POLITICAL-THE GERMANS.

A contemplative German tells me that
in rejecting on what is and what might
have been the political condition of Lou
isiana, he is overcome by somewhat the
same regretful feeling as may be sup
posed to possess q man and woman,
welded to other mates, on their discoY-
cry that in reality they had been made
for each other, when all at once the sisu-
alton is changed, and the two parties, re-
leased from their mesalliances, are free
again to form that union for which nature
had destined them. And to this the re-
lation between the Germans and the Re-
publican party is analogous. BY oil the
laws of political affinity they should have
been identified with each other. Why
they were not is accounted for by our
local history for the last fifteen years.
Suffice il TO say that the main obstacle
has been the unfortunate tutorship under
which the Republican party hera had
fallen from its birth, and under which IL
has finally broken down. But now ell
this is changed. Emaneipated by its dis
aster from that control which caused it,
the Republican party has been taught
that to live hereafter il rnust deserve to
live, and the Germans have learned in
the victory Of the party they. had espoused
what they would never have learned in it's
defeat-to know the powers behind the
throne. They feelingly understand now
what they were fain 10 overlook at the
time, that the absence Of the German Gag
amidst all that lavish display Of bunting
at Governor Nichols Inauguration,
though possibly accidental, was yst SYM
bolical of their own political exclusion.
True, itwas not the share il the favor,
but the general axnelio1nti0n thev hoped

OARRYINe CONCEALED WEAPONS.

From certain complaints in two or three
Democratic city papers we infer that the
fashion of carrying concealed weapons is
to be disapproved for the present at least.
The law on the subject has never been
regularly enforced, and sometimes in the
midst of political connections excuses
have been invented by the party organs
foR those caught in contravention of the
law. 1t is notorious that large proper
ton Of the male inhabitants of New Or
leans habitually carry concealed arms of
one kind or other, 1t is equally true that
the bad habit leads to the greater part of
the bloodshed that disgraces our annals.
Spasmodic attempts have been made from
time to time to punish few of the more
obscure violators Of the law, but the pur-
suit of justice has been always checked
when the trail took the direction of some
man who is influential in his ward
Judge Steele, when he first assembled the
bench of the Superior Criminal Court,
began war on those who carried deadly
weapons. But when he found himself called
upon to punish the officers of his court
and several leading counsellors, he SUBJ
sided and gave it up. Latterly, Judge
Smith, Of the First Municipal Police
Court, has, according to the local report
ers, discharged a boy and man who
were arrested with weapons in their pos
session. The inquisitive reporters, hav-
ing at present no political motive for de-
Tending the practice of arming for ''self-
Defense" cautiously inquire; "How is
this2" thus intimating that his municipal
honor has closed his eye to a fragrant
breach of laws. Judge Smith is
amply able to defend himself, and is the
best judge of the necessity for so doing.
We will merely remark that If it be the
design to make sweeping application of
the law, and bring i'll all offenders, it will
meet the approval of all good citizens;
but if nothing more is intended than the
punishment of small boy and an obscure
man for doing what everybody" is doing,
we submit that Judge Smith may be ex.
eused for waiting until more favorable
condition of public sentiment for enforc-
ing law which has been generally dis
regarded by his predecessors for a quarter
of q century.

Reform vs.. Loot.

There is an interruption to harmony
and Cancellation" in the first ward. 1t
is about the proposed Pacific railroad tax,
and developed at a meeting of the Demo-
cratic Central Club called on Monday
night to indorse the bill favoring that
great public enterprise.
Mr.. Donovan, late of the Nichols po-
lice, and Familiarity known by his political
allies as ''Bow-legs," headed the short
haired opposition to the white vests, who
imagined they had sure thing with their
cut and dried resolutions. He eloquently
described how the boys had got the goose
OF the police and in city offices; and he
and the people at his back would now
take good care that ring Of purse-proud
taxpayers should not build railroad with
cheap convict labor. Besides, a lot of
fellows have been going around getting
wads of greenbacks to help put the thing
through, fobbing them and giving the
back Of their hands to the boys with in
influence,
1t is not likely that the free, honest and
industrious masses of the class to which
Mr.. Donovan belongs, viii submit to this
sort of thing supinely; SO look out for
political sport in the first ward. The re-
solution did not pass.

