Warmoth, the Warrior.

The most important thing we gath
or from orr Washington dispatches
and from the city press, is the prob
able return of Warmoth to the lead
rrsbjp ofthc stalwart republicans OF
Louisiana.
A combination of circumstances,
brought about in II great measure "H
those whom the people OF the State
fondly horetl would punish fr'ons for
past mlsdecdS, wonld seem, to the
timid observer, to render the chances
of this man successful. The "croWd
that Waruoth once lead to the feast
of spoi|s are still hrre-free as ar
and some of them, notably Pinc|'back,
grace the reform administration as
an evidence of grand (?) conservatism
These people are scattered through
out the State, positively stronger to-
day than they wero six months ago
aud their objective point, the plum
der of the white property owner, Is
one so remunerativc as to call forth
the energies and brain of the whole
mass, Besides this, they have now
no fear of Consequences. No tlmid =
ity of action, in consequence OF a
dread of the rigors Of stern law, Will
now deter them from doing their
worst. For have they not an ev'
idence that those in power now III
Louisiana have policy of "brothe1'y
love" to accomplish, and are slowly
bnt surely educating the people to Il
firm belief in the utter dcpravlty OF
the human family, at least, so far as
that part Of the family which resides
in Louisiana is concerned. Nay, they
must even be convinced, as we are,
that loyalty to virtue and honesty
meets no reward in Louisiana fol
have they not an evidence of this fact
from the appointments to Office, I'M
der government they bad reason TIC
fear for their evil and illegal deeds
of their most vicious characters, some
of them in the rural districts OF those
very men whom an outraged and rob-
bed people in 1874 forced to resign
The field seems. for these reasons
to he very encouraging to Warmoth
but he has still something to fear
and that is the stern, inhex,ble deter
mination of the white people to meet
his arguments in \ way that will bt

crowd" have every reason to antIcl-
nate an easy success they will ye
find that it is reckoning without
host. Our city friends need feel nc
alarm on account of the rural districts
where Warmoth is said to have hi
hackers.
The country parishes, so far as gu
observation goes, are safe and solid

BUELL., the Washington Cores
pendent of the New Orleans Democrat,
pleascs to say that President Hayes
appointed Jack Wharton U. S. Mar
shall for Louisiana, npon the ground
of his being the Rhoderick Dhu of
the swamps, and that the mere fact
ofthe announcement of Jack, "the re-
doubtable warrior" being appointed
would scare the "shot gun bhoys
out of their very boots. Jacks stand
ing as q good fellow is about on a
mar with that of his notorious quail
tications az q blackgnard, aud as for
the ''warr1or' part of the story, Jack
Wharton never aspired to that posi-
ton. Wharton, as is known to every
officer in Forests cavalry, was a
most Infamous coward on the field
and a veritable Falstaff in camp
Gen. Forrest, By order, sent him tc
the rear of his regiment for "cow'
ardice on the field" where he remain
ed aud marched, joked and Dragged
for more than a year. In fact, thu
only fight in which "Marshar Jack
commanded with "brilliancy ant
bravery" was in Bossier parish il
1867, when he murdered a whole
plantation of ''niggcrs.'
We fear Hayes will find "Jack" I
moor Rhoderick with which to fright
en- the "b'hoys" up Ouachita or Re-
River.

Does Grant Mean War?

The New Orleans Picayune publishes
an extract from a letter written by a
gentleman residing at Washington,
which is suggestive. The writer says:
my conviction is very clear that the
electoral vote of Florida, Louisiana and
South Carolina will be given to Hayes.
The Republican party never intends to
give up this Government. If you knew
as I do about the venality, corruption
and villiany of those in power here, you
would not and could not be surprised at
their tenacity of purpose to hold the
Government. With Democratic Ad-
ministration would come thorough and
complete investigation of the various de-
partments, and there would be exposed
corruptions and the perpetration OF
wholesale swindles and gigantic frauds
such as would appal and startle the ma
ton, and their perpetrators could not
escape condign punishment. To the
leaders of this Republican party civil
war, with all its attendant horrors, is
preferable to such profound and person
al disaster as would follow the inaugura.
ton of Tilden. Do not, therefore, de.
lude yourself with any false hope. Grant
means war; so do Chandler, Cameron,
and. firmly believe, the Senate. The
Republican leaders are unit upon the
question:

HON. A. H. STEPHENS ON THE UsUR-
PATIoN.-The following explains itself:
Washington, Dec. 1O.-Editor Con-
stitutiondl, augusta, Ga: The state
ments going the rounds of the papers
that am advising friendly acceptance
by the people of the South of the inau-
guration Of Mr.. Hayes is utterly un-
founded. never have and never shall
advise them or any other people to give
a friendly acceptance of any administra-
tion inaugurated by the grossest frauds
and most palpable usurpations. While
might not advise forcible resistance to
an Administration thus inaugurated,
yet / never could give 1t the sanction
of my approval or friendly acceptance.
For the overthrow of such dynasty I
should rather appeal to the peaceful in
strumentalities of the Constitution
These are the legislative halls, the judi
ciary, and the ballot-box, the latter OF
which should ever be held as sacred as
the ark of the covenant.

The OFFICEHoLDERs AGAINST THE
PEoPLE.-A letter from Washington to
the Whig says, forcibly:
every subject becomes contemplate
in presence of the momentous political
questions peering above the horizon of
the second century. Are majorities to
rule, or are the Officeholders strong
enough to declare their tenure perpet-
ual? No well-informed person doubts
that if it were not for this class, from
the Cabinet campaign minister down to
the postmaster who edits county news
paper, the country's demand for a
change would have been respected and
conceded, and that now, instead Of
anarchy and industrial paralysis, the
country would be healthfully engaged
in merchandise and agriculture"

THE DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR.
BY ALFRED TENNYsoN.
Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are wearily signing.
Toll ye the church bell sad and slow.
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
You came to us SO readily,
You lived with us 40 steadily,
Old year, you shall not die.
He lieth still; he doth not move;
He will not see the dawn Of day,
He hath no other life above,
He gave me friend, and true, true-love.
And the New-Year will take 'em away.
Old year, you must not go;
So long as yeu have been with us,
Such Joy as you have seen with US.
Old year, you shall not go.
Me froth'd his bumpers to the brim; -
A jollier year we shall not SEQ. -
But tho his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak Ill OF him.
He was friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die;
We did so laugh and cry with you.
I've half mind to die with you.
Old year, If you must die.
He was so full of joke and jest;
But all his merry quips are DER.
To see him die across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post-haste.
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own,
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the New-Year blithe and bold, my friend
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes! over the snow
heard just now the Growing cock,
The shadows flicker to and fro;
The cricket chirps the light burns low;
'Tis nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands. before you die.
Old year, we'll dearly rue for you;
What is it we can do for you;
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin.
Alack our friend is gone;
Close up his eyes, tie up his chin:
Step from the corpse, and let him In
That standeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door.
There's new foot on the floor, my friend,
And new face at the door, my friend,
A new face at the door.
