TAX COLLECTOR FOR BossIER

Ogden is an estimable citizen,

He is an active politician, hav-
ing been a Democratic onser-
vative candidate for the Legis

chairman of the executive COM

ment is an excellent one

Hundreds of Democratic appli-
cants are before Hayes to-day,
either in person or by letter. A
numberless legion of the same
sort are en- route hitherward.
They will apply for the smaller
Offices without stint, and will be
persistent in their claims.
Of this whole number hardly
a hundred will become converts
to the Republican creed. Of
those who do not ten will be
able to stand up against the
storm their apostacy provokes.
The improvement of the civil
service in the South is certain.
The disintegration of the South
ern Democracy is a myth. The
Southerners will take the Offices
and then proceed to hold the
fort. Before the solid South is
broken the Republican party
must be retired from power.
Then it may fall to pieces of its
own weight Wash. Cor. Phil

Hon. X. Q. Mills had the courage
to take bold ground upon the floor
of Congress against what he at
once recognized as an infamy-the
creation of a partisan board to de
eide who should be president. In
his memorable speech upon the con.
sideration of the bill creating the
commission, he spoke as follows:
For myself, l will stand by the
Constitution and sovereignty of the
people, and leave them to determine
whether or not they will abandon
their government to a bold, insolent
and palpable fraud. Concessions
to fraud never added to the right,
and only defers the evil we would
avoid, and, while deferring, increas-
es it's strength. If we are right,
then let US stand by the right, for
the sake of the right. If the Con-
stitution is assaulted by a powerful
combination for its overthrow, we
can best do our duty by rising to
the highest courage in its defense.
In the language Of a great Ameri-
can statesman, let us selling to the
Constitution as the mariner clings
to the last plank in the shipwreek
when might and TEMPEST gather
around him." Let us initiate the
high courage Of that other great
American name, and adopting his
motto, "Ask nothing but what is
right, and submit to nothing that
is wrong" These, sir, are the lights
that fall along my pathway, and
these are the lamps by which my
feet are guided, and l will follow
them with the faith and devotion
that the philosophers followed the
that lead them to the author of
truth.

ApDointees to Office.
From the Ouachita Telegraph.

From the Ouachita Telegraph
Some of Gov. Nicholls's appoint
ments to Office do not give entire
satisfaction to the Democrats, and
in some n ,tancs we think the CON-
plants are just. 1t is urged that,
in such cases, the claims of hard
working Democrats who have new
er refused to answer to the long roll
OF the Democratic drum, and have
lost by their party zeal and uncom
promising course, have been over
looked, or slaughtered, to make
room for applicants who are mainly
conspicuous for their apathy, or
brought into prominence by the
endorsement of Republicans. We
are not of those who would exclude
from our party, or its places of emol-
ument, a single voter qualified for
position, or deserving by past servi-
ces the honors due to a faithful
observance of the duties of a good
citizen; but we hold that promotion
comes rightfully from the faithful
discharge of trusts; that it is ingrati
tude to disregard the faithful serv-
ant for the stranger, and that no
political, or other organization can
safely elevate to leading positions
individuals whose only knowledge
of such organization has been gain
ed by opposing it. Recruits are
not at once made corporals, Ser
geants or commissioned officers.
If Gov. Nichols would maintain q
we'll disciplined party and organize a
strong and reliable support for his
administration, his appointees
should have no questionable stand
ing, but be men of influence with
the people and the Democratic party
and whose first notification of servi-
ces rendered is not a petition for
Office. Gov. McEnery, we dare say,
although acting for what he believe
to be the best interests of his party
and State, would tell Gov. Nichols
that in many of his (McEnery's) ap,
pointments to Office, urged thereto
by the hope of demoralizing the Re
publicans and gaining accessions,
he was not only disappointed, but
found the Democratic or peoples
party weakened. The result should
be sufficient warning for his gal
liant successor.
Objection may be made that party
men ought not to be in Office; but
no thinking man will make the as
sertion that political parties are not
a necessity, and if political parties
are necessary, they must be we'll
organized and disciplined, and,
what is equally important, they
must be led by safe and well tried
counsellOrs. We are aware that it
is no easy task to harmonic and
cement together the discordant ele
ments in politics presented to Gov.
Nichols for consideration; nor do
we have any idea that, in the effort
to reconcile these elements to each
other, he is consulting his own per.
sonal preferment; but it is matter
of history that political marriages
in this State have barely survived
the honey moon of an election, and
that even small efficient political
party is much more reliable and
effective than one much larger but
composed of individuals whose as
ISOLATION is matter of mere tolerance
among themselves, to be broken of
without formal notice and at the
offer of "a better thiDg.'

One oil the most prominent and
vitally important subjects agitating
the public mind at present is life
insurance. And with good reasons;
for in New York state alone, four
teen companies have disappeared
since 1872, and twenty-five since
1869. Out of forty three companies
which have had existence in that
state altogether, only eighteen re
main; and niue Of these were in
existence before the war. Accord
ing to the present showing, the old
companies are the soundest and
safest, although these are necessa-
rily subjected to much more severe
strains and tests than the Younger
ones. Only one company organized
previous to 1861, has thus far fail
ed, while all the others have come
up, like mushrooms, in a night, and
have collapsed as suddenly. 1t
looks now as though these poor,
weak, semi-swindling concerns would
be closed up, and the whole matter
put once more on sound financial
basis. When rightly conducted,
life insurance is undoubtedly bless.
ing; but wrongly managed, it is
nothing more than a gigantic fraud.
Let the good work go on.

DECLINE IN THE COMMERCE OF
NEW YORK.-An announcement
made by the Chamber of Commerce
Of New York, that the foreign trade
of that city, in imports and exports,
had declined during the last fiscal
year, to the extent of more than
ninety millions of dollars, while all
other ports of the United States
had increased the amount of their
foreign trade to the extent of more
than eleven millions of dollars, has
given new impetus to projects
designed to improve the terminal
facilities and direct railway connec
tons of New York. The Herald
advocates, in the most strenuous
manner, speedy action in reference
to such projects as the extension of
the Hudson River Railroad around
the water front of New York, the
completion of the Elevated Railroad,
and the construction Of the Hudson
River Tunnel.
President Hayes is entitled to be
judged by his own acts, and all
must see how embarrassing his task
is when he is confronted by the
men who brought him withered
chaplet to bear to the White House,
and who demand their hire. If he
would be just to those who gave
him his place, he must offend the
honest men of all parties; if he shall
be honest to the country, he must