THE PREsB AND TIE SEWING RAOHINE I

COMPANIES.


After having pocketed about million
of dollars piece from the several sewing,
machine companies to advertise and puff
their wares during the past twenty years,
the press has suddenly made the startling
discovery that they were great monopo-
lists, and were, actually in a combination
with each other to maintain the prices of
machines. If the curious reader seeks
for solution Of this apparent enigma, he
will find it in the simple fact that several
of the patents have expired and the combi-
nation been broken. 1t is, therefore, no
longer to the interest of anybody to pay
for silence, and the vigilant reporters are
permitted to discover an alleged evil
which has existed and been known to
almost everybody except newspaper men
since 1857.
There is nothing strange or unnatural
in the fact that some five or six compa-
nies, finding themselves the exclusive
owners for fourteen years of very useful
article of domestic use, with fair pros
pect of renewal of the patents, should
combine to make the most of their good
fortune. The press now says that ma
chimes were sold under this combination
for six times the cost of manufacture. We
consider this extremely reasonable. The
mere cost Of making machine is about
one-third of the expense which accom-
panies it in all its various stages from raw
material to o cash sale. Besides, there is
always percentage of loss on every kind
of merchandise for bad debts. The man
factTlre, carrying and sale of q sewing
machine seems to have cost those engaged
in the business somewhere near half the
amount of the retail price. The other
half went of course to profit and royalty
on the patents. With the expiration of
the patent, however, the royalty will
cease, and the competition of manufac-
turers will naturally reduce the cost to
customers. One of the means employed
to keep up prices was the limit which was
placed upon the number of machines
which could be made by any one compa-
ny. Hereafter, anybody can make as
many as he thinks proper or can find
market for.

somethIur Abou. Newspaper,

That the Americans are reading peo-
pie is manifested by the statistics of the
newspaper press of the country, as given
in the Newspaper Directory for 1877, just
issued by S. NJ. Petengill & Co., the we'll
known advertising agents of New York,
Boston and Philadelphia: There are re-
ported in it the names, character (politi-
cal, agricultural, religious, medical, ETC., }
and names of publishers of no less than
795 dailies, 70 tri-weeklies, 125 semi
weeklies, e606 weeklies, 122 semi-month-
lies, TIL monthlies, 1e bi-monthlies and
60 quarterlies, published in the United
States and the British American Prov
inces. The Directory shows the number
Of each of these editions which are pub
lished in each State, Territory or Prov
ince.
The book contains 376 pages, and en-
braces an immense amount of valuable
information, showing great labor and
care in its collection and preparation. i
gives all necessary facts for an advertiser

impelled them to cast that ''baIance of
power which they held all on one
aide, and thereby to win the election in
both the city and the State. Wherefore
tits eminently proper that until ''that
good time coming" they should take as
their portion the cold shoulder-not SO
much mutton as sheep-which the party
gives them, interlarded with those dia-
tribes against Bismarck, the Emperor
William and the detracsion of all that
German civilization boasts of In this
nineteenth century. These things may
be offered them by representative ~ men
in the delusion of having prescriptive
right to their support, still it is as well to
inform them that, although reactionary
party may be resorted to to break down
a radical one, it is no substitute for a pro-
gressive party, in which alone, and in no
fossil conservatism, however pufftd up
and obtruded, the future salvation of Lou
isiana is to be found Amidst the general
feeling of shortcomings from all sides the
Germans are not unmindful of their sur
roundings. Undemonstrative as it
is their characteristic to be, they
have begun to revise their party
relations with the underlying hope
that in the next election they will not
again have to make their only choice that
makeshift of distempered times, the Dem
ocratic-C Conservative party. If they
should have to do it, it will be the fault
of the Republican party reformed, or of
any new party to take its place.
