ordered by the Demo-
cratic Congress and detailed by Sam Ran
dali, shall arrive, an investigation of this
whole matter will be demanded by the
Louisiana Republicans, and Mr.. Morri-
son, the chairman, will not be permitted
to find ways and means to avoid search
ing investigation into this crooked phase
Of Tildenism in Louisiana.
Intimidation, fraud, murder, perjury
and bribery were the names of the cards
that constituted the flush hand of the re-
form Democracy in Louisiana in the late
election, and they were played boldly to
win; but it so happened that neither took
single trick. Bribery was the last
played, and it WAS played with the des-
perate, reckless bravado of gambler of
Morrissey's training, while Saints Trum-
bull, Julian and Palmer waited with eager
eyes to see the pot swept in.
The Republicans, conscious of the rec
titude of their cause, baff1ed the fierce
and hungry enemy, as they had often
done before, and the broken, bankrupt,
beaten Democracy scarcely stopped to
receive the benediction of our fawning
clergy, as they hurried away to seek
haven and consolation at Grammercy
Park and Morrissey's pool room.
How the Democrats played intimi-
dation, fraud, murder and perjury
in the late election in Louisiana, the
people of this country have pretty
thoroughly learned: How they sought |
TO win by bribery when all other means
had failed. the congressional committee
will have an opportunity to know when
hey arrive here. 1t may not suit their
purposes to investigate this branch of the |
'ubject; but, whatever the strength of !
heir allegiance to the Democratic party, |
hey will not dare to ignore the eviden CO
hat they will be compelled to face.

REPUBLICAN, FAITH.

When the Rspublicans Of the city o.
New Orlesns looked at the forlorn and
dilapidated condition of the streets and
other public accommodations; when they
heard the people residing near the bank
of great river complaining of want Of
water to drink; when they saw an expen-
sive and effective system of protection
from fire psralyzed by the want of water
for the engines; when they Witnessed the
burning of square after square and beheld
the miserable hundreds RENTED for in
demnity to the insurance Office or the play
house, they determined to sacrifice any
hope of Republican success or of Demo
cratic embarrassment by casting thek vote
for those of their opponents deemed most
fit for administering the affairs of the city.
With this purpose the parish convention
made nominations of city ticket from
its political opponents. It gave a dis
pensation to the Republicans who should
vote this ticket, and declared that such
vote should by no means impair the al
legiance Of the voter to the Republican
cause. The refusal of certain of tho Dem
ocratic nominees, notably that of the
Mayor and certain Administrators, to &C.
cept the unconditional vote of their fell
low-citizens, is notorious. There were
others, however, not so supercilious. We
point with a just pride to the Republican
vote so cast and recorded. The vote for
the Republican candidate for Mayor
varies little from that for the Democrat
nominated for Administrator of Com
merce, and the whole Republican vote
was given steadily for the ticket to which
it was pledged. The vote for Marigny,
as criminal sheriff, was alike compli-
to the fidelity Of the Republican
party and Of his own personal friends.
The average Republican vote given for
this ticket may be placed at fourteen
thousand five hundred, or about sixty per
cent of the total city vote.
It thus appears As an element proper
for Cancellation and cooperation in future
elections. The notorious corruption and
violence which marked tie Democratic |
and the discomfort which fol- |
owed its nominations, should convince
our people that An element so disinter-
,sted and so true should not be over
ooked or disregarded. We may look in |
uture elections to such . cooperation |
between the Republicans, so deeply inter-
'sted in law and order, and the property, |
business and intelligence of the Conserva-
ives. The interests of these elements are
he same. Each having the apprehension

A CHANGE OF VENUE,

This is, as our readers know, the re
moval of cause from one vicinage fo1
trial before another deemed more impair
tlal. There ID even another process fol
carrying cause up from an nferior to a
superior tribunal for inquiry and judg-
ment. The question of the presidential
election has been thus transferred to the
| government of the United States. Hence
the portentous quiet which reigns in
Louisiana. The importance CT this de-
cision to this and other Southern States
may be thus stated: If Mr.. Hayes be re-
turned President, tie present tranquility
will be preserved by the maintenance of
the Republican doctrine-that the Fed.
eral government can of its own action
preserve the peace of the States. If the
Democratic candidate be returned the
opposite doctrine will prevail 1t is
thus incautiously stated by the Picayune:
With Tilden az our President, we will
have no need to fear the Intervention of
troops in strictly State concerns. As one
expected to surrender the functions it has
so grossly usurped.
This is, we think, plain enough. If
Mr.. Tilden is elected, he is pledged
not to intervene in the affairs of the State
unless called on to do so by its de facto
authorities. The Democratic programme
then would be to require the recall of the
troops and ships stationed in the South;
to organize and mass the rife clubs of
the South, march from State to State, if
necessary, inaugurate and install the |
Democratic claimants of Office and repre-
sentation. This programme would have
followed from the doctrine of States rights |
and the law at the date of Mr.. Buchanan's |
administration. 1t would follow from the
principles avowed by Mr.. Tilden. 1t
would be demanded by the Southern
States, which have banded together to
elect him for this purpose. Our readers
will, then, see that this ominous tranquilli-
y which overspreads the city like pail has
been caused by the new trial granted up
IN the great question whether this is
Confederacy of States or government of
he nation. The Last Ditchers sleep on
heir arms awaiting the result of the
question thus transferred to another and
! higher jurisdiction. If the result be
determined in favor of nationality we
nay expect dissolution of the Democ-
acy. They will iberate the Conserva-
ives marched under guard to assault the
itadel of the constitution. The mass of
he people will melt into and amalgamate
nth the gnionists. If the decision be
favor of Confederacy of States, we
nay apprehend the Southern States will
ealize the reported horrors of Anderson.
