CONTRASTS.

During the eight years, from 1868 TO 1876
inclusive, this State was In the hands of the
party whose leaders and managers are now
uuartered in the Custom House. During
those years the expenses Of conducting the
State government amounted to the enormous
sum Of S5o,419,117. Under Democratic rule
during the eight years preceding the war,
the expenses of the State governmen ent
amounted to only $t497G427, and in the
last mentioned years the value Of the taxa
BILE property Of the State was probably four
times as great as during the disastrous years
Of Radical administration We present an
other contrast. In 1870 the taxable prop
erty OF the State. though greatly
less than it was prior to the war
was still assessed at S251, ,29G.Ol7 o.
In 1875 1t had deprecated to $lD5 59O4 4l9 sc
Thus it will be seen that In the years when
the State was impoverished by war and the
destruction Of property, eight years Of Radi-
cal government cost the people $35, 5,442, 600
more than eight years of Democratic rule
when the State was rich and prosperous. It
will also be seen that while the State grew in
wealth year after year under Democratic ad-
ministration. under Radical rule its property
shrunk in value In six years from 1870 to
1975-$55 ,3o1 .5o7 16. These figures show net
loss to the people Of Louisiana by eight years
of Radical government Of nearly $o1 100000,
to say nothing of the city. town, municipal
and State debts which have been entaicd
upon us and the next two or three genera

Citizens of New Orleans; taxpayers Of Lou
isiana; the new political Evangel which is
now being preached in this city, is the neces-
sltv, for the salvation Of your State and city,
of an alliance between the party which for
eight years thus robbed, pIundered and i'm
poverished you, the Native American party
and the Citizens' Conservative Association
to defeat the Democratic ticket and de-
moralize the Democratic party. Pause be-
fore you accept this startling gospel, There
may be men on the Democratic ticket
whom you dislike, but remember that the
success OF the combination against the
Democracy means the overthrow Of your
bulwark for ten years. and which saved you
In 1876 from four years more of strife and
plunder. Remember that IL the election OF
the Democratic ticket means the election of
Two or three men personally oblectiOnttple u
you, the defeat of the party now means the
remission of Louisiana back into the hands
Of the men who In eight years despoied hel
of 500, 900, dsgraced her name, paraIyzed
her industries and ruined her commerce. II

The impression has gone abroad that there
would be considerable surplus In the hands
of the New Orleans Towards when the cpl
demic ended and their labors ceased. This is
an error The Howards have finished their
seIf-imposed and arduous labors, and have
nearly wound up their affairs. There will be
nothing left, after paying outstanding bills
and physicians. It does not seem to be gene
rally understood that the Howard Assoca-
tion of New Orleans, under its charter, is not
allowed to carry any funds over. They
are required to expend what they re-
cetVe, or refund what is on hand when
their labors end. For this reason our
Howards announced some weeks ago
that they had received enough from the
generous charity Of their fellow-citizens to
meet probable wants, and requested further
contributions to them to cease. This action,
which was eminently right and proper, and
deserving of all praise, was the cause Of some
unjust censure at the time from those who
misunderstood the purposes and scope Of the
noble association whose fame to-day is world
wide and whose management Of great pub

ing "fenIfu to the Democratic Conservative
pmfp'-is it possible that in this Democratic
Conservative city it lacks the moral courage
to put ut the head OF its ticket the names Of

Congress and State Treasurer ?
Must any credeuce be given to the whispers
that in order to gather strength from the
various factions opposed to the Democratic
Conservative parity the Citizens Comm ittoe
have adopted the policy Of "masterly inac-

This Is q serious matter. The people are
curious to have an insight into the prepara-
ton of the ticket of that committee. Will it
assist them to suit the various views Of the
parties and factions opposed to the Demo-
Conservative party? Or will these
tickets be printed leaving blanks for State
treasurer and congressmen--so that each
voter may fill them up to suit himself?

There Is faint rumor on the streets that
one Gardner Is In the field for State Treas
urer. Upon inspection the name is found on
the so-called National ticket. Who Gardner
is doesn't clearly appear, but 1t Is certain that
he is In very bad company. Whoever he is
and however he found himself where he Is,
"the pregnant fact remains" that very few
ballots bearing that name will go Into the
boxes on Tuesday next. 1t can be asserted
with great positiveness that Gardner will not
be allowed to manage the funds of Louisiana
There is loud cali for him to remain at
home, and 1t approaches unanimity.

for Congress In the Fifth District. They be-
gan the canvass several weeks ago with all

was regarded as O. hopeless district. On

know that, until they are remedied by the
