Heretofore It has been our custom, In com
to publish Oh the first of September nn an
nual statement of the commerce of New Or
leans But when that day rolled around this
year, the ravages Of the fever had become
fully developed, business was paralyzed. and
mail communication with our friends In the
interior almost entirely stopped by quaran-
tine restrictions. Under these adverse cir
cumstances we deemed 1t expedient to post
pone the publication Of our annual statement
to o time when the fever should have sub
sided and mail communication sufficiently
restored to enable us to deliver the DEMO
ORAT to our numerous subscribers In the
country, as well as to the correspondents Of
our advertising friends and patrons.
We take pleasure In announcing that sc
soon as the much longed-for black frost shall
make It's appearance and lower the crest 81
the knight with the yellow plume, we design
publishing q long, complete and exhaustive
report OF the commerce of New Orleans from
September |, 1877, up to date. On that occa'
sion We will issue one Of the largest editions
ever sent forth from o newspaper office II
New Orleans, and we specially direct the at
tention Of our advertising friends to this an
nouncement.
1t is well known fact that never before
we're stocks Of produce and merchandise at
the South lin the interior) SO low as at the
present time When the cause Of the inter
r1ption of business Is removed there will
necessarily be great demand for goods Of
all kinds. and New Orleans will naturally be
the great source of supply-the commercial
Mecca to which the country merchants and
planters will bend their steps fer the replen-
Ishment Of their empty stores and exhausted
larders.
Then will be the time for our mercantile
friends to avail themselves Of the superior
advantages which the DEMOCRATS annua
statement and its extraordinarily large edi
ton will afford to advertise their goods ant
present their claims for patronage to pur
chasers from the country.

dress and Its sentiments In yesterdays issueT
Instead OF doing this they content themselves
with q weak evasion. This Is not fair to the
public nor to Mr., johnson. Until the Citl-
zens' Conservative Association authori-
tativey deny the address, and de-
nounce Mr.. Johnsens action as i'm
proper and his pledges as unauthorized
by and without binding effect upon them
they must bear all the odium such action
confers. They are responsible for what Mr.
johnson does, and will be held to q strict &C
count for It at the polls to-day. The bread o.
white men cannot be traded away for votes
without those white men striking back with
ballots. And the Citizens know this. Hence
The weak evasion Of the "otficial Journal

The old cry Of fraud has been raised about
the registration in New York. Nearly $4,000
voters have been registered there, and this
appears to be an undoubted evidence Of fraud
from O. stalwart standpoint. just across
New Jersey is to be found the Radical city Of
Philadelphia, where 10000 voters have beer
registered. From the same stalwart stand
point this is o fair registry, New York con
tains nearly fifty per cent more population
than Philadelphia The force Of these OBJ
servations, as Capt. Bunsby would remark
lies In the application thereof

The weakly evening twinkler, which has
been named as the "official organ OF the Citi-
zens' Conservative Association until Tues
day next" (to-day) yesterday afternoon con-
tanned weak denial Of the responsibility OF
the association for the Address to the Col
ored Voters" That address was published
in the Observer on Saturday morning and Is
signed by "Charles G. johnson, chairman
Election Committee" Does the "official jour
nal" intend to say that Mr.. johnson published
the address and gave the guarantees con-
tained therein without authority and upon
his own responsibility 1t is too serious a
step in social and political economy for any
one man to take without substantial support
ers. The name of Mr.. johnson, the chairman
of the most important committee OF the party,
Is a sufficient evidence Of the genuineness
and high authority Of the document.
Is it possible that the Citizens
Conservative Association seek to shift
all the responsibility for this political fire
brand upon the shoulders Of Mr.. johnson?
This seems to be indicated by the 'offlciaI
journal" Why, then, did not thesAssociation
print frank and manly relutation OF the adj

The DEMOCRAT is getting itself very gener-
ally disliked-by tho opposition. First, 1t
published the expose Of the Native-Amerlcan-
National party, at which the Citizens were
nightly tickled Then it published the ad-
dress of the Citizens to the colored voters, tC
the great gIee Of the Nationals. AS both sides
have been greatly pleased it would appear
that the DEMOCRAT should be fayorite with
each And yet it must be confessed, sadly
enough, that this Is not so. The truth Is
Notwithstanding it's endeavors to please bott
parties by Civ ng publicity to their proceed
ngs, 1t has made q mistake. That was just
what was not wanted. Hence the dislike

tion. Every vote cast Against the first
Amendment should be counted In favor OF
New Orleans as the seat of government, for
the reason that this city is now the capital,
and the proposition to change 1t to Baton
Rouge Is an amendment.
No voter In this city, however, will be ex-
cusable for mistake. Let every one see that
his ticket bears this legend:
For AMENDMENT No. ONE, For STATE
CAPITAL, New ORLEANS"
This question must be voted upon. It can
not be Ignored. II you merely scratch you,
ticket that will be equivalent to half vote
for Baton Rouge. A majority OF the votes

The Democrats Of the Memphis District OF
Tennessee, having found it impossible to hold
q convention because of the prevailing fever,
and the executive committee having decided
to make no nomination, Col. Casey Young las
announced himself O. candidate In % manly
and outspoken card. The Radicals have put
@ nominee In The field; so have the Nationals.
A warm canvass is In progress, with all the
chances In favor Of Col. Young, notwith-
standing many Democrats will be absent
from the district on election day. Col. Young
Is the present member from the district and
is an able and active representative.

The first address Of the Citizens Conserva-
tive Association was signed by 536 persons
OF this number about one-half have returned
to the Democratic fold. Tt Is q singing
commentary upon the Association that sc
many of the original members have left it,
and that SO many more have failed to put
themselves in position TO vote. The regis
tration books show that 1873 have neglected
to register. And yet the C. G. ASS. publish
long addresses to the public advising other
people to vote.
